Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman made a ridiculous save in overtime to help the Boston Bruins defeat the Philadelphia Flyers. Heading into the final 20 minutes of the Bruins-Flyers game at TD Garden on Saturday, the Boston Bruins were trailing the Flyers 3-1. The Bruins had a massive third period when Trent Frederic and Brad Marchand came in clutch, both scoring goals to help the Bruins force overtime for the second time in three games. Pavel Zacha lived up to the moment once again, scoring the game-winner for the Boston Bruins midway through the overtime period to help the Bruins extend their win streak to four games. Just before Pavel Zacha's goal, Jeremy Swayman came up big for the Boston Bruins with an insane breakaway save on Joel Farabee and helped the Bruins secure their two points. Elias Lindholm blew a tire inside the blue line of the Flyers defensive zone giving Farabee a breakaway. Farabee took the puck up the ice while Charlie McAvoy was trying to chase him down but couldn't catch up to him. Farabee took the puck right up the middle and fired a wrist shot from inside the hash marks, and Swayman came off big with a blocker save. Following the game, Jeremy Swayman had this to say: Swayman stopped 23 of 26 shots from the Flyers, giving him his ninth win of the year, and improved to 5-2-0 against the Flyers all-time. Now the Boston Bruins are taking their four-game winning streak on the road as their next five games will be on a West Coast trip, with their first stop taking place in Winnipeg on Tuesday night.

Insurgents reach gates of Syria's capital threatening to upend decades of Assad ruleWASHINGTON (AP) — A person accused of accosting U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace in a Capitol Office building pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to a misdemeanor assault charge. Witnesses told police that James McIntyre, 33, of Chicago, shook Mace's hand in an “exaggerated, aggressive” manner after approaching the South Carolina Republican in the Rayburn House Office Building on Tuesday evening, according to a police affidavit. Mace, who is identified only by her initials in a court filing, posted a string of social media messages about the incident. She said she was “physically accosted” at the Capitol, and she thanked President-elect Donald Trump for calling her Wednesday morning to check on her condition. “I’m going to be fine just as soon as the pain and soreness subside,” Mace wrote. Mace declined to be treated by a paramedic after her encounter with McIntyre, who was arrested Tuesday by the Capitol Police, the affidavit says. Mace told police that McIntyre said, “Trans youth serve advocacy,” while shaking her hand. Last month, Mace proposed a resolution that would prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” Mace said the bill is aimed specifically at Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride — the first transgender person to be elected to Congress. A magistrate judge ordered McIntyre’s release after an arraignment in Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Efforts to reach an attorney for McIntyre weren't immediately successful.NJOY Continues To Drive Altria Group’s (MO) Sustained Growth
Ralph Lauren Corp. Cl A stock underperforms Friday when compared to competitorsACCRA, Ghana (AP) — Voting closed Saturday evening in most polling centers throughout Ghana, bringing to an end the presidential and legislative elections poised to be a litmus test for democracy in a region shaken by extremist violence and coups . The capital, Accra, was almost a ghost town for much of the day. Even vibrant Oxford Street, one of the city's commercial hubs, saw little activity on the day that Ghanaians went to the polls to elect a new president and 276 legislators. Some 18.7 million people are registered to vote in the West African country hit by one of the worst economic crises in a generation. However, the two main candidates offer little hope for change for the nation. Early results were expected late on Saturday. The first official results will be released by Tuesday. Ghana used to be a poster child for democracy in the region. At a time when coups threatened democracy in West Africa, Ghana emerged as a beacon of democratic stability with a history of peaceful elections. It had also been an economic powerhouse, priding itself on its development. But in recent years, it has struggled with a profound economic crisis, including surging inflation and a lack of jobs. According to an opinion poll released earlier this year by Afrobarometer, a research group, 82% of Ghanaians feel their country is headed in the wrong direction Although 12 candidates are running for president, Saturday’s election — like others since the return of multiparty politics in 1992 — has emerged as a two-horse race. Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia is the candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party, or NPP, which has struggled to resolve the economic crisis. He faces off against former President John Dramani Mahama, the leader of the main opposition party National Democratic Congress, or NDC. He was voted out in 2016 after failing to deliver on promises for the economy. Opinion polls point to a potential comeback for Mahama. A local research company, Global InfoAnalytics says he is projected to get 52.2% of the vote, followed by Bawumia, with 41.4%. After voting in the town of Bole in northern Ghana, Mahama praised the smooth election process and expressed confidence in his own victory. “In other elections, it had not been clear," he told reporters. “But (during) this election everyone sees where it is heading.” Bawumia, who voted in his Walewale constituency, also in northern Ghana, also said he believed he had won. “By the grace of God, I’m very hopeful of winning this election," he said. “I think that we have done a lot of work. We have put our message to the people; I think the message has been well received.” The NDC prides itself as a social democratic party, while the ruling NPP tags itself as leaning to the right. But in fact, analysts and voters said, the programs of their presidential candidates do not differ in a significant way. Members of parliament will also be elected Saturday. The ruling NPP party and the main opposition NDC each have 137 members in the 275-member legislature, with one independent member who has been voting mostly along with the ruling party. One more constituency will be added in this election, bringing the number of deputies to 276. In their final campaign rallies Thursday, both candidates made a last push to pitch their political parties as the answer to Ghana’s economic woes. Bawumia, 61, an Oxford-educated economist and former deputy governor of the country’s central bank, promised to build on the outgoing administration’s efforts and stabilize the economy. Mahama, 65, on the other hand, restated his promise to “reset” the country on various fronts. “We need to reset our democracy, governance, economy, finances, agriculture, infrastructure, environment, health sector, and all that we hold dear as a people,” the former president said. Across the the capital, Accra, the mood for the election has been upbeat in posters and billboards with bikers displaying stunts, political rallies on the streets, election jingles and songs blasting from public speakers. But the concern for many is also palpable for the key thing at stake: The country’s ailing economy, which has been challenged on various fronts in recent years. The country defaulted on most of its foreign debt last year as it faced a worsening economic crisis that spiked the price of fuel, food and other essential items. The inflation rate had hit 54% by the end of last year and though it’s been coming down since then, not many Ghanaians can still tell the difference when they go to the market. Ebenezer Kotey Dsane, a 69-year-old driver said he voted for Mahama because “he is a good man” who “set up much infrastructure when he was in office.” “The current regime hasn't done much,” he said, pointing to the La General Hospital in Accra, one of the capital's main medical facilities, pulled down in July 2020 by the current government with a pledge to reconstruct it. “Until today, nothing has happened.” Some chose not to vote at all. Ruth Mensah, 42, an unemployed resident of Nima, a working-class suburb in Accra, said she decided not to cast a ballot. “I don’t see how voting will bring about a change to my life,” she said. Patricia Seyram Hagbevor, 20, a first-time voter and student at Accra Technical University said she wished for a change. She didn't disclose whom she voted for, but said she “hoped for a change for the better that will help develop our future.” The chronic challenge of illegal gold mining — known locally as galamsey — has also been a major issue in the campaign and a source of concern for voters, triggering protests and criticism against the outgoing government. Ghana is Africa’s top gold producer and the world’s sixth largest, but the commodity has been increasingly mined illegally as people become more desperate to find jobs in an economy that has been crumbling. The mining has polluted rivers and other parts of the environment despite government actions to clamp down on the practice. Pronczuk reported from Dakar, Senegal.

South Korean prosecutors on Sunday arrested former defence minister Kim Yong-Hyun amid a probe into alleged treason following President Yoon Suk Yeol implemented martial law , according to Yonhap News Agency. Kim, who stepped down on Wednesday, was considered instrumental in Tuesday's temporary martial law implementation. According to a high-ranking military official and opposition members' impeachment documents, Kim had suggested the measure to Yoon. Despite surviving Saturday's parliamentary impeachment vote following his brief martial law attempt, Yoon faces pressure from his own party leader who indicated the president's eventual resignation would be necessary. According to the report, Kim voluntarily presented himself at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office around 1.30 am on Sunday (10 pm on Saturday) for questioning by the special investigative team. Three minor opposition parties submitted a legal complaint against Yoon, Kim and martial law commander Park An-Su, charging them with treason. Yonhap reported that Kim is subject to a travel restriction while under investigation. The national police are conducting a separate investigation into treason allegations against Yoon and senior ministers. On Tuesday evening, Yoon startled the nation by granting extensive emergency authority to the military to eliminate what he termed "anti-state forces" and opposing political elements. He withdrew the order six hours later, after parliament collectively rejected the decree, despite military and police blockades. The martial law crisis has created South Korea 's most severe political upheaval in decades, endangering the democratic credentials of this significant US military ally and Asia's fourth-largest economy.NoneBioAge Labs Announces Discontinuation of STRIDES Phase 2 Clinical Trial Evaluating Azelaprag in ...Funding for milk and healthy snacks for pre-school kids slashed by SNP
