Earlier in the season, the Carolina Panthers benched second-year quarterback Bryce Young for poor play. At the time, it looked like Young, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, was a bust. However, the way the Heisman Trophy winner has played since being reinserted into the starting lineup is a reminder not to judge a player too quickly. Young's performance against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday was his best of the year, if not his entire career, to date. Young completed 21-of-35 passes for 263 yards and a touchdown, consistently making good reads and accurate throws while helping Carolina give the defending champs all they could handle in a 30-27 loss. Young even led the Panthers downfield for the tying touchdown with less than two minutes remaining before Patrick Mahomes turned around and drove KC to the game-winning field goal. Social media, both fans and reporters, turned out to praise Young for his effort. "Bryce Young’s numbers today aren’t going to blow anyone away, but his performance against a very good Chiefs defense does speak to the argument for letting young players develop and grow before making an ultimate judgement on them," said former Houston Texans star JJ Watt. Eakin Howard/Getty Images "I’m happy for Bryce Young. He did some good stuff in this Chiefs game," added The Ringer's Bill Simmons. "The Panthers have their QB and it’s Bryce Young. He’s it," chimed in USA TODAY's Mike Freeman. "Bryce Young redemption story man we are here," a fan added. "I never left the train will always be a Bryce young supporter," another fan said. At 3-8, the Panthers are not going to make the playoffs, but if they can feel confident about Young after the final six weeks, that's an important step for the franchise toward 2025 and beyond. Young will look to continue his quality play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week.

The former Geordie Shore star, who is nearly eight months pregnant, thanked a security company “for all the hard work this week” after adding the protections to her home. “Trebling our security measures, worth every penny to feel safe again in my own home,” the 34-year-old said in a post to her Instagram story. Charlotte Crosby said she has tripled security measures at her home (Ian West/PA) It comes after her fiance, Jake Ankers, said on social media that a group of men carrying a machete entered their home on Thursday evening while they were in the house with their two-year-old daughter. The businessman said one of the four men “had a red balaclava on” and was carrying the weapon at the top of the stairs. Durham Constabulary were alerted at 7pm on Thursday to reports of an aggravated burglary in Houghton-le-Spring, a town in the Sunderland area. A spokeswoman for the force said: “Officers attended the area, however the suspects left the scene before their arrival. “Nobody was injured in the incident and no items are believed to have been taken.” She added that an investigation is under way and anyone with information is asked to contact police. After the incident, Crosby was admitted to hospital after experiencing “serious pains” in her stomach, but confirmed her baby is “all fine”. Ankers appeared with the reality star on BBC Three reality show Charlotte In Sunderland. Crosby is best known for appearing in the MTV reality series Geordie Shore and winning the 12th series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2013. She and Ankers got engaged in October 2023 after she gave birth to their first child in 2022.

Luxon on govt's first year in chargeThe former Schenectady lawmaker, who bought a home in Rotterdam at the tail end of his City Council tenure last year, is now enrolled with the Conservative Party, according to voter registration records. Polimeni, 51, maintains that the change has nothing to do with a personal shift in ideology or issues with the progressive movement in the Democratic Party. “I've got friends in all of the parties,” Polimeni said. “Out here [in Rotterdam], I have a lot of friends with the Schenectady County Conservative Party and, like I said before, they've always been very good to me and I’m very happy to be part of the party.” Polimeni has previously been on the Conservative line in both his 2015 and 2019 council bids. Under New York law, candidates are allowed to run under multiple ballot lines regardless of party registration. Comparative to deep blue Schenectady, the Conservative line is far more influential in Rotterdam elections for both Republicans and Democrats. Polimeni was criticized by the Schenectady council’s four-member progressive wing for purchasing a $370,000 home on Gates Avenue in the town of Rotterdam while serving in city office. He defended the move as legal due to his primary residence being in the Electric City and branded accusations to the contrary as political flapdoodle. Ultimately dismissed was an ethics investigation mounted against him. Such tensions between the council was par for the course during Polimeni's last term in office. Bad blood over issues ranging from COVID-19 federal relief spending to police budgeting sometimes boiled over into tense showdowns on the City Hall chamber floor. At one point, the Schenectady City Republican Committee welcomed Polimeni to join ranks. He declined, noting that he was not going to be persuaded easily due to his lifelong registration with the Democratic Party. That affiliation ended at some point in recent months. Polimeni doesn’t remember what month in particular he re-registered as a Conservative. The novel Rotterdamian met up with James Barrett, chairman of the Schenectady County Conservative Committee and vice chairman of the New York State Conservative Committee, in hopes of getting the party leader’s “blessing” before entering the party. Barrett was ecstatic about Polimeni’s switch. “It's kind of like a marriage, right?” Polimeni said. “Ask your future wife's father for permission first.” Asked about the prospect of him running again for public office as a Conservative, Polimeni said that the only thing on his mind is getting settled into his Gates Drive home. He changed his primary residence within the latter half of this year. “That's taken quite a bit of doing and that's really been the focus,” Polimeni said. Barrett believes that party officers would be open to supporting “stand up guy” Polimeni’s candidacy should he ever choose to run for office again. “He certainly has enjoyed our support in the past and, should he choose to run for another office, I'm quite certain that the executive board would give him very strong consideration,” Barrett said. Seven local offices will be up for grabs in Rotterdam next year. Not immediately clear are the plans of Town Board members Republican Jack Dodson (R) and Conservative Joseph Mastrionni — neither of whom responded to a request for comment. Republican-endorsed Conservative Town Supervisor Mollie Collins has already opted not to run again after one term in office. Schenectady County Republican Committee Chairwoman Darlene Harris noted that the party is still in the process of looking to fill the void. “I don't think anything's really solidified as to who's the frontrunner on that, but again, over the next few months I think that somebody will come to the forefront and we'll have a better answer for that,” Harris said. Should Mastroianni run, his past run against Assemblymember Angelo Santabarbara would likely be used as political fodder. The GOP-endorsed Conservative was charged with petit larceny for allegedly stealing a Santabarbara flier from a Scotia residence in October. “No political organization that runs Joe Mastroianni has any credibility whatsoever,” said Schenectady County Democratic Committee Chairman Frank Salamone. On the subject of Polimeni changing parties, Salamone declined to comment.OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will not support a Liberal plan to give Canadians a GST holiday and $250 unless the government expands eligibility for the cheques, saying the rebate leaves out “the most vulnerable.” The Liberals announced a plan last week to cut the federal sales tax on a raft of items like toys and restaurant meals for two months, and to give $250 to more than 18.7 million Canadians in the spring. Speaking after a Canadian Labour Congress event in Ottawa, Singh says he’s open to passing the GST legislation, but the rebate needs to include seniors, students, people who are on disability benefits and those who were not able to work last year. Singh says he initially supported the idea because he thought the rebate cheques would go to anyone who earned under $150,000 last year. But the so-called working Canadians rebate will be sent to those who had an income, leaving out people Singh says need the help. The government intends to include the measures in the fall economic statement, which has not yet been introduced in the House of Commons. The proposed GST holiday would begin in mid-December, lasting for two months. It would remove the GST on prepared foods at grocery stores, some alcoholic drinks, children’s clothes and toys, Christmas trees, restaurant meals, books, video games and physical newspapers. A privilege debate has held up all government business in the House since late September, with the Conservatives pledging to continue a filibuster until the government hands over unredacted documents related to misspending at a green technology fund. The NDP said last week they had agreed to pause the privilege debate in order to pass the legislation to usher in the GST holiday. Singh said Tuesday that unless there are changes to the proposed legislation, he will not support pausing the debate. The Bloc Québécois is also pushing for the rebates to be sent to seniors and retirees.AP News Summary at 6:20 p.m. EST

EMPOLI, Italy (AP) — Scotland international Che Adams scored from almost the halfway line as Torino ended a run of poor form to win at Empoli 1-0 in Serie A on Friday. Adams replaced Antonio Sanabria in the 64th minute and made his mark almost immediately. With 70 gone, he spotted the Empoli goalkeeper off his line and lobbed the ball over his head from inside the center circle. The goal ended his personal eight-game drought in spectacular fashion, and will ease pressure on coach Paolo Vanoli. The Turin club was unbeaten in its first five league games and topped the table for a time. But it has won only one of 10 games since, back in late October. Friday’s win lifted Torino into 12th place, two places and three points behind Empoli. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerNoneThe owners of Happy Tails, a doggy daycare in Tribeca, are barking up the right tree by officially opening their first brick-and-mortar location at 120 Duane St. after garnering great success with their mobile dog daycare service. Get the Full Story As the first-of-its-kind member-only dog club in the heart of Manhattan, the new venture aims to elevate the experience for pets and their owners, offering an exciting range of amenities designed to pamper and engage furry companions. “We wanted to create a playground for dogs and a destination for pet owners,” Irving Fallas, co-founder of Happy Tails, told amNewYork Metro during an onsite tour. “This facility is more than just a daycare; it’s a vibrant space where dogs can socialize and play in a safe and stimulating environment.” Happy Tails stands out from typical dog daycares due to its innovative design and commitment to personalized care. The facility is divided into four sections to cater to different canine temperaments, addressing safety concerns often found in larger, unsegregated spaces. As part of their meticulous approach, trainers assess all dogs before integrating into playgroups. “You’ll see the difference when you’re here,” Fallas said. “It’s intentional. We don’t just sign off on pets; we make sure every dog passes an assessment to make sure they can fit in with the group,” Fallas said, noting the staff is made up of trained professionals who understand dog behavior. The range of amenities at Happy Tails is nothing short of “paw-fect.” Dogs can enjoy a theme park-style obstacle course, relax on comfy dog couches and even indulge in gourmet treats from the dog café, which features items like dog-friendly macarons and creatively named dog wines such as “Zinfantail.” Membership at Happy Tails also grants access to certified dog trainers and pet therapists, ensuring that pets not only play but also receive proper training and care. “It’s about creating an engaging, enjoyable day for them, and for our clients, it means peace of mind knowing that trained staff are in charge,” Fallas said. Happy Tails is already receiving glowing feedback from its community, with owners celebrating their pets’ enthusiasm for the new space. One memorable moment involved a dog so reluctant to leave that staff had to gently drag her away after a day of fun. “That was a huge moment for us,” Fallas said. “To see that our clients’ dogs are truly enjoying their time here is why we started this.” The excitement doesn’t stop there; Happy Tails plans to host a series of events for pets and their owners, including community holiday gatherings and singles mixers. Looking to the future, Fallas and co-founder Teddy Tawil have ambitious plans for expansion throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, providing more spaces for dogs to thrive.

Arsenal, Man City and Bayern advance to Women's Champions League quarterfinals

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is in the NFL’s concussion protocol. His status for Sunday is uncertainThe Los Angeles Lakers will again be without LeBron James on Friday, as the 39-year-old continues to rest his sore left foot , but the team will likely have some more firepower in the lineup. Austin Reaves , who has missed the Lakers' last five games due to a left pelvic contusion after a nasty fall against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Nov. 29, has been upgraded to probable for their matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves . Reaves, 26, played all 82 games last season and had appeared in 129 consecutive regular-season games before this injury. "I was pissed, to be honest," Reaves told reporters on Friday, via the Orange County Register's Khobi Price . "I kind of wanted to keep that streak going. Just want to be available to get on the court every single night with the guys and go and compete. But you find the positives in everything and one of those was to ... take a week to not just recover the current injury, but just to feel better all in all. That's what we did and I'm feeling good. The Lakers are 13-11 and eighth in the Western Conference. After a 10-4 start, they lost seven of nine games before a 107-98 win against the Portland Trail Blazers last weekend. Their defense ranks No. 26 in the league, and, according to Cleaning The Glass, their transition defense ranks dead last. Through 24 games, they have been a poor rebounding team on both ends, and they have not been able to increase their 3-point volume the way coach JJ Redick wanted to entering the season. Reaves' (probable) return will obviously not fix all of that, but he will at least give Los Angeles another capable playmaker. Minnesota's defense has been excellent lately, including in a 109-80 win over the Lakers on Dec. 2. In 19 games in 2024-25, Reaves has averaged 16.7 points on 57.3% true shooting, 3.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 33.7 minutes per game. So far, this is the least efficient of his four seasons in the NBA, but he has a career-high 21.3% usage rate and has increased his per-possession 3-point volume considerably.

Socialist dictator of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro on Sunday accused “artificial intelligence” of plotting to oust his regime with the ultimate goal of “taking colonial control of humanity.” Maduro made his wild accusations during his participation at the “World Congress of Anti-Fascist Youth and Students,” an anti-U.S., anti-Israel, and anti-capitalism weekend gathering of international far-left students hosted by the Venezuelan socialist regime in Caracas. Individuals from about 70 countries participated according to the Maduro regime. The far-left event’s participants reportedly announced that they were “carrying out a great struggle against imperialism and fascism in Venezuela,” a country they claimed is “at peace and is working fully for a horizon of prosperity and happiness.” Maduro, during one of the weekend event’s conferences, claimed to his listeners that the Western world has “perfected” artificial intelligence to wage a “cyber-fascist coup” against humanity. “Through two technological tools that the West has perfected. One, first-generation artificial intelligence. They are already talking about going towards artificial superintelligence. And artificial intelligence has been fed for years with the data of every country, of every culture, of every society,” Maduro said. “And today artificial intelligence is leading the cognitive warfare, the cognitive massacre, the military warfare, the economic warfare.” “I’m not exaggerating, guys. It is exactly like that. Through artificial intelligence technological imperialism is trying to impose a cyber-fascist coup on humanity to take colonial control of humanity,” he continued. “I’m not putting one word too many. Maybe I’m putting too little for the sake of synthesis in my intervention.” At another point during the weekend event, Maduro said that he would host a “great world anti-fascist festival” between January 8-10, where he will invite “thousands and thousands of leaders” to join him on January 10, the date he is slated to be sworn into an additional six-year term that he secured through the July 28 sham presidential election. The dictator also expressed his intention to create an “anti-fascist training school” in Caracas, which would integrate “all the training methods” from the regimes of countries such as China, Russia, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Bolivia. The socialist dictator, an aspiring TikTok “ influencer ,” claimed that social media is the “instrument ... they use to implement their actions.” Maduro himself has been an avid user of artificial intelligence tools. Both the dictator and his socialist regime’s media apparatus made public use of them in 2023. Last year, Maduro introduced “ Sira ,” an artificial intelligence companion, in the debut of his ongoing weekly television show With Maduro Plus . The dictator’s show used the artificial assistant – which bore the likeness of a young, curly-haired woman with brown skin – in a segment of the multi-hour show that presented pro-regime news. Weeks before the launch of Maduro’s show, several reports indicated that the Venezuelan socialists were utilizing artificial intelligence to generate “deepfake” news reports in English to push false pro-regime propaganda on social media. According to the reports, the videos were created using Synthesia, a London-based artificial intelligence company. Venezuelan non-government organizations denounced at the time that the contents of the AI-generated false news reports, which reportedly began surfacing around February 2023, were then presented by Venezuelan state-media anchors in public television as if they came from a real outlet to promote a purported “positive” international image of the socialist regime. One of the “deepfake” news anchors featured in the pro-Maduro regime false news bore the likeness of British actor Dan Dewhirst. Dewhirst told the tech outlet DigitalTrends in October that he “couldn’t believe” that his likeness was used in such a way. “My stomach dropped. Everything I was worried about has happened, but a thousand times worse. I’m literally the face of fake news,” he said. The British actor told the outlet that he signed a contract with Synthesia in 2021 for the use of his likeness, but became suspicious of the broad clauses in the contract, so he contacted his agent and Equity. Dewhirst said he and his lawyers unsuccessfully tried to have the terms of the contract changed. According to his statements, the company showed him the stipulations that the likeness could not be used for “illegal or unsavory purposes.” Christian K.
