LINCOLN -- Senior transfer Alberte Rimdal led a balanced Big Red attack with 12 points and a career-high six assists, as No. 25 Nebraska rolled to an 84-65 women's basketball win over previously unbeaten Minnesota in the Big Ten Conference opener for both teams on Sunday afternoon at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Senior Alexis Markowski just missed a double-double with 11 points and a game-high nine rebounds, while Minnesotan Callin Hake added 11 points of her own including a trio of three-pointers to help the Huskers improve to 8-1 overall and 1-0 in the Big Ten. Nebraska also extended its home winning streak to 10 straight games. The Golden Gophers slipped to 10-1 overall and 0-1 in the conference. Amiah Hargrove rounded out the four Huskers in double figures with 10 points and a career-high eight rebounds in just 14 minutes off the bench to lead a hugely productive effort by the Big Red freshmen. Petra Bozan pitched in nine points and five rebounds, while Britt Prince contributed seven points and a career-high seven boards to go along with three assists. As a group, Nebraska's freshmen combined for 26 points and 20 rebounds in 55 total minutes, while Minnesota's four returning starters of Amaya Battle, Mallory Heyer, Sophie Hart and Grace Grocholski combined for 31 points and 20 rebounds in 116 minutes. Logan Nissley contributed eight points, while Kendall Moriarty added seven points in strong efforts. Minnesotan Kendall Coley also pitched in five points and six rebounds in her second consecutive start. Coley scored all five of her points late in the second period to send Nebraska to halftime with a 36-19 lead. Nebraska's 84 points were 28 more than any of the previous 10 Gopher opponents were able to muster, as the Huskers hit 51.7 percent (31-60) of their field goals, including 12-of-28 threes (.429) against a Minnesota squad that had been allowing just 46 points per game. The Big Red also dominated the glass, 49-30, against a Gopher club that entered the game with a plus-8.8 margin on the boards. The Huskers held Minnesota to just 35.2 percent (25-71) shooting for the game, including just 17.9 percent (7-39) in the first half. The Gophers finished 5-for-21 from three-point range after going 1-for-14 in the first half. Minnesota did win the turnover battle, 15-4. Nebraska opened the game on a 12-2 surge that included four points from Markowski, a putback from Nissley and back-to-back threes from Prince and Hake to set the tone for the game. Minnesota rallied to cut the lead to six points at 17-11, before Hargrove sparked a 10-0 run with eight straight points in a 1:09 stretch, including back-to-back three-pointers. Prince capped the run with a bucket at the buzzer to send the Huskers to the second quarter with a 27-11 lead. In a low-scoring second quarter, Minnesota cut the lead to 27-15 with two early baskets before Rimdal scored four straight. Alexsia Rose, who had 10 points in just over 11 minutes off the bench for the Gophers, then scored Minnesota's final four points of the half, while Coley responded with five for the Big Red. Minnesota scored the first two buckets of the third quarter, and eventually trimmed the margin to 46-34 with 3:36 left in the period. However, a Hargrove basket followed by five straight points from Bozan and a three-pointer from Rimdal capped a 10-1 surge that gave Nebraska its first 20-point of the game at 56-35 with 1:45 left in the quarter and forced a Minnesota timeout. Nebraska took a 21-point lead to the fourth and built the margin to 28 points, the last time on Moriarty's three-point play with 5:28 left to make it 74-46. All 11 Huskers scored at least one point and grabbed at least one rebound in the game, while Minnesota played just eight players. Heyer led the Gophers with 12 points and eight rebounds, while Tori McKinney added 11 points. Grocholski and Rose both pitched in 10 points, while former Husker Annika Stewart added nine points, including seven points in the final five minutes to help pull the Gophers within 20 at the buzzer.They have seen him smiling on a hostel security camera, but don’t know his name . They found the backpack he discarded while fleeing, but don’t know where he's gone. As the search for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer goes on, investigators are reckoning with a tantalizing dichotomy: They have troves of evidence, but the shooter remains an enigma. Police don’t know who he is, where he is, or why he did it, though they are confident it was a targeted attack instead of a random act. “The net is tightening,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Saturday. Hours after he spoke, police divers were seen searching a pond in Central Park, where the killer fled after the shooting. Officers have been scouring the park for days for any possible clues and found his bag there Friday. Late Saturday, police released two additional photos of the suspected shooter that appeared to be from a camera mounted inside a taxi. The first shows him outside the vehicle and the second shows him looking through the partition between the back seat and the front of the cab. In both, his face is partially obscured by a blue, medical-style mask. Retracing the gunman’s steps using surveillance video, police say, it appears he left the city by bus soon after the shooting Wednesday morning outside the New York Hilton Midtown. He was seen on video at an uptown bus station about 45 minutes later, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. With the high-profile search expanding across state lines, the FBI announced late Friday that it was offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, adding to a reward of up to $10,000 that the NYPD has offered. Police say they believe the suspect acted alone. Police provided no updates on the hunt Saturday, but investigators are urging patience — even with a killer on the loose. Hundreds of detectives are combing through video recordings and social media, vetting tips from the public and interviewing people who might have information, including Thompson’s family and coworkers and the shooter’s randomly assigned roommates at the Manhattan hostel where he stayed. “This isn’t ‘Blue Bloods.’ We’re not going to solve this in 60 minutes," Kenny told reporters Friday. “We’re painstakingly going through every bit of evidence that we can come across.” The shooter paid cash at the hostel, presented what police believe was a fake ID and is believed to have paid cash for taxi rides and other transactions. He didn't speak to others at the hostel and almost always kept his face covered with a mask, only lowering it while eating. But investigators caught a break when they came across security camera images of an unguarded moment in which he briefly showed his face soon after arriving in New York on Nov. 24. Police distributed the images to news outlets and on social media but so far haven't been able to ID him using facial recognition — possibly because of the angle of the images or limitations on how the NYPD is allowed to use that technology, Kenny said. On Friday evening, investigators found a backpack in Central Park that had been worn by the gunman, police said. They didn’t immediately reveal what, if anything, it contained but said it would be tested and analyzed. Another potential clue, a fingerprint on an item he purchased at a Starbucks minutes before the shooting, has so far proven useless for identifying him, Kenny said. Aided by surveillance cameras on nearly every building and block, police have been able to retrace the shooter’s movements. They know he ambushed Thompson at 6:44 a.m. as the executive arrived at the Hilton for his company’s annual investor conference, using a 9 mm pistol that resembled the guns farmers use to put down animals without causing a loud noise. They know ammunition found near Thompson’s body bore the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose,” mimicking a phrase used by insurance industry critics . Kenny said the fact that the shooter knew UnitedHealthcare group was holding a conference at the hotel and what route Thompson might take to get there suggested that he could possibly be a disgruntled employee or client. Investigators know from surveillance video that the shooter fled into Central Park on a bicycle and ditched it around 7 a.m. near 85th Street. He then walked a couple blocks and got into a taxi, arriving at 7:30 a.m. at the George Washington Bridge Bus Station, which is near the northern tip of Manhattan and offers commuter service to New Jersey and Greyhound routes to Philadelphia, Boston and Washington. Investigators don't know what happened next. They are searching through more surveillance video but have yet to locate video of the shooter getting on a bus or exiting the station. “We have reason to believe that the person in question has left New York City,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told CNN on Friday. Police have determined from video that the gunman was in the city for 10 days before the shooting. He arrived at Manhattan’s main bus terminal on a Greyhound bus that originated in Atlanta, though it's not clear whether he embarked there or at one of about a half-dozen stops along the route. Immediately after that, he took a cab to the vicinity of the Hilton and was there for about a half hour, Kenny said. At around 11 p.m. on the night he arrived, he went by taxi to the HI New York City Hostel. It was there, while speaking with an employee in the lobby, that he briefly pulled down the mask and smiled, giving investigators the brief glimpse they are now relying on to identify and capture a killer.Nasdaq Announces Mid-Month Open Short Interest Positions in Nasdaq Stocks as of Settlement Date December 13, 2024
Special to the Gazette The City of Boston has announced a new program to support Boston homeowners in building Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on their property. This initiative, administered by the Boston Home Center (BHC), a division of the Mayor’s Office of Housing, offers a new bank loan option alongside grants and other financial assistance to help cover costs related to designing, permitting, and building an ADU. Additionally, the Planning Department is releasing an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Guidebook, an illustrated manual that will help property owners in Boston who may want to build an ADU on their property. This book is available online, and in all Boston Public Library branches. Building on the Mayor’s leadership to make Boston a home for everyone, these steps are important to increasing the City’s multigenerational housing stock, keeping families together and building wealth. “Accessory Dwelling Units are a powerful tool in our efforts to address the housing crisis in Boston,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “By creating more flexible and affordable living options, ADUs allow homeowners to maximize their property while contributing to the availability of housing in our neighborhoods. This initiative not only supports families looking to generate extra income or house loved ones but also strengthens our communities with more diverse and accessible housing choices.” Through the loan programs, the BHC provides income-eligible owners of 1-3 unit homes who plan to add an ADU with a Technical Assistant Grant of up to $7,500. This grant provides eligible homeowners with targeted funding and staff guidance throughout the pre-construction phases of researching, designing, and permitting their ADU. Additionally, homeowners can apply for an ADU Loan from the City of up to $50,000 to support construction costs. The ADU Loan carries 0% interest and is deferred, meaning there are no monthly payments. Homeowners approved for this program are paired with a BHC Construction Specialist who monitors progress throughout the building process. Eligible homeowners who receive an ADU Loan may also explore additional financing opportunities with participating lenders. To qualify for the program, applicants must meet specific income and asset limits. “Accessory Dwelling Units are an important part of our strategy to expand housing options in Boston,” said Sheila A. Dillon, Chief of Housing. “ADUs give homeowners a way to create additional living spaces that can serve as a source of income, provide housing for family members, and help address the city’s housing needs. By making it easier to build ADUs, we are supporting residents, increasing housing supply, and strengthening neighborhoods.” As part of this effort, the City is also piloting a new ADU Bank Loan in partnership with local banks, Leader Bank, Dedham/Southshore Bank, Needham Bank, and the Cooperative Bank. Recognizing the challenges posed by construction expenses, the Boston Home Center and the Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics initiated a collaboration with Harvard’s Laboratory for Values in the Built Environment and local lending institutions to develop innovative solutions that ensure low- and moderate- income homeowners can access the unique benefits ADUs provide. This resulting loan fills a gap in the market, providing affordable financing to cover construction costs associated with building ADUs. Our research shows that homeowners need new loan products to meet the unique opportunity that rental ADUs can offer homeowners, and provide equitable access to ADU financing,” said Charu Singh, Research Associate at the Laboratory for Values in the Built Environment at Harvard GSD. “I’m proud of the groundbreaking work our group has done to equitably expand the lending toolbox, especially during this time when Boston is struggling with too few housing options and high costs.” Building on Mayor Wu’s commitment to remove barriers to building ADUs across Boston’s neighborhoods, the ADU Guidebook is designed to provide homeowners with practical guidance and inspiration for adding an ADU to their property, whether it is for additional living space, rental income, or housing family members. The ADU Guidebook features realistic, buildable designs tailored to Boston’s neighborhoods. Although the designs will still require permits and may need review by the Zoning Board of Appeal, they offer a clear starting point to help residents more easily move forward with their ADU. It will be available online and at all Boston Public Library branches. “This Guidebook is a fantastic starting point for anyone looking to add another unit to their home, and we hope it will inspire people to see ADUs as an expedient and unique way to add to our housing stock,” said Chief of Planning Kairos Shen. “I look forward to working with the community on new complementary zoning that will make the process of adding an ADU more flexible and affordable.” These initiatives align with the City’s broader zoning reform efforts to enable more housing options across Boston. By updating zoning regulations, the City aims to break down barriers and foster flexible housing solutions. ADUs not only help increase the housing stock but also offer residents opportunities to age in place, provide extra space for growing families, or generate rental income. ADUs can help residents stay in their neighborhoods, adapt their homes, and address their evolving needs. By allowing various forms of ADUs, the City aims to help homeowners fully utilize their properties, create more space, or unlock new income opportunities. Founded in 2010 as one of the first municipal innovation offices in the world, the Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics serves as the City’s civic research and design team, building partnerships between internal and external agencies to pilot projects that increase the quality of life for all of Boston’s residents and visitors. The City of Boston’s Planning Department shapes growth that serves Boston’s residents and centers their needs. Our mission is to address our City’s greatest challenges: resilience, affordability, and equity, and to take real estate actions and prioritize planning, development, and urban design solutions that further these priorities. We seek to build trust with communities through transparent processes that embrace predictable growth and shape a more inclusive city for all.John Fleming Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save Treasury Secretary John Fleming announced Wednesday he is beginning a campaign to unseat U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, who is up for reelection in two years . In his statement, Fleming highlighted Cassidy’s biggest vulnerability as he seeks a third term in the Senate — his vote to convict former President Donald Trump of inciting an attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. “A number of Republicans walked away from President Trump in the last year of his first term,” Fleming said. “But those who turned their backs on him and America First were not committed to his fight to make America great again. Louisiana citizens did not give up on this fight.” Cassidy took a swing back at Fleming, a fellow Republican. “I thought he wanted to be State Treasurer?” Cassidy’s campaign said. “John Fleming wants to get out of Louisiana. He publicly said he wanted a job in the Trump administration, and apparently they didn’t want him. So after less than a year as state Treasurer, he’s looking for another job to return to Washington.” Fleming becomes the first of perhaps several big-name Republicans who will challenge Cassidy. Other potential candidates include U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, who represents Acadiana; Public Service Commissioner Eric Skrmetta, who represents suburban New Orleans; and U.S. Rep. Garret Graves of Baton Rouge, who will leave office in January. Anyone who challenges Cassidy will be betting that Trump will seek to deny him a third term because of the senator’s 2021 vote to convict him. The former president’s critics have called that vote a principled decision. But it angered Trump and his supporters in Louisiana and led the Louisiana Republican Party to censure Cassidy. Cassidy was also the only Republican member of the Louisiana delegation who voted to certify Joe Biden’s election as president in two contested states. Trump has repeatedly ripped Cassidy . “One of the worst Senators in the United States Senate is, without question, Bill Cassidy, A TOTAL FLAKE, Republican though he may be,” Trump wrote in April on Truth Social, his social media platform. Cassidy has given every indication that he is fighting to keep his job. Cassidy has been working steadily to rehabilitate himself among Republicans, endorsing Jeff Landry in last year’s governor’s race and bashing the Biden administration in speeches throughout the state. He also regularly takes credit for many federally funded highway and internet broadband projects because he was one of the seven Republicans who supported Biden’s $1 trillion bill. Cassidy’s campaign and a super PAC supporting him have raised more than $7 million, and he is positioned to raise millions more because he will assume a powerful perch as chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Fleming is challenging Cassidy from the right, criticizing him for supporting some major Biden policies. “I will fight to bring real, conservative solutions to the U.S. Senate,” Fleming said. “I will not cut and run on these conservative principles, and I will stand and work with President Trump like I have many times before.” Fleming, a retired family doctor from Minden, represented northwest Louisiana in the U.S. House from 2009-17, giving up his seat in 2016 to make a failed run for a U.S. Senate seat won by then-Treasurer John Kennedy. Fleming went on to hold several senior positions in the Trump administration and was elected treasurer in 2023. One of his opponents in that race , then-state Rep. Scott McKnight, said Fleming only wanted the job as a springboard to run for the Senate. While in the House, Fleming co-founded the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, a group that has attacked successive Republican speakers as being too accommodating to Democrats and for not taking an ax to domestic spending programs. This year, Fleming called on Landry and the Legislature to eliminate the state income tax. But he didn’t detail how to make up the lost revenue, either by raising other taxes or reducing government services. Louisiana will have a closed primary system beginning in 2026, meaning that Democrats will not be able to vote for Republican candidates in that election. Independents can vote in either party primary, however. A spokesperson for Higgins declined to comment on Fleming’s announcement. Skrmetta is expected to decide whether to run during the first half of 2025, a spokesperson for him said. Graves is currently angling to become the next head of FEMA under Trump.Cricket-Australia's Head declared fit for Boxing Day test v India
Liverpool Predicted Lineup Vs Fulham for December 14Global stocks mostly pushed higher on Tuesday in thin Christmas Eve trade, as investors waited to see if a so-called Santa Claus rally would sweep the market. "Santa Claus comes tonight, but if stock market participants are lucky he will start sprinkling some gifts today, which marks the official start to the 'Santa Claus rally' period," said Briefing.com analyst Patrick O'Hare. US stock markets have traditionally fared well in the last five trading days of the year and the first two in the new year, with experts advancing a number of possible reasons as to why -- including the festive holiday mood and purchasing ahead of the end of the tax year. Wall Street opened modestly higher on the first day of this seven-day stretch and picked up speed as the session progressed. The S&P 500 finished up 1.1 percent. While gains were broad-based, some of the biggest positive moves came from tech heavyweights like Facebook parent Meta, Netflix and Amazon, all of which won more than one percent. "There's a pretty fair amount of enthusiasm for momentum" stocks, said Jack Ablin, of Cresset Capital, who also noted that low trading volumes amplified the trend. In Europe, Paris's CAC 40 closed higher in a pre-holiday short session while Frankfurt was closed all day. London also closed in the green, despite a week clouded by lackluster economic data that is "stoking concerns about the UK's slowing momentum heading into the new year," said Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. Hong Kong and Shanghai stock markets closed up over one percent, as China announced fresh fiscal measures to boost its ailing economy. On Tuesday, state media reported that China will raise its deficit in order to boost spending next year, as the world's second-largest economy battles sluggish domestic consumption, a property crisis and soaring government debt. Among individual companies, Honda shares closed more than 12 percent higher after the Japanese auto giant announced a buyback of up to 1.1 trillion yen ($7 billion), as it enters merger talks with struggling rival Nissan. The talks between Honda and Nissan could create the world's third-largest automaker, expanding development of EVs and self-driving tech. Honda's CEO insisted it was not a bailout for Nissan, which announced thousands of job cuts last month and reported a 93 percent plunge in first-half net profit.

Last Saturday, November 30, the young artist returned to the stage and offered his fans the energy and passion that characterize him. He even joked about his disappearance. “I want to clarify that I was not lost,” the entertainer told him. “On a party,” added his partner before he sang ‘A Thousand Nights’. “He is with us! Jhair, you’re back where you belong. The stages continue to shine along with your energy and madness. Thank you all today Jhair is with us,” commented the cumbia group. What happened to singer Jhair Ylanzo? Ylanzo, 25, had disappeared on November 24, causing concern among his family and followers. On November 27, La Resistencia del Perú launched a call to the community to help find the young artist. In its message, the orchestra expressed its concern for the integrity of the vocalist, who had given a presentation in Cajamarca.

Join our entertainment channelPrince Andrew has said he "ceased all contact" with a businessman accused of being a Chinese spy after receiving advice from the government. In a statement, his office said Prince Andrew had met the man "through official channels" and there was "nothing of a sensitive nature ever discussed". The alleged spy has been banned from the UK following a judgement by the UK's semi-secret national security court. The man, known only as H6, was described in court as a "close confidant" of Prince Andrew who had formed an "unusual degree of trust" with the duke. In 2023, H6 brought an appeal against his initial ban but the decision has been upheld by the court. Judges were told the businessman was attempting to leverage Prince Andrew's influence. The duke's office said he was "unable to comment further on matters relating to national security". His statement did not specify when he ceased contact with the man nor the duration of their communications. Buckingham Palace declined to comment, saying they do not act for the prince, who is not a working royal. China's embassy in the UK has denied the espionage claim saying "some individuals in the UK are always eager to fabricate baseless 'spy' stories targeting China". "Their purpose is to smear China and disrupt normal exchanges between Chinese and British personnel," a spokesperson for the embassy said. In March 2023, the man referred to as H6 brought his case to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission, a court set up to consider appeals against decisions to ban or remove someone from the country on national security or related grounds. In the published ruling , the judge said the former Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, was "entitled to conclude that [H6] represented a risk to the national security of the United Kingdom" and that the home secretary was "entitled to conclude that his exclusion was justified and proportionate". The ruling makes clear that the man had been subjected to the highest levels of national security investigation as someone that the UK's intelligence agencies feared was seeking influence over a member of the Royal Family. The court was told that H6 was invited to Prince Andrew's birthday party in 2020 and was told he could act on his behalf when dealing with potential investors in China. It is not clear how H6 became close to the prince, but in November 2021 police officers stopped and questioned him at the UK border under powers to investigate suspicions of "hostile activity" by a foreign state. During that stop H6 surrendered a number of electronic devices including a mobile phone. What officers found on them so concerned the security service MI5, that Braverman used her exceptional powers to ban H6 from the country. In a letter found on one of his devices, H6 was told by Dominic Hampshire, an adviser to Prince Andrew: "Outside of [the prince's] closest internal confidants, you sit at the very top of a tree that many, many people would like to be on." Mr Hampshire adds: "Under your guidance, we found a way to get the relevant people unnoticed in and out of the house in Windsor." No further details about who the "relevant people" were are given in the excerpt from the letter included in the ruling. Mr Hampshire also confirmed to H6 that he could act for Prince Andrew in talks "with potential partners and investors in China". A document listing "main talking points" for a call with Prince Andrew was also found. It states: "IMPORTANT: Manage expectations. Really important to not set 'too high' expectations - he is in a desperate situation and will grab onto anything." The court assessed that this meant H6 was in a position "to generate relationships between senior Chinese officials and prominent UK figures which could be leveraged for political interference purposes by the Chinese State". Security chiefs feared Beijing was attempting to run an "elite capture" operation to influence the Duke of York because of the pressure he was under, a tactic which aims to appoint high profile individuals to Chinese businesses, think tanks or universities. H6 was subsequently informed that he was believed by UK authorities to be associated with the United Front Work Department (UFWD), an arm of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tasked with conducting influence operations. The ruling said MI5's Director General, Ken McCallum had expressed concern about the threat posed to the UK by political interference by China and that bodies such as the UFWD were "mounting patient, well-funded, deceptive campaigns to buy and exert influence". The Home Office said they believed H6 had been engaged in covert and deceptive activity on behalf of the CCP and that his relationship with Prince Andrew could be used for political interference. Upholding Braverman's decision, the judges said H6 had won an "unusual degree of trust from a senior member of the Royal Family who was prepared to enter into business activities with him". They added that the relationship had developed at a time when the prince was "under considerable pressure" which "could make him vulnerable to the misuse of that sort of influence". The prince faced increasing scrutiny from late 2019 over his friendship with the late US financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which included his infamous Newsnight interview in November of that year.
