ANAHEIM, Calif. — Ducks forward Trevor Zegras left Anaheim's game against the Vegas Golden Knights with a lower-body injury. Zegras left the ice early in the second period Wednesday night, apparently unable to put weight on his injured leg. The Ducks quickly announced he wouldn't return. The cause of Zegras' injury wasn't clear, but it wasn't a collision. After taking a faceoff in Anaheim's defensive zone, he spun and fell awkwardly when his stick blade got tangled up with William Karlsson's stick. Zegras immediately waved to Anaheim's bench, and he needed help to get off the ice. The 23-year-old Zegras is best known for his puck-handling creativity and for scoring “Michigan” lacrosse-style goals, but this could be his third major injury in just over a year. He was limited to 31 games last season by two injuries, including an ankle problem that required surgery. Zegras had played in all 23 games for Anaheim this season, recording four goals and six assists. Zegras was the ninth overall pick in the 2019 draft. He has 59 goals in 235 games over the past five seasons in Anaheim.

US LAWMAKERS are moving to prohibit the Pentagon from doing business with companies that sell computer chips and services to Huawei Technologies under defence legislation that could put further pressure on suppliers to the Chinese tech champion. The bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act unveiled on Saturday (Dec 7) contains language that would effectively bar Defense Department contractors from selling semiconductors, chip-making equipment or tools for designing semiconductors to Huawei or its affiliates. The provision is likely to become law given its inclusion in the bill, which is considered “must-pass” before Congress adjourns for the year, though an unrelated provision on transgender care for minors could cost the legislation Democratic support needed to pass it. If approved, the bill risks squeezing global chip firms with ties to Shenzhen-based Huawei, which has been targeted by US sanctions as part of a broader campaign in Washington to rein in China’s tech ambitions. Companies that maintain business ties with Huawei could lose access to work for the Pentagon, which committed nearly US$460 billion on contracts in fiscal 2023, according to the Government Accountability Office. The bill emerged as the US continues to tighten limits on China’s access to advanced technologies, though the Commerce Department still allows Huawei to receive a limited flow of less-sensitive goods. Last week, Republican Representative John Moolenaar, who chairs the House’s China Select Committee, criticised the Biden administration for leaving loopholes for Huawei to continue acquiring American technology. Earlier this year, the US revoked some licenses including those belonging to Intel and Qualcomm for doing business with Huawei. Still, the Commerce Department approved licenses worth US$60 billion for selling to Huawei between November 2020 and April 2021, after the company was included on the agency’s so-called entity list in 2019, according to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul. The Commerce Department does not release information about which companies still have licenses to supply to Huawei or are applying for such approval. Restrictions on Huawei in the defence legislation would take effect 270 days after being signed by the president. The measure includes a waiver if the secretary of Defense determines a contract is needed for national security and no other providers are available. The defence bill still faces a hurdle in the House, where the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, Adam Smith, is urging Republicans to drop a provision prohibiting treatment for military dependent children for gender dysphoria.

Kennedy International Airport. “Travelers sometimes ignore the advice that we give them,” said TeaNeisha Barker, a TSA uniformed adviser. “We are providing guidance so that they get through the checkpoint as simply and conveniently as possible. Not every airport has the same technology, so listen to the guidance we are offering.” “Passengers forget that knives and other weapons are not allowed through our checkpoints. It’s shocking to see so many people with knives,” said TSA officer Aisha Hicks of Philadelphia International Airport. “Weapons of any kind are prohibited through a TSA checkpoint.” TSA officers shared this list of the common things that travelers forget and should remember when coming to a security checkpoint. Ten things that travelers need to remember when preparing to go through the security screening process: • Remember that you cannot bring bottles of water, energy drinks, juice, coffee, soda or any filled insulated reusable container through a security checkpoint. However, they can finish their beverage and bring the empty bottle or container with them. • Remember to bring your ID to the checkpoint. • Remember when TSA officers remind you to remove everything from your pockets that it does not only mean metallic items such as keys and mobile phones, but it means everything, including non-metallic items such as tissues, lip balm, breath mints, etc. • Remember that you cannot bring a firearm through a checkpoint. Instead, pack your unloaded firearm in a locked hard-sided case and declare it at your airline check-in counter and the airline will ensure it is transported in the belly of the plane where nobody has access to it. • Remember that you need to remove your shoes when getting screened and then end up barefoot on the floor. It’s probably a good idea to wear socks. • Remember that children 12 and under are allowed to travel through a TSA PreCheck screening lane with a parent who has TSA PreCheck on their boarding pass. In addition, don’t forget that children up to the age of 18 can also come into the TSA PreCheck lane with their parent if they are on the same airline reservation as their parent. • Remember that passengers that appear 12 and under or 75 and older do not need to remove their shoes and light jacket. • Remember, if you are putting a lock on your luggage, make sure it is a TSA compatible lock so that if TSA officers need to open your luggage, they can unlock it and relock it. If the lock is not TSA compliant, TSA officers who need to open your luggage will cut off the lock, rendering it useless. • Remember that you can bring medications through a security checkpoint, even liquid medication. Just let the TSA officer know that you have liquid medication with you so it can be screened separately. • Remember to get a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license sooner rather than later because REAL ID goes into effect on May 7.Syria latest: Syrians celebrate in the streets as Russian media says Assad has arrived in Moscow
