More than 30 companies showcased their latest robots at the international conference on humanoid robotics that can one day live and work in homes. CNN's Saskya Vandoorne reports.LOS ANGELES (AP) — Adrian Kempe and Quinton Byfield scored in the second period, and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Seattle Kraken 2-1 on Saturday. David Rittich made 19 saves for the Kings, who improved to 6-2-1 at home. Kempe and Byfield scored 1:44 apart in the second period. Byfield buried a sharp-angle slap shot on a power play while dropping to a knee. It was his 98th career point in 200 games. Brandon Montour got the Kraken on the board with 1:26 left in the game. He converted a long shot with Joey Daccord off for another skater, but Los Angeles held on. Daccord finished with 19 stops for Seattle. Kraken: Jordan Eberle will miss at least three months after undergoing surgery on his pelvis. He had six goals and five assists in 17 games before he got hurt against Chicago on Nov. 14. Kings: The power play had been in a 1-for-16 rut (6.25%) over the previous six games before Byfield found the net. It was the Kings' lone opportunity with the man-advantage. After following its 1-0 loss to Buffalo on Wednesday with a fourth straight period of extreme low-event hockey, Los Angeles created a lot more activity and offense to start the second and generate its two goals. The Kings know how to close out games, improving to 9-0-1 when leading after two periods. The Kraken visit Anaheim on Monday, and the Kings play at San Jose on Monday.

FLORIDA STATE 92, UMASS 59Phillip Hughes’ family shares new ‘hope’ on 10-year anniversary of his tragic passing
FLORIDA STATE 92, UMASS 59Jonah Goldberg: What if most Americans aren't bitterly divided?Global stocks mostly rose Thursday following strong earnings from artificial intelligence leader Nvidia as bitcoin prices zoomed near $100,000 and oil prices rose. Nvidia itself had a volatile day, finishing modestly higher after several reversals. The chip company reported a whopping $19 billion in profits, although investors wondered if its current rate of stupendous growth is sustainable. But stocks rose as a "relief trade" after the Nvidia report, said Briefing.com analyst Patrick O'Hare, who noted that investors had feared a disappointing Nvidia announcement would spark a tech sell-off. All three major US indices rose, led by the Dow, which won more than one percent. The pickup on US markets also helped European bourses shake off early weakness. O'Hare called Thursday's rally a "broad-based move," noting nine of 11 US sectors rose and adding that investors are hopeful about a year-end rally. But worsening tensions between Russia and Ukraine also loom as a risk. Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that the conflict in Ukraine had characteristics of a "global" war and did not rule out strikes on Western countries. Putin spoke out after a day of frayed nerves, with Russia test-firing a new generation intermediate-range missile at Ukraine. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky branded the strike a major ramping up of the "scale and brutality" of the war by a "crazy neighbor", while Kyiv's main backer the United States said that Russia was to blame for escalating the conflict "at every turn". The tension helped push oil prices up around two percent and played a role in lifting natural gas prices to their highest level in a year. The dollar also continued to push higher, boosted by the falling odds of further Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, as well as the greenback's status as a haven currency. But the day's most impressive action may have been bitcoin, which soared above $99,000. The cryptocurrency has been lifted by expectations that Donald Trump, spurred by cryptocurrency cheerleader Elon Musk, will bring it further into everyday use upon re-entering the White House in January. "Will Americans be able to use crypto to pay their taxes in the future? There is a bigger possibility of this happening now than before the election," said Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB. In Asia, shares in Indian conglomerate Adani Group tanked after US prosecutors charged its owner Gautam Adani with handing out more than $250 million in bribes for key contracts. Flagship operation Adani Enterprises dived almost 20 percent, while several of its subsidiaries -- from coal to media businesses -- lost 10 to 20 percent. Among other companies, Google parent Alphabet tumbled 4.6 percent after the Justice Department asked a federal court to order Google to sell its widely used Chrome browser in a major antitrust crackdown. DOJ also asked the court to ban deals for Google to be the default search engine on smartphones and prevent it from exploiting its Android mobile operating system.

Quinn runs for 154 yards, 2 TDs to lead Texas Southern over Arkansas-Pine Bluff 31-23Citizens Coalition for Change Statement on 2025 budget statement The recent national budget proposal exposes the Zanu-PF government's obnoxious penchant to compulsorily expropriate people's money to the last cent to fund the honchos lavish lifestyle. As Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) we are of the conviction that the fundamental error in the budget statement was failure to understand what makes a nation succeed. Our success must move from a government that is just a tax collector to one that enables economic growth and create jobs. Our people are suffering idleness. A CCC government will implement the following budget policies: 1. Ensure job creation by funding youth and women innovation funnels and entrepreneurial development 2. Cut off middlemen often called "buyers" in the mineral value chain by enhancing capacity of the Minerals Marketing Authority to Zimbabwe and Fidelity Printers. This will prevent pilferage and haemorrhage of precious minerals for the benefit of the select few. 3. Empower communities through revenue share of mineral wealth through community ownership schemes run by trusts. 4. Drive innovation, partnerships and good governance to have part of mineral wealth exploited fully by exclusive mining by Zimbabwe Mining Development Fund. 5. Fund rural value addition in agriculture, organise communities and offer export incentives. Develop and deploy rural industrial hubs and access to market schemes. 6. Have robust fiscal regime that curtail non-value adding imports whilst growing local capacity. 7. Invest in science and technology including innovation hubs that go beyond the familiar of copying and pasting already existing ideas. 8. Re-invent the idea of growth points as centres of economic success stories and as places to live and thrive for the youth. 9. Increase tax collection by simplifying the tax code and offer tax breaks for Small Micro and medium enterprises. 10. Reform, fund and refine technical college training to enable massive export of labour on a government to government agreement. 11. Negotiate taxations agreement that enable additional tax benefit from the Zimbabwe trained diaspora benefitting foreign governments. 12. Simplify license, permits and tax payments to simplify the cost of doing business so as to attract investment and prevent underground economy. As CCC we believe in the importance of health for all. Taxes should not be used to punish citizens and corporates. A CCC government will do the following: 1. Establish a lean collecting agent for lifestyle taxes including but not limited to sugar tax, airtime and data tax, tobacco and cigarette surtax, and other health related tax collections 2. Ensure a 100% free tax regime for health service firms and PAYE exemption of health service workers. 3. Initiate a council that encompass Aids, TB, Cancer, Diabetes and Hypertension instead of just one that cares for HIV and AIDS.The education budget allocation greatness is that it exceeds the Maputo Declaration albeit that 16% of nothing is nothing. A one size fits all model causes inordinate tax burdens. As a CCC government we shall cover 100% of rural schools' budget, 70% for high- density schools, 50% of low-densityschools and 0% of private schools. Presenting a budget on the mantra of "Building Resilience for Sustained Economic Transformation" is a loud sounding nothing when in the statement the anchor remains agriculture and mining. A CCC government will drive economic diversification as a strategic imperative. Further we shall ensure the entire Zimbabwe is a special economic zone for 5 years to attract and retain investment then create jobs. The country's economy is largely formal. Introducing corporate tax as a panacea solves nothing in our view. A CCC government will drive a program to simplify the tax code including licensing and permit codes. We shall liaise with professional bodies to further simplify reporting standards of small enterprises. This will enable easy and cost-effectivecompliance. A decentralised area-based Zimra booth is a simple idea but effective. Capturing the formal into informal shall be done with massive reduction of tax heads and tax amounts. As a CCC government our intention is to collapse ministries with insignificant allocations and or make them departments. Allocations should be alive to value creation ministries more. We shall discard incremental budgets and implement value and activity-based budgeting. It is sad that civil servants welfare was largely ignored in this budget. As CCC government we shall benchmark salaries to regional standards with a first-year premium of a higher cost of living in the country. The budget is based on a ZiG conversion that is sub optimal and false. It's a lie. As CCC government in our first year of office we shall base our budget on US dollar, discard the ZiG and then deploy a mono currency in the second year. The diaspora rights particularly the right to vote could increase diaspora remittances and promotion of import substitution to help the balance of payments and the current account. The budget is anti-people, anti-business and anti-Zimbabwe. It must be rejected. Willias Madzimure Party Spokesperson Citizens Coalition for Change

Every pre-occupation of successive Canadian governments, but particularly the current one in Ottawa, has only been possible because Canada shares a border with the greatest military and economic force in history, and because they’ve generally paid us little attention. Canada has a rotting military, not because we are morally superior to the Spartans on our doorstep, but because we’ve always assumed defence of the continent includes defence of us. Ten years ago, before he was prime minister, Justin Trudeau’s comments about the Harper government’s plan to send fighter jets to Iraq to assist the Americans, are as good an example of the lies Canadian leaders tell themselves and the rest of us, as anything. Trudeau thought Canada’s role should be focused on humanitarian aid, “Rather than, you know, trying to whip out our CF-18s and show them how big they are. It just doesn’t work like that in Canada.” The only reason “it just doesn’t work like that in Canada” is because American goodwill has relieved this country of the need to have a functioning military. Similarly, Canada has a more porous border and a more welcoming immigration regime than the U.S., because we face almost none of the problems the Americans do on their southern border, and because would-be immigrants would choose New York before Halifax in a heartbeat. We can be welcoming to the world, because we are no one’s first choice. The Americans, as with defence, do the work to keep the continent secure, while Canadians confuse coasting with moral policy choices. After Donald Trump was elected the first time on a platform to control illegal immigration, Trudeau posted on social media in 2017, “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength.” A northward deluge of asylum seekers coming to Canada via the unofficial border crossing at Roxham Road quickly followed, a loophole that has since been closed. Canada has a more relaxed system for asylum seekers, but only because it doesn’t share a border with Mexico. The Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement, which allows either country to turn back migrants, exists because the Canadian government requested it in exchange for cooperation in the war on terror, some two decades ago. It is not Canadian benevolence that allows us to be open to the world, it is because Ottawa hides behind Washington. So too, explains Canada’s obsessions with any number of economic killing policies. Access to American markets, particularly since the free trade era that started in the 1980s, has assured Canadians enjoy a standard of living approximating our neighbours to the South, without anywhere near the capitalistic dynamism they possess. The Trump tariffs will be costly for Americans, unnecessarily raising the cost of energy, cars and trucks, critical minerals and aluminum and steel. Tariffs are weapons countries aim and fire at themselves. But even worse is a country that devotes its efforts to killing its own industry. Whereas the Americans are threatening to raise tariffs high enough so that they don’t buy from us, the Liberals have spent the last decade trying to prevent the sale of those very same goods. Leading up to Trump’s announcement that he will impose the tariff, unless Canada (and Mexico) get control of their borders, there was speculation that any tariffs would exempt Canadian energy. But no such exemption was mentioned by Trump on Monday. So now, Canada’s biggest industry and greatest source of wealth has to contend with both Trudeau and Trump trying to kill it. Whether it was the cancelling of the Northern Gateway pipeline, or excessive rules and regulations that forced Energy East to shut down, or for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion to be delayed by years, or the effective embargo on the export of natural gas, the Liberals have tried to stop the export of Canadian energy to new markets. The only reason that this was even remotely possible is because of the access energy exporters have had to the U.S. market. Same goes with the supply management of eggs, poultry and dairy, foreign ownership restrictions on airlines, banks and media, and any number of other protectionist policies of our own. They have only ever been viable because of Canada’s proximity to the U.S., and the sheer wealth that emanates from it. Canadian politicians can indulge all of their socialistic fantasies because the American commitment to free enterprise ensures their good fortune spills up here. Trump threatening a tariff may just be a negotiating tactic, as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement comes up for review in 2026, or it may be something more permanent and sinister. Either way, Canada no longer has the luxury to continue behaving like a spoiled child who tells everyone they are independently wealthy. In effect, by refusing to keep the Canadian Forces operating like the modern military it is suppose to be, by being hostile to business, and by having a more welcoming immigration regime without the responsibility, Canada has not been asserting its moral superiority or independence from the U.S., it has been, in truth, embracing its status as nothing more than an American satellite.

NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL: Siena flies south to Florida for Fort Myers Tip-OffThere have been plenty of critics of the way the Lakers organization is handling Bronny James. Now you can add one more. Charles Barkley called it “awful” when discussing the way the organization has handled the development of the oldest son of star LeBron James. The Lakers have opted to have Bronny play home games for the team’s NBA G-League affiliate, South Bay, and then call him back up to the NBA when the development team goes on the road. The kid is not ready to play in the NBA. He should be in the G-League so he can play basketball,” Barkley said during an appearance on “The Bettor Angle” over the weekend. “And also, this thing where he’s only gonna play homes games. It’s stupid, it’s not fair to him. It’s not fair to the team. Can you imagine the coach of that team? You come off a road trip and you have a player you haven’t seen in a week or two. And then you probably feel like you gotta play him,” he continued. “I don’t think they are doing Bronny any favors. They have just handled this thing very bad. It’s a bad look for the Lakers. I really like everything LeBron has done. But it’s a bad look for him [too], in my opinion.” Bronny has appeared in six games for the Lakers this season, averaging 0.7 points per game in 2.3 minutes per game. Down with South Bay, Bronny has averaged 5.0 points and 3.0 assists in 28.5 minutes in two appearances for the G League club. The Lakers have faced plenty of questions about the potential nepotism involved in the decision to draft Bronny after just one season at USC and concerns over his readiness to go pro. Those questions have only grown since the Lakers’ plan for Bronny became public.
Eagles seek 7th straight win while Rams try to keep pace in crowded NFC West race
Hyland Unveils Advanced Healthcare Cloud Imaging SaaS Solution and NilShare to Elevate Image CollaborationEx-president Alberto Fernández has been formally summoned to testify next month in the court case investigating him for gender violence against his ex-partner Fabiola Yañez. The order, by Judge Julián Ercolini, was made in a resolution later published by local press. Ercolini said he considered the evidence supplied by the prosecutor "sufficient" to "summon Alberto Ángel Fernández to testify at 11am on December 11 of the current year" at the federal courthouse in Retiro, Buenos Aires. "He is imputed for having caused on at least two occasions injuries to his then partner Fabiola Andrea Yáñez, whom he had attacked physically, in her arm and right eye," reads the judicial resolution, detailing that both alleged attacks occurred in 2021 during Fernández’s 2019-2023 presidency, according to the denunciation. The writ adds that from then on "the psychological and physical violence became recurrent" on the part of Fernández and Yáñez "had been coerced " into not denouncing it. “Fernández, directly and through third parties, insistently and aggressively asked her not to file a complaint” of gender violence, wrote the judge. Last August 6, former first lady Yáñez denounced Fernández for physical and psychological violence. The couple have a son Francisco, 30 months old. A few days later, the veteran Peronist leader was indicted in the case at the request of the prosecutor, who described the different types of violence which Yáñez said she had suffered, subsequently summoning various witnesses to hear their testimony. Fernández, 65, has denied all accusations. "The truth lies elsewhere," he maintained via his social networks. Judge Ercolini said in his ruling that Fernández’s abuse of Yáñez had left her “with psychological damage, producing a permanent weakening of her health.” – TIMES/AFP/NA Ads Space Ads Space
