From multiple explosions to tragic stampedes: 20 most dominant events of 2024LOS ANGELES (AP) — Receiver Demarcus Robinson will not be suspended by the Los Angeles Rams this week after his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence. Robinson will be available to play when the Rams (5-6) visit the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday. “I think he does understand the severity of this, and how lucky we were that nobody was injured,” McVay said. “I do believe that he's remorseful. We are going to let the legal process take place. The league has a process as well.” Robinson was arrested early Monday morning after California Highway Patrol officers observed a white Dodge sedan driving over 100 mph on the 101 freeway in the western San Fernando Valley, a few miles from the Rams’ training complex in Woodland Hills. The driver, who identified himself as Robinson, had “objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment,” the CHP said in a statement released to The Associated Press. Robinson spoke to the team and expressed remorse about his arrest, McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “I think it was a bad decision he made,” McVay said. “I don't think that makes him a bad person, and I do believe this is something that, with the words that he said, our guys will learn from it, and hopefully nobody is ever going to repeat something like this. Let it be a learning opportunity, and a fortunate outcome that nobody was injured.” Robinson has 26 receptions for 384 yards and a team-leading six touchdown catches while starting all 11 games in his second season with the Rams . He caught a TD pass in the Rams' 37-20 loss to Philadelphia several hours before his arrest. The nine-year NFL veteran has served as a capable No. 3 option for Stafford behind star receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Robinson spent his first six NFL seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning a Super Bowl ring in February 2020, and spent one year with Baltimore before joining the Rams last year. “Let this be a lesson to all of us,” Stafford said. “We're lucky with the result that came of it, to be honest with you, that nobody was hurt or injured. I know that D-Rob is a great person. I love being around him. Love him as a teammate. ... I'm just trying to support him, help him out any way I can.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFLInnodata director Toor sells $9.07 million in common stock
Another Marshon Lattimore update makes the Saints look like they knew more than anyone expected
Seniors struggle to make close friendships in new communityCanada has told the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal it can’t say when it will work through a backlog of some 140,000 cases related to First Nations child services. That has led to a prominent child welfare advocate and First Nations leaders in Manitoba warning about an escalating crisis caused by Canada’s inaction. Jordan’s Principle is a legal rule that stipulates that when a First Nations child needs health, social or educational services they are to receive them from the government first approached, with questions about final jurisdiction worked out afterward. The tribunal ordered Canada to identify the number of backlogged cases under that rule and return to it with a detailed plan to address them by Dec. 10. On that deadline Canada told the tribunal the proposed timeline to address the backlog of some 140,000 cases was “not operationally feasible” and could impact the delivery of services to First Nations children and families. It also identified 25,891 are labelled as urgent. Urgent Jordan’s Principle requests are supposed to be processed within 24 hours. But urgent requests are taking up to one month to be reviewed, according to Independent First Nations, an advocacy body representing a dozen First Nations in Ontario and Quebec. In a January affidavit, the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society said nearly half of requests made by individuals from those First Nations in 2023-24 are still in review, along with 10 per cent of the files submitted in 2022-23. The delays extend to the reimbursement of service providers, the Caring Society argued, with the Indigenous Services department missing its own promise to make those payments within 15 days. In 2022-23, the department processed only 50.7 per cent of payments within 15 business days, compared to 82.9 per cent in 2021-22. In an interview Thursday, Cindy Blackstock, who heads the Caring Society, said Canada is making excuses for its noncompliance in its letter to the tribunal, and that it’s a mess of its own creation. “Canada behaved its way into this backlog crisis by not addressing it at an earlier stage and not implementing the many solutions that were put to it to solve the problem,” she said. “And now it’s saying, ‘Well, we’re in this crisis, and so we can’t possibly comply with the legal orders that are intended to stop the discrimination.’ That cannot be allowed.” In the meantime, children are suffering due to Canada’s actions, she said. The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, which represents the 63 First Nations in the province, echoed her concerns, calling it an unsustainable system of paperwork and approval processes. “This bureaucratic red tape is delaying urgent care for children and creating a situation where First Nations are powerless to make the decisions necessary to protect their own children, youth and families,” the organization said in a statement released Wednesday evening. This has resulted in children missing critical medical appointments, essential education supports and cultural programs, said acting Grand Chief Betsy Kennedy. “This ongoing confusion and frustration, created by Canada’s refusal to engage with First Nations on decision and guidelines, are making it even harder for our children to access the services they are legally entitled to,” she added. Manitoba is ranked third highest in estimated backlogs amongst the provinces, data Indigenous Services Canada provided in its report shows. There are more than 25,000 requests outstanding. Saskatchewan is the highest with more than 33,000 claims followed by Ontario with more than 30,000. Indigenous Services Canada did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Ryan Day's Reaction to Michigan-Ohio State Brawl Is Going ViralEXCLUSIVE Revealed: Eyewatering £37BILLION cost of Ed Miliband's green crusade to make Britain Net Zero by 2029 By BILL BOWKETT Published: 23:21 GMT, 28 December 2024 | Updated: 23:44 GMT, 28 December 2024 e-mail View comments Ed Miliband's spending spree to make Britain achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by the next general election in 2029 will cost a staggering £37billion in public money, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. The Energy Secretary has said average energy bills could be £300 lower in five years as the country shifts to a greener economy. But an audit by The Mail on Sunday has uncovered at least £37.4billion of taxpayers' money being earmarked for Net Zero initiatives over the course of this Parliament. It comes as ministers draw up plans to subsidise the cost of fitting solar panels and energy storage batteries in homes for the Government's pledge for the UK to use clean energy by 2030. The creation of Great British Energy, a publicly owned firm, will cost at least £8.3billion, and in October the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero took control of the Electricity System Operator, the National Grid unit tasked with keeping the nation's lights on, in a £630million deal. Meanwhile the National Wealth Fund, which supports clean energy industries and industrial strategy, has £7.3billion of Treasury backing. Mr Miliband has even promised to honour a 2019 Conservative pledge to provide £11.6billion for international climate funding by 2026. In February, the Independent Commission for Aid Impact said the target would be 'challenging' to meet, with 55 per cent of the funding – around £6billion – yet to be spent. Ed Miliband's spending spree to make Britain achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by the next general election in 2029 will cost a staggering £37billion in public money, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Elsewhere, the Autumn Budget confirmed an initial £3.4billion over the next three years towards decarbonising 350,000 homes and replacing fossil fuel-burning gas boilers with heat pumps. The Times reported that millions of homeowners are to be offered grants and cheap loans to convert their properties to solar power as part of the Warm Homes Plan. Other funding programmes Labour is pressing ahead with include: £2billion for the automotive industry's transition to Net Zero, digitalisation, and automation, as well as £200million for EV charging points; £120million to support buying electric vans as part of the plug-in vehicle grant; £2billion for 11 new hydrogen projects; £1.5billion for the next renewable energy auction; £239million to help tackle global deforestation. In September, the Capital Markets Industry Taskforce – established by the London Stock Exchange in 2022 – predicted that the Government's ambition to make the transition to Net Zero would need up to £50billion in public and private funds annually until 2030.

Tory energy spokesman Claire Coutinho said last night: 'Labour's Net Zero zealotry will mean taxpayers having to fork out billions of pounds in pursuit of Ed Miliband's vanity projects, and leaving families facing higher costs.' Yesterday, the Daily Mail reported that families will be hit with the highest ever tax rates on flights after Chancellor Rachel Reeves increased Air Passenger Duty by 15 per cent on most flights. The UK Energy Research Centre said Mr Miliband's drive for £40billion a year in private investment to decarbonise the National Grid could force the UK to pay a premium to secure technology and that, because of uncertainty over gas prices, there was no guarantee it would lead to lower energy bills.

The ice sheet at TRIA Rink was slightly more crowded than in recent weeks on Thursday morning as the Minnesota Wild held their pregame skate in preparation for the Oilers first visit of the season. The two extra bodies on the ice represented some good news for a team that has made winning, despite significant injuries, its competing storylines this season. ADVERTISEMENT Specifically, veteran defenseman Jonas Brodin and top-line forward Mats Zuccarello were in full uniform, skating with their teammates for the first time in a long time. And while neither was expected back in the lineup just yet, having numbers 25 and 36 on the rink was a notably positive sight. “Really good just in the sense that they were able to skate, so we’ll do some extra work after practice and then probably skate again tomorrow and then we’ll see,” Wild coach John Hynes said. “I don’t have a timeline on them yet other than they’ve progressed well to get in the team setting. So, now we’ll see what they do. They’ll need some contact and some extra work and see how they respond.” Brodin has missed nine games this season, including the previous seven in a row, while dealing with an upper body injury. Zuccarello last played in a home win over Montreal on Nov. 14, when he was hit below the belt by a teammate’s shot and suffered a lower body injury that required surgery. Having both players back on the ice was a meaningful step for their teammates, as the Wild have persevered and gotten to the top of the Western Conference standings despite those losses, and the ongoing absence of center Joel Eriksson Ek. Brodin especially is a key player on the team’s blue line. ADVERTISEMENT “It’s exciting for everyone. He’s an important part of our team and such a factor every time he’s on the ice,” defenseman Declan Chisholm said. “He’s missed for sure and we’re excited to get him back soon.” Hynes added that during a player’s recovery from an injury, after they have begun working out and skating on their own, that first time stepping back onto the practice rink with teammates in full uniform can be a notable psychological boost. “It’s important because usually you go through that stage of the off-ice treatments and then recovery, weight room, skate on your own, and they’ve been skating together for a couple days,” the coach said. “But to get in the team setting where you’re with other guys on the ice, you’re back with the team, there’s a lot more going on, and you’re reading and reacting in certain situations, it’s a good step to get back in the team setting.” Eriksson Ek has not yet begun skating on his own as he recovers from a lower body injury suffered in overtime of a win versus Vancouver last week. ADVERTISEMENT Hockey fans in the holiday spirit of helping those in need will have two opportunities to contribute to toy drives organized by the Wild in advance of Christmas. Prior to the Saturday, Dec. 14 game versus Philadelphia and the Friday, Dec. 20 game versus Utah, fans coming to Xcel Energy Center may bring new, unwrapped toys, games and cash which will be collected at the arena’s entrances. Personnel from the Salvation Army will distribute the donated items to needy families in the Twin Cities. ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.
