Pope Francis kicks off a yearlong Jubilee that will test his stamina and Rome's patience VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has opened the great Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica. The ceremony kicks off the 2025 Holy Year. It's a celebration of the Catholic Church that is expected to draw some 32 million pilgrims to Rome. And it will test the pope’s stamina and the ability of the Eternal City to welcome them. This begins the Christmas Eve Mass. The ceremony inaugurates the once-every-25-year tradition of a Jubilee. Francis has dedicated the 2025 Jubilee to the theme of hope. Bethlehem marks a second subdued Christmas Eve during the war in Gaza BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) — Bethlehem is marking another somber Christmas Eve under the shadow of war in Gaza. Manger Square lacked its usual festive lights and crowds of tourists on Tuesday. Instead, the area outside the Nativity Church was quiet. The church was built atop the spot where Jesus is believed to have been born. The war, the violence in the occupied West Bank it has spurred and the lack of festivities has deeply hurt Bethlehem's economy. The town relies heavily on Christmas tourism. The economy in the West Bank was already reeling because of restrictions placed on laborers preventing them from entering Israel during the war. Heavy travel day starts with brief grounding of all American Airlines flights WASHINGTON (AP) — American Airlines briefly grounded flights nationwide due to a technical problem just as the Christmas travel season kicked into overdrive and winter weather threatened more potential problems for those planning to fly or drive. Government regulators cleared American flights to get airborne Tuesday about one hour after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a national ground stop, which prevented planes from taking off. American said in an email that the problem was caused by an issue with a vendor technology that maintains its flight operating system. Aviation analytics company Cirium said flights were delayed across American’s major hubs, with only 37% leaving on time. Nineteen flights were cancelled. Middle East latest: Israel expels patients from a hospital in Gaza TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The Palestinian Health Ministry says Israeli soldiers raided a hospital in isolated northern Gaza after forcing all the patients and most of the doctors to leave. The Israeli military confirmed its troops had entered the Indonesian Hospital in the town of Jabaliya on Tuesday, as part of an operation searching for Hamas fighters. Winter is hitting the Gaza Strip and many of the nearly 2 million Palestinians displaced by the devastating 15-month war are struggling to protect themselves from the wind, cold and rain. In the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian city of Bethlehem was marking a somber Christmas Eve under the shadow of war in Gaza, with most festivities cancelled and crowds of tourists absent. Caitlin Clark honored as AP Female Athlete of the Year following her impact on women's sports Caitlin Clark has been named the AP Female Athlete of the Year after raising the profile of women’s basketball to unprecedented levels in both college and the WNBA. She led Iowa to the national championship game, was the top pick in the WNBA draft and captured rookie of the year honors in the league. Fans packed sold-out arenas and millions of television viewers followed her journey on and off the court. Clark's exploits also put other women's sports leagues in the spotlight. A group of 74 sports journalists from AP and its members voted on the award. Other athletes who received votes included Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and boxer Imane Khelif. Clark’s only the fourth women’s basketball player to win the award since it was first given in 1931. Major storm pounds California's central coast, blamed for man's death and partially collapsing pier SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — A major storm has pounded California’s central coast bringing flooding and high surf that was blamed for fatally trapping a man beneath debris on a beach and later partially collapsing a pier, tossing three people into the Pacific Ocean. The storm was expected to bring hurricane-force winds and waves up to 60 feet Monday as it gained strength from California to the Pacific Northwest. Some California cities have ordered beachfront homes and hotels to evacuate early Monday afternoon. Forecasters have warned that storm swells would continue to increase throughout the day. Medellin Cartel victims demand truth and justice as cartel boss Fabio Ochoa walks free in Colombia BOGOTÁ, Colombia (AP) — The return of the notorious drug trafficker Fabio Ochoa to Colombia, following his deportation from the United States, has reopened old wounds among the victims of the Medellin cartel, with some expressing their dismay at the decision of Colombian authorities to let the former mafia boss walk free.Some of the cartel victims said on Tuesday that they are hoping the former drug lord will at least cooperate with ongoing efforts by human rights groups to investigate one of the most violent periods of Colombia’s history, and demanded that Colombian prosecutors also take Ochoa in for questioning. Man arraigned on murder charges in NYC subway death fanned flames with a shirt, prosecutors say NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors say a man accused of burning a woman to death inside a New York City subway train used a shirt to fan the flames, causing her to become engulfed. The suspect, identified by police as Sebastian Zapeta, was arraigned in Brooklyn criminal court on Tuesday. He faces murder charges that could put him in prison for life. Federal immigration officials say 33-year-old Zapeta is a Guatemalan citizen who entered the U.S. illegally after being deported in 2018. The apparently random attack occurred Sunday morning on a stationary F train at the Coney Island station in Brooklyn. Amsterdam court sentences 5 men over violence linked to Ajax-Maccabi soccer game THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — An Amsterdam District Court has issued sentences of up to six months in jail against 5 men who were involved in violent disorder after a soccer match between the Dutch club Ajax and Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv in November. The riots caused an international outcry and accusations of deliberate anti-Semitic attacks. The violence following a UEFA Europa League match left 5 people in hospital. More than 60 suspects were detained. The court on Tuesday sentenced one man to 6 months in prison, another to 2 1/2 months, two to 1 month and one to 100 hours of community service.

Sam Hicks, defense lead Abilene Christian over Northern Arizona 24-0 to extend 1st trip to playoffsAs global markets wind down for the Christmas break, U.S. stock indices have shown promising movement. The Nasdaq led a half-day rally on Christmas Eve, approaching its record highs, while the S&P 500 pushed past the 6,000 mark. However, not all stocks have kept pace with this festive momentum. Among key players, Nvidia presented a buying opportunity as it crossed crucial levels, despite retreating from intra-day peaks. Other AI chip titans like Broadcom and Astera Labs saw continued upward trends. Meanwhile, Tesla maintained its strong performance from earlier in the week, bouncing back further after a minor dip. The hotel industry also saw movement, with China’s Atour Lifestyle Holdings nearing a potential buy point. Nvidia remains a highlight on various expert lists, including the IBD Leaderboard and SwingTrader, showcasing ongoing interest in tech and AI sectors. Globally, major markets will pause on Wednesday due to the Christmas holiday. Despite slight after-hours declines in Dow Jones futures and minimal changes in S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures, this doesn’t necessarily predict action when trading resumes. In broader market news, the dawn of the “Santa Claus rally” has spurred optimism. Notable gains were seen across major indices and ETFs, including strong performances by small-cap, tech-software, and semiconductor sectors. For those looking to invest, it’s crucial to track leading stocks and sectors, as well as emerging areas of growth and opportunity. The market remains selective, calling for strategic picks among potential gainers in AI, travel, and finance sectors. Wall Street’s Holiday Cheer: Emerging Trends and Insights for Savvy Investors As markets enter the festive season, recent activities in U.S. stock indices suggest favorable conditions for strategic investors. The impressive surge in the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 has brought optimism, with the Nasdaq nearing its highest records and the S&P 500 surpassing notable thresholds. Yet, not every stock has shared this prosperity, making discerning investment choices crucial. Innovative Prospects in the Tech Sector The technology sector, specifically areas like artificial intelligence and semiconductors, is gaining considerable traction. Nvidia , known for its leadership in AI chips, offers promising buy opportunities as it hits strategic levels, notwithstanding brief intra-day pullbacks. Other key players such as Broadcom and Astera Labs are experiencing sustained upward trajectories, reflecting broader industry positivity. Tesla’s robust performance adds to the optimistic outlook, particularly following a rebound from minor slumps earlier in the week. This highlights the electric vehicle industry’s resilience and its potential as a strategic investment area. Market Trends: The Santa Claus Rally Effect The “Santa Claus rally,” a phenomenon where stock prices often rise in the last week of December, has invigorated market sentiment. This seasonal increase in trading activities and stock prices is particularly evident in small-cap, tech-software, and semiconductor sectors. Investors are advised to monitor these areas closely as they continue to demonstrate substantial gains. Emerging Opportunities in Global Markets Investment opportunities also expand beyond the technology sphere. The hotel sector is showing promise, with companies like China’s Atour Lifestyle Holdings potentially offering attractive purchase points. This underscores growth potential in the travel and hospitality industries as global travel scales back up. Strategic Insights for Investors For those intrigued by the evolving market landscape, it’s essential to refine focus towards sectors forecasted for growth. The AI chip market, driven by firms like Nvidia and Broadcom, alongside emerging players, can be particularly rewarding. Additionally, the near-future trends in travel, hospitality, and finance sectors offer strategic investment avenues. In conclusion, while holiday-induced pauses are expected, the new year beckons with prospects for gains. Staying informed about trending sectors and poised industries will be crucial for capitalizing on market volatility and sustained upward trends.

Chicago hosts Columbus after Donato's 2-goal performance
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was limited with the right shoulder injury that sidelined him last week and there is growing concern about the long-term status of left tackle Trent Williams. Wednesday's practice was not the start to the NFL workweek head coach Kyle Shanahan had hoped after Purdy was unable to bounce back from a shoulder injury in Week 11. Brandon Allen started at Green Bay and the 49ers (5-6) lost 38-10 with the backup-turned-starter committing three turnovers. Williams was reportedly spotted in the locker room with a knee scooter and is experiencing pain walking. He played through an ankle injury against the Seattle Seahawks Nov. 17. Defensive end Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) also missed practice Wednesday, leaving the 49ers to spend the holiday plotting to play the Buffalo Bills (9-2) without the three Pro Bowlers again. "I don't know anyone who gets Thanksgiving off unless maybe you have a Monday night game. You just start a lot earlier and get the players out," Shanahan said. "We cram everything in so the players get out, tries to be home with the family by 5. I usually get home by 7 and they're all mad at me, then get back to red-zone (installation)." The 49ers are in danger of a three-game losing streak for the first time since Oct. 2021. Injuries have been a common thread since September when running back Christian McCaffrey was a surprise scratch with an Achilles injury for the opener. Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) is out for the season at a position dinged from top to bottom. Star linebacker Fred Warner also is ailing and said Wednesday that he fractured a bone in his ankle on Sept. 29 against the New England Patriots. The game against the Bills will mark his eighth straight game playing with the injury. "It's something I deal with every game," Warner said. "I get on that table before every game and get it shot up every single game just to be able to roll. But it's not an excuse. It's just what it is. That's the NFL. You're not going to be healthy. You've got to go out there, you've got to find ways to execute, to play at a high level and to win every single week." Shanahan wasn't interested in injury talk. He said the 49ers have not played well in the past two weeks, and puts part of his focus on getting more out of the running game with snow in the forecast on Sunday night. He's not in agreement with pundits who doubt McCaffrey's ability early into his return from injured reserve, with a per-carry average of 3.5 yards compared to 5.4 in 2023. "The speculation on Christian is a little unfair to him," Shanahan said. "Christian is playing very well. He's playing his ass off. To think a guy who misses the entire offseason is going to come back and be the exact same the day he comes back would be unfair to any player in the world." San Francisco opened the 21-day practice window for linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who tore his Achilles in the Super Bowl in February. His return date is unclear. --Field Level MediaKnight stops 20 shots, Florida rolls past Carolina 6-0 for 2nd win over 'Canes in as many days
This Timberwolves roster is different than the one from a year ago. That much is obvious in games, as Karl-Anthony Towns’ consistent scoring and general size is missed, as is the playmaking and ball security of guys like Kyle Anderson and Jordan McLaughlin. ADVERTISEMENT But their absences have been felt in the locker room, as well. Towns was a consistent source of positivity for the team. Anderson was one of the loudest vocal leaders. The latter can be especially difficult to replace, especially because it can be uncomfortable to speak up when things are going poorly and something needs to change. That was the position Anthony Edwards has found himself in early this season. Edwards has been praised for his leadership through his first four years on Minnesota’s roster. Mostly, that all came via positivity and example. Edwards can be coached hard, which gave the greenlight for the coaches to treat everyone else the same way. Edwards was also quick to credit his teammates around him for their contributions to the cause, and was eager and willing to spend time with and talk to anyone on the roster, players No. 1-15. He’ll also stand up for any of his teammates if the occasion ever arises. That’s why he has been so beloved in the locker room and why he was viewed as such a leader, even at his young age. ADVERTISEMENT But with Anderson’s departure, Edwards was now tasked with leading even through choppy waters. And the waves have been rather large through the first quarter of the season. Minnesota’s defense has fallen off a cliff in comparison to where it was a year ago. After never even as many as three consecutive games during the 2023-24 regular season, the Wolves endured a four-game losing skid earlier this week. At that point, words were exchanged, both publicly and privately. A halftime hash out during Minnesota’s loss Wednesday to Sacramento got the conversation rolling. Mike Conley got the dialogue started, but all indications are that Edwards was a healthy participant. Edwards noted it’s difficult to know what to say in those times. “Because you look at everybody, and everybody got a different agenda. It’s like, ‘What the (heck) am I supposed to say?’ You know what I mean?” Edwards said. “I’m trying to get better in that aspect, figure out what the hell to say to get everybody on the same agenda, because everybody right now is on different agendas. I think that’s one of the main culprits of why we’re losing, because everybody out there got their own agenda. I guess their imagination of what’s supposed to be going on, and what’s really happening.” Nickeil Alexander-Walker told reporters at Friday’s shootaround that this is the most vocal Edwards has ever been. And while the intention of everyone’s messages are pure, “sometimes it’s not always worded the right way.” ADVERTISEMENT “I think we’ve crossed that line of, ‘Man, I feel like you’re not hearing the message.’ It’s tough to be called out, because you start to feel like, ‘OK, are you saying I’m the reason?’ No one wants to be at fault,” Alexander-Walker said. “But at the end of the day, I definitely think that guys are open to hearing it better. And I think it just came from a stand point of, at a point and time in the conversation, there was a comeback. It was going back and forth now, as opposed to receiving it (and saying), ‘OK, I got you.’ That’s how it’s going to be. It’s very rare that someone is just going to be able to be called out and not have anything to say. “It’s human nature to be defensive, at the end of the day. But kind of remembering what we’re here for, and if I’m being called out, chances are I’ve got to look in the mirror and be better.” It’s a delicate dance. There has to be an environment rooted in accountability, but you also have to be sure not to lose teammates, as Jimmy Butler was criticized for doing during his short stint in Minnesota a few years ago. ADVERTISEMENT And while it’s never ideal for a team to be living through a stretch of basketball the quality of which falls significantly short of the expectation, these stretches will likely lead to growth for Edwards, if not on the court, then in the locker room. You can’t steer a ship to a title if you don’t know how to navigate turbulent tides. Day by day, loss by loss, Edwards is learning how to spin the wheel. ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.

(NASDAQ:ACLX)Severe weather and airport delays disrupt Christmas travel across the US: New updates for you to knowWOLCOTT – Call it the ultimate place to buy a gift for the person who seemingly has everything. If you can foot the $2,500 to $40,000 price and are willing to stick out the one- to three-year waiting list, you can buy a custom sword from Dragon’s Breath Forge at 10 Swiss Lane. Or, if you’re looking for something a little more modest and utilitarian, there are the custom knives that are on sale for less, but can be used in the kitchen and are so well made, they’ll likely outlive you. If you’re really into the experience, you can even take a weekend class and make your own knife. Those classes are limited to six people at a time and are popular, said Matt Parkinson, one of the forge’s three owners. The forge is owned by Parkinson, Matt Berry and Jamie Lundell, all of whom fell in love with the art of making knives and swords at relatively early ages. Berry, for example, found his passion in seventh-grade shop class in Middlefield. Parkinson, now 48, said he’s been making knives since he was 17 years old. The three came together doing a combination of railing work and Renaissance fairs back in 2005. They moved into their 6,000-square-foot shop in Wolcott about 2011 and developed a reputation for high-quality work. Indeed, Parkinson won the first competition of the History Channel’s “Forged in Fire,” and Berry has appeared on the show twice and won once. And while they all went through their token Tolkien phases, they don’t typically make swords from television shows, films or video games. There’s a copyright issue to contend with, but also those swords are props. The swords the trio make require “a lot of research, a lot of understanding of physics of swords,” Parkinson said. “Our swords aren’t just shaped objects. They’re swords.” “Matt, Jamie and I have also studied originals,” Berry said. “We’ve handled original swords from the eighth-century on. And we know what they feel like when we understand the harmonics, the flex, the thicknesses, the waves, the balance, how they rotate in the hands. ... The originals, you make like racing cars. They need to be as light as possible, as fast as possible. They have to be strong enough. They have to be functional. Because sword fighting, the first to get there, it wins. So if your sword’s a little slower, you don’t make the parry...” Parkinson and Berry said people order from all over the world – including China and Australia – artwork and re-enactments. “I would say it’s a subsegment of the art market now,” Berry said. “We’re still trying to make them like the originals.” Parkinson said his clients have moved away from “the fantasy stuff.” “I’m making a lot of high-end culinary knives now,” he said, showing a book of his work, which includes a knife with the Hanalei, Hawaii, carved into it. Plus, Parkinson said the process of making swords “hurts more.” A knife can be forged in 20 minutes, a sword can take a couple of hours just to forge, and requires far more physical work, Berry and Parkinson said. As the two talked, Lundell gave a demonstration to several onlookers on how a knife is forged. Lundell, the youngest of the three, mostly makes swords and got his start in the early 2000s while in college in Boston. “I took a class up in fine metal working in Boston at the Museum School of Fine Arts,” he said. “And I just fell in love with metal at that point. ... And then I found Peter Burke, who was a bladesmith right near here. And I started working with him over my breaks from school. And then I learned that I could make swords and knives. And I was like, this is what I’m going to do for the rest of my life.” Lundell said he has a waiting list out to at least 2026 for his swords, but people can take classes at Dragon’s Breath to learn how to forge their own wares. “The classes are great,” he said. “People just really enjoy that experience, you know, it’s a one day class, you know, and, you know, in one day we make a knife. And so you have the experience of coming here, forging, kind of feeling what it’s like and having the experience of what a blacksmith kind of actually does. “And then also in the end, you know, you have this thing that you make.” For information on Dragon’s Breath Forge, visit dragonsbreathforge.com.
