President-elect Donald Trump has once again suggested he wants to revert the name of North America’s tallest mountain — Alaska's Denali — to Mount McKinley, wading into a sensitive and decades-old conflict about what the peak should be called. Former President Barack Obama changed the official name to Denali in 2015 to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives as well as the preference of many Alaska residents. The federal government in recent years has endeavored to change place-names considered disrespectful to Native people. “Denali” is an Athabascan word meaning “the high one" or “the great one.” A prospector in 1896 dubbed the peak “Mount McKinley” after President William McKinley, who had never been to Alaska. That name was formally recognized by the U.S. government until Obama changed it over opposition from lawmakers in McKinley's home state of Ohio. Trump suggested in 2016 that he might undo Obama's action, but he dropped that notion after Alaska's senators objected. He raised it again during a rally in Phoenix on Sunday. “McKinley was a very good, maybe a great president,” Trump said Sunday. “They took his name off Mount McKinley, right? That’s what they do to people.” Once again, Trump's suggestion drew quick opposition within Alaska. “Uh. Nope. It’s Denali,” Democratic state Sen. Scott Kawasaki posted on the social platform X Sunday night. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski , who for years pushed for legislation to change the name to Denali, conveyed a similar sentiment in a post of her own. “There is only one name worthy of North America’s tallest mountain: Denali — the Great One,” Murkowski wrote on X. Various tribes of Athabascan people have lived in the shadow of the 20,310-foot (6,190-meter) mountain for thousands of years. McKinley, a Republican native of Ohio who served as the 25th president, was assassinated early in his second term in 1901 in Buffalo, New York. Alaska and Ohio have been at odds over the name since at least the 1970s. Alaska had a standing request to change the name since 1975, when the legislature passed a resolution and then-Gov. Jay Hammond appealed to the federal government. Known for its majestic views, the mountain is dotted with glaciers and covered at the top with snow year-round, with powerful winds that make it difficult for the adventurous few who seek to climb it. Rush reported from Portland, Oregon.Trekking to the beach only to find the surf full of stinging bluebottles could soon be a thing of the past as scientists investigate how to predict when they are likely to wash ashore. Swell and wind forecasts and machine learning are being used in a bid to build a predictive model for bluebottle movements by researchers at the University of NSW. But it won't be ready this summer as scientists continue testing with plans to make the technology available in late 2025. Bluebottles are biologically closer to coral than jellyfish and cannot swim, placing them at the mercy of ocean currents. Bluebottles deliver a sting which can cause redness and pain but do not generally cause serious harm. They would sink if fitted with the trackers used to keep an eye on sharks and other fish. Scientists instead placed trackers on 3D-printed replica bluebottles placed about five kilometres off the coast of Sydney's Botany Bay in January to get an idea how the stingers could spread. One washed up at Bondi Beach, along with a number of actual bluebottles. Another was picked up by a dog at Palm Beach, at the far end of the city's northern beaches, more than 40km away from the release location. Like bluebottles, the replicas had their sails pointing either left or right, dictating the direction they drifted in the 20km/h winds. But winds over 30km/h overcame those directions, blowing a whole colony of bluebottles the same way. UNSW oceanography researcher Amandine Schaeffer said machine learning and oceanographic models were being used to analyse where bluebottles reached the Australian coast and where they come from. "We're trying to understand how they move with ocean currents, winds and waves, and which conditions bring them to shore," she said. Forecasts for currents, wind and swell could then be used to predict swarms. "The idea is to have a statistical model that is fed with these environmental variables, which will allow us to make predictions about the likelihood of bluebottles being on a particular beach," Dr Schaeffer said. The researchers are working with Surf Life Saving Australia to incorporate the predictions into its Beachsafe app once the predictive model is operational.Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump's pick to head the U.S. health department, is scheduled to travel to Romania next week. His visit coincides with a meeting with Calin Georgescu, a far-right candidate who secured a surprising lead in Romania's presidential elections. The recent election results, which placed Georgescu in a favorable position for the Dec. 8 run-off, could potentially alter Romania's political landscape and its pro-Western orientation. However, the results face a recount ordered by Romania's top court, creating uncertainty ahead of the parliamentary elections scheduled for the same weekend. Kennedy's trip to Bucharest will also include the launch of his book on the coronavirus pandemic, featuring a preface by Georgescu. The Romanian television station, Realitatea, announced it is partnering the event, slated for Dec. 5, but Kennedy's team has yet to confirm the meeting's details. (With inputs from agencies.)

J.K. Dobbins and Alohi Gilman are placed on injured reserve by ChargersOn Friday night, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen announced that he and his girlfriend Hailee Steinfeld are now engaged. His ex-girlfriend, Brittany Williams, wasted no time making headlines after that announcement. Someone commented "Haven't found the next pro athlete yet?" on an Instagram post that belongs to Williams. Her response to that question was pretty wild. She replied, "Luckily my boyfriend owns a team and doesn't play for one. don't have to be with another brain dead CTE athlete." After fans grabbed a screenshot of Williams' response, she ran over to Instagram to say that she was hacked. "My accounts have been hacked several times tonight. Trying to get it resolved. If anyone has any tips please lmk ," Williams wrote. I see Josh Allen’s ex is handling the news today with grace pic.twitter.com/5OrrazCgdq If this is true, then it's just really bad timing for Williams. On the flip side, if she truly posted this message, then she should be ashamed of herself. Williams and Allen don't have to be friendly anymore, but saying that he's "brain dead" is just ridiculous. Getty Images. Allen and Williams started dating in 2017 before calling it quits in 2023. He eventually found Steinfeld a few months after his breakup, and the rest is history. As for Williams, she claims she's been having fun dating in New York. "I was with my ex-boyfriend for, on and off, like 10 years I would say," Williams said during a podcast appearance. "Coming into the dating world was very, very, very difficult for me at first because I never thought I'd be here again. But here I am. I am very happy now. The dating life in New York is absolutely crazy but it's so much fun. It's so entertaining. I makes you realize everything that you want." We'll see if this ugly situation between Allen and Williams gets sorted out. If we had to guess, the Bills quarterback will let it slide since he's clearly happy with his current situation.

Investigators are closer to finding out who killed 6-year-old JonBenét Ramsey nearly two decades after the child was found dead, sources told ABC News . ABC News reported that unidentified sources briefed on the investigation said a team of experts has been assigned to look at remaining evidence in the case and to “apply the most modern scientific and cold case techniques to try to solve the crime.” In December 1996, JonBenet’s mother called 911 to report her daughter missing, saying she had found a ransom note. A few hours later, JonBenét was found dead in her home in Boulder, Colorado. The child’s skull was fractured and, according to her autopsy, she had been sexually assaulted and strangled. Her parents and brother have been cleared as suspects and nobody was ever prosecuted. The unsolved murder has remained a high-profile case since 1996. After Netflix released the three-part series “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey” last week, which criticized how police handled the crime, Boulder police denied claims they were not pursuing viable evidence and leads. Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said in a video press release that the department can’t share specific information publicly to avoid compromising an open investigation.

JonBenét’s father, John Ramsey, told CNN he believes up-to-date DNA technology could help solve the case, and in 2022, he supported an online petition asking Colorado’s governor to intervene and put an outside agency in charge of DNA testing. In 2021, police said they hadn’t ruled out DNA to help solve the case.

TIMES of political turmoil and global challenge can also be times for publicly taking a stance. To find out what keeps them going when times seem toughest, this reporter spoke to three Limerick-based activists to delve into what motivates them. “It’s not like I even thought about caring,” says Alice Abreu, a Portuguese violinist in Limerick who uses her social media platform for advocating for national and international issues. “It was more a thing of connecting with my inner self and realising that I do care.” For University of Limerick psychology student Molly McNamara, it was a revelation of her own privilege. “I get to go home every day and not worry about my house getting bombed or losing every single person in my family,” she said. Speaking to this reporter, Molly shed a tear as she spoke about a doctor in Palestine who she has formed a friendship with. “He doesn’t get the privilege that I have of turning off my phone and now the problem doesn’t exist anymore.” Molly is a member of a committee that manages the grassroots Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement within the UL community, condemning the university’s links with Israeli companies. “When you’re interested in social relations and international relationships and politics it’s kind of hard to not see systems and patterns of oppression,” she says. She considers that as a “privileged person”, she has the right to protest for people that cannot do so. Ben Desjarlais, a UL graduate and US native who works alongside Molly in the BDS committee, also feels his desire to work for the people who are not able to do all the things he can is a major motivating factor. “When there’s wars, when there’s violence, when there’s genocide, I feel like where I have the capacity, I have the duty to do something,” he says. “If I think about ‘why do I care?’ I care because I can’t imagine not caring”. But how do they deal with the uncertainty of knowing if their actions will make any difference? Molly and Ben say the argument that activism does not do anything is used to tumble its legitimacy, especially by “those who benefit from activists not protesting”. Molly recalls following a week of student protests, Trinity College Dublin decided to cut all of its ties with Israel. Speaking of her Palestinian doctor friend, she says that just “showing up to (a) protest made that man’s whole day”. She admits, however, that weighing head-first into a cause can be exhausting. “Burning yourself out over something isn’t going to make you better at it,” she says, suggesting a measured approach. “You need to give yourself time and space to be able to do the things that you need to do, or you’re never going to be able to do them right”. For Alice Abreu, taking care of oneself means taking care of others. She identifies her activism with love. “It’s everything about others, about the Earth, about myself, and then realising that everything is so connected in a way that there’s no way I can care for myself and not care for others,” she says.

Kane to have scan after injury in 'Klassiker'Mwalola wa Mwalola, a longtime fisherman in the Indian Ocean on the Kenyan coast, vividly remembers the events of the deadly tsunami of 20 years ago. Mwalola said the fisherfolk's experience and knowledge of the ocean saved his life after they sensed danger and decided to keep off the ocean on the fateful day. “My place of work was hit, but I was not affected because I heeded the warning," he said. "We avoided losses because we warned our colleagues of the impending danger and asked everyone to keep off the ocean that day.” On December 26, 2004, a powerful earthquake off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra generated a devastating tsunami that was observed worldwide and caused tremendous devastation and deaths throughout the Indian Ocean region, including in East Africa. Out of the 228,000 people killed, more than 300 were from the East African countries of Somalia, Tanzania and Kenya, according to the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. The disaster raised awareness about the threat tsunamis pose to coastal communities around the world and the need for improved tsunami detection, forecasting, warning and preparedness. Observers say more remains to be done in the East African countries that were affected. Shamim Wasii Nyanda, an environmental activist at the Tanzania Ocean Climate Innovation Hub in Dar es Salaam, said, "There’s an increase of vulnerability due to climate change but also ... limited adaptation funding. Most of the coastal cities lack sufficient financial resources to implement these climate adaptation measures, particularly in urban, under-resourced communities. They do not have that kind of technology or resources for them to be able to work on these problems that we are experiencing," especially tsunamis. Nyanda said increasing urbanization is compounding the risk. “Coastal cities like Dar es Salaam itself have continued to expand, with informal settlements encroaching on vulnerable areas where facilities like disasterproof housing and infrastructure are not available." People then build housing in areas where they shouldn't, "so, when these disasters come, like the tsunami, they are not prepared. They do not have the technology. They do not have the infrastructure ... and what happens? They are just swept away.” As countries observe the 20th anniversary of the 2004 tsunami, experts say preparedness, prevention and mitigation measures are key in preventing such disasters in the future.Bridgeline to Report Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2024

President-elect Trump wants to again rename North America's tallest peak

Hoda Kotb is feeling short of festive heading into her first Christmas in her new home. “It’s all happening! Merry Everything!!🥰,” the Today coanchor, 60, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, December 22, alongside a carousel of festive photos, the first slide of which featured a look at her living room’s holiday décor. Hanging from Kotb’s fireplace mantel are several stockings for herself, her daughters — Haley, 7, and Hope, 5 — and more family members. Kotb even included a “Dad” stocking for her ex-fiancée Joel Schiffman , with whom she shared her kids. In addition to her sparkling Christmas tree with several presents already wrapped and sitting underneath it, a small, pink, ceramic tree rests on her coffee table alongside a holiday-themed snow globe. One of Kotb’s girls even got their stuffed animal bunny into the Christmas spirit by placing a Santa Claus hat on its head. Kotb’s Instagram update also included several snaps from her and her girls’ snow day with her mother, Sameha . In one of the post’s pics, Kotb attempted to take a selfie with her kids and mom, but not before being hit in the face with a snowball. In a follow-up Instagram post , Kotb shared a sweet photo of Sameha with Haley and Hope, as another shot of Hope outside in the snow. She captioned the upload with a series of emojis, including a Christmas tree and red and green hearts. A post shared by Hoda Kotb (@hodakotb) Kotb was one of several Today hosts who were absent from the show’s Monday, December 23, episode. While Craig Melvin filled in for her and Savannah Guthrie during the show’s first two hours, Monday’s third and fourth hours were pre-recorded as the hosts got an early start to their holiday celebrations. This year marks the first time Kotb will celebrate Christmas in her new home. Back in March, she revealed to fans that she was moving with her girls outside of New York City. Before taking her kids trick-or-treating in October, Kotb shared her excitement about getting the full suburban Halloween experience. “Everywhere I look in our town, [there’s] those big spiderwebs, all the things,” she shared on the October 18 episode of Today With Hoda & Jenna . “They have parades. They said, ‘Your kid needs three Halloween costumes or else the first one’s gonna get all ruined.’ ... Some people block off their streets for block parties and then go trick-or-treating and then come back. It’s a days-long thing.” You have successfully subscribed.

Shortly after celebrating Christmas, Kotb will be saying goodbye to Today after nearly 30 years at NBC. She announced she was stepping down from the morning show in September, citing turning 60 and wanting to spend more time with her kids as the main reasons for her decision. Following her final episode on Friday, January 10, Melvin, 45, will take over her role as Guthrie’s coanchor. Jenna Bush Hager will continue to cohost the fourth hour — retitled Today With Jenna & Friends — alongside a rotating lineup of guest hosts until a permanent replacement is selected.
