Sophie Hediger, a member of Switzerland's snowboard cross team at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, has died following an avalanche at a mountain resort, the country's skiing federation said on Tuesday. The incident occurred on Monday at the Arosa resort in Switzerland. Hediger, 26, competed at the Beijing Games in the women’s snowboard cross and the mixed team version of the same event. Hediger achieved her first two World Cup podium finishes in the 2023-24 season. Her best result was a second place in St. Moritz in January. “We are shocked and our thoughts are with Sophie’s family, to whom we offer our deepest condolences,” said Swiss-Ski CEO Walter Reusser in a statement. “(She lost her life) tragically, brutally and far too soon.”Darden Restaurants' Diversified Portfolio And Uber Delivery Partnership Offer Confidence In Overcoming Fine Dining Challenges: Analysts
COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. (AP) — For a pair of lower-level downhill events, this sure had plenty of Olympic medal-capturing and World Cup-winning ski racers. The stage belonged to Lindsey Vonn , the 40-year-old who took another step on her comeback trail Saturday with her first races in nearly six years. Vonn wasn't particularly speedy and finished in the middle of the pack on a cold but sunny day at Copper Mountain. Times and places weren't the mission, though, as much as getting used to the speed again and gaining the necessary points to compete on the World Cup circuit this season. Vonn accomplished both, finishing 24th in the first downhill race of the day and 27th in the second. She posted on social media after the FIS races that she had enough points to enter World Cup events. The timing couldn't be more perfect — the next stop on the women's circuit is Beaver Creek, Colorado, in a week. Vonn, who used to own a home in nearby Vail, hasn't committed to any sort of timetable for a World Cup return. “Today was a solid start and I had a blast being in start with my teammates again!” Vonn wrote on X . “While I’m sure people will speculate and say I’m not in top form because of the results, I disagree. This was training for me. I’m still testing equipment and getting back in the groove.” Her competition — a veritable who's who of high-profile ski racers — applauded her efforts. “I don't expect her to come back and win — just that she comes back and she has fun,” said Federica Brignone of Italy, a former overall World Cup champion and three-time Olympic medallist. “She's having fun, and she’s doing what she loves. That’s the best thing that she could do.” In the first race on a frigid morning, Vonn wound up 1.44 seconds behind the winning time of 1 minute, 5.79 seconds posted by Mirjam Puchner of Austria. In her second race through the course later in the morning, Vonn was 1.53 seconds behind Cornelia Huetter of Austria, who finished in 1:05.99. Huetter is the reigning season-long World Cup downhill champion. “It’s really nice to compare with her again, and nice to have her (racing) again,” Huetter said. “For sure, for the skiing World Cup, we have a lot of more attention. It's generally good for all racers because everyone is looking.” Also in the field were Nadia Delago of Italy, who won a bronze medal in downhill at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, and Puchner, the Olympic silver winner in super-G in Beijing. In addition, there was Marta Bassino of Italy, a winner of the super-G at the 2023 world championships, and two-time Olympic champion Michelle Gisin of Switzerland. “For me, it was really a training, but it was fun to have a World Cup race level right here,” Gisin said. “It was a crazy race.” Vonn remains a popular figure and took the time after each run to sign autographs for young fans along with posing for photos. When she left the sport, Vonn had 82 World Cup race victories — including 18 in Lake Louise, Alta. — which stood as the record for a woman and within reach of the all-time Alpine record of 86 held by Swedish standout Ingemar Stenmark. The women’s mark held by Vonn was surpassed in January 2023 by Mikaela Shiffrin, who now has 99 wins — more than any alpine ski racer in the history of the sport. Shiffrin is currently sidelined after a crash in a giant slalom event in Killington, Vermont , last weekend. Vonn’s last major race was in February 2019, when she finished third in a downhill during the world championships in Sweden. The three-time Olympic medallist left the circuit still near the top of her game. But all the broken arms and legs, concussions and torn knee ligaments took too big a toll and sent her into retirement. She had a partial knee replacement last April and felt good enough to give racing another shot. “It's very impressive to see all the passion that Lindsey still has,” Gisin said. Also racing Saturday was 45-year-old Sarah Schleper, who once competed for the United States but now represents Mexico. Schleper was the next racer behind Vonn and they got a chance to share a moment between a pair of 40-somethings still racing. “I was like, ‘Give me some tips, Lindsey,’” Schleper said. “She’s like, ‘Oh, it’s a highway tuck, the whole thing.’ Then she’s like, ‘It’s just like the good old days.’" ___ AP skiing: https://apnews.com/hub/alpine-skiing Pat Graham, The Associated PressVictors Home Solutions has been recognized as 2024 Residential Roofing Contractor of the Year DETROIT , Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 5th, 2024 , Victors Home Solutions was awarded the title of Residential Roofing Contractor of the Year at the Best of Success conference in Bonita Springs, FL.

Martinez had gone eight matches since last finding the back of the net against Venezia on November 3 but after Alessandro Bastoni opened the scoring in the 54th minute, the Argentina international struck in Sardinia. The Inter captain took his tally against Cagliari to 10 goals in as many games after 71 minutes before Hakan Calhanoglu capped an excellent night for the visitors from the penalty spot a few moments later. This moment >>> — Inter ⭐⭐ (@Inter_en) Inter’s fifth-successive league victory led to them temporarily leapfrogging Atalanta, who reclaimed top spot but saw their lead cut to a single point following a 1-1 draw at Lazio. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side were grateful for a point in the end after falling behind to Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s first-half strike, only drawing level with two minutes remaining thanks to Marco Brescianini. Lautaro Valenti’s last-gasp strike condemned rock-bottom Monza to a 10th defeat in 18 matches as Parma edged a 2-1 victory, while Genoa defeated Empoli by the same scoreline.
Master African spoken word poetry like a proST ELIZABETH, Jamaica — The Ministry of National Security is confirming that the JamaicaEye cameras closest to the location of the stabbing attack on Saturday, December 14 in Santa Cruz, St Elizabeth were fully operational at the time of the incident. The ministry further advised that footage from JamaicaEye cameras in the vicinity of the incident is available and is being utilised in the ongoing investigations by the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF). The clarification follows earlier statements from Porfolio Minister Dr Horace Chang who had noted that a significant number of cameras on the JamaicaEye surveillance network are down while responding to a question posed at a town hall meeting in the parish on Wednesday. The minister had cited maintenance as the primary issue. However, in a statement on Friday, the ministry noted that while some cameras in the Santa Cruz area are currently offline due to technical challenges arising from maintenance delays, the cameras close to the latest stabbing incident were operational at the time. The ministry further assured the public that efforts are far advanced to fully restore the systems that are down. In the meantime, the ministry said it is deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence and is reaffirming its commitment to providing the requisite resources including technology assets such as JamaicaEye, to enhance the investigative and intelligence capacity of law enforcement in their pursuit of criminal elements across the country.

Residents in Seattle, Washington, plan to stop tipping as a minimum wage hike in the Democrat-run city looms. The city’s minimum wage is supposed to go from $19.97 to $20.76 an hour on January 1, the Daily Mail reported on Friday. Tipping workers on top of the approaching hourly rate hike does not appear to be a popular idea with some residents who have said they will no longer be shelling out the extra money for workers. The Mail article continued: One user who shared a Reddit post on the wage hike, which has picked up steam in the local area, said: ‘With Seattle’s new minimum wage going into effect really soon, most food industry workers are finally reaching a level playing field. ‘As a result, I’ll no longer be tipping more than 5-10%. And I’m ONLY doing that if service is EXCEPTIONAL. It’s only fair—hard work deserves fair pay across all industries. ‘Any instance where I am ordering busing my own table, getting my own utensils, etc warrants $0. I also am not tipping at coffee shops anymore.’ Seattle’s minimum wage rate is among the highest in America, KTTH radio host Jason Rantz wrote in an opinion piece on Thursday. He noted that Seattle’s minimum wage ordinance requires the increases based on inflation. Rantz then said, “Seattle restaurant operators are panicked ahead of a minimum wage update that will now prevent tips and benefits from being deducted from hourly wages. For some Seattle restaurants, it will add about $45,000 in expenses per month that they don’t have.” Restaurant worker Brandon Nyland also spoke of the difficulties the pay raise may shove onto businesses, King 5 reported on Friday. “A lot of restaurants are going to have razor-thin, one- to three-percent profit margins. So, a lot of places are probably going to build that price increase into the menu,” he said. In 2021, Breitbart News’s economics editor John Carney noted that President Joe Biden (D) claimed raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour would force employers to pay a living wage to people working for them. However, Carney said, “the weight of economic studies say that it would have an adverse effect on employment.”

The streets of Damascus are uncharacteristically empty on Saturday night, Zaina Shahla, a 42-year-old journalist living in the centre of the Syrian capital, tells the BBC. After a "normal" morning, she said the streets were filled with people trying to stock up on supplies as reports emerged of rebel fighters heading for the city from both north and south. Now, everyone seems to have gone home - the uncertainty of the situation creating a "sense of fear" among residents. "We are afraid because we really don't know what's going to happen," Ms Shahla said. "Nobody wants to see fighting in Damascus." She added: "Everything is ambiguous and nothing is clear for anyone." Her sentiments are echoed by Rim Turkmani, director of the Syria Conflict Research Programme at the London School of Economics. Her sister in Damascus told her that shops are closing, supplies are running low and ATMs are out of cash, she said. "No one knows what's happening," Ms Turkmani told the BBC. Damascus has not seen the same degree of violence in Syria's decade-long civil war, creating a sense of stability among some of its residents, Ms Shahla said. "If any change is going to happen, it won't be easy." But reports suggest a turning tide is already sweeping through the city's suburbs as rebel fighters led by opposition group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) make sweeping territorial gains from the north of the country. An unnamed US official told the BBC's US partner, CBS News, that Damascus appears to be "falling suburb by suburb to the rebels". The rebels themselves claim to have "encircled" the city. Video footage appeared to show a statue of President Bashar al-Assad's late father, Hafez al-Assad, being torn down by protesters in the southern suburb of Jaramana. Syria's state news agency claimed "sleeper cells" were publishing clips on social media from public areas of Damascus to suggest they had taken control of them "with the aim of spreading chaos among citizens". The Syrian government meanwhile denied rumours that Assad had fled the city. Moreover, the interior minister has said there was a "very strong" military cordon around the capital. But government forces have notably failed to provide any such defence in the cities, towns and villages that have fallen to rebel factions. Rebel forces led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) have made a lightning advance over the past fortnight after launching a surprise offensive, capturing the north-western cities of Aleppo and Hama before continuing south and entering parts of the strategically important city of Homs. Their progress has sparked an uprising by allied rebels in the southern region of Daraa, who have taken control of parts of the region. The UN has said it is withdrawing "non-critical" staff from Syria amid the evolving situation. HTS has pledged to protect international organisations operating in the country. The UN envoy to Syria has called for an orderly transition of power, as well as "urgent political talks" to implement a Security Council resolution that seeks a negotiated transition between the Syrian government and opposition. Speaking in Doha on Saturday, Geir Pedersen said representatives of Iran, Russia, Turkey, the US, France, the UK, Germany and the EU had expressed their support for a diplomatic resolution. Damascus's residents have differing views about a rebel takeover, Ms Shahla said, but are bracing themselves for the possibility of armed conflict on their doorstep. Her family have remained throughout Syria's civil war, and have not considered fleeing - until now. While they are not planning on leaving yet, she said, "if things escalate in a dramatic way or a dangerous way, maybe we will think about it". Additional reporting by Jake Lapham
