Developer Frattalone plans 550-acre technology campus, data center near MonticelloLONDON (AP) — West Ham players showed their support for seriously injured teammate Michail Antonio before and during their Premier League home win against Wolverhampton on Monday, two days after his car crash. The players warmed up in “Antonio 9” jerseys and walked on to the field in tops adorning his name. The club will put the walk-out tops up for auction along with every match jersey worn against Wolves, with the proceeds going to medical charities and matched by the club’s board. West Ham fans stood in London Stadium and applauded for Antonio in the ninth, and when captain Jarrod Bowen scored the 2-1 winner in the second half, he approached supporters behind the goal carrying an Antonio jersey. “To share that moment, he's not here with us but I'm sure (Antonio) was watching and the fans, you heard them,” Bowen told broadcaster Sky Sports. “An emotional couple of days.” Before the game, Bowen said, “Everyone loves Mic, he is a big character. “He is not just a teammate, he is a friend and has been for many years. A dad as well to beautiful children. It is one of those things where life is bigger than football. The main thing is Mic is safe and well and here to tell the story. Saturday was a really difficult time. He is a warrior and a fighter, he always has been, and I know he will be back stronger for this." Antonio, a 34-year-old Jamaica international, was recovering in hospital after undergoing surgery on what West Ham described as a “lower limb fracture.” He was involved in a one-car incident outside London on Saturday, after which he was hospitalized and kept under close supervision. He wished the team well by video before the match. Antonio has made more than 300 appearances for West Ham since joining the club from Nottingham Forest in 2015, and played in all 14 games this season before the incident. AP soccer:WASHINGTON (AP) — The House shut down Democrats ’ efforts Thursday to release the long-awaited ethics report into former Rep. Matt Gaetz , pushing the fate of any resolution to the yearslong investigation of sexual misconduct allegations into further uncertainty. The nearly party-line votes came after Democrats had been pressing for the findings to be published even though the Florida Republican left Congress and withdrew as President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general. Republicans have argued that any congressional probe into Gaetz ended when he resigned from the House. Speaker Mike Johnson also requested that the committee not publish its report, saying it would be a terrible precedent to set. While ethics reports have previously been released after a member’s resignation, it is extremely rare. Shortly before the votes took place, Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., who introduced one of the bills to force the release, said that if Republicans reject the release, they will have “succeeded in sweeping credible allegations of sexual misconduct under the rug.” Gaetz has repeatedly denied the claims. Earlier Thursday, the Ethics panel met to discuss the Gaetz report but made no decision, saying in a short statement that the matter is still being discussed. It’s unclear now whether the document will ever see the light of day as lawmakers only have a few weeks left before a new session of Congress begins. It’s the culmination of weeks of pressure on the Ethics committee’s five Republicans and five Democrats who mostly work in secret as they investigate allegations of misconduct against lawmakers. The status of the Gaetz investigation became an open question last month when he abruptly resigned from Congress after Trump’s announcement that he wanted his ally in the Cabinet. It is standard practice for the committee to end investigations when members of Congress depart, but the circumstances surrounding Gaetz were unusual, given his potential role in the new administration. Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss., the committee chairman, said Wednesday that there is no longer the same urgency to release the report given that Gaetz has left Congress and stepped aside as Trump’s choice to head the Justice Department.

He is no longer going to be confirmed by the Senate because he withdrew his nomination to be the attorney general,” Guest said. The Gaetz report has also caused tensions between lawmakers on the bipartisan committee. Pennsylvania Rep. Susan Wild, the top Democrat on the panel, publicly admonished Guest last month for mischaracterizing a previous meeting to the press. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and said last year that the Justice Department’s separate investigation against him into sex trafficking allegations involving underage girls ended without federal charges. His onetime political ally Joel Greenberg , a fellow Republican who served as the tax collector in Florida’s Seminole County, admitted as part of a plea deal with prosecutors in 2021 that he paid women and an underage girl to have sex with him and other men. The men were not identified in court documents when he pleaded guilty. Greenberg was sentenced in late 2022 to 11 years in prison. ___ Related From Our Partner

Whether you're a renter, homeowner or potential buyer in South Florida, the new year may present you with some favorable changes in the housing market, according to real estate experts. This could include better prices in 2025, as well as more options to choose from when deciding where to live, whether that's renting an apartment or buying a house. South Florida will remain a high-cost, high-demand region. But many renters and buyers — both current and prospective — still could look forward to leaving behind a real estate market marked by the presidential election and anxiety about a potential market crash. What's to come Prices have actually begun to level off, by dropping altogether or rising at a rate that isn't as high as it was in previous years, and that is expected to continue into the beginning of 2025. "We're actually seeing this in both the buying and the renting," said David Serle, Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors' president. "We're looking at more renters coming into the market and more buyers coming into the market as they perceive that this is a good time to buy or a good time to rent." In Palm Beach County, for example, the median sale price for a single-family home in October of this year was $621,500, as opposed to being $622,733 in October of 2023, according to data from the Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors. Similarly, the median price for a townhome or condo was $305,000 in October of this year, which is a decrease from the median price in October 2023 of $315,000. "The properties that are priced right and are renovated or new have been still flying off the shelves, and it continues to be a robust market," Serle said. Whitney Dutton, the residential sales director for Native Realty, a South Florida real estate agency, agreed with the notion that prices are becoming more palatable, particularly in the rental market. Dutton used an example of the Waverly, a residential building in Fort Lauderdale, to illustrate this trend. In February, a two-bedroom was renting for about $3,200; now, a two-bedroom at the Waverly is renting for about $3,000, he said. "Between now and in January, yes, I think that prices have absolutely relaxed a little bit," he said. The driver behind the favorable price conditions has a lot to do with increasing inventory and supply. Earlier in the year, more than 14,000 new apartments were forecast to enter the South Florida market by the end of year. And the months' supply of inventory — which is how many months it would take for an area to reach "zero inventory" if no new listings were added — increased in both Palm Beach and Broward counties this year in comparison to 2023, according to the Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors. Homes also are staying on the market longer on average, which means buyers have more flexibility, Dutton said. "If you can put your buyer hat on or your shoes on, you could say, 'Oh OK, I went out and looked at three homes this week, and I didn't really like any of them, but I've been noticing there's more properties coming on. I see more signs up,'" Dutton said. "It completely removes a sense of urgency and fear of loss from the market. And when you remove sense of urgency and fear of loss, the buyer gets to be a little more picky." This "pickiness" can lend itself to more negotiating power for a buyer or renter, Dutton said. "I'm telling a lot of our buyers, don't be afraid to make offers," he said. Edgardo DeFortuna, the president, CEO and founder of Fortune International Group, a South Florida real estate firm, said that even though buyer urgency has slowed, demand has not, and he predicts that will continue into the new year. "The demand has really increased very significantly since the end of the pandemic," he said. "And it continues to a great degree, having a more balanced market, meaning that we have a lot of U.S. buyers in addition to the typical foreign buyer that was always present in the Miami, especially in the South Florida market," he said. He added, "More importantly, people are moving here to both work and reside in, in South Florida. So it's significantly more stable and creating jobs and economic activity." What's getting left behind Dutton believes two primary factors influenced market conditions in 2024: high interest rates and the election. Political speculation led to hesitancy in buyers and sellers, he said, and while people are still waiting to see how the economy might shift under Donald Trump's administration, the real estate market will no longer heave under the weight of an upcoming election. Interest rates have lowered slightly in recent months, and are hovering around the "low-to-mid sixes," Dutton said, and what it's led to is houses taking longer to sell. "Whenever houses are taking longer to sell, sellers get more motivated and buyers get better deals," he said. For the next several months, Dutton doesn't see the market changing much for sellers. "I don't think waiting right now is going to help sellers out. I think if you cannot sell your house today in this market, I don't necessarily know that in six months it's going to be worth 5% more," he said. "If you can sell now, sell now." What's still lacking in both the rental and housing market the most is supply of medium- and low-income housing, DeFortuna said. "We need to try to address that because a lot of the people that are moving to Miami, especially the middle-range people, not the top executives, but the people that are really working in these company need housing and need places to live," he said. DeFortuna is hopeful, though, that initiatives such as Florida's Live Local Act, which provides financial incentives to developers who allocate portions of residential projects to workforce or affordable housing, will help alleviate that problem in the new year. Overall, DeFortuna is optimistic about the state of the real estate market in 2025 with persistent demand, a tapering of prices, rental availability and the announcement of more development projects. "The market is going to continue to do very well here in South Florida," he said.

AP Sports SummaryBrief at 2:48 p.m. ESTThe Philadelphia Eagles (11-2) are one of the hottest teams in the league, but even the hottest teams can play cold. The Eagles won their week 14 home against a surprisingly difficult Carolina Panthers (3-10). There were many areas where the home team struggled in the 22-16 victory. There were some moments on the field and after the game with quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown seemed to not connect. While some might believe drama is once again developing with the Eagles, one football analyst believes it is just bad play that needs to be fixed. The Philadelphia Eagles have a “elementary” offense The Eagles almost lost their nine-game win streak as their offense struggled behind the poor play of the passing game. Hurts completed 14-of-21 of his passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns. The leading receiver of the game Brown, who caught four receptions for 43. On Monday, ESPN’s Get Up crew talked about the dysfunction of the Eagles’ offense, starting with Hurts’ inability to connect with Brown. While analysts Rex Ryan and Damian Woody believe the drama is to blame, Dan Orlovsky believes it is as simple as the passing game not playing well. “Simple, it’s very simple. It’s very elementary. It’s very basic. A.J., let’s take a shot and hit a big play down the field. Yesterday, A.J. Brown got his first catch, his first touch, his first target in the second quarter with 1:26 left on the clock. That’s a problem. “They will have to have a better passing game in the playoffs to go win.” “This is a pass game that has been darn over these past six, seven and eight weeks. They don’t ask a lot out of it. It’s A.J., go win one-on-one. Yesterday, Jalen did not play well when it comes to that play example and for them to win in the playoffs. He cannot replicate what they did yesterday.” Eagles’ weak link It is not hard to believe that the Eagles’ passing offense might be one of the worst units on their team. Considering their running game, the offensive line and the defense is among the most elite units in the NFL, it is not a terrible thing. One of the biggest reasons the Eagles had one of the most efficient offenses in the league is because of the dynamic dual-threat ability of Hurts and the offense. Hurts was dangerous as a passer while in the RPO. As a pure pocket passer, he has had moments where he struggles like connecting on deep passes to Brown. Hurts doesn’t possess a powerful arm to consistently launch the ball down the field, an area that Brown excels in. It is up to head coach Nick Sirianni to create more efficient game plans for Hurts to excel in the passing game. Running back Saquon Barkley has been an MVP campaign based on his dominance and production for the Eagles’ offense. Orlovsky finished his discussion by talking about what has made Philadelphia successful this season. “This win streak has been built on the back of what?” “The running game and the defense” “So the passing game is going to have to get better, it’s not where they want it to be.” This article first appeared on NFL Analysis Network and was syndicated with permission.

(“Terns” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TERN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a portfolio of small-molecule product candidates to address serious diseases, including oncology and obesity, today announced that it has granted as of December 1, 2024 an equity inducement award to a new employee under the terms of the 2022 Employment Inducement Award Plan, as amended (the “Inducement Plan”).

This is the second time the team is seeing Minnesota this season, with the game in Chicago resulting in a Bears comeback that came up just short. It was the first Vikings game this year where players began to lash out against head coach Matt Eberflus The team is amid a seven-game losing streak in which Eberflus was shown the door following the Thanksgiving loss in Detroit. Having Swift and company would be preferred for this Monday night tilt, but the Chicago Bears might need to begin considering what they would do if they are all unable to suit up in week 15. This is Deja Vu for the Chicago Bears’ running backs with limited practice participation Swift and Johnson were both struggling to find their way onto the practice field last week leading up to the road battle against San Francisco. When it came time for the final injury report to come out, it revealed that Swift was good to go, but Johnson was unable to dress. Swift was on the injury report last week due to a tweaked quad, but this week it is a groin issue for the Chicago Bears’ lead back. Johnson suffered a concussion during the Detroit game a couple of weeks ago and it has him in real danger of missing his second straight game. In his absence, veteran special teamer Travis Homer has stepped up in the backup role. With his success as a goal line guy this season, the Chicago Bears would like to have Johnson back in the fold sooner rather than later. The Chicago Bears could be in trouble without Gervon Dexter Dexter is enjoying a fantastic second season in the NFL. The former Florida Gator has had a relatively injury-free campaign up until this point. With the team missing nose tackle Andrew Billings for the rest of the year, they can’t afford to lose any more beef in their defensive front. Through 13 games, Dexter has 23 solo tackles and five sacks as one of the biggest success stories on the Chicago Bears defense this year. With the next best interior lineman being Zacch Pickens , the Chicago Bears will be stretched extremely thin if Dexter cannot go on Monday. These three will get another chance to participate in practice on Saturday before the team makes the trek to Minnesota.
