Daniel Jones is signing with the Vikings after his release from the Giants, AP source says A person familiar with the decision says former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is signing with the Minnesota Vikings. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the agreement hasn’t been finalized. Jones will join Minnesota’s practice squad less than a week after the Giants released the former No. 6 overall draft pick. Sam Darnold has helped the Vikings start 9-2. Jones joins Nick Mullens and Brett Rypien in Minnesota’s quarterback room. Rookie first-round pick J.J.

LIV Golf will hire sports and entertainment leader Scott O'Neil to replace Greg Norman, report says Scott O'Neil is set to become the next CEO of Saudi-funded LIV Golf. The Athletic is reporting the move for the former head of the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils. O'Neil recently was CEO of Merlin Entertainments. The company that owns resorts like Legoland announced O'Neil was leaving for a new opportunity. O'Neil would replace Greg Norman at LIV Golf. Sports Business Journal reported last month that Norman would move to a different role that has not been announced. Norman has been CEO of the rival golf league since it launched in 2022. The PGA Tour and Saudi backers are still negotiating an investment deal. Two companies drop McGregor after civil jury ruled he must pay $250K to woman who says he raped her LONDON (AP) — Two companies have cut ties with Conor McGregor after a civil court jury in Ireland ruled last week that he must pay nearly 250,000 Euros ($257,000) to a woman who accused the mixed martial arts fighter of raping her. Proximo Spirits, the owner of Irish whiskey brand Proper No. 12, will no longer feature McGregor’s name or image. Video game developer IO Interactive ended its collaboration with McGregor, who had played a character in a game. Nikita Hand said the Dec. 9, 2018, assault after a night of partying left her heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. McGregor said she fabricated the allegations after the two had consensual sex. Staley counsels some South Carolina fans to keep calm after No. 4 Gamecocks 1st loss in two seasons COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina coach Dawn Staley is not in panic mode, even if some of famous “Fams” are following her team's first loss in two seasons. The Gamecocks had won 85 of their previous 86 games, including a program record 43 in a row before falling to UCLA 77-62 this past Sunday. South Carolina slipped from No. 1 to No. 4 in the rankings while the Bruins took over the top spot. Still, it caught Staley by surprise that some supporters were worried about the November loss. Staley said the defending national champions are still finding their way. Thanksgiving Weekend Sports Guide: Your roadmap to NFL matchups, with other games, times and odds The long sports-filled Thanksgiving weekend is a time when many Americans enjoy gathering with friends and family for good food, good company and hopefully not too much political conversation. Also on the menu — all the NFL and college sports you can handle. Here is a roadmap to one of the biggest sports weekends of the year, with a look at marquee games over the holiday and how to watch. Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley prepare for earliest matchup ever between 1,300-yard running backs Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry combined for 395 yards rushing on back-to-back nights at SoFi Stadium as the dynamic playmakers keep proving that investing in running backs can pay off in the right situation. Next, they will play on the same field at the same time when Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles take on Henry and the Baltimore Ravens in the first matchup ever between two 1,300-yard runners in Week 13 or earlier. Before this year, no player had rushed for at least 1,300 yards and 10 TDs in the first 12 weeks of the season since Shaun Alexander in 2005 as teams moved away from bell-cow backs and diminished the importance of the position. Raiders will start O'Connell at quarterback when they visit the Chiefs HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Aidan O’Connell will start at quarterback when the Las Vegas Raiders visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday. Raiders coach Antonio Pierce says O’Connell had progressed well after breaking his right thumb on Oct. 20 in a game against the Los Angeles Rams. Gardner Minshew broke his left collarbone on Sunday in a game against the Denver Broncos and is out for the season. The Raiders could have gone with Desmond Ridder to replace Minshew. SEC losses are big gains for SMU and Indiana in latest College Football Playoff rankings The Southeastern Conference’s losses were almost everyone else’s gain in the College Football Playoff rankings, with SMU nudging its way into the top 12 and Indiana staying in the mix at No. 10 despite a lopsided loss of its own. The latest 12-team bracket placed undefeated Oregon on top for the fourth straight week. It did not include Alabama or Mississippi of the SEC, both of which suffered their third losses of the season last week. That helped place SMU in the ninth spot, joining No. 6 Miami to give the Atlantic Coast Conference two teams in the 12-team bracket. Israeli soccer team prepares for closed-door match in Hungary after attacks on fans in Amsterdam DEBRECEN, Hungary (AP) — Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team has returned to Europe for the first time since its fans were assaulted in the Netherlands earlier this month. The attacks in Amsterdam were condemned as antisemitic by authorities in Israel and across Europe. Macabbi will face off Thursday against Turkey’s Besiktas in an Europa League match that was relocated to Hungary. The contest will be played without fans due to security concerns following the violence in Amsterdam. Hungary has hosted several home games for Israel’s national team for security reasons since the war in Gaza began.

U.S. stocks fell on Wednesday, erasing earlier gains after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point and the central bank's economic projections signaled a slower pace of cuts next year. The Fed cut rates by 25 basis points to the 4.25%-4.50% range and its summary of economic projections (SEP) indicated it will make rate cuts totaling a half percentage point by the end of 2025 given the solid labor market and the recent stall in lowering inflation. Investors were watching comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell for more insight on the path of interest rates from the central bank. "It looks like some early worries about tariffs could be creeping into the Fed's projections. They're penciling in fewer rate cuts in 2025, slightly higher inflation, and a modest increase in the unemployment rate," said Brian Jacobsen, Chief Economist at Annex Wealth Management in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. "The Fed can cut back on the pace of rate cuts thanks to a strong economy."

Also read: Inflation risks roughly balanced as rate cuts signal caution: Fed Chair Jerome Powell Despite the recent declines, the Dow is up nearly 15% on the year, while the S&P has rallied about 26% and the Nasdaq has shot up almost 33%, lifted in large part by technology companies and enthusiasm around artificial intelligence, along with the prospects of a lower rate environment and more recently, the hope of deregulation policies from President-elect Donald Trump's incoming administration. Each of the 11 major S&P 500 sectors were lower, with real estate leading declines. U.S. Treasury yields moved higher after the statement as the benchmark U.S. 10-year note rose 6.3 basis points to 4.448%.

On Wednesday morning, once all the ballots were counted, the incumbent Tories had secured 43 of the 55 seats in the legislature, an increase of nine. The NDP won nine seats, an increase of three, and the Liberals fell to only two seats, a dozen less than when the campaign started. One Independent candidate held her seat — a first for the province. Liberal Leader Zach Churchill, a 40-year-old former cabinet minister, lost his seat after a long, see-saw battle with his Tory rival in the riding of Yarmouth — Churchill's hometown on Nova Scotia's southwestern shore. The Liberals had to give up their role as official opposition and the party barely held on to official party status. "At the end of the day, this falls on my shoulders," Churchill said afterwards. "This loss belongs to me and me alone." But it would be wrong to blame Churchill for his party's collapse at the polls, says Tom Urbaniak, a political science professor at Cape Breton University in Sydney, N.S. "Zach Churchill was dealing with a damaged Liberal brand — damaged in large part by the current standing of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau," Urbaniak said in an interview Wednesday, adding that Houston took advantage of that weakness. "(Churchill) was portrayed as Justin Trudeau's junior protege. And that stuck with some Nova Scotians." Throughout the campaign, Houston and his Tory colleagues tried to link Trudeau — whose Liberals are trailing the federal Tories by about 20 points in the polls — with Churchill, a well-spoken career politician who was elected to lead the provincial party in July 2022. "We know Zach Churchill defends his federal cousins at every turn,” provincial Fisheries and Aquaculture Minister Kent Smith said in a statement early in the campaign. “Once again, when Zach Churchill had the choice to stand up for Nova Scotians or stand with Justin Trudeau, he chose Trudeau.” Churchill was also hobbled by a relatively low provincial profile, Urbaniak said. Despite the fact that he had held the riding of Yarmouth for the past 14 years and served in the cabinet of former Liberal premier Stephen McNeil, Churchill failed to leave much of an impression on the electorate, he said. Part of the problem was that McNeil, who served as premier from 2013 to 2021, rarely let his ministers spend much time in the limelight. "Stephen McNeil, at times, ran a one-person government," the professor said. "The premier made the big decisions .... That came back to hurt Zach Churchill." As well, Houston's decision to call an early election also stung the Liberals and the NDP, both of which were still nominating candidates when the campaign started. On another front, the Liberals in southwestern Nova Scotia were hurt by the fact that residents in several fishing communities had long complained about what they said was the federal Liberal government's failure to stop the illegal fishing of lobsters and baby eels. "The perceived federal mismanagement was a factor in some ridings," Urbaniak said, pointing to the Acadian riding of Clare, which had been held by the Liberals for the past 31 years. Liberal candidate Ronnie LeBlanc, a local fisherman, lost the riding to rookie Tory candidate Ryan Robicheau on Tuesday night by more than 1,000 votes. During the campaign, Churchill promised to establish an inquiry into illegal fishing, but voters on the South Shore were unimpressed. The Tories won all nine ridings in the region. It was Churchill's first election as leader. On Tuesday night, he declined to say if he would stay in the role. Neither Churchill nor Houston were available for an interview Wednesday. As for the NDP, party leader Claudia Chender said she was looking forward to taking on the large Tory majority. "I think what we take away from being the official Opposition is that people are looking for a strong voice and they are looking for a different voice,” said Chender, a 48-year-old lawyer. It was also her first election as leader. She said her priorities include pushing for more protection for renters, and reducing the number of people still seeking a doctor. The three additional seats won by the NDP are all in the Halifax area, part of the party’s traditional power base. Chender said the election results showed her party has room to grow, particularly along the South Shore and in Cape Breton. “In many ridings across this province there were tight two- or three-way races and we are building,” she said. “I think that work has started and will continue.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 27, 2024.

Claims made by the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) that the province’s oil sands companies were more efficient with their use of freshwater in oil production last year are being contested. The Alberta Wilderness Association (AWA) is arguing the AER’s data on water use performance — included in last week’s — contradict the regulator’s own claims. The AER says oil sands companies used 222 billion litres of freshwater to produce 669 million barrels of oil in 2023 — the equivalent of 332 litres of freshwater per barrel. But the 2022 report, according to the AWA, suggests 208 billion litres of freshwater were used to produce 657 million barrels of oil — 317 litres of freshwater per barrel. That would be a five per cent increase in freshwater use per barrel of oil, and a two per cent increase in oil sands production. “If companies were using water more efficiently, as the AER is claiming, we should be seeing freshwater consumption rising less than oil sands production, not more,” said Phillip Meintzer, a conservation specialist at the AWA. The AER’s 2023 report suggests 9.6 trillion litres of freshwater was allocated for use last year. Of that amount, it says 1.22 trillion litres (13 per cent) was allocated to develop energy resources — with the rest being allocated to agriculture, forestry, and municipalities. The AER says the energy industry used 22 per cent of its water allocation in 2023. The Alberta government recently announced $2.7 million to help oil and gas companies reduce water use after finding water use has been dropping, and that 80 per cent of water use is recycled. Those are for three projects, with $1.47 million for water filtration technology from Aqua Pure Technologies and Eximus Environmental Solutions, and $1.2 million for Canadian Natural Resources Limited to develop a chemical to help oil and bitumen flow faster. The projects combined are $6.1 million in public and private investments. 660 NewsRadio has contacted the AER and the Government of Alberta for comment.Western Michigan beats Eastern Michigan 26-18 to become bowl eligible

The birth of humanoid agents: The convergence of ai, mechanics, and humanityNEW YORK (AP) — Sneaking a little ahead of line to get on that plane faster? American Airlines might stop you . In an apparent effort to reduce the headaches caused by airport line cutting, American has rolled out boarding technology that alerts gate agents with an audible sound if a passenger tries to scan a ticket ahead of their assigned group. This new software won't accept a boarding pass before the group it's assigned to is called, so customers who get to the gate prematurely will be asked to go back and wait their turn.

The claim: Smallpox was ‘never eradicated’ and is being ‘held in check’ by vaccines A Nov. 15 Facebook post ( direct link , archive link ) from the liberal group Occupy Democrats includes side-by-side images of a child infected with smallpox and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Health and Human Services secretary. “Say hello to smallpox,” reads text around the images. “It was never eradicated; it’s held in check by vaccines, which RFK Jr. says he will eliminate coverage for, making vaccines ‘optional.’” The post was shared more than 6,000 times in a week. Similar posts were shared on Threads and X, formerly Twitter . More from the Fact-Check Team: How we pick and research claims | Email newsletter | Facebook page Our rating: False The World Health Organization declared smallpox officially eradicated in 1980. The smallpox vaccine is no longer administered routinely by any government, and there has not been a natural case detected since 1977, according to the WHO. The X post quoted in the image was deleted, and the social media user who shared it said in a subsequent post that the disease was eradicated. Smallpox eradicated after years of work to stop spread In 1967, the World Health Organization began an “intensified effort” to eradicate smallpox, a contagious disease caused by the variola virus. The project involved mass vaccination along with widespread surveillance and containment efforts that responded to any outbreaks. These efforts were successful, and the last known natural case occurred in Somalia in 1977, according to the WHO. The only known cases since then were the result of a 1978 lab accident in England , which led to one death and caused a small outbreak. The WHO declared smallpox officially eradicated in 1980. The last natural outbreak of smallpox in the U.S. had occurred decades earlier in 1949, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Before it was eradicated, smallpox plagued humanity for thousands of years and caused hundreds of millions of deaths. The disease spreads through person-to-person contact and saliva droplets in an infected person’s breath, according to the WHO. It’s fatal for about 3 of 10 people who catch it. The symptoms include fever, fatigue and a “characteristic rash with bumps full of a clear liquid,” and many survivors suffered from blindness and infertility . Fact check : No, Japan didn’t name COVID-19 vaccine ‘most deadly drug in history’ The smallpox vaccine was first created by Edward Jenner in 1796 after “he observed that milkmaids who previously had caught cowpox did not catch smallpox,” according to the WHO. Jenner inoculated an 8-year-old boy using matter from a cowpox sore on the hand of a milkmaid. The boy didn’t feel well for several days, but a later test showed he was resistant to smallpox. However, the vaccine hasn’t been used for routine immunization in the U.S. since the 1970s , according to the CDC. Similarly, the WHO says that no government routinely gives the vaccine since it can lead to "rare" but “serious complications and even death,” and should only be given to people exposed to the virus or those at high risk. Despite this, there have been no outbreaks since the 1970s. The disease is, therefore, not being "held in check" by vaccines, as the post claims. Trump nominated Kennedy to serve as secretary of Health and Human Services, putting him in charge of the country's public health department, as USA TODAY previously reported. Kennedy gained notoriety in part for his opposition to the childhood measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, and he spread debunked claims that it was linked to autism. He also frequently criticized COVID-19 restrictions and spread other misinformation about the pandemic. The text in the Occupy Democrats image originated from a post on X from author Karen Piper. She deleted it, saying in a corrective follow-up post that smallpox “was eradicated BY VACCINES.” USA TODAY reached out to Occupy Democrats for comment but did not immediately receive a response. Reuters also debunked the claim. Our fact-check sources Thank you for supporting our journalism. You can subscribe to our print edition, ad-free app or e-newspaper here .

TOMS RIVER, N.J. — A U.S. senator has called for mysterious drones spotted flying over sensitive areas in New Jersey and other parts of the Mid-Atlantic region to be “shot down, if necessary,” even as it remains unclear who owns them. “We should be doing some very urgent intelligence analysis and take them out of the skies, especially if they’re flying over airports or military bases,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said Thursday as concerns about the drones spread across Capitol Hill. People in the New York region are also concerned that the drones may be sharing airspace with commercial airlines, he said, demanding more transparency from the Biden administration. The White House said Thursday that a review of the reported sightings shows that many of them are actually manned aircraft being flown lawfully. White House National Security spokesman John Kirby said there were no reported sightings in any restricted airspace. He said the U.S. Coast Guard has not uncovered any foreign involvement from coastal vessels. “We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat, or have a foreign nexus,” Kirby said, echoing statements from the Pentagon and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy. The drones appear to avoid detection by traditional methods such as helicopter and radio, according to a state lawmaker briefed Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security. The FBI has been investigating and has asked residents to share any videos, photos or other information about the drones. On Wednesday, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said they are not U.S. military drones. The number of sightings has increased in recent days, though officials say many of the objects seen might have been planes rather than drones. It’s also possible that a single drone has been reported more than once. The worry stems partly from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility, and over President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. In a post on the social media platform X, Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia described the drones as up to 6 feet in diameter and sometimes traveling with their lights switched off. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use but are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified. Most, but not all, of the drones spotted in New Jersey were larger than those typically used by hobbyists. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey said he was frustrated by the lack of transparency, saying it could help spread fear or misinformation. “We should know what’s going on over our skies,” he said Thursday. Fantasia, a Morris County Republican, was among several lawmakers who met with state police and Homeland Security officials to discuss the sightings from the New York City area across New Jersey and westward into parts of Pennsylvania, including over Philadelphia. It is unknown at this time whether the sightings are related. Two Republican Jersey Shore-area congressmen, U.S. Reps. Chris Smith and Jeff Van Drew, say the military should shoot down the drones. Smith said a U.S. Coast Guard commanding officer briefed him on an incident over the weekend in which a dozen drones followed a motorized Coast Guard lifeboat “in close pursuit” near Barnegat Light and Island Beach State Park in Ocean County. Coast Guard Lt. Luke Pinneo on Wednesday told The Associated Press “that multiple low-altitude aircraft were observed in the vicinity of one of our vessels near Island Beach State Park.”AP Sports SummaryBrief at 6:35 p.m. EST

SOURCE WunderdogsPublished 3:32 pm Wednesday, November 27, 2024 By Minnesota Public Radio By Dana Ferguson, Minnesota Public Radio News A case challenging how the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management handled social equity license applications moves next to the state Court of Appeals. The court on Wednesday directed the state regulatory agency to supply more information on the process it used to decide who moved forward. The judicial process will dictate whether a lottery can be rescheduled to determine who is preapproved to run cannabis businesses once the legal market launches and how that might occur. A district court judge halted the lottery indefinitely after applicants who were denied sued. Ramsey County District Court Judge Stephen Smith didn’t rule on the merits of the case, pushing that matter to a higher court. One of those applicants, Cristina Aranguiz, filed paperwork Tuesday with the Court of Appeals over her application denial from the Office of Cannabis Management. The social equity lottery was intended to give a leg up to people who live in high poverty areas, those harmed by the war on drugs, and military veterans. Aranguiz is a first-generation Latina entrepreneur and she said she met the criteria the state laid out. But the office “violated the legislature’s cannabis statutes, was arbitrary and capricious, and constituted an abuse of discretion” in its decision to deny her, Aranguiz’s lawyers wrote in their statement of the case to the court. More than 1,500 people applied for a social equity cannabis license, the agency said. And a lottery scheduled for Tuesday was to narrow that down to 282. But on Monday, Ramsey County District Court Judge Stephen Smith sided with a group of applicants — including Aranguiz — who had been denied access to the social equity pre-approval lottery. They sued over a process they argued had lacked clear criteria and that left no room for appeals. The Office of Cannabis Management had defended its process, saying it attempted to root out applicants who were looking for a quick profit instead of actually moving to set up legitimate businesses. Officials argued that Aranguiz and others had connections to larger businesses that had the option to buy the social equity licenses later on, bypassing the licensing system to gain a market advantage in Minnesota. Several applicants, including Aranguiz, said the description mischaracterized the agreements with other businesses in the cannabis marketplace. In a written statement after the ruling, the office said the regulatory agency remained “committed to launching an equitable, sustainable and responsible adult-use cannabis marketplace.” State lawmakers legalized cannabis for adult recreational use in 2023 but the setup of a retail marketplace has been slow. No licenses have been issued for commercial growers or sellers ahead of what is expected to be an early 2025 launch. People can grow their own marijuana and give away small quantities. American Indian tribes have also opened their own stores but those sales are limited to reservation land.

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Chucky Hepburn had 16 points, 10 assists and seven steals, Noah Waterman also had 16 points and Louisville beat No. 14 Indiana 89-61 on Wednesday in the opening game of the Battle 4 Atlantis. Louisville (4-1) beat a ranked team for the first time since topping Virginia Tech 73-71 on Jan. 6, 2021. Kasean Pryor scored 10 of his 14 points in the second half and Reyne Smith added 12 points for Louisville. Malik Reneau scored 21 points and Oumar Ballo added 11 for Indiana (4-1). Reneau reached 20-plus points for the eighth time in his career. The Cardinals led 37-29 at the break after making 7 of 17 from 3-point range and shooting 57% overall. Indiana missed six straight shots on two occasions in the first half, sandwiched around a string of seven missed field goals, as the Cardinals shot 9 of 29 (31%).

Canada's Trudeau says he had an 'excellent conversation' with Trump in Florida after tariffs threat(Updated at 10:38 a.m. ET/ 1538 GMT) By Ragini Mathur and Nikhil Sharma Dec 12 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index dropped to a more-than-two-week low on Thursday, dragged by commodity stocks, as investors grew nervous about the domestic economic growth amid looming tariff threats by Donald Trump. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was down 209.55 points, or 0.82%, at 25,448.45, and was trading at its lowest since Oct. 31. At least nine sectors on the index nursed losses, led by the commodity-focussed sectors, with materials falling 2.1%, tracking gold and copper prices. The heavyweight energy also declined 2% as oil prices decreased following forecasts of ample supply, which offset the optimism around a potential U.S. interest rate cut. The Canadian central bank slashed its key policy rate by 50 basis points on Wednesday to help boost the country's slower growth. "This is the fifth consecutive rate cut and another super-sized cut as well" and "signals a weaker-than-expected economy in Canada," said Shiraz Ahmed, senior portfolio manager and founder of Sartorial Wealth at Raymond James. "Adding to this are the ongoing tariff discussions," Ahmed continued, which he said are among the factors that are "creating a sense of unease in the markets". Trump's tariff threats have raised fears of a trade war between the U.S. and Canada, with the majority of Canadian oil exports sent across the border. Among individual stocks, Empire Company jumped 7.6% to scale to an all-time high after the food and retail distribution company surpassed estimates for second-quarter profit. Imperial Oil fell 4.8% following its forecast of higher crude production in 2025, as the Canadian energy major expects to ramp up output from existing oil sands assets. Stateside, producer prices rose more than anticipated in November, while weekly jobless claims unexpectedly rose last week. (Reporting by Ragini Mathur; Editing by Vijay Kishore)
