By MARC LEVY HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania conceded his reelection bid to Republican David McCormick on Thursday, as a statewide recount showed no signs of closing the gap and his campaign suffered repeated blows in court in its effort to get potentially favorable ballots counted. Casey’s concession comes more than two weeks after Election Day, as a grindingly slow ballot-counting process became a spectacle of hours-long election board meetings, social media outrage, lawsuits and accusations that some county officials were openly flouting the law. Republicans had been claiming that Democrats were trying to steal McCormick’s seat by counting “illegal votes.” Casey’s campaign had accused of Republicans of trying to block enough votes to prevent him from pulling ahead and winning. In a statement, Casey said he had just called McCormick to congratulate him. “As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard, whether their vote was the first to be counted or the last,” Casey said. The Associated Press called the race for McCormick on Nov. 7, concluding that not enough ballots remained to be counted in areas Casey was winning for him to take the lead. As of Thursday, McCormick led by about 16,000 votes out of almost 7 million ballots counted. That was well within the 0.5% margin threshold to trigger an automatic statewide recount under Pennsylvania law. But no election official expected a recount to change more than a couple hundred votes or so, and Pennsylvania’s highest court dealt him a blow when it refused entreaties to allow counties to count mail-in ballots that lacked a correct handwritten date on the return envelope. Republicans will have a 53-47 majority next year in the U.S. Senate.

The controversial bill, introduced to parliament on Thursday by Australia’s centre-left government, seeks to enforce strict age-verification measures to uphold the age cut-off. It also proposes fines of up to A$49.5 million ($32 million) for social media companies found in systemic violation of the law. Elon Musk, who claims to be the champion of free speech, while responding to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's post said, “Seems like a backdoor way to control access to the Internet by all Australians.” Here's Albanese's post: TODAY: We're introducing our bill to make 16 years the minimum age for social media. — Anthony Albanese (@AlboMP) November 20, 2024 ALSO READ | Redmi A4 5G Challengers: Samsung Galaxy A14, Lava Blaze Pro, More Australia Leading The Front The proposed law represents one of the most stringent regulations on social media usage implemented by any country to date. If passed, it would make Australia a pioneer in attempting to tackle the challenges of youth exposure to social media platforms. However, the bill has sparked debates about the practicality of enforcing age verification, the implications for privacy, and the potential impact on tech companies operating within the country. Several nations have pledged to restrict children's access to social media through new laws, but Australia’s proposed policy stands out for its strictness. Unlike other countries, it offers no exceptions for parental consent or pre-existing accounts. For example, France proposed a social media ban for users under 15 last year but included provisions for parental approval. In the US, longstanding regulations require tech companies to obtain parental consent before collecting data from children under 13. Elon Musk has previously clashed with Australia’s centre-left Labor government over its social media policies. He labelled them "fascists" in response to their misinformation law. Earlier this year, X took legal action against an Australian cyber regulator, challenging an order to remove posts related to a bishop’s stabbing in Sydney. The incident led Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to refer to Musk as an “arrogant billionaire.”Forget driverless cars. One company wants autonomous helicopters to spray crops and fight fires

Picture by Karleen Minney After completing 20 weeks of intensive training, Eton, Fae, Gloria, and Flick were rewarded with their first harnesses. These four-legged graduates will soon be matched with their handlers, following in Sadie's footsteps to provide a life of independence to vision-impaired handlers across NSW and the ACT. Puppy trainer Carla Zakersewski outlined confidence, initiative, and obedience, as key traits for future guide dogs. "At the end of the day they are dogs, so trying to teach them not to pick up that hamburger off the ground or avoid those chips that have fallen on the footpath can be quite challenging, especially for a labrador - they love their food", said Ms Zakersewski. The graduating dogs. Picture by Karleen Minney Ms Zakersewski said that just like people, each pooch had a unique personality. "They're all so different - Flick's a bit of a firecracker and quite energetic, compared to Gloria who is cool, calm and collected, so complete opposites those two," she said. Guide Dog mobility instructor Claire Northtrop said the dogs' diverse personalities meant there was not a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, the pathway was catered to each labrador's individual qualities. "During the training process the dogs themselves choose the pathway that they will take. Not all dogs have the skills for guiding, so then it's determined that the dog may be more suited to a different career pathway," she said. Whether guiding their handlers through the bustling streets, or giving a comforting cuddle at home, these labradors sure do make a loyal and loving companion.

Now that he’s stepped back into the role of being a starter, Dalton Risner is working tirelessly to make sure he’s at his best for the Vikings. ADVERTISEMENT That could be easier said than done in the short term. After starting exclusively at left guard since entering the NFL, Risner got the start at right guard for the first time last weekend with the Vikings playing the Tennessee Titans. Though he said he was extremely grateful for the opportunity, Risner also admitted there’s a learning curve now playing a new position. Not that he’s complaining about his place on the offensive line. “It was awesome,” Risner said. “I’m really happy with how I played. A few things to clean up. I think I’ll only continue to get better.” ADVERTISEMENT After rewatching the game, head coach Kevin O’Connell praised Risner for the way he competed in the trenches. “He showed some of that veteran moxie to win some downs that were some hard downs,” O’Connell said. “There are some things he’ll continue to improve with the speed and physicality of it as he finds his groove.” The biggest hurdle for Risner is getting his mind to think in reverse. He has spent so much time at left guard throughout his career that switching over to right guard has forced him out of his comfort zone. “All of it is flip-flopped,” Risner said. “It’s not an easy process.” ADVERTISEMENT It was made even more difficult last weekend with Risner going up against the combination of star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and rookie defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat. “That’s about as good of a pair as we’re going to find in the NFL,” offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said. “We knew it was going to be a challenge up front with those guys. There are some things we could’ve done better from a technique perspective. We expect these guys to respond.” That includes Risner as the Vikings prepare for the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field. As he gains more experience at his new position, his hope is that it becomes second nature to him at some point soon. ADVERTISEMENT “I don’t know how many reps it’ll be or how many games it’ll be,” Risner said. I know I’ll consistently get more and more comfortable there.” The only player listed as a non-participant on the injury report was tight end Josh Oliver (wrist/ankle). He hasn’t practiced at all this week, so his availability for this weekend is very much up in the air. ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.
