S. Illinois 81, Florida Tech 54Board of Regents gives go-ahead for UM college restructureDENVER — So you're the most valuable player of that annual Thanksgiving Day backyard flag football game. Or played tackle football on any level. Or ran track. Or dabbled in basketball. Or toyed with any sport, really. Well, this may be just for you: USA Football is holding talent identification camps all over the country to find that next flag football star. It's “America’s Got Talent” meets “American Idol,” with the stage being the field and the grand prize a chance to compete for a spot on a national team. Because it’s never too early to start planning for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, where flag football will make its Summer Games debut. Know this, though — it's not an easy team to make. The men's and women's national team rosters are at “Dream Team” status given the men’s side has captured six of the last seven world championships and the women three in a row. To remain on top, the sport's national governing body is scouring every football field, park, track, basketball court and gym to find hidden talent to cultivate. USA Football has organized camps and tryouts from coast to coast for anyone ages 11 to 23. There are more than a dozen sites set up so far, ranging from Dallas (Sunday) to Chicago (Dec. 14) to Tampa (March 29) to Los Angeles (to be determined) and the Boston area (April 27), where it will be held at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. The organization has already partnered with the NFL on flag football initiatives and programs. The numbers have been through the roof, with engagement on social media platforms increasing by 86% since flag football was announced as an Olympic invitational sport in October 2023 . The participation of boys and girls ages 6 to 17 in flag football last year peaked at more than 1.6 million, according to USA Football research. “We pride ourselves on elevating the gold standard across the sport,” said Eric Mayes, the managing director of the high performance and national teams for USA Football. “We want to be the best in the world — and stay the best in the world.” Flag football was one of five new sports added to the LA28 program. The already soaring profile of American football only figures to be enhanced by an Olympic appearance. Imagine, say, a few familiar faces take the field, too. Perhaps even NFL stars such as Tyreek Hill or Patrick Mahomes, maybe even past pro football greats donning a flag belt for a country to which they may have ties. Soon after flag football's inclusion, there was chatter of NFL players possibly joining in on the fun. Of course, there are logistical issues to tackle before their inclusion at the LA Olympics, which open July 14, 2028. Among them, training camp, because the Olympics will be right in the middle of it. The big question is this: Will owners permit high-priced players to duck out for a gold-medal pursuit? No decisions have yet been made on the status of NFL players for the Olympics. For now, it's simply about growing the game. There are currently 13 states that sanction girls flag football as a high school varsity sport. Just recently, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles helped pave the way to get it adopted in Pennsylvania. Around the world, it's catching on, too. The women's team from Japan took third at the recent word championships, while one of the best players on the planet is Mexico quarterback Diana Flores . “Could flag football globally become the new soccer? That’s something to aspire to," said Stephanie Kwok , the NFL's vice president of flag football. This type of flag football, though, isn't your Thanksgiving Day game with family and friends. There's a learning curve. And given the small roster sizes, versatility is essential. Most national team members need to be a version of Colorado’s two-way standout and Heisman hopeful Travis Hunter. Forget bump-and-run coverage, too, because there's no contact. None. That took some adjusting for Mike Daniels, a defensive back out of West Virginia who earned a rookie minicamp invitation with the Cleveland Browns in 2017. “If a receiver is running around, I’m thinking, ‘OK, I can kind of bump him here and there and nudge him,’” Daniels explained. “They’re like, ‘No, you can’t.’ I’m just like, ‘So I’m supposed to let this guy just run?’ I really rebelled at the idea at first. But you learn.” The competition for an Olympic roster spot is going to be fierce because only 10 players are expected to make a squad. The best 10 will earn it, too, as credentials such as college All-American or NFL All-Pro take a back seat. “I would actually love" seeing NFL players try out, said Daniels, who's also a personal trainer in Miami. “I’m not going to let you just waltz in here, thinking, ‘I played NFL football for five years. I’m popular. I have a huge name.’ I’m still better than you and I'm going to prove it — until you prove otherwise.” Around the house, Bruce Mapp constantly swivels his hips when turning a hallway corner or if his daughter tries to reach for a hug. It’s his way of working on avoiding a “defender” trying to snare the flag. That approach has earned the receiver out of Coastal Carolina four gold medals with USA Football. The 31-year-old fully plans on going for more gold in Los Angeles. “You grow up watching Usain Bolt (win gold) and the ‘Redeem Team’ led by Kobe Bryant win a gold medal, you're always thinking, ‘That's insane.' Obviously, you couldn't do it in your sport, because I played football," said Mapp, who owns a food truck in the Dallas area. "With the Olympics approaching, that (gold medal) is what my mind is set on." It's a common thought, which is why everything — including talent camps — starts now. “Everybody thinks, ‘Yeah, the U.S. just wins,’” Daniels said. “But we work hard all the time. We don’t just walk in. We don’t just get off the bus thinking, ‘We’re going to beat people.’”

More info Netflix has shared an exciting update on Prince Harry 's forthcoming documentary series. The five-part docuseries, produced by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex , is set to premiere on December 10, as announced on Wednesday. The eagerly-awaited show, named POLO, tracks polo players "on and off the field as they compete in the high-stakes US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida", according to Netflix. The streaming giant revealed: "Through fierce rivalries and intense training, viewers will get an unprecedented glimpse into the dedication and skill required to compete at the sport's highest level." It's no secret that the Duke of Sussex, 40, has been a polo player for years and is a big fan of the equestrian sport. "From a young player pushed to his limits by his demanding father, to a former golfer who's made significant sacrifices for the love of the sport, to the father-son duo widely regarded as the greatest players of all time - they all face intense personal and professional challenges as they vie for the coveted title," Netflix elaborated. This latest update follows Netflix's announcement of the documentary series on X in September. The statement read: "POLO is a new documentary series that follows elite global players and offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the fast-paced world of the sport. From Archewell Productions and Boardwalk Pictures." Archewell Productions, the company owned by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, is set to release a new show as part of their multi-year deal with Netflix, signed in 2020. Meghan will also be hosting her own non-fiction series, celebrating "the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining and friendship". Netflix has already given fans a sneak peek of the documentary with four still images, including a shot of three polo players on horseback and two competitors sprinting with mallets after the ball. While Harry and Meghan may make brief appearances, the focus won't be on them. Back in April, it was revealed that Harry had signed a deal with Netflix to produce a documentary series about the intriguing sport of polo. The series promises to "provide viewers unprecedented access to the world of professional polo," according to a statement released at the time. "Known primarily for its aesthetic and social scene, the series will pull the curtain back on the grit and passion of the sport, capturing players and all it takes to compete at the highest level," it read. Harry's friend and fellow polo player, Ignacio 'Nacho' Figueras, is working closely with the Duke on the show. Discussing the upcoming polo-themed project with People, he shared: "Prince Harry and I have talked about polo for years. The production company is incredible, and Netflix has a huge platform to reach the biggest hearts in the world. I am happy to be involved and think this is a great opportunity for the sport."Soccer-Dortmund beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 to stay firmly on qualification course

One in four have been convinced to invest in stocks and shares by a mate in the pubQNA DOHA: Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs HE Dr Mohammed bin Abdulaziz bin Saleh Al Khulaifi has affirmed that the stances of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, leaders and peoples, on the Palestinian cause are firm and stemming from the belief in the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state on all their national soil. Addressing the opening session of the 11th Gulf and Arabian Peninsula Studies Forum, organized by the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies on Saturday, he explained that the relationship between the GCC countries and the Palestinian cause is not a recent development, but rather an extension of a long history of support and solidarity that began with the establishment of these countries and still continues. The Stances of the Gulf States, leadership and peoples, have always remained firm and steadfast, stemming from the belief in the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state on their entire national soil, he said. Since the beginning of this relationship, the Gulf States have opened their doors giving Palestinians a safe haven and opportunities to work and contribute to their development, he said adding that the deep human ties between the Palestinian people and the Gulf peoples have contributed to supporting various areas of development, and they have left indelible marks in building institutions and infrastructure. Such ties have also formed humanitarian and cultural bridges that have strengthened the ties between the Gulf peoples and the Palestinian people and made them brothers who share with us the journey of growth and prosperity. Dr Al Khulaifi pointed out that the Palestinian cause will always remain the focus of attention of Arab and Islamic countries, expressing his certainty that the Arab nation carries this cause in its conscience and is doing everything in its power to enhance the steadfastness of the brotherly Palestinian people. GCC countries will spare no effort in harnessing all capabilities to support the Palestinian people and their steadfastness in the face of the Israeli occupation that threatens their existence and rights. He also noted that the Arab and Islamic peoples are fully aware that the stability and security of the region are closely linked to a just and comprehensive settlement to the Palestinian cause, so their support for this just cause is not just a religious or national duty, but rather a humanitarian and moral commitment. He touched on the developments in the Palestinian issue and the displacement, genocide and settlement projects, saying that the Israeli settlement project in Palestine has been going against the course of history since its birth, and the campaigns of genocide and displacement of the Palestinian people for more than half a century have only strengthened their determination to hold to their land. The steadfastness of the Palestinian people and the growing human awareness have consolidated the rights of this oppressed people on their land, he stressed. Against the backdrop of the developments in the conflict, there is only one solution left for everyone, which is to enable the establishment of a fully sovereign Palestinian state on the borders of June 4, 1967, he continued. He also spoke about the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, saying that it has gone too far in its brutality and recklessness, taking the form of collective punishment and a war of extermination that has resulted in a terrifying toll of innocent victims, severe destruction, and an unprecedented humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip and then the West Bank. This aggression has exceeded all warnings issued by international platforms that the worsening of the crisis could lead to dangerous violence, he said noting that these warnings reflected deep concern about the repercussions of this ongoing conflict. He also stressed the need to mobilize international and regional efforts to push for peace and stability in the region and guarantee the rights of the Palestinian people to live in dignity and security. He stressed that the continuation of this aggression requires the international community to take a firm stance to stop these gross violations of human rights, adding that the international community must assume its moral and legal responsibilities in protecting the Palestinian people. He the Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on all international parties to work seriously to achieve this well-known goal and avoid further escalation and violence that only brings more suffering and destruction. He referred to what the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip have been witnessing in the past months of a genocidal war, the number of victims of which has reached more than 43 thousand martyrs and more than 100 thousand wounded, in addition to thousands missing and under the rubble, in addition to the forced displacement of more than two million Palestinians from their homes many times in search of safety. After more than a year since the beginning of the war, the number of dead, wounded and missing people is constantly increasing, he said expressing concern that this scene will become familiar. "However, no matter how much the international community tries to justify these crimes without real condemnation, this will not blind us from seeing the painful reality experienced by the brotherly Palestinian people," he continued. He also stressed that the continuation of this tragic situation in Gaza imposes on everyone a moral and humanitarian responsibility to raise their voices against these violations and work tirelessly to remind the world that the Palestinian people deserve to live in dignity and security, away from violence and oppression. Dr Al Khulaifi spoke about the role of the State of Qatar in resolving conflicts and supporting stability and peace efforts in the region and the world. "The State of Qatar has been a living model of an effective role in mediation between the conflicting parties, based on established principles of justice, fairness and respect for international law," he said. He continued, "These efforts aim to build trust between the conflicting parties, encourage them to engage in constructive dialogue and facilitate the process of achieving peace. They also include exerting the necessary care to ensure reaching a specific result and creating the appropriate conditions for achieving a peaceful and sustainable solution." Hereiterated the State of Qatar's firm position in supporting the right of the Palestinian people to exist, remain on their land and determine their fate. He stressed that Qatar will not hesitate to make every effort to achieve a just, lasting and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue. In this context, he referred to the efforts made by the State of Qatar in cooperation with its partners in November of last year, which resulted in achieving a temporary humanitarian pause in Gaza, leading to the release of 240 Palestinian prisoners, including women and children, and 109 detainees in Gaza, in addition to increasing the flow of relief shipments to the Strip. In the same context, he pointed out the State of Qatar's contribution to evacuating the wounded and sick and its support for humanitarian initiatives to deliver aid through all available means, stressing that it will continue to make efforts until a permanent ceasefire is reached and a just solution is achieved in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, ensuring that the Palestinian people obtain all their legitimate rights, most notably their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital and full membership in the United Nations. "To achieve this, the occupation and illegal settlement on the occupied Arab territories must be ended and illegal practices that undermine the two-state solution must be stopped," he said. He went on saying that Qatar's mediation efforts stem from Islamic and Arab values and the principles of justice and fairness, which are the foundation on which the State of Qatar's foreign policy has been based for many years. These efforts seek to achieve a just peace that protects the rights of the weak and ensures a better future for future generations, he added. Dr Al Khulaifi stressed that this critical moment requires all governments and peoples to reconsider the tools and mechanisms for supporting the Palestinian cause. "From this standpoint come the efforts made by the Ministerial Committee assigned by the Extraordinary Joint Arab-Islamic Summit to create a clear path for the Palestinian cause," he said. He pointed out that this committee has made several visits to relevant capitals and the United Nations to work to stop this Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people and to move at the international level to support efforts to gain recognition of Palestine. He also explained that these efforts include enhancing cooperation with international and regional organizations and intensifying diplomatic campaigns to raise global awareness about the suffering of the Palestinian people. He pointed out that the war of extermination launched by Israel on Gaza after October 7 of last year revealed the intentions and actions of the occupation, adding that the world is now facing a major legal and moral challenge between standing with the values of justice, fairness and international law, and watching the demolition of what humanity has built under the pretext of political realism. He said: "What increased the embarrassment of standing as spectators to the war of extermination on Gaza is the increasing pressure from peoples and human rights organizations, and after a difficult period that extended for many months, the world chose to gradually move away from double standards. He continued: "Countries and regional and international organizations have moved to defend human values, and international treaties and covenants have been activated to stop the crime of genocide against Gaza and hold its perpetrators accountable under international judicial platforms. A unique international consensus has been reached based on the fact that there is no political solution that will restore peace and stability to the Middle East other than ending the occupation and allowing the Palestinian people to enjoy their right to self-determination." He also pointed out that the war of genocide on Gaza has clearly demonstrated that the power and will of peoples is the decisive factor in modern conflicts, as peoples, with their awareness and determination to achieve justice, are capable of changing the course of history and reshaping international relations. "This war has proven that popular solidarity can be stronger than any army and that the collective voice of peoples can impose a new will on the international scene," he added. He pointed out that this growing awareness among peoples would lead to a radical change in the rules of international relations, where the power of right becomes the basic criterion instead of the right of power, and countries realize that respect for human rights and social justice are the only way to achieve peace and stability. He stressed that supporting the Palestinian cause should not be a temporary response to moments of crisis, but rather a sustainable commitment based on a clear vision and a long-term strategy. This integrated approach reflects a genuine commitment to empowering the Palestinian people to establish their independent state. To achieve this, efforts must be combined at various levels, starting with political and diplomatic support in international forums, and extending to providing economic and development support to enhance the Palestinian infrastructure, he stressed. Dr Al Khulaifi stressed that the State of Qatar will remain at the forefront of supporters of efforts aimed at achieving peace and justice, and will continue to work tirelessly to prevent the outbreak of conflicts and resolve them through peaceful means to ensure that all peoples enjoy a dignified and secure life. "Qatar's commitment to peace and justice is a permanent commitment that reflects our established values and principles to promote stability and prosperity for all," he stressed. Copy 30/11/2024 10
Every good fishing tale starts with a drink — or at least it should if you're reading about the origin story of Fish House Punch. This drink's lore was built on both facts and fiction. First: the facts. This spirited concoction is a rum-based drink that brings together a high-proof peach brandy, cognac, lemon juice, water, and some sugar or simple syrup. It was first mixed up in the 18th century right outside the City of Brotherly Love at a gentlemen's social club, State in Schuylkill, the first angling club in the colonies. Well before the United States had an established government, this fishing club was a hub for political talk, fishing, and a lot of drinking its signature punch. This libation was born around 1732 and is served as a large-batch drink in an oversized punch bowl. To say this cocktail is strong would be an understatement. Its alcohol content puts the signature drink for every state to shame; it is not for the faint of heart, nor is it for lightweight drinkers. It doesn't come together quickly, either. It needs about four hours to set so the intense flavors of the alcohol can soften. This also lets the fresh lemon juice mellow. When you pour it, use lots of ice to dilute it. You'll want to limit yourself to one glassful; George Washington may have found out about the power of this drink the hard way. Forefather fiction and making your own version Enter the potential fiction. As the story goes, the first president of the United States may have been an honored guest at the society's clubhouse, where he may have had too much of the Fish House Punch. While there is no absolute proof that he did indulge to the point of intoxication, some like to direct attention to his diary's lack of entries for three straight days after his alleged visit. The insinuation is he went on a bender drinking this punch and was nursing a hangover. Our founding fathers had some surprising drinking habits , but just like George Washington, we cannot tell a lie, and the veracity of this tale has yet to be confirmed. Today, Fish House Punch is served up at parties and large gatherings like those backyard barbecues celebrating the Fourth of July or ringing in the New Year. It is the perfect drink to file under rum punch recipes for your next party . If you like the idea of this punch but the amount of booze has you wary, you may want to lighten the alcohol ever so slightly by skipping the use of high-proof brandy and instead opting for peach schnapps; however, if you do this swap, you will need to adjust the amount of sugar you use, or it will be wicked sweet. Large-batch cocktails like Fish House Punch are great when you have a crowd. If you plan on trying this purported drink of our forefathers, remember to drink responsibly.United States Baker Hughes US Oil Rig Count declined to 477 from previous 479

A shooter kills UnitedHealthcare's CEO in an ambush in New York, police say NEW YORK (AP) — UnitedHealthcare’s CEO has been shot and killed in what police say is a “brazen, targeted attack” outside a Manhattan hotel where the health insurer was holding its investor conference. The shooting rattled the city and set off a massive dragnet hours before the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting. Police say 50-year-old Brian Thompson was shot around 6:45 a.m. Wednesday as he walked alone to the New York Hilton Midtown from a nearby hotel. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch says the shooter appeared to be “lying in wait for several minutes” before approaching Thompson from behind and opening fire. Police have not yet established a motive. UnitedHealthcare CEO kept a low public profile. Then he was shot to death in New York NEW YORK (AP) — Brian Thompson led one of the biggest health insurers in the US but was unknown to the millions of people his decisions affected. The fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare's chief executive on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk early Wednesday swiftly became a mystery that riveted the nation. Police say it was a targeted killing. Thompson was 50. He had run health care giant UnitedHealth Group Inc.'s insurance business since 2021. It provides health coverage for more than 49 million Americans. He had worked at the company for 20 years. The business run by Thompson brought in $281 billion in revenue last year. Thompson's $10.2 million annual compensation package made him one of the company’s highest-paid executives. Hegseth fights to save Pentagon nomination as sources say Trump considers DeSantis WASHINGTON (AP) — Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s Pentagon pick, is fighting to hold on to his Cabinet nomination amid growing questions about his personal conduct as the president-elect’s team considers alternatives, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. But Hegseth says, “We’re not backing down one bit." The Trump transition team is concerned about Hegseth’s path to Senate confirmation and is actively looking at potential replacements, according to a person familiar with the matter. Hegseth is under pressure as senators weigh a series of allegations that have surfaced against him. Beyond DeSantis, there have been discussions about shifting Michael Waltz, who was named by Trump as his national security adviser, to the Defense Department Supreme Court seems likely to uphold Tennessee's ban on medical treatments for transgender minors WASHINGTON (AP) — Hearing a high-profile culture-war clash, the Supreme Court on Wednesday seemed likely to uphold Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors. The justices’ decision, not expected for several months, could affect similar laws enacted by another 25 states and a range of other efforts to regulate the lives of transgender people, including which sports competitions they can join and which bathrooms they can use. The case is being weighed by a conservative-dominated court after a presidential election in which Donald Trump and his allies promised to roll back protections for transgender people. The Biden administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer warned a decision favorable to Tennessee also could be used to justify nationwide restrictions on transgender healthcare for minors. Peter Navarro served prison time related to Jan. 6. Now Trump is bringing him back as an adviser WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump is bringing Peter Navarro back to the White House for his second administration. Trump announced Wednesday on Truth Social that Navarro will serve as a senior counselor for trade and manufacturing. He was a trade adviser in Trump's first term. Navarro served four months in prison after being held in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Trump also chose Daniel Driscoll as Army secretary, Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator and Adam Boehler as special presidential envoy for hostage affairs. Israeli strikes on a Gaza tent camp kill at least 21 people, hospital says KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — A Palestinian health official said Wednesday that at least 21 people were killed in Israeli strikes on a camp housing displaced people in Gaza. The Israeli military said it struck senior Hamas militants. The strikes hit in the Muwasi area, a sprawling coastal camp housing hundreds of thousands of displaced people. It came after Israeli forces struck targets in other areas of Gaza. According to Palestinian medics, strikes in central Gaza killed eight people, including four children. The war in Gaza is nearly 14 months old and showing no end in sight, despite international efforts to revive negotiations toward a ceasefire. South Korean President Yoon's martial law declaration raises questions over his political future SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — President Yoon Suk Yeol’s stunning martial law declaration lasted just hours, but experts say it raised serious questions about his ability to govern for the remaining 2 1/2 years of his term. The opposition-controlled parliament overturned the edict, and his rivals on Wednesday took steps to impeach him. Yoon's move baffled many experts. One analyst called his action “political suicide.” Yoon’s political fate may depend on whether a large number of people in coming days take to the streets to push for his ouster. Yoon hasn't commented on the impeachment bid. But the political instability he unleashed could make it more difficult for his government to nurse a decaying economy. French lawmakers vote to oust prime minister in the first successful no-confidence vote since 1962 PARIS (AP) — France’s far-right and left-wing lawmakers have joined together to vote on a no-confidence motion prompted by budget disputes that forces Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his Cabinet to resign. The National Assembly approved the motion by 331 votes. A minimum of 288 were needed. President Emmanuel Macron insisted he will serve the rest of his term until 2027. However, he will need to appoint a new prime minister for the second time after July’s legislative elections led to a deeply divided parliament. Macron will address the French on Thursday evening, his office said, without providing details. Barnier is expected to formally resign by then. White House says at least 8 US telecom firms, dozens of nations impacted by China hacking campaign WASHINGTON (AP) — A top White House official says at least eight U.S. telecom firms and dozens of nations have been impacted by a Chinese hacking campaign. Deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger offered the new details Wednesday about the breadth of the sprawling Chinese hacking campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans. Neuberger divulged the scope of the hack a day after the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued guidance intended to help root out the hackers and prevent similar cyberespionage in the future. White House officials cautioned that a number of telecommunication firms and countries impacted could still grow. Harris found success with women who have cats, but Trump got the dog owner vote: AP VoteCast WASHINGTON (AP) — The lead-up to the 2024 election was all about cat owners. But in the end, the dogs had their day. Donald Trump won more than half of voters who own either cats or dogs, and he had with a big assist from dog owners. That's according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters. Dog owners were much more likely to support Trump over Kamala Harris. Cat owners were evenly split between the two candidates. Harris did end up decisively winning support from women who own a cat but no dog. Past comments by Trump's running mate, JD Vance, about “childless cat ladies” briefly became a campaign issue.
