PANDEF rejects ACF claim, says Niger Delta most marginalised
RJ Godfrey and Tyrin Lawrence each scored 14 points to help lead Georgia to a 79-72 win over visiting South Carolina State on Sunday in Athens. Asa Newell and Dakota Leffew added 12 apiece for Georgia (12-1) which rallied from a 17-point halftime deficit. Silas Demary Jr. had 11 points followed by De'Shayne Montgomery's 10, as the Bulldogs won their seventh straight game, marking their best start to a season since 1930-31 (13-0). Reserve Jayden Johnson led South Carolina State (6-9) with 16 points, followed by Michael Teal's 13 and Wilson Dubinsky's 12. South Carolina State dropped its third game in four tries entering Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference play on Jan. 4. Trailing 41-24 at halftime, Demary's triple and Montgomery's dunk began a 12-5 scoring run to open the second half, pulling Georgia within 10 at the 16:18 mark. After Teal's layup extended South Carolina State's lead to 50-39, Demary's basket stamped a 7-0 Georgia run, pulling the Bulldogs within four at the 11:17 mark of the second half. Dubinsky answered with a triple on the other end, but Leffew and Demary's layups began a 14-2 Georgia run -- which was capped with Lawrence's personal 8-0 spurt. Trailing 60-55, South Carolina State cut its deficit to one after Drayton Jones' four straight points. From there, Newell's three-point play jump started an 8-0 Georgia run, stamped with Montgomery's free throw with 3:42 left. After Davion Everett split a pair of free throws to pull South Carolina State within four with 1:44 left, Georgia made seven of its eight free-throw attempts to ice the victory. Georgia connected on just one field goal early in the game until Dylan James' layup trimmed its deficit to 7-5 at the 14:44 mark. After Johnson's basket put South Carolina State ahead 13-10, Leffew's 3-pointer followed by Montgomery's free throw gave Georgia its first lead with 10:27 left in the opening half. Godfrey's pair of free throws flipped the lead to Georgia with 5:30 remaining, before Dubinsky's triple gave South Carolina State a 24-22 advantage on the ensuing possession. Georgia was held scoreless until Somto Cyril's free throws snapped a 14-0 South Carolina State run with 50 seconds left. Johnson then capped the first half with consecutive 3-pointers, giving South Carolina State a 41-24 halftime lead. --Field Level MediaA timeline of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the search for his killer NEW YORK (AP) — The search for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer has stretched into a fifth day — and beyond New York City. Police say it appears the man left the city on a bus soon after Wednesday's shooting outside the New York Hilton Midtown. The suspect is seen on video at an uptown bus station about 45 minutes later. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Police believe that words found written on ammunition at the shooting scene, including “deny," “defend” and "depose,” suggest a motive driven by anger toward the healthcare company. The words mimic a phrase used by insurance industry critics. Trump says he can't guarantee tariffs won't raise US prices and won't rule out revenge prosecutions WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump says he can’t guarantee his promised tariffs on key U.S. foreign trade partners won’t raise prices for American consumers. And he's suggesting once more that some political rivals and federal officials who pursued legal cases against him should be imprisoned. The president-elect made the comments in a wide-ranging interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday. He also touched on monetary policy, immigration, abortion and health care, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere. Trump often mixed declarative statements with caveats, at one point cautioning “things do change.” Europe's economy needs help. Political chaos in France and Germany means it may be slower in coming BRUSSELS (AP) — Europe's economy has enough difficulties, from tepid growth to trade tensions with the U.S. Dealing with those woes is only getting harder due to the political chaos in the two biggest European countries, France and Germany. Neither has a government backed by a functioning majority, and France could take a while yet to sort things out. But some problems aren't going to wait, such as what to do about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's America First stance on trade and how to fund stronger defense against Putin's Russia. ‘Moana 2’ cruises to another record weekend and $600 million globally “Moana 2” remains at the top of the box office in its second weekend in theaters as it pulled in another record haul. According to studio estimates Sunday, the animated Disney film added $52 million, bringing its domestic total to $300 million. That surpasses the take for the original “Moana” and brings the sequel's global tally to a staggering $600 million. It also puts the film in this year's top five at the box office. “Wicked” came in second place for the weekend with $34.9 million and “Gladiator II” was third with $12.5 million. The 10th anniversary re-release of Christopher Nolan's “Interstellar” also earned an impressive $4.4 million even though it played in only 165 theaters. Federal appeals court upholds law requiring sale or ban of TikTok in the US A federal appeals court panel on Friday unanimously upheld a law that could lead to a ban on TikTok as soon as next month, handing a resounding defeat to the popular social media platform as it fights for its survival in the U.S. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the law - which requires TikTok to break ties with its China-based parent company ByteDance or be banned by mid-January — is constitutional, rebuffing TikTok’s challenge that the statute ran afoul of the First Amendment and unfairly targeted the platform. TikTok and ByteDance — another plaintiff in the lawsuit — are expected to appeal to the Supreme Court. Executive of Tyler Perry Studios dies when plane he was piloting crashes in Florida ATLANTA (AP) — The president of Atlanta-based Tyler Perry Studios has died when the small plane he was piloting crashed on Florida’s Gulf Coast. The studio confirmed on Saturday that Steve Mensch, its 62-year-old president and general manager, had died Friday. The crash happened in Homosassa, about 60 miles north of Tampa. Photos from the scene show the plane having come to rest upside down on a road. Mensch helped advocate for Georgia’s film tax credit of more than $1 billion a year. Perry hired Mensch to run his namesake studio in 2016. Mensch died as Perry released his war drama, “The Six Triple Eight." The film was shot at the Atlanta studio. US added a strong 227,000 jobs in November in bounce-back from October slowdown WASHINGTON (AP) — America’s job market rebounded in November, adding 227,000 workers in a solid recovery from the previous month, when the effects of strikes and hurricanes had sharply diminished employers’ payrolls. Last month’s hiring growth was up considerably from a meager gain of 36,000 jobs in October. The government also revised up its estimate of job growth in September and October by a combined 56,000. Friday’s report also showed that the unemployment rate ticked up from 4.1% in October to a still-low 4.2%. The November data provided the latest evidence that the U.S. job market remains durable even though it has lost significant momentum from the 2021-2023 hiring boom, when the economy was rebounding from the pandemic recession. Stock market today: Wall Street hits more records following a just-right jobs report NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose to records after data suggested the job market remains solid enough to keep the economy going, but not so strong that it raises immediate worries about inflation. The S&P 500 climbed 0.2%, just enough top the all-time high set on Wednesday, as it closed a third straight winning week in what looks to be one of its best years since the 2000 dot-com bust. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.8% to set its own record. Treasury yields eased after the jobs report showed stronger hiring than expected but also an uptick in the unemployment rate. Killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO spotlights complex challenge companies face in protecting top brass NEW YORK (AP) — In an era when online anger and social tensions are increasingly directed at the businesses consumers count on, Meta last year spent $24.4 million to surround CEO Mark Zuckerberg with security. But the fatal shooting this week of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson while walking alone on a New York City sidewalk has put a spotlight on the widely varied approaches companies take to protect their leaders against threats. And experts say the task of evaluating threats against executives and taking action to protect them is getting more difficult. One of the primary worries are loners whose rantings online are fed by others who are like-minded. It’s up to corporate security analysts to decide what represents a real threat. Days after gunman killed UnitedHealthcare's CEO, police push to ID him and FBI offers reward NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly four days after the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, police still do not know the gunman’s name or whereabouts or have a motive for the killing. But they have made some progress in their investigation into Wednesday's killing of the leader of the largest U.S. health insurer, including that the gunman likely left New York City on a bus soon after fleeing the scene. The also found that the gunman left something behind: a backpack that was discovered in Central Park. Police are working with the FBI, which on Friday night announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
Husband’s excessive manners leave wife feeling left behindConor McGregor has responded to the verdict in the civil trial accusing him of “brutal” rape and battery. On Friday, the MMA champ lost his highly-publicised sexual assault lawsuit and was ordered to pay the plaintiff nearly $257,000 in damages. Following the jury's verdict at Ireland’s high court, the 36-year-old expressed his “disappointment” and vowed to make an appeal in a statement shared on social media. Conor McGregor breaks silence after losing civil rape trial A jury in Dublin found that McGregor sexually assaulted Nikita Hand (also known - Nikita Ní Laimhín) at a hotel in the Irish capital after a night of heavy partying in December 2018. The UFC star had testified against the allegations, claiming that he never forced the plaintiff to do anything and that they had consensual sex. He also testified that the woman had fabricated the allegations against him. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, just hours after the verdict, McGregor wrote, “I will be appealing today's decision. The judge's instruction and the modest award given was for assault, not for aggravated or exemplary damages. I am disappointed that the jury did not hear all the evidence that the DPP reviewed. I am with my family now, focused on my future. Thank you to all my support worldwide.” During Friday's hearing, Hand's attorney John Gordon argued that McGregor had taken out his anger on his client after losing a fight in Las Vegas two months prior to the rape. “He’s not a man, he’s a coward,” Gordon told jurors, adding, “A devious coward and you should treat him for what he is." Recounting the horrific night she was abused by McGregor, Hand said that he tried to put her in a choke hold multiple times. “Now you know how I felt in the octagon where I tapped out three times,” McGregor told Hand, who told the court she feared for her life during the incident. “He let me go and I remember saying I was sorry, as I felt that I did something wrong and I wanted to reassure him that I wouldn’t tell anyone so he wouldn’t hurt me again,” she went on, adding that she later told him to do whatever he wanted, following which he had sex with her, reported New York Post.
King scores 28, North Carolina Central downs Gardner-Webb 78-77
WASHINGTON — Matt Gaetz withdrew Thursday as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general amid continued fallout over a federal sex trafficking investigation that cast doubt on his ability to be confirmed as the nation’s chief federal law enforcement officer. The announcement averts what was shaping up to be a pitched confirmation fight that would have tested how far Senate Republicans were willing to go to support Trump’s Cabinet picks. It represents a setback in Trump’s efforts to install fierce loyalists in his administration and is the first indication of the resistance the incoming president could face within his own party to picks with checkered backgrounds. “While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,” said Gaetz, a Florida Republican who a day earlier met with senators to win their support. “There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General,” he said. “Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.” The move came after senators raised concerns over the sex trafficking allegations and demanded more information about a now-closed federal investigation. Meanwhile, Justice Department lawyers were taken aback by the pick of a partisan lawmaker who repeatedly railed against their agency and echoed Trump in claiming that it was weaponized against political adversaries. In recent days, an attorney for two women said his clients told House Ethics Committee investigators that Gaetz paid them for sex on multiple occasions beginning in 2017, when Gaetz was a Florida congressman. One of the women testified she saw Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old at a party in Florida in 2017, according to the attorney, Joel Leppard. Leppard said his client didn’t think Gaetz knew the girl was underage, stopped their relationship when he found out and did not resume it until after she turned 18. The age of consent in Florida is 18. Gaetz denies any wrongdoing, and said last year that the Justice Department’s investigation into sex trafficking allegations involving underage girls ended with no federal charges against him. Gaetz abruptly resigned his congressional seat upon being selected as nominee. That move was seen as a way to shut down the House ethics investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct.

Equatic, a Los Angeles-based start-up, has developed an unprecedented technology that uses the ocean to address two of the world’s most pressing climate issues: carbon capture and green hydrogen production. However, though the innovation promises a dual solution, it has already caused a stir among scientists and environmental advocates. The ocean naturally absorbs at least a quarter of the CO2 emissions that people cause, acting as an important buffer against climate change. Equatic seeks to enhance this process by using its ocean-based carbon removal technology to store carbon in a stable, long-term form. According to the company, the captured carbon remains locked away for thousands of years, providing a reliable solution to reduce the atmospheric CO2 levels. Edward Sanders, CEO of Equatic, says, “We have a technology that does two things pretty well. One is we take CO2 out of the atmosphere and store it permanently. The second thing we do is produce green hydrogen.” Dual-Action Technology Equatic is the process involving pumping seawater into an electrolyzer powered by renewable energy resources such as wind or sun. The electrolyzer separates it into hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, and an alkaline slurry. In this process, the captured CO2 is converted in the slurry into stable carbonates and bicarbonates released back into the ocean. Unlike the traditional methods, the Equatic system does not produce harmful chlorine gas in the process, owing to the specially designed oxygen-selective anode. The captured CO2 is chemically immobilized, thus trapping it for millennia without releasing back into the atmosphere. In addition to removing CO2, Equatic produces green hydrogen—a clean energy source crucial for decarbonizing industries like shipping and aviation. Although the electrolyzer is less efficient in producing hydrogen compared to conventional models, it has a dual benefit: helping monetize the carbon capture process. Scaling Up: Ambitions And Challenges Equatic has already proven its technology in pilot plants in Los Angeles and Singapore, each removing 30–40 tonnes of CO2 annually. The company is now building a larger facility in Singapore that will capture 4,000 tonnes of CO2 and produce 100 tonnes of hydrogen yearly. A commercial-scale plant in Quebec will be able to remove 100,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. However, scaling up ocean-based carbon removal is not easy. The opponents raise the issue of energy consumption, environmental impact, and the potential for unforeseen effects in marine ecosystems. According to Mary Church of the Center for International Environmental Law, marine carbon removal can interfere with ocean chemistry and impact nutrient levels and populations of species. “At a scale to meaningfully impact the climate, marine CO2 removal would be inherently unpredictable and pose significant risks to ecosystems,” she says. Marine scientist James Kerry adds that the process of Equatic may necessitate the processing of enormous volumes of seawater, thus causing harm to marine life and disrupting food security. Equatic maintains that its process is safe and compliant with international environmental standards. The company neutralizes acidic waste streams before discharge and tracks its effects on marine ecosystems. According to Sanders, there is no alternative to doing nothing. “We have to remove legacy CO2 emissions from the atmosphere to decrease climate-related stress on our oceans,” he says. Next Steps For Ocean-Based Solutions While promising, experts maintain that ocean-based carbon removal must complement, not displace, emissions reductions. As Charlotte Levy of Carbon180 has said, “No removal solution later is as good as mitigation now.” Equatic aims to get the CO2 removal costs below $100 per tonne by 2030 and hopes its technology will be scaled enough to make a significant dent in global emissions by mid-2040s. Whether it can balance innovation with environmental stewardship is a critical question in this race to combat climate change. ALSO READ | Two Massive Asteroids Approaches Earth, Are They A Threat?

Abee's 25 lead UNC Asheville over Saint Andrews 120-64Second Lieutenant Madison Marsh was crowned Miss America in 2024. (USAF via SWNS) By Dean Murray Miss America Madison Marsh - also a U.S. Air Force 2nd lieutenant - has reflected on her year in the role. A potential Top Gun-style aviator, with a coveted place to train as a fighter pilot, the 23-year-old has had a busy 12 months since winning the title in January. The Arkansas native has spent months traveling the country inspiring women and advocating for military careers while pursuing her Master’s degree in public policy at Harvard University . However, in an interview this month, Madison has reaffirmed her heart is in the Air Force. Speaking about her early dream to be an astronaut, it was the positive influence of the Air Force that eventually enamored her to the military branch. (Miriam Thurber/USAF via SWNS) Madison said: "The thing that started it all was actually space camp. And I got to see the stars for the very first time, like without any light pollution and started talking to these people about space camp ended up going. "When I met these astronauts, I had heard so much about the military and how almost all of them were retired military fighter pilots, test pilots and I knew that was something that I wanted to do. "You know, my goals have kind of changed over the past couple of years because my entire path in entering the military started because I wanted to be an astronaut, and now I no longer want to be an astronaut. "So it always left me with the question of why am I staying? Because if that dream has changed, what am I here for? And ultimately, it was because of the people that I've gotten to have. "People are the most important thing in my entire life. And the fact that the Air Force, wherever I've gone, I have found family and friends and people that are going to take care of me. 2nd Lt. Madison Marsh, crowned Miss America 2024, poses at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. (Miriam Thurber/USAF via SWNS) "And to be honest, I don't really feel like that in any other job or role that I've gotten to have. The Air Force and the people in it are always going to have my back. And I think that's such a beautiful thing. "When looking at a mission that is so much bigger than yourself and also having that family component of people that are always going to have your back." From a young age, Madison had a love of science and a dream to be a pilot and astronaut. Her parents encouraged her dreams, sending her to Space Camp when she was 13 years old where she met astronauts and fighter pilots. Around that time, she learned about the United States Air Force Academy. At 15 years old, she started flying lessons earning her pilot’s license two years later and then began to work towards her goal of becoming a cadet. (Miriam Thurber/USAF via SWNS) Madison was crowned Miss Colorado in May 2023, just before graduating from the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) and commissioning as an Air Force Officer. Currently, she is in a master’s degree program at the Harvard Kennedy School through the Air Force Institute of Technology’s Civilian Institution Programs. However, Miss America still has the option to attend undergraduate pilot training once she completes her studies. Madison also honors her mother Whitney, who died from pancreatic cancer in 2018, when Madison was just 17 years old. She dedicates her time in the spotlight to raising awareness about pancreatic cancer, both through the founding of the Whitney Marsh Foundation and through supporting the PanCAN charity's initiatives.

In recent times, the practice of stock repurchase has gained significant traction among companies as a means to increase their value and enhance shareholder returns. To further facilitate this strategy, financial institutions have introduced specialized loans tailored for stock repurchases. The latest development in this area includes the extension of loan terms, as well as the adjustment of maximum financing ratios, marking an optimization of stock repurchase special loans.
