CIBC Asset Management Inc Buys Shares of 3,691 Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:HALO)New York Rangers Analyst Larry Brooks goes off on the Rangers and the mishandling of forward Matt Rempe this season. It has been a tough season for Rempe. He has bounced between the NHL and AHL several times, getting into just four games with the Rangers so far. That being said, his fortunes may be changing tonight. According to Rangers reporter Larry Brooks, Rempe appears to be drawing into the lineup tonight against the New Jersey Devils with Jimmy Vesey being a healthy scratch. In the same post, Brooks called out the Rangers for their treatment of Rempe this season. Constantly sending him up and down from the AHL to the NHL and not letting him get into a groove at either level seems to be having a negative impact on his performance. In 12 games at the AHL level, he has just 2 goals and 3 points, along with 9 penalty minutes. The 22-year-old has 7 penalty minutes and zero points in 4 games with the Rangers. That being said, many Rangers fans are happy with the way things have gone with Rempe so far this season. If anything, a lot of fans seem to think that he should not be in the lineup at all, ever. Other fans have pointed out how unfair it is that he keeps getting moved between the two clubs. Not only is it hard to find your game when you are constantly switching teams, but it must be mentally and emotionally exhausting as well. Rempe deserves a better fate that that. So while Rangers fans may disagree as to what is best for the team in terms of Rempe's deployment, they all seem to agree on one thing. Whether he stays in the NHL or gets sent down to the AHL, it would be best for everyone involved to give him some consistency. After all, Rempe was at his best last season during a long stretch in the AHL where he scored 8 goals and 12 points in 43 games. If there isn't a spot for him in the show right now, the Rangers should just let him cook with the Hartford Wolf Pack. Otherwise, he may never be able to turn into a consistent player at the NHL level. This article first appeared on Blade of Steel and was syndicated with permission.
Armed men open fire on journalists during reopening of Haiti hospitalMEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico has been taking a bashing lately for allegedly serving as a conduit for Chinese parts and products into North America, and officials here are afraid a re-elected Donald Trump or politically struggling Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could try to leave their country out of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement. Mexico’s ruling Morena party is so afraid of losing the trade deal that President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday the government has gone on a campaign to get companies to replace Chinese parts with locally made ones.

Miami (Ohio), Colorado State take adjustments into Arizona Bowl
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots are focused on the future following their 25-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts . The Patriots (3-10) were officially eliminated from playoff contention with the loss Sunday, meaning that this week’s bye in many ways will begin the process of the coaching staff and front office evaluating the roster for 2025. The good news is that this group has shown plenty of grit this season, playing seven games that were decided by one score. The bad news is that the Patriots are just 2-5 in those games. Though New England’s bye comes late in the season, coach Jerod Mayo said the timing is perfect for a team that is feeling the effects of its shortcomings . “A much-needed bye week, not only physically for the players but also mentally, just being able to hit the reset button and come back, put some good games together and continue to build for the future,” Mayo said. “That has to be our goal.” Tight end Austin Hooper said the seed that needs to be planted over the final four games is finding a way to limit the mistakes — namely penalties and trouble finishing drives — that have hampered the offense throughout the season. “We’ve got to execute at a higher level. We can’t beat a team before you stop hurting yourself,” Hooper said. “It’s not for lack of effort, just things that happen out there that get you scars in this league.” What’s working This was the most balanced performance by the offense this season, with 222 passing yards and a season-high 200 yards rushing. It shows progress under new coordinator Alex Van Pelt, which is something to build on over the final four games. The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Get the poll delivered straight to your inbox with AP Top 25 Poll Alerts. Sign up here . What needs help Red zone efficiency. It continues to be the most glaring deficiency for the Patriots’ offense. They were 2 of 6 on Sunday and rank 30th in the NFL, scoring a touchdown only 44.7% (17 of 38) of the time inside the 20-yard line. Stock up TE Hunter Henry. He finished with seven catches for 75 yards, which is his seventh game this season with five or more receptions. He leads the team this season with 58 catches for 610 yards and continues to be a dependable option for quarterback Drake May as he navigates his rookie season. Stock down K Joey Slye. He made 3 of his 5 field-goal attempts, including a 54-yarder in the second quarter. Most of the conversation following the game was about his NFL record-long 68-yard attempt that came up short as time expired. But because of the 1-point loss, he was lamenting the 25-yard attempt he missed wide left just before halftime. “I take full responsibility for this,” Slye said. “Every point for this team matters with how we play complementary football with offense, defense and special teams. So, whenever I am out there, I have got to score points.” Injuries Henry left the game in the first quarter after a helmet-to-helmet hit. He was able to return in the second quarter and finished the game. Key number 7 — Number of penalties called on the Patriots, costing them 88 yards. Five penalties (four accepted) were called on the offensive line. That included one for holding on Mike Onwenu that nullified a touchdown run by Rhamondre Stevenson in the first quarter and forced New England to settle for a field goal. Next steps The Patriots have a bye this week. They visit the Arizona Cardinals on Dec. 15. ___ AP NFL coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLGalveston County Child Support Lawyer Lacey Richmond Addresses Child Support Needs in a New Article
Caitlin Clark honored as AP Female Athlete of the Year following her impact on women's sports Caitlin Clark has been named the AP Female Athlete of the Year after raising the profile of women’s basketball to unprecedented levels in both college and the WNBA. She led Iowa to the national championship game, was the top pick in the WNBA draft and captured rookie of the year honors in the league. Fans packed sold-out arenas and millions of television viewers followed her journey on and off the court. Clark's exploits also put other women's sports leagues in the spotlight. A group of 74 sports journalists from AP and its members voted on the award. Other athletes who received votes included Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and boxer Imane Khelif. Clark’s only the fourth women’s basketball player to win the award since it was first given in 1931. Soprano Angel Blue sings her first Metropolitan Opera 'Aida' in a new production Angel Blue, one of the most admired singers of her generation, is headlining the Metropolitan Opera’s first new production of Verdi’s “Aida” in 36 years. The 40-year-old takes on the title role of the enslaved Ethiopian princess torn between love for an Egyptian warrior and loyalty to her country. It’s a part that comes weighted with history, especially for a Black soprano at the Met, where Leontyne Price embodied the role from her first performance in 1961 until her retirement in 1985. Blue tells The Associated Press she’s long looked up to Price, and directors who have worked with her say the singer is ready for the challenge. Blue’s Met debut in ‘Aida’ will happen New Year’s Eve. Centuries-old angels uncovered at Boston church made famous by Paul Revere BOSTON (AP) — Conservators have uncovered eight angels in a historic Boston church that counted Paul Revere as a bell ringer and played a pivotal role in the Revolutionary War. The angels were painted in the early 18th century but painted over in 1912 as part of a renovation of the Old North Church. Inspired by research showing the existence of at least 20 angels, conservators for the past four months have been removing the white paint that covered the eight angels located on the balcony's arches in the church sanctuary. The public is now able to view them. Swiss Olympic snowboarder Sophie Hediger dies in avalanche, aged 26 Swiss Olympic snowboarder Sophie Hediger has died following an avalanche at a mountain resort.

Magic and lights draw crowds to an alpine village in Washington state for Christmas LEAVENWORTH, Wash. (AP) — Freshly baked pretzels, shining tree lights and sleds in the snow lend a ruddy warmth to an unlikely collection of Bavarian-themed chalets in the mountains of Washington state. Decades ago, the town of Leavenworth was a near ghost town, one of the poorest parts of the Pacific Northwest. The mines and the sawmill had closed, and even the railroad left. That’s when desperate business owners took a serious gamble -- reinventing the community in the vision of an alpine village. More than half a century later, the result brings tourists from near and far -- especially during the holidays, when Leavenworth takes on the flavor of a German Christmas market.

Packers clinch playoff berth with 1st shutout in NFL this season, 34-0 over Saints GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Josh Jacobs gained 107 yards from scrimmage and scored a touchdown for a sixth straight game as the Green Bay Packers clinched a playoff berth while producing the first shutout of the NFL season, 34-0 over the hapless New Orleans Saints. Green Bay improved to 11-4 and earned its fifth postseason appearance in six years. New Orleans played without injured quarterback Derek Carr and running back Alvin Kamara. Rookie Spencer Rattler started and went 15 of 30 for 153 yards with an interception and a fumble. The Packers have won nine of their last 11 games. Prosecutors withdraw appeal of dismissed case against Alec Baldwin in fatal movie set shooting SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico prosecutors won’t pursue an appeal of a court’s decision to dismiss an involuntary manslaughter charge against Alec Baldwin. The actor had been charged in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal on a movie set outside Santa Fe in October 2021. Special Prosecutor Kari Morrissey withdrew on Monday the appeal of a July decision at trial to dismiss the charge. The decision to drop the appeal solidifies the decision by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer halfway through trial to dismiss the case on allegations that police and prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense. An all-Filipino crew is set to make history in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race SYDNEY (AP) — There have been plenty of “firsts” in the history of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race which was first held in 1945. An all-Filipino crew of 15 sailors will make it another when the annual ocean classic begins in Sydney Harbor on Thursday. With veteran sailor Ernesto Echauz at the helm, Centennial 7 will embark on the 628-nautical mile race. The boat itself is no stranger to the race. Previously, the TP52 yacht was known as Celestial and claimed the Sydney to Hobart overall handicap victory in 2022 under Sam Haynes after being runner-up the year before.But alongside his stark warning of the threats facing Britain and its allies, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said there would be only a “remote chance” Russia would directly attack or invade the UK if the two countries were at war. The Chief of the Defence Staff laid out the landscape of British defence in a wide-ranging speech, after a minister warned the Army would be wiped out in as little as six months if forced to fight a war on the scale of the Ukraine conflict. The admiral cast doubt on the possibility as he gave a speech at the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) defence think tank in London. He told the audience Britain needed to be “clear-eyed in our assessment” of the threats it faces, adding: “That includes recognising that there is only a remote chance of a significant direct attack or invasion by Russia on the United Kingdom, and that’s the same for the whole of Nato.” Moscow “knows the response will be overwhelming”, he added, but warned the nuclear deterrent needed to be “kept strong and strengthened”. Sir Tony added: “We are at the dawn of a third nuclear age, which is altogether more complex. It is defined by multiple and concurrent dilemmas, proliferating nuclear and disruptive technologies and the almost total absence of the security architectures that went before.” He listed the “wild threats of tactical nuclear use” by Russia, China building up its weapon stocks, Iran’s failure to co-operate with a nuclear deal, and North Korea’s “erratic behaviour” among the threats faced by the West. But Sir Tony said the UK’s nuclear arsenal is “the one part of our inventory of which Russia is most aware and has more impact on (President Vladimir) Putin than anything else”. Successive British governments had invested “substantial sums of money” in renewing nuclear submarines and warheads because of this, he added. The admiral described the deployment of thousands of North Korean soldiers on Ukraine’s border alongside Russian forces as the year’s “most extraordinary development”. He also signalled further deployments were possible, speaking of “tens of thousands more to follow as part of a new security pact with Russia”. Defence minister Alistair Carns earlier said a rate of casualties similar to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would lead to the army being “expended” within six to 12 months. He said it illustrated the need to “generate depth and mass rapidly in the event of a crisis”. In comments reported by Sky News, Mr Carns, a former Royal Marines colonel, said Russia was suffering losses of around 1,500 soldiers killed or injured a day. “In a war of scale – not a limited intervention, but one similar to Ukraine – our Army for example, on the current casualty rates, would be expended – as part of a broader multinational coalition – in six months to a year,” Mr Carns said in a speech at Rusi. He added: “That doesn’t mean we need a bigger Army, but it does mean you need to generate depth and mass rapidly in the event of a crisis.” Official figures show the Army had 109,245 personnel on October 1, including 25,814 volunteer reservists. Mr Carns, the minister for veterans and people, said the UK needed to “catch up with Nato allies” to place greater emphasis on the reserves. The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said Defence Secretary John Healey had previously spoken about “the state of the armed forces that were inherited from the previous government”. The spokesman said: “It’s why the Budget invested billions of pounds into defence, it’s why we’re undertaking a strategic defence review to ensure that we have the capabilities and the investment needed to defend this country.”With the transfer portal taking big bites out of its offense and certain spots on the defense, Arkansas will turn to some fresh faces to make key contributions Friday night when it meets Texas Tech in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn. After going 6-6, a two-game improvement over 2023, the Razorbacks have experienced some roster turbulence since the transfer portal activated two weeks ago. Among their big losses on offense were second-leading receiver Isaiah Sategna, center Addison Nichols and guards Joshua Braun and Patrick Kutas. In addition, leading rusher Ja'Quinden Jackson (790 yards, 15 touchdowns) and top receiver Andrew Armstrong, who led the Southeastern Conference with 1,140 yards, opted out of the bowl game. The defense waved goodbye to safety TJ Metcalf and linebacker Brad Spence. However, the remaining players don't intend to let the departures deter them from their task of sealing a winning season in front of what should be a huge contingent of Arkansas fans that figure to make a relatively short trip into west Tennessee. "Going 7-6 with a winning record would be good," linebacker Stephen Dix said. "At the end of the day, we know that we're capable of so much more ... look back at the games and the coaches showed us how small the margins was for our losses against really good teams." The Razorbacks figure to build their attack around quarterback Taylen Green (2,812 passing yards, 13 touchdowns). The Boise State transfer also rushed for 521 yards and seven scores. Isaac TeSlaa (25 catches, 439 yards) is his top returning receiver for the bowl game. Texas Tech's departures since finishing an 8-4 regular season are impactful if not quite as numerous. The chief hole on the depth chart is at quarterback as Behren Morton (shoulder surgery) and his 3,335 yards and 27 TD passes will be on the sidelines. In addition, leading receiver Josh Kelly (89 catches, 1,023 yards) opted out in favor of getting an early jump on preparing for a potential NFL career. The status of leading rusher Tahj Brooks, who compiled 1,505 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns, could be a game-time decision, according to coach Joey McGuire. Brooks has been at every practice leading up to the bowl but has pondered opting out. McGuire said other players who have entered the portal are being allowed to play in the bowl since they have done a lot for the program this year. "If he does play," McGuire said of Brooks, "of course that's going to be incredible. If he doesn't, then we're going to see (freshman running backs) J'Koby Williams and Cam Dickey." Freshman Will Hammond, who in limited duty has completed 15 of 23 passes for 191 yards with a touchdown, will start at quarterback. He will have the services of second-leading receiver Caleb Douglas, who caught a career-high 55 passes for 762 yards and six scores. Arkansas is listed as a two-point favorite despite the Red Raiders boasting wins over CFP quarterfinalist Arizona State and Iowa State. The Razorbacks' best win came in October against Tennessee, which reached the CFP but lost to Ohio State in the first round. Arkansas owns a 29-8 advantage in the series of former Southwest Conference rivals, although Texas Tech won the last meeting 35-24 in 2015. --Field Level Media

Holstein left two games within the past month with apparent head injuries. He departed the Panthers' 41-13 win over Syracuse on Oct. 24 after taking a hit on a run, but he played the following week in a 48-25 loss to then-No. 20 SMU. Against Virginia the next week, he left with an apparent head injury while sliding at the end of a run in a 24-19 loss. Holstein dressed but did not play last Saturday in the Panthers' third straight loss, when then-No. 17 Clemson scored a touchdown with 1:16 remaining to win 24-20. Holstein was medically cleared earlier in the week but Pitt (7-3, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) coach Pat Narduzzi told reporters Thursday he wasn't sure who would be starting. "I don't know, it's a great question, we'll see ... we'll see," Narduzzi said at his weekly news conference. "And again, it's still a work in progress. He's cleared to play right now, so we'll see game time." Holstein won the starting job in training camp. A transfer from Alabama, Holstein has a completion rate of 61.9 percent (177 of 286) and has thrown for 2,177 yards with 17 TDs and six interceptions in nine games. He is also Pitt's second-leading rusher with 323 yards and three touchdowns. Nate Yarnell started against Clemson and completed 34 of 54 pass attempts for 350 yards. --Field Level Media REUTERS
