ATLANTA (AP) — Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer who tried to restore virtue to the White House after the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, then rebounded from a landslide defeat to become a global advocate of human rights and democracy, has died. He was 100 years old . The Carter Center said the 39th president died Sunday afternoon, more than a year after entering hospice care , at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died in November 2023, lived most of their lives. The center said he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. As reaction poured in from around the world, President Joe Biden mourned Carter’s death, saying the world lost an “extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian” and he lost a dear friend. Biden cited Carter’s compassion and moral clarity, his work to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless and advocacy for the disadvantaged as an example for others. “To all of the young people in this nation and for anyone in search of what it means to live a life of purpose and meaning – the good life – study Jimmy Carter, a man of principle, faith, and humility,” Biden said in a statement. “He showed that we are a great nation because we are a good people – decent and honorable, courageous and compassionate, humble and strong.” Biden said he is ordering a state funeral for Carter in Washington. A moderate Democrat, Carter ran for president in 1976 as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad grin, effusive Baptist faith and technocratic plans for efficient government. His promise to never deceive the American people resonated after Richard Nixon’s disgrace and U.S. defeat in southeast Asia. “If I ever lie to you, if I ever make a misleading statement, don’t vote for me. I would not deserve to be your president,” Carter said. Carter’s victory over Republican Gerald Ford, whose fortunes fell after pardoning Nixon, came amid Cold War pressures, turbulent oil markets and social upheaval over race, women’s rights and America’s role in the world. His achievements included brokering Mideast peace by keeping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at Camp David for 13 days in 1978. But his coalition splintered under double-digit inflation and the 444-day hostage crisis in Iran. His negotiations ultimately brought all the hostages home alive, but in a final insult, Iran didn’t release them until the inauguration of Ronald Reagan, who had trounced him in the 1980 election. Humbled and back home in Georgia, Carter said his faith demanded that he keep doing whatever he could, for as long as he could, to try to make a difference. He and Rosalynn co-founded The Carter Center in 1982 and spent the next 40 years traveling the world as peacemakers, human rights advocates and champions of democracy and public health. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Carter helped ease nuclear tensions in North and South Korea, avert a U.S. invasion of Haiti and negotiate cease-fires in Bosnia and Sudan. By 2022, the center had monitored at least 113 elections around the world. Carter was determined to eradicate guinea worm infections as one of many health initiatives. Swinging hammers into their 90s, the Carters built homes with Habitat for Humanity. The common observation that he was better as an ex-president rankled Carter. His allies were pleased that he lived long enough to see biographers and historians revisit his presidency and declare it more impactful than many understood at the time. Propelled in 1976 by voters in Iowa and then across the South, Carter ran a no-frills campaign. Americans were captivated by the earnest engineer, and while an election-year Playboy interview drew snickers when he said he “had looked on many women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times,” voters tired of political cynicism found it endearing. The first family set an informal tone in the White House, carrying their own luggage, trying to silence the Marine Band’s traditional “Hail to the Chief" and enrolling daughter, Amy, in public schools. Carter was lampooned for wearing a cardigan and urging Americans to turn down their thermostats. But Carter set the stage for an economic revival and sharply reduced America's dependence on foreign oil by deregulating the energy industry along with airlines, trains and trucking. He established the departments of Energy and Education, appointed record numbers of women and nonwhites to federal posts, preserved millions of acres of Alaskan wilderness and pardoned most Vietnam draft evaders. Emphasizing human rights , he ended most support for military dictators and took on bribery by multinational corporations by signing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. He persuaded the Senate to ratify the Panama Canal treaties and normalized relations with China, an outgrowth of Nixon’s outreach to Beijing. But crippling turns in foreign affairs took their toll. When OPEC hiked crude prices, making drivers line up for gasoline as inflation spiked to 11%, Carter tried to encourage Americans to overcome “a crisis of confidence.” Many voters lost confidence in Carter instead after the infamous address that media dubbed his “malaise" speech, even though he never used that word. After Carter reluctantly agreed to admit the exiled Shah of Iran to the U.S. for medical treatment, the American Embassy in Tehran was overrun in 1979. Negotiations to quickly free the hostages broke down, and then eight Americans died when a top-secret military rescue attempt failed. Carter also had to reverse course on the SALT II nuclear arms treaty after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979. Though historians would later credit Carter's diplomatic efforts for hastening the end of the Cold war, Republicans labeled his soft power weak. Reagan’s “make America great again” appeals resonated, and he beat Carter in all but six states. Born Oct. 1, 1924, James Earl Carter Jr. married fellow Plains native Rosalynn Smith in 1946, the year he graduated from the Naval Academy. He brought his young family back to Plains after his father died, abandoning his Navy career, and they soon turned their ambitions to politics . Carter reached the state Senate in 1962. After rural white and Black voters elected him governor in 1970, he drew national attention by declaring that “the time for racial discrimination is over.” Carter published more than 30 books and remained influential as his center turned its democracy advocacy onto U.S. politics, monitoring an audit of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results. After a 2015 cancer diagnosis, Carter said he felt “perfectly at ease with whatever comes.” “I’ve had a wonderful life,” he said. “I’ve had thousands of friends, I’ve had an exciting, adventurous and gratifying existence.” Sanz is a former Associated Press reporter.Sportscasting Legend Greg Gumbel Dead At 78 After Cancer Battle‘Deplorable’: Dutton laments PM’s response to antisemitismVarsity Maine football poll – Nov. 25, 2024

2 'Strong-Buy' Energy Dividend Stocks With 51% to 72% Upside in 2025Nebraska will be trying to preserve its perfect in-state record when it hosts South Dakota on Wednesday night in a nonconference game in Lincoln, Neb. The Cornhuskers (4-1) are 3-0 at home and also won Friday at then-No. 14 Creighton, beating their in-state rivals on the road for the second straight time. But the last time they did that, in 2022, they followed that win with a 16-point loss at Indiana to open Big Ten Conference play. "Believe me, we've addressed a lot of things," Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said. "A lot of people are saying some really positive things. You've got to find a way to put that behind you. I've liked how our team has responded and come back to work after that great win at Creighton." Brice Williams leads the Cornhuskers with 18.2 points per game and was one of five players in double figures against Creighton. Juwan Gary topped the list with 16. South Dakota (6-2) comes to town off a 112-50 home win Monday night over Randall, the third non-Division I school it has beat. The Coyotes' last game against a D1 opponent was Friday at Southern Indiana, resulting in a 92-83 loss. This will be South Dakota's second nonconference game against a Big Ten opponent, after a 96-77 loss at Iowa on Nov. 12. In December, the Coyotes also visit Santa Clara, hovering near the top 100 in KenPom adjusted efficiency, before jumping into Big Sky play. "The schedule is very good and that should help us," third-year South Dakota coach Eric Peterson said before the season. "We have some good nonconference games that should help prepare us for the end of the season." Nebraska has held four of its opponents to 67 or fewer points, with Saint Mary's the only one to top that number in the Cornhuskers' lone loss. Opponents are shooting 38.1 percent this season. South Dakota shot below 40 percent in its two previous games before shooting 62 percent against Randall. Isaac Bruns, who scored 20 to lead South Dakota in the Randall game, paces the Coyotes with 12.9 points per game. --Field Level Media

Dec. 29—The Eagles clinched the NFC East on Sunday in a dominant 41-7 win over the rival Dallas Cowboys. The Birds were led by Kenny Pickett before he suffered a rib injury after a big hit in the third quarter. In the Birds' win, Saquon Barkley cemented his place in NFL history and with Pickett out of the game, Tanner McKee saw the first NFL minutes of his career. As the Birds clinched the division, there were a lot of big moments that took place on the broadcast. If you spent your Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field or in the parking lots, here are some of the best and worst moments from the Eagles' broadcast. Philly fans troll Jerry Jones Eagles fans gave Jerry Jones and the Cowboys a warm welcome on Sunday as their division rivals flew into enemy territory. Ahead of kickoff, Philly fans trolled Cowboys owner Jones, throwing shade at the team's failures this season. "Keep doing the job you're doing, Jerry. We love you in Philly," said a fan in a video captured by NBC Sports Philadelphia. "I know you do," Jones responded. "I'm trying to live up to my standard this year for you." Sunday's loss to the Eagles meant the Cowboys went 0-2 against their division rivals. It comes as no surprise why the Philly fans are commending Jones for his efforts this season. Greg Olsen returns After Fox's Greg Olsen left Philly fans unhappy with his commentary during the Eagles-Commanders broadcast, he was back on the call for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys. As the Washington Commanders rallied back from a 27-14 deficit, Philly fans accused Olsen of bias during the broadcast. The main criticism from fans was that both Olsen and play-by-play announcer Joe Davis didn't emphasize the impact of Jalen Hurts getting knocked out the game early enough. Olsen responded to the criticism on social media. After last week, fans weren't too excited to see that Davis and Olsen were back on the call for another Eagles game. Pickett gets a standing ovation A Pickett standing ovation wasn't on many NFL fans 2024 bingo cards. But all that changed on Sunday in the Birds win over the Cowboys. As Pickett headed into the locker room with the Birds leading 24-7 at the half, fans rose to their feet to applaud the backup quarterback in his first start with the Eagles. After a slow start, Pickett was 9-for-14 for 133 yards with a touchdown through the air and on the ground before he went to the locker room in the third quarter. The Eagles later announced Pickett as questionable with a rib injury after he was hit by Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons. The quarterback received another big ovation as he walked off the field. Despite leaving the game early, Sunday's game was a memorable moment for Pickett — from growing up an Eagles fan in New Jersey to receiving a standing ovation at the Linc while helping his favorite team clinch the division. But this wasn't the only praise Pickett received on Sunday. Ahead of the game, former Eagles quarterback and analyst Michael Vick commended Pickett on FOX NFL Kickoff. "Kenny Pickett with one week to prepare, I expect him to look a lot better than he did last week and this is a statement game for Kenny Pickett," Vick said. "If he goes out and wins this game, he could be a starter in this league. I do think he has that type of talent. But it's going to start today because Dallas isn't going to hold anything back." Big Dom retrieves McKee's TD ball Ahead of the game, Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson and quarterback Pickett showed love to "Big" Dom DiSandro — sporting a hoodie, featuring DiSandro as "The Godfather." DiSandro can be seen on the hoodie wearing a tuxedo and holding a football. That image came to life in the second half of Sunday's game — of course, without the tuxedo. After McKee stepped in for Pickett in the third quarter, the quarterback threw his first career touchdown pass to A.J. Brown. Without thinking, Brown launched the ball into the crowd. Fortunately for McKee, Big Dom was there to save the day. The Eagles' chief security officer put on his best Don Vito Corleone impression and retrieved the ball from the fan. Here's a different angle from the broadcast. Cowboys and Eagles brawl A few brawls are expected when the Eagles face off against the Cowboys. With the Eagles up, 41-7, they sent a punt into the Cowboys' end zone. As special teams converged, Cowboys receiver Jalen Brooks and Eagles defensive back Sydney Brown became tangled. After that, a huge brawl broke out with Brown grabbing Cowboys cornerback Troy Pride near the tunnel, igniting a larger skirmish with more players getting involved — pushing and shoving one another in the final moments of the game. Brown, Brooks, and Pride were all ejected with less than three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Michael Strahan on Barkley's MVP chances In one of the most significant acquisitions of 2024, the former New York Giants running back Barkley signed a three-year, $37.75 million contract with the Eagles. Since his arrival, the two-time Pro Bowl has put on an MVP-caliber season. With Barkley's success in Philadelphia, there has been an increase in fans and analysts arguing for Barkley to win NFL MVP — including former Giants defensive end Michael Strahan. "Saquon Barkley, what can this guy not do? What hasn't he done?" Strahan said ahead of the game on Fox NFL Sunday. "This is a position that everybody said, 'You don't need a running back anymore. Don't pay those guys that much money.' He's completely shown them that the running back position is so essential. He leads the league in rushing. No. 2 in touchdowns. He still has two games to go. 268 yards and he breaks Eric Dickerson's rushing record. How do you not give a guy — who, if he does that — how do you not give him MVP?" Dickerson's record has stood for 40 years, 13 years before Barkley was born. Barkley currently has 2,005 yards, leaving him 100 yards away from the record with one game remaining.
