Seattle Seahawks receiver is DK Metcalf is just fine when he doesn't have the the ball because it means he gets to showcase his blocking skills. “I just look at it as a sign of respect that I’ve gained from other defensive coordinators and just continue to do my job with it as blocking or being a decoy,” the two-time Pro Bowler said. While opposing defenses have keyed in on Metcalf, other aspects of Seattle's offense have surfaced during its four-game winning streak. The run has the Seahawks (8-5) sitting atop the NFC West heading into Sunday night's game against the visiting Green Bay Packers (9-4). Geno Smith's new top target is second-year receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who needs 89 receiving yards for his first career 1,000-yard season. Smith-Njigba has 75 catches for 911 yards and five touchdowns, while Metcalf, often dealing with double coverage, has 54 catches for 812 yards and two scores. Metcalf says he feels the pride of a “proud parent or a big brother” when it comes to Smith-Njigba's success. Seattle's offense also got a boost from the ground game in a 30-18 victory over the Arizona Cardinals last weekend . Zach Charbonnet, filling in for the injured Kenneth Walker III, ran for a career-best 134 yards and two touchdowns. The Seahawks face another hot team in the Packers (9-4), who have won seven of nine. Green Bay's two losses over that stretch have come against NFC-best Detroit (12-1), including a 34-31 victory by the Lions on Dec. 5, which means the NFC North title is likely out of reach for the Packers. The Packers are well-positioned for a playoff berth, but that almost certainly won't come this weekend. They would need a win, a loss or tie by the Atlanta Falcons and a tie between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers. Metcalf, who learned to block from his father, former Chicago Bears offensive lineman Terrence Metcalf, says he tries to take blocking seriously to set himself apart from other receivers. His priorities are simple when he's getting double-teamed and the ball goes elsewhere. “Trying to block my (butt) off and trying to get pancakes on defensive backs,” he said. When the Packers surged their way into the playoffs last season, quarterback Jordan Love was a major reason why. He had 18 touchdown passes and one interception during Green Bay's final eight games. During the last four games of this season, Love ranks third in the NFL with a 118.9 passer rating with six touchdowns, one interception and a league-best 10.3 yards per attempt. “I always feel like I can put the ball where I want to — and that’s part of it, too, having that confidence to be able to throw those passes,” Love said. “There’s always like I said a handful of plays that might not come off or be in the exact spot that you wanted it to or the throw might be a little bit off. So, that’s where you’ve just got to try to be at your best every play, be consistent and accurate as possible.” Green Bay’s pass defense has been picked apart the last two weeks. First, it was torched by Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins in a Packers win. Next, it allowed Jared Goff to complete his final 13 passes as the Lions rallied to victory. It won’t get any easier this week. Smith is second in the NFL in attempts, completions and passing yards and is fifth in completion percentage. “It’s been a remarkable turnaround for him in terms of just where he started,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “It’s not always where you start, but where you finish. And it tells me a lot about the person in terms of his resiliency and ability to fight through some adversity. He’s a dangerous quarterback.” The potential return of former All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) could help the Packers. Will the Packers break out their head-to-toe white uniforms? The last time Green Bay wore the winter white look was in a 24-22 win over Houston in October. The Packers asked fans to weigh in on social media . As for the Seahawks, they'll be sporting their “Action Green” uniforms. Metcalf is a fan. “I would say this about the Action Green, I love them personally in my opinion, but the big guys hate them. I don’t know why, don’t ask me," he said. “Hopefully, the Packers wear all white, so it’ll be a fun-looking game.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflEXCLUSIVE: Small Caps Hit Records As Expert Says Russell 2000 'Still Very Discounted' Compared To S&P 500 - Benzingamagical ocean mom

LAS VEGAS — If Texas coach Steve Sarkisian holds aloft the College Football Playoff trophy next month, that will be bad news for BetMGM Sportsbook. It would be similarly disappointing if any of the coaches at Boise State, Indiana or Arizona State end up celebrating a title with confetti falling all around them inside Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Wait, what? Texas has attracted a lot of money all season to go all the way, but those other schools provide the hope of a big payoff. The fifth-seeded Longhorns are the co-favorite at BetMGM with No. 1 and unbeaten Oregon at 7-2 odds; the other three are least 40-1, while Georgia is right behind Oregon and Texas as the next favorite. "These teams get hot and people just want to have a flyer on them," BetMGM trading manager Seamus Magee said. "They don't want to be standing there and not have a ticket on some of these long-shot teams." Expanding the playoff field from four to 12 teams this year meant more betting in general on college football and more varieties of wagering on the postseason. There were meaningful games played in the final month by not only Arizona State, Boise State and Indiana, but also SMU, Army and UNLV — a number of teams not always in the national title conversation. "It's one of the highest handles we've ever had on our national-championship market," Magee said. "We're in more states, for one, but the activity and the betting patterns we're seeing, it definitely feels a lot more than it has in years past." Magee said BetMGM has received action on both sides of the first-round game between 11th-seeded SMU and sixth-seeded Penn State, but the Mustangs have drawn notable action at DraftKings and Caesars Sportsbook. Money on SMU dropped Penn State from a 9-point favorite at DraftKings to 8 1/2. "Any time they've played a real good team, they've had trouble," Johnny Avello, DraftKings race and sports operations director, said of the Nittany Lions. "SMU shows that they're pretty good on both sides of the football and pretty resilient as a team. Always in the game. Always finds ways to fight back." Joey Feazel, who oversees football trading for Caesars, said much of the early betting in general was on underdogs. "Usually, you see the dog money for these teams come late, especially on the sharps' (professional bettors) side," Feazel said. Boise State, which as the third seed has a first-round bye, will be the underdog in its quarterfinal matchup with Penn State or SMU. The Broncos got into the field as the highest-ranked Group of Five champion, but Avello said that doesn't mean they are one of the nation's top 12 teams (they are ranked No. 8 by AP and No. 9 by CFP). Avello said BYU, Colorado and Miami — none of which made the playoff — all would be favored over them. "There are a lot of teams that aren't in the playoffs that would be favored," Avello said. "That's just not the way these playoffs work." Feazel said Boise State not being able to play at home on its blue carpet will be a notable disadvantage. Boise State's quarterfinal game will be at the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona. "It will be all neutral," Feazel said. "It's a big step up in class for Boise." Instead of all the games being played in climate-controlled domes or warm-weather locales — as has been in the case in past postseasons — three of the four first-round matchups will take place in the Northeast and Midwest. While that might not make a difference when Notre Dame hosts in-state foe Indiana, Ohio State will be at home against Tennessee and SMU visits Penn State. BetMGM favors all four home teams by more than a touchdown. "You have to take the weather into account for some of these games," Magee said. "It's going to be really cool to see a team like Tennessee that will have to go up to Columbus, where it can get really cold. SMU has to go from Dallas to Happy Valley. That's definitely going to be one of the coldest games a lot of those kids have played in their lives." SMU was the last team in the field, getting the benefit of the doubt over Alabama. The Mustangs had one fewer defeat than the three-loss Crimson Tide, who did not appear in the SEC title game. SMU lost on a 56-yard field goal to Clemson in the ACC championship. The sportsbook operators said the Tide would be favored by 5-10 points if they met SMU on a neutral field.

Sure, some of the recipes would-be influencers recommend are in fact pretty abominable — check out @chefreactions on TikTok, Instagram or X for many, many examples — but I have stumbled across some pretty good recipes on many occasions, too.

There are probably as many recipes for Marry Me chicken on social media as there are cooks. (Delish claims to have created the video recipe for the original dish, also known as Tuscan chicken, in 2016.) But in my opinion, the best variations hang their chef’s hat on a sauce made with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and cream. Yum! This rich and luxurious entree is a definite step above the “engagement” chicken that caused a similar stir when it made its debut in Glamour magazine in 2004. That proposal-worthy recipe — saved for posterity in the 2011 cookbook “100 Recipes Every Woman Should Know: Engagement Chicken and 99 Other Fabulous Dishes to Get You Everything You Want in Life” — featured a whole chicken roasted with lemon and herbs. Awesome for sure, but not nearly as swoon worthy. I’ve been married for a very long time, so I’m not looking for a dish that will get me engaged. But who wouldn’t want applause when they put dinner on the table? That’s how Delish’s original recipe made it into the latest installment of “Dinner for Four for $25.” Usually when I’m building these economical meals, I do all my shopping in one store. This time, I shopped over the course of a weekend at some of my favorite haunts to see if that made a difference. (And no, I didn’t factor in the cost of gas, but maybe should have!) First stop after downing my Saturday morning latte and Nutella mele at a street-side table at Colangelo’s in the Strip District: Wholey’s Market, where I found boneless chicken breast at the bargain price of $3.89 per pound. I then crossed the street and headed down the block to Pennsylvania Macaroni Co., where I found several varieties of sun-dried tomatoes to chose from. I went with a jar of Ponti sun-dried cherry tomatoes for $5.09 — a definite splurge when your budget is only $25, but an ingredient I knew would deliver plenty of flavor. At Aldi, I found a bag of five huge lemons for $3.89, or 78 cents apiece, and a nice package of fresh broccoli for $2.28. A bargain, considering I would only use about two-thirds of it. The German supermarket chain known for its low prices and no-frills shopping experience (you have to deposit a quarter to get a shopping cart) also had butter — a main ingredient in my sandwich cookie dessert — on sale for $3.99 a pound. A bag of powdered sugar was pretty cheap, too, at just $2.09 for a two-pound bag. “Shopping” my pantry for ingredients I always have on hand, including garlic, olive oil, spices, rice, molasses and vanilla, once again helped keep costs down. Total bill: $24.38, or 62 cents under budget. Not bad when you consider the homemade dessert recipe makes more oatmeal sandwich cookies than a family can/should eat at one sitting. Marry Me Chicken PG tested Sun-dried tomatoes could be considered a splurge item because even a tiny jar is expensive, but their concentrated, sweet and tangy tomato goodness add so much flavor to a dish! They are certainly the star of this chicken dish that has been making the rounds on social media platforms. Some say the entree is so good, you’ll get a marriage proposal out of it. At any rate, the Parmesan cream sauce that gets spooned on top of the chicken and rice will certainly make your diners swoon. This original recipe from Delish.com is a pretty easy dish to get on the table in quick fashion. Just remember to use a dry pot holder to take the pan out of the oven because it will be very hot; I very stupidly used a damp dish towel and now have another cooking scar. 4 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 3/4 cup chicken broth 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan Fresh basil, torn, for serving, optional Cooked rice, for serving Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Generously season chicken with salt and black pepper and cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate. In same skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in garlic, thyme and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, tomatoes, cream, and Parmesan; season with salt. Bring to a simmer, then return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake chicken until cooked through and juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife, 10-12 minutes. Arrange chicken on a platter. Spoon sauce over. Top with basil, if using, and serve with cooked rice. Serves 4. — delish.com Broccoli with Lemon PG tested Broccoli is a reliable veggie when you need a little something extra to round out a meal and don’t want to spend a fortune. Here, it’s blanched until crisp-tender and then tossed with lemon juice and zest and a pinch of red pepper flakes. I used lemon olive oil (already on hand) for an extra burst of citrus flavor. 1 large bunch broccoli, separated into florets 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter 1 clove garlic, minced Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon 1 pinch (or two) red pepper flakes Flaky salt and freshly ground ground black pepper, to taste Place broccolini in a large skillet with about 2 inches of water; bring to a boil and cook until bright green, 1-2 minutes. Drain. Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook until golden and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add broccoli; cook and stir until heated through, 2-3 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice and zest over broccoli and season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Serves 4. — Gretchen McKay, Post-Gazette Oatmeal Cream Cookies PG tested Remember how if you were lucky when you were a kid you got an individually wrapped Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie in your lunchbox? These soft and chewy oatmeal cookies sandwiched with vanilla buttercream taste exactly the same. Actually, they’re better because they’re not made with corn syrup and artificial flavorings, but rather real butter and brown sugar. It’s important to let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a rack. Otherwise they will fall apart. The icing is very sweet, so you might want to reduce the amount of powdered sugar. For cookies 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1 tablespoon molasses 1 large egg, room temperature 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt For filling 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 3 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons heavy cream 2 teaspoons vanilla Pinch of salt Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line two sheet pans with parchment paper. In stand mixer outfitted with whisk attachment add butter, brown sugar and molasses and beat on low speed until combined. Gradually increase speed to medium-high and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl with spatula, then add egg and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until combined. Add flour, oats, baking soda and salt and beat on low speed until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Use a 1/2 -ounce cookie scoop tor tablespoon measure to portion out equal amounts of dough. Roll the dough in your hands to smooth the edges, then place 2 inches apart on prepared pans. Bake until cookies have puffed up and are set and firm around the edges but still somewhat soft in the middle, 9-11 minutes. Remove sheet pans from oven and allow cookies to rest on the pans for 5 minutes, then use a metal spatula to transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cookies have cooled, make filling. In stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter, confectioners’ sugar, cream, vanilla and salt. Beat on low speed, gradually increasing the speed to high, until creamy and fully incorporated, about 45 seconds. If filling is dry, add a small splash or two of cream. Assemble cookies. Using a small offset spatula or butter knife to spread about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the bottom side of one cookie, then place second cookie on top to sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and serve. Makes 16 sandwich cookies. —”Sweet Tooth” by Sarah Fennel (Clarkson Potter, $35) ©2024 PG Publishing Co. Visit at post-gazette.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.By Sebastian Kanally, Times Chronicle The fire alarm shouldn’t be pulled yet as a new report cools some concerns over Oliver’s current and future housing needs. Oliver was given a positive assessment around how it is addressing its housing needs in all instances except rental housing, the newly completed housing needs report shows. Housing needs are increasing; Oliver will need to build 302 additional housing units over the next five years and an estimated 1,107 housing units over the next 20 years to keep up with demand. This averages out to building 55 to 60 housing units annually, which Lorraine Copas, executive director of the Social Planning Research Council of British Columbia (SPARC BC) noted the town is on target to hit those numbers. This was one of the positive notes that came out of Copas presentation of Oliver’s 2024 Housing Needs Report to town council on December 9, 2024. Under the Local Government Act, all local governments in the province are required to complete a housing needs report and certain changes were made to how they must be prepared in June of this year. In her presentation, Copas noted that when it comes to areas such as Oliver’s housing profile, whether the town is building the right type of housing, and whether there is a diversity of housing stock, “all of these measures Oliver did extremely well, except the rental.” “Your rental has been relatively flat, and a lot of your rental is in that secondary rental market, which as ownership opportunities emerge, you are displacing those renters and without that inventory of social housing, or purpose-built rental housing, this can be very difficult for the community to keep up with rental demand.” For example, Copas noted Oliver only has 29 units of non-market family housing, pointing to the fact that there is a higher need for rental in the community. This demand for rental housing was identified as an important area of focus for Oliver, along with “planning for the needs of an aging population as well as seeking to understand the needs of those who are precariously housed or living with a high level of housing insecurity,” the report explains. Mayor Martin Johansen commented that this report will help the town “when we decide what type of housing to support here in Oliver, it’s going to give us some direction.” Johansen continued to explain that multi-family housing and rental housing are what the town needs the most and they have tried to support that, “but it is not an easy thing to get off the ground with development costs and stuff like that.” Councillor Petra Veintimilla also commented on the report, saying “It is always reassuring to hear that we are on track to meet the projected targets in every instance except rentals, that helps us in making decisions about projects in which we may want to be a little more flexible, maybe make a few more allowances, those sorts of things, to be able to target the energies towards the specific housing which we are deficient in.” Copas did explain that even though the report says that they are on target for building the needed number of houses for future needs, it doesn’t prescribe whether it is ownership or rental housing. “The idea is that you have the infrastructure in place, that you are using your regulatory and zoning approvals in ways that can incentivize denser forms of housing still suitable to the community, and that you are looking at ways to encourage partnerships that can help meet the needs of the lower end of the housing and income continuum.” The diagnosis that the town is on track to reach those projected numbers is based on the number of building permits issued, development approvals, and zoned capacity within the town. When it comes to the underlying numbers about how much housing Oliver actually has and how affordable it really is, the numbers are as follows. As a community, as of 2021, there were 5,094 people living in Oliver in 2,312 households. Of this population 1,905 residents were aged 65 and older, 800 were under 20 years old, and 350 people moved to Oliver in 2020. Who can afford to live in Oliver? The average household income in Oliver was $83,400. For renter households, it was $57,600. The median household income was $71,000, with renter households being lower at $46,400. The average monthly housing cost for owners was $1,100, which is compared to $904 in 2016. The average monthly cost for renters was $1,028, which is compared to $877 in 2016. The affordability threshold for average rent in 2021 was $41,120. There are people who are in core housing need, and extreme housing need in Oliver. This means that they are paying more for housing than what is considered “affordable”. Affordability is defined nationally as spending no more than 30 per cent of your income on housing. There are 440 households spending 30 per cent or more of their income on housing. That is 19 per cent of all households in Oliver. The affordability numbers are much worse for renters in Oliver. While 130 households are in core housing need, 5.6 per cent of all households, 80 of these are renters. That means 61.5 per cent of all households in core housing need are renters. There are 65 households in extreme core housing need. Extreme core housing need means that you are spending more than 50 per cent of your income on housing and are likely at risk of losing it. The last housing needs report was completed in Oliver in 2020. Veintimilla noted this in the discussion, explaining that she hopes this report will be more relevant for longer. She explained it seemed like the 2020 housing report was irrelevant within six months because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Macron to name new French PM Friday after days of deadlockThe Minnesota Wild have come out strong this season, posting an impressive 13-3-4 record through 20 games. Their fast start has surprised many, including their own fans, especially after they missed the playoffs last year. With their current performance, they’re quickly making a statement and exceeding expectations. The team is also dealing with a few minor injuries to key players, including Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello, and Joel Eriksson Ek. The good news is that all 3 are expected to be back soon, with Kaprizov potentially returning as soon as tonight. Buy Minnesota Wild stock now..? It’s pretty wild (no pun intended) that sportsbooks are still overlooking how solid the Minnesota Wild have been this season. Despite their strong performance, they’re sitting at 20/1 odds to win the Stanley Cup, which puts them 13th overall. How does that even make sense? The top sports books in the country, including DraftKings , FanDuel , and ESPN Bet , all have the Minnesota Wild listed at +2000 (20/1). Here’s a look at the teams currently ranked ahead of the Wild on the betting market. FLA Panthers: +800 EDM Oilers: +800 CAR Hurricanes: +800 DAL Stars: +900 NY Rangers: +1000 TOR Maple Leafs: +1100 COL Avalanche: +1200 NJ Devils: +1400 WPG Jets: +1400 VGK Golden Knights: +1800 VAN Canucks: +1800 TB Lightning: +1800 MIN Wild: +2000 DraftKings Out of the teams ranked ahead of the Minnesota Wild in the betting odds, only one is actually ahead of them in the current standings, the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets are sitting comfortably at 34 points, while the Wild are close behind with 30 points. For some reason, Vegas sees the Minnesota Wild as a non factor. Sure, their winning pace might slow down, but this team has already proven they’re legit. So far, they’ve shown they can beat anyone. Only time will tell if they can keep it up. With Vegas not being sold on the Minnesota Wild yet, that could work in your favor. If they keep up their winning ways, their odds are only going to drop as the season goes on. So, if you’re into betting, now might be the perfect time to grab them at a good value before those odds get tighter.

Fans were quick to congratulate Lisa on the new baby with one writing: "Congratulations on the new addition to your family," and another adding: "Congratulations to you all, Jude is gorgeous." A third left the comment: "Look at his perfect little features xx Congratulations." Ant and Lisa split in 2018 after they were together for 23 years, having met as teenagers and got engaged in 2005. The pair tied the knot in 2006 but sadly the marriage wasn't to last. They currently share custody of their pet pooch, called Hurley. According to The Sun , Lisa wants full custody of their dog, which has reportedly been a point of contention between the pair in the past. At the time of their split, Ant released a statement through his spokesperson which read: "Ant is very sad to announce that after 11 years, he is ending his marriage to Lisa McPartlin. Ant asks for privacy at this difficult time, for both himself, Lisa and their immediate families. No further statement will be made."

The Britain's Got Talent presenter remarried in 2021 to Anne-Marie Corbett. They welcomed their first child together – a son called Wilder – on 14 May 2024. Ant is also a stepfather to Anne-Marie's two children, Daisy and Poppy from Anne-Marie's previous marriage to businessman, Scott Corbett. While Ant prefers to keep his personal life out of the media, he did make a rare comment about his stepdaughters. He spoke about his blended family to The Telegraph in 2021: "I've got two stepdaughters, 13 and 15, and they are more socially aware at that age than I was in my mid-20s - than I still am." Ant and Anne Marie currently live in Wimbledon together and occasionally Ant's house features online. He used to reside near to his fellow presenter Declan Donnelly in Chiswick, but gave that house up when he split from Lisa. Lisa has had a relationship since Ant, but she split from her partner James Green in 2023.Drew Lock likely to start at QB for the Giants against the Colts on Sunday

Autry scores 16 as George Washington downs Illinois State 72-64Still aiming to become a global leader in AI, the United States announced it will be moving forward on initiatives to incorporate generative AI into the inner workings of the Department of Defense (DoD)— just as AI's creators pitch their offerings to major defense contractors . Announced today, the office will be moving ahead with a new $100 million AI Rapid Capabilities Cell "focused on accelerating DoD adoption of next-generation artificial intelligence," including generative AI. It will be led by the department's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU). The announcement comes as a result of Task Force Lima, a Department of Defense generative AI task force established in 2023 to "assess, synchronize, and employ generative AI capabilities" in the DoD. "DIU's role is bringing the very best commercial tech to bear to meet critical warfighter problems with the focus, speed, and scale required to meet the strategic imperative," said DIU Director Doug Beck. "The result will help us scale the tech faster and more reliably, and will also help change the way the Department thinks about software development and delivery tempo for the future." The department's AI applications will include "decision support, operational planning, logistics, weapons development and testing, uncrewed and autonomous systems, intelligence activities, information operations, and cyber operations," as well as administrative purposes. Under the Biden Administration, the U.S. endorsed the international Political Declaration on Responsible Military Use of Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy, a best practices initiative to explore the development of AI's military capabilities — despite already using the technology in warfare applications. In a Nov. 2023 statement, the Department of Defense announced its intention to explore "the responsible military use of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems." AI watchdogs have warned of the accelerated use of AI in warfare and its global repercussions. One month prior, the White House announced an extensive regulatory executive order outlining risk and safety standards for AI, cybersecurity provisions, and various guidelines that spanned the Department of Commerce, Homeland Security, and Energy. The administration announced even more AI initiatives soon after , including the creation of a United States AI Safety Institute (US AISI). This was later followed by a warning to Big Tech to curb the spread of synthetic, AI-generated content. While it's uncertain whether President-elect Donald Trump will uphold the Biden administration's national and international AI commitments, the soon-to-be sworn in leader has already announced his pick for a position he's calling the "White House AI Czar." As for his picks for the country's defense leaders, Trump is rumored to be eyeing Palantir chief technology officer Shyam Shankir for a top spot in the Pentagon — Shankir is a proponent of the Department of Defense's rapid adoption of commercial tech, including AI. "The DoD has an imperative to responsibly pursue the adoption of generative AI models while identifying proper protective measures and mitigating national security risks that may result from issues such as poorly managed training data," said DoD Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer Dr. Radha Plumb. "We must also consider the extent to which our adversaries will employ this technology and seek to disrupt our own use of AI-based solutions."

NoneLOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James has been ruled out of the Los Angeles Lakers' game at Minnesota on Friday night due to soreness in his left foot. James will miss his second straight game when the Lakers return from a four-day break to face the Timberwolves, the Lakers announced Thursday. The top scorer in NBA history was away from the team this week with an excused absence attributed to “personal reasons,” coach JJ Redick said Wednesday. It's unclear whether James will even make the quick round trip to Minnesota before the Lakers' next game at home against Memphis on Sunday. James missed his first game of his record-tying 22nd NBA season when the Lakers beat Portland at home last Sunday. That absence also was attributed to his foot injury. James is averaging 23.0 points, 9.1 assists and 8.0 rebounds for the Lakers (13-11), who have lost seven of 10 after a 10-4 start. The Lakers upgraded starter Austin Reaves to questionable for the game at Minnesota after he missed LA's previous five games with a pelvic bruise. Anthony Davis is listed as probable with left plantar fasciitis.

Police say residents should be vigilant when approached by a person asking for assistance in paying for a taxi fare by debit or credit card. The victim is told the driver will not accept cash and is offered change in exchange for paying for the ride with their card. A notice from police warning of the scam was first made in August after a similar issue was reported in Kington, Ont. Police say that in at least one case, the vehicle bore a roof sign and taxi plate stolen from a legitimate taxi company licenced to operate only in Toronto. Ottawa police and bylaw are reminding the public that all licenced taxis in the city will have a City of Ottawa logo located on the right side of the rear bumper. The plate is either blue with white lettering or white with green letters. In addition, a roof sign will indicate the taxi company and plate number. There will be an identification number on both sides of the vehicle and a taximeter with a City of Ottawa seal. Taxi drivers must also have a driver identification card with their photo and driver number. There are only four licenced taxi companies licenced to operate in Ottawa. They are Blue Line Taxi Co. Ltd., Capital Taxi, West-Way Taxi and Executive Cabs. Police are providing the following safety tips: Reports of fraud can be made by calling the Police Reporting Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 7300 or by filing a report online.

(NASDAQ: LNZA) (“LanzaTech” or the “Company”), the carbon recycling company transforming above-ground carbon into sustainable fuels, chemicals, materials, and protein, today announced the appointment of Thierry Pilenko, former Executive Chairman of TechnipFMC plc (“TechnipFMC”), to its Board of Directors.

Pilenko’s extensive experience and industry acumen are expected to provide valuable guidance as LanzaTech advances the commercial deployment of its technology and accelerates its timeline to profitability. “We are thrilled to welcome Thierry to our Board of Directors,” said LanzaTech Chair and CEO Dr. Jennifer Holmgren. “His proven track record of deploying innovative technologies and driving large-scale infrastructure projects will bring key insights as we execute LanzaTech’s ambitious growth strategy. Thierry spent the first 20 years of his career with Schlumberger Limited, deploying technologies on five continents. He then continued on to become a seasoned public company executive who successfully led TechnipFMC, Technip, and Veritas DGC. Throughout his exceptional career, Thierry developed a deep understanding of the global industrial landscape and the evolving competitive dynamics of the energy industry and the energy transition. Thierry’s operational leadership in global, complex and capital-intensive industries is central to advancing our mission to provide resilient, reliable technology that advances above-ground carbon recycling and produces commercial-scale ethanol that can be used in a wide range of applications, including sustainable aviation fuel.” During his tenure as Executive Chairman of TechnipFMC, and Chairman and CEO of Technip, Thierry led a large global team delivering energy solutions across 45 countries and was pivotal in overseeing Technip’s transformation and merger with FMC Technologies. This merger demonstrated the power of integration to significantly reduce costs and improve economics of large-scale projects while reducing corporate overhead costs. Under Pilenko’s leadership, Technip successfully executed landmark projects such as Shell’s $12 billion Prelude floating LNG facility and the $20+ billion Yamal LNG project. “It is an honor to join LanzaTech’s Board of Directors and contribute to the company’s pioneering and commercially proven carbon management solution,” said Pilenko. “Having spent my career in the energy sector, I understand the critical importance of deploying replicable technology solutions and know first-hand what it takes to successfully put steel in the ground and achieve desired returns. LanzaTech’s innovative approach to carbon reuse offers a unique and proven solution that will have a substantial impact on the energy transition. I am deeply committed to advancing these technologies and ensuring their widespread adoption for a more sustainable future.” In addition to joining LanzaTech’s Board, Pilenko currently serves on the boards of Arkema, a leading specialty materials company, and Trident Energy, an oil and gas production company. He is also the Board Chair of Rely, a green hydrogen-focused joint venture, and a co-founder of P6 Technologies, a SaaS platform for carbon lifecycle analysis.
