Some elite US universities favor wealthy students in admissions decisions, lawsuit allegesTOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republicans made claims about illegal voting by noncitizens a centerpiece of their 2024 campaign messaging and plan to push legislation in the new Congress requiring voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship. Yet there's one place with a GOP supermajority where linking voting to citizenship appears to be a nonstarter: Kansas. That's because the state has been there, done that, and all but a few Republicans would prefer not to go there again. Kansas imposed a proof-of-citizenship requirement over a decade ago that grew into one of the biggest political fiascos in the state in recent memory. The law, passed by the state Legislature in 2011 and implemented two years later, ended up blocking the voter registrations of more than 31,000 U.S. citizens who were otherwise eligible to vote. That was 12% of everyone seeking to register in Kansas for the first time. Federal courts ultimately declared the law an unconstitutional burden on voting rights, and it hasn't been enforced since 2018. Kansas provides a cautionary tale about how pursuing an election concern that in fact is extremely rare risks disenfranchising a far greater number of people who are legally entitled to vote. The state’s top elections official, Secretary of State Scott Schwab, championed the idea as a legislator and now says states and the federal government shouldn't touch it. “Kansas did that 10 years ago,” said Schwab, a Republican. “It didn’t work out so well.” Steven Fish, a 45-year-old warehouse worker in eastern Kansas, said he understands the motivation behind the law. In his thinking, the state was like a store owner who fears getting robbed and installs locks. But in 2014, after the birth of his now 11-year-old son inspired him to be “a little more responsible” and follow politics, he didn’t have an acceptable copy of his birth certificate to get registered to vote in Kansas. “The locks didn’t work,” said Fish, one of nine Kansas residents who sued the state over the law. “You caught a bunch of people who didn’t do anything wrong.” Kansas' experience appeared to receive little if any attention outside the state as Republicans elsewhere pursued proof-of-citizenship requirements this year. Arizona enacted a requirement this year, applying it to voting for state and local elections but not for Congress or president. The Republican-led U.S. House passed a proof-of-citizenship requirement in the summer and plans to bring back similar legislation after the GOP won control of the Senate in November. In Ohio, the Republican secretary of state revised the form that poll workers use for voter eligibility challenges to require those not born in the U.S. to show naturalization papers to cast a regular ballot. A federal judge declined to block the practice days before the election. Also, sizable majorities of voters in Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina and the presidential swing states of North Carolina and Wisconsin were inspired to amend their state constitutions' provisions on voting even though the changes were only symbolic. Provisions that previously declared that all U.S. citizens could vote now say that only U.S. citizens can vote — a meaningless distinction with no practical effect on who is eligible. To be clear, voters already must attest to being U.S. citizens when they register to vote and noncitizens can face fines, prison and deportation if they lie and are caught. “There is nothing unconstitutional about ensuring that only American citizens can vote in American elections,” U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, of Texas, the leading sponsor of the congressional proposal, said in an email statement to The Associated Press. After Kansas residents challenged their state's law, both a federal judge and federal appeals court concluded that it violated a law limiting states to collecting only the minimum information needed to determine whether someone is eligible to vote. That's an issue Congress could resolve. The courts ruled that with “scant” evidence of an actual problem, Kansas couldn't justify a law that kept hundreds of eligible citizens from registering for every noncitizen who was improperly registered. A federal judge concluded that the state’s evidence showed that only 39 noncitizens had registered to vote from 1999 through 2012 — an average of just three a year. In 2013, then-Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican who had built a national reputation advocating tough immigration laws, described the possibility of voting by immigrants living in the U.S. illegally as a serious threat. He was elected attorney general in 2022 and still strongly backs the idea, arguing that federal court rulings in the Kansas case “almost certainly got it wrong.” Kobach also said a key issue in the legal challenge — people being unable to fix problems with their registrations within a 90-day window — has probably been solved. “The technological challenge of how quickly can you verify someone’s citizenship is getting easier,” Kobach said. “As time goes on, it will get even easier.” The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the Kansas case in 2020. But in August, it split 5-4 in allowing Arizona to continue enforcing its law for voting in state and local elections while a legal challenge goes forward. Seeing the possibility of a different Supreme Court decision in the future, U.S. Rep.-elect Derek Schmidt says states and Congress should pursue proof-of-citizenship requirements. Schmidt was the Kansas attorney general when his state's law was challenged. "If the same matter arose now and was litigated, the facts would be different," he said in an interview. But voting rights advocates dismiss the idea that a legal challenge would turn out differently. Mark Johnson, one of the attorneys who fought the Kansas law, said opponents now have a template for a successful court fight. “We know the people we can call," Johnson said. “We know that we’ve got the expert witnesses. We know how to try things like this.” He predicted "a flurry — a landslide — of litigation against this.” Initially, the Kansas requirement's impacts seemed to fall most heavily on politically unaffiliated and young voters. As of fall 2013, 57% of the voters blocked from registering were unaffiliated and 40% were under 30. But Fish was in his mid-30s, and six of the nine residents who sued over the Kansas law were 35 or older. Three even produced citizenship documents and still didn’t get registered, according to court documents. “There wasn’t a single one of us that was actually an illegal or had misinterpreted or misrepresented any information or had done anything wrong,” Fish said. He was supposed to produce his birth certificate when he sought to register in 2014 while renewing his Kansas driver's license at an office in a strip mall in Lawrence. A clerk wouldn't accept the copy Fish had of his birth certificate. He still doesn't know where to find the original, having been born on an Air Force base in Illinois that closed in the 1990s. Several of the people joining Fish in the lawsuit were veterans, all born in the U.S., and Fish said he was stunned that they could be prevented from registering. Liz Azore, a senior adviser to the nonpartisan Voting Rights Lab, said millions of Americans haven't traveled outside the U.S. and don't have passports that might act as proof of citizenship, or don't have ready access to their birth certificates. She and other voting rights advocates are skeptical that there are administrative fixes that will make a proof-of-citizenship law run more smoothly today than it did in Kansas a decade ago. “It’s going to cover a lot of people from all walks of life,” Avore said. “It’s going to be disenfranchising large swaths of the country.” Associated Press writer Julie Carr Smyth in Columbus, Ohio, contributed to this report.
After rail blockade, farmers call for Pb bandh on Dec 30WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Matt Gaetz said Friday that he will not be returning to Congress after withdrawing his name from consideration to be attorney general under President-elect Donald Trump amid growing allegations of sexual misconduct. “I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress,” Gaetz told conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, adding that he has “some other goals in life that I’m eager to pursue with my wife and my family.” The announcement comes a day after Gaetz, a Florida Republican, stepped aside from the Cabinet nomination process amid growing fallout from federal and House Ethics investigations that cast doubt on his ability to be confirmed as the nation’s chief federal law enforcement officer. The 42-year-old has vehemently denied the allegations against him. Gaetz’s nomination as attorney general had stunned many career lawyers inside the Justice Department, but reflected Trump’s desire to place a loyalist in a department he has marked for retribution following the criminal cases against him. Hours after Gaetz withdrew, Trump nominated Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general, who would come to the job with years of legal work under her belt and that other trait Trump prizes above all: loyalty. It’s unclear what’s next for Gaetz, who is no longer a member of the House. He surprised colleagues by resigning from Congress the same day that Trump nominated him for attorney general. Some speculated he could still be sworn into office for another two-year term on Jan. 3, given that he had just won reelection earlier this month. But Gaetz, who has been in state and national politics for 14 years, said he’s done with Congress. “I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress,” he said.
Bureau, a leading risk intelligence platform, has raised $30 million in Series B funding to strengthen its fight against the growing threat of AI-powered fraud, which has cost businesses a staggering $486 billion globally each year. This funding round, led by Sorenson Capital with participation from PayPal Ventures, Commerce Ventures, GMO Venture Partners, Village Global, Quona Capital, and XYZ Ventures, will accelerate Bureau’s product and geographic expansion as demand for advanced fraud prevention solutions surges worldwide. Since its last fundraising round, Bureau has experienced significant growth, with revenue increasing threefold. The company is leveraging its proprietary technology powered by Graph Neural Networks to combat sophisticated fraud tactics such as deepfake identities, account takeovers, and payment fraud, which have surged with the rise of AI tools. Bureau’s platform integrates device intelligence, behavioral AI, identity data, and predictive modeling to deliver contextual fraud prevention across the entire customer lifecycle. Ranjan Reddy, founder and CEO of Bureau, built the company with a personal mission: after falling victim to cyber fraud himself, he sought to transform the way businesses verify digital identities and detect fraud. Reddy’s experience with Qubecell and Boku Identity highlighted the critical need for digital companies to answer the fundamental questions: “Who are you?” and “Can I trust you?” at every stage of the customer journey. “Bureau stands at the forefront of the fight against digital fraud,” Reddy said, noting that the company’s platform now contains over half a billion identities and behavioral patterns, offering real-time risk intelligence to prevent fraud before it occurs. Unlike traditional fraud-prevention solutions that operate in silos, Bureau’s unified platform seamlessly detects fraud while ensuring minimal disruption to user experience, customer retention, and growth. Bureau’s unique approach has made it a key player in fraud prevention for sectors such as banking, fintech, gaming, and e-commerce, where it has proven effective in preventing synthetic identity fraud, detecting collusion in gaming platforms, and improving risk profiling for new-to-credit customers. The company’s impact has earned it recognition as a global leader in fraud prevention by Liminal. The new funding will support two main initiatives: enhancing Bureau’s AI and data capabilities to improve decision efficiency and expanding its reach to new global markets. With a current focus on Asia, Bureau plans to extend its fraud prevention services to additional regions, empowering more businesses worldwide to protect their digital ecosystems from emerging threats. “In an era where AI-powered fraud threatens the digital economy, Bureau’s focus will remain on improving digital trust by protecting and accelerating customer journeys,” added Reddy. The future of fraud may be AI-powered, but with Bureau, the future of prevention is too.gorodenkoff Micron Technology, Inc.

By John Ogunsemore The Federal Government has distanced itself from a purported list of ambassadorial nominees currently circulating on social media . In a Sunday statement, acting spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa described the list as fake. The ministry said that President Bola Tinubu has the prerogative of appointing ambassadors, which he has not done. The ministry urged the public to disregard claims on appointment of ambassadorial nominees as it is devoid of truth. “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to inform the general public to kindly disregard the fake list of ambassadorial nominees, which is currently in circulation on some social media platforms. “The Ministry wishes to state unequivocally that the appointment of ambassadors is the prerogative of Mr. President, and no such appointments have been made in that regard. “The purported list should, therefore, be discountenanced,” the statement reads.
A new round of Israeli air strikes in Yemen have targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital and multiple ports while the World Health Organisation’s director-general said the bombardment occurred nearby as he prepared to board a flight. “The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few metres from where we were — and the runway were damaged,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on the social media platform X. He added that he and UN colleagues were safe. “We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave,” he said. UN spokesperson Stephanie Tremblay later said the injured person was with the UN Humanitarian Air Service. Our mission to negotiate the release of @UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation in #Yemen concluded today. We continue to call for the detainees' immediate release.

The Israeli strikes followed several days of Houthi launches setting off sirens in Israel. The Israeli military in a statement said it attacked infrastructure used by the Iran-backed Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa and ports in Hodeida, Al-Salif and Ras Qantib, along with power stations, asserting they were used to smuggle in Iranian weapons and for the entry of senior Iranian officials. Israel’s military added it had “capabilities to strike very far from Israel’s territory — precisely, powerfully, and repetitively”. The strikes, carried out over 1,000 miles from Jerusalem, came a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “the Houthis, too, will learn what Hamas and Hezbollah and Assad’s regime and others learned” as his military has battled those more powerful proxies of Iran. The Houthi-controlled satellite channel al-Masirah reported multiple deaths and showed broken windows, collapsed ceilings and a bloodstained floor and vehicle. Iran’s foreign ministry condemned the strikes. The US military has also targeted the Houthis in recent days. The UN has said the targeted ports are important entry points for humanitarian aid for Yemen, the poorest Arab nation that plunged into a civil war in 2014. Over the weekend, 16 people were wounded when a Houthi missile hit a playground in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, while other missiles and drones have been shot down. Last week, Israeli jets struck Sanaa and Hodeida, killing nine people, calling it a response to previous Houthi attacks. The Houthis also have been targeting shipping on the Red Sea corridor in what it says is an act of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The UN Security Council has an emergency meeting on Monday in response to an Israeli request that it condemn the Houthi attacks and Iran for supplying them with weapons.

Last Updated: Are you sure you want to delete this comment?WASHINGTON, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Reported sightings of drones over New Jersey have prompted a spike in the number of people in the state pointing lasers at airplanes flying overhead, which is illegal and can be dangerous, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said. The FAA said reports are up 269% to 59 in the first half of December, compared with eight in the same period last year. Aiming a laser at an aircraft is a serious safety issue and a violation of federal law. U.S. agencies have repeatedly said the spike in drone sightings does not pose national security risks and appear to be mostly aircraft, stars or hobbyist drones. The FAA said it has received dozens of new laser reports from pilots in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania airspace. The FBI in New Jersey separately warned people Wednesday not to shoot at suspected drones or point lasers at them, warning "there could be dangerous and possibly deadly consequences if manned aircraft are targeted mistakenly" as drones. Federal agencies have stepped up tracking of drones in New Jersey and in nearby states after a frenzy of public concern. Fewer than 100 of the more than 5,000 reported sightings in New Jersey and other northeastern U.S. states merited investigation, officials at the Defense Department, Homeland Security Department, FBI and FAA said this week. The Biden administration gave members of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee a classified briefing on the issue on Tuesday. Officials have repeatedly said most of the large fixed-wing sightings involved manned aircraft, and came after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Monday called for more federal comment on the reported sightings. There are about 1 million registered drones flying about 42 million flights annually. "There are thousands of commercial, hobbyist and law enforcement drones lawfully in the sky on any given day. With the technology landscape evolving, we expect that number to increase over time," agencies said this week. Sign up here. Reporting by David Shepardson; Editing by Leslie Adler and David Gregorio Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. , opens new tabArguably Pakistan’s most courageous politician, Benazir Bhutto survived three assassination attempts before being assassinated on December 27, 2007, shortly after addressing an election rally at the historic Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi. As former prime minister, she stood firm against terrorism and religious extremism, yet pursued reconciliation even with her staunchest political opponents as a way forward. Her politics of 'reconciliation' serves as a lesson for today's politicians, whether part of the ruling alliance or the opposition, as they have finally agreed to engage in dialogue. One can only hope that 2025 will be remembered as the year of 'reconciliation' rather than confrontation. Benazir’s entry into politics was not accidental as even during her student life she was elected as president of Oxford University Students Union, which after her assassination dedicated 'Benazir Corner’ at the university campus which this ascribe visited during a London trip, last year. Thus, she always had that political instinct and no wonder her father noticed that and took her on his historic visit to Shimla, India in 1972, where she was interviewed by a veteran Indian journalist and author, Saeed Naqvi. Though she always said that politics had never been her first choice as a career she turned out to be Pakistan’s most dynamic politician who despite being a woman led her party, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), from the front whether leading the procession or facing baton-charge or teargas before she died in a targeted suicide attack after the last election public meeting just before the general election when she was tipped to become the prime minister for the third time. While the assassination of the first woman prime minister of the Islamic World is still an unresolved mystery and serious questions have been raised over the criminal investigation into the case and over her ‘internal security’ mechanism, a ‘million dollar’ question is why she was the constant target ever since she entered into politics. Politics has never been easy in Pakistan, particularly for women, and Benazir Bhutto faced some of the worst kinds of criticism, and personal attacks during her years in politics to the extent that a ‘woman can’t be a prime minister in an Islamic State’. Even hurdles were created to block her thumping majority in 1988 when all was set for her to get her party's two-thirds majority. One of her staunch critics, former ISI chief late Lt-Gen Hameed Gul created an opposition alliance, the Islamic Jamohri Ittehad (IJI) and used a ‘religious card’ against her and Begum Nusrat Bhutto — Benazir's mother. I was a witness to that political rally of the IJI in Lahore, when photographs of Begum Bhutto with former US president Gerald Ford were dropped for private aircraft in Lahore in a bid to portray the two women as Westernised ladies. Years later he himself admitted in a television interview with me that he was wrong about her. ”It is true that when she first returned to Pakistan from exile in 1986 and got a rousing reception in Lahore there was apprehension within the army establishment that if elected she would try to take revenge from some of those which she believed responsible for her father’s execution,” Gen Gull said, adding that keeping that in mind a strategy was evolved to cut to size her majority. “However, after meeting her for the first time in Karachi, after she got elected as prime minister, I realised that I was wrong about her and she turned out to be the most patriotic Pakistani,” he stated. Like her father, she entered into politics at a very young age and also died in her 50s like father Zulfikar Ali Bhutto but not before both Benazir and Begum Bhutto went through one of the toughest political journeys beginning with the hanging of ZAB followed by years of detention. Benazir herself described her last meeting with her father along with her mother at the ‘death cell’, on April 3, hours before he was hanged on April 4, 1979, which decades later the Supreme Court described as an ‘unjust trial and conviction,’ tantamount to ‘judicial murder’. “It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life," she told me in an interview years later, adding that her father gave her the courage to fight against dictators like Gen Zia ul Haq. Benazir first became the target when she was first arrested and kept at Sukkur prison. She was put in a cell which was very vulnerable for male prisoners and jail officials, and it was an attempt to humiliate her. When she returned from exile on 10 April 1986 she was received by nearly half a million people but that historic reception didn’t go well in powerful circles, and it was followed by verbal and abusive attacks from the pro-establishment politicians in a public meeting. But, Benazir Bhutto was a master in handling such a situation, and she never replied to such personal attacks on her, being a woman as her vision of politics was much bigger. Even in the early 80s, just a year after ZAB’s hanging, Benazir went for a broader political alliance even with those she and particularly her mother Begum Bhutto suspected to have a role and support in Bhutto’s execution. This led to a historic alliance called, Movement for Restoration of Democracy (MRD) in 1980. This laid the foundation of her politics of ‘reconciliation’, which she continued to follow till her death. She always distanced herself from politics of violence and terrorism and her biggest test came when in February 1981, a PIA aircraft was hijacked by some PPP activists and owned by none other than her brother, Mir Murtaza Bhutto, who was unfortunately killed by police in what officially been described as ‘encounter’ near Bhutto’s historic house 70 Clifton on September 20, 1996, when Benazir was the prime minister. Benazir not only condemned the hijacking but described it as an attempt to sabotage the MRD and she was not all that wrong as the immediate fallout of the hijacking was that one of the parties in the alliance, Muslim Conference of Azad Kashmir of Sardar Abdul Qayyum quit the MRD. However, the alliance launched the historic movement against martial law and the alliance remained intact till 1988 and played a historic role in weakening the powerful Zia as after the the MRD 1983 movement, Zia first held a referendum to get legitimacy followed by holding non-party based elections. Benazir faced another toughest challenge in her own stronghold Sindh and tried to bridge the gap between urban and rural Sindh, particularly after the Hyderabad massacre in which nearly 150 people were killed and in reaction over 100 were killed in Karachi. All this led to complete political polarisation and the result of the 1988 elections was a clear reflection of this urban-rural divide as the rural Sindh voted for PPP en-bloc while urban voters voted for Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM). However, despite having a two-thirds majority Benazir Bhutto invited the MQM to join hands with the PPP and the two parties signed an accord and share in power. But, almost eight months later a conspiracy was hatched to overthrow the BB’s government and she herself blamed the then establishment for using the MQM in a vote of no confidence against her, which though was defeated but her government was finally dismissed on August 6, 1990. Her politics of reconciliation led to another historic agreement and this time with her staunch political opponent former premier Nawaz Sharif when both were barred from contesting elections in 2002 by former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf. Both of them were in exile and finally, in 2006, they signed the historic ‘Charter of Democracy (COD)'. Despite her ‘Politics of Reconciliation’ she was very firm on her resolution in the fight against terrorism and extremism and in 1993, as a consequence an attempt was made on her life when a bomb was planted near Bilawal House Chowrangi but an hour before her motorcade about to leave bomb disposal squad found a bomb was found. Only in 2007, three attempts were made first, on October 18, when she arrived at the Karachi airport to lead the election campaign. Two suicide bombers exploded in a bid to kill her exploded themselves, killing nearly 100 people and causing injuries to 200. The next morning she visited the injured and families of those killed which clearly showed her courage and resolve against terrorism. The second attempt was foiled in Peshawar, when two suspects were caught near her car during the rally and later confessed that they were assigned the job of killing her. Days before her final public meeting Benazir Bhutto was informed by none other than the top intelligence officers about the danger to her life. Former ISI DG personally met her at Zardari House in Islamabad and informed her about the specific security threat to her life. On the morning of December 27, she had a breakfast meeting with ex-Afghan president Hamid Karzai and he too confirmed the threat to her life on the basis of Afghan intelligence. However, it is still a mystery whether her own chief security adviser and former interior minister late Rehman Malik also advised her not to Liaquat Bagh or not. There was a serious security lapse as the security plan was never followed and despite the decision that no one other than Benazir Bhutto’s own security personnel would be allowed near the stage nor people would be allowed near the security gate, she was surrounded by people as she came down after the meeting which ultimately resulted in the fatal attack. Investigation into her case also raised many questions including washout or cleaning up of the crime scene. Benazir’s personal mobile remains missing for almost a year, according to one of the members of the Joint Investigation Team, former SSP Rao Anwar. “I did not sign the JIT report as the investigation was supposed to start with the chief security officer who also kept her mobile for nearly a year. All this made the case most suspicious,” Anwar told this scribe. However, Malik at that time completely rejected all allegations against him and blamed that she was killed by militants. Whether it was a coincidence or a surprise, when I met Malik late at night on December 27 at a local hotel in Karachi, I was taken aback and I asked: ”How come you are here and at this time?" He said,” I am going to Dubai and will come with Zardari Sb to Ghari Khuda Bux.” In the death of Benazir Bhutto, Pakistan lost a powerful and courageous politician with whom one can have different views agree or disagree but the general consensus about her even among her political opponents is that she always stood for ‘reconciliation’ and that one lesson can be the way forward even today.

Police arrested a 26-year-old man on Monday in the Manhattan killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO after they say a Pennsylvania McDonald's worker alerted authorities to a customer who resembled the suspected gunman. The suspect, identified by police as Luigi Nicholas Mangione, had a gun believed to be the one used in Wednesday’s attack on Brian Thompson , as well as writings expressing anger at corporate America, police said. Here are some of the latest developments in the investigation: Mangione was taken into custody at around 9:15 a.m. after police received a tip that he was eating at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 85 miles (137 kilometers) east of Pittsburgh, police said. Mangione was being held in Pennsylvania on gun charges and will eventually be extradited to New York to face charges in connection with Thompson’s death , said NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny. In addition to a three-page, handwritten document that suggests he harbored “ill will toward corporate America,” Kenny said Mangione also had a ghost gun, a type of weapon that can be assembled at home and is difficult to trace. Officers questioned Mangione, who was acting suspiciously and carrying multiple fraudulent IDs, as well as a U.S. passport, New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference. Officers also found a sound suppressor, or silencer, “consistent with the weapon used in the murder,” the commissioner said. He had clothing and a mask similar to those worn by the shooter and a fraudulent New Jersey ID matching one the suspect used to check into a New York City hostel before the shooting, Tisch said. Kenny said Mangione was born and raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco and that his last known address is in Honolulu. Mangione, who was valedictorian of his Maryland prep school, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a university spokesman told The Associated Press on Monday. He learned to code in high school and helped start a club at Penn for people interested in gaming and game design, according to a 2018 story in Penn Today, a campus publication. His social media posts also suggest that he belonged to the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi. They also show him taking part in a 2019 program at Stanford University, and in photos with family and friends at the Jersey Shore and in Hawaii, San Diego, Puerto Rico, and other destinations. The Gilman School, from which Mangione graduated in 2016, is one of Baltimore’s elite prep schools. Some of the city’s wealthiest and most prominent people, including Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr., have had children attend the school. Its alumni include sportswriter Frank Deford and former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington. In his valedictory speech, Luigi Mangione described his classmates’ “incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things,” according to a post on the school website. He praised their collective inventiveness and pioneering mindset. Mangione took a software programming internship after high school at Maryland-based video game studio Firaxis, where he fixed bugs on the hit strategy game Civilization 6, according to a LinkedIn profile. Firaxis parent company Take-Two Interactive said Monday it would not comment on former employees. He more recently worked at the car-buying website TrueCar, according to the head of the Santa Monica, California-based company. “While we generally don’t comment on personnel matters, we confirm that Luigi Mangione has not been an employee of our company since 2023,” TrueCar CEO Jantoon Reigersman said by email. Mangione comes from a prominent Maryland family. His grandfather Nick Mangione, who died in 2008, was a successful real estate developer. One of his best-known projects was Turf Valley Resort, a sprawling luxury retreat and conference center outside Baltimore that he purchased in 1978. The father of 10 children, Nick Mangione prepared his five sons — including Luigi Mangione’s father, Louis Mangione — to help manage the family business, according to a 2003 Washington Post report. The Mangione family also purchased Hayfields Country Club north of Baltimore in 1986. On Monday, Baltimore County police officers blocked off an entrance to the property, which public records link to Luigi Mangione’s parents. Reporters and photographers gathered outside the entrance. Luigi Mangione is one of 37 grandchildren of Nick Mangione, according to the grandfather's obituary. Luigi Mangione's grandparents donated to charities through the Mangione Family Foundation, according to a statement from Loyola University commemorating Nick Mangione’s wife’s death in 2023. They donated to various causes ranging from Catholic organizations to colleges and the arts. One of Luigi Mangione’s cousins is Republican Maryland state legislator Nino Mangione, a spokesman for the lawmaker's office confirmed Monday. Police said the person who killed Thompson left a hostel on Manhattan's Upper West Side at 5:41 a.m. on Wednesday. Just 11 minutes later, he was seen on surveillance video walking back and forth in front of the New York Hilton Midtown, wearing a distinctive backpack. At 6:44 a.m., he shot Thompson at a side entrance to the hotel, fled on foot, then climbed aboard a bicycle and within four minutes had entered Central Park. Another security camera recorded the gunman leaving the park near the American Museum of Natural History at 6:56 a.m. still on the bicycle but without the backpack. After getting in a taxi, he headed north to a bus terminal near the George Washington Bridge, arriving at around 7:30 a.m. From there, the trail of video evidence runs cold. Police have not located video of the suspect exiting the building, leading them to believe he likely took a bus out of town. Police said they are still investigating the path the suspect took to Pennsylvania. “This just happened this morning," Kenny said. "We’ll be working, backtracking his steps from New York to Altoona, Pennsylvania,” Kenny said. Associated Press reporters Lea Skene in Baltimore, Matt O'Brien in Providence, Rhode Island, and Cedar Attanasio in New York contributed to this report.PHILADELPHIA — Let’s get the good news in Philadelphia out of the way first. The Eagles are riding a nine-game winning streak, Saquon Barkley is making a serious run at the NFL season rushing record and a playoff berth was clinched for the fourth straight year under coach Nick Sirianni. Now, about all that grumbling ... Yes, Philly sports fans, media and social media doomsayers are usually the ones with a complaint even in the best of times for the pro teams. Perhaps it’s a bit unsettling around Philadelphia, then, that the grousing after a win over Carolina this weekend came from inside the locker room. Wide receivers DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown, and even Jalen Hurts, made public their complaints about the state of the (diminishing) passing game, putting the coaching staff on notice that enough was enough and it was time to rev up the engine on a pair of 1,000-yard receivers and get the offense humming headed into the postseason. Even Sirianni conceded that yes, it was fair to raise questions about an offense that allowed Smith and Brown to combine for only eight catches and 80 yards. The problem this week? “Being on the same page,” said Smith, whose team hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Smith is coming off consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons and has yet to break 100 in a game this season. Brown has four 100-yard games, well off last season’s run when he topped 100 yards in six straight games and seven times overall. Hurts threw for just 108 yards with two TDs passing and one rushing score. Should an offense getting on the same page develop into this much of a concern for the Eagles (11-2) after 13 games? “No. I just say no,” Hurts said. There are reasons the numbers are down. The easy one, of course, is that the traditionally pass-happy Eagles have leaned on Barkley and his team-record 1,623 yards to steer the offense in his first season. Hurts also shoulders his share of the blame given his propensity for holding on to the ball. He was sacked four times and missed Smith and Brown the few times he did chuck the ball deep to open receivers on long routes. Hurts didn’t throw Brown the ball a couple of times when he was open, including on a TD pass to Smith. “Have to find a way to come together and come and sync as a unit and play complementary ball,” Hurts said. Hurts has topped 300 yards passing only once this season, and his last three games are at 179-118-108. He does have only five interceptions and has thrown just one during the winning streak. What needs help The offensive woes start at the beginning. The Eagles have yet to score a touchdown on their opening possession through the first 13 games and average only 10.7 points in the first half. They had only 46 total yards in the first quarter. The slow starts are one reason why teams with losing records such as Carolina, Jacksonville and Cleveland are able to keep games close at the Linc and make last-gasp drives at an upset victory. What’s working The running game. That really only means one name: Barkley. Barkley rushed for 124 yards to break the Eagles’ season record, and Eric Dickerson’s NFL mark is in his sights. Barkley needed just 13 games to pass LeSean McCoy, who rushed for 1,607 yards in 2013. Barkley also maintained his pace to break Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams. 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 over the final four games to top Dickerson’s 40-year-old record. Barkley is one pace for 2,122 yards, just 17 yards beyond Dickerson’s 2,105 total. Stock up Linebackers Zack Baun and Nakobe Dean. Dean led the Eagles with 12 tackles while Baun had 11 tackles and a sack. They both had strong games in shutting down Carolina’s — albeit banged-up — running game. Stock down Jake Elliott. Elliott was wide right on a 52-yard attempt in the third quarter and has missed all five attempts of 50-plus yards this season. Injuries Safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was evaluated for a concussion and treated for an additional injury in the fourth quarter but had a game-changing interception. Key number 9 — The Eagles won nine straight games only three other times, in the 2017, 2003 and 1960 seasons.FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys are shutting down CeeDee Lamb with two games remaining after their 2023 All-Pro receiver spent the second half of the season dealing with a sprained right shoulder. The team said Thursday that additional exams revealed enough damage to keep Lamb off the field Sunday at Philadelphia and in the final game at home against Washington. The team said surgery was not expected to be required. Dallas was eliminated from playoff contention a few hours before last weekend's 26-24 victory over Tampa Bay . The decision on Lamb means the Cowboys will finish the regular season with at least five former Pro Bowlers on injured reserve. Among the others are quarterback Dak Prescott, who was limited to eight games before a season-ending hamstring tear, and right guard Zack Martin. The seven-time All-Pro made it through 10 games before deciding on season-ending ankle surgery. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence didn't playing after Week 4 because of a foot injury, and cornerback Trevon Diggs battled a variety of injuries while playing 11 games before a knee injury ended his season. Lamb initially injured his right shoulder when it hit the turf hard twice in a 27-21 loss at Atlanta on Nov. 3. He kept playing and had at least 100 yards in each of his last two games — both victories — before getting shut down. The 25-year-old Lamb sat out the entire offseason and preseason in a contract dispute after getting career highs in catches (an NFL-best 135), yards receiving (club-record 1,749) and touchdowns (12) in 2023. The holdout finally ended with a $136 million, four-year extension in late August, but neither the Cowboys nor their star receiver could get that production going again this season. Dallas (7-8) is missing the playoffs for the first time since 2020, Lamb's rookie year. Lamb finishes the season with 101 catches for 1,194 yards and six TDs.

He added that he and UN colleagues were safe. “We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave,” he said. UN spokesperson Stephanie Tremblay later said the injured person was with the UN Humanitarian Air Service. Our mission to negotiate the release of @UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation in #Yemen concluded today. We continue to call for the detainees' immediate release.

The Israeli strikes followed several days of Houthi launches setting off sirens in Israel. The Israeli military in a statement said it attacked infrastructure used by the Iran-backed Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa and ports in Hodeida, Al-Salif and Ras Qantib, along with power stations, asserting they were used to smuggle in Iranian weapons and for the entry of senior Iranian officials. Israel’s military added it had “capabilities to strike very far from Israel’s territory — precisely, powerfully, and repetitively”. The strikes, carried out over 1,000 miles from Jerusalem, came a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “the Houthis, too, will learn what Hamas and Hezbollah and Assad’s regime and others learned” as his military has battled those more powerful proxies of Iran. The Houthi-controlled satellite channel al-Masirah reported multiple deaths and showed broken windows, collapsed ceilings and a bloodstained floor and vehicle. Iran’s foreign ministry condemned the strikes. The US military has also targeted the Houthis in recent days. The UN has said the targeted ports are important entry points for humanitarian aid for Yemen, the poorest Arab nation that plunged into a civil war in 2014. Over the weekend, 16 people were wounded when a Houthi missile hit a playground in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, while other missiles and drones have been shot down. Last week, Israeli jets struck Sanaa and Hodeida, killing nine people, calling it a response to previous Houthi attacks. The Houthis also have been targeting shipping on the Red Sea corridor in what it says is an act of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The UN Security Council has an emergency meeting on Monday in response to an Israeli request that it condemn the Houthi attacks and Iran for supplying them with weapons.Transportadora de Gas del Sur (NYSE:TGS) Trading 3% Higher – Time to Buy?
Divers helping in search for evidence in hunt for New York healthcare CEO killerI hope you had a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas Day. These few days in between Christmas and New Year can really seem to drag on for some people, for others it’s a time for full speed as they may be back in work or rushing around the sales looking for bargains; others are still in full family visiting or hosting mode. Perhaps you’re off to a pantomime or a family night at the cinema. I always use these days as a chance for some self-reflection. As the festive frenzy subsides, it’s a chance to pause, take stock, and contemplate. Self-reflection is a powerful tool that can help us gain insights into ourselves, our experiences, and our goals. By taking the time to look back on the past year, we can identify our successes, learn from our mistakes, and set intentions for the future. So, as we look forward to the next few days of eating turkey sandwiches and eating the last of the chocolates off the tree, why not settle yourself down somewhere, and ponder over the following. • What were the highlights of the past year? Take your time with this one, it’s easy to forget all the good things which have happened over a 12-month long period. Try to allow yourself a few minutes to ‘get in the moment’ and remember all the good things that have happened. • What were the challenges you faced? Life throws lemons at all of us from time to time, so don’t dwell on this one too much. • What lessons did you learn? Thinking back to how you faced those challenges, which ones were you able to bounce back from, and how did you deal with them. Perhaps you surprised yourself with how well you dealt with a certain situation that arose. • What are your hopes and dreams for 2025? This is my favourite one, allow yourself as long as you like to think of all the great things you could do in the year ahead. It’s always good to take some time to reflect, if there is anything you wish you had done differently in the past 12 months, then use it as a guide for the future, not as a source of regret from the past. This will allow you to start to think about the New Year with excitement and purpose. I’ll be back next week, so whatever you are doing on New Year’s Eve, take care and have a good one.

In a statement issued on Thursday, SKM said they wanted to address the situation surrounding Dallewal’s hunger strike and other ‘pressing issues’, including the introduction of a National Policy Framework on Agricultural Marketing. The farmers have been demanding a legal guarantee on minimum support price for their crops. Farmers, under the banner of SKM (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, have been protesting at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana since February 13, after their march to Delhi was blocked by security forces. A ‘jatha’ (group) of 101 farmers attempted to march to Delhi on foot three times between December 6 and 14 but were stopped by security personnel in Haryana. “A delegation of SKM requests an appointment with you at your earliest convenience to share our concerns about the precarious situation and the growing unrest among farmers across the country,” the letter, dated December 25, said. The SKM added that farmers from over 500 districts had submitted memoranda to the President through district magistrates, urging her “urgent intervention” to facilitate discussions between the Union Government and all farmer organizations on the long-standing demands. Dallewal (67) has been on a fast-unto-death at the Khanauri border since November 26, calling on the Centre to address the farmers’ demands including a legally binding minimum support price for crops. According to doctors from an NGO attending to him, he is only consuming water and his condition is “critical.”In addition to a legal guarantee for MSP, the farmers are demanding a debt waiver, pension for farmers and farm laborers, no hike in electricity tariffs, the withdrawal of police cases, and “justice” for the victims of the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
