NoneThe Brazilian shot-stopper has been sidelined for several weeks, first with a thigh issue and , missing ten games in all competitions. Despite these challenges, the Reds have displayed remarkable resilience under manager Arne Slot, sitting atop the Premier League and leading their Champions League group. In Alisson’s absence, Caoimhin Kelleher has performed admirably, delivering key saves to help Liverpool maintain their strong form, to help the Reds win 2-0. However, Slot has consistently emphasised the unique qualities that make Alisson irreplaceable. Liverpool boost: Timely return of Alisson Becker Alisson’s availability comes as Liverpool grapple with a string of injuries. Defenders Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley, and Kostas Tsimikas are ruled out until Christmas, while Federico Chiesa is still recovering from illness. Forward Diogo Jota has returned to training but is not yet ready for match action, adding further strain to the squad. Since joining Liverpool in 2018 for a then-record fee, Alisson has been a cornerstone of the team’s success, contributing to Premier League and Champions League victories. His commanding presence, shot-stopping prowess, and ability to organise the defence have earned him a reputation as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. This season, the 32-year-old has already demonstrated his value, keeping five clean sheets in just eight appearances across all competitions despite limited game time. Liverpool face a packed fixture schedule, with domestic and European ambitions driving their campaign. Alisson’s return not only solidifies their defensive structure but also provides a morale boost for the squad. The Reds will hope to capitalize on their momentum as they take on Girona, aiming to extend their unbeaten run in Europe.Citigroup Inc. boosted its position in shares of Penske Automotive Group, Inc.

New airport technology will shame passengers from getting ahead of themselvesNEW YORK — Shohei Ohtani won his third Most Valuable Player Award and first in the National League, and Aaron Judge earned his second American League honor on Thursday. Ohtani was a unanimous MVP for the third time, receiving all 30 first-place votes and 420 points in voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor was second with 263 points and Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte third with 229. Judge was a unanimous pick for the first time. Kansas City shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. got all 30 second-place votes for 270 points, and Yankees outfielder Juan Soto was third with 21 third-place votes and 229 points. Ohtani was unanimously voted the AL MVP in 2021 and 2023 as a two-way star for the Los Angeles Angels and finished second to Judge in 2022 voting. He didn't pitch in 2024 following elbow surgery and signed a record $700 million, 10-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers last December. Ohtani joined Frank Robinson for Cincinnati in 1961 and Baltimore in 1966 as the only players to win the MVP award in both leagues. He was the first player to twice become an unanimous MVP. He had combined with Atlanta outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. in 2023 for the first year both MVPs were unanimous. Ohtani hit .310, stole 59 bases and led the NL with 54 homers and 130 RBIs exclusively as a designated hitter, becoming the first player with 50 or more homers and 50 or more stolen bases in a season. He helped the Dodgers to the World Series title, playing the final three games with a torn labrum in his left shoulder. "The ultimate goal from the beginning was to win a World Series, which we are able to accomplish," he said through a translator. "The next goal is for me to do it again and so right now I'm in the middle of rehab and working out and getting stronger." When Ohtani returns to the mound, could he win MVP and the Cy Young Award in the same year? "That would obviously be great, but right now my focus is just to get to get back healthy, come back stronger, get back on the mound and show everybody what I can do," Ohtani said. Ohtani became the first primary DH to win an MVP in a season that started with the revelation his longtime interpreter and friend, Ippei Mizuhara, had stolen nearly $17 million from the star to fund gambling. Ohtani is the 12th player with three or more MVPs, joining Barry Bonds (seven) and Jimmie Foxx, Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial, Roy Campanella, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Mike Schmidt, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols and Mike Trout (three each). Balloting was conducted before the postseason. Judge led the major leagues with 58 homers, 144 RBIs and 133 walks while hitting .322. Witt topped the big leagues with a .332 average, hitting 32 homers with 31 stolen bases and 109 RBIs. Soto batted .288 with 41 homers and 109 RBIs. When Judge won his first MVP award in 2022, he received 28 first-place votes while Ohtani got the other two. Judge had discussed the MVP award with Philadelphia's Bryce Harper, the NL winner in 2015 and '21. "I was telling him, `Man, I'm going to try to catch up to you with these MVPs here, man,'" Judge recalled. "He'd say, hopefully, he could stay a couple ahead of me, which I think he'll do." When Judge won his first MVP award in 2022, he received 28 first-place votes while Ohtani got the other two. He is the Yankees' 22nd MVP winner, four more than any other team. Judge was hitting .207 with six homers and 18 RBIs through April, then batted .352 with 52 homers and 126 RBIs in 127 games. "March and April were not my friend this year." Judge said. "Just keep putting in the work and things are going to change. You can't mope. You can't feel sorry for yourself. Especially in New York, nobody's going to feel sorry for you. So you just got to go out there and put up the numbers?" ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The St. Petersburg City Council reversed course Thursday on whether to spend more than $23 million to repair the hurricane-shredded roof of the Tampa Bay Rays' ballpark, initially voting narrowly for approval and hours later changing course. The reversal on fixing Tropicana Field came after the council voted to delay consideration of revenue bonds for a proposed new $1.3 billion Rays ballpark. Just two days before, the Pinellas County Commission postponed a vote on its share of the new stadium bonds, leaving that project in limbo. “This is a sad place. I'm really disappointed,” council chair Deborah Figg-Sanders said. “We won’t get there if we keep finding ways we can’t.” The Rays say the lack of progress puts the new stadium plan and the future of Tropicana Field in jeopardy. “I can't say I'm confident about anything,” Rays co-president Brian Auld told the council members. The Trop's translucent fiberglass roof was ripped to pieces on Oct. 9 when Hurricane Milton swept ashore just south of Tampa Bay. There was also significant water damage inside the ballpark, with a city estimate of the total repair costs pegged at $55.7 million. The extensive repairs cannot be finished before the 2026 season, city documents show. The Rays made a deal with the Yankees to play next season at 11,000-seat Steinbrenner Field, New York's spring training home across the bay in Tampa. The initial vote Thursday was to get moving on the roof portion of the repair. Once that's done, crews could begin working on laying down a new baseball field, fixing damaged seating and office areas and a variety of electronic systems — which would require another vote to approve money for the remaining restoration. The subsequent vote reversing funding for the roof repair essentially means the city and Rays must work on an alternative in the coming weeks so that Tropicana Field can possibly be ready for the 2026 season. The city is legally obligated to fix the roof. BRIEFLY PIRATES: Pittsburgh hired Matt Hague as its hitting coach, bringing him back to the team that drafted him in 2008. Hague replaces Andy Haines, who was fired after Pittsburgh finished in the bottom 10 in the majors in every significant statistical category last season, including runs (24th) and home runs (25th), while also striking out a club-record 1,504 times, second-most in the National League behind Colorado. The 39-year-old Hague spent last season as an assistant hitting coach with the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Gage County Board of Supervisors voted to not approve the final contract offer from the Fraternal Order of Police union representing Gage County Sheriff's Office employees at its last meeting of the year Tuesday at the Gage County Courthouse. Meeting a day early because of the Christmas holiday, the supervisors discussed the contract in closed session for more than an hour before voting 5-0 to not approve it (Supervisors Terry Jurgens and Dave Swavely were not at the meeting). The board and the FOP have been discussing the contract for months; the previous agreement ran from April 2023 to June 2024. "The toughest thing I'm looking at is we've run very lean as a county," Erich Tiemann, chairman of the board, said. "Law enforcement, corrections, they've seen near 20% increase last year. In this agreement, they're asking for another 20%. Most people aren't seeing 20% increases in their wages. ..." People are also reading...

"I will say the Law Enforcement Committee ... have worked on this incredibly hard," Tiemann added. "They've gone through, tried to come to agreements, and I think have gotten very close with the FOP at times. ... That gap has narrowed quite a bit. And I think that would be everyone's intention to try to get that to narrow a little bit more so that we don't end up going to a CIR (Commission of Industrial Relations) situation. ... We're still in that negotiating phase, I feel like." One duty of the CIR is to establish wages based on what it considers comparable entities when parties are at an impasse in negotiations. "We're not just looking at what the pay itself or the variable," said Supervisor Elizabeth Haxby. "We also have to look at what our budget is. You know, in the end, ... we either have to increase in our tax asking, or it's 'What are we going to cut out of our budget to pay for that?'" Instead the board will prepare its own final offer for the FOP. The board next meets on Jan. 8. "This board intends to have a last and best final offer that will be offered to the FOP," said Supervisor Gary Lytle, who like Haxby is a member of the Law Enforcement Committee. Also at Tuesday's meeting: * Haxby told the board that the $500,000 county got from the state's $4 million County Bridge Match Program for bridges on Chestnut and 82nd roads will fund more than 50% of the projects. * Margaret Haith of Beatrice spoke about the need to update the county's zoning regulations during the public comment period. Tiemann informed the board that Lisa Wiegand, the planning and zoning administrator, is contacting consultants about doing that. Reach the writer at rschlotterbeck@beatricedailysun.com .

The Detroit Lions will play without two high draft picks in rookie cornerbacks Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. while possibly getting back veteran Emmanuel Moseley against the host Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Arnold was downgraded Saturday from questionable to out because of a groin injury. He was limited at practice on Thursday and participated in a full practice on Friday. The Lions drafted Arnold with the 24th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Alabama. Arnold, 21, has started all 10 games and has 38 tackles and six passes defended. Rakestraw (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve after not practicing all week. He already had been ruled out for Sunday's game. Detroit picked Rakestraw in the second round (61st overall) out of Missouri. He has played in eight games and has six tackles. Rakestraw, 22, has played on 46 defensive snaps (8 percent) and 95 special teams snaps (42 percent). Moseley had full practice sessions all week and was activated from injured reserve on Saturday but was listed as questionable for Sunday. The 28-year-old is in his second season with Detroit and appeared in one game last season before going on IR in October 2023. He was placed on IR on Aug. 27 with a designation to return. Moseley played from 2018-22 for the San Francisco 49ers and had 162 tackles, four interceptions -- one returned for a touchdown -- and 33 passes defensed in 46 games (33 starts). Detroit elevated linebacker David Long on Saturday for game day. Long, 28, signed with the practice squad on Tuesday after the Miami Dolphins released him on Nov. 13. He had started six of eight games for the Dolphins this season and had 38 tackles. In other Lions news, the NFL fined wide receiver Jameson Williams $19,697 for unsportsmanlike conduct for making an obscene gesture during a touchdown celebration in last Sunday's 52-6 home win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the NFL Network reported Saturday. Williams, 23, scored on a 65-yard pass from Jared Goff with 12:55 remaining in the third quarter. --Field Level MediaGoogle announces quantum computing chip breakthroughOfficers were called to an address on Greenland Quay, Surrey Quays, at about 3pm on Friday after reports that a woman had been stabbed, the Metropolitan Police said. The London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance also attended, and the woman was taken to hospital where she later died. A 61-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody. Detective Chief Inspector Kate Blackburn, who is leading the investigation, said: “We received multiple calls from members of the public close to the scene with concerns for the victim yesterday afternoon. “Officers, together with the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance, responded quickly but, sadly, the woman in her 60s died in hospital yesterday evening. “Our specialist crime command are continuing inquiries today and, at this stage, we believe that this was an isolated incident with the man and woman known to each other.” A police cordon remained in place at the scene on Saturday evening, and forensic officers were still at the waterfront property.
