Bronx native Johnuel “Boogie” Fland, who plays basketball for the University of Arkansas as one of the top freshman standouts, is headed to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday for a tournament game he called “must-see TV.” “It’s gonna be electric,” said Fland in an interview with the Bronx Times. The Jimmy V Classic — a doubleheader tournament named for legendary coach Jim Valvano, who died of cancer in 1993 at age 47 — will be played at MSG as part of Jimmy V Week, which raises money for cancer research. Miami and Tennessee play at 6:30 p.m. with Arkansas taking on Michigan afterwards at 9 p.m. The games will air on ESPN. Arkansas has a 7-2 record as of Dec. 7 and is 14th in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Michigan Wolverines are 7-1, ranked seventh in the Big Ten. Photo courtesy Steinlight Media LLC The Jimmy V Classic may be a rare chance for New Yorkers to see Fland play before he is drafted into the NBA — which is all but certain to happen next year. In his young college career, he has already turned plenty of heads. He came to Arkansas as a top-rated point guard out of Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains, and his debut game against basketball powerhouse Kansas was “nothing short of spectacular,” according to Sports Illustrated . Fland also garnered recent attention for his clutch performance in the Dec. 3 game against Miami, where he scored 18 points, including a go-ahead three-point shot in the comeback win. Not bad for a kid from the Bronx, who grew up on East 170th Street and Grand Concourse playing AAU ball. Fland’s friends and family are still in the Bronx, and he makes it back to the borough pretty often, he said. Coming out of high school, Fland originally committed to the University of Kentucky, but when Naismith Hall of Fame coach John Calipari resigned to coach for Arkansas instead, Fland followed. Fland said he has a great relationship with Calipari. “He cares,” he said. “[Calipari] said nothing was gonna be handed, I have to go take it. And that’s kind of how the world works.” Moving to Fayetteville, Arkansas, was a pretty big adjustment for a Bronx guy, but Fland called it “an adjustment for the greater,” as the quieter life has helped him focus more on basketball. “I’m actually liking it over here, I love it. The fans are great, the people are great.” As a freshman, he is taking general classes and also thinking about restarting a clothing line he used to have, which he said expresses “the swagger that comes from being in New York and the Bronx.” Fland said he juggles all his responsibilities by “staying focused on the main thing.” “I’ve been doing hoops and school for a long time, so I know how to balance the two,” he said. As for his NBA dreams, Fland said he has no ideal place to land — and wouldn’t even specify the New York Knicks. “Whichever [team] is best for me,” he’ll be happy with, he said. “I’m just happy I got myself into this position, to have a chance to even do that.” Of playing with the Knicks someday, “If it happens, it happens,” Fland said with a laugh. He wants to have a long career, be a positive influence on young people and meet more people in the basketball world. “Not a lot of people in New York have opportunities like these.” His advice to young players growing up in the Bronx? “Just keep working, you know. These opportunities are created by the ones before you. ... You got people rooting for you, and stay true to yourself.” Between the opportunity to play at Madison Square Garden and his NBA dreams likely soon to come true, Fland said he’s grateful to have come this far. “These are the greatest times of my life right now.” Reach Emily Swanson at eswanson@schnepsmedia.com or (646) 717-0015.

AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-footballIn the wee hours Sunday at the United Nations climate talks, countries from around the world reached an agreement on how rich countries can cough up the funds to support poor countries in the face of climate change. It's a far-from-perfect arrangement, with many parties still deeply unsatisfied but some hopeful that the deal will be a step in the right direction. World Resources Institute president and CEO Ani Dasgupta called it "an important down payment toward a safer, more equitable future," but added that the poorest and most vulnerable nations are "rightfully disappointed that wealthier countries didn't put more money on the table when billions of people's lives are at stake." The summit was supposed to end on Friday evening but negotiations spiraled on through early Sunday. With countries on opposite ends of a massive chasm, tensions ran high as delegations tried to close the gap in expectations. What was the finance deal agreed at climate talks? Rich countries have agreed to pool together at least $300 billion a year by 2035. It's not near the full amount of $1.3 trillion that developing countries were asking for, and that experts said was needed. But delegations more optimistic about the agreement said this deal is headed in the right direction, with hopes that more money flows in the future. The text included a call for all parties to work together using "all public and private sources" to get closer to the $1.3 trillion per year goal by 2035. That means also pushing for international mega-banks, funded by taxpayer dollars, to help foot the bill. And it means, hopefully, that companies and private investors will follow suit on channeling cash toward climate action. The agreement is also a critical step toward helping countries on the receiving end create more ambitious targets to limit or cut emissions of heat-trapping gases that are due early next year. It's part of the plan to keep cutting pollution with new targets every five years, which the world agreed to at the U.N. talks in Paris in 2015. The Paris agreement set the system of regular ratcheting up climate fighting ambition as away to keep warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels. The world is already at 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.3 degrees Fahrenheit) and carbon emissions keep rising. What will the money be spent on? The deal decided in Baku replaces a previous agreement from 15 years ago that charged rich nations $100 billion a year to help the developing world with climate finance. The new number has similar aims: it will go toward the developing world's long laundry list of to-dos to prepare for a warming world and keep it from getting hotter. That includes paying for the transition to clean energy and away from fossil fuels. Countries need funds to build up the infrastructure needed to deploy technologies like wind and solar power on a large scale. Communities hard-hit by extreme weather also want money to adapt and prepare for events like floods, typhoons and fires. Funds could go toward improving farming practices to make them more resilient to weather extremes, to building houses differently with storms in mind, to helping people move from the hardest-hit areas and to help leaders improve emergency plans and aid in the wake of disasters. The Philippines, for example, has been hammered by six major storms in less than a month, bringing to millions of people howling wind, massive storm surges and catastrophic damage to residences, infrastructure and farmland. "Family farmers need to be financed," said Esther Penunia of the Asian Farmers Association. She described how many have already had to deal with millions of dollars of storm damage, some of which includes trees that won't again bear fruit for months or years, or animals that die, wiping out a main source of income. "If you think of a rice farmer who depends on his or her one hectare farm, rice land, ducks, chickens, vegetables, and it was inundated, there was nothing to harvest," she said. Why was it so hard to get a deal? Election results around the world that herald a change in climate leadership, a few key players with motive to stall the talks and a disorganized host country all led to a final crunch that left few happy with a flawed compromise. The ending of COP29 is "reflective of the harder geopolitical terrain the world finds itself in," said Li Shuo of the Asia Society. He cited Trump's recent victory in the US — with his promises to pull the country out of the Paris Agreement — as one reason why the relationship between China and the EU will be more consequential for global climate politics moving forward. Developing nations also faced some difficulties agreeing in the final hours, with one Latin American delegation member saying that their group didn't feel properly consulted when small island states had last-minute meetings to try to break through to a deal. Negotiators from across the developing world took different tacks on the deal until they finally agreed to compromise. Meanwhile, activists ramped up the pressure: many urged negotiators to stay strong and asserted that no deal would be better than a bad deal. But ultimately the desire for a deal won out. Some also pointed to the host country as a reason for the struggle. Mohamed Adow, director of climate and energy think tank Power Shift Africa, said Friday that "this COP presidency is one of the worst in recent memory," calling it "one of the most poorly led and chaotic COP meetings ever." The presidency said in a statement, "Every hour of the day, we have pulled people together. Every inch of the way, we have pushed for the highest common denominator. We have faced geopolitical headwinds and made every effort to be an honest broker for all sides." Shuo retains hope that the opportunities offered by a green economy "make inaction self-defeating" for countries around the world, regardless of their stance on the decision. But it remains to be seen whether the UN talks can deliver more ambition next year. In the meantime, "this COP process needs to recover from Baku," Shuo said.Verstappen captures 4th F1 championship after Mercedes sweep of Las Vegas Grand Prix LAS VEGAS (AP) — Max Verstappen cruised to a fourth consecutive Formula 1 championship Saturday night by finishing fifth in the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Verstappen needed only to finish ahead of Lando Norris of McLaren to give Red Bull a fourth straight driver championship. The Dutchman started fifth but was already up to second by the 10th lap around the street circuit that includes the famed Las Vegas Strip. Norris, who had to score at least three points more than Verstappen to extend the championship fight, finished sixth. The race was won by George Russell who was followed by Lewis Hamilton in the first 1-2 sweep for the Mercedes drivers since 2022.

Sure, people made fun of Jimmy Carter. I was lucky to have Jimmy Carter make fun of meWith nearly all of the votes counted, left-leaning Mr Milanovic won 49% while his main challenger Dragan Primorac, a candidate of the ruling conservative HDZ party, trailed far behind with 19%. Pre-election polls had predicted that the two would face off in the second round on January 12, as none of the eight presidential election contenders were projected to get more than 50% of the vote. Mr Milanovic thanked his supporters but warned that “this was just a first run”. “Let’s not be triumphant, let’s be realistic, firmly on the ground,” he said. “We must fight all over again. It’s not over till it’s over.” Mr Milanovic, the most popular politician in Croatia, has served as prime minister in the past. Populist in style, the 58-year-old has been a fierce critic of current Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic and continuous sparring between the two has been a recent hallmark of Croatia’s political scene. Mr Plenkovic has sought to portray the vote as one about Croatia’s future in the EU and Nato. He has labelled Mr Milanovic “pro-Russian” and a threat to Croatia’s international standing. “The difference between him (Mr Primorac) and Milanovic is quite simple: Milanovic is leading us East, Primorac is leading us West,” he said. Though the presidency is largely ceremonial in Croatia, an elected president holds political authority and acts as the supreme commander of the military. Mr Milanovic has criticised the Nato and European Union support for Ukraine and has often insisted that Croatia should not take sides. He has said Croatia should stay away from global disputes, thought it is a member of both Nato and the EU. Mr Milanovic has also blocked Croatia’s participation in a Nato-led training mission for Ukraine, declaring that “no Croatian soldier will take part in somebody else’s war”. His main rival in the election, Mr Primorac, has stated that “Croatia’s place is in the West, not the East”. However, his bid for the presidency has been marred by a high-level corruption case that landed Croatia’s health minister in jail last month and which featured prominently in pre-election debates. Trailing a distant third in the pre-election polls is Marija Selak Raspudic, a conservative independent candidate. She has focused her election campaign on the economic troubles of ordinary citizens, corruption and issues such as population decline in the country of some 3.8 million. Sunday’s presidential election is Croatia’s third vote this year, following a snap parliamentary election in April and the European Parliament balloting in June.Gaetz, Hegseth, Gabbard, Then RFK Jr: Megyn Kelly Warns 'Deep State Is Coming For Them All'
Mantis Robotics Raises $5 Million To Develop 'Human-Centric Robots'South Korean Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun voluntarily appeared at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office for questioning at around 1:30am local time on Dec 8. SEOUL - South Korean prosecutors on Dec 8 arrested former Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun over his alleged role in President Yoon Suk Yeol’s declaration of martial law on Dec 3, Yonhap News Agency said. The prosecutors’ office was not immediately available for comments. Mr Kim voluntarily appeared at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office for questioning at around 1:30am local time (12.30am Singapore time), the report said. The office was not immediately available for comments. Mr Kim, who offered his resignation on Dec 4, was seen as a central figure in the brief martial law declaration. A senior military official and filings to impeach Mr Yoon by opposition members said Mr Kim had made the proposal to Mr Yoon. Mr Yoon survived an impeachment vote - which was prompted by his short-lived attempt to impose martial law - in parliament on Dec 7, but the leader of his own party said the president would eventually have to step down. Three minority opposition parties filed a complaint with the prosecution against Mr Yoon, Mr Kim and martial law commander Park An-su, accusing them of treason. Mr Kim faces a travel ban as prosecutors investigate the matter, Yonhap said. The national police are also investigating claims of treason against Mr Yoon and top ministers. Mr Yoon shocked the nation late on Dec 3 when he gave the military sweeping emergency powers to root out what he called “anti-state forces” and obstructionist political opponents. He rescinded the order six hours later, after parliament defied military and police cordons to vote unanimously against the decree. The martial law declaration plunged South Korea, Asia’s fourth-largest economy and a key US military ally, into its greatest political crisis in decades, threatening to shatter the country’s reputation as a democratic success story.

Second Cup dumps Jewish General Hospital franchisee over video with ‘hateful remarks’Former President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100. The 39th president of the United States was a Georgia peanut farmer who sought to restore trust in government when he assumed the presidency in 1977 and then built a reputation for tireless work as a humanitarian. He earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in Plains, Georgia. At age 52, Carter was sworn in as president on Jan. 20, 1977, after defeating President Gerald R. Ford in the 1976 general election. Carter left office on Jan. 20, 1981, following his 1980 general election loss to Ronald Reagan. Here's the latest: The longest-lived American president died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care , at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at 96 in November 2023 , spent most of their lives. “Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia,” The Carter Center said in posting about his death on the social media platform X. It added in a statement that he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. In his 1975 book “Why Not The Best,” Carter said of himself: “I am a Southerner and an American, I am a farmer, an engineer, a father and husband, a Christian, a politician and former governor, a planner, a businessman, a nuclear physicist, a naval officer, a canoeist, and among other things a lover of Bob Dylan’s songs and Dylan Thomas’s poetry.” A moderate Democrat, Carter entered the 1976 presidential race as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad smile, outspoken Baptist mores and technocratic plans reflecting his education as an engineer. After he left office and returned home to his tiny hometown of Plains in southwest Georgia, Carter regularly taught Sunday School lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church until his mobility declined. Those sessions drew visitors from around the world. Former Vice President Al Gore praised Jimmy Carter for living “a life full of purpose, commitment and kindness” and for being a “lifelong role model for the entire environmental movement.” Carter, who left the White House in 1981 after a landslide defeat to Ronald Reagan. concentrated on conflict resolution, defending democracy and fighting disease in the developing world. Gore, who lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, remains a leading advocate for action to fight climate change. Both won Nobel Peace Prizes. Gore said that “it is a testament to his unyielding determination to help build a more just and peaceful world” that Carter is often “remembered equally for the work he did as President as he is for his leadership over the 42 years after he left office.” During Gore’s time in the White House, President Bill Clinton had an uneasy relationship with Carter. But Gore said he is “grateful” for “many years of friendship and collaboration” with Carter.
