Matt Gaetz says he won't return to Congress next year after withdrawing name for attorney general WASHINGTON (AP) — Matt Gaetz is not coming back to Congress. The Florida Republican said Friday he has no intention of serving another term in the House now that he is no longer President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. Gaetz withdrew as the nominee this week amid growing fallout from the allegations of sexual conduct against him. Gaetz denies the allegations. Gaetz didn't lay out his plans now that he's out of office, saying only, “I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch." After Gaetz's withdrawal on Thursday, Trump named former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi to lead the Justice Department. Vance takes on a more visible transition role, working to boost Trump's most contentious picks WASHINGTON (AP) — After several weeks working behind closed doors, Vice President-elect JD Vance returned to Capitol Hill this week in a new, more visible role. He's been helping Donald Trump’s most contentious Cabinet picks try to win confirmation in the Senate, where he has served for the last two years. Vance spent part of Wednesday at the Capitol with Rep. Matt Gaetz sitting in on meetings with Trump’s controversial choice for attorney general. On Thursday, Vance was back, this time accompanying Pete Hegseth. Vance is expected to accompany other nominees for meetings over the coming weeks as he tries to leverage the two years he has spent in the Senate to help push through Trump’s picks. Beyond evangelicals, Trump and his allies courted smaller faith groups, from the Amish to Chabad Donald Trump’s lock on the white evangelical vote is legendary, but he didn't focus exclusively on large religious voter blocs. He and his allies also wooed smaller religious groups, away from the mainstream. He posted a tribute to Coptic church members on social media and met with members of Assyrians for Trump — two smaller Christian communities with Middle Eastern roots. He visited the grave of the revered late leader of an Orthodox Jewish movement. His allies sought votes from the separatist Amish community. While Trump won decisively, the outreaches reflected aggressive campaigning in what was expected to be a tight race. NATO and Ukraine to hold emergency talks after Russia's attack with new hypersonic missile KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — NATO and Ukraine will hold emergency talks Tuesday after Russia attacked a central city with a hypersonic ballistic missile that escalated the nearly 33-month-old war. Ukraine's parliament canceled a session Friday over the security threat. In a stark warning to the West, President Vladimir Putin said in a nationally televised speech Thursday that the attack with the intermediate-range Oreshnik missile was retaliation for Kyiv’s use of U.S. and British longer-range missiles capable of striking deeper into Russian territory. Putin said Russia is launching production of the Oreshnik, saying it's so powerful that several of them fitted with conventional warheads could be as devastating as a strike with strategic — or nuclear — weapons. Texas education board approves optional Bible-infused curriculum for elementary schools AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas’ education board has voted to allow Bible-infused teachings in elementary schools. The approval Friday follows other Republican-led states that have pushed this year to give religion a larger presence in public classrooms. The curriculum adopted by the Texas State Board of Education is optional for schools to adopt, but they’ll receive additional funding if they do so. Parents and teachers who opposed the curriculum say the lessons will alienate students of other faith backgrounds. Supporters argue the Bible is a core feature of American history and that teaching it will enrich learning. 2 convicted in human smuggling case after Indian family froze to death on US-Canada border FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (AP) — A jury has convicted two men of charges related to human smuggling for their roles in an international operation that led to the deaths of a family of Indian migrants who froze while trying to cross the Canada-U.S. border during a 2022 blizzard. Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel and Steve Shand each faced four charges related to human smuggling before being convicted on Friday. Patel is an Indian national. Shand is an American from Florida. They were arrested after the family froze while trying to cross the desolate border during a 2022 blizzard. Storm inundates Northern California with rain, heavy snow. Thousands remain in the dark in Seattle HEALDSBURG, Calif. (AP) — Heavy rain from a major storm prompted evacuations from communities near a Northern California river that forecasters say could break its banks Friday, as the storm keeps dumping heavy snow in the region's mountains where some ski resorts opened for the season. The storm reached the Pacific Northwest earlier this week, killing two people and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands before moving through Northern California, where several roads were closed due to flooding and strong winds toppled some trees. Forecasters are warning about the risk of flash flooding and rockslides in areas north of San Francisco as the region was inundated by this season’s strongest atmospheric river. Archaeologists discover 4,000-year-old canals used to fish by predecessors of ancient Maya WASHINGTON (AP) — Using drones and Google Earth imagery, archaeologists have discovered a 4,000-year-old network of earthen canals in what’s now Belize. The research published Friday in Science Advances shows that long before the ancient Maya built temples, their predecessors were already altering the landscape of Central America’s Yucatan peninsula. The ancient fish canals were used to channel and catch freshwater species such as catfish. These structures were used for around 1,000 years — including during the “formative” period when the Maya began to settle in permanent farming villages and a distinctive culture started to emerge. California case is the first confirmed bird flu infection in a US child Health officials are confirming bird flu in a California child — the first reported case in a U.S. minor. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced confirmatory test results on Friday. Officials say the child had mild symptoms, was treated with antiviral medication and is recovering. The child’s infection brings the reported number of U.S. bird flu cases this year to 55, including 29 in California. State officials have said the child lives in Alameda County, which includes Oakland, and attends day care, but released no other details. Brazilian police formally accuse former President Bolsonaro and aides of alleged 2022 coup attempt SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s Federal Police have formally accused former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 other people of attempting a coup to keep him in office after his electoral defeat in the 2022 elections. The findings are to be delivered Thursday to Brazil’s Supreme Court, which will refer them to Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet, who will either formally charge Bolsonaro and put the former president on trial or toss the investigation. The former right-wing president has denied all claims he tried to stay in office after his narrow electoral defeat in 2022 to his rival, leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro has faced a series of legal threats since then.
We live on one of the most isolated but beautiful islands in the US... and now life is going to change foreverFerrari and McLaren were in contention to win the F1 Constructor’s Championship, entering the final race of the season. Naturally, the most popular celebrities made their way to the paddock in Abu Dhabi to catch this championship-deciding showdown. The tennis world also had great representation as the biggest players, including Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner, witnessed Lando Norris pull off a masterclass. Aryna Sabalenka Aryna Sabalenka’s newfound passion for motorsports doesn’t come as a surprise. Her boyfriend Georgios Frangulis competed in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge and the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. Not to mention that Sabalenka already made her way to a Grand Prix earlier this season. During her trip to the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Sabalenka hung out with the Haas team. However, on Sunday, the World No.1 was hosted by the Alpine team in Abu Dhabi. As a social media enthusiast, the Belarusian also got members of the team to dance to “The Ketchup Song” and posted the wholesome video on her Instagram account. Jannik Sinner Sinner was given the massive honor of waving the chequered flag at the end of Lap 58. Before fulfilling this task, the two-time Grand Slam winner was able to meet with Max Verstappen, who won this season’s drivers’ championship and took a lap around the Yas Marina Circuit with Charles Leclerc in a Ferrari. The San Candido native was also spotted in the Italy-based team’s garage. His presence seemed to bring good fortune, as both their drivers – Carlos Sainz Jr. and Leclerc – secured podium finishes in an action-packed race. Paula Badosa It is evident from her social media activities that Paula Badosa has spent her past few days in Abu Dhabi. So, it wasn’t surprising to see the Spaniard join her peers to witness the battle. Badosa, who is often seen driving an Aston Martin with her partner Stefanos Tsitsipas, was part of the same team’s garage and even clicked a photo with F1 legend Fernando Alonso before the race. Grigor Dimitrov Grigor Dimitrov was spotted at the McLaren garage. He also crossed paths with American actress Eva Longoria during his visit to the race. The 33-year-old couldn’t have picked a better garage to support since McLaren clinched the Constructor’s Championship, thanks to Lando Norris’ brilliance, marking their first title win since 1998.12. Clemson Tigers 10-3 (7-1 Atlantic Coast Conference regular season) What's next: First-round at No. 5 seed Texas, Dec. 21 Head coach: Dabo Swinney (17th season, 180-46 overall) About Swinney: The 55-year-old, who is 6-4 in the CFP, took over during the 2008 season and has won two national titles (2016, 2018). He will take the Tigers to the CFP the first time since the 2020 season and the seventh time overall. Resume The Tigers, the only three-loss team in the 12-team field, were in a must-win situation in the ACC championship game, prevailing on a last-second, 56-yard field goal to defeat SMU 34-31. Clemson lost two games to SEC opponents (Georgia and South Carolina) this season. The Tigers' other defeat came at home to Louisville. The matchup with Texas will be Clemson's first true road game against the SEC this season. Postseason history A nine-time winner of the ACC Championship Game, the Tigers notched a double-figure win total for the 13th time in the last 14 seasons. Along with its two national titles, Clemson reached the title game two other times (2019 and 2015). This will be the first Clemson-Texas matchup. The road to Atlanta It will be a tricky road for the Tigers to reach the CFP title game in Atlanta at a venue familiar to Clemson fans. The Tigers will take at least two and maybe three trips outside of their own time zone to qualify for the final. Names to know QB Cade Klubnik Klubnik, a Texas native, has been taking snaps in crucial situations since a limited role as a freshman in 2022, when he rescued the Tigers in an ACC Championship victory vs. North Carolina. Sporting a 19-8 career record as a starter, Klubnik has thrown for 3,303 yards and 33 touchdowns along with five interceptions this season. He tossed four TDs in the ACC title game Dec. 7 against SMU after receiving All-ACC honorable mention following the regular season. "He's battle-tested," Swinney said. "He has got a lot of experience under his belt. He has had some failure, which has made him better." RB Phil Mafah The senior has racked up 1,106 rushing yards with eight touchdowns this season and has 28 career scores. Mafah has averaged fewer than 17 carries per game, so he makes the most of his opportunities, and at 230 pounds he can be a load to bring down. DE T.J. Parker He's been disruptive on a regular basis, racking up 19 tackles for loss (11 sacks) this season. The 265-pound sophomore helped set the tone in the ACC title game when the Tigers feasted on early SMU mistakes. Parker is tied for the Division I lead with six forced fumbles this season. K Nolan Hauser The freshman joined the Tigers this season with great acclaim and produced a career highlight with a 56-yard game-winning field goal -- the longest in ACC title game history -- to beat SMU at the buzzer. --Field Level Media

India turning into world’s Deep Tech Hub as reforms reverse brain drain: Hardeep Singh PuriNone
Scientists may finally have an explanation for why Mount Everest is so much taller than the other great Himalayan peaks – and still growing. Everest is known to be growing by about 2mm a year, and the official figure for its height was last revised upwards by almost a metre in 2020 to 8,848.86m. The mountain’s growth was previously put down to the shifting of tectonic plates, though this theory did not explain why Everest’s peak is abnormally high compared to others in the range, towering about 250m above the next-tallest peak in the Himalayas . The next three of the world’s tallest peaks – K2, Kangchenjunga, and Lhotse – only differ from each other in height by about 120 metres. Now researchers from University College London (UCL) have found that erosion from a river network about 75km (47 miles) away from the world’s highest mountain may be contributing to Everest’s growth, as the river carves away a substantial gorge. This erosion is creating a seemingly paradoxical phenomenon called uplift, which happens when a section of the Earth’s crust loses mass and then “floats” upwards due to intense pressure from the hot liquid mantle below. The process is not fast, with scientists estimating that Everest has grown by between 15 and 50 metres in the past 89,000 years. But it is still measurable with modern technology, according to the study published on Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience . “We can see them growing by about 2mm a year using GPS instruments, and now we have a better understanding of what’s driving it,” said Matthew Fox, a co-author of the study from UCL. While this gradual process leads to only a few millimetres of growth each year, over geological timeframes it can make a significant difference. In Everest’s case, this process appears to have sped up over the last 89,000 years since the nearby Arun River merged with the adjacent Kosi. The merging of the two rivers led to more water funnelling through the Kosi River and increasing its erosive power, scientists say. As more land started getting washed away, it gradually triggered an increased rate of uplift for Everest, pushing the mountain’s peaks further up. “Our research shows that as the nearby river system cuts deeper, the loss of material is causing the mountain to spring further upwards,” study co-author Adam Smith from UCL said. The Arun River currently runs to the east of Mount Everest, and merges downstream with the larger Kosi river system. Over thousands of years, it has carved out a gorge that has washed away billions of tonnes of earth and sediment. “The upstream Arun River flows east at high altitude with a flat valley. It then abruptly turns south, dropping in elevation and becoming steeper,” Jin-Gen Dai, another author of the study, said. “This unique topography, indicative of an unsteady state, likely relates to Everest’s extreme height,” Dr Dai said. The phenomenon is also affecting the neighbouring peaks of Lhotse and Makalu – the world’s fourth- and fifth-highest peaks – scientists say.
