(AP) — A U.S. senator has called for mysterious drones spotted flying at night over sensitive areas in New Jersey and other parts of the Mid-Atlantic region to be “shot down, if necessary,” even as it remains unclear who owns the unmanned aircraft. “We should be doing some very urgent intelligence analysis and take them out of the skies, especially if they’re flying over airports or military bases,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said Thursday, as concerns about the drones spread across Capitol Hill. People in the New York region are also concerned that the drones may be sharing airspace with commercial airlines, he said, demanding more transparency from the Biden administration. The White House said Thursday that a review of the reported sightings shows that many of them are actually manned aircraft being flown lawfully. White House National Security spokesman John Kirby said there were no reported sightings in any restricted airspace. He said the U.S. Coast Guard has not uncovered any foreign involvement from coastal vessels. “We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat, or have a foreign nexus,” Kirby said, echoing statements from the Pentagon and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy. Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh has said they are not U.S. military drones. In a joint statement issued Thursday afternoon, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security said they and their federal partners, in close coordination with the New Jersey State Police, “continue to deploy personnel and technology to investigate this situation and confirm whether the reported drone flights are actually drones or are instead manned aircraft or otherwise inaccurate sightings.” The agencies said they have not corroborated any of the reported sightings with electronic detection, and that reviews of available images appear to show many of the reported drones are actually manned aircraft. “There are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted air space,” according to the statement. The drones appear to avoid detection by traditional methods such as helicopter and radio, according to a state lawmaker briefed Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security. The number of sightings has increased in recent days, though officials say many of the objects seen may have been planes rather than drones. It’s also possible that a single drone has been reported more than once. The worry stems partly from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility, and over President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. In a post on the social media platform X, Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia described the drones as up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) in diameter and sometimes traveling with their lights switched off. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use but are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified. Most, but not all, of the drones spotted in New Jersey appeared to be larger than those typically used by hobbyists. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey said he was frustrated by the lack of transparency, saying it could help spread fear and misinformation. “We should know what’s going on over our skies,” he said Thursday. John Duesler, president of the Pennsylvania Drone Association, said witnesses may be confused about what they are seeing, especially in the dark, and noted it’s hard to know the size of the drones or how close they might be. “There are certainly big drones, such as agricultural drones, but typically they are not the type you see flying around in urban or suburban spaces,” Duesler said Thursday. Duesler said the drones — and those flying them — likely cannot evade detection. “They will leave a radio frequency footprint, they all leave a signature," he said. "We will find out what kind of drones they were, who was flying them and where they were flying them.” Fantasia, a Morris County Republican, was among several lawmakers who met with state police and Homeland Security officials to discuss the sightings from the New York City area across New Jersey and westward into parts of Pennsylvania, including over Philadelphia. It is unknown at this time whether the sightings are related. Duesler said the public wants to know what's going on. “I hope (the government agencies) will come out with more information about this to ease our fears. But this could just be the acts of rogue drone operators, it’s not an ‘invasion’ as some reports have called it,” Duesler said. “I am concerned about this it but not alarmed by it.” Associated Press reporters Mark Scolforo in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and reporter Darlene Superville and videojournalists Serkan Gurbuz and Nathan Ellgren in Washington, D.C., contributed to this report.
A modern version of The Skins Game is returning to Thanksgiving week. Pro Shop, the new golf media company led by "Full Swing" executive producer Chad Mumm, on Thursday announced a deal with the PGA Tour that brings back The Skins Game for the first time since 2008. It will be held on Black Friday after Thanksgiving in 2025, an example of more collaboration with the PGA Tour to showcase its best players away from the traditional presentation of golf. Still to be determined are the meat of the details -- who's playing, for how much, and where. The Skins Game was the cornerstone of what once was known as the "silly season" in golf. It began in 1983 with , , and (Vin Scully was the announcer) and held over Thanksgiving weekend in the California desert. A "skin" went to the player who won a hole, and each hole was worth money that increased toward the end of the match. became the face of The Skins Game from winning nearly $4.5 million in 11 appearances. He also had the personality that fit the casual contest. But interest began to wane, even with making occasional appearances. The last Skins Game was in 2008. It lost its title sponsor and the 2009 event was canceled. By then, the PGA Tour had gone to a wraparound season with official tournaments being held right up until Thanksgiving. Mumm joined with Mark Olsen of Vox Media, Joe Purzycki of Puck and David Miller from the PGA Tour to launch Pro Shop, a media, commerce and entertainment company geared toward creating golf content that appeals to a younger audience. Mumm is best known recently for his work with the Netflix docuseries "Full Swing," now approaching its third season. Pro Shop raised nearly $20 million this summer from Powerhouse Capital, the PGA Tour and EP Golf Ventures, among others. It also acquired Skratch, a digital and social media network the PGA Tour created about a decade ago to appeal to a younger audience. "Reimagining an iconic event like The Skins Game in a retro-modern way that engages today's sports fans is exactly why the PGA Tour has partnered with Pro Shop," said Chris Wandell, the senior vice president of media for the PGA Tour. "We look forward to seeing how the newest iteration of the Skins Game unfolds as Pro Shop and Propagate identify cast, format and creative approach."EAST LANSING, Mich. — The sight was a common one for Andrew Kolpacki. For many a Sunday, he would watch NFL games on TV and see quarterbacks putting their hands on their helmets, desperately trying to hear the play call from the sideline or booth as tens of thousands of fans screamed at the tops of their lungs. When the NCAA's playing rules oversight committee this past spring approved the use of coach-to-player helmet communications in games for the 2024 season, Kolpacki, Michigan State's head football equipment manager, knew the Spartans' QBs and linebackers were going to have a problem. "There had to be some sort of solution," he said. As it turns out, there was. And it was right across the street. Kolpacki reached out to Tamara Reid Bush, a mechanical engineering professor who not only heads the school's Biomechanical Design Research Laboratory but also is a football season ticket-holder. Kolpacki "showed me some photos and said that other teams had just put duct tape inside the (earhole), and he asked me, 'Do you think we can do anything better than duct tape,?" Bush said. "And I said, 'Oh, absolutely.'" Bush and Rylie DuBois, a sophomore biosystems engineering major and undergraduate research assistant at the lab, set out to produce earhole inserts made from polylactic acid, a bio-based plastic, using a 3D printer. Part of the challenge was accounting for the earhole sizes and shapes that vary depending on helmet style. Once the season got underway with a Friday night home game against Florida Atlantic on Aug. 30, the helmets of starting quarterback Aidan Chiles and linebacker Jordan Turner were outfitted with the inserts, which helped mitigate crowd noise. DuBois attended the game, sitting in the student section. "I felt such a strong sense of accomplishment and pride," DuBois said. "And I told all my friends around me about how I designed what they were wearing on the field." All told, Bush and DuBois have produced around 180 sets of the inserts, a number that grew in part due to the variety of helmet designs and colors that are available to be worn by Spartan players any given Saturday. Plus, the engineering folks have been fine-tuning their design throughout the season. Dozens of Bowl Subdivision programs are doing something similar. In many cases, they're getting 3D-printed earhole covers from XO Armor Technologies, which provides on-site, on-demand 3D printing of athletic wearables. The Auburn, Alabama-based company has donated its version of the earhole covers to the equipment managers of programs ranging from Georgia and Clemson to Boise State and Arizona State in the hope the schools would consider doing business with XO Armor in the future, said Jeff Klosterman, vice president of business development. XO Armor first was approached by the Houston Texans at the end of last season about creating something to assist quarterback C.J. Stroud in better hearing play calls delivered to his helmet during road games. XO Armor worked on a solution and had completed one when it received another inquiry: Ohio State, which had heard Michigan State was moving forward with helmet inserts, wondered if XO Armor had anything in the works. "We kind of just did this as a one-off favor to the Texans and honestly didn't forecast it becoming our viral moment in college football," Klosterman said. "We've now got about 60 teams across college football and the NFL wearing our sound-deadening earhole covers every weekend." The rules state that only one player for each team is permitted to be in communication with coaches while on the field. For the Spartans, it's typically Chiles on offense and Turner on defense. Turner prefers to have an insert in both earholes, but Chiles has asked that the insert be used in only one on his helmet. Chiles "likes to be able to feel like he has some sort of outward exposure," Kolpacki said. Exposure is something the sophomore signal-caller from Long Beach, California, had in away games against Michigan and Oregon this season. Michigan Stadium welcomed 110,000-plus fans for the Oct. 26 matchup between the in-state rivals. And while just under 60,000 packed Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, for the Ducks' 31-10 win over Michigan State three weeks earlier, it was plenty loud. "The Big Ten has some pretty impressive venues," Kolpacki said. "It can be just deafening," he said. "That's what those fans are there for is to create havoc and make it difficult for coaches to get a play call off." Something that is a bit easier to handle thanks to Bush and her team. She called the inserts a "win-win-win" for everyone. "It's exciting for me to work with athletics and the football team," she said. "I think it's really exciting for our students as well to take what they've learned and develop and design something and see it being used and executed." Get local news delivered to your inbox!
A Tory baroness faces a three-week suspension for making an offensive remark to a British-Asian peer during a visit to Rwanda. Baroness Catherine Meyer was found to have breached harassment rules with her behaviour towards Lord Dholakia during a visit to Rwanda with the Joint Committee on Human Rights. The 63-year-old called Lord Dholakia "Lord Poppadom" during a taxi ride on the trip. Lady Meyer initially denied the allegation, but faced with witness evidence she admitted she said it. She said the incident took place at the end of a long day when she had drunk "possibly three glasses of wine". The Lords' Conduct Committee recommended suspending Lady Meyer for three weeks over her comments, which amounted to harassment "related to race". In a separate incident on the same visit in February, Conservative Lady Meyer complimented MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy's hair and asked her if she could touch it, without waiting for a reply or permission. The facts of the incident involving the Labour MP for Clapham and Brixton Hill were not disputed, the committee said. Ms Ribeiro-Addy said it had made her feel "extremely uncomfortable" and "as if she could just do whatever she wanted". She said: "The idea I would do that to another woman, particularly a white woman, ask her if it's hers, ask to touch it and make a big deal out of it, it just wouldn't happen." In response to Ms Ribeiro-Addy's complaint, Lady Meyer said she had intended a friendly gesture, and had been unaware it would be unwelcome. "Oh gosh, I did the wrong thing," she said immediately after understanding the MP's body language. The report noted Lady Meyer had apologised for her actions in both cases The Conduct Committee said in the report: "We have carefully considered the Commissioner's report and his proposed sanction. Taking all the relevant factors into account, we endorse his recommended sanction, and accordingly recommend to the House that Baroness Meyer be suspended from the service of the House for three weeks, and that she undertake bespoke behaviour training." The commissioner said: "Due to the significance of Baroness Meyer's breach of the Code of Conduct and the impact of her behaviour on the complainants, I consider a short suspension to be justified in the circumstances. "Accordingly, I recommend that Baroness Meyer be suspended from the House for three weeks. In determining the length of suspension, I considered incident 1, where Baroness Meyer twice referred to Lord Dholakia as 'Lord Poppadom', to be the more serious of the two breaches, given the racial element to it. The recommended suspension is because of this breach. "I also consider behaviour training would be beneficial for Baroness Meyer, to address the specific behaviour in this case. I therefore recommend Baroness Meyer undertake bespoke behaviour training provided by an approved external provider."TORONTO, 25 nov. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Placements Vanguard Canada Inc. a communiqué aujourd'hui les montants finaux de distributions au mois de novembre 2024 concernant les FNB Vanguard énumérés ci-dessous inscrits à la bourse Cboe Canada.

The Windup Newsletter ⚾ | This is The Athletic’s daily MLB newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Windup directly in your inbox. Yusei Kikuchi is the latest ingredient in whatever the Angels are cooking up in Anaheim. Plus: Ken on the Braves’ payroll situation, the Royals solved a big problem and the time for robot umpires is very nigh. I’m Levi Weaver , here with Ken Rosenthal . Welcome to The Windup! Say what you will about the Angels (and I certainly have), but they’re having the most interesting offseason in baseball so far. Early this morning, news broke that they’re signing LHP Yusei Kikuchi to a three-year deal worth $63 million. He was ranked No. 14 on our Free Agent Big Board . The 33-year-old was brilliant last year after being traded to the Astros , going 5-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 10 games down the stretch to help Houston clinch another division title. If that’s the pitcher the Angels are signing, it’s a big move. Advertisement But he had also been 4-9 with a 4.75 ERA in Toronto before the trade. 2021 (All-Star), 2022 (not great) and 2023 (very good) were also exercises in the margins. There’s always risk in signing pitchers, but I’ll give the Angels credit for this: They’re definitely trying something here. Consider these other moves from the Angels this offseason: The average age of these six acquisitions: 32.5 years old. But the Angels do have a core of young players, including Logan O’Hoppe (24), Nolan Schanuel (22) and Neto (23). There’s a world in which this offseason functions for Anaheim the way last year’s winter established some support beams around Bobby Witt Jr. and others. There’s also a world in which this breaks bad. But let’s see what else the Angels do. From my latest notes column : In years past, the Atlanta Braves might have offered Ramón Laureano a contract, even if it meant overpaying him by a million or two. But on Friday, the Braves parted with Laureano rather than offer him a one-year deal in arbitration — a move that, for a team already short on outfielders, came as somewhat of a surprise. Actually, the decision not to pay Laureano a projected salary in the $6 million range was consistent with how the Braves have operated all offseason. The team faces a considerable amount of uncertainty, from left-hander Max Fried and righty Charlie Morton possibly departing to righty Spencer Strider and right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. starting the season on the injured list to setup man Joe Jiménez potentially missing the entire year. President of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos is trying to save wherever he can. While the Braves’ cash payroll might end up higher than it was last season, the team might be inclined to stay under the luxury-tax threshold after exceeding it the past two years. The threshold for 2025 is $241 million. The Braves, according to Fangraphs , are currently at $217 million. Consider Anthopoulos’ moves thus far: Laureano, released by the Cleveland Guardians on May 25, hit 10 home runs and had an .832 OPS in 226 plate appearances after joining the Braves. After Acuña, the only outfielders on the Braves’ 40-man roster are Michael Harris II , Jared Kelenic, Eli White , Luke Williams and the newly signed Carlos D. Rodriguez — not exactly a stellar group. But the free-agent class is deep in outfielders who might offer comparable production to Laureano at a lower price. Advertisement The Braves’ preference is for a left-handed hitter. But if the better fit is right-handed, so be it. The market includes numerous options beyond the four outfielders expected to command the biggest contracts (Juan Soto, Anthony Santander, Teoscar Hernández and Jurickson Profar). With Acuña expected to return a month or two into the season, the Braves need not shop at the high end. Anthopoulos typically addresses his offseason needs quickly. He figures to be aggressive in the starting-pitching market and possibly the relief market, too. But with the outfielders, he need not rush. The secondary options likely will need to wait for Soto and Co. to come off the board. And given the number that are available, bargains should eventually emerge. More here . Someone check on Kirk Herbstreit . On Friday, a year and a half after that interaction, Jonathan India — along with outfielder Joey Wiemer — was traded to the Kansas City Royals for RHP Brady Singer. As Keith Law points out , the calculus is pretty easy to suss out: The Reds needed a starting pitcher, and they had run out of at-bats to give India. Problem solved, I suppose. But man, I really like this trade for the Royals, for one reason in particular. Kansas City, as a team, got a .228 batting average ( 27th of 30 teams ) and a .270 on-base percentage (30th) from their leadoff hitters last year. India hit .236/.353/.384 (.737 OPS) from the leadoff spot. That’s not a huge improvement in batting average, but that’s more than 80 points better in the OBP column. Why is that a big deal? Because — as you might recall — Bobby Witt Jr. hits second in the Royals’ lineup. Fifty-six of his 82 career home runs have been solo shots, including 23 of his 32 last year (and 12 of his last 13). That’s to say nothing of Witt’s 11 triples and 45 doubles (for what it’s worth, India also stole 13 bases last year, and hit 28 doubles and two triples). Advertisement Defensively, the 27-year-old India has only played second base, and incumbent Michael Massey ’s .743 OPS was fourth-best on the team last year. Does one of them shift over to third base? Outfield? Kansas City will have to figure that out. But even as they authored a remarkable turnaround in 2024, the Royals lacked a table-setter ahead of Witt. India certainly seems to fit that bill. We’ve known this was on the horizon — this Evan Drellich article is from July 16 — but now we have a more firm date: MLB will test out its “ABS” (automated ball-strike) technology at select spring training parks in 2025. There have been a couple iterations of the system in the minor leagues. One had the umpires using it for every pitch, another gave teams two or three challenges per game. MLB teams will use the latter system in spring training. How it works: If a player believes that the umpire has missed a ball or strike call, they tap their head to signal a challenge. If they’re correct, the team maintains its challenge; if not, it loses it. For fans who view replay as a bothersome interruption: rest easy — while out-safe and other review calls are currently reviewed by a team of umpires looking at slow-motion video to determine the right call, ABS is pretty straightforward: Did the tracker have the ball in the zone or not? The entire process takes maybe 10 seconds. The big implication: If it goes well, there’s a chance that this system could find its way into regular-season MLB games as early as 2026. As expected, both Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani were unanimous MVPs. It’s Ohtani’s third award (his first in the NL) and Judge’s second . The non-tender deadline was last week. Our team has a list of seven intriguing players who are now free agents as a result. The Yankees are pursuing Juan Soto, obviously. But Brendan Kuty says there should be some limitations to their pursuit.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. men's basketball team is a step closer to next year’s AmeriCup tournament. Javonte Smart scored 20 points, Jahmi’us Ramsey added 18 and the U.S. rode a huge edge from 3-point range to beat Puerto Rico 108-66 in an AmeriCup qualifying game Friday. The Americans — winners in the debut of Stephen Silas as coach of the qualifying team — outscored Puerto Rico 51-6 on 3-pointers. Robert Covington added 16 and Frank Kaminsky III scored 10 for the U.S., which shot 56% from the field and 46% from 3-point range. David Stockton, playing in his record 11th tournament qualifying game for USA Basketball, had 10 assists for the Americans, who moved into a tie atop Group D — one of four four-team groups in AmeriCup qualifying — with Cuba at 2-1. Phillip Wheeler scored 12 for Puerto Rico, which shot 37%. The Americans next play Monday against Bahamas, before wrapping up qualifying with two more games in February. AmeriCup, the championship for the FIBA Americas region, will be held next year in Nicaragua.
