ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Stacey Allaster , the U.S. Open's first female tournament director, will step down from that post after the 2025 edition of the Grand Slam event and shift from her job as the U.S. Tennis Association's chief executive of professional tennis to an advisory role with the organization. The USTA announced Allaster's job changes Wednesday and said she will help pick her successor as tournament director after the U.S. Open ends next September. Allaster became the U.S. Open tournament director in 2020, the first woman to hold that position in the history of a tournament first held in 1881. She has worked at the USTA since 2016 and before that was the chairman and CEO of the WTA women's professional tennis tour. “It's hard to put into words the impact Stacey has made on our sport,” seven-time Grand Slam singles champion Venus Williams posted on social media. “She’s been a true champion for the game, and has paved the way for more women in leadership. We’re all inspired by you and grateful to call you a friend. Excited to see you continue striving forward. Congratulations Stacey.” USTA CEO and executive director Lew Sherr called Allaster “a tireless advocate for gender equality, leaving a legacy that will continue to inspire future generations in our sport.” ___ AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/tennis The Associated Press

French stocks reached their lowest point in over three months on Wednesday as investor confidence wavered due to the government's struggle to pass its budget. Simultaneously, ongoing fears over potential U.S. tariffs kept European automobile stocks under pressure, with the pan-European STOXX 600 closing 0.2% lower. This slide in French equities saw the main stock index drop over 1% during the trading session to its lowest since August, eventually closing 0.7% down. The technology sector was a significant detractor, with French companies leading the losses on the STOXX 600. Additionally, French bonds suffered, elevating the government's long-term borrowing costs to peaks not seen since 2012. The market sentiment was further dampened by concerns of possible government collapse following calls from far-right leader Marine Le Pen, threatening stability with planned budget cuts and tax hikes.

Political interest vs. interest ratesWhen the New England Patriots released wide receiver K.J. Osborn, the Pittsburgh Steelers seemed like a potential fit. Coming off the heels of George Pickens' hamstring injury, Osborn was a big-bodied wide receiver who could play outside and potentially a void. However, the Washington Commanders put in a claim for Osborn and he will head to Washington instead. Pittsburgh is after Washington on the waiver wire, so it is unknown if they put in a waiver claim for Osborn. Osborn played in just seven games, posting seven receptions for 57 yards over those games, and after being inactive for the latter half of the season, the Patriots moved on so Osborn could latch on with a contender, which he did in Washington. The Commanders lost wide receiver Noah Brown to knee and rib injuries, and he should be out longer-term. That could even be for the rest of the season, so Osborn can help replace what Brown brought to the table. In 2023, Osborn was one of the more underrated wide receivers in football. He had 50 catches for 655 yards and seven touchdowns. Before this season, Osborn had three straight seasons with 500 or more receiving yards as a big-bodied player who would win over the middle of the field.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York state government agencies will have to conduct reviews and publish reports that detail how they're using artificial intelligence software, under a new law signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul. Hochul, a Democrat, signed the bill last week after it was passed by state lawmakers earlier this year. The law requires state agencies to perform assessments of any software that uses algorithms, computational models or AI techniques, and then submit those reviews to the governor and top legislative leaders along with posting them online. It also bars the use of AI in certain situations, such as an automated decision on whether someone receives unemployment benefits or child care assistance, unless the system is being consistently monitored by a human. State workers would also be shielded from having their hours or job duties limited because of AI under the law. State Sen. Kristen Gonzalez, a Democrat who sponsored the bill, called the law an important step in setting up some guardrails in how the emerging technology is used in state government.

Both Trudeau and former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, who Trudeau has been courting to become Canada’s next finance minister, shared posts on X Thursday, a day after Trump’s latest jab at Canada in his Christmas Day message. It isn’t clear if Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who has repeatedly insisted Trump’s 51st state references are a joke, will raise the issue with Trump’s team when he and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly meet with them in Palm Beach. The two are there to discuss Canada’s new $1.3 billion border plan with just under four weeks left before Trump is sworn in again as president. He has threatened to impose a new 25 per cent import tariff on Canada and Mexico the same day over concerns about a trade imbalance, as well as illegal drugs and migration issues at the borders. The broad strokes of Canada’s plan were made public Dec. 17, including a new aerial intelligence task force to provide round-the-clock surveillance of the border, and improved efforts using technology and canine teams to seek out drugs in shipments leaving Canada LeBlanc’s spokesman, Jean-Sébastien Comeau, said the ministers will also emphasize the negative impacts of Trump’s threatened tariffs on both Canada and the U.S. Comeau said the ministers will build on the discussions that took place last month when Trudeau and LeBlanc met Trump at Mar-a-Lago just days after Trump first made his tariff threat. It was at that dinner on Nov. 29 when Trump first raised the notion of Canada becoming the 51st state, a comment LeBlanc has repeatedly since insisted was just a joke. But Trump has continued the quip repeatedly in various social media posts, including in his Christmas Day message when he said Canadians would pay lower taxes and have better military protection if they became Americans. He has taken to calling Trudeau “governor” instead of prime minister. Trudeau had not directly responded to any of the jabs, but on Thursday posted a link to a six-minute long video on YouTube from 2010 in which American journalist Tom Brokaw “explains Canada to Americans.” The video, which originally aired during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, explains similarities between the two countries, including their founding based on immigration, their trading relationship and the actions of the Canadian Army in World War 2 and other modern conflicts. “In the long history of sovereign neighbours there has never been a relationship as close, productive and peaceful as the U.S. and Canada,” Brokaw says in the video. Trudeau did not expand about why he posted a link to the video, posting it only with the words “some information about Canada for Americans.” Carney, who is at the centre of some of Trudeau’s recent domestic political troubles, also called out Trump’s antics on X Thursday, calling it “casual disrespect” and “carrying the ‘joke’ too far.” “Time to call it out, stand up for Canada, and build a true North American partnership,” said Carney, who Trudeau was courting to join his cabinet before Chrystia Freeland resigned as finance minister last week. Freeland’s sudden departure, three days after Trudeau informed her he would be firing her as finance minister in favour of Carney, left Trudeau’s leadership even more bruised than it already was. Despite the expectation Carney would assume the role, he did not and has not made any statements about it. LeBlanc was sworn in as finance minister instead the same day Freeland quit. More than two dozen Liberal MPs have publicly called on Trudeau to resign as leader, and Trudeau is said to be taking the holidays to think about his next steps. He is currently vacationing in British Columbia. Alessia Passafiume, The Canadian Press

A Manhattan jury failed to reach a verdict on the second-degree manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny, a Marine veteran accused in the death of Jordan Neely. In May 2023, Neely, a homeless man with a mental illness, passed away after Penny choked him on a train in New York City. After deliberating for two and a half days, the jury—which consisted of twelve New Yorkers—notified Judge Maxwell Wiley that they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on the manslaughter accusation. Wiley gave them an Allen charge, which is a common directive that encourages more thought, and pushed them to proceed. The panel remained split in spite of this. Dafna Yoran, the assistant district attorney, asked that the manslaughter allegation be dropped so that the remaining case of negligent homicide may be considered. The move was fiercely challenged and termed 'unprecedented' and 'coercive'. Judge Wiley, however, agreed to the prosecution's motion, citing the complexity of the case as justification for the ruling. What Happened on May 1, 2023? Neely allegedly threatened passengers on a Manhattan F train during the incident. Before the cops came, Penny, a Marine veteran, held him in a chokehold for around six minutes. Later, the hospital declared Neely dead. Penny was later accused with negligent homicide and manslaughter. The case attracted a lot of public attention and caused political divisions. Supporters saw Penny as a hero who took action to defend others, while some detractors called him a vigilante. Jury’s Challenges and the Dismissal Decision The jury went over the bodycam footage and the transcripts of the testimonies several times. Judge Wiley emphasized the intricacy of the case and the legal difference between negligent homicide and manslaughter while highlighting the panel's challenges. Following the impasse, Wiley praised the jurors' diligent work but cautioned that if they couldn't agree, a new jury would be chosen for the retrial. He came to the conclusion that the manslaughter allegation should be dropped in order to streamline the proceedings and guarantee advancement. The dismissal, according to Penny's attorney, created a risky precedent for prosecutors to overcharge cases. Nonetheless, the court insisted that the ruling was reasonable due to the complex facts and legal issues. What Is Negligent Homicide? Negligent homicide is when someone dies as a result of careless or reckless behavior without intending to murder. When a defendant's acts fall short of the expected level of care and have deadly results, the accusation usually applies. Negligent homicide concentrates only on carelessness, as opposed to manslaughter, which suggests some degree of purpose or recklessness. Prosecutors must demonstrate that the accused's careless actions caused the death. Jurors must determine if Penny's actions in this case satisfied this requirement. The defense believes that Penny's lengthy chokehold was a necessary reaction to Neely's perceived danger, while the prosecution claims it was excessive. Next Steps in the Trial The jury now considers the negligent homicide charge after the manslaughter allegation was dismissed. Whether Penny's conduct on the train satisfy the legal requirements for criminal negligence will be the main topic of discussion.

Léon's string of superb saves thwarted PSG’s attacking stars. After a fairly even first 45 minutes, PSG camped in the Auxerre half but could not find a way past León, who made memorable stops from Gonçalo Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Kang-In Lee, Désiré Nonka-Maho and Randal Kolo Muani. Vitinha saw one curling shot come back off the bar. PSG had 25 shots to Auxerre’s six and 15 corners to Auxerre’s three but the home side still could have stolen all three points, as PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma had to make a smart stop from Hamed Traorè. PSG remained eight points clear on top of Ligue 1. Auxerre was eighth. Canadian striker Jonathan David scored two and made another as Lille brushed past Brest 3-1 to extend its unbeaten run to 10 games in Ligue 1. The last time Lille lost to Brest at home was in 1989 and that long run never looked likely to fall as David turned in a man-of-the-match performance at Stade Pierre-Mauroy. He put Lille ahead from the penalty spot after nine minutes and he got away from his marker and crossed for Hákon Haraladsson to clip home a second just before halftime. Ludovic Ajorque got one back for Brest early in the second half but David restored Lille’s two-goal cushion when he pounced on a loose ball to slide home his team’s third. David’s goals took his season total to 17 in 23 games. They were his 10th and 11th in the league and lift him to the top of the Ligue 1 goal-scoring chart. Marseille was second ahead of Lille and Monaco on goal difference. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
