N.B. municipal by-elections show feast or famine on candidates amid challenging political timesMINNEAPOLIS -- More than 100 people were waiting in the Minnesota Vikings locker room Sunday evening for one man. Sam Darnold was conducting a pair of on-field interviews after his team's 27-25 victory over the Green Bay Packers , and no one -- owners, coaches, players, front office staff members -- wanted to begin the celebration without him. So they waited for Darnold to speak with Fox Sports reporter Tom Rinaldi. Then they waited a few more minutes while Fox Sports analyst Tom Brady awarded Darnold his "LFG" trophy for the game. "We felt like we waited for a long time," coach Kevin O'Connell said. In the meantime, linebacker Jonathan Greenard launched a plan to commemorate Darnold's eventual arrival. They mobbed him as he ran through the door , pouring what linebacker Blake Cashman called "a waterfall of water" over him and eventually lifted him onto their shoulders -- all to honor a season that has the Vikings headed to their biggest regular-season game in recent memory. Editor's Picks Judging overreactions to Week 17: The Giants lost by winning, and the Chiefs might want to lose next week 2h Dan Graziano After loss, Packers eye new narrative vs. top teams 55m Rob Demovsky Week 17 lingering questions and big performances -- including the Vikings' big win and Saquon Barkley's milestone 59m NFL Nation Darnold smiled throughout his postgame news conference with local reporters, even offering a rare glimpse of his personality by referencing the movie "Talladega Nights." "It was mayhem," Darnold said. "I think I blacked out when [players] grabbed me and lifted me up. I didn't know what to do with my hands in that situation, Ricky Bobby-style. That was an interesting moment but a fun moment to be embraced by your teammates like that." The Vikings are now set for a winner-take-all Week 18 game at the Detroit Lions to determine both the NFC North title and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. None of it would have been possible without Darnold, who signed a one-year contract in March to serve as a short-term starter until rookie J.J. McCarthy was ready to take over. McCarthy's season-ending knee injury left Darnold to start all 16 of the Vikings' games. He has won 14, breaking the NFL record for most victories by a quarterback in his first season with a team. His season-high 377 passing yards pushed him to the first 4,000-yard season of his career, and his three touchdown passes Sunday gave him 35 for the season, the fourth-most in NFL history for a quarterback in his first season with a team. "He's playing quarterback at a very, very high level," O'Connell said, "and has been for the majority of the season. You can tell by the locker room. You can tell by the way I call plays. I know for us to get to where we want to go, we've got to be aggressive, and we've got to play football in a way that allows us to have our whole offense at our disposal." Indeed, O'Connell once again relied on Darnold to execute his unconventional but now unsurprising approach to finishing close games. As the Packers cut a 17-point deficit to two points in the fourth quarter, O'Connell did not simply rely on his running game to take time off the clock and/or force the Packers to use their timeouts. Instead, in their final two possessions, Darnold threw on six of the Vikings' seven plays before kneeling down on the final three. Darnold completed four of those passes for 46 yards, including a 6-yard floater to running back Cam Akers on third-and-2 -- which Akers caught inches from the ground -- to seal the game. "When guys are packing the box trying to stop the run, I know that [O'Connell] is going to be aggressive if that's the case," Darnold said. "Obviously, there's been times throughout the course of the season where we have tried to run it. So it's not always going to be that way. But whenever he does call a pass in that situation, I'm always prepared for it, and I feel like our guys did a really good job of executing that." As the locker room cleared out about 30 minutes later, Akers was one of the last players remaining. He was still grinning about what he called an "electric" moment. "He deserves that," Akers said. "He's put in a lot of work to be here, and we're all behind him -- the players and the staff.""Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

The German government pledged Sunday to fully investigate whether there were security lapses before the Christmas market car-ramming attack that killed five people and injured over 200. Political pressure has built on the question of potential missed warnings about Saudi suspect Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old psychiatrist who had made online deaths threats and previously had trouble with the law. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser and the heads of Germany's domestic and foreign intelligence services are due to answer questions at parliamentary committee hearings on December 30, a senior lawmaker told AFP. Faeser vowed Sunday that "no stone will be left unturned" in shedding light on what information had been available to security services ahead of last Friday's bloody attack in the eastern city of Magdeburg. She stressed that the attacker did "not fit any previous pattern" because "he acted like an Islamist terrorist although ideologically he was clearly an enemy of Islam". Abdulmohsen has in the past called himself a "Saudi atheist" who helped women flee Gulf countries and charged Germany was doing too little to help them. In online posts, he also strongly criticised Germany for allowing in too many Muslim refugees and backed far-right conspiracy theories about the "Islamisation" of Europe. In one post, he wrote: "Is there a path to justice in Germany without blowing up a German embassy or randomly slaughtering German citizens?... If anyone knows it, please let me know." News magazine Der Spiegel, citing security sources, said the Saudi secret service had warned Germany's spy agency BND a year ago about a tweet in which Abdulmohsen threatened Germany would pay a "price" for how it treated Saudi refugees. Die Welt daily reported, also citing security sources, that German state and federal police had carried out a "risk assessment" on Abdulmohsen last year but concluded that he posed "no specific danger". The city of Magdeburg has been in deep mourning over the mass carnage on Friday evening, when an SUV smashed through a crowd at its Christmas market, killing four women and a nine-year-old child and injuring 205 people. Surgeons at overwhelmed hospitals have worked around the clock, and one health worker told local media of "blood on the floor everywhere, people screaming, lots of painkillers being administered". Scholz on Saturday condemned the "terrible, insane" attack and made a call for national unity, at a time Germany is headed for early elections on February 23. But as German media dug into Abdulmohsen's past, and investigators gave away little, criticism rained down from opposition parties. Conservative CDU lawmaker Alexander Throm charged that "many citizens feel... that the Scholz government has completely failed in terms of internal security". He demanded greater police powers to monitor and analyse data from social media platforms, telecommunications and surveillance cameras with facial recognition technology. The far-right AfD called for a special session of parliament, and the head of the far-left BSW party, Sahra Wagenknecht, demanded that Faeser explain "why so many tips and warnings were ignored beforehand". Mass-circulation daily Bild asked: "Why did our police and intelligence services do nothing, even though they had the Saudi on their radar?... And why were the tips from Saudi Arabia apparently ignored?" It charged that "German authorities usually only find out about attack plans in time when foreign services warn them" and called for sweeping reforms after the election for a complete "turnaround in internal security". Senior MP Dirk Wiese of Scholz's Social Democrats said the December 30 hearings will summon the heads of the BND, the domestic intelligence service BfV and the Office for Migration and Refugees. Media meanwhile reported more details on Abdulmohsen, who had worked at a clinic that treats offenders with substance addiction problems, but had been on sick leave since late October. Der Spiegel reported that in 2013 a court fined him for "disturbing the public peace by threatening to commit crimes" after he had darkly referenced the deadly attack on the Boston marathon. The chairwoman of the group Central Council of Ex-Muslims, Mina Ahadi, said Abdulmohsen "is no stranger to us, because he has been terrorising us for years". She labelled him "a psychopath who adheres to ultra-right conspiracy ideologies" and said he "doesn't just hate Muslims, but everyone who doesn't share his hatred." bur/fz/gv

Dana Announces Leadership Transition and Actions to Accelerate Value CreationThe Aam Aadmi Party defended Naresh Balyan, claiming that his arrest was illegal. (File) AAP legislator Naresh Balyan was arrested in Delhi on Saturday in connection with an extortion case lodged last year, police said. The MLA from Delhi's Uttam Nagar Assembly segment was called to the Delhi Police's Crime Branch office in R K Puram for questioning and was later arrested, they said. The development came hours after the BJP alleged that Naresh Balyan was involved in extortion activities and questioned why AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal has not taken action against him. The Aam Aadmi Party defended Naresh Balyan, claiming that his arrest was illegal. The MLA had refuted the BJP's allegations and said he would lodge police cases against those who "spread lies" about him. A police official said that an audio clip of a conversation purportedly between Naresh Balyan and gangster Kapil Sangwan, currently based abroad, had gone viral on social media. The conversation involved discussions about collecting extortion money from businessmen, he said, adding further investigation and interrogation was underway. AAP MP Sanjay Singh alleged that since Arvind Kejriwal has started raising the issue of law and order and rising crime in Delhi, the BJP and the central government are "trying to harass and conspire against his party leaders". "Naresh Balyan has been arrested under this conspiracy and the charges against him are baseless," Sanjay Singh claimed. Promoted Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com "The BJP leaders have played a fake audio despite the High Court's order against it. Naresh Balyan himself complained to the police about multiple threats received by him from the gangster Kapil Sangwan," he claimed (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)
The economy enters 2025 in reasonably good shape, with a low unemployment rate, modest inflation, a trend toward declining interest rates and strong corporate profit growth that has been giving the stock market a lift. It's thus not a bad backdrop for getting a fresh start on improving your finances. Here are some trends, issues and tips to mind in coming weeks: Choose a savings resolution, and stick to it New Year's resolutions can provide the motivation to improve your financial situation in many ways, such as building up your retirement plan, reviewing your insurance policies or getting started (or updating) an estate plan. However, the resolution most Americans are focusing on heading into 2025 is more basic: Sock more money into emergency savings. You can hold money in various forms from a money-market mutual fund to laddered bank certificates of deposit (those coming due in intervals such as every three months). Capitalize on high interest rates: Best current CD rates The idea is to have enough liquid cash to meet big unexpected expenses while earning at least a modest yield in the meantime. In a Fidelity Investments surve y, 72% of respondents said they suffered a notable financial setback this year, with nearly half having to dip into their emergency funds to pay for it. It’s thus no surprise that 79% of respondents hope to build up their cash reserves, 38% worry about unexpected expenses and 20% say another surprise could set them back in 2025. Women, more than men, said they didn’t have an emergency fund to dip into, but 80% of them resolved to build one in 2025. Get relief from a consumer-friendly banking rule A new rule that could help some of the most hard-pressed consumers is one that mandates lower overdraft fees at banks . The federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in December issued a final rule that it said will cut typical overdraft fees from $35 per transaction to $5, saving an average of $225 annually for the 23 million or so households that pay such charges. Bank critics contend the charges hit lower-income people hard. Overdraft fees are “a form of predatory lending that exacerbates wealth disparities and racial inequalities,” said Carla Sanchez-Adams, senior attorney at the National Consumer Law Center, in a statement. Some banks including Capital One, Citibank and Ally Bank already have eliminated these fees. Consumer advocates hail the new rule but caution that it faces the risk of being overturned by Congress. That, they say, could come with simple majority votes in the Senate and House, with limited debate. Get a jump on tax season, and use free filing services The IRS is suggesting several steps that can be taken soon for people hoping to get a jump on the filing season for 2024 tax returns. These include gathering and organizing tax records, making an estimated fourth-quarter quarterly payment (if required) by Jan. 15, 2025, and opening an IRS Online Account. Income brackets, deductions and other tax aspects have changed a bit owing to inflation adjustments . The IRS last year piloted a no-cost, easy-to-use Direct File system in 12 states. It’s designed for taxpayers with relatively simple situations. The IRS plans to expand access this filing season to 12 more states including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, North Carolina and Oregon. That sets up a potentially confusing situation where residents of roughly half the country will be eligible, while the other half won't have access. Keep an eye on the favorable corporate-profit trend Baring a last-second collapse, the stock market will finish 2024 with its second consecutive annual gain of more than 20%. Rising corporate profits or earnings have been the key catalyst, and the picture might improve in the coming year. If you're an investor, that's a favorable sign. Earnings for stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 index likely will finish up 7.4% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. That's according to Sheraz Mian, who as research director at Zacks Investment Research tracks what investment analysts forecast for the companies they follow. Earnings growth could accelerate to 10.9% in the first quarter of 2025, 12.5% in the second and 11.3% in the third, he said. Tech stocks account for a big chunk of the profit gains, led by the "Magnificent 7" of Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla, and supported by trends including artificial intelligence, advanced computing and robotics. Will 2025 witness a slowdown here? Not necessarily, as tech is "among the few sectors whose earnings outlook is steadily improving," Mian said. Give yourself a financial de-clutter check Inflation was a big story this year and will continue to make headlines in 2025. If you're feeling the pinch, it might be time to conduct a thorough review of your spending habits. Take a close look at the many monthly or quarterly expenses that you routinely pay without thinking much about them. “Audit your spending habits,” suggested John Pharr, a certified public accountant in Florida. “So often we spend money mindlessly with little planning or on things that don’t serve us well.” Auto, home and other types of insurance are a case in point. Review your coverage with an eye on making sure you have an appropriate amount of coverage and suitable deductibles. It might be time to shop around for better deals. Other expenses that we sometimes view as “needs” really are “wants” that could be trimmed. Pharr cites subscriptions for streaming platforms, gym memberships, meal deliveries and cell phone and cable-TV services. “Sometimes rates keep rising and we just keep paying without checking into other options,” he said.
