(AP Photo/Mike Stewart) ATLANTA (AP) — Jalen Johnson scored 28 points and the Atlanta Hawks closed out a four-game homestand, winning a third straight contest, 120-110 over the Miami Heat on Saturday. Trae Young added his 22nd double-double of the season, with 11 point and 15 assist, and De'Andre Hunter scored 26 points in his 14th consecutive game with at least 15 points coming off the bench. Tyler Herro scored 28 points and dished out 10 assists and Bam Adebayo added 17 points and 10 rebounds. It was the Heat's fourth game in a row without star Jimmy Butler , who sat out for what the team called “return to competition reconditioning.” Takeaways Heat: Miami lost despite five players finishing with double-digit point totals. The Heat shot 44.4% from the field, but it wasn't enough to overcome a Hawks team that hit over half of its shots, 51.2% from the field. Hawks: Johnson has been on an offensive tear in his last two games. He finished two points shy of his single-game career high of 30 points, set in his last game, on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. Hunter also finished just one point shy of his single-game career high of 27 points. Key moment After a close first half that featured nine lead changes, Atlanta seized control early in the second half. With five minutes to go in the third quarter, Atlanta’s Garrison Mathews and Hunter hit back-to-back 3s to give Atlanta an 81-72 lead, their biggest of the night, and forcing a Miami timeout. Key stat Young finished one assist shy of a franchise single-game record for assists against the Miami Heat, set by Mookie Blaylock in 1993. Up next The Hawks begin a six-game road trip in Toronto on Sunday, while the Heat visits the Rockets on Sunday. ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA Sean Holohan, The Associated Press See a typo/mistake?

STANFORD, Calif. — Andrew Luck is returning to Stanford in hopes of turning around a struggling football program that he once helped become a national power. Athletic director Bernard Muir announced Saturday that Luck has been hired as the general manager of the Stanford football team, tasked with overseeing all aspects of the program that just finished a 3-9 season under coach Troy Taylor. “I am a product of this university, of Nerd Nation; I love this place,” Luck said. “I believe deeply in Stanford’s unique approach to athletics and academics and the opportunity to help drive our program back to the top. Coach Taylor has the team pointed in the right direction, and I cannot wait to work with him, the staff, and the best, brightest, and toughest football players in the world.” Luck has kept a low profile since his surprise retirement from the NFL at age 29 when he announced in August 2019 that he was leaving the Indianapolis Colts and pro football. In his new role, Luck will work with Taylor on recruiting and roster management, and with athletic department and university leadership on fundraising, alumni relations, sponsorships, student-athlete support and stadium experience. “Andrew’s credentials as a student-athlete speak for themselves, and in addition to his legacy of excellence, he also brings a deep understanding of the college football landscape and community, and an unparalleled passion for Stanford football,” Muir said. “I could not think of a person better qualified to guide our football program through a continuously evolving landscape, and I am thrilled that Andrew has agreed to join our team. This change represents a very different way of operating our program and competing in an evolving college football landscape.” Luck was one of the players who helped elevate Stanford into a West Coast powerhouse for several years. He helped end a seven-year bowl drought in his first season as starting quarterback in 2009 under coach Jim Harbaugh and led the Cardinal to back-to-back BCS bowl berths his final two seasons, when he was the Heisman Trophy runner-up both seasons. Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck throws a pass during the first quarter of a Nov. 27, 2010 game against Oregon State in Stanford, Calif. That was part of a seven-year stretch in which Stanford posted the fourth-best record in the nation at 76-18 and qualified for five BCS bowl berths under Harbaugh and David Shaw. But the Cardinal have struggled for success in recent years and haven't won more than four games in a season since 2018. Stanford just finished its fourth straight 3-9 campaign in Taylor's second season since replacing Shaw. The Cardinal are the only power conference team to lose at least nine games in each of the past four seasons. Luck graduated from Stanford with a bachelor’s degree in architectural design and returned after retiring from the NFL to get his master’s degree in education in 2023. He was picked No. 1 overall by Indianapolis in the 2012 draft and made four Pro Bowls and was AP Comeback Player of the Year in 2018 in his brief but successful NFL career. Before the 2023 National Football League season started, it seemed inevitable that Bill Belichick would end his career as the winningest head coach in league history. He had won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and 298 regular-season games, plus 31 playoff games, across his career. Then the 2023 season happened. Belichick's Patriots finished 4-13, the franchise's worst record since 1992. At the end of the year, Belichick and New England owner Robert Kraft agreed to part ways. And now, during the 2024 season, Belichick is on the sideline. He's 26 wins from the #1 spot, a mark he'd reach in little more than two seasons if he maintained his .647 career winning percentage. Will he ascend the summit? It's hard to tell. Belichick would be 73 if he graced the sidelines next season—meaning he'd need to coach until at least 75 to break the all-time mark. Only one other NFL coach has ever helmed a team at age 73: Romeo Crennel in 2020 for the Houston Texans. With Belichick's pursuit of history stalled, it's worth glancing at the legends who have reached the pinnacle of coaching success. Who else stands among the 10 winningest coaches in NFL history? Stacker ranked the coaches with the most all-time regular-season wins using data from Pro Football Reference . These coaches have combined for 36 league championships, which represents 31.6% of all championships won throughout the history of pro football. To learn who made the list, keep reading.

Still, he racked up nearly 200 wins across his 23-year career, including a stint in charge of the New York Giants, with whom he won Coach of the Year in 1993. In all his tenures, he quickly built contenders—the three clubs he coached were a combined 17-31 the year before Reeves joined and 28-20 in his first year. However, his career ended on a sour note as he was fired from a 3-10 Falcons team after Week 14 in 2003. - Seasons coached: 23 - Years active: 1969-91 - Record: 193-148-1 - Winning percentage: .566 - Championships: 4 Chuck Noll's Pittsburgh Steelers were synonymous with success in the 1970s. Behind his defense, known as the Steel Curtain, and offensive stars, including Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, and Lynn Swann, Noll led the squad to four Super Bowl victories from 1974 to 1979. Noll's Steelers remain the lone team to win four Super Bowls in six years, though Andy Reid and Kansas City could equal that mark if they win the Lombardi Trophy this season. Noll was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993, two years after retiring. His legacy of coaching success has carried on in Pittsburgh—the club has had only two coaches (Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin) since Noll retired. - Seasons coached: 21 - Years active: 1984-98, 2001-06 - Record: 200-126-1 - Winning percentage: .613 - Championships: 0 As head coach of Cleveland, Kansas City, Washington, and San Diego, Marty Schottenheimer proved a successful leader during the regular season. Notably, he was named Coach of the Year after turning around his 4-12 Chargers team to a 12-4 record in 2004. His teams, however, struggled during the playoffs. Schottheimer went 5-13 in the postseason, and he never made it past the conference championship round. As such, the Pennsylvania-born skipper is the winningest NFL coach never to win a league championship. - Seasons coached: 25 - Years active: 1946-62, '68-75 - Record: 213-104-9 - Winning percentage: .672 - Championships: 7 The only coach on this list to pilot a college team, Paul Brown, reached the pro ranks after a three-year stint at Ohio State and two years with the Navy during World War II. He guided the Cleveland Browns—named after Brown, their first coach—to four straight titles in the fledgling All-America Football Conference. After the league folded, the ballclub moved to the NFL in 1950, and Cleveland continued its winning ways, with Brown leading the team to championships in '50, '54, and '55. He was fired in 1963 but returned in 1968 as the co-founder and coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. His other notable accomplishments include helping to invent the face mask and breaking pro football's color barrier . - Seasons coached: 33 - Years active: 1921-53 - Record: 226-132-22 - Winning percentage: .631 - Championships: 6 An early stalwart of the NFL, Curly Lambeau spent 29 years helming the Green Bay Packers before wrapping up his coaching career with two-year stints with the Chicago Cardinals and Washington. His Packers won titles across three decades, including the league's first three-peat from 1929-31. Notably, he experienced only one losing season during his first 27 years with Green Bay, cementing his legacy of consistent success. Born in Green Bay, Lambeau co-founded the Packers and played halfback on the team from 1919-29. He was elected to the Hall of Fame as a coach and owner in 1963, two years before his death.

The Cowboys were especially dominant in the 1970s when they made five Super Bowls and won the big game twice. Landry was known for coaching strong all-around squads and a unit that earned the nickname the "Doomsday Defense." Between 1966 and 1985, Landry and his Cowboys enjoyed 20 straight seasons with a winning record.

After reaching the Super Bowl once in 14 years with the Eagles, Reid ratcheted things up with K.C., winning three titles since 2019. As back-to-back defending champions, Reid and Co. are looking this season to become the first franchise to three-peat in the Super Bowl era and the third to do so in NFL history after the Packers of 1929-31 and '65-67.

Generative Artificial Intelligence AI In Corporate Tax Management Global Market To Reach $5.46 Billion By 2028The peregrine falcon, the bird with the fastest diving speed in the world, and also a rare visitor to Singapore, has been recorded nesting here for the first time. This is significant, as little is known about the breeding habits of this species in tropical areas. This also makes for the first breeding pair of peregrine falcons here, which means that the species might be Singapore's rarest breeding bird. Photo from Max Khoo, NParks Falcons spotted mating In a biodiversity record published in scientific journal Nature in Singapore on Aug. 30, a falcon was spotted flying around the SingTel building along Pickering Street on Jan. 30 earlier this year. Photo from Max Khoo, NParks A day later, a pair of falcons were seen copulating on the One George Street building, and the female then entered a recess 37 floors up on the exterior of the OCBC Centre building later that night. The pair was observed copulating a second time on Feb. 1, and the female then disappeared into the recess. To monitor the falcons' activity, remote cameras were placed on the balcony below the recess, and a telescopic tripod with a camera was raised to the recess to determine the breeding status of the pair. Although two eggs were seen sitting on the bare concrete on Apr. 23, the adult falcons were not seen incubating the eggs or flying to the nest. Several months later, the eggs were still there, with no parents attending to them. Photo from SUTD Unsuitable nesting substrate Although this was the first time that peregrine falcons were seen nesting in Singapore, the breeding unfortunately turned out to be unsuccessful, as the eggs were abandoned. The biodiversity record, which was submitted by National Parks Board (NParks) researchers including Malcolm Soh and Max Khoo from the Wildlife Management Research team, stated that the eggs could have been abandoned due to unsuitable nesting substrate. Peregrine falcons typically nest on loose gravel where they can hollow out a space for the eggs, or occasionally, abandoned nests from other birds. Photo from Malcolm Soh, NParks "It is therefore likely that the absence of suitable substrate in the recess may have impeded nesting success," Soh said in a statement to Mothership . Inspired by claw machines The eggs were retrieved with the help of a team of robotics researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), using a device called the Egg Retrieval and Nesting Enhancement Support Tool (ERNEST). Associate Professor Foong Shaohui, who led the SUTD team, told Mothership that the name ERNEST is a play on the peregrine falcon's species name, Falco peregrinus ernesti . "And the name includes the word 'nest'," he quipped. NParks and SUTD researchers. Photo from NParks The SUTD team initially considered deploying one of their existing devices, a drone which had a grabber attached to it. However, when the team surveyed the balcony area, they said it was too small to deploy a drone and conditions were too windy so high up. Additionally, a permit would need to be acquired to fly the drone. Inspired by claw machines at the arcade and cranes used to pick up containers at ports, the team combined the drone's grabber with a 10m telescopic pole, which can reach the eggs in the recess. ERNEST was thus born after a month of development. Photo from NParks Video by Ashley Tan The extension of the grabber can be controlled by cables on the ground, and the opening and closing of the grabber, by a remote. A demonstration of the grabber with some replica eggs. Video by Ashley Tan Retrieving the eggs was a finicky process. However, it only took around an hour — much faster, safer and efficient than the alternative option of setting up a scaffold for someone to climb up and grab the eggs themselves, Foong said. Video from SUTD And success. Photo from NParks Eggs were badly decomposed The eggs were sent to Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum (LKCNHM), Faculty of Science, National University of Singapore, where they were examined by Tan Yen Yi, assistant senior curator of birds. Photo from NParks Although both eggs were mostly similar in size, one egg was noticeably heavier and almost twice the weight of the other, Soh said. The lighter egg had a small crack and a strong sulphurous smell, which meant that it had decomposed. Soh shared that the decomposition was likely due to a "bacterial invasion through its compromised shell". The heavier egg meanwhile, was intact and preliminary candling revealed a viable but likely non-fertile egg. Its contents were also decomposed, but to a lesser extent than the lighter one. These observations suggest that the eggs may have been abandoned "due to shell damage", Soh said. Helping to improve the falcons' nesting success Peregrine falcons have been observed around the Central Business District area since 2017, and pairs have been observed copulating in the area in December 2022 and January 2023. This shows that the species has adapted well to urban environments here. Photo from Max Khoo, NParks Evidence of the falcons' presence was observed at OCBC Centre — these were the remains of a pigeon meal on the balcony ledge below the recess, found on Nov. 15. Photo by Ashley Tan Nevertheless, while peregrine falcons might be "one of the most studied avian species in the world, hardly anything is known about its breeding in tropical latitudes," the biodiversity record wrote. "While the peregrine falcon is extensively studied in temperate and cold latitudes, there remains a significant gap in our understanding of its breeding behaviour in tropical latitudes." As such, continued monitoring and research are key to better understanding the breeding behaviour of the species here. To further improve the nesting success of the falcons, Soh recommended placing a nesting tray with loose gravel in the recess of the OCBC Centre building, which will act as a more suitable nesting substrate. The tray has a CCTV attached to it as well. Photo from NParks These were set up in the recess on Nov. 22 by workers who had to scale a scaffold. Photo from NParks Photo from NParks OCBC is also donating S$10,000 to support the installation of the nesting tray and CCTV system, which will monitor the falcons' breeding cycle. Koh Ching Ching, OCBC's head of group brand and communications, said: "It is an unusual instance for wildlife to set up homes within the central business district. We are embracing the wonders of this surprise right outside our office windows. Given our longstanding relationship with NParks, we are happy to play a small part in their quest to learn more about this rare breed of peregrine falcon. It is sometimes said that when a bird chooses to nest at your home, it can bring good luck to the owner.” Hopefully, falcon babies soon The nesting period for peregrine falcons is expected to be between January and early February 2025. If nesting is successful, the eggs are expected to hatch in March 2025, with chicks fledging in April 2025. "The research team will continue to monitor the nest site for subsequent breeding cycles and maintain the nest if needed, such as removing debris and replacing the nesting tray substrate," Soh said. Not only will this help to "provide deeper insight into the breeding biology and foraging preferences" of the species, it can help inform conservation strategies to support the falcons' existence in urban Singapore.

FANS of Manchester rivals City and United are the biggest illegal streamers of the Premier League, stats show. There were one million dodgy viewings of this season’s Community Shield featuring the teams. And the Manchester derby is 33 per cent more likely to be viewed illegally than any other fixture in the division. Overall, there are 287 illegal streams per 100,000 fans in the Manchester area — likely for games involving City or United. Footie supporters in Newcastle were the next biggest offenders at 270 illicit showings per 100,000. Birmingham , Liverpool , Wolverhampton and Leeds also feature in the list. Read more on illegal streaming Betting site Footy Accumulators came up with its table by analysing online search data for illegal football streaming by area on match days. Its researchers found there were 700,000 illegal streams per Premier League match. And with 1.8 million per game worldwide, it means the UK is responsible for almost 40 per cent of such showings. A spokesman said: “Our results clearly show Manchester is the UK’s number one hotspot for illegal football streaming followed by the fanatical fans of Newcastle United . “Every Premier League game is a must-watch for die-hard fans but there is no excuse for illegal streaming.” Most read in Football But the illegal streaming table was not restricted to areas with top-flight teams. Plymouth , who have never played in the Premier League, had 211 per 100,000.

Christmas in post-Assad Syria tainted by fears for minority's futureNico Iamaleava passed for four touchdowns and Dylan Sampson rushed for 77 yards and set a school-record for TDs as No. 11 Tennessee rolled to a 56-0 victory over UTEP on Saturday afternoon in Knoxville, Tenn. Sampson scored on a 14-yard TD run early in the second quarter for the game's first points to deliver his 22nd TD of tje season to break the Tennessee single-season mark set by Gene McEvers in 1929. Iamaleava was 15 of 20 for 173 yards for Tennessee (9-2), while Bru McCoy caught a pair of TD passes and Squirrel White and Ethan Davis each had a TD reception. Tennessee moved its all-time record to 2-0 against the Miners, also having blanked the Conference USA school 24-0 in 2018. Jermod McCoy and John Slaughter had interceptions for the Volunteers, while Dominic Bailey recovered a fumble to set up a score. Skyler Locklear was 10-of-19 passing for 50 yards with an interception for UTEP (2-9), while rushing for 37 yards on eight carries. JP Pickles also had a turn at QB for the Miners and was 10 of 15 for 72 yards. Kenny Odom had eight receptions for 70 yards. Both defenses set the tone in the first quarter. The UTEP defense allowed just one first down to the Southeastern Conference team in three ugly series in the opening quarter and only 22 yards. In the second quarter, Sampson ended a 68-yard drive by dashing up the middle for 14 yards for the record-setting score to take a 7-0 lead with 13:22 remaining before halftime. After Bailey's fumble recovery, Iamaleava flipped a screen pass that White took 9 yards to the end zone nearly six minutes later. Davis put the Volunteers up 21-0 when he grabbed a short pass for a 1-yard TD. Iamaleava then found Bru McCoy from 18 yards with eight seconds left in the second quarter for a 28-0 halftime lead. McCoy caught his second TD and Peyton Lewis rushed for a pair for a 49-0 lead in the third quarter, but the biggest roar from Volunteers fans came when it was announced Florida beat No. 9 Ole Miss 24-17, to enhance the Volunteers' College Football Playoff hopes. Cameron Seldon's 3-yard run capped the scoring as the Volunteers finished the season undefeated at home for the second time in four years. --Field Level MediaAC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca has praised Samuel Chukwueze’s defensive work rate in their 3-0 victory over Empoli at the San Siro on Sunday, PUNCH Sports Extra reports. The Super Eagles winger, who was named in the starting lineup for Milan’s 3-2 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava last week, was relegated to the bench with Yunus Musah preferred on the right wing as the Rossoneri extended their unbeaten run to six games in all competitions. Speaking after the match, which saw Tijjani Reijnders bag a brace after Alvaro Morata’s opener, Fonseca explained his tactical decision while highlighting Chukwueze’s impact after coming on as a substitute. “I’m really enjoying Musah there. Empoli played a lot of long balls and it was important to have this role to help the team. I was also very pleased with the way Chukwueze played this role, who came back into the box twice to play fifth. This module gives us balance,” Fonseca said at the post-match conference. The 24-year-old nearly grabbed an assist late in the game when his cross found Tammy Abraham at the back post, but the English striker could only shoot wide from point-blank range. Related News Chukwueze set for first UCL start Besiktas eye January move for Chukwueze Eagles fail to make Iwobi sing new song ‘What’s Luv’ Chukwueze has struggled to nail down a regular starting spot since his summer move to Milan, making 13 appearances across all competitions with just one goal to his name. His situation has reportedly attracted interest from Turkish giants Besiktas, who are considering a January move for the former Villarreal man. However, Milan view the Nigerian international as crucial cover for Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao, which could complicate any potential transfer despite Besiktas’s eagerness to add the winger to their ranks. Chukwueze will hope he gets more starting opportunities as Milan look to maintain their recent upturn in form following a difficult start to the season.
