'We can’t wait for perfection': Local advocates respond to AG’s criticism of province’s plan to fight homelessness and addictionEarly-season college basketball tournaments are usually rife with ranked upsets, and the 2024 editions have delivered. On Wednesday, the West Virginia Mountaineers defeated the No. 3 Gonzaga Bulldogs 86-78 in overtime at the Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas. It's a monumental win for the West Virginia program and the third time in the last 72 hours a top-three team has fallen. ( No. 2 UConn lost twice on Monday and Tuesday at the Maui Invitational.) West Virginia had lost its six previous overtime games, last earning a victory in the extra frame in 2019. It's also the program's first win over Gonzaga in six tries. WEST VIRGINIA STUNS NO. 3 GONZAGA IN BATTLE 4 ATLANTIS FEAST WEEK ALWAYS GIVES pic.twitter.com/O2XaS17hlC The Bulldogs entered halftime with an eight-point lead but the Mountaineers managed to force overtime and outscored Gonzaga 17-5 from then on. Senior Ryan Nembhard was held to just seven points for Gonzaga, he had been averaging 12.2 entering the contest. Instead, Braden Huff came off the bench and led the team with 19 points. West Virginia senior Javon Small led the game with 31 points and was clutch from the free-throw line late, hitting 9-of-11. The Mountaineers shot 41.3 percent from the field and hit 11 three-pointers, which aided in their late-game surge. Gonzaga (5-1) will play in the consolation bracket the remainder of the week, but its focus will be on two ranked matchups quickly approaching. No. 8 Kentucky (Dec. 7) and No. 2 UConn (Dec. 14) will offer stiff competition for the 2024 Elite Eight qualifiers. West Virginia (4-1) advances to the Battle 4 Atlantis semifinals and face Louisville (4-1) which took down No. 14 Indiana 89-61 earlier Wednesday.Nissan and Honda to attempt a merger that would create the world's No. 3 automaker TOKYO (AP) — Japanese automakers Nissan and Honda have announced plans to work toward a merger that would catapult them to a top position in an industry in the midst of tectonic shifts as it transitions away from its reliance on fossil fuels. The two companies said they signed an agreement on integrating their businesses on Monday. Smaller Nissan alliance member Mitsubishi Motors agreed to join the talks. News of a possible merger surfaced earlier this month. Japanese automakers face a strong challenge from their Chinese rivals and Tesla as they make inroads into markets at home and abroad. What a merger between Nissan and Honda means for the automakers and the industry BANGKOK (AP) — Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan will attempt to merge and create the world’s third-largest automaker by sales as the industry undergoes dramatic changes in its transition away from fossil fuels. The two companies said they had signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday and that smaller Nissan alliance member Mitsubishi Motors also had agreed to join the talks on integrating their businesses. Honda will initially lead the new management, retaining the principles and brands of each company. Following is a quick look at what a combined Honda and Nissan would mean for the companies, and for the auto industry. Nordstrom to be acquired by Nordstrom family and a Mexican retail group in $6.25 billion deal Century-old department store Nordstrom has agreed to be acquired and taken private by Nordstrom family members and a Mexican retail group in a $6.25 billion deal. Nordstrom shareholders will receive $24.25 in cash for each share of Nordstrom common stock, representing a 42% premium on the company’s stock as of March 18. Nordstrom’s board of directors unanimously approved the the proposed transaction, while Erik and Pete Nordstrom — part of the Nordstrom family taking over the company — recused themselves from voting. Following the close of the transaction, the Nordstrom Family will have a majority ownership stake in the company. An analyst looks ahead to how the US economy might fare under Trump WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump won a return to the White House in part by promising big changes in economic policy — more tax cuts, huge tariffs on imports, mass deportations of immigrants working in the United States illegally. In some ways, his victory marked a repudiation of President Joe Biden’s economic stewardship and a protest against inflation. It came despite low unemployment and steady growth under the Biden administration. What lies ahead for the economy under Trump? Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics spoke recently to The Associated Press. The interview has been edited for length and clarity. American consumers feeling less confident in December, Conference Board says American consumers are feeling less confident in December, a business research group says. The Conference Board said Monday that its consumer confidence index fell back in December to 104.7 from 112.8 in November. Consumers had been feeling increasingly confident in recent months. The consumer confidence index measures both Americans’ assessment of current economic conditions and their outlook for the next six months. The measure of Americans’ short-term expectations for income, business and the job market tumbled more than a dozen points to 81.1. The Conference Board says a reading under 80 can signal a potential recession in the near future.

The internet is rife with fake reviews. Will AI make it worse? Researchers and watchdog groups say the emergence of generative artificial intelligence tools that allow people to efficiently produce detailed and novel online reviews has put merchants, service providers and consumers in uncharted territory. Phony reviews have long plagued many popular consumer websites, such as Amazon and Yelp. But AI-infused text generation tools enable fraudsters to produce reviews faster and in greater volume, according to tech industry experts. The deceptive practice is illegal in the U.S. and becomes a bigger problem for consumers during the holiday shopping season, when many people rely on reviews to buy gifts. A tech company and watchdog group that uses software to detect fake reviews says AI-generated reviews have multiplied. Romanian lawmakers narrowly approve new pro-European coalition during period of political turmoil BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Romanian lawmakers have voted narrowly in favor of a new pro-European coalition government led by incumbent Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu. The move on Monday could usher in an end to a protracted political crisis in the European Union country following the annulment of a presidential election. Parliament approved the new administration in a 240-143 vote in the 466-seat legislature. The new coalition is made up of the leftist Social Democratic Party, the center-right National Liberal Party, the small ethnic Hungarian UDMR party and national minorities. President Klaus Iohannis swore in the new government on Monday night. Government regulators close investigation into Ford Focus recalls Government safety regulators are closing an investigation into two previous recalls of the Ford Focus after determining that Ford Motor Co. has satisfied its concerns. Ford recalled around 1.5 million Ford Focus sedans from the 2012-2018 model years in 2018 because they could lose power. The issue was a malfunctioning canister purge valve and software that didn’t adequately detect when it was stuck open. Ford fixed the software in two separate recalls, but after cars continued to stall, the government opened an inquiry last year. Earlier this fall, Ford offered to replace the canister purge valve on all of the vehicles, satisfying regulators' concerns. AI will eavesdrop on world's wildest places to track and help protect endangered wildlife PUERTO JIMÉNEZ, Costa Rica (AP) — A biologist hid 350 audio monitors across Costa Rica’s tropical rainforests to spy on endangered spider monkeys in order to help protect them. But she had to go back to collect the data and feed those sounds into artificial intelligence systems that can recognize monkey calls. Now tech giant Microsoft's philanthropic arm is hoping to supercharge AI-assisted wildlife research with new solar-powered devices that can capture sounds, images and other wilderness data for a year or more without human intervention. Researchers say more AI wildlife surveillance is urgently needed to monitor the health of species at risk of extinction.

Scoreboard: High school swimming (Dec. 23)

Harry Kane 's miserable trophy drought at Bayern Munich continued on Tuesday night as his team-mates were dumped out of the German Cup last-16 by rivals Bayer Leverkusen . Bayern finished the game with 10 men after Manuel Neuer was shown a red card for the first time in his career after he clattered Jeremie Frimpong. Former Burnley star Nathan Tella came back to haunt his old boss Vincent Kompany by netting the winner in the 69th minute. Kane was not present at the Allianz Arena as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury and could only watch on in frustration from the sidelines as Bayern were beaten by Leverkusen, the team that pipped them to the title last season in incredible fashion. Kane's failure to win a trophy last season prolonged his career-long silverware drought and meant that Bayern completed a season without winning a cup for the first time since 2012 and he will be devastated that another opportunity has gone begging. There is still a strong chance Bayern will win the Bundesliga after holding a four-point lead over Eintracht Frankfurt at the top of the table, though they had a much healthier advantage before being held to a 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. Bayern president Uli Hoeness is so confident the club will win the league he has promised the title to fans, so it would be a huge disappointment if the club were to falter next summer. "What I can promise is the championship title," Hoeness said. "We are currently in a fantastic position. We sit atop the league table, and our only real competitors, Bayer and Leipzig, are trailing significantly behind us." Bayern certainly missed the presence of Kane against Leverkusen after he limped out of their draw against Dortmund. The England captain has scored 20 goals in 19 games for the German giants this season, having scored 44 in 45 games in the last campaign. Kompany will be eager to have him back on the pitch as quickly as possible and this week revealed he was optimistic of a return before the end of the year. Bayern's winter break begins on December 22. "There's a chance he'll play again this year but he'll definitely miss a few games," he said. Kompany backed his squad to provide firepower in Kane's absence but admitted they could not replace his goals "one to one". "You cannot replace the goals or the player one-for-one - that's why he is a top player. We have talent in the team and need to solve it differently. We have many options. Obviously, Harry has scored 20 goals but we have other players who score goals." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Wheel of Fortune contestants regularly whiff their bonus puzzles, but the winner of Monday, December 2’s episode was in for a particularly heartbreaking spin. Her additional letter choices added ZERO letters to a tricky puzzle, which was even more shocking since she had the advantage of a Wild Card wedge. The tough break involved Kelsey Sowders, a mom of three and steak/wine savant from Tomball, Texas. After an astounding performance, she proceeded to the coveted bonus round, having racked up $40,398 in cash, a prize trip to Japan, and the elusive Wild Card. This meant she got to pick five additional letters instead of four, which often spells success. Selecting “What are You Doing?” as her category, with the off-side support of her eldest son Grant and husband, Sowders joined Ryan Seacrest center stage. She landed on the star portion of the wheel, and the host assured, “Perhaps it’s good luck.” “I hope so,” Sowders said. The two-word puzzle read as “_EE_N_’ ‘_ _ S_,’ and she chose an additional “MFDA,” and H.” However, Vanna White didn’t move an inch as the letter choices were useless, making the puzzle very difficult. “Oh no!” Sowders exclaimed in disappointment. She went through the five stages of grief, staring in disbelief, blowing a raspberry in frustration, and recollecting herself. Seacrest wished her the best, “You’re doing great so far tonight.” But the cruel twist of fate left Sowder unable to solve the puzzle under the 10-second timer, which ended up being “KEEPING BUSY.” She was close, even able to get the first word, but nowhere near the second. “Oh no!” Sowders exclaimed once more as the full puzzle was displayed. Then, cutting back to the contestant and Seacrest, the second dagger came. The host revealed from his prize card contained $75,000 and she hid her face from it. “I don’t want to see that,” she said as Seacrest winced at the camera. “Don’t worry,” the host told her as she emotionally recovered and told him, “That’s okay.” The game show shared the big miss on YouTube, where fans expressed their shock and empathized with the player’s reaction. “That was a tough one. I didn’t get it either. Props to her for getting the first word right, but that second word was tricky as hell. I’m glad she’s not walking away empty-handed, though. She still won up until that point and nobody can take that from her,” one fan wrote. “Impossible without the right letter choices. Been a few of those this season,” wrote another. “If she would have won, she would have won over $100,000 cash without actually landing on the envelope! That’s really disappointing. Also, the fact that she had 5 letters but didn’t get a single one?! Should I be disappointed or impressed?” asked a third. “Ouch!” wrote a fourth. “You don’t see $75,000 all that often!” Meanwhile , Seacrest had huge shoes to fill replacing the legendary Pat Sajak after four decades for Season 42. His debut month was the strongest ratings month for WoF in the past three years, and viewers were already treated to a viral moment (via a round of sausage) . That said, there have been some questionable host moments according to fans. In September, Seacrest suffered what fans dubbed his “first blooper” , involving a delayed reaction to rewarding a bonus round. Fans also called out the host for ruling against another player before the timer was up. Most controversially, fans recently called out the host for not reminding a player to pick a letter , leading to him losing the game in a misunderstanding and by a mere $147. Another puzzling pattern has emerged, which is that no player has won the bonus round in a full week , many fans blaming the players, not the host. As for Sowders, another contestant recently botched their bonus puzzle in a similar way after choosing poor letters, but in that instance, they didn’t have the boost of the Wild Card wedge.

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Brooke Rollins, president of the America First Policy Institute, to be agriculture secretary. “As our next Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke will spearhead the effort to protect American Farmers, who are truly the backbone of our Country,” Trump said in a statement. If confirmed by the Senate, Rollins would lead a 100,000-person agency with offices in every county in the country, whose remit includes farm and nutrition programs, forestry, home and farm lending, food safety , rural development, agricultural research, trade and more. It had a budget of $437.2 billion in 2024. The nominee’s agenda would carry implications for American diets and wallets, both urban and rural. Department of Agriculture officials and staff negotiate trade deals, guide dietary recommendations, inspect meat, fight wildfires and support rural broadband, among other activities. “Brooke’s commitment to support the American Farmer, defense of American Food Self-Sufficiency, and the restoration of Agriculture-dependent American Small Towns is second to none,” Trump said in the statement. The America First Policy Institute is a right-leaning think tank whose personnel have worked closely with Trump’s campaign to help shape policy for his incoming administration. She chaired the Domestic Policy Council during Trump’s first term. As agriculture secretary, Rollins would advise the administration on how and whether to implement clean fuel tax credits for biofuels at a time when the sector is hoping to grow through the production of sustainable aviation fuel. The nominee would also guide next year’s renegotiation of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal, in the shadow of disputes over Mexico’s attempt to bar imports of genetically modified corn and Canada’s dairy import quotas . Trump has said he again plans to institute sweeping tariffs that are likely to affect the farm sector. He was considering offering the role to former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler , a staunch ally whom he chose to co-chair his inaugural committee, CNN reported on Friday.FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Josh Hoover threw for 252 yards and a touchdown and JP Richardson had 149 all-purpose yards and a 38-yard touchdown reception to lead TCU over Arizona 49-28 on Saturday. On the first play from scrimmage, Wildcats quarterback Noah Fifita was intercepted by Bud Clark. TCU scored five plays later on Trent Battle’s 4-yard run.

NoneSince its opening on Nov. 24, 1999, the childbirth unit at the Queensway Carleton Hospital has delivered more than 60,000 babies. It was a special occasion at the hospital this week, celebrating 25 years of operation. Melissa Mundee was there, celebrating her 25th birthday. She was the first baby born inside the unit. She brought her daughter, Maciee, who was also delivered at the QCH in 2023. "When my mom first originally told me about that story, it was kind of like, no. And then it kind of felt surreal when I showed up here with Maciee, and it was kind of like a full circle moment, to have my mom, now me. And now we get to celebrate with little Maciee," said Mundee. Staff wished her a happy birthday along with the unit. Some of the staff present have been there since the birthing unit opened. Salli Dambrowitz is the clinical manager of the childbirth program at QCH, and she recalls the first day quite well. "It was quite, quite fun; it was exciting. Everything was new. And so here I am, 25 years later, still here." Dambrowitz said. "We've received lots of patient feedback. They're so happy to have come here. You know, they always have nice things to say about our program," she added. "I think it's fantastic to know that someone who was delivered here once upon a time, 25 years ago, would want to come back here and experience that for her own child and any future children she has," said Shannon Adams, manager of the postpartum unit. The unit is special to many of the staff and they say it's like a family. Some have even had their own children and grandchildren delivered at the hospital. "I've had six of my seven grandchildren born here, and it's been very special. A lot of those children, I have been involved in their delivery process, their care after they've had their baby," said Tracy Zoobkoff, a nurse in the postpartum unit. "It's quite special to go to any events in our local community because everybody will come up to me and say, you were my nurse." "They're happy to have their babies here close, you know, tight-knit team, family, friends. it's, really enjoyable. I, myself, had had my kids here, too, and I wouldn't want to have it any other way," Dambrowitz said. Some of those children are now working at the hospital. "We've made such an impression on some of our babies from years ago that a lot of them want to be nurses. They're going to nursing school. They want to come and join our team. So, we're happy to have them," said Dambrowitz.
