Caitlin Clark honored as AP Female Athlete of the Year following her impact on women's sports Caitlin Clark has been named the AP Female Athlete of the Year after raising the profile of women’s basketball to unprecedented levels in both college and the WNBA. She led Iowa to the national championship game, was the top pick in the WNBA draft and captured rookie of the year honors in the league. Fans packed sold-out arenas and millions of television viewers followed her journey on and off the court. Clark's exploits also put other women's sports leagues in the spotlight. A group of 74 sports journalists from AP and its members voted on the award. Other athletes who received votes included Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and boxer Imane Khelif. Clark’s only the fourth women’s basketball player to win the award since it was first given in 1931. Wemby at The Garden. LeBron vs. Steph. The NBA's Christmas Day lineup, as always, has star power LeBron James made his Christmas debut in 2003. Victor Wembanyama was born 10 days later. That’s right: James has been featured on the NBA’s big day for longer than Wembanyama has been alive. And on Wednesday the league’s oldest player and brightest young star will be big parts of the holiday showcase. It’s another Christmas quintupleheader, with Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs visiting the New York Knicks, Minnesota going to Dallas for a Western Conference finals rematch, Philadelphia heading to Boston to renew a storied rivalry, James and the Los Angeles Lakers taking on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, and Denver playing at Phoenix. Pro Picks: Chiefs will beat the Steelers and Ravens will edge the Texans on Christmas Day Playoff berths, draft positioning and more are up for grabs in Week 17. There’s going to be plenty of football on television this holiday week with the NFL playing games on five out of six days, starting with a doubleheader on Christmas Day featuring four of the AFC’s top five teams. Patrick Mahomes and the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs visit Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday. Then, two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens take on C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans. The Bears host the Seahawks on Thursday night and there are three games on Saturday, making Sunday’s schedule light at nine games. Falcons drafting Penix no longer a head-scratcher with rookie QB shining in place of benched Cousins It was the most surprising first-round pick in a long time when the Atlanta Falcons chose Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall selection in the NFL draft last April. That came just six weeks after the Falcons had signed free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million deal with $100 million in guarantees. But that move is no longer a head-scratcher after Penix's solid starting debut in place of a benched and turnover-prone Cousins. Several teams have fared well with new quarterbacks this season including the Steelers, Broncos, Vikings and Commanders. Lindsey Vonn thinks her new titanium knee could start a trend in skiing. And pro sports in general ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) — Lindsey Vonn thinks her new titanium knee could be the start of a trend in ski racing. The 40-year-old American standout had replacement surgery in April and returned to the World Cup circuit after nearly six years last weekend. She says her knee feels “amazing" and that "it’s something to seriously consider for athletes that have a lot of knee problems.” Her surgery was the first of its kind in World Cup skiing. Vonn had a robot-assisted surgery in April with part of the bone in her right knee cut off and replaced by two titanium pieces. She was planning her comeback a month later. Boise State's legacy includes winning coaches and championship moments No. 8 and third-seeded Boise State is preparing for its third trip to the Fiesta Bowl. This time it's in a playoff quarterfinal against No. 5 and sixth-seeded Penn State on New Year’s Eve. Boise State's first appearance on the national stage was in a memorable victory over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1, 2007. But former coach Chris Petersen said the victory in that bowl three years later over TCU was even more meaningful for the program. Embiid ejected after drawing 2 technicals in game against Wembanyama and Spurs PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid was ejected in the first half of Monday night’s game against San Antonio after drawing two technical fouls. Referee Jenna Schroeder ejected Embiid with 2 minutes, 59 seconds left in the second quarter. The seven-time All-Star received the first technical for arguing with Schroeder, and received another technical — and ejection — from Schroeder before any more game time elapsed. Embiid was close to Schroeder, but it wasn’t clear from replays whether he made contact with the official. An enraged Embiid charged toward the officials after the ejection and was restrained by teammate Kyle Lowry, head coach Nick Nurse and several assistants. Nikki Glaser uses Prime Video's NFL postgame show appearances to help prepare for Golden Globes INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Nikki Glaser has become a familiar face to football fans this season. Her breakthrough performance at the Tom Brady Roast on May 5 paved the way for five appearances on Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” postgame show. Glaser said before last Thursday’s game between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers that doing her “Late Hits” segment was a no-brainer following her success at the Brady roast. Leaving Thunder, Bucks off the NBA's Christmas game list has those teams feeling snubbed Oklahoma City leads the Western Conference and has a MVP candidate in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Milwaukee has the NBA’s leading scorer in Giannis Antetokounmpo. They were the teams that made their way to the NBA Cup final. By any measure, they’re both very good teams. And neither will play on Christmas Day this year. Bah, humbug. The NBA faces the same challenge every summer, figuring out which 10 teams will get the honor of playing on Christmas Day. But the Bucks and Thunder are right to feel snubbed. Heat lose guard Dru Smith for remainder of season with torn Achilles Miami Heat guard Dru Smith has suffered another season-ending injury, this one a torn Achilles in his left leg. It is the third time that Smith has had a season cut short since February 2022. Smith got hurt Monday night in Miami’s 110-95 win over Brooklyn. The Achilles tear was the preliminary diagnosis once he left the court for evaluation, and an MRI exam on Tuesday confirmed the severity of the injury. This injury comes 13 months after he was lost for most of the 2023-24 season with a right knee injury. Smith also saw his 2021-22 season in the G League cut short by a knee injury.A Christmas Story has remained a seminal holiday movie since its release in 1983 and is a favorite to watch on Christmas Day. The movie follows nine-year-old Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley) who is determined that he wants a new Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas, but all the adults are trying to convince him its a bad idea because it might "shoot your eye out." Despite being released more than 40 years ago , many of its stars have remained in show business, so let's take a look at what they're up to today. Peter Billingsley (Ralphie) The star of the film with his iconic blue eyes and glasses, stayed in movies and even continued to make hit Christmas films. Billingsley had an uncredited role in 2003's Elf starring Will Ferrell and he also served as a producer—even briefly making a cameo appearance—in Four Christmases, starring Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon. The actor remained close to the movie that made him famous around the world and co-produced the original 2012 Broadway musical adaptation of A Christmas Story. Billingsley once again played Ralphie in the 2022 HBO Max film A Christmas Story Christmas . Ian Petrella (Randy Parker) The actor would go on to have some more acting roles in TV shows such as Diff'rent Strokes and Who's The Boss? after landing his first acting role at the age of three. Petrella took a 15-year break from acting where he traveled the world and studied marionette puppetry in Czechia. He eventually returned to the U.S. where he made animated shorts and acted in A Christmas Story Christmas alongside Billingsley. Scott Schwartz (Flick) Schwartz perhaps had one of the most memorable scenes in cinema history when his character licked a frozen light pole, getting his tongue stuck. In the 1990s, Schwartz turned his attention to the adult film industry where he starred as an actor and also worked behind the camera. He eventually returned to mainstream acting but is well known for his collection of celebrity-based trading cards. Schwartz also reprised his role as Flick for the HBO sequel to A Christmas Story . Zack Ward (Scut Farkus) Scut Farkus was the notorious bully in A Christmas Story and also returned for the 2022 sequel. "It's part of my life that I really couldn't separate away from," Ward told Newsweek in 2022. "And I'm sure the day that I die, they'll be like, 'Oh, by the way, Scut Farkus has passed, and his other name was Zack Ward.' So it's like being Batman, I guess." Other than starring in the Christmas classic, Ward has had a prolific acting career. Some of his credits include, American Horror Story , It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia , Mike and Molly , Liv and Maddie , three CSI shows, Hawaii Five-O , Cold Case and Transformers. Melinda Dillon (Mrs. Parker) Dillon had already won a Tony Award and been nominated twice for an Oscar before appearing in the Christmas film. She was nominated for an Academy Award for her roles in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Absence of Malice . She continued to work in many movies and TV shows, with some of her final roles coming in 2007, including the series Heartland and the film Reign Over Me with Adam Sandler. Dillon passed away in 2023 at the age of 83. Darren McGavin (Old Man) McGavin played Ralphie's very grumpy, but loving dad. He is probably most remembered in the movie for bringing out a lamp that looked like a leg in a fishnet stocking. After A Christmas Story, McGavin played Adam Sandler's billionaire dad in Billy Madison . McGavin was nominated for an Emmy in 1990 for a guest appearance on sitcom Murphy Brown. McGavin passed away from heart disease in 2006, aged 83. Yano Anaya (Grover Dill) The actor portrayed Scut Farkus' sidekick and continued to act, including reprising his role in the HBO sequel. Anaya made headlines in 2022 when the owner of the iconic house from A Christmas Story slammed him for taking selfies with fans outside the property, per TMZ. When the owner listed the property for sale, Anaya expressed an interest in buying it. "You guys ain't gonna buy this place. I'm never selling it to you," the man is heard telling Anaya in a video posted on TMZ.rich9 com login password 。

(“ASML” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ASML) and reminds investors of the January 13, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com . As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the issues being faced by suppliers, like ASML, in the semiconductor industry were much more severe than Defendants had indicated to investors; (2) the pace of recovery of sales in the semiconductor industry was much slower than Defendants had publicly acknowledged; (3) Defendants had created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to customer demand and anticipated growth, while also downplaying risk from macroeconomic and industry fluctuations, as well as stronger regulations restricting the export of semiconductor technology, including the products that ASML sells; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis. On October 15, 2024, ASML published earnings for the third quarter of 2024, revealing quarterly bookings of €2.63 billion, a decline of 53% quarter-over-quarter.

ZTE Company Maintains Revenue Growth Amid Market Challenges 12-27-2024 04:42 PM CET | Industry, Real Estate & Construction Press release from: Getnews / PR Agency: Global Social ZTE Company grappled with the effect of significant challenges in both global and domestic markets within the first three quarters of 2024. The geopolitical tensions and economic fluctuation resulted in unstable investment levels in the telecom sector - with many players under substantial pressure. Even amid such challenges, ZTE capitalized on new opportunities stemming from the growth of the ICT sector. Image: https://www.globalnewslines.com/uploads/2024/12/56891d603f205d43cab39962557b0875.jpg Modern technology and market-related innovations helped the company develop its main operational processes. ZTE saw double-digit growth internationally, primarily in key markets and among key telecom operators. The company also showed rapid growth in its consumer business and government enterprises, positioning it at an ideal spot to continue success despite the challenging global environment. ZTE Company Revenue Growth Amidst Market Challenges For the first three quarters of 2024, ZTE Company [ https://usawire.com/zte-corporation-unveils-cutting-edge-innovations/ ] reported revenue of RMB 90.04 billion (approximately USD 12.423 billion), which showed a year-on-year increase of 0.7%. Good market demand, diversified products, and strategic emphasis on innovation drove growth. Although there were fluctuations in the investment environment that led to pressures in the domestic operator network business, ZTE had some remarkable successes in international markets. Double-digit growth was maintained with major telecom operators across key countries, while consumer and government-enterprise businesses saw rapid expansion for ZTE. This was only possible because RMB 18.64 billion (approximately USD 2.571 billion) was invested in R&D, accounting for 20.7% of operating revenue. Supporting such growth was an innovation on 5G-A, all-optical networks, and intelligent computing, reflecting ZTE's resilience and ability to adapt to the most challenging global market. Net Profit Shows Positive Trend for ZTE Company The net profit of RMB 7.91 billion (roughly USD 9.071 billion) of ZTE Company represents positive profit growth achieved despite external pressures in the market. All these indicate that effective cost management and operational efficiency have come out as solid reasons for maintaining the profitability of ZTE. In this regard, optimization of resources and streamlining operations helped the company offset challenges in its domestic operator network business. ZTE's strategic focus on international markets, consumer products, and government-enterprise sectors contributed to its profitability. The company's strong market positioning and innovative solutions in ICT helped to sustain growth across diversified business segments. Operating activities generated net cash inflows of approximately RMB 8.05 billion (roughly USD 1.110 billion), which reflects a healthy cash position with strong liquidity. This favorable cash flow further enhances ZTE's operational health and enables the company to reinvest in more research and development to create additional shareholder value. The increase in profit and liquidity comprises a positive outlook for future investment and reinforces ZTE's commitment to delivering value to its stakeholders. Harnessing ICT Trends: ZTE's Strategic Advantage in a Dynamic Market Image: https://www.globalnewslines.com/uploads/2024/12/fb3e79e53df5af44d6962d13cb89563c.jpg ZTE has established itself as one of the mainstays within the global ICT sector, positioned consistently at or near the top in both wireless and wired market segments. It is ranked second globally in terms of shipments of 5G base stations and 5G [ https://www.zte.com.cn/global/solutions_latest/service_and_dgital_patform_01/5g.html ] core networks. The company features equally well in fixed network product market share, thereby underlining its position of strength in the area of telecommunications infrastructure. ZTE's RAN products, 5G core networks, and optical transport solutions continue to win leading ratings in the industry. The company's optical access products, which have gained much attention and recognition, added three more awards to its name at the Network X 2024 event. The latest solutions developed by ZTE include an 800G OTN pluggable solution capable of providing up to 2,000 km in transmission distance, along with the introduction of 50G PON technology for the intelligent optical access sector. Innovation Driving Market Growth ZTE is poised strategically to avail key trends in the ICT industry to drive market innovation and growth. As 5G transforms global communications, ZTE has developed next-generation solutions for such a connected world. Its 5G-A technology advances and expanded intelligent optical network capabilities are vital in maintaining network speed, reliability, and capacity. These technologies are particularly relevant in light of global efforts by various telecommunications companies and enterprises to modernize their infrastructure to support higher data volumes and more complex applications. ZTE's intelligent computing is another cornerstone for the company's strategic growth. Realizing the demands in computing power for different industries, ZTE has accordingly targeted intelligent computing as a long-term strategic priority. The company fully initiated the intelligent computing business, focusing on infrastructure and platform technologies, AI-powered applications, and large-scale data models. From AI servers and high-performance storage to intelligent computing platforms, every piece in ZTE's comprehensive intelligent computing solution series plays a critical role in the construction of edge and data centers, as well as AI applications at the terminal level. It allows the company to accommodate the ever-growing demand for high-performance computing across various vertical industries. Technological Leadership and Future Outlook ZTE still tries to innovate in technology. Through its product strategy, "AI for All," ZTE wants to provide top-of-the-line AI-powered solutions to many consumers. In the third quarter of 2024, the company rolled out various new AI-powered smartphones, including the Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Version and Nubia Z60S Pro satellite smartphone. These products are a leap forward in integrating AI, giving consumers advanced features for better usability and performance. In particular, the company has been focusing on making such technologies available in global markets, ensuring successful entries into new regions such as Argentina, Ethiopia, and Germany. This global expansion - added to the company's continued push in the terminal market - positions ZTE as a formidable consumer electronics and telecommunications competitor. With these innovations, strategic partnerships, and heavy investment in research and development, ZTE is well-positioned to continue leadership in the rapidly changing ICT market. The ability of the company to adapt with changing technological trends while simultaneously driving the market's growth is most likely to further reinforce its competitive advantage in years to come. ZTE Company has cemented its leadership position in wireless and wired markets, ranking second globally in 5G base station shipment and core network. Its exceptional performance in the market has been realized through a well-thought strategic concentration on capitalizing on hot trends in the ICT industry, including 5G modernization, AI, and intelligent computing. This continuous innovation and investment in R&D has made ZTE grow steadfastly and steadily in this dynamic market. Committed to extending its global scope and offering innovative solutions, ZTE remains in an excellent position to keep itself competitive and contribute toward the industry's digital transformation.
