Kaylene Smikle scored 16 points and made a couple key baskets down the stretch to help No. 10 Maryland women’s basketball hold off George Mason, 66-56, in a matchup of unbeatens Saturday at the Navy Classic in Annapolis. The Terps (7-0) led by just two when Smikle stole the ball and made a layup while being fouled. The free throw pushed the lead to 58-53. Then a putback by Smikle put Maryland up by seven. The Terps won despite shooting 13 of 26 on free throws. George Mason (6-1) trailed by 10 at halftime before outscoring Maryland 18-7 in the third quarter. The Patriots’ final lead was 49-48 in the fourth after a jumper by Kennedy Harris. Harris led George Mason with 26 points. Maryland is off to its best start since winning its first 12 games in 2018-19. The Patriots have lost all nine meetings with Maryland, but it’s been more competitive of late. The Terps won 86-77 last year, and this game was more competitive than the final score suggested. After a down season by their standards, the Terps are off to a nice start, but the free throw problems in this game nearly cost them. Related Articles With the score 55-53, George Mason had a chance to tie, but the Patriots never really recovered after Smikle swiped the ball from Harris and went the other way for a three-point play with 3:08 remaining. Although Maryland was awful at the line, at least the Terps got there. George Mason was only 3 of 8 from the stripe, and the Terps held the Patriots to 32% shooting from the field.

The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits held steady last week, though continuing claims rose to the highest level in three years. ET Year-end Special Reads Corporate Kalesh: Top family disputes of India Inc in 2024 The world of business lost these eminent people in 2024 Fast, faster, fastest: How 2024 put more speed into your shopping Jobless claim applications ticked down by 1,000 to 219,000 for the week of December 21, the Labor Department reported Thursday. That’s fewer than the 223,000 analysts forecast, as per an AP report. Continuing claims, the total number of Americans collecting jobless benefits, climbed by 46,000 to 1.91 million for the week of December 14. That's more than analysts projected and the most since the week of November 13, 2021 when the labor market was still recovering from the COVID-19 jobs wipeout in the spring of 2020, AP reported. The rising level of continuing claims suggests that some who are receiving benefits are finding it harder to land new jobs. That could mean that demand for workers is waning, even though the economy remains strong. The four-week average of weekly claims, which quiets some of the week-to-week volatility, inched up by 1,000 to 226,500. Weekly applications for jobless benefits are considered representative of U.S. layoffs.

The Federal Reserve instituted a series of rate increases in 2022 and into 2023 to try to tame the four-decade high inflation that emerged during the U.S. economy’s rebound from a brief but sharp pandemic recession. The Fed last week cut its benchmark interest rate for the third straight time in response to broadly receding inflation, though it remains above the U.S. central bank’s target of 2 per cent. The Fed caught markets off guard when it projected just two rate cuts in 2025, down from the previous forecast of four. Earlier this month, the government reported that U.S. job openings rebounded to 7.7 million in October from a 3 1/2 year low of 7.4 million in September, a sign that businesses are still seeking workers even though hiring has cooled. In November, U.S. employers added a strong 227,000 jobs, following a paltry 36,000 in October, when the effects of strikes and hurricanes had sharply diminished employer payrolls. The government also revised up its estimate of job growth in September and October by a combined 56,000. The government’s December jobs report comes out on January 10. FAQs Q1.

Maine’s high court says Legislature can’t see confidential child death filesNone
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The decorations outside Acrisure Stadium suggested Christmas. The play on the field by the home team hinted at another holiday entirely. Groundhog Day. Like Bill Murray in the iconic movie — set about 90 minutes northeast of Pittsburgh in Punxsutawney — it's not that the Steelers are reliving the same day (or in their case, season) over and over exactly. It's that no matter what plan they come up with in a frantic effort to get to the other side, they seem to end up right back where they started. Competitive sure. But a contender? Ehhhh. Despite a series of aggressive moves — particularly on offense — that was considerably “unSteeler-like" in the offseason, Pittsburgh finds itself in familiar territory following a 29-10 loss to Kansas City on Wednesday: likely heading on the road in the first round of the playoffs, perhaps as a considerable underdog. While there is still time for Pittsburgh (10-6) to turn it around before a first-round playoff game on the second weekend in January, it's running out quickly. So too is the patience of those weary of being stuck on the treadmill of “good but hardly great” for far too long. Outside linebacker Alex Highsmith — who is 0-3 in the postseason since being drafted in 2020 — wondered aloud afterward if there's enough “want to” on the roster. Safety DeShon Elliott bemoaned communication issues that have cropped up, the kind of thing that is tolerable in Week 2, not so much in Week 17. Coach Mike Tomlin described a performance against the Chiefs in which his team was outclassed at seemingly every turn “junior varsity.” That may be being charitable. And while the offense certainly has its issues (see below), the reality is the NFL's highest-paid defense has lost its way during a three-game slide that has dimmed the considerable optimism that surrounded the club after Thanksgiving. Pittsburgh is allowing an average of 402 yards during the skid and while the Chiefs seemed to have plenty of juice at the end of the same three games in 11 days stretch the Steelers endured, their opponents appeared to be gassed. Patrick Mahomes did whatever he wanted as usual and Pittsburgh failed to get a single sack or produce a turnover. There were opportunities. Linebacker Mark Robinson forced a fumble on a punt return only to see someone in red-and-white fall on the loose ball. Linebacker Patrick Queen let a tipped pass in Kansas City territory fall through his arms for an incompletion. Earlier in the season, Pittsburgh was making those plays. Though it should be noted, the competition then wasn't on the scale of what it has faced against Philadelphia, Baltimore and the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. The road has gotten considerably harder, just as the Steelers knew it would when the schedule was released in May. Like Phil Connors in “Groundhog Day,” however, knowing what's coming and being able to navigate it are two different things. It took Connors a while to figure things out — anywhere from a few months to 25 or more years depending on who you ask — Pittsburgh doesn't have eternity to get it right if it wants to avoid a quick first-round playoff exit for the fourth time in five years. It has just over two weeks. And the clock is ticking. Maybe all the way back to 6 a.m. Because it sure looks like it's Groundhog Day. Again. What's working Not much. One of the few bright spots on a difficult day was the 36-year-old Russell Wilson's ability to make plays with his feet. He ran for a season-high 55 yards, his best single-game total since September 2023. What needs help One of the reasons Wilson had to run is because on some plays, he had no choice while playing behind a youth-laden offensive line that looks as if it is wearing down late in the season. The Chiefs sacked Wilson five times — some of which, to be clear, were because of Wilson's indecisiveness — even with perennial Pro Bowl defensive end Chris Jones out while nursing a calf injury. Pittsburgh wants to be a team that imposes itself physically on the opponent. That has simply not happened during the current slide. The opponents have dictated the terms, particularly along the line of scrimmage. Turning that around this deep into a season may be a difficult ask. Stock up Jaylen Warren is becoming the more dynamic option at running back. Warren has 37 touches for 212 yards during the three-game slide, while Najee Harris has 31 touches for 144 yards. Harris could become a free agent in March after the Steelers declined to pick up his fifth-year option. While Harris — who has topped 1,000 yards rushing in each of his first four seasons — certainly has a future in the NFL, it seems increasingly likely that it will be elsewhere. Stock down Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. His egalitarian approach to play-calling allows everyone to get involved. That's not a bad thing during the dog days in the middle of the season. It keeps players at all levels of the depth chart engaged and adds wrinkles opponents need to account for. Yet in the final weeks, the ball should be finding its way to the established difference-makers more frequently. Calling a run for Cordarrelle Patterson — the league's oldest running back — on third-and-3 near midfield as Smith did late in the first half makes little sense. Injuries Perhaps the most jarring thing about Pittsburgh's swoon is that the Steelers are generally healthy. Sure, they missed cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (knee) against Kansas City, but the rest of the 21 starters on offense and defense were in the lineup. Key number 0. The number of opening-drive touchdowns scored by the Steelers this season. For a group that has trouble “warming up to the game” as Tomlin likes to say, consistently being put in a position to play from behind against quality teams such as the ones Pittsburgh will see in the playoffs is inadvisable. Next steps Rest up, heal up and try to find a way to restore some of its swagger ahead of a meeting with AFC North rival Cincinnati on the first weekend in January. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Will Graves, The Associated Press

‘Clear route back to government’ declares Martin as FF & FG set to keep SF out of power again while Hutch still in fight
Is taking offence the new form of protest? If so, then Senator Lidia Thorpe, the Green-turned-independent whose disruptions of parliament have become commonplace, could teach a masterclass in it. Under Thorpe’s model, the more performative the offence-taking, the better the protest. On Wednesday, the Victorian senator caused another parliamentary ruckus. It began when One Nation senator Pauline Hanson questioned the eligibility of Senator Fatima Payman to sit in parliament. Payman – who defected from Labor to the crossbench in July – was born in Kabul, but her family fled the Taliban, and she came to Australia as a child in 2003. Lidia Thorpe and Pauline Hanson after a division in the Senate this week. Credit: Alex Ellinghausen She was made an Australian citizen in 2005, but has had trouble cancelling her Afghan citizenship because the Taliban government does not have diplomatic relations with Australia. Nonetheless, the legal advice is that Payman is eligible for parliament, having taken “all reasonable steps” to renounce her other citizenship. In the Senate, Payman said Hanson was “vindictive, mean, nasty” and that she “[brought] disgrace to the human race”. I am sympathetic to Payman’s anger . Hanson attempted to table documents relating to the matter, but Thorpe seized the papers and ripped them up. She appeared to throw them at the One Nation senator. Thorpe was subsequently ejected from the chamber, and as she departed, she raised her middle finger in an act of defiance you might call adolescent, except it’s insulting to adolescents. The teens I know would never do anything so rude. Afterwards, Thorpe barged into the Senate press gallery, upsetting the scholarly calm within, and used the elevated position to shout a pro-Palestine statement down at the senators she had just been separated from. Speaking afterwards, Thorpe said there is “one rule for white people who get away with racism, and there’s one rule for us when we call this out. We’re then the ones that are naughty little black girls again”. Independent senator Lidia Thorpe leaves the Senate chamber on Wednesday morning. Credit: AAP Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie said what many people were surely thinking when she responded to this: “Calling people racist actually is just a way, I think, that this senator is trying to excuse her own very, very bad behaviour”. The Second Wave feminists of the 1960s used to say that the personal is political, a slogan that was adopted, rightly, by other civil rights movements. Why? Because it’s true. But the slogan was never meant to be twisted to cover the use of political issues as vehicles for personal grievances. Racism is undoubtedly a problem in Australia – a truism so banal it is barely worth writing it, except that it is always worth reminding ourselves of how persistent and misery-making racism is. That’s particularly the case for people (like me) who have never personally experienced it. This week, after publishing a comprehensive national plan to eliminate racism , Race Discrimination Commissioner Giridharan Sivaraman said there had been “alarming rises in racism during recent times”, and that “interpersonal racism is one symptom of the disease of systemic racism”. I have no doubt that Thorpe has copped a lot of racism in her life, as, I’m sure, has Fatima Payman. In October, Thorpe interrupted a reception for King Charles and Queen Camilla in Parliament’s Great Hall with cries of “you are not my king!” and accusations of genocide. She was later censured. I quite admired her audacity – I have enough imagination to conceive that the head of the British monarchy, presiding over Australia like some sort of ... king, might be enraging to Aboriginal people. Why shouldn’t Thorpe shout about it? “You’re not my king”: Lidia Thorpe heckled the visiting King Charles in Canberra. Credit: Getty, Alex Ellinghausen But the more apposite question might be – will the shouting help the cause or hinder it? And, can you remind me what the cause is, exactly? The tension between passion and pragmatism, between purity and practicality, has long been a fault line in progressive politics. When should an activist movement work with the status quo to change it, and when should it reject the status quo entirely? When to shout, and when to negotiate? The conflict is old, but its urgency is fresh. Following the pummelling of the Democrats in the US presidential election, much commentary has been spilled about the party’s mistakes. Many have blamed the censoriousness of the hard-left, and the righteous pleasure with which some of its members seem to take offence. It was interesting to read, this week, a story in The New York Times (and reprinted in Nine newspapers) about trans rights activists who are questioning the confrontational approach of the movement. The argument was that the rhetorical violence of some trans activists has alienated ordinary people. These are people who overwhelmingly believe in the substance of trans rights, but don’t like having their language policed, or their belief in biological sex dismissed as bigotry. A change in tactics is badly needed because trans rights are in grave danger. President-elect Donald Trump, and members of his cabinet, have made their hostility to trans people known. MAGA Republicans, heady with their newly won power, have spent much of the past couple of weeks campaigning for a “congressional bathroom ban”, barring trans people in Congress from using the bathroom that aligns with their gender. It is a nasty crusade clearly targeted at Representative-elect Sarah McBride, a Democrat from Delaware who is the only openly trans person in Congress. Meanwhile, a video this week made public by failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris was full of milquetoast Oprah-isms that did not match the level of threat faced by the left. The Vice President urged supporters to “not let anybody ... take your power from you”. The video was a timely example of how progressive rhetoric collapses when it doesn’t have a firm basis in concrete policy. Such rhetoric doesn’t win hearts or minds. But neither does the performative umbrage-taking of some of the left’s more self-indulgent activists. There will always be a place for protest. But people will listen best to those who invite their respect. And I still can’t think of a better way to do that besides using the now-quaint tools of reason and forceful argument.

Long before I held conversations professionally, my biggest fear was: will I find someone interesting enough and will they find me interesting? It was always about the conversation. I’m from Manchester, Jeremy grew up in south London. We met at university in Nottingham in 2004 — he was studying management, I was doing history and politics — but our first proper date was at the jazz club Ronnie Scott’s. And genuinely, it was electric. I had so many things to say to him. I never wanted the conversation to stop. He was really listening when so many people are just waiting to talk. Sometimes I’ll throw out a trip wire and go, “Is this boring you?” Not to be mean, just so I know ifJordan Scoville’s two-touchdown, one interception performance in S-E-M’s 38-12 State Semifinal win over Garden County earned him Athlete of the Week honors. The Pleasanton Bulldogs clawed their way into the Class D top 10 at last year's state wrestling meet, riding the shoulders of two state runner-ups — Gatlin Krepela (51-4) at 138 pounds and Luke Pawloski (35-3) at 215 pounds. While Krepela has transferred to Omaha Skutt Catholic for his senior season, Pawloski returns to lead the Bulldogs this year. Also back is Chase Gillming, a senior who was 24-18 and a state qualifier a year ago. Other lettermen on the Pleasanton roster are senior Kenan Hasenauer (285), junior Evan Kucera (126) and sophomores Dylan Phillips (120), Sawyer Gillming (132), Riegen Reissland (138) and Sam Smith (160)/ "We have 11 wrestlers out this year and hope to be competitive in quads and dual meets and get better as the year goes on," said coach Mike Herman, who is in his 39th year of coaching. Pleasanton’s Tyra Sekutera, left, and Cassidee Paitz, right, go after a loose ball during a game with S-E-M. The Pleasanton girls are looking for a rebound — the ones under the basket and the one in the standings. Plenty of indications point in that direction, too. "We have a team that is hungry to get back to competing for conference championships and getting back to Lincoln," coach Jordan Arensdorf said. "We had one of the best summers that I can remember as a coach. The girls put an emphasis on putting in the work to improve their overall game." Pleasanton returns four starters and three other letter winners from last year's 10-12 team, the first team with a losing record since 2015. Leading scorer Natalie Rasmussen was one of three seniors on that saw a lot of younger players get playing time. Back to restore the Bulldogs in the standings are 5-7 senior guard Tyra Sekutera, 5-9 junior guard Brittany Riley, 5-7 senior guard/forward Cassidee Paitz and 5-9 junior forward/center Cadence Dixon. Sekutera will be a three-year starter at Pleasanton. She averaged nearly nine points per game last season. Riley averaged seven points per game and was the team's leading rebounder. Other returning letter winners are 5-7 junior guard Brecken Wendt, 5-8 sophomore guard Emme Westland and 5-7 junior forward Claire Ahrens. "We will need some young players ... to step up and play like experienced players, which I believe they are capable of," Arensdorf said. Those players include Westland and freshmen Tenley Flood and Kenlie Zwiener, both of whom Arensdorf said will have a big impact on the varsity. "It will be important for this group to keep their composure and to be strong mentally in tough situations," Arensdorf said. "If we can control the controlables, not worry about the outside noise, I look for us to have an improved season." Former Kearney High girls basketball coach Jason Boyd returns to the coaching ranks with 20 years of experience and 310 victories under his belt. He takes over a Bulldog team that went 6-17 last year while starting four underclassmen. "I believe this team is ready to take the next step in their development and have a lot of success this season," Boyd said. "We have a competitive group that is hungry to turn things around and win now." That happened for the Bulldogs in football, but with the good came some bad as senior Ryelan Kingston, who averaged 9. 1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game last year, is out with an injury. Others starters returning include 6-foot senior Gavin Zwiener, 6-1 junior Brennan Lindner and 6-2 senior Jayson Cronin. Lindner averaged more than nine points, three assists and three rebounds per game last season. Zwiener contributed six points and four rebounds per game. Other returning lettermen are 6-8 senior guard Cohen Cruise, 6-foot senior guard/forward Josh Pierce, 5-10 senior Gavin Stark, 6-4 junior center Cade Klein, 6-0 junior guard/forward Haden Smith, 6-1 sophomore guard/forward Owen Janitscheck and 6-0 junior forward Austin Hollingsworth. Boyd said the Bulldogs will rely on their experience for leadership in "holding the team accountable for working hard, having a good attitude and competing." Get local news delivered to your inbox!
(Reuters) – Roberto Mancini on Thursday dismissed claims that he had encountered interference during his spell at the helm of the Saudi Arabia national soccer team. The 60-year-old Italian left his position on Oct. 24, some 14 months after taking over from Herve Renard, who is now leading the team at the Arabian Gulf Cup held in Kuwait. Under Mancini, the Saudis were knocked out of the Asian Cup in the last 16 earlier this year after losing in a penalty shootout to South Korea. “I would like to say this for the last time, during my career there was absolutely no interference in the selection of players and I am happy with my experience and work in Saudi Arabia,” he posted on the X social media platform. “Some media outlets should focus on their teams and stop spreading rumors about me and the Saudi national team,” he added. Saudi Arabia, venue for the 2034 FIFA World Cup, are second in the Arabian Gulf Cup Group B with three points, three adrift of leader Bahrain, who already secured a place in the semi-finals with one match remaining. The kingdom’s national team will take on third-placed Iraq, with three points also, in the final round robin match for a place in the semis.
