Giannis Antetokounmpo returns for Bucks after missing 1 game with knee swelling

NEW YORK — Stoli Group USA, the owner of the namesake vodka , has filed for bankruptcy as it struggled to contend with slowing demand for spirits, a major cyberattack that has snarled its operations and several years of fighting Russia in court. The company in its bankruptcy filing said it is “experiencing financial difficulties” and lists between $50 million and $100 million in liabilities. Stoli vodka and Kentucky Owl bourbon will continue to be available on store shelves while the company navigates the Chapter 11 process, which only pertains to its U.S. business. Until 2022, Stoli was sold as Stolichnaya in the United States, which loosely translates to “capital city” in Russian. The company shortened its title following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and boycotts against Russian-branded vodkas . Stoli Group’s founder, Russian-born billionaire Yuri Shefler, was exiled from that nation in 2000 because of his opposition to President Vladimir Putin. Intel announced on December 2 that CEO Pat Gelsinger has resigned after a difficult stint at the company. The once-dominant chipmaker’s stock cratered as it missed the AI boom and was surpassed by most of its rivals. The liquor has long been marketed as a Russian vodka, but its production facilities have been in Latvia for several decades. Stoli Group is a unit of Luxembourg-based SPI Group, which owns other spirit and wine brands. “The Stoli Group has been targeted by the Russian Federation since it was formed nearly 25 years ago,” said Stoli Group CEO Chris Caldwell in a statement. “Earlier this year the company and our owner were both named by the Russian state as ‘extremist groups working against Russia’s interests.’” Its ongoing legal battle with the Russia government has forced Stoli to “spend dozens of millions of dollars on this long-term court battle across the globe with the Russian authorities,” according to its court filing. Caldwell also said that Stoli’s global operations has been a “victim of a malicious cyber attack” that has forced the company to operate “entirely manually while the systems are rebuilt.” A slowdown in demand for alcohol has crushed several company’s bottom lines following the pandemic when people were stuck at home and stocked up. Stoli’s filings said that it has seen a “decline and softening of demand for alcohol and spirits products post-Covid and especially beginning in 2023 and continuing into 2024.” Stoli Group USA, maker of Stoli vodka, has filed for bankruptcy due to slowing demand for spirits, a major cyberattack, and ongoing legal battles with Russia.

Players of Nigeria Premier Football League side, El-Kanemi Warriors, have opened up on their harrowing experiences on the road to honour matches in the Nigeria Premier Football League after they were attacked by armed robbers along the Jos-Bauchi road on Saturday, The PUNCH reports. The 2024 President Federation Cup champions were returning to Maiduguri from Lagos after their match-day 14 (midweek) tie against Ikorodu City when the incident happened. In the wake of the incident which left about eight players and other officials injured and valuables stolen, some of them revealed that the robbery would have been avoided if they made their long journeys by air or even travelled in a well-serviced team bus. “No plans to travel by air as we speak but we pray they do something or provide a better vehicle,” one of the survivors who pleaded anonymity told The PUNCH. “What happened was as soon as we got to Jos, the team bus developed a serious fault so the management had to hire two buses, unfortunately, it was the bus in front that was attacked. We just started hearing noise and gunshots. “I can tell you for free that if the team bus is better as it should have been, we would not have been involved in that incident that night. So, the entire team is calling on the government to do something urgently about it,” he added. Another injured player in the robbery also revealed that they couldn’t afford to break the journey again due to the timing of their next home fixture, while their opponents Bayelsa United travelled by air.

The shortest distances are the ones we will cover within the north and they are still far,” the player said. “We usually lodge in hotels to break our journey but this was because of the home game that we had to sacrifice that day for. We left Lagos on Thursday and we would have entered Maiduguri on Saturday morning with the way we moved. Imagine playing on Wednesday and rushing to play on Sunday,” the player said. Despite the incident, the club still had about 20 fit players (eight players who didn’t travel to Lagos and other survivors of the robbery) to prosecute the match-day 15 tie which ended in a goalless draw against Bayelsa United. Secretary of the club, Bura Mustapha, however, deferred comments on plans of the state government to ease the plight of the players. “Thank you, but the media officer will be able to tell you anything about that,” Mustapha said when contacted by our correspondent. Earlier this year in June, when the team won the President Federation Cup title at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, they also spent three days on the road from Lagos to Maiduguri where they were welcomed by their expectant fans. Before the end of 2024, they will make back-to-back visits to the southwest for another date against Remo Stars in Ikenne on Sunday, December 8 and Sunshine Stars two weeks later in Ijebu Ode while a home game against Abia Warriors in between those fixtures on December 15.Did Kamala Harris fail because she chose the path of Liz Cheney and abandoned working families?

Kazel Kinouchi never naging kabit ni Richard: Hindi nga kami friends!Anxiety about money, gun violence and hate crimes ranked high on list of American's concerns Limiting your news consumption may help ease stress and anxiety More than before, Americans surveyed say they'll make mental health resolutions for 2025 FRIDAY, Dec. 27, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Should you cut back on doom scrolling in 2025? Worries about money, gun violence and hate crimes ranked high among many people's lists of worries at the end of 2024, according to a poll that is part of American Psychiatric Association (APA) Healthy Minds Monthly opinion poll series. The survey included 2200 U.S. adults. Reducing news consumption may be beneficial for your mental health , experts say. "If current events seem overwhelming it may be time to limit your news consumption,” Dr. Marketa Wills , medical director of the APA, said. “While we like to stay informed, the news can also impact our mental health, and being mindful of that impact is important," Wells said in a news release. According to the APA's research, American adults have remained most anxious about the economy and gun violence throughout 2024. Looking ahead to 2025, more than 1/3 of Americans surveyed (33%) say they will make mental health-related New Year’s resolutions, which is a 5% increase from last year. In fact, the increase is the highest result the APA has collected since it began asking the question in 2021. As usual, many people report that they will pledge to be more physically active in 2025; other resolutions focus on participating in mentally healthy activities. Spend more time in nature (46%) Meditation (44%) Focus on spirituality (37%) Take a social media break (30%) Journaling (29%) “A new year brings with it new opportunities but also renewed concerns about the very important issues that impact our lives,” Wills said, adding that “any time of the year, mental health matters. Staying mindful of how we’re doing while taking active steps to care for ourselves is a terrific resolution.” More information The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has more on stress and anxiety management. SOURCE: American Psychiatric Association (APA), news release, Dec. 13, 2024; APA, press release, Dec. 18, 2024 If you make resolutions, consider starting or re-starting a practice that will nurture your mental health, such as meditating or taking a break from social media.

CALGARY, Alberta – Minnesota Wild goalie Marc-Andre Fleury bounded down the tunnel and onto the ice for his 1,000th NHL start and what was presumably the final start of his career in the home rink of the Edmonton Oilers — a team he’d beaten 16 times previously in his career. ADVERTISEMENT He corralled one of the dozens of pucks strewn around the ice and fired toward the cage he would soon be guarding. But his attempt at an empty-net goal was foiled when the puck he had shot hit another puck at the top of the crease and both slid to the corners of the rink. It was just the first thing that would go wrong for the guy teammates lovingly call “Flower” on this night. Less than 30 seconds into the game, he swung at a puck bouncing in his direction all the way from the red line. He missed, and the Oilers led 1-0 on a fluke that had the Rogers Place crowd roaring and smiling. After the initial shock wore off, Fleury was smiling too. “I haven’t played in so long, I wanted to do well and help the team, and at the beginning to let that one in, I was mad for a little bit and then I just laughed. It was so stupid,” he said following Minnesota’s 5-3 win, which gave him a 4-0-1 record for the season. “The guys came by and they gave me a tap, and they laughed and kind of made it a little lighter. And they battled well, nobody sat back.” ADVERTISEMENT Just under 60 minutes of game time later, Flower was the one grinning in the Wild locker room as Minnesota won its ninth road game in a dozen opportunities. Fleury finished with 28 saves, and the other two Edmonton goals both went off the skates of Wild defenders. In the first period, he made a sprawling poke-check save to thwart Oilers star Connor McDavid’s rush to the net that had the Edmonton crowd primed to explode again. It was the 1,030th appearance in an NHL game for Fleury, moving him past Patrick Roy into third in the NHL record books for most games played by a goalie. He will turn 40 on Thanksgiving Day and has been in the league since 2003, after the Penguins made him the first-overall pick in that summer’s draft. But with Filip Gustavsson off to a fantastic start as the Wild’s mainstay in the crease, and Jesper Wallstedt waiting in the wings (in Iowa) presumably as the franchise’s goalie of the future, Fleury finds himself in a new role: backup goalie. Perhaps the only time his ever-present smile seemed forced following the win in Edmonton was when Fleury pointed out, on two occasions, that it was his first start in three weeks, since a win at San Jose on Nov. 7. ADVERTISEMENT Minnesota coach John Hynes reiterated on Friday afternoon that there was, for a brief moment, a thought that the Wild would carry three goalies — Gustavsson, Fleury and Wallstedt — for a time in October, meaning there would be two backups, or a rotation plus a third stringer. It didn’t work out that way. “Gus and Flower played well. Wally played well. But based on contracts and things like that and where everyone’s at in their career, Wally went down and played (in Iowa) and he’s doing a good job now and has found his game,” Hynes said. “But Flower’s playing really well and Gus is playing really well. So, it hasn’t been that he’s...the understudy. It’s just, here’s what we need to do everyday and then we’ll try to let you know when we’re going to start. Sometimes, it might be in advance. Sometimes, it might be a little closer to the game.” Fleury has made it clear that this will be the final season of his career, so like a rare flower that only blooms once in a while, seeing one of his remaining starts is worth seeking out. Of course, with the Wild defying expectations, the team’s fanbase is clearly hoping this flower keeps blooming well into May or even June.

Cédricson Okitundu, who has played 16 games for the Vees, managed to collect two assists to go along with four penalty minutes. The player signed with the team in October after starting the 2024-25 season in the Western Hockey League with the Prince Albert Raiders. This move means the Vees’ roster sits at 24 players, with three goalies, nine defencemen, and 12 forwards. The Vees return to the ice with a pair of home games this weekend at the South Okanagan Events Centre. Penticton hosts the Blackfalds Bulldogs on Saturday, with puck drop at 6 p.m., and the Okotoks Oilers on Sunday, with puck drop at 4 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults and are available at the SOEC box office, or online at www.valleyfirsttix.com .

Snow continued to fall Monday around parts of the Great Lakes region, where storm-weary residents who have plowed and shoveled for days faced the prospect of even greater accumulations. Lake-effect snow fell on parts of western New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio that were already blanketed with a foot (0.3 meters) or more over the past four days. By Monday morning, the village of Cassadaga, New York, east of Lake Erie, recorded 4.5 feet (1.4 meters) of snow. Snow was forecast through Tuesday in that largely rural area south of Buffalo. “It was so much, so quick, that we got buried," said Rebecca Chamberlin, who lives in Cassadaga with her husband and two sons. She has been struggling to keep up with the bands of sometimes wet and heavy snow. “If it had been, you know, over a period of a week or more, it wouldn’t have been so bad.” In Ohio, the quaint village of Geneva-on-the-Lake had more than 4 feet (1.2 meters) of snow, and more is in the forecast through the rest of the week, according to the National Weather Service. “At this point, it's just annoying,” said Ryan Colby, who lives a snowball's toss from Lake Erie in the Ohio village. “We’ve just been getting hit left and right with it. I’ve been getting up every couple hours and shoveling out the driveway and the porch just so we don’t get too, too buried again.” Lake-effect snow warnings were in effect through Tuesday night in parts of Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania. Winter storm warnings or advisories also were posted through Tuesday in Michigan, up and down the Lake Michigan coast, where as much as a foot (0.3 meters) of snow was predicted. Farther inland, some communities canceled school, including Gaylord, where more than 3 feet (0.9 meters) of snow has fallen since Thanksgiving. “Last year at this time we still had green grass,” said Mike Williams, who has a snow removal business in Gaylord. “To get it all at once overwhelmed everyone.” In southwest Michigan, a crash involving about 14 passenger vehicles and three semi-trucks critically injured a driver and shut down Interstate 94 near Hartford in both directions during whiteout conditions on Monday, the Michigan State Police posted on the social platform X. More than a dozen “vehicle slide offs” had also been reported in the area, with police warning drivers to slow down. Skies were clear east of Lake Ontario in northern New York, where some residents were still digging out from mountains of snow. “We’ve got snow banks that are higher than me,” said Mary Shambo, owner of the Cottage Inn in Copenhagen, New York. The small village received more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) of snow in four days. Shambo and her husband, Ben, managed to stay open through the thick of the storm. Some locals arrived by snowmobile, but they mostly served truckers who pulled off the road when bands of snow became particularly fierce. “It goes from whiteout conditions to clear,” she said, “so they would take off when it was clear and hope to God they got to where they needed to go.” In Ohio, the mayor of Geneva-on-the-Lake has been using a backhoe almost nonstop since Thursday to clear the snow. “Every business down here has been shut down the last four days," Mayor Dwayne Bennett said. “You can’t even get in the front doors." “The problem is we’re not equipped to handle this much snow in this amount of time,” he added. Officials faced similar problems in snow-bound Erie, Pennsylvania, where 3 to 4 feet (0.9 to 1.2 meters) of snow fell since Thursday, and accumulations on the ground were particularly wet and heavy. “Every shovel is like 30 pounds, and there’s not a lot of space to put that snow once it’s been piling up for days and days,” said Sarah Morrison with the Erie Metropolitan Transit Authority. Up to 17 inches (43 centimeters) of snow fell in Alaska’s capital city of Juneau over the weekend as part of a system that was “definitely stronger” than what the region typically experiences this time of year, National Weather Service meteorologist Greg Spann said. Snow had transitioned to freezing rain early Monday, he said, with roads icy in some areas. Wet, heavy snow was piled on sidewalks along typically busy streets near downtown Juneau, and slushy pools were forming at some intersections. School went to remote learning in the city on Monday, and state offices were closed due to freezing rain. Ice encased the thin branches on some trees. The rest of Juneau's week is expected to be very different, with forecasts calling for rain and unusually warm temperatures in the 40s (between 4.4 and 10 degrees Celsius). This story has been updated to correct the snow total in Cassadaga, New York, to 4.5 feet, not 5.5 feet. Contributing to this report were Susan Haigh in Norwich, Connecticut; John Seewer in Toledo, Ohio; Ed White in Detroit; Mark Scolforo in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and Becky Bohrer in Juneau, Alaska.

New Jersey DUI Attorney Rachel Kugel Releases Article on the Impact of DUIs on CDL Holders 12-02-2024 11:26 PM CET | Politics, Law & Society Press release from: ABNewswire New Jersey DUI attorney Rachel Kugel ( https://thekugellawfirm.com/what-happens-if-you-get-a-dui-with-a-cdl-in-a-personal-vehicle/ ) of The Kugel Law Firm brings attention to the critical challenges faced by Commercial Driver's License (CDL) holders charged with driving under the influence (DUI). Whether the incident occurs in a personal vehicle or a commercial one, the consequences can disrupt careers, finances, and personal lives. Rachel Kugel, a prominent New Jersey DUI attorney, explains that CDL holders are held to stricter standards than other drivers. "Even a DUI conviction in a personal vehicle carries severe penalties for CDL holders, including a mandatory one-year suspension of their commercial license. These measures highlight the higher expectations placed on professional drivers to maintain public safety," Kugel states. A DUI conviction for a CDL holder can have immediate and long-term ramifications. As a New Jersey DUI attorney who has worked closely with affected drivers, Rachel Kugel underscores the far-reaching impacts, which include job loss, limited future employment opportunities, and the stigma of a criminal record. The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for CDL holders driving commercial vehicles is just 0.04%, significantly lower than the 0.08% limit for non-commercial drivers. Rachel Kugel highlights that this threshold reflects the increased responsibility of CDL drivers and the potential dangers of impaired driving. For CDL holders, the stakes are high regardless of the type of vehicle involved. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations help ensure that DUI convictions, whether incurred in a personal or commercial vehicle, lead to immediate license suspension. As Rachel Kugel notes, "These consistent penalties further ensure accountability and reinforce the critical importance of safe driving at all times." A first DUI offense results in a one-year CDL suspension, extending to three years if hazardous materials are involved. Subsequent offenses can result in a lifetime ban, with reinstatement possible only under stringent conditions after ten years. The professional repercussions of a DUI conviction for CDL holders often go beyond the courtroom. Rachel Kugel explains, "Employers in the transportation industry frequently enforce zero-tolerance policies for DUI convictions. Many drivers find themselves terminated after an arrest, regardless of the legal outcome." Reemployment is another significant challenge. CDL holders with a DUI on their record may struggle to secure new positions in the industry, even after serving a suspension and fulfilling all legal obligations. For many, this can mean starting over in a new field, often at a lower income. Beyond career challenges, CDL holders also face increased insurance premiums, which can spike by as much as 80%, adding significant financial strain. Combined with fines, legal fees, and mandatory DUI programs, the economic toll of a conviction is often overwhelming. Rachel Kugel advises CDL holders charged with DUI to take immediate action to protect their livelihoods. Early intervention by a skilled legal advocate can often mitigate the severity of penalties and, in some cases, challenge the basis of the charges. Effective defense strategies for CDL holders include questioning the legality of the traffic stop, scrutinizing the accuracy of sobriety tests, and addressing any factors-such as medical conditions-that may have influenced BAC readings. Kugel emphasizes, "A strong legal defense can be the difference between career-ending consequences and a manageable outcome." For New Jersey CDL holders, the consequences of a DUI are both immediate and lasting. Rachel Kugel urges drivers to seek knowledgeable legal counsel as soon as possible to address the challenges of their cases. "Don't wait to take action," Kugel says. "A single mistake doesn't have to define your future, and there are legal paths to protect your career and your rights." About The Kugel Law Firm: The Kugel Law Firm is a New Jersey-based practice devoted to defending individuals charged with DUIs, including CDL holders. Led by attorney Rachel Kugel, the firm is committed to providing strategic and compassionate representation to safeguard its clients' rights and livelihoods.
