lodibet 678 Charlamagne Says 'Old Ass' Biden Shouldn't Give 'Preemptive Pardons' To Trump Rivals: 'Don't That Make You Look Guilty?'Nearly half of US teens are online 'constantly,' Pew report findsBIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Aston Villa says it has failed in an attempt to have Jhon Duran’s red card at Newcastle overturned on appeal. The 21-year-old Colombia international was sent off 32 minutes into a 3-0 defeat in the Premier League at St. James’ Park on Thursday after appearing to stamp on defender Fabian Schar, prompting a furious reaction from Villa head coach Unai Emery, who later indicated that the club would appeal. However, Villa said Friday night that its bid was unsuccessful and the forward will now serve a three-match ban for violent conduct. “Aston Villa can confirm that our decision to appeal Jhon Duran’s red card in our match with Newcastle United has been rejected,” a statement on Villa’s official X account read. “The player will now miss our next three matches.” Duran will miss Premier League games against Brighton and Leicester, followed by Villa’s FA Cup third-round match with West Ham on Jan. 10. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

Prime Minister Trudeau says he had an ‘excellent conversation’ with Trump in Florida after tariffs threatNigerian singer, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known as Skales has claimed that his colleague and former record label mate, Wizkid, never liked him. Speaking in a recent episode of the ‘Listen’ podcast, Skales recounted his social media fallout with Wizkid years ago. According to him, since then he has always felt repelling energy from the ‘Starboy.’ He said, “I have always felt that Wizkid didn’t like me. I don’t know why but there were occasions where he showed his dislike for me. “If you go back and check our social media fallout, I think I was doing a ‘question-and-answer’ session on Twitter and somebody said, ‘What’s up with your guy Wiz?’ And jokingly, I said, ‘My brother Wiz does not have my time anymore.’ “From there, Wizkid started insulting me, my father and my mother. That’s to show you that he probably had me in mind. He said I wear fake jewellery. That time, I wasn’t the one replying, it was my ex-girlfriend. “I pick my battles. When I know that people will believe anything you say, I don’t need to fight you. Because whatever I say, they are going to say I am jealous. They are going to say I am envious of Wizkid’s success. “And that was the story that was going around. I sat down recently and said, ‘This guy (Wizkid) really doesn’t like me.’ I have tried to make peace with him but he was adamant. He didn’t like me, I can tell you for a fact.”

This year, Kim Stark’s kids took responsibility for decorating the family Christmas tree. Ornaments include toy cars, puzzle pieces, string and a pair of binoculars — things her three young daughters had handy after the family lost their home in summer’s devastating Jasper wildfire. “I have the most wonderful tree on the planet,” said Stark. “It’s part of our story and part of who we are. “If (the kids) are happy, I’m happy.” Stark is part of the fabric of the Jasper townsite, a 10-year member of the fire department and owner of a coffee shop and bakery. Her family, plus three furry pets and a fish, are living in a condo as they navigate rebuilding their home. “(The kids) miss our house, and we talk about our house,” said Stark. “We make sure we go to our neighbourhood, so that it doesn’t become somebody else’s neighbourhood.” Stark and other residents are anxious and nervous for the future following the fire that hit the town July 24. About 5,000 residents and 20,000 visitors were safely evacuated before the fire breached the western edge of town and destroyed 350 homes and businesses, including 820 housings units. The Insurance Bureau of Canada pegged the damage at $880 million. Six months after the fire, debris is still being cleared — lot by lot. Locals including Stark are quick to say things could have been worse. But anxiety over temporary living situations and what may be a long and slow rebuild process has many residents and municipal leaders feeling unsettled heading into 2025. For Sabrina Charlebois and David Leoni, the top concern is the Alberta government’s $112-million modular housing project. It’s to put up 250 pre-built rental units in the town and rent them to those displaced by the fire. Social Services Minister Jason Nixon said the first homes should be ready by late January or early February, with the rest in April. The majority are to be multi-bedroom suites to accommodate families. “If we can get all of our approvals on time, we definitely are on time to be able to build in the context of what we promised,” Nixon said. It’s complicated, he added, given there are layers of government with an Alberta town in a national park. Charlebois was born and raised in Jasper. The fire destroyed her childhood home, which her late father built, as well as the salon where she worked. “It’s better than nothing,” she said of the housing project, noting at least 2,000 residents were displaced so demand could outnumber the new units. Charlebois, who has been staying in a hotel, said it’s understandable projects like this take time. But “we’re six months into this, and there’s no homes for anyone.” “My fear is not finding a place to live, because I have to be out of my hotel by the spring,” she said. Leoni, a dentist and former Olympic biathlete, and his family also lost their home, as did seven staff at his clinic. He said the April cutoff date Charlebois is facing also applies to his staff staying in hotels. “Hopefully that’s concurrent with the provincial government’s opening of these modular units that they’re putting in, because we’re going to lose staff,” said Leoni. “Without them I can’t do anything.” The clinic needed to replace $160,000 worth of equipment and required a top-to-bottom scrub before appointments resumed in October. Leoni estimates his patient list is down one-third because of the fire. Whether those patients return remains to be seen. Charlebois and Leoni both said their anxiety is heightened when they consider the unpredictable nature of the town’s tourism economy and how it could complicate the pace of rebuilding. It’s a catch-22: residents need houses in order to rebuild and restart the economy, but they can’t restart the economy without tourists. And tourists require services, which require workers, who require housing. Bill Given, the town’s chief administrator, said he’s optimistic the municipality can “thread the needle.” But he has his own anxieties when it comes to rebuilding, namely the complexity of Jasper operating under both federal and provincial oversight. “An associated risk of that is that individual agendas from different orders of government overtake the public interest in delivering on what Jasper needs,” Given said. “I think there’s also a risk, maybe somewhat smaller, that private interests overtake the broader public interest.” Jasper Mayor Richard Ireland, who lost his home in the fire, said they have to find a way. “Failure is not an option for anybody,” said Ireland. “We have one chance to get this right, and that’s what we have to do.” In the meantime, Stark and her daughters watch from behind a fence as what’s left of their home is cleared away. “I’m super excited just to have a hole instead of a burnt spiral staircase that was coming up in my backyard. “Now,” she said, “it’s just this beautiful dirt. “There’s future there.”Kunlavut Vitidsarn will battle Jonatan Christie in the final Group B match on Friday with a place in the men's singles semi-finals of the season-ending BWF World Tour Finals in Hangzhou, China, at stake.

For the first time since October 6th, the headlines will read “Cowboys win.” In one of the craziest games you will ever see, Dallas pulled off a 34-26 upset over the Washington Commanders. With this wild win, the Cowboys have snapped a 5-game losing streak. That was seriously the weirdest NFL game I have seen. From the start to the finish, that was truly insane. We saw a slew of bizarre plays, turnovers, blocked kicks, a seemingly game-icing kickoff return touchdown, before a miracle touchdown and a missed extra point. At times, it felt like both teams were competing to lose this one, but you can’t knock Dallas ‘ effort today. They played incredibly hard, especially on the defensive side. Mike Zimmer’s guys stood out today, and they needed to. There were no excuses this time around . This game was a circus. I have no idea what we just witnessed, but let’s dive into it. How Did That Happen? If you’re trying to piece together exactly how that Cowboys win happened, you have to start with the incredibly sloppy play by Washington. The Commanders’ offense, until the final three minutes, was brutal today; they turned it over, missed opportunities, and overall looked like a lackluster unit. For a team that has been nothing but fireworks on that side of the ball, this was a dud for 98% of the game. Washington turned it over twice, including a Jayden Daniels’ bizarre interception by Defensive End, Chauncey Golston. Chauncey Golston makes play on the ball for the INT : #DALvsWAS on FOX : https://t.co/waVpO909ge pic.twitter.com/wCl0Uzlk0X In addition to the offensive performance, what ultimately killed them was one of the worst, most sloppy, special teams performances I’ve ever seen. Kicker Austin Seibert, who was returning from injury, missed two extra points and a 51-yard field goal early in the first quarter. One of those extra points, of course, came after an absolute miracle touchdown from Daniels to Terry McLaurin. On one play, in 12 seconds, the Commanders’ offense scored an 86-yard touchdown. The Dallas defense’s mistakes on this play will be overlooked by the mayhem of the moment, but boy, did they screw that up. JAYDEN DANIELS TO TERRY MCLAURIN NO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! 86 YARDS! pic.twitter.com/T3ITuxRk0c It wasn’t just in the field goal-kicking game, however. The Commanders made the bizarre decision to kick off to KaVontae Turpin late in the game, when they could instead have just kicked it out of the back end zone. This resulted in Turpin pulling off one of the best returns I’ve ever seen, and for just a moment, it seemed like that was going to be the game-winner. It’s important that we not just shine a light on Washington’s flubs, though; this victory was also the result of some impressive play from Dallas. Despite their mistakes at the end, the Cowboys defense stood tall, and the offense, occasionally, came up with some nice plays. This is a major morale boost for Dallas, as this game was not even expected to be close, but what does it mean in the big picture? The Bottom Line Heading into this game, it looked entirely possible for the Cowboys to lose out this season, and finish the year 3-14. Now, they have secured a win on the road as a huge underdog, and will now face the lowly Giants at home on Thanksgiving. Some will argue, including myself, that Dallas was better off losing this game as they are still far from the playoff picture. Cooper Rush, despite an improvement in performance today, is still clearly not built for a playoff push. At 4-7, this season is still likely all but over for Dallas. Cooper Rush HAS to start pushing the ball down the field. Teams are daring him to and he isn't making them pay. That said, could this win propel them, especially on the defensive side, to continue making good teams sweat? Most definitely. If they start playing with the chip on their shoulder that we saw today, they could become much more competitive. So, Cowboys fans , if you were rooting for a win today, enjoy it, it was crazy. If you were hoping for a continuation of the top-5 draft pick prophecy, don’t sweat it too much. The overall outlook for Dallas is still bleak, but man, this was a sight to see in Washington D.C. in Week 12. This article first appeared on Inside The Star and was syndicated with permission.

CP NewsAlert: Trump calls Florida meeting with Trudeau productive

A scruffy little fugitive is on the lam again in New Orleans , gaining fame as he outwits a tenacious band of citizens armed with night-vision binoculars, nets and a tranquilizer rifle. Scrim, a 17-pound mutt that's mostly terrier, has become a folk hero, inspiring tattoos, t-shirts and even a ballad as he eludes capture from the posse of volunteers. And like any antihero, Scrim has a backstory: Rescued from semi-feral life at a trailer park and adopted from a shelter, the dog broke loose in April and scurried around the city until he was cornered in October and brought to a new home. Weeks later, he'd had enough. Scrim leaped out of a second-story window, a desperate act recorded in a now-viral video. Since then, despite a stream of daily sightings, he's roamed free. The dog’s fans include Myra and Steve Foster, who wrote “Ode to Scrim” to the tune of Ricky Nelson’s 1961 hit, “I’m a Travelin’ Man.” “I'm a travelin' dog and I've made a lot of stops/All over this town...” Leading the recapture effort is Michelle Cheramie, a 55-year-old former information technology professional. She lost everything — home, car, possessions — in Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and in the aftermath, found her calling rescuing pets. “I was like, ‘This is what I should be doing,’” Cheramie said. “I was born to rescue.” She launched Zeus’ Rescues, a nonprofit shelter that now averages 600 cat and dog adoptions a year and offers free pet food to anyone who needs it. She helped Scrim find the home he first escaped from. It was Cheramie's window Scrim leaped from in November. She's resumed her relentless mission since then, posting flyers on telephone poles and logging social media updates on his reported whereabouts. She's invested thousands of dollars on wildlife cameras, thermal sensors and other gear. She took a course offered by the San Diego Zoo on the finer points of tranquilizing animals. And she's developed a network of volunteers — the kind of neighbors who are willing to grid-search a city at 3 a.m. “...And at every stop I own the heart, of at least one lovely ... " People like writer David W. Brown, who manages a crowd-sourced Google Map of all known Scrim sightings. He says the search has galvanized residents from all walks of life to come together. As they search for Scrim, they hand out supplies to people in need. "Being a member of the community is seeing problems and doing what you can to make life a little better for the people around here and the animals around you," Brown said. And neighbors like Tammy Murray, who had to close her furniture store and lost her father to Parkinson's Disease. This search, she says, got her mojo back. “Literally, for months, I’ve done nothing but hunt this dog,” said Murray, 53. “I feel like Wile E. Coyote on a daily basis with him.” Murray drives the Zeus ' Rescues' van towards reported Scrim sightings. She also handles a tactical net launcher, which looks like an oversized flashlight and once misfired, shattering the van's window as Scrim sped away. After realizing Scrim had come to recognize the sound of the van's diesel engine, Murray switched to a Vespa scooter, for stealth. “...If you're ever in the 9th Ward stop and see/My cute little mini poodle ...” Near-misses have been tantalizing. The search party spotted Scrim napping beneath an elevated house, and wrapped construction netting around the perimeter, but an over-eager volunteer broke ranks and dashed forward, leaving an opening Scrim slipped through. Scrim's repeated escapades have prompted near-daily local media coverage and a devoted online following. Cheramie can relate. “We’re all running from something or to something. He's doing that too,” she said. Cheramie's team dreams of placing the pooch in a safe and loving environment. But a social media chorus growing under the hashtag #FreeScrim has other ideas — they say the runaway should be allowed a life of self-determination. The animal rescue volunteers consider that misguided. “The streets of New Orleans are not the place for a dog to be free,” Cheramie said. “It’s too dangerous.” "... and my Shar-Pei doll down in old Treme/Waits for my return ..." Scrim was a mess when Cheramie briefly recaptured him in October, with matted fur, missing teeth and a tattered ear. His trembling body was scraped and bruised, and punctured by multiple projectiles. A vet removed one, but decided against operating to take out a possible bullet. The dog initially appeared content indoors, sitting in Cheramie's lap or napping beside her bed. Then while she was out one day, Scrim chewed through a mesh screen, dropped 13 feet to the ground and squeezed through a gap in the fence, trotting away. Murray said Cheramie's four cats probably spooked him. “I wholeheartedly believe the gangster-ass cats were messing with him,” Murray said. Cheramie thinks they may have gotten territorial. Devastated but undeterred, the pair is reassessing where Scrim might fit best — maybe a secure animal sanctuary with big outdoor spaces where other dogs can keep him company. Somewhere, Murray says, “where he can just breathe and be." ___ Brook is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

Earlier this year Albert faced widespread criticism for sharing anti-LGBTQ+ content on social media. and She subsequently apologized for her actions after outside pressure, including that of former USWNT forward Megan Rapinoe. Advertisement The content included a video, publicly shared by the player, of a sermon given in a Christian worship space talking about how being gay and “feeling transgender” is wrong.

GO DEEPER USWNT's Korbin Albert apologizes for social media posts after Megan Rapinoe's criticism “Of course, I understand the booing, and everybody is entitled to their opinions on it,” Hayes said after the 0-0 draw at Wembley Stadium, London, on Saturday evening. “My job is not to weigh in on the debate, my job as a football coach is to produce a football team. And like I always do, I’ve sat down with Korbin, I’ve had several conversations with her to make sure that self-development piece is there. Hayes has said multiple times that Albert has done work following the incidents earlier this year, but the coach and player have not elaborated when asked previously by The Athletic. “No one is going to enjoy (being booed), but you have to appreciate that there is a community that support our team, and everybody wants to feel that we create an environment that is inclusive, respectful, and tolerant, which I do. “But I cannot control what happens outside our environment, and I’m sure when the moment comes and Korbin is asked about it, then it’s for her to address, not for me, but I totally appreciate the fans doing that, and they’re entitled to do that.” It is not the first time Albert has been booed in recent months. During the USWNT’s 4-0 win over South Korea in June , the Paris Saint Germain midfielder was met with boos from the Commerce City crowd as she appeared as a 71st-minute substitute.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Makenzie McGill II ran for 155 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns and North Texas ended a five-game losing streak beating Temple 24-17 on Saturday in a regular-season ender for both teams. The win helped North Texas (6-6, 3-5 American Athletic Conference) reach bowl eligibility. Prior to Saturday, the Mean Green hadn't won since Oct. 12 when they beat Florida Atlantic 41-37. The game's scoring outcome was settled by halftime. Chandler Morris threw a 14-yard touchdown to DT Sheffield on the game's opening drive for a 7-0 UNT lead. Kali Nguma added a 36-yard field 19 seconds later following a Temple turnover. The Owls (3-9, 2-6) got on the board with Maddux Trujillo's 44-yard field goal. McGill made it 17-3 with a 39-yard scoring run. Eight seconds into the second quarter, McGill ran 51 yards to the end zone for a 24-3 edge. Temple got two touchdowns before the half ended when Joquez Smith and Evan Simon each ran it in from the 1 to reduce the deficit to 24-17. North Texas clinched a bowl berth for the 15th time in program history and eighth time since 2013. It's the first time in the Eric Morris era North Texas has qualified for a bowl. Temple hasn't posted a winning season since 2019 when it went 8-5 and ended the season with a 55-13 loss to North Carolina in the Northrop Grumman Military Bowl. The Owls have ended the last four seasons with records of 3-9. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .
