TV games SEAHAWKS (6-5) AT JETS (3-8) When: Sunday, 10 a.m. Channel: Fox Line: Seahawks by 1 1/2. O/U: 41 1/2. Long flight for the Seahawks, although they’re coming off back-to-back division wins so they’re riding high. Seattle can run it and has some talented receivers. Nobody has much faith in the Jets anymore. Pick: Seahawks 24, Jets 20 STEELERS (8-3) AT BENGALS (4-7) When: Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: CBS Line: Bengals by 2 1/2. O/U: 47 1/2. Jameis Winston looked good against that Pittsburgh defense in the snow last week. This is a division game and should be close, but the Steelers find a way to rebound from a loss and come out on top. Pick: Steelers 27, Bengals 24 EAGLES (9-2) AT RAVENS (8-4) When: Sunday, 1:25 p.m. TV: CBS Line: Ravens by 3. O/U: 51 1/2. The Ravens defense is No. 1 against the run and dead last against the pass. The Eagles can kill you both ways, and Saquon Barkley is on an MVP pace. Philadelphia defense is outstanding. Pick: Eagles 28, Ravens 23 49ERS (5-6) AT BILLS (9-2) When: Sunday, 5:20 p.m. TV: NBC Line: Bills by 6 1/2. O/U: 44 1/2. The Bills are rested after off week, so they’ve gotten healthier and have had a chance to self-scout. They should be able to run it on this San Francisco defense and take some weight off Josh Allen’s shoulders. Pick: Bills 28, 49ers 20 BROWNS (3-8) AT BRONCOS (7-5) When: Monday, 5:15 p.m. TV: ESPN Line: Broncos by 5 1/2. O/U: 41 1/2. This should be a low-scoring game. Cleveland’s defense did a great job against Pittsburgh. Denver’s defense is really tough too. With the way Bo Nix has been playing, go with Denver at home. Pick: Broncos 23, Browns 18 Elsewhere CHARGERS (7-4) AT FALCONS (6-5) When: Sunday, 10 a.m. Line: Chargers by 1 1/2. O/U: 48 1/2. The Chargers are coming off a disappointing home loss to Baltimore, and their offense went flat in the second half. Still, they should be able to handle the Falcons, who have lost two in a row. Pick: Chargers 24, Falcons 21 TEXANS (7-5) AT JAGUARS (2-9) When: Sunday, 10 a.m. Line: Texans by 4 1/2. O/U: 43 1/2. The Texans aren’t playing great, and quarterback C.J. Stroud doesn’t look as good as he was last year, and part of that falls to the offensive line. Detroit just put up 52 points on the Jaguars. Pick: Texans 24, Jaguars 20 CARDINALS (6-5) AT VIKINGS (9-2) When: Sunday, 10 a.m. Line: Vikings by 3 1/2. O/U: 44 1/2. Seattle might have put a blueprint on tape of how to beat the physical Cardinals. Arizona couldn’t run it last week and Kyler Murray was under intense pressure. Minnesota has pass rushers who can hit home. Pick: Vikings 27, Cardinals 23 COLTS (5-7) AT PATRIOTS (3-9) When: Sunday, 10 a.m. Line: Colts by 2 1/2. O/U: 42 1/2. Two young quarterbacks. Anthony Richardson does damage with his legs but isn’t accurate enough. Drake Maye is playing well for the Patriots but New England is short on weapons. Pick: Colts 24, Patriots 20 TITANS (3-8) AT COMMANDERS (7-5) When: Sunday, 10 a.m. Line: Commanders by 5 1/2. O/U: 44 1/2. Titans quarterback Will Levis did a solid job for much of last week’s game. Despite losing three in a row, the Commanders have talent and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should prevail at home. Pick: Commanders 27, Titans 20 RAMS (5-6) AT SAINTS (4-7) When: Sunday, 1:05 p.m. Line: Rams by 3. O/U: 49 1/2. When he gets some time, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford can still pick apart a defense, and he’s got excellent receiving weapons. The L.A. defensive line will be a big factor in this matchup. Pick: Rams 27, Saints 23 BUCCANEERS (5-6) AT PANTHERS (3-8) When: Sunday, 1:05 p.m. Line: Buccaneers by 5 1/2. O/U: 46 1/2. The Buccaneers are getting their swag back (see Baker Mayfield’s “Tommy Cutlets” celebration). Mike Evans’ return is big for them. The Panthers have looked better lately. Pick: Buccaneers 28, Panthers 17 Sam Farmer, Los Angeles TimesBusiness wins, strategic collaborations, and renewed commitment to client partnership highlight a year of transformation PITTSBURGH , Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Net Health , a trusted source for specialized software solutions that empower restorative care providers across the continuum of care, is entering 2025 with impressive momentum driven by a year of transformative leadership.

People from across the political spectrum mourned former President Jimmy Carter upon news of his death. The Georgia Democrat and noted humanitarian’s son James E. Carter III announced that his father had passed away while surrounded by family in his birthplace of Plains, Georgia, on Sunday. He was 100 years old. His son, known as Chip Carter, wrote, “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love.” In a statement from the White House, President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden remembered Carter as a “dear friend” who changed the world. “Today, America and the world lost an extraordinary leader, statesman, and humanitarian,” it began. Remarking on Carter’s “compassion and moral clarity,” the Bidens noted how the Nobel Prize winner “worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us.” “He saved, lifted, and changed the lives of people all across the globe,” the statement went on. Calling Carter “a man of great character and courage, hope and optimism,” the Bidens also shared their admiration for the president’s 77-year marriage with his late wife, Rosalynn Carter, who passed away in November 2023. “The love shared between Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is the definition of partnership and their humble leadership is the definition of patriotism,” the president and first lady said. President-elect Donald Trump paid tribute to Carter in a post on Truth Social, where he wrote about the weight of the presidential office. “Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as President understand this is a very exclusive club, and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the Greatest Nation in History,” he shared. “The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans,” Trump went on. “For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude.” Former President Bill Clinton and wife Hillary Clinton celebrated Carter’s life in a joint statement where they gave “thanks for his long, good life.” “Guided by his faith, President Carter lived to serve others-until the very end,” it continued, noting his commitment to civil rights, protecting the environment, international diplomacy and supporting vulnerable Americans through his post-presidential work with Habitat for Humanity. “He worked tirelessly for a better, fairer world,” the Clintons’ tribute said. In his own statement, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wrote that Carter “personified the true meaning of leadership through service, through compassion, and through integrity.” Hillary's and my statement on the passing of President Jimmy Carter: pic.twitter.com/SOgqTZUdi6 “From his legacy as President, to his dedication to improving human rights across the globe, and his tireless efforts alongside his wife Rosalynn, in building a better world through Habitat for Humanity, he inspired millions with his unwavering commitment to justice and equality,” the statement read. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) honored Carter as someone who “lived a truly American dream,” serving his country “during times of tension and uncertainty, both at home and abroad.” A statement from McConnell’s office described Carter as “a devoutly religious peanut farmer from small-town Georgia” whose career in public service started when he “volunteered to serve his country in uniform.” “He found himself manning cutting-edge submarines hundreds of feet beneath the ocean,” the Kentucky Republican wrote. “He returned home and saved the family farm before feeling drawn to a different sort of public service. And less than 15 years after his first campaign for the state Senate, his fellow Americans elected him leader of the free world.” McConnell went on to say that despite the tumult of Carter’s 1977 to 1981 term in the Oval Office, “his calm spirit and deep faith seemed unshakeable.” Remarking on Carter’s deep faith, he added how “Jimmy Carter served as our commander-in-chief for four years, but he served as the beloved, unassuming Sunday school teacher at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia for forty. And his humble devotion leaves us little doubt which of those two important roles he prized the most.” Sad to learn about the passing of President Jimmy Carter. I join all Americans in saluting President Carter’s lifetime of service—first as a naval officer, then as a senator in the Georgia legislature, then as Governor of Georgia, and, finally, as President of the United States.... House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) paid tribute to the former president in a post on X, where he wrote that he was “sad to learn” of Carter’s death. “I join all Americans in saluting President Carter’s lifetime of service — first as a naval officer, then as a senator in the Georgia legislature, then as Governor of Georgia, and, finally, as President of the United States,” his post continued, adding how Carter “set the standard for post-presidential service through his work with Habitat for Humanity.” At 100, Carter was the longest-living U.S. president in the nation’s history. Born in 1924, he witnessed the tenure of 17 other presidents throughout his lifetime. On Jan. 20, Donald Trump will reclaim the most powerful seat in our nation's government.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Aden Holloway made eight 3-pointers and scored 26 points off the bench, and No. 5 Alabama overwhelmed South Dakota State with 19 made 3-pointers in a 105-82 victory on Sunday. Labaron Philon added 21 points, six assists and two steals for Alabama (11-2), while Mark Sears had 20 points and five assists. Grant Nelson scored 17 points. Oscar Cluff scored 21 points and Isaac Lindsey had 11 for South Dakota State (9-6).

Alabama: Holloway’s 8-for-19 performance was a welcome sight after making four of his 15 attempts in his previous three games. Holloway, in his first season at Alabama after transferring from Auburn, saw his scoring average dip under 9 points per game before 13 points in the previous game and 26 on Sunday. Sears and Holloway hit 3-pointers less than 30 seconds apart just past the midway point of the first half, completing a 17-0 run and putting Alabama up by 23 points. The Jackrabbits never got the deficit lower than 14 after that. Alabama committed six turnovers, after having committed at least 14 in six of its last seven games. Alabama begins Southeastern Conference play at home against Oklahoma on Saturday; South Dakota State beings Summit League play on Thursday at home against Denver.

Andrea Arnold, a reporter for the local newspaper saw the deer in McBride, British Columbia, while driving home on Sunday, Nov. 24. In an article for the news outlet, she recalled seeing the wild animal in a black long-sleeved top with bright yellow, high-visibility straps as it crossed the road and went up a hill. "I took the exit onto the frontage road and was able to snap two photos of it before it headed into the woods around the Dominion Creek trail area," she wrote. Related: Arnold then shared the photos on Facebook, prompting concerned citizens from McBride to weigh in. The social media post also connected Arnold to another person, Joe Rich, who had seen the deer and taken a photo. Courtesy of Rocky Mountain Goat News "I was only about 50 feet from the deer," Rich told Arnold, noting that the attire looked like a "zipper rain jacket type of coat" that was "definitely zipped up." In a recent interview with , Eamon McArthur, a British Columbia Conservation Officer Service officer, said the clothed deer sightings are unique. Related: "I've had deer with Christmas lights in their antlers but never anything like this," he said. McArthur said that the high-visibility jacket is unlikely to harm the deer, and he hopes that if the deer "gets caught on anything, it will rip off." Courtesy of Rocky Mountain Goat News He added that people should not approach wild deer or put clothes on them. "I didn't think I'd have to specify that one," he said, adding that deer are typically "pretty quick." In a separate interview with , McArthur encouraged the public to contact the conservation office if they spot the deer. He explained that officials plan to sedate the deer if it is located so that they can safely remove the jacket.
