On Monday, Apple’s list of finalists for its coveted “iPhone App of the Year” award once again reveals how the iPhone maker is downplaying the impact of AI technology on the mobile app ecosystem. As it did last year, Apple’s 2024 list of top iPhone finalists favors more traditional iOS apps, including those that help iPhone users perform specific tasks like recording professional video ( Kino ), tailoring their running plans ( Runna ), or organizing their travels ( Tripsy ). Other AI apps like ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and those that create AI photos or videos were not nominated for iPhone App of the Year. Given the popularity of ChatGPT, also now an Apple partner for its Siri improvements, it’s surprising to find the app has not earned any official year-end accolades from Apple’s App Store editorial team, despite its adoption of clever new features in 2024, like an Advanced Voice Mode for chatting with the AI virtual assistant and a web search feature that challenges Google . While ChatGPT is regularly featured within the App Store and Google Play’s editorial suggestions, both Apple and Google last year avoided nominating ChatGPT as an overall winner, despite the app becoming the fastest-growing consumer application in history in early 2023 when it reached 100 million users shortly after its launch. This year, Google dubbed party-planning app Partifu l its app of the year. Despite ChatGPT’s snub, a small number of AI-powered apps made appearances on Apple’s other 2024 finalist lists, like those for the iPad and Mac App of the Year. But among Apple’s list of 45 finalists across various categories in apps and games, AI-powered apps were mentioned only a few times. Moises , an app that offers AI tools for practicing music, was nominated alongside kids app Bluey: Let’s Play and animation app Procreate Dreams for iPad App of the Year. Adobe Lightroom , which now includes AI-powered features, was nominated along with productivity app OmniFocus 4 and 3D design app Shapr3D for Mac App of the Year. And, among a dozen Cultural Impact finalists, only one — language-learning app EF Hello — was described by Apple as an app enhanced by AI technology. (While other apps may use AI under the hood, as the finalist Pinterest does , their App Store marketing doesn’t promote them as “AI” apps to consumers.) If anything, Apple’s curated list of finalists suggests that apps empowering human creativity, not those assisting with AI automation, are the apps that are worthy of highlighting. Most of the finalists’ apps help users do something more with their iPhone or other device, without relying on an AI assistant or features, whether that’s designing, organizing, filming, creating, or playing. Kino , the pro video app from the makers of the pro camera app Halide, for instance, aims to make everyone a better videographer, while others help Apple’s devices work as productivity tools for those in creative fields. This year, Apple also added the new Apple Vision Pro category, where it will pick both an app and game winner.Tuesday’s contest that pits the Furman Paladins (6-0) versus the Seattle U Redhawks (2-3) at T-Mobile Arena has a projected final score of 75-71 (based on our computer prediction) in favor of Furman, who is slightly favored in this matchup according to our model.

PHILADELPHIA -- Saquon Barkley knew the Eagles season rushing record could be his on Sunday with the type of stellar performance that has become the standard during his first season in Philadelphia. As for the exact moment Barkley hit the milestone, he wasn't sure — until the “MVP!” chants echoed throughout the Linc after a 9-yard run in the fourth quarter . “The records are great, they put a smile on your face,” Barkley said, “but the season is far from over.” Needing 109 yards to break LeSean McCoy's record, Barkley rushed for 124 yards and pushed his season total to 1,623 in a 22-16 victory over Carolina . Barkley needed just 13 games to pass McCoy, who rushed for 1,607 yards in 2013. He also overtook Wilbert Montgomery, who had 1,512 yards in 1978. “I never wrote the goal down to break it,” Barkley said. “You're always aware of it. That's how I train. That's how I operate in the offseason. I want to be great.” Barkley also maintained his pace to break Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams. “That would be extremely cool to do,” Barkley said. “If it happens, it happens, and not with the mindset of, I'm scared to go try to do it. Whatever it takes to win football games.” Barkley is averaging 124.8 yards per game. At that pace and with one more game to play than Dickerson, he would become the top single-season rusher in NFL history. He needs 483 yards yards over the final four games to top Dickerson’s 40-year-old record. He averaged 6.2 yards on 20 carries against the Panthers to help the Eagles win their ninth straight game. McCoy, who was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame this season, remains the franchise’s rushing leader with 6,792 yards. Referencing his old uniform number, McCoy congratulated Barkley on social media with “a lot of love, coming from 2-5." “Being a fan of Shady's growing up, and seeing the spectacular things he was able to do with the ball in his hand, to be able to have my name mentioned with him definitely means a lot,” Barkley said. Barkley left the New York Giants in the offseason and signed a three-year deal worth $26 million guaranteed to join the Eagles, who made him the highest-paid running back in franchise history. The 27-year-old has been worth every dollar. Barkley is among the favorites for league MVP, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was the only player with better MVP odds entering Sunday. Barkley has a franchise-record nine 100-yard rushing games in a season. Although he was held out of the end zone Sunday, he began the day leading the league with four rushing touchdowns of 25-plus yards. Barkley, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, topped 1,000 yards three times in his six seasons with the Giants. He finished with 1,312 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022 and rushed for 1,307 yards and 11 scores as a rookie. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, who had been unwilling to spend on elite running backs, pounced on Barkley and the decision was celebrated as a success in Philly from the first game of the season. Barkley rushed for two scores and caught a TD pass in the opener against Green Bay. His three touchdowns were the most by an Eagles player in his debut since Terrell Owens in 2004. Barkley only soared in production and popularity from there, his highlight reel stamped by a reverse leap over the head of a Jacksonville defender last month. He's since vaulted over every running back ahead of him on the Eagles rushing list — and has a chance at NFL history. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFLIsrael launches new strikes on Lebanon as leaders draw closer to ceasefire with Hezbollah
City scientists discover novel approach to detect Mpox virusThe New York Jets are turning to one of their former general managers to help them find their next GM and head coach. The franchise announced Monday that The 33rd Team, a football media, analytics and consulting group founded by former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, will assist team owner Woody Johnson in the searches. Tannenbaum and Rick Spielman, former GM of the Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings, will be The 33rd Team's primary representatives in helping find replacements for former coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas. The 33rd Team was founded in 2019 by Tannenbaum as a media and technology company. In their announcement, the Jets said The 33rd Team will help identify and vet GM and coach candidates and coordinate interviews. Douglas was fired last Tuesday , the latest shakeup for a franchise that had Super Bowl aspirations with a healthy Aaron Rodgers at quarterback but has limped to a 3-8 start and appears likely to miss the playoffs for a 14th consecutive year. Phil Savage, a senior football adviser with the Jets since 2019, will serve as the interim general manager for the rest of the season. The firing of Douglas came exactly six weeks after Johnson fired Saleh as coach on Oct. 8 after the Jets were 2-3 to open the season. New York has since gone 1-5 under defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, who was tabbed as the interim coach. The Jets are coming off their bye-week break and will host the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The franchise has plenty of questions to answer over the next several months, including decisions on their next general manager and coach — and the future of Rodgers. The four-time NFL MVP turns 41 next week, has dealt with leg issues all season and is off to the worst statistical start of his career. Tannenbaum and Spielman will help the Jets find the people to help Johnson and brother Christopher make those key decisions. Johnson took a similar approach in 2015, the last time the Jets hired a general manager and coach in the offseason. Former NFL GMs Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf worked as consultants for the team, which hired Mike Maccagnan as GM and Todd Bowles as coach. Tannenbaum, currently an analyst for ESPN, has first-hand familiarity with Johnson and the franchise. He worked in the Jets' front office for nine years before being promoted to general manager and serving in that role from 2006 to 2012. Tannenbaum helped build the 2009 and 2010 Jets teams that went to the AFC championship game in consecutive seasons under coach Rex Ryan. Ryan, who last coached the Jets in 2014 and also is currently an analyst for ESPN, recently has been lobbying on air for a return to New York's sideline. Tannenbaum also was Miami’s executive vice president of football operations from 2015 to 2018. Spielman served as the Vikings’ general manager from 2012 to 2021 after working as the team’s vice president of player personnel for six years. He was also the Dolphins’ GM in 2004 and served as an adviser last year for the Washington Commanders in their GM and coaching searches. ___ This story has been corrected to show that Spielman was formerly GM of the Minnesota Vikings instead of the Detroit Lions. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL Dennis Waszak Jr., The Associated Press

Michael Carrick answers key question in draw with Burnley - but more ariseThe year 2024 marks a milestone for the Olympic Movement, as the Summer Olympics return to Paris after a century. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) advanced significant reforms, ranging from the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to the future of esports and diversified event formats. These changes are designed to attract broader audiences, particularly younger generations, and underscore the Olympic spirit of inclusivity and progress. With IOC President Thomas Bach finishing his term next year, 2024 is also a pivotal year of leadership transition. The election of a new president not only symbolizes a transfer of power but also sets the stage for a new chapter in the Olympic Movement’s journey. The 2024 Summer Olympics opened on July 26 with a dazzling ceremony along the Seine River, marking the first time in modern Olympic history that the opening ceremony was held outside a stadium. Athletes from 205 delegations traveled six kilometers by boat, from Pont d’Austerlitz to the Eiffel Tower, captivating the global audience with a seamless blend of urban scenery, history and Olympic ideals. Paris, hosting the Olympics for the third time, successfully integrating sports into the city. Iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower hosted beach volleyball, the Grand Palais held taekwondo, and breakdancing premiered at Place de la Concorde, creating new cultural dimensions for the Games. “We wanted to bring sports closer to the heart of the city and showcase Paris’ vibrancy and inclusivity,” said Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet. The Paris Olympics achieved a historic milestone in gender equality, becoming the first Games to feature an equal number of male and female athletes, each representing 50 percent of the participants. The event also introduced more mixed-gender events, demonstrating the IOC’s commitment to equity. “Gender equality lies at the core of Olympism. Through the Paris Olympics, we aim to send a clear message that sports belong to everyone,” said Bach. Sustainability was another defining theme of Paris 2024. As a model for the IOC’s Olympic Agenda 2020+5, the event reduced carbon emissions by 50 percent compared to the previous Summer Games, prioritizing existing venues. Only three new facilities were built: the Porte de La Chapelle Arena, the Le Bourget Climbing Center and the Olympic Aquatic Center near Stade de France, and all will continue to serve local communities after the Games. The Olympic Village, featuring modular designs and eco-friendly technologies is converted into 3,000 residential units, creating lasting benefits for the community. “Paris 2024 is more than a sporting event, it’s a legacy for future generations,” said IOC Corporate and Sustainable Development Director Marie Sallois. In 2024, the IOC demonstrated foresight in advancing the Olympic Movement. In April, it launched the Olympic AI Agenda, outlining the potential of AI in sports. AI was deployed extensively at Paris 2024, from OBS’s “Cloud Venue” for live broadcasting to AI-enhanced refereeing and personalized athlete training programs. It even played a role in promoting a positive digital environment by combating online hate speech on social media. “AI enhances fairness, and efficiency, and delivers an immersive experience for global audiences,” Bach noted. To sustain Olympic excitement beyond the Games period, the IOC introduced the Olympic Qualifier Series, with two legs in Shanghai and Budapest featuring skateboarding, sport climbing, breakdancing and BMX freestyle. These innovative qualifiers drew top athletes competing for Paris 2024 berths and attracted younger audiences with music, cultural performances and interactive experiences. “The Qualifier Series is more than an experiment; it’s a new way to express Olympism,” said Pierre Fratter-Bardy, Olympic Games Strategy & Development Associate Director. Esports also gained momentum as a focus of IOC reforms. Following the formation of the Esports Committee, the IOC announced plans for the inaugural Olympic Esports Games in 2025 in Saudi Arabia. While esports offers vast opportunities to engage younger audiences, its alignment with Olympic values remains a key challenge. “Esports is a global language for youth, but we must ensure its values align with the Olympic spirit,” said David Lappartient, Chair of the IOC’s Esports and Gaming Liaison Group. Flexibility in event formats was another highlight of this year’s reforms. The Dakar 2026 Youth Olympics will introduce interactive cultural showcases while reducing event disciplines to 151, easing organizational burdens. The event will also achieve full gender parity and see Wushu debut as an official sport, celebrating the diversity of Olympic culture. These reforms, blending technology, youth engagement and cultural inclusion, have strengthened the Olympic Movement’s relevance and appeal. The achievements of 2024 set a solid foundation for future Games. As Bach’s 12-year tenure nears its end, the IOC is preparing for a leadership transition. Over his term, Bach led reforms like the Olympic Agenda 2020 and 2020+5, advancing sustainability, innovation and gender equality. This summer in Paris, the 70-year-old German announced he would step down in 2025, marking the start of a new chapter for the IOC. Seven candidates have entered the race to succeed Bach, including IOC Vice President Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr., World Athletics President Sebastian Coe, International Cycling Union President David Lappartient, Zimbabwean Olympic champion Kirsty Coventry, International Ski Federation President Johan Eliasch, International Gymnastics Federation President Morinari Watanabe, and Prince Faisal Al Hussein of Jordan. The election vote will take place in March 2025 in ancient Olympia. Candidates will present their visions in January before members cast their votes in a closed-door ballot. Meanwhile, the IOC’s commercial framework has seen significant changes. Three Japanese firms – Panasonic, Toyota and Bridgestone – will exit The Olympic Partner (TOP) program after 2024, raising questions about future partnerships. Despite these departures, the IOC remains confident in TOP’s global appeal. “TOP remains one of the most successful marketing platforms, and we are actively engaging new partners,” said an IOC marketing executive. Chinese brands have emerged as strong contenders, with firms like Hisense, Vivo and BYD having already gained international exposure through major sports sponsorships. As the Olympic Movement adapts to a shifting global landscape, new opportunities for partnership and growth are expected. Looking ahead, the Olympic Movement continues to embrace innovations. The Los Angeles 2028 Games promise to redefine AI-driven spectator experiences, leveraging cutting-edge technology for unprecedented engagement. Meanwhile, the 2030 Winter Olympics in France will fully implement green initiatives, setting a benchmark for sustainability in major sporting events. With evolving leadership, technological integration and cultural inclusivity, the Olympics stand poised for a new era of global unity and progress. ■

The match was exciting at the beginning, as the video technology (VAR) prevented Tunisian Firas Balarabi from entering the history of the Professional Cup, after he scored the fastest goal in the competition after 36 seconds, following a rebound from the Al-Wahda goalkeeper, which he completed in the goal. But the “King”‘s smile did not last long after Luan Pereira was able to score the lead goal, following Firas Balarabi’s corner, and headed it into the roof of the goal (4). The Sharjah goalkeeper played the starring role when he blocked Ottilie alone after a cross that hit the Sharjah defense, preserving his team’s lead in the first half. In the second half, Sharjah was able to double the score by scoring the second goal following a mistake by goalkeeper Mohammed Al Shamsi and Aladdin Zuhair, which Caio Lucas took advantage of and easily put the ball into the goal (52). Hope returned to Al-Wahda, which won a penalty kick after Shaheen Abdel-Rahman intervened against Arkenov, and Omar Khribin jumped in and scored it in the “Panenka” style in the 59th minute. Sharjah returned to expand the gap again by scoring the third goal from “friendly fire”, when Aladdin Zuhair tried to clear the ball from inside the box, putting it in a difficult place, with Ahmed Nour Allah and the goalkeeper unable to clear the ball (70). Sharjah received a new gift from Al Wahda’s defense, which allowed Caio Lucas to pass and shoot from a difficult angle, adding his second personal goal and the fourth for his “77” team. . .
