LOS ANGELES (AP) — Receiver Demarcus Robinson will not be suspended by the Los Angeles Rams this week after his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence. Robinson will be available to play when the Rams (5-6) visit the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday. “I think he does understand the severity of this, and how lucky we were that nobody was injured,” McVay said. “I do believe that he's remorseful. We are going to let the legal process take place. The league has a process as well.” Robinson was arrested early Monday morning after California Highway Patrol officers observed a white Dodge sedan driving over 100 mph on the 101 freeway in the western San Fernando Valley, a few miles from the Rams’ training complex in Woodland Hills. The driver, who identified himself as Robinson, had “objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment,” the CHP said in a statement released to The Associated Press. Robinson spoke to the team and expressed remorse about his arrest, McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “I think it was a bad decision he made,” McVay said. “I don't think that makes him a bad person, and I do believe this is something that, with the words that he said, our guys will learn from it, and hopefully nobody is ever going to repeat something like this. Let it be a learning opportunity, and a fortunate outcome that nobody was injured.” Robinson has 26 receptions for 384 yards and a team-leading six touchdown catches while starting all 11 games in his second season with the Rams . He caught a TD pass in the Rams' 37-20 loss to Philadelphia several hours before his arrest. The nine-year NFL veteran has served as a capable No. 3 option for Stafford behind star receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Robinson spent his first six NFL seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning a Super Bowl ring in February 2020, and spent one year with Baltimore before joining the Rams last year. “Let this be a lesson to all of us,” Stafford said. “We're lucky with the result that came of it, to be honest with you, that nobody was hurt or injured. I know that D-Rob is a great person. I love being around him. Love him as a teammate. ... I'm just trying to support him, help him out any way I can.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL
Trump taps Rollins as agriculture chief, completing proposed slate of Cabinet secretaries1. Is it ok to assume Liverpool are there for the long run now? Five games, five wins in the Champions League under Arne Slot. Top of the table at home, by eight points, and in Europe by two. A victory over Real Madrid for the first time in 15 years, a stunning penalty save from Caoimhin Kelleher (against Kylian Mbappe of all people) - and nobody talking about Jurgen Klopp anymore. Could things get any better for Liverpool? This was a night when the Merseyside giants proved they are serious Champions League contenders for 2025, and well ahead of schedule in their development under a new manager. Yes, Real were missing some big names, and yes Mo Salah missed a penalty, too, but Liverpool were worthy winners and the noise from the Kop underlined just how big a victory this was in a new era. The team has a more youthful feel than in recent seasons, with Cork hero Kelleher a prime example. But Curtis Jones was also excellent in midfield, outshining Jude Bellingham, as was young Conor Bradley, standing in for Trent Alexander-Arnold at full-back. The team mixed Klopp-style intensity and pressing with a calm and attractive playing style when on the ball; a wonderful mix that is being developed far more quickly than anyone could have predicted. This Liverpool team is already looking the real deal. 2. Where does this result leave Carlo Ancelotti? It seems almost crazy to talk about legendary manager Carlo Ancelotti being under pressure given everything he has achieved with the La Liga giants in his latest spell – which began with a Champions League Final victory over Liverpool in 2022. But when you are behind Barcelona in La Liga and 24th in the Champions League table, tongues start to wag. Ancelotti's trophy haul since 2021 has included two La Liga titles, two Champions Leagues, two Supercopa de Espana, one Copa del Rey, two UEFA Super Cups and a FIFA Club World Cup. But recent form, despite bringing in Mbappe in the summer, has left the Italian in trouble, especially as it has included heavy home defeats against Barca in La Liga and AC Milan in Europe. Recent reports suggested Xabi Alonso is being considered as a possible replacement, and although Ancelotti has since insisted any issues with the board have since been resolved, this result – and performance - could bring the rumours back into focus. At any other club in the world you would read the stories, raise an eyebrow and ignore it. But Real, and Florentino Perez, have a history of making big decisions about the removal of popular and successful managers. So, although Ancelotti has a contract until 2026, there are still plenty of pundits predicting he may not last the distance. Defeat at Anfield, and an underwhelming performance in which Mbappe once again failed to impress, not least when seeing his penalty saved by Kelleher, will heighten the tension. Los Blancos have put everything into signing the former PSG star, and they can not afford for him to fail. Real are now sit in the very last play-off place in the Champions League – and in danger of missing out on qualification all together. So don't rule anything out. 3. How does this result shape Sunday’s big game for Liverpool against Manchester City? With Liverpool sitting eight points clear of nearest rivals City after only 11 games, Sunday’s clash between the two has huge significance – and their performance against Real will leave Arne Slot’s men as strong favourites. The fixture becomes even bigger when you consider City’s run of six matches without a victory all competitions – the longest in Pep Guardiola’s managerial career. It’s a run that include a 4-0 home humbling by Spurs as well as Premier League defeats at Bournemouth and Brighton, a 4-1 reverse at Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League, and a last-16 defeat at Tottenham in the League Cup. City also threw away a three-goal lead, at home, against Feyenoord in midweek to draw 3-3, leaving them 17th in the Champions League table after tonight’s results. It would be typical Guardiola to lead his team back to form with victory at Anfield, but that looks a long, long shot given the style and substance of Liverpool’s performance in Europe. The only cloud was a late injury to influential Ibrahima Konate, one of Liverpool’s players of the season so far, who appeared to hobble off the pitch with only three days to go until City arrive on Merseyside.

Dr. Christopher Kahler always wanted a career exploring "how people make meaning out of their lives." He planned to teach philosophy or literature. But when he got a job working with teens recovering from substance misuse, a different question emerged: How can people turn their lives around in a meaningful way? "I realized there was so much I didn't know," Kahler said. "How do you know what each person in recovery needs? And what about people who don't fit into a 12-step program or aren't ready to quit drinking?" So Kahler got a doctorate in clinical psychology and set out to learn everything about addiction. Today, he's a professor of behavioral and social sciences and psychiatry and human behavior and the director of the Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies at the Brown University School of Public Health in Providence, Rhode Island. Sales at beer, wine and liquor stores typically peak each year in December, according to data compiled by the Pew Research Center that also showed Americans, on average, have been drinking more in recent years. It's well known that drinking too much alcohol increases the risk for a range of health problems, including high blood pressure, stroke, breast cancer, liver disease and depression. In 2023, the World Health Organization published a statement saying that when it comes to alcohol, there's no safe amount that doesn't affect your health. With Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Year's Eve approaching, we asked Kahler what advice he gives to people trying to stay sober or not over-drink during the holiday party season. Here's what he had to say for " The Experts Say," an American Heart Association News series where specialists explain how they apply what they've learned to their own lives. His answers have been edited. What are the major obstacles to staying sober or drinking in moderation during the holidays? The main challenge is there's an extra layer of stress, with a lot of obligations and expectations from friends and family. We're around people who maybe we're not usually around, and in larger groups. It's also a time of heightened emotion and, for some people, loneliness. On top of that, alcohol use is built into a lot of our winter holiday traditions. It's often marketed as part of the "good life." We're expected to have alcohol when we celebrate. Are there triggers that might cause people to drink more than usual? You'll often hear the term "HALT" in regulating our behaviors. (The acronym is a mindfulness tool to identify and address emotional triggers.) Be careful of getting too hungry, angry, lonely or tired. Any of those things can make you crave alcohol that you otherwise wouldn't. Managing that can be hard during the holidays, when we're often going to bed, waking up and eating at different times than normal. What are some good strategies for people trying to stay sober or not over-drink during the holidays? There are several ways: Set an intention. Whatever your goal is, the most important part is to make a plan and really think it through. What have holiday seasons and alcohol looked like for you in the past? What feelings are likely to come up? If you drink alcohol, how much is too much for you? If you've quit drinking, the intentions are really clear: Be grateful for the benefits that sobriety has had for you, and take stock of the importance of maintaining that through the holiday season. If you're trying to stay sober, plan ahead. If you've been involved in a recovery program like Alcoholics Anonymous and you'll be away from home, find out about in-person meetings in the area or options for virtual meetings. Make sure you have the number of a sponsor you can call over the holidays. Memorize your response. It's important to know what you're going to say about your alcohol use. If someone asks if they can get you a drink, good responses could be: "A glass of water would be great" or "Do you have any non-alcoholic cider?" You don't have to explain yourself. Just ask for what you do want, because saying no to someone can be difficult. Mix it up and slow it down. If you want to limit the number of drinks you have, alternate between an alcoholic and a non-alcoholic drink. It will slow down how much alcohol you drink and give your body a chance to feel its effects and know how much it's affecting you. A general rule of thumb is anything more than one drink in two hours is going to lead to increasing levels of intoxication. Seek help. One symptom of an alcohol use disorder is making repeated efforts to either cut down or avoid drinking and not being able to do it. At that point, you should talk to your primary care physician or go to a self-help or mutual-help program. The Alcohol Treatment Navigator from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism can help identify options available in your area. What is your own personal history with alcohol? Alcohol was part of my family life growing up. Like the vast majority of people, I had family and friends who were impacted by alcohol problems. So the commitment to helping people is personal for me. I do drink. There were a number of years when I did not drink simply because I was working on research with people who were not drinking and it felt like the most comfortable thing to do. It also helped me reevaluate my relationship with alcohol. When I do drink, I drink very consciously, thinking about what effects I'm trying to get, what the risks are, and how I minimize those. What other advice do you have about alcohol use and misuse? It's important to avoid stigmatizing alcohol use and addiction and blaming people for having a problem. We don't stigmatize people for having a heart attack, which is something I had when I was 49. One thing I learned going through cardiac rehabilitation was that being willing to accept help from others is not always easy. It's not what we're used to. But getting help from other people is a natural and wonderfully human thing, whether it's help with an alcohol problem or heart disease. Accepting what's happened and accepting help from others are vital steps in living a healthy life.
at a popular holiday destination along the Australian coast in the new year, with authorities looking to "protect the sensitive environment" by "stopping mass congregation of vehicles" on the sand. It's the latest in a growing list of camping hotspots around the country , as governments in coastal regions in particular work to preserve fragile ecosystems, many already battling significant issues like erosion, . From February 3, 2025, overnight camping will not be permitted on Wauraltee Beach, including the area known as Second Beach, on the York Peninsula in South Australia. According to the state's Department for Environment, the decision is supported by the Northern and Yorke Landscape Board, Yorke Peninsula Council and community leaders. It said the increased popularity of off-road 4WD vehicles has seen more of them being driven on SA's beaches in recent years, creating problems for local ecosystems. Social media sharing of "secret spots", it added, has also resulted in "many places becoming so popular that the environment cannot sustain the level of use". National Parks and Wildlife Service National Parks Programs Director Jason Irving clarified that there's "no intention" to ban all vehicles from beaches broadly across the state. Rather, the government is trying to find the line between "visitor enjoyment" and the "need to protect native flora and fauna". "Large camping vehicles are being driven onto the beach in mass numbers with the purpose of remaining overnight and this is the challenge we are aiming to address," he said in a statement. "The new rules for vehicle access at Wauraltee Beach seek to ensure its environmental values are protected, while still allowing people to enjoy recreational activities such as boating and fishing. "Wauraltee Beach is a special place but it will not stay that way for future generations if it is constantly damaged by a mass number of vehicles." Daytime vehicle access will remain for boat launching and recreation, the government said. In addition to the environmental concerns, safety issues have also been raised at the spot, over the sheer volume of people turning up to 4WD. "The number of vehicles accessing Wauraltee Beach has grown exponentially to the point where holiday periods and long weekends result in hundreds of people camping on the beach in large vehicles," the environment department said. This creates a safety issue, particularly for families with young children. New signage at Wauraltee Beach will remind visitors of the changes. But the government said educating beachgoers will be the first priority — with wardens told to be fair and reasonable when administering compliance. Wildlife concerns including the disruption to birdlife such shorebirds, the fairy tern, eastern curlew, hooded plover, and red knot, were also a factor in the decision. Sand dunes are particularly vulnerable, with vehicle use causing vegetation and root system damage that triggers sand drift and erosion. Other impacts include permanent damage to cultural sites, artefacts, and places, as well as weed infestations introduced by vehicle tyres. Sand compaction from vehicle traffic also affects the natural movement and distribution of the coastal ecosystem.
