Hannah Miller scored a power-play goal with 1:38 remaining in the game, lifting the Toronto Sceptres to a 3-1 victory over the Boston Fleet in the Professional Women’s Hockey League season opener on Saturday. With Boston standout Hilary Knight in the penalty box for a vicious boarding penalty on Sceptres defender Renata Fast, Miller made good on her rebound attempt on a Daryl Watts shot with a half-open net. Fast recovered for an assist on the winner before 8,089 fans at Coca-Cola Coliseum. The Fleet (0-1-0) challenged the goal, but video review deemed Miller’s shot was good. Sarah Nurse got Toronto (1-0-0) on the board with a short-handed tally 11:50 into the first period and Emma Maltais added an empty-net strike to seal the score at 3-1 with 12 seconds left on the game clock. Boston’s Hilary Knight opened the scoring at the 3:00 mark of the opening frame, sending a slap shot past Toronto goalie Kristin Campbell, who registered 18 stops on the night. Toronto outshot Boston 41-19. Boston goalie Aerin Frankel, a big reason why her team advanced to the Walter Cup final last spring, was outstanding with 38 saves. Frankel made a significant glove-hand stop on Toronto defender Jocelyne Larocque with 6:36 remaining in the third period. Larocque was alone when a rebound caromed to her in front. But the puck was rolling, and she could only lift her shot straight into Frankel’s glove. Nurse’s goal tested the league’s new jailbreak rule that sees a minor penalty — in this case, Izzy Daniel’s tripping infraction — wiped out when a team scores a short-handed goal.

NoneStocks rose in afternoon trading on Wall Street Friday, keeping the market on track for its fifth gain in a row. The S&P 500 was up 0.3% and was solidly on track for a weekly gain that will erase most of last week's loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 352 points, or 0.8%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.1% as of 2:05 p.m. Eastern. Markets have been volatile over the last few weeks, losing ground in the runup to elections in November, then surging following Donald Trump's victory, before falling again. The S&P 500 has been steadily rising throughout this week to within close range of its record. “Overall, market behavior has normalized following an intense few weeks,” said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide, in a statement. Several retailers jumped after giving Wall Street encouraging financial updates. Gap soared 10.8% after handily beating analysts' third-quarter earnings and revenue expectations, while raising its own revenue forecast for the year. Discount retailer Ross Stores rose 2.2% after raising its earnings forecast for the year. EchoStar fell 3.3% after DirecTV called off its purchase of that company's Dish Network unit. Smaller company stocks had some of the biggest gains. The Russell 2000 index rose 1.7%. A majority of stocks in the S&P 500 were gaining ground, but those gains were kept in check by slumps for several big technology companies. Nvidia fell 3.2%. Its pricey valuation makes it among the heaviest influences on whether the broader market gains or loses ground. The company has grown into a nearly $3.6 trillion behemoth because of demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Intuit, which makes TurboTax and other accounting software, fell 5.6%. It gave investors a quarterly earnings forecast that fell short of analysts’ expectations. Facebook owner Meta Platforms fell 0.8% following a decision by the Supreme Court to allow a multibillion-dollar class action investors’ lawsuit to proceed against the company. It stems from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm. European markets were mostly higher and Asian markets ended mixed. Crude oil prices rose. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.40% from 4.42% late Thursday. In the crypto market, Bitcoin hovered around $99,000, according to CoinDesk. It has more than doubled this year and first surpassed the $99,000 level on Thursday. Retailers remained a big focus for investors this week amid close scrutiny on consumer spending habits headed into the holiday shopping season. Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, reported a quarter of strong sales and gave investors an encouraging financial forecast. Target, though, reported weaker earnings than analysts' expected and its forecast disappointed Wall Street. Consumer spending has fueled economic growth, despite a persistent squeeze from inflation and high borrowing costs. Inflation has been easing and the Federal Reserve has started trimming its benchmark interest rates. That is likely to help relieve pressure on consumers, but any major shift in spending could prompt the Fed to reassess its path ahead on interest rates. Also, any big reversals on the rate of inflation could curtail spending. Consumer sentiment remains strong, according to the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index. It revised its latest figure for November to 71.8 from an initial reading of 73 earlier this month, though economists expected a slight increase. It's still up from 70.5 in October. The survey also showed that consumers' inflation expectations for the year ahead fell slightly to 2.6%, which is the lowest reading since December of 2020. Wall Street will get another update on how consumers feel when the business group The Conference Board releases its monthly consumer confidence survey on Tuesday. A key inflation update will come on Wednesday when the U.S. releases its October personal consumption expenditures index. The PCE is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation and this will be the last PCE reading prior to the central bank's meeting in December.
US President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday demanded that BRICS member countries commit to not creating a new currency or supporting another currency that would replace the United States dollar or face 100% tariffs. "We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty US Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful US Economy," Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. "They can go find another 'sucker'. There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the US Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America."

AP women’s college basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-womens-college-basketball-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/womens-college-basketballLuigi Mangione, 26, was charged with murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Following his arrest, various claims about him circulated online, including speculation about an online manifesto that allegedly explained his motive for the killing. The post, attributed to "LM" on the blog site Substack, is titled “The Allopathic Complex and Its Consequences" and has been shared in various social media posts crediting Mangione as the author. This is allegedly Luigi Mangione’s manifesto. pic.twitter.com/uOFsGA6Nki VERIFY reader Tony texted us asking if the manifesto published to Substack is real. THE QUESTION Is the viral online post on Substack appearing to be written by Luigi Mangione real? THE SOURCES THE ANSWER No, the viral online post published to Substack appearing to be written by Luigi Mangione isn’t real. WHAT WE FOUND Luigi Mangione had a three-page document with him when he was arrested that police say speaks to his alleged motive at the time of the killing, but claims the manifesto posted online was authored by Mangione are false. VERIFY analyzed excerpts of the handwritten document and found it doesn't match any of the language in the fake online manifesto. Substack also said it removed the account because it violates the platform’s content guidelines, “which prohibit impersonation.” During a Dec. 9 press conference , New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the handwritten document Mangione had on his person when arrested “speaks to both his motivation and mindset.” When asked if the handwritten document was posted online, the New York Police Department’s Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said, “Don’t know if it's online. As of right now, it's a handwritten three-page document.” While police haven’t publicly released the handwritten document, excerpts have been reported by various news outlets such as the Associated Press , The New York Times and CBS . According to these reports, the document was either independently reviewed or described to reporters by sources close to the investigation. The New York Times summarized the excerpts they reviewed, saying the handwritten document called Thompson’s killing a “symbolic takedown” of the healthcare industry and also referenced corruption and “power games.” CBS reported Mangione criticized the disparity between U.S. healthcare costs and life expectancy rates. We compared the quoted excerpts from the reports to the Substack manifesto posted online and found none of the language from the handwritten document appears in the manifesto. The fake manifesto also lacks any reference to healthcare costs or life expectancy rates. Substack didn’t provide details on when the account was removed from the platform, but VERIFY was able to use archived pages captured on The Wayback Machine to determine the account was likely created while Mangione was in police custody. The Wayback Machine allows users to view and access snapshots, or screenshots, of websites. This screenshot archive from The Wayback Machine of the Substack account attributed to Mangione was captured at 9:43 p.m. ET on Dec. 9. Text on the Substack page archived indicates it was created about two hours earlier, during the time Mangione would have been in custody. At around 1:45 p.m. on Dec. 9 , the NYPD announced Mangione had been arrested as a person of interest in Thompson’s murder. He was arraigned on Dec. 9 around 6:30 p.m., according to court records.

Text: 202-410-8808In the ongoing Sambhal case, a troubling development has emerged: threats are being made against Vishnu Shankar Jain, a lawyer representing the Hindu side of the mosque-temple dispute. A contentious issue has surfaced in Sambhal regarding whether the land of the Jama Masjid was once a Hindu temple. In today's episode of DNA, Zee News has presented the irrefutable evidence suggesting that the Jama Masjid was constructed over an ancient Hindu temple, as evidenced by the findings from a recent survey. When Zee News reporters hit the ground to investigate, startling revelations came to light that will force many people, who claim the area to be only a mosque, to rethink their stance. Threats to Legal Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain In the ongoing Sambhal case, a troubling development has emerged: threats are being made against Vishnu Shankar Jain, a lawyer representing the Hindu side of the mosque-temple dispute. His role in the case has made him a target, and disturbing messages indicate a serious threat to his life. This raises questions about the motivations behind such threats. Could they be aimed at derailing the case, or is there a more sinister agenda at play? Vishnu Shankar Jain: Targeted for Exposing the Truth? Vishnu Shankar Jain has been at the forefront of legal battles related to Hindu religious sites, including the Ram Mandir-Babri case, Kashi Vishwanath-Gyanvapi case, and others. Recently, in Sambhal, Jain has been accused by certain quarters of inciting violence during the mosque survey, despite evidence to the contrary. CCTV footage clearly shows the attackers, not Jain, responsible for the violence, yet Jain has been targeted on social media, with claims that he incited the riots. In an exclusive interview, Jain refuted these accusations and suggested that the threats against him are aimed at silencing the truth and derailing the case. His response raises some critical questions: Is there a truth about the Jama Masjid in Sambhal that some groups want to suppress? Why is Vishnu Shankar Jain being targeted? The Ground Reality of the Sambhal Riots The recent riots in Sambhal have seen the active involvement of violent mobs. CCTV footage from November 24 shows masked individuals throwing stones in narrow lanes, an act fueled by a provocative figure who is seen encouraging the crowd. This individual, dressed in white with a black shawl and cap, repeatedly gestures for the mob to advance and escalate their actions. This footage has led to the identification of key figures responsible for inciting violence. Following the riots, the police came under scrutiny for their actions, with accusations that they fired indiscriminately on a Muslim crowd. However, further investigation, including more video evidence, suggests that the police were simply maintaining order and did not act as recklessly as some critics have claimed. New Claims of Ancient Temple Artifacts in Sambhal In addition to the mosque-temple dispute, new claims have surfaced about ancient Hindu temple artifacts found in Sambhal. Archaeologists claim that remnants of the Hindu temple of Lord Vishnu, including idols and relics from the Gupta period, have been discovered. These claims support the theory that the Jama Masjid in Sambhal was built over an ancient temple. Atul Mishra, an archaeologist from Sambhal, and his family have collected these artifacts over the years, including a statue of Lord Vishnu and a relic resembling the Vishnu chakra. Mishra argues that these findings, combined with historical records, suggest that the Jama Masjid site was once home to the Harirh Temple, which was demolished to construct the mosque. ASI’s Allegations Against Jama Masjid Committee Another intriguing angle to the dispute involves the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). ASI has filed an affidavit in the Sambhal court accusing the Jama Masjid management of obstructing archaeological inspections. Despite the Jama Masjid being a protected monument since 1920, ASI officials claim that they have been denied access to carry out necessary preservation work. In recent inspections, ASI found alterations to the mosque structure that they believe were made to hide its original temple-like foundation. This raises the question: Why is the Jama Masjid committee interfering with ASI’s work? Are they trying to cover up evidence that could reveal the truth about the mosque’s origins?
