234win 222 casino login CEO killer suspect: golden boy who soured on US health systemNoneFOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots are focused on the future following their 25-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts . The Patriots (3-10) were officially eliminated from playoff contention with the loss Sunday, meaning that this week’s bye in many ways will begin the process of the coaching staff and front office evaluating the roster for 2025. The good news is that this group has shown plenty of grit this season, playing seven games that were decided by one score. The bad news is that the Patriots are just 2-5 in those games. Though New England’s bye comes late in the season, coach Jerod Mayo said the timing is perfect for a team that is feeling the effects of its shortcomings . “A much-needed bye week, not only physically for the players but also mentally, just being able to hit the reset button and come back, put some good games together and continue to build for the future,” Mayo said. “That has to be our goal.” Tight end Austin Hooper said the seed that needs to be planted over the final four games is finding a way to limit the mistakes — namely penalties and trouble finishing drives — that have hampered the offense throughout the season. “We’ve got to execute at a higher level. We can’t beat a team before you stop hurting yourself,” Hooper said. “It’s not for lack of effort, just things that happen out there that get you scars in this league.” This was the most balanced performance by the offense this season, with 222 passing yards and a season-high 200 yards rushing. It shows progress under new coordinator Alex Van Pelt, which is something to build on over the final four games. Red zone efficiency. It continues to be the most glaring deficiency for the Patriots’ offense. They were 2 of 6 on Sunday and rank 30th in the NFL, scoring a touchdown only 44.7% (17 of 38) of the time inside the 20-yard line. TE Hunter Henry. He finished with seven catches for 75 yards, which is his seventh game this season with five or more receptions. He leads the team this season with 58 catches for 610 yards and continues to be a dependable option for quarterback Drake May as he navigates his rookie season. K Joey Slye. He made 3 of his 5 field-goal attempts, including a 54-yarder in the second quarter. Most of the conversation following the game was about his NFL record-long 68-yard attempt that came up short as time expired. But because of the 1-point loss, he was lamenting the 25-yard attempt he missed wide left just before halftime. “I take full responsibility for this,” Slye said. “Every point for this team matters with how we play complementary football with offense, defense and special teams. So, whenever I am out there, I have got to score points.” Henry left the game in the first quarter after a helmet-to-helmet hit. He was able to return in the second quarter and finished the game. 7 — Number of penalties called on the Patriots, costing them 88 yards. Five penalties (four accepted) were called on the offensive line. That included one for holding on Mike Onwenu that nullified a touchdown run by Rhamondre Stevenson in the first quarter and forced New England to settle for a field goal. The Patriots have a bye this week. They visit the Arizona Cardinals on Dec. 15. AP NFL coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLNone

An Ekiti State Magistrates’ Court in Ado Ekiti, on Tuesday, sent lawyer and activist, Dele Farotimi, back to prison after the police vehemently opposed his application for bail, accusing him of intimidating witnesses. The magistrate adjourned till December 20 to rule on whether or not to admit Farotimi to bail following the stiff opposition by the police. The police are prosecuting Farotimi on the allegation that he defamed legal luminary and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Aare Afe Babalola. According to the police, the activist lawyer defamed Babalola in his book titled, ‘Nigeria and its Criminal Justice System.’ Following his arrest in Lagos State last Tuesday, the police took Farotimi to Ekiti State and arraigned him last Wednesday before the Ado Ekiti magistrates’ court where he pleaded not guilty to the charges. Last week, the magistrate, Abayomi Adeosun, rejected an oral bail application by Farotimi’s lawyer, insisting that a formal bail application should be filed and adjourned till December 10. At the resumed hearing on Tuesday, the defence counsel, Taiwo Adedeji, urged the magistrate to admit his client to bail, noting that the offence against him is bailable. “The alleged offences are bailable. Again, the defendant should be considered innocent until the contrary is proved. “The defendant is a lawyer with a fixed address with 25 years unblemished record and his name is on the roll of legal practitioners of the Supreme Court and others. The defendant has undertaken to make himself available whenever his attention is needed,” Adedeji said. He urged the court to discountenance all that was contained in the prosecution’s counter-affidavit and grant bail to the defendant. But the prosecuting counsel for the police, Samson Osodu, vehemently opposed the bail application, contending that Farotimi would likely jump bail. The police prosecutor also described the defendant as “a social media influencer, who, despite being brought to this court, has been intimidating our witnesses, nominal complainant.” Related News Human Rights Day: Farotimi’s detention signals impunity, rights violations - Atiku VIDEO: Alleged defamation: Dele Farotimi appears at Ado-Ekiti Magistrate court Defamation: Farotimi gets N50m bail, to submit passport According to the prosecutor, Farotimi had also said many times that he does not believe in the judicial system. Besides, he argued that “The affidavit brought by the defendants is not competent because it was deposed to by a litigation clerk.” Earlier, Osodu had opposed the appearance of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika, to defend Farotimi. After taking arguments from the parties, the chief magistrate, Adeosun, adjourned till December 20 to rule on the bail application. Meanwhile, the planned protest slated for Ekiti State Command Headquarters of Nigeria Police Force organised by the Take it Back Movement failed to hold on Tuesday as no protester was seen in sight. A community leader and the Olotin of Ado Ekiti, Chief Michael Osaloni, had on Monday cautioned those planning to stage a protest in the state on Tuesday “to steer clear of Ekiti as they would not like the outcome, they should, in their own interest shelve it or else face the consequences”. The Police Public Relations Officer, Ekiti State Police Command, Sunday Abutu, had also earlier warned against protests in the state. “The state here is peaceful, the metro here is peaceful. There is no protest here in Ekiti. As a matter of fact, nobody informed us officially that there would be any protest, we just heard it through rumour. “Though protest is the right of everyone, when we heard about that, we warned that people should desist from unlawful protest. We are happy Ekiti is peaceful. We are glad and we appreciate the good people of Ekiti State for not joining any form of illegal protest to put the state in a state of chaos,” the PPRO said. In his reaction to the court ruling, the 2023 presidential candidate of African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, stated on his X handle, “The ruling on @delefarotimi’s bail application was today adjourned till December 20. “@DeleFarotimi has been sent back to prison for the next 10 days. See what begging has done? #FreeDeleFarotimiNow,” Sowore stated Recall that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, had on Monday visited Afe Babalola in Ado Ekiti to plead with him over the case of Farotimi, a move Sowore condemned on his X-handle, saying, “I condemn those who went to beg Chief Afe Babalola today (Monday) over the unjust detention and persecution of @DeleFarotimi”.Once again, there is a temporary federal budget, and people can thus enjoy a "relaxed" holiday season. But nothing has been solved; the key issues have not been addressed; it’s all window-dressing. Trump and Musk failed to muscle the Republicans to submit under their control and to lift all debt ceilings in perpetuity (whew!). The US has already reached a tipping point with $36 trillion in debt. Banks find this very profitable because we all owe them $106,000 per person per year. We tremendously overspend in healthcare, bureaucracy, the military, and, above all, tax cuts for the rich. Trump has plenty of experience with not paying his taxes or debts, like lots of other billionaires that suck our country dry. Once he gets into power, we are set to be on a wild ride down a slippery slope, but voters supported him and a whole bunch of dysfunctional congressmen and -women. Fiscal responsibility is apparently an abominable term across the political aisles these days. Albrecht Classen Midtown Disclaimer: As submitted to the Arizona Daily Star.

When it comes to science, there’s something to be said for longevity. Consider the Lamprey River. The Lamprey, which flows 212 miles from Northwood through Durham to Newmarket, isn’t exactly a huge river but it is the largest contributor of fresh water to the Great Bay. That means it is also the largest source of the nutrients which are vital to the bay but also the largest source of excess nutrients that can overwhelm the bay from runoff. Keeping track of what is happening over the years would help understand how to cope with similar situations throughout the state. Fortunately, that’s what we’re doing. “It’s a watershed going through the process of suburbanization, like many places in New Hampshire,” said Adam Wymore, an associate professor at UNH who recently became the new director of the New Hampshire Water Resources Center. “The landscape is slowly changing as society is changing and it’s a great place to track those changes and the implications for our water resources.” Since 1999 the center has been observing the Lamprey River in a project started under its former director, recently retired Bill McDowell. For two and a half decades, researchers and students have collected data about the changing water flow, levels of nitrogen and greenhouse gases and dissolved organic matter, calibrating the effect of development throughout the watershed as well as the changing climate. That latter point is significant. “You can only track something like climate change with long-term records. ... A 3-year project is great in many ways but you can’t track that kind of change with it,” said Wymore. The data is specific to the Lamprey but can be generalized to similar watersheds in the state and region. And our towns and cities are going to need all the information they can get in coming years if we want to keep our streams and rivers from getting overwhelmed. Article continues after... Cross|Word Flipart Typeshift SpellTower Really Bad Chess This research isn’t actually the main job of the UNH-based New Hampshire Water Resources Center. Its founding principle is to distribute grants for research related to water quality and quantity in New Hampshire. The center, one of 54 set up in every state and territory, runs a competitive grants program using money from Congress passed through the U.S. Geological Center. The program was established in the 1960s because we realized that only government money can ensure long-term projects like this. A decade ago I wouldn’t have cared too much about it, to be honest. New England has always been in a pretty good spot hydrology-wise – not too wet, not too dry – so what’s the big deal? But the climate emergency, with its biblical floods followed by flash droughts, has shaken my complacency. “We’re bouncing between extremes. 2023-24 was an extraordinarily wet year, and all of a sudden the faucet turned off,” said Wymore, referencing our current drought. “This has brought uncertainty into our daily management of life.” Wymore, a Massachusetts native who came to UNH as a post-doc 11 years ago, has been assistant director of the center since 2020. He says the main change he sees happening is that it has become “very centered on the effects of climate change.” “Climate change introduces a level of uncertainty which we are still grappling with. ... That is really the new urgent priority: how that interacts with changes in land use, with population growth. It’s the interaction of those factors that we need to understand,” he said. Which brings us back to long-term studies: “Continuity is really important for the questions that we’re asking.” At this point I’m afraid I can’t avoid politics. The Trump Administration’s blueprint for action, Project 2525, would gut the USGS with the idea that private companies will take over the useful bits and somehow do it better. But there is absolutely, positively no way that private interests would fund 25 years of measuring chemistry and hydrology on an unexciting river when they can’t monetize the result. If we destroy accumulated expertise and experience in the name of simplistic “market good, government bad” thinking, then the measurement will stop and we will be more ignorant. Ignorance isn’t good, folks. Let’s not do that. David Brooks can be reached at dbrooks@cmonitor.comAlex Ovechkin has a broken left fibula and is expected to be out four to six weeks, an injury that pauses the Washington Capitals superstar captain’s pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s NHL career goals record. The Capitals updated Ovechkin’s status Thursday after he was evaluated by team doctors upon returning from a three-game trip. The 39-year-old broke the leg in a shin-on-shin collision Monday night with Utah's Jack McBain, and some of his closest teammates knew it was not good news even before Ovechkin was listed as week to week and placed on injured reserve.
