TV personality Kelly Ripa is stirring up more than just Thanksgiving sides this year. The Live with Kelly and Mark host, 54, found herself at the center of a heated debate after Monday’s show. She sparked controversy when she asked viewers a seemingly innocent question: “Do you call it stuffing or dressing?” While Ripa explained the terms vary by region, viewers were quick to school her online, arguing that “ stuffing ” and “dressing” are two entirely different dishes. The backlash spilled into Tuesday’s episode, and Ripa didn’t hold back when addressing the Thanksgiving controversy. A post shared by LIVE with Kelly and Mark (@livekellyandmark) “I mean, forget any political discourse ,” she said, clearly unimpressed. “The real discourse are the people arguing about stuffing and dressing .” Ripa then turned her frustration directly on her critics.

One fan wrote: "Stuffing is made from bread. Dressing is made from corn bread . They’re not the same." "Neither. It's called filling," another claimed. A third noted: "Stuffing.

Officers from both agencies responded and determined the infant was in an infant carrier while the mother was settling in after returning home. She heard a loud noise in the home and ran to the infant’s location. The mother found a raccoon attacking her infant. She was able to grab the animal to stop the attack. It is unknown how the raccoon gained access to the home. The infant was taken by the parents to Cassia Regional Hospital in Burley for treatment of undisclosed injuries and then transferred to a hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. The father of the infant and a sheriff’s deputy returned to the home, found the raccoon still in the home and killed it. No other raccoons were found in the home. Fish and Game is confident that the raccoon killed by the infants’ father was the one involved in the attack. Fish and Game took possession of the raccoon carcass and coordinated with staff from South Central Public Health District to get the raccoon tested for rabies. Fish and Game staff transported the carcass to Boise for testing by the Idaho Bureau of Laboratories. The rabies test was negative. Fish and Game activates response team Once notified of the incident, staff from the Fish and Game Magic Valley Region activated their Wildlife Human Attack Response Team. This specially trained team of department staff has the responsibility to act to protect the safety of the public and incident responders; attempt to identify, locate, and control the animal(s) involved in a human-wildlife incident; and conduct, document and report investigative findings. Raccoon attacks on people are rare While raccoons are a common species across Idaho, reports of attacks on humans are extremely rare. And while raccoons have a reputation as a potential carrier of rabies, only one case of raccoon rabies has been documented in Idaho. Raccoons are generally shy and will typically avoid humans, but they can become aggressive if they feel threatened. As with all wildlife that can be found around homes in Idaho, the best course of action to avoid raccoon encounters is to take preventative actions before a problem starts. Raccoons can live in a variety of habitats, but an area with access to water and food will attract them. Never purposefully feed a raccoon. A homeowner can limit food sources by securing residential garbage, removing any fallen fruit or rotten produce from your yard or garden, feeding pets indoors, keeping pet food securely stored, and removing or securing bird feeders. Blocking raccoon access to hiding places in sheds and outbuildings and sealing off potential entryways and exits in and around a home will also discourage raccoon use.
“I Was Cool About It”: Deebo Samuel Breaks Silence on Terrell Owens’ “Pregame Attire” JabNFL Owner's Daughter Turns Heads With Outfit On Sunday
Fine Gael election candidate John McGahon has broken his silence and issued leaflets to homes in Louth asking them for support. The letter, seen by the Irish Mirror, says that the Senator “loves his community” and that if it is “not possible” for voters to give them their number one vote, he would like them to consider giving him their “highest transfer”. Videos of an altercation between Mr McGahon and farmer Breen White during a late-night altercation outside a Louth pub started circulating online earlier this month. READ MORE: Taoiseach Simon Harris 'not sure' if he will canvass with under fire John McGahon READ MORE: Paschal Donohoe compares Simon Harris to Coleen Rooney as he confesses to new guilty pleasure Mr White, from Castleblaney, Co Monaghan, sued Mr McGahon for assault and battery outside the Rum House pub in Dundalk, Co Louth, on June 16, 2018. Mr McGahon, who was elected to the Seanad after the incident, denied the claims and said he was assaulted and acted in self-defence. In July, a High Court civil jury awarded Mr White €39,000 following the alleged assault. It apportioned blame at 65 per cent against Mr McGahon and 35 per cent against Mr White. A separate criminal trial found Mr McGahon not guilty of assault. In the new letter sent to households in Louth, Mr McGahon said that “Ireland stands at a crucial moment”. “The choices we make now will shape the future of our country, for our children, our families and our businesses,” he wrote. “Since I was first elected as a councillor back in 2014, I have worked my heart out for county Louth. I love our county. It’s my home and I am very proud of the work we have achieved here. “Helping people is the most rewarding part of my job, and it has been a privilege to do that over the past 10 years as a councillor and then a senator. "But now, at this crucial election, our community needs a TD who will champion it, both at home in Louth and nationally in Dáil Éireann. I hope you can see how much I love our community and how hard I work for it. “That’s why I am looking for your number one vote. If that is not possible, please consider me for your highest transfer. “The coming election is going to be really close, so please make sure to vote.” The letter has the Fine Gael logo in the bottom right corner. Elsewhere, Taoiseach Simon Harris said on Wednesday that he did not know if he would canvass with Mr McGahon in Louth. “I’m not sure, is the honest answer,” he said. “John McGahon is a duly selected Fine Gael candidate. He's on the ticket, as is councillor Paula Butterly. It's up to the people of Louth to decide if they wish to vote Fine Gael, which candidate to support. “I've made it very clear my view in relation to violence. I’d need to reflect on that so I'm not sure. “No [I wouldn’t ask him to leave if he showed up]. We’re not in that space at all. “But whether I do or don't get to canvass with Senator McGahon is a matter I'm not yet decided on.” Mr Harris said that he will continue to canvass on Thursday and until 10pm on Friday when the voting closes.

Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that he has not received any formal message from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan for a meeting, stressing that he will carefully consider such a request if it is made. "I have not received any formal message from the PTI founder for a meeting," he said while talking to journalists who showed up at his residence to inquire after his health on Saturday. "I will make a decision after thorough contemplation, if the PTI founder expresses a desire to meet me." The JUI-F chief's remarks come more than a month after he denied media reports that claimed that the Maulana Fazlur Rehman-led party decided to meet the incarcerated PTI founder in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail. The media reports had claimed that JUI-F Senator Kamran Murtaza, after receiving the court’s nod, would meet Khan in the Rawalpindi jail. During the meeting, the two opposition parties would discuss a strategy to give a tough time to the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif-led federal government, the reports added. However, a JUI-F spokesperson called such media reports “rumours”, saying Senator Murtaza was not given any special task in this regard. “There should be a fair trial in cases filed against the PTI founder. We are and will remain in contact with the PTI as an opposition party," the party's spokesperson noted. Earlier today, Fazl reiterated his complaint about the February 8 elections, saying that his religio-political party was not provided with a level playing field in the election. “Some individuals allowed themselves to be used, whereas we refused to be part of such manipulation,” he remarked. Replying to a question, Fazl highlighted his party's commitment to institutional strength over personal interests in the 26th Amendment. He also criticised uncalled-for interference in previously settled matters regarding the registration of seminaries. However, he affirmed progress on the issue. Turning to security concerns, Fazl expressed alarm over the situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, noting, “There is no writ of the government in the province as districts like Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu, and Tank are under the control of terrorists.” He further revealed that courts and government offices in Tank have been relocated to Dera Ismail Khan due to security challenges. Responding to a question about his party's relations with the PTI, he underscored: “We maintain a working relationship with the Imran-founded party at the federal level. But, we have different stance on provincial matters.”
Ahmad Robinson scores 21 in near triple-double and Mercer beats Georgia State 71-68AP Trending SummaryBrief at 5:24 p.m. ESTBIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - Aston Villa had to settle for a 0-0 draw with Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday after a last-gasp effort by Morgan Rogers was chalked off for a foul on Juventus keeper Michele Di Gregorio. Villa thought they had won it at the death to end a six-game winless streak when Di Gregorio failed to catch a free kick but Diego Carlos fouled the Juventus keeper as Rogers was lashing the ball into the net, and boos poured out from Villa fans after the final whistle. The match was far from a classic, with Juventus seemingly content to keep possession, and both sides squandered chances, with Villa's best coming from Lucas Digne who hammered a free kick off the crossbar seconds before halftime. Midway through the second half, Francisco Conceicao's header from a corner looked destined for the back of Villa's net but goalkeeper Emi Martinez dived to get his fingertips to the ball. Unai Emery's Villa, who had kicked off their Champions League campaign with three victories and three clean sheets, are ninth in the table after five games, while their Italian visitors, who had only 14 outfield players available on Wednesday, are 17th.

New footage of vehicles slamming into rail bridges in Queensland has been released amid a push to improve driver awareness. At least 386 bridges or protection beams have been hit by vehicles in the past 12 months, causing train and road delays. Police and multiple government departments are leading a blitz this week to improve awareness among drivers in high-risk areas. “Just last month we saw a car narrowly miss being crushed after a truck got wedged at Corinda – next time maybe we won’t be so lucky,” said Travis Cooper from Queensland Rail. “We’re not mincing our words – drivers, know your height, plan your route and obey the signs and rules.” Children younger than 16 are all but set to be banned from social media, with federal parliament poised to enact the world-first legislation. The Senate is expected on Thursday to pass the laws that would ban young people from platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok with bipartisan support. However, there has been concern that the proposal has been rushed through parliament without proper scrutiny, given that Australia would be the first country to implement such a ban. The ban would come into effect one year after the laws pass the parliament, with trials of age-verification technology still done by the federal government. Criticism had been levelled at the ban after an inquiry into the laws ran for just three hours, with people only given one day to hand in submissions and a lack of consultation with young people themselves. While the bill has enjoyed bipartisan support, several coalition members have broken ranks to raise concerns. Tasmanian Liberal MP Bridget Archer crossed the floor to vote against the ban in the House of Representatives, while coalition senator Matt Canavan has also criticised the laws.

SUGAR LAND, Texas — For the third time in less than a month, ProPublica has published a report on the death of a Texas woman as a result of the state's abortion ban. On Oct. 30, the publication shared the story of Josseli Barnica , who died after a hospital told her it would be a crime to intervene in her miscarriage. One day later, ProPublica shared the story of 18-year-old Neveah Crain , who died after she tried to get care in three visits to emergency rooms. Now, the publication is telling the story of a 35-year-old mother of two Porsha Ngumezi, who died after suffering a miscarriage at 11 weeks. "I married my beautiful queen, but she was also going to be the mother of my kids. You know, that brought me a lot of joy," Porsha Ngumezi's husband, Hope Ngumezi, told KVUE. Over the course of six hours on June 11, 2023, ProPublica reports that Porsha Ngumezi had bled so much in the emergency department at Houston Methodist Sugar Land that she needed two transfusions. Nurses notes show she was "passing large clots the size of grapefruit." Hope Ngumezi called his mother, a former physician, who said his wife needed a D&C, or dilation and curettage, a common procedure for first-trimester miscarriages and abortions. "If a doctor could remove the remaining tissue from her uterus, the bleeding would end," the ProPublica report states. But when the obstetrician on duty finally arrived, Hope Ngumezi recalled that he told them it was the hospital's "routine" to give women a drug called misoprostol to help the body pass the tissue. Records show Porsha Ngumezi took the pills, and the bleeding continued. "The mindset I had that day was, 'They're the experts, right?' I know they have seen miscarriages many a time, so they are well equipped to know what to do," Hope Ngumezi told KVUE. Three hours later, his wife died. "It could have been prevented. Felt like everyone turned their backs on us at that during that day," Hope Ngumezi said. Dozens of doctors who reviewed a summary of Porsha Ngumezi's case for ProPublica say her death was preventable, with some saying it raises serious questions about how abortion bans are "pressuring doctors to diverge from the standard of care and reach for less-effective options that could expose their patients to more risks." Medical experts told ProPublica it was clear Porsha Ngumezi needed an emergency D&C because she was hemorrhaging and the doctors knew she had a blood-clotting disorder, putting her at greater danger of excessive and prolonged bleeding. ProPublica reports that D&Cs are a staple of maternal health care and can be lifesaving, but because the procedure is also used to end pregnancies, it has become tangled up in legislation that restricts abortions. "Texas doctors told ProPublica the law has changed the way their colleagues see the procedure; some no longer consider it a first-line treatment, fearing legal repercussions or dissuaded by the extra legwork required to document the miscarriage and get hospital approval to carry out a D&C," the report states. "This has occurred, ProPublica found, even in cases like Porsha’s where there isn’t a fetal heartbeat or the circumstances should fall under an exception in the law," the report continues. "Some doctors are transferring those patients to other hospitals, which delays their care, or they’re defaulting to treatments that aren’t the medical standard." Lizzie Presser is a reporter with ProPublica who has heard women with similar stories to Porsha Ngumezi's. "Some of those women got lucky – they survived. But as you see in the piece, it's a gamble. You don't know who's going to survive and who's not," Presser said. KVUE also reached out to Texas Alliance for Life regarding ProPublica's report. The group sent us this statement: "Porsha's heartbreaking and tragic death was preventable and not a result of Texas abortion laws. Texas law specifically exempts the 'removal of a dead unborn child, whose death was caused by spontaneous abortion' (also known as a miscarriage) from the definition of abortion in the statute. Therefore, nothing in Texas law prevented Porsha's doctors from performing a D&C (dilation and curettage). "This latest article from ProPublica yet again misrepresents the facts, attempting to spread fear and confusion where the law is quite clear. Texas laws are designed to save the lives of women and babies. As evidenced by the latest Induced Termination of Pregnancy Report released monthly by Texas Health and Human Services, they are doing just that. Elective abortions have dropped to zero, while doctors have performed 119 medically necessary abortions during the first 24 months after the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs decision. While not reported, we know they have also successfully treated countless women facing a loss through miscarriage. Our hearts go out to Porsha's family. Our laws allow better, and Porsha deserved better. Why she did not receive a D & C is a question only the treating physicians can answer." Hope Ngumezi told KVUE he has anger over Texas' laws, but it does not overpower the loss that he and his children now have to deal with. "Kids were young at that time. They were 3 and 5," Hope Ngumezi said. "They just barely started life. And now they go to go through life without their mom." To learn more about Ngumezi's story, read ProPublica's full report .Few leagues will humble you as fast as the NFL the moment you enjoy even a semblance of success. Time and time again, apparent young superstars fly way too close to the sun and predictably have their wings burned off. We can probably safely add the Houston Texans' C.J. Stroud to that depressing catalog -- at least for now. On Sunday, the second-year quarterback looked like a shell of the passer who broke several records en route to an Offensive Rookie of the Year Award in 2023. Stroud's recent alarming struggles culminated in him taking a backbreaking, game-losing safety to seal a bad loss to the woeful Tennessee Titans. This, on a day where Stroud already threw two interceptions and took four sacks (they are a quarterback stat!). Something is broken with someone who was anointed The Next Great Quarterback over the past entire offseason: SAFETY AND THE TITANS WILL WIN IT — Mr Matthew CFB (@MrMatthew_CFB) I have little doubt that a great quarterback remains somewhere inside of Stroud. Talent doesn't just leave players like him overnight. It's just that we haven't seen that great quarterback in an alarming amount of time now. Stroud hasn't thrown for at least 300 yards since early October. His average yards per pass attempt (7.2) has dropped a full point off of last year's sparking number (8.2). His passer rating (88.0) has dropped more than 12 full points from his rookie campaign (100.8). The most disturbing element in Stroud's issues is how he now creates actively negative plays for the Texans' offense. His 1.9 interception percentage is league-average a year after he took care of the ball better than almost everyone, his sack percentage of 8.79 is bottom-10 in the league. I don't care who you are. No offense and no quarterback can survive that kind of self-inflicting volatile mix. There are several plausible culprits in play for Stroud's sophomore slump. A year after being recognized as one of the NFL's hottest coaches, offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik's scheme has stagnated. It asks entirely too much of Stroud to be a hero for the Houston offense to function. The loss of Stefon Diggs also doesn't help, as there aren't too many security blankets for a young quarterback to lean on. Plus, if the Texans' rushing offense doesn't get going with Joe Mixon, their play has no discernible rhythm. Still, this doesn't excuse Stroud, who has shown a stunning lack of poise against pressure and in structure just a year after being one of the finest in those categories. He has played an immense role in his own problems, and he needs to learn from them in earnest before becoming an elite player again. Full stop. Don't get me wrong. There's plenty of time for the 23-year-old Stroud to turn things around and still reach his massive potential. But this 2024 season has unearthed an evergreen fact about gifted young quarterbacks. Their development is not linear. It never has been. They are not guaranteed to keep excelling after one great season. Most, in fact, will take their lumps and experience lows before hopefully returning to their highs. And if you're the Texans, you should've been more prepared for that reality with the face of your franchise.

NoneJavon Small scored 31 points to rally West Virginia to an 86-78 overtime upset of No. 3 Gonzaga in the opening round of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, Wednesday in Nassau, Bahamas. The Mountaineers (4-1) trailed by 10 points early in the second half and by five in the final minute. But over the final 19 seconds of regulation, Tucker DeVries scored five straight points to send the game to overtime. In the extra session, Small scored five points and West Virginia held Gonzaga to a single field goal, which came after the outcome was decided with 19 seconds left. Amani Hansberry added a career-high 19 points and eight rebounds for West Virginia, which advances to the semifinals Thursday against another surprise first-round winner, Louisville, which stunned No. 15 Indiana. Braden Huff scored 19 points and Khalif Battle added 16 points for Gonzaga (5-1) which settles for a consolation-round game Thursday against Indiana. Nolan Hickman tallied 13 points. Ryan Nembhard delivered seven points and 12 assists for the Bulldogs. Huff put Gonzaga in position to win when he made three hook shots in the final 2:34 of regulation as the Bulldogs turned a one-point deficit into a 69-66 lead. Two free throws by Nembhard expanded the lead to 71-66 with 25 seconds left. But DeVries followed with a 3-pointer from the top of the key and then made a mid-court steal and drew a foul with 5.9 seconds left. His two free throws sent it to overtime. The Mountaineers never trailed in overtime. Sencire Harris wrapped it up with a steal and a breakaway slam that put West Virginia up 84-76 with 26 seconds left. Battle, a transfer from Arkansas, scored eight points in a span of 90 seconds late in the first half as the Bulldogs took control on their way to a 39-31 lead at the break. Gonzaga earned its biggest lead early in the second half when Graham Ike scored inside with an assist from Nembhard to make it 43-33. But West Virginia responded with a 17-2 run, fueled by Small as he hit two 3-pointers and two layups. Hansberry drained a trey and DeVries grinded for a putback layup to give the Mountaineers a 50-45 lead with 12:26 left. DeVries finished the game with 16 points and four blocks. --Field Level Media
Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel (8) and Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart (7) celebrate after Gabriel’s touchdown during an NCAA college football game against Washington, Saturday, Nov. 30, 2024, in Eugene, Ore. AP Photo | Lydia Ely INDIANAPOLIS — Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel came to Indianapolis in July with a purpose. He wanted a sense of what Lucas Oil Stadium was like before making what he hoped would be a return trip in December. On Saturday, he’ll be back on the same turf. Plenty has changed for Gabriel and the Ducks since they came to town all those months ago for their inaugural Big Ten media day appearance. No. 1 Oregon sits atop the playoff seedings, remains the last unbeaten team in major college football and Gabriel has a new title — Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year. It’s been a dream season in every way for the soon-to-be 24-year-old Gabriel, right down to leading the Ducks into the conference championship game he’s been expecting. “If we didn’t think we’d be there, I wouldn’t have attended,” Gabriel said. “But I just felt really good about it. I was glad we were able to go see it (Lucas Oil), feel it, smell it. It was a good experience. Now that we’re going back with the whole squad, everyone’s excited.” Winning a conference title in his final season — and Oregon’s first season in its new league — would be the cherry on top for Gabriel now that both teams are virtual locks to make the first 12-team College Football Playoff. The winner likely earns a first-round bye, while the loser probably hosts a first-round game. There is big money at stake: The Big Ten stands to get $4 million for each school that makes the CFP and the payouts escalate beginning with the semifinals to $6 million per school; a conference whose school makes a run from the first round to the title game gets $20 million. The CFP also provides millions to cover expenses. While Oregon (12-0, 9-0 Big Ten, No. 1 CFP) was a preseason favorite to be back in town this weekend, No. 3 Penn State wasn’t supposed to make it after losing to then-No. 4 Ohio State. But the Nittany Lions (11-1, 8-1, No. 3 CFP) rebounded by winning their last four and got help last weekend when Michigan upset the Buckeyes. It’s the first time Penn State has reached a Big Ten championship title game since beating Wisconsin in 2016 — and they don’t intend to go home empty-handed this time, either. “Being from Pennsylvania, seeing that game from 2016, like I always imagined being in these shoes, being in that moment, trying to win a Big Ten championship,” running back Nick Singleton said. “Being in that moment right now feels good, but we’ve got to go out there and win it.” Gabirel concurred. “When you walk in that building everyone is excited to do stuff and ready to go,” he said. “So it’s about execution, playing clean and being who we are.”Microsoft is set to go under the microscope of the nation’s top antitrust watchdog, the Federal Trade Commission, which is launching a sweeping investigation into the tech giant’s practices. The FTC, in a letter sent to Microsoft, demanded that it hand over information to assist in the agency’s investigation, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. The FTC and Microsoft declined to comment. The probe was first reported by Bloomberg . Microsoft’s business is wide-ranging. It has quickly become a leading player in the emerging artificial intelligence space, thanks to an investment in OpenAI and its own AI system, Copilot, which built on the company’s existing cloud computing, enterprise software, gaming and device businesses. And the company has faced antitrust concerns before. European officials earlier this year considered a formal investigation of Microsoft’s OpenAI partnership, part of a wider effort to assess competition in the AI field, although the probe never materialized. Microsoft also battled FTC resistance to its $69 billion acquisition of video game publisher Activision Blizzard, which closed in October 2023. The agency had argued the merger would give Microsoft a monopoly in video game publishing, which the company denied. The investigation comes just months before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House. Trump hasn’t yet announced whom he plans to nominate to lead the FTC, but he is all but certain to replace the agency’s current chair, Lina Khan. The new administration could also toss out any current FTC investigations. Trump’s reelection has raised questions about how his administration will handle ongoing antitrust cases against tech giants, including Apple and Amazon . Google also awaits a decision on whether a federal judge will accept the US government’s recommendation that it should be forced to sell off Chrome after its search business was ruled a monopoly. This is a developing story and will be updated.Final Jeopardy Today December 6, 2024 – Question, Answer, Wages & Winner
