A_177 (6,500).PITTSBURGH (AP) — Technically, the standings still show the Pittsburgh Steelers atop the AFC North. It just doesn’t exactly feel that way at the moment. While the Steelers still have everything in front of them even after a 34-17 loss in Baltimore on Saturday in which a pair of Russell Wilson turnovers and a battered defense starting to show signs of wear allowed the Ravens to pull away, the grasp they had on the division two weeks ago is now far more tenuous. There were no excuses offered afterward. Yet there’s also no time to pout either. Not with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs visiting Acrisure Stadium on Christmas Day. “The one thing I’m not going to do is keep my head down,” Wilson said shortly after a fourth-quarter pick-6 allowed Baltimore to pull away. “I know for us, we got so much great confidence in who we are and what we can do and how we’re going to respond.” If Pittsburgh wants the home playoff game that capturing a division title for the first time since 2020 would provide, it doesn’t really have a choice. To do it, the Steelers will likely have to beat the two-time defending Super Bowl champions on three days’ rest and then the Bengals in the regular-season finale, not exactly ideal opponents for an injury-marred defense that has given up more than 400 yards in consecutive weeks for the first time since the first three games of the 2019 season. RELATED COVERAGE Jalen Hurts leaves the Eagles’ game at the Commanders and is being evaluated for a concussion Josh Jacobs re-emerging as one of the NFL’s elite RBs again in his first season with Packers Chiefs offense hitting its stride with return of wide receiver Marquise Brown from injury Beating Philadelphia and Baltimore on the road even in the best of times is a tough ask. The Steelers came up empty twice in six days, and while Wilson’s turnovers didn’t help, Pittsburgh’s inability to match up with either team in the trenches could be a far bigger problem going forward if it can’t find a way to regain the physicality it showed earlier this season. True, the Ravens and Eagles have the two best running games in the league led by backs who are putting together Hall of Fame resumes. Still, every team the Steelers figure to face in the postseason will almost certainly try to follow the blueprint Philadelphia and Baltimore used so effectively. Pittsburgh’s truncated schedule — the visit by the Chiefs will be its third game in 11 days — means the tackling issues that have popped up of late will have to be addressed more in theory than in practice. It’s a less-than-ideal situation. Yet despite the step or two back recently, the Steelers believe that everything they want to do this season is still in front of them. That’s certainly true. Wilson — who knows a thing or two about winning this time of year — remains upbeat. “We can’t let a tough game like this take us into a negative state of mind because there’s a lot more to play for and a lot more we’re searching for, and we can still win the (AFC) North,” he said. “There’s still a lot of opportunity there, too, as well. And so we just got to buckle down and get back to work.” What’s working Being disruptive in the red zone. Minkah Fitzpatrick’s fourth-quarter pick of Lamar Jackson — his first in 26 games — was the fifth takeaway by the Steelers inside their 20 this season, tied for second most in the NFL. What needs help Just about everything else in the red zone. The Steelers allowed Baltimore to score touchdowns on its first three drives that reached the Pittsburgh 20. The other two ended with Fitzpatrick’s interception and a chip-shot field goal by Justin Tucker in the final minutes. Two short touchdown throws from Jackson to tight ends Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews bothered Steelers coach Mike Tomlin the most. “It is just too late in the year to have guys running open like that, to be quite honest with you,” Tomlin said. “So we’ve got some work to do this week and try to shore some of that up.” Stock up Calvin Austin III is the only wide receiver who seems capable of being a difference-maker with George Pickens out of the lineup. The 5-foot-9 Austin has nine receptions for 130 yards over the past two games, and while Wilson’s fourth down heave to Austin at the goal line in the third quarter fell incomplete, it also symbolized the faith Wilson has in a highly motivated player who thrives on being underestimated. Stock down Complementary football. The Steelers surged to the top of the division by having a team that thrived in all three phases. That hasn’t happened of late. The Ravens turned Wilson’s fumble into a 96-yard touchdown drive. Fitzpatrick’s interception appeared to give the Steelers momentum only to have Wilson give it right back with a poor throw that Marlon Humphrey turned into the clinching score. Injuries Pickens could return from the hamstring injury that has forced him to miss the past three games. Safety DeShon Elliott (hamstring), defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi (groin), cornerback Donte Jackson (back) could also play after sitting out against Baltimore. The news isn’t as positive for starting cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (knee) and wide receiver Ben Skowronek (hip), both of whom left against the Ravens and did not return. Key number 39 — field goals this season by Chris Boswell, five short of the NFL record set by David Akers with San Francisco in 2011. Next steps Try to heal up quickly and beat Mahomes for the first time. The Kansas City star is 3-0 against the Steelers with 14 touchdowns and zero interceptions. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
Amazon and Starbucks workers are on strike. Trump might have something to do with it Amazon delivery drivers and Starbucks baristas are on strike in a handful of U.S. cities as they seek to exert pressure on the two major companies to recognize them as unionized employees or to meet demands for an inaugural labor contract. Strikes during busy periods like the holidays can help unions exercise leverage during negotiations or garner support from sympathetic consumers. One expert says he thinks workers at both companies are “desperate” to make progress before President-elect Donald Trump can appoint a Republican majority to the National Labor Relations Board. Workers at Starbucks, Amazon and some other prominent consumer brands are fighting for their first contracts after several locations voted to unionize. Bluesky finds with growth comes growing pains — and bots Bluesky has seen its user base soar since the U.S. presidential election, boosted by people seeking refuge from Elon Musk’s X, or wanting an alternative to Meta’s Threads and its algorithms. The platform grew out of the company then known as Twitter and was eventually intended to replace it. While this is still very much a pie in the sky, Bluesky’s growth trajectory could make it a serious competitor to other social platforms. With growth, though, comes growing pains. It’s not just human users who’ve been flocking to Bluesky but also bots, including those designed to create partisan division or direct users to junk websites. Farmers are still reeling months after Hurricane Helene ravaged crops across the South LYONS, Ga. (AP) — Farmers in Georgia are still reeling more than two months after Hurricane Helene blew away cotton, destroyed ripened squash and cucumbers and uprooted pecan trees and timber. Agribusinesses in other Southern states saw costly damage as well. The University of Georgia estimates the September storm inflicted $5.5 billion in direct losses and indirect costs in Georgia alone. In rural Toombs County, Chris Hopkins just finished harvesting his ravaged cotton crop and figures he lost half of it, costing him about $430,000. Poultry grower Jeffrey Pridgen in Georgia's Coffee County had four of his 12 chicken houses destroyed and others badly damaged. Farmers say more government disaster assistance is needed. Ex-OpenAI engineer who raised legal concerns about the technology he helped build has died Suchir Balaji, a former OpenAI engineer and whistleblower who helped train the artificial intelligence systems behind ChatGPT and later said he believed those practices violated copyright law, has died, according to his parents and San Francisco officials. He was 26. He was well-regarded by colleagues at the San Francisco company, where a co-founder this week called him one of OpenAI’s strongest contributors who was essential to developing some of its products. But he grew disillusioned with the company and told The Associated Press this fall he would “try to testify” in copyright infringement cases against it. Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge shows price pressures eased last month WASHINGTON (AP) — An inflation gauge that is closely watched by the Federal Reserve barely rose last month in a sign that price pressures cooled after two months of sharp gains. Prices rose just 0.1% from October to November. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, prices also ticked up just 0.1%, after two months of outsize 0.3% gains. The milder inflation figures arrived two days after Federal Reserve officials, led by Chair Jerome Powell, rocked financial markets by revealing that they now expect to cut their key interest rate just two times in 2025, down from four in their previous estimate. Albania to close TikTok for a year blaming it for promoting violence among children TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Albania’s prime minister says the government will shut down video service TikTok for one year, blaming it for inciting violence and bullying, especially among children. Albanian authorities held 1,300 meetings with teachers and parents following the stabbing death of a teenager in mid-November by another teenager following a quarrel that started on TikTok. Prime Minister Edi Rama, speaking at a meeting with teachers and parents, said TikTok “would be fully closed for all. ... There will be no TikTok in the Republic of Albania.” Rama says the ban will begin sometime next year. Albanian children comprise the largest group of TikTok users in the country, according to domestic researchers. Stock market today: Wall Street rises to turn a dismal week into just a bad one NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose to turn what would have been one of the market’s worst weeks of the year into just a pretty bad one. The S&P 500 rallied 1.1% Friday to shave its loss for the week down to 2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped nearly 500 points, and the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. A report said a measure of inflation the Federal Reserve likes to use was slightly lower last month than expected. It’s an encouraging signal after the Fed shocked markets Wednesday by saying worries about inflation could keep it from cutting interest rates in 2025 as much as earlier thought. Starbucks workers begin strikes that could spread to hundreds of US stores by Christmas Eve Workers at U.S. Starbucks stores have begun a five-day strike to protest a lack of progress in contract negotiations with the company. The strikes began in Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle and could spread to hundreds of stores across the country by Christmas Eve. Workers at 535 of the 10,000 company-owned Starbucks stores in the U.S. have voted to unionize. The Starbucks Workers United union accuses the Seattle-based coffeehouse chain of failing to honor a commitment made in February to reach a labor agreement this year. Starbucks says the union prematurely left the bargaining table this week. It said Friday there's been no significant impact to store operations. It's beginning to look like another record for holiday travel Drivers and airline passengers without reindeer and sleighs better make a dash for it: it’s beginning to look like another record for holiday travel in the U.S. The auto club AAA predicts that more than 119 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home between Saturday and New Year’s Day. The two weekends on either side of Christmas are tempting a lot of people to head out earlier. U.S. airlines expect to have their busiest days to be Friday and Sunday this week and next Thursday, Friday and Sunday. A government shutdown that could start as soon as Saturday was not expected to immediately affect flights and airport operations. Amazon workers are striking at multiple facilities. Here's what you should know Amazon workers affiliated with the Teamsters union are on strike for a second day at seven of the company’s delivery hubs just days before Christmas. At midnight on Saturday, the Teamsters say workers at a prominent unionized warehouse in New York will also join. The union has not indicated how many employees were participating in the walkout or when it will end. The Teamsters say the workers were continuing their strike on Friday after Amazon ignored a Sunday deadline the union had set for contract negotiations. The company says it doesn’t expect the strikes taking place in Southern California, San Francisco, New York City, Atlanta, and Skokie, Illinois, to impact holiday shipments.

One of the most practical and innovative additions to the smart home ecosystem is the smart garage door opener. As people continue to prioritize convenience, security, and energy efficiency, the future of smart garage doors in Sacramento looks increasingly promising. This article explores the evolution of smart garage doors, the benefits they offer, the technological innovations shaping their future, and how they are transforming homes in Sacramento. What Are Smart Garage Doors? A smart garage door is an advanced, automated system that can be controlled remotely through smartphones, tablets, or voice commands, allowing homeowners to open, close, or monitor the door from virtually anywhere. These systems typically integrate with other smart home devices, such as security cameras, smart lighting, and voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, offering a seamless experience. Unlike traditional garage doors that require manual operation or remote control devices, smart garage doors use connected technology to provide an enhanced user experience. Through specialized apps, users can receive real-time alerts, set schedules, and even grant access to guests without needing to be physically present. Key Features and Benefits of Smart Garage Doors 1. Convenience and Remote Control One of the primary advantages of smart garage doors is the ability to control your garage door remotely. Whether you’re coming home from work, returning from a vacation, or simply want to check if the door is closed, you can do so with just a tap on your smartphone. This convenience eliminates the need to worry about leaving the door open or getting out of your car in inclement weather to open or close the garage. For Sacramento residents, where fluctuating temperatures can make outdoor tasks inconvenient, the ability to open and close the garage door from the comfort of your home or vehicle adds a level of ease that enhances day-to-day life. 2. Enhanced Security Features Security is a top priority for homeowners, and smart garage doors take security to the next level. These systems often come with built-in security features such as automatic closing, alerts when the door is left open for too long, and the ability to lock the door remotely. Additionally, many smart garage doors are compatible with home security systems, enabling integration with cameras, motion sensors, and other monitoring devices. In a city like Sacramento, where property theft can be a concern, these security features offer peace of mind. Homeowners can monitor and control their garage doors anytime, ensuring their home and belongings are safe from intruders. 3. Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings Incorporating a smart garage door into a home can contribute to energy efficiency. Some advanced systems feature weather-resistant seals, insulation, and energy-efficient materials that help regulate the temperature inside the garage. By preventing heat loss or drafts, these smart doors can reduce the need for additional heating or cooling, which can translate into cost savings over time. For residents of Sacramento, a region that experiences both hot summers and cool winters, these energy-saving features can be especially valuable in reducing heating and cooling costs while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. 4. Integration with Other Smart Home Devices Smart garage doors can seamlessly integrate with other home automation systems, offering a unified control experience. For instance, your garage door can be connected to smart lights, so the lights turn on when the garage door opens. Similarly, it can be synced with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit, allowing homeowners to control the door with simple voice commands. This integration is especially beneficial for busy Sacramento residents who want a home that functions smoothly and efficiently. By connecting the garage door opener to other smart devices, users can automate tasks like lighting or security, improving overall convenience. 5. Increased Property Value Adding a smart garage door to your home can increase its resale value. Homebuyers are increasingly looking for properties with modern, tech-savvy features, and smart home devices are high on the list. In fact, homes with smart features are often seen as more appealing and offer a competitive edge in the market. Smart garage doors, as part of a larger smart home ecosystem, can make a property stand out to prospective buyers, making it a wise investment for Sacramento homeowners looking to enhance their property value. Innovations Shaping the Future of Smart Garage Doors The future of smart garage doors in Sacramento is not just about convenience and security. Technological advancements are paving the way for new and improved features that will revolutionize how homeowners interact with their garage doors. Let’s explore some of the most notable innovations that are shaping the future of smart garage doors: 1. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning As AI and machine learning technologies continue to evolve, smart garage doors are becoming increasingly intelligent. Future systems will be able to learn and adapt to users’ behaviors. For example, a smart garage door could recognize when you typically arrive home and automatically open without needing any manual input. Over time, these systems will improve their ability to predict your actions and make smarter decisions based on usage patterns. Sacramento homeowners can look forward to AI-powered smart doors that offer even more automation, reducing the need for constant interaction. 2. Biometric Access Biometric technology, such as fingerprint recognition or facial recognition, is becoming more prevalent in smart home devices. In the future, smart garage doors could feature biometric access, allowing homeowners to open the garage door with their face or fingerprint. This would provide an additional layer of security and convenience, especially for families with multiple users who need access to the garage. In Sacramento, where convenience and security are a priority, biometric access to garage doors could become a game-changer for homeowners. 3. Advanced Sensors and Safety Features Another trend on the horizon is the integration of more advanced sensors into smart garage doors. Future systems will likely feature sensors that can detect objects in the garage door’s path, preventing accidents or damage to vehicles, pets, or people. Additionally, these sensors could be used to monitor the garage for any unusual activity, such as unauthorized access attempts or intruders. These sensors will enhance safety for families and pets in Sacramento, offering greater peace of mind. 4. Voice Control and Integration with Smart Assistants Voice control is rapidly gaining popularity in the smart home space, and smart garage doors are no exception. With voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri, homeowners will be able to control their garage doors using only their voice. As voice recognition technology improves, users will be able to issue commands such as “Open the garage door” or “Close the garage door” while keeping their hands free to do other tasks. For Sacramento homeowners, voice-controlled garage doors will bring even more convenience to their daily routines. 5. Cloud Integration and Remote Monitoring The future of smart garage doors will likely see more integration with cloud-based systems. Homeowners will be able to monitor their garage doors from anywhere, whether they are at work, on vacation, or across the city. By using a smartphone app or a web interface, users can check the status of their garage door, open or close it, and receive notifications about its activity. This cloud-based integration will make it even easier for Sacramento residents to manage their garage doors remotely and securely. FAQs 1. Are smart garage doors secure? Yes, smart garage doors come with advanced security features, including encryption, password protection, and remote monitoring. Additionally, many systems can be integrated with home security cameras for enhanced protection. 2. Can I open my smart garage door from anywhere? Yes, as long as you have an internet connection, you can open, close, and monitor your smart garage door remotely through a smartphone app or web interface. 3. Do smart garage doors work with other smart home devices? Yes, many smart garage doors are compatible with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri, as well as other smart home devices, such as security cameras and smart lighting. 4. Are smart garage doors energy-efficient? Many smart garage doors come with features that help improve energy efficiency, such as insulation and weather-resistant seals, which can help regulate temperature in the garage. 5.

Workhorse Group Inc. stock underperforms Tuesday when compared to competitorsBy MICHAEL R. SISAK, Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — They have seen him smiling on a hostel security camera, but don’t know his name. They found the backpack he discarded while fleeing, but don’t know where he’s gone. As the search for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson ’s killer goes on, investigators are reckoning with a tantalizing dichotomy: They have troves of evidence, but the shooter remains an enigma. Police don’t know who he is, where he is, or why he did it, though they are confident it was a targeted attack instead of a random act. “The net is tightening,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Saturday. Hours after he spoke, police divers were seen searching a pond in Central Park, where the killer fled after the shooting. Officers have been scouring the park for days for any possible clues and found his bag there Friday. Late Saturday, police released two additional photos of the suspected shooter that appeared to be from a camera mounted inside a taxi. The first shows him outside the vehicle and the second shows him looking through the partition between the back seat and the front of the cab. In both, his face is partially obscured by a blue, medical-style mask. Retracing the gunman’s steps using surveillance video, police say, it appears he left the city by bus soon after the shooting Wednesday morning outside the New York Hilton Midtown. He was seen on video at an uptown bus station about 45 minutes later, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. With the high-profile search expanding across state lines, the FBI announced late Friday that it was offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, adding to a reward of up to $10,000 that the NYPD has offered. Police say they believe the suspect acted alone. Police provided no updates on the hunt Saturday, but investigators are urging patience — even with a killer on the loose. Hundreds of detectives are combing through video recordings and social media, vetting tips from the public and interviewing people who might have information, including Thompson’s family and coworkers and the shooter’s randomly assigned roommates at the Manhattan hostel where he stayed. “This isn’t ‘Blue Bloods.’ We’re not going to solve this in 60 minutes,” Kenny told reporters Friday. “We’re painstakingly going through every bit of evidence that we can come across.” The shooter paid cash at the hostel, presented what police believe was a fake ID and is believed to have paid cash for taxi rides and other transactions. He didn’t speak to others at the hostel and almost always kept his face covered with a mask, only lowering it while eating. But investigators caught a break when they came across security camera images of an unguarded moment in which he briefly showed his face soon after arriving in New York on Nov. 24. Police distributed the images to news outlets and on social media but so far haven’t been able to ID him using facial recognition — possibly because of the angle of the images or limitations on how the NYPD is allowed to use that technology, Kenny said. On Friday evening, investigators found a backpack in Central Park that had been worn by the gunman, police said. They didn’t immediately reveal what, if anything, it contained but said it would be tested and analyzed. Another potential clue, a fingerprint on an item he purchased at a Starbucks minutes before the shooting, has so far proven useless for identifying him, Kenny said. Aided by surveillance cameras on nearly every building and block, police have been able to retrace the shooter’s movements. They know he ambushed Thompson at 6:44 a.m. as the executive arrived at the Hilton for his company’s annual investor conference, using a 9 mm pistol that resembled the guns farmers use to put down animals without causing a loud noise. They know ammunition found near Thompson’s body bore the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose,” mimicking a phrase used by insurance industry critics. Kenny said the fact that the shooter knew UnitedHealthcare group was holding a conference at the hotel and what route Thompson might take to get there suggested that he could possibly be a disgruntled employee or client. Investigators know from surveillance video that the shooter fled into Central Park on a bicycle and ditched it around 7 a.m. near 85th Street. He then walked a couple blocks and got into a taxi, arriving at 7:30 a.m. at the George Washington Bridge Bus Station, which is near the northern tip of Manhattan and offers commuter service to New Jersey and Greyhound routes to Philadelphia, Boston and Washington. Investigators don’t know what happened next. They are searching through more surveillance video but have yet to locate video of the shooter getting on a bus or exiting the station. “We have reason to believe that the person in question has left New York City,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told CNN on Friday. Police have determined from video that the gunman was in the city for 10 days before the shooting. He arrived at Manhattan’s main bus terminal on a Greyhound bus that originated in Atlanta, though it’s not clear whether he embarked there or at one of about a half-dozen stops along the route. Immediately after that, he took a cab to the vicinity of the Hilton and was there for about a half hour, Kenny said. At around 11 p.m. on the night he arrived, he went by taxi to the HI New York City Hostel. It was there, while speaking with an employee in the lobby, that he briefly pulled down the mask and smiled, giving investigators the brief glimpse they are now relying on to identify and capture a killer. Associated Press writers Michael Balsamo in Washington, Jake Offenhartz, Cedar Attanasio and Karen Matthews in New York, John Seewer in Toledo, Ohio, and Jeff Martin in Atlanta contributed. Be civil. Be kind.
