sports rating system Dollar gains amid escalating geopolitical tensions

On the eve of an important divisional matchup versus the Vancouver Canucks (Dec. 28), the Seattle Kraken have bolstered their ranks. On Friday, the club requested the services of defenseman Gustav Olofsson and netminder Ales Stezka from the American Hockey League’s (AHL) Coachella Valley Firebirds.

Additionally, the Kraken have recalled goaltender Ales Stezka from Coachella on an emergency basis. pic.twitter.com/5LPDRl0viS Olofsson Goes Up and Down, Stezka as an Emergency Olofsson has been on the proverbial elevator ride the past few days. Seattle called him up from the AHL on Dec. 21 in the leadup to a pair of away games against the Vegas Golden Knights on Dec. 21 and the Colorado Avalanche on Dec. 22. However, the 20-year-old defenseman was a healthy scratch both nights and sent back to Coachella Valley on Dec. 23. He’s now joining the Kraken for the second time in a week, although it remains to be seen if his services will be used. Olofsson has not seen any NHL action this season. In 27 contests with the Firebirds, the Swede has two goals and 11 points. He also has a plus-2 rating. Ales Stezka is no stranger to being an NHL backup. He was an emergency call-up in support of Joey Daccord earlier this season . The 27-year-old has played 18 contests with Coachella Valley this season, resulting in a 6-9-3 record, a 2.94 goals-against average (GAA), and a .906 save percentage (SV%). According to Emerald City Hockey , Seattle’s number one netminder, Daccord, was shaken up in the team’s Dec. 22 loss to the Avalanche. He is not officially injured, and the Kraken’s social media indicates that Stezka’s presence is in case of an emergency.

I love iced coffee, but I loathe cold coffee. Intentionally iced coffee is perfection, while hot coffee that's gone cold is disgusting. You can, of course, microwave coffee to return it to a drinkable temperature, and I have—many times. But a sad mug of microwaved coffee is no replacement for sipping a freshly brewed cup as close to its original temperature as possible, and that's always going to be a losing race against time. Enter Ember, and its " smart mug ." Unlike your dumb mug, Ember's cup can keep your drink at a stable temperature of your choosing, ranging between 120 ̊F and 145 ̊F. You set the temperature in the Ember app, pour yourself a cup of joe, and sip at your own leisure: Every time you take a drink, your coffee, tea, hot chocolate, what have you, will be the same temperature as the first sip. Even after Cyber Monday, Amazon still has the 14 oz mug on sale for up to 27% off—as long as you're okay with getting it in black. The 10 oz mug is on sale in a number of colors, though, including 21% off in copper and gold, 23% off in red, and 27% off in stainless steel and rose gold. Click through the various colors and sizes to see if you can find a match that works for you. I have been using an Ember mug for a while now, and it really is great—if not slightly surreal. It's an odd thing to pick up a mug of coffee that's been sitting around for half an hour, take a sip, and find it as steamy as when I first poured it. As odd as it sounds, this means it comes with a bit of a learning curve, at least if, like me, you are used to taking larger and larger sips of your coffee the longer it has been sitting around. Don't throw back a cup from your Ember, is what I'm saying. It'll be a bad time. A piping hot cup for over an hour Ember will eventually stop keeping your drink hot when the battery runs out. When new and fully charged, that's a generous 80 minutes, which is a long time to enjoy any single 14 oz beverage. However, if you tend to drink multiple cups a day, that battery will wear out before you've finished your afternoon spreadsheets, so I recommend storing the wireless charging dock wherever you're most likely to be drinking from the Ember mug—perhaps your desk, or on an end table. That way, you can place your mug on the charger instead of a coaster, and keep the battery constantly juiced. Don't let your brew burn The Ember mug isn't perfect. My one gripe is with how it handles the last sip or two of your beverage. It seems the heating element is so strong, it burns, or at least alters the taste of, any too-small amount of liquid. My advice is to finish the cup before it gets to this point, keep your temperature set lower, or turn off the heater via the app when you get about three-quarters of the way through it. A critical note: Do not put your Ember mug in the dishwasher . This mug is hand-wash only . It's safe to scrub it in the sink, and even submerge it in water up to one meter. However, the abrasive nature of your dishwasher's jets will be too much for both the outside coating and the electronics inside the mug. It's a little extra work to hand wash it after each use, but you'll have plenty of energy thanks to having downed that never-cooling cup of coffee.

What's New A busy bridge on the U.S.-Mexico border is set to undergo a $264 million overhaul aimed at streamlining traffic flow in and out of Brownsville, Texas. The General Services Administration (GSA) announced on Friday that it has awarded a contract of this value for the project to Alabama-based general contractor Brasfield & Gorrie to work on the Brownsville-Gateway Land Port of Entry. Why It Matters The overhaul of the crossing—one of the busiest ports of entry between the U.S. and Mexico—is expected to improve border security and immigration enforcement by expanding inspection capabilities and streamlining operations. It comes as the United States braces for President-elect Donald Trump to enact a hard-line immigration agenda, with stricter border measures, leading to heightened concerns over mass deportations . What To Know Funded by federal infrastructure laws, the overhaul includes the use of low-carbon materials, enhancing efficiency at the critical trade and travel hub. Key upgrades include doubling the number of primary vehicle inspection lanes from five to 10 and expanding secondary inspection spaces with the addition of nine canopied lanes, bringing the total to 24. The project will also feature the construction of a 48,000 square foot U.S. Customs and Border Protection building, according to the GSA. By doubling the vehicle inspection lanes and increasing secondary inspection spaces, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can process a larger volume of vehicles and pedestrians more efficiently. This will help reduce congestion, ensuring that security checks are thorough but timely, preventing potential security threats from being overlooked in long wait times. The customs building and integration of non-intrusive inspection technologies further support the enforcement of immigration laws. With upgraded facilities, CBP will have improved resources to conduct inspections, as well canines and advanced technology to increase the effectiveness of immigration enforcement while maintaining trade flow. Located on nine acres in downtown Brownsville, the port processes approximately 92,000 passenger vehicles and 89,000 pedestrians monthly via the Gateway International Bridge, which connects with Matamoros in Mexico. It has been operating since the 1920s but has had limited renovations since the 1990s. The latest renovations will transform the port into an all-electric facility, incorporating water-saving measures and energy-efficient features, according to the GSA. The construction materials will help cut carbon emissions by up to 300 metric tons, according to the administration. This project uses $213.5 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and over $50 million from the Inflation Reduction Act, including $48.3 million for low-carbon construction materials like asphalt, concrete, glass and steel. What People Are Saying Republican Senator John Cornyn, of Texas, told Newsweek : "Now more than ever, it is critical that our nation's ports of entry are equipped with the resources and infrastructure needed to facilitate trade and strengthen border security. "This modernization project for the Brownsville-Gateway Land Port of Entry will improve facilities and lead to more efficient daily operations, including shortening wait times." CBP Acting Deputy Commissioner Pete Flores said : "This complete overhaul of the primary lanes and CBP administrative building infrastructure at Gateway is a vital, much-needed project that will provide our employees with the updated workspace essential to fulfilling our national and economic security mission. "This critical infrastructure project will enable CBP to be able to process a much larger volume of passenger vehicle and pedestrian traffic while still upholding the agency's priority border security mission through an effective deployment of CBP officers, canines, and non-intrusive inspection system technology." Democratic Congressman Vicente Gonzalez said: "Thanks to funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the modernization of the Brownsville-Gateway land port of entry is fantastic news for South Texas. "By enhancing security, shortening wait times, and supporting our growing demand for cross-border movement, we are ensuring Brownsville remains a competitive entrance for trade, tourism, and travel." What's Next Design work is set to begin in February 2025, with construction starting in summer 2026 and completion anticipated by late 2029.HOUSTON (AP) — An elaborate parody appears to be behind an effort to resurrect Enron, the Houston-based energy company that exemplified the worst in American corporate fraud and greed after it went bankrupt in 2001. If its return is comedic, some former employees who lost everything in Enron’s collapse aren’t laughing. “It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?” said former Enron employee Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Here’s what to know about the history of Enron and the purported effort to bring it back. Once the nation’s seventh-largest company, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, after years of accounting tricks could no longer hide billions of dollars in debt or make failing ventures appear profitable. The energy company's collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work, wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions and rendered $60 billion in Enron stock worthless. Its aftershocks were felt throughout the energy sector. Twenty-four Enron executives , including former CEO Jeffrey Skilling , were eventually convicted for their roles in the fraud. Enron founder Key Lay’s convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease following his 2006 trial. On Monday — the 23rd anniversary of the bankruptcy filing — a company representing itself as Enron announced in a news release that it was relaunching as a “company dedicated to solving the global energy crisis.” It also posted a video on social media, advertised on at least one Houston billboard and a took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle In the minute-long video that was full of generic corporate jargon, the company talks about “growth” and “rebirth.” It ends with the words, “We’re back. Can we talk?” Enron's new website features a company store, where various items featuring the brand's tilted “E” logo are for sale, including a $118 hoodie. In an email, company spokesperson Will Chabot said the new Enron was not doing any interviews yet, but that "We’ll have more to share soon.” Signs point to the comeback being a joke. In the “terms of use and conditions of sale” on the company's website, it says “the information on the website about Enron is First Amendment protected parody, represents performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.” Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show that College Company, an Arkansas-based LLC, owns the Enron trademark. The co-founder of College Company is Connor Gaydos, who helped create a joke conspiracy theory that claims all birds are actually surveillance drones for the government. Peters said that since learning about the “relaunch” of Enron, she has spoken with several other former employees and they are also upset by it. She said the apparent stunt was “in poor taste.” “If it’s a joke, it’s rude, extremely rude. And I hope that they realize it and apologize to all of the Enron employees,” Peters said. Peters, who is 74 years old, said she is still working in information technology because “I lost everything in Enron, and so my Social Security doesn’t always take care of things I need done.” “Enron’s downfall taught us critical lessons about corporate ethics, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Enron’s legacy was the employees in the trenches. Leave Enron buried,” she said. Follow Juan A. Lozano on X at https://x.com/juanlozano70
