They'll be back at home Wednesday to play the . The team is citing a return to competition reconditioning for Butler's absence, the same reason he missed its win over the on Thursday. Friday's update came a day after Heat president Pat Riley said the team is not trading Butler this season. League sources previously told ESPN's Shams Charania that the six-time All-Star Butler prefers a trade out of Miami ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline, and that he's open to trade destinations such as the , , and Houston Rockets. "We usually don't comment on rumors, but all this speculation has become a distraction to the team and is not fair to the players and coaches. Therefore, we will make it clear -- we are not trading Jimmy Butler," Riley said in a statement. Butler twisted an ankle in Miami's loss to the last Friday. He missed the remainder of that game and the next two Heat games -- at the Magic on Saturday and against the on Monday -- but with illness, not the ankle, cited as the reason. Butler, 35, is averaging 18.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists this season. He is one of the NBA's elite competitors and a perennial postseason performer. His teams have made the playoffs in 12 of his first 13 seasons, including the five previous seasons in Miami, where he has led the Heat to two NBA Finals berths and one additional Eastern Conference finals appearance.

Movie review: ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ a boundary-pushing prequel worthy of original filmDaltonganj: A 50-year-old security guard, Bal Gobind Prasad , who is also a ward member of the Kulgara village, was killed by suspected members of the banned Naxal splinter group, JJMP, at a construction site in Kulgara, Latehar, on Thursday night. Latehar SP Kumar Gaurav confirmed that the victim was attacked with a ‘Tangi’ (axe), and said no firearms were used in the crime. The attack occurred while Prasad was on duty at a small bridge (pulya) construction site. Police reports said approximately half a dozen assailants arrived at the site and separated Prasad and a ‘munshi’ from the other workers. While the munshi was spared, the attackers fatally struck Prasad on his neck. Police recovered a leaflet from the crime scene saying that the killing was linked to the bridge contractor’s faults. However, local sources indicated that the murder might be connected to disputes over extortion. The construction project had been stalled for approximately 18 months and the SP said work had resumed some weeks ago. When questioned about potential threats, the SP said contractor had not reported any recent extortion or threat calls. Sources said local village disputes might have played a role in the murder, given Prasad’s position as a ward member.

“The Young Turks” host Cenk Uygur pushed back Friday against progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen’s claim that President-elect Donald Trump’s supporters are unprincipled. Uygur spoke with Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk at AmericaFest (AmFest) on Saturday, addressing a conservative audience. Cohen , on his YouTube channel , suggested Uygur’s remarks at the event were likely futile in persuading the audience, claiming Trump supporters only believe in Trump , but “The Young Turks” host asserted the president-elect’s supporters are genuinely “anti-war” and “anti-corruption.” (RELATED: ‘Why The F*ck Are You Laughing?’: Piers Morgan Snaps At Left-Wing Journalist Smirking Over CEO’s Alleged Assassin) WATCH: “There are no long-standing principles that they abide by. This is the purported party of family values, the purported party of the Constitution, of law and order, of states’ rights, of fiscal responsibility,” Cohen said. “They will throw that shit out the window the moment, the millisecond, it becomes inconvenient for them and that’s what they did. But you’re saying these things to people as if they’re operating under some principle — that they should be against the establishment, that they should be against these donors — when they’re not.” “The only long-standing principle is their allegiance to Trump. And so my worry is that like, you trying to get through to them on these issues of principle is falling flat because it’s not principle that got them there in the first place,” he continued. “There is no long-standing principle when you are a Trump supporter.” Uygur told Cohen that he was both “right” and “wrong” in his analysis. “The Young Turks” host suggested Cohen was correct about what Trump supporters used to be like and about their “hypocrisy” about “family values.” “Now where’s the part where I think you’re wrong? And this is the part where people — I think I’m a little ahead of people and people think I’m being naive. So what I’m sensing, Brian, is from their audiences — and I’m not just sensing it like through intuition — they’re literally doing polls while I’m on their shows,” Uygur said. “They were doing interactions, calls. When I went to AmFest, talked to literally hundreds of guys who are MAGA, as, you know, they came up to talk to me, etc. And this is not the same base as Trump 2016.” “The Young Turks” host said some of Trump’s base is still identical to 2016, but that it is not monolithic. “The rest of MAGA are kind of bros and stuff, and they don’t really care about family values at all. In fact, a lot of the bros are pro-choice,” he said. “So like when you say that some people on the right agree with us on things like pro-choice or anti-corruption, the pushback I get from the left is, ‘No way, they’re all evil, they’re all a monolith, they’re all this, they’re all that.’ No, guys, that’s unsophisticated. Seventy-seven million people are not all the same thing.” “And remember, we don’t have to win or care that much about the outer edge of MAGA on the right. You’re never going to win those guys over and that’s not the issue. You’ve got to win over people on the inner edge that voted for Obama, that voted for Biden and now have voted for Trump,” Uygur continued. “And those folks are not radicals. Those folks need to be won over and they are different than what the base was before. And so what I’m sensing is on anti-war and anti-corruption, they really do mean it.” “The Young Turks” host said he does believe Trump is corrupt, but that he provided supporters the chance to recall that they are “supposed to be anti-corruption” and that the president-elect caters to his donors. “Remember, they’re not watching mainstream media. They’re not watching our shows, right? And their right-wing media hosts are not overly incentivized to point out Trump’s hypocrisy ... So, like for example, on anti-war, they are definitely anti-war. Definitely,” Uygur said. “They’re not even hypocritical about it. And so if you don’t believe me, I love you. It’s okay. I get it. We’ve all been burned hundreds of times, right? But if it turns out I’m right, what I’m hoping people go [is] ‘Oh yeah, Cenk told us this. I remember yelling at him about it, but it turns out, holy cow, they are anti-war.'” “On anti-corruption, I think that the instincts of some portion of their base are correct. But we’ve got to show them — without like ripping their face off — that maybe Trump is also corrupt,” he added. Uygur criticized both President Joe Biden’s and Vice President Kamala Harris during their 2024 presidential campaigns and recently condemned the Democratic Party’s focus on “identity politics.” However, he recently asserted that “there’s absolutely no chance” he would become “a fully-fledged member of MAGA” when British journalist Piers Morgan asked him about the prospect.

Some tech industry leaders are pushing the incoming Trump administration to increase visas for highly skilled workers from other nations.

The previous Trump administration did not increase the skilled visa program, instead clamping down on visas for students and educated workers, increasing denial rates. Not everyone in corporate America thinks the skilled worker program is great. Former workers at IT company Cognizant recently won a federal class-action lawsuit that said the company favored Indian employees over Americans from 2013 to 2022. A Bloomberg investigation found Cognizant, and other similar outsourcing companies, mainly used its skilled work visas for lower-level positions. Workers alleged Cognizant preferred Indian workers because they could be paid less and were more willing to accept inconvenient or less-favorable assignments. Question: Should the U.S. increase immigration levels for highly skilled workers? Caroline Freund, UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy YES: Innovation is our superpower and it relies on people. Sourcing talent from 8 billion people in the world instead of 330 million here makes sense. Nearly half our Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children. Growing them also relies on expanding our skilled workforce. The cap on skilled-worker visas has hardly changed since the computer age started. With AI on the horizon, attracting and building talent is more important than ever. Kelly Cunningham, San Diego Institute for Economic Research YES: After years of openly allowing millions of undocumented entrants into the country, why is there controversy over legally increasing somewhat the number having desirable skills? Undocumented immigration significantly impacts lower skill level jobs and wages competing with domestic workers at every skill level. Why should special cases be made against those having higher skills? Could they just not walk across the border anyway, why make it more inconvenient to those with desirable skills? James Hamilton, UC San Diego YES: Knowledge and technology are key drivers of the U.S. economy. Students come from all over the world to learn at U.S. universities, and their spending contributed $50 billion to U.S. exports last year. Technological advantage is what keeps us ahead of the rest of the world. Highly skilled immigrants contribute much more in taxes than they receive in public benefits. The skills immigrants bring to America can make us all better off. Norm Miller, University of San Diego YES: According to Forbes, the majority of billion-dollar startups were founded by foreigners. I’ve interviewed dozens of data analysts and programmers from Berkeley, UCSD, USD and a few other schools and 75% of them are foreign. There simply are not enough American graduates to fill the AI and data mining related jobs now exploding in the U.S. If we wish to remain a competitive economy, we need highly skilled and bright immigrants to come here and stay. David Ely, San Diego State University YES: Being able to employ highly skilled workers from a larger pool of candidates would strengthen the competitiveness of U.S. companies by increasing their capacity to perform research and innovate. This would boost the country’s economic output. Skilled workers from other nations that cannot remain in the U.S. will find jobs working for foreign rivals. The demand for H-1B visas far exceeds the current cap of 85,000, demonstrating a need to modify this program. Phil Blair, Manpower YES: Every country needs skilled workers, at all levels, to grow its economy. We should take advantage of the opportunity these workers provide our employers who need these skills. It should be blended into our immigration policies allowing for both short and long term visas. Gary London, London Moeder Advisors YES: San Diego is a premiere example of how highly skilled workers from around the globe enrich a community and its regional economy. Of course Visa levels need to be increased. But let’s go further. Tie visas and immigration with a provision that those who are admitted and educated at a U.S. university be incentivized, or even required, to be employed in the U.S. in exchange for their admittance. Bob Rauch, R.A. Rauch & Associates NO: While attracting high-skilled immigrants can fill critical gaps in sectors like technology, health care and advanced manufacturing, increasing high-skilled immigration could displace American workers and drive down wages in certain industries. There are already many qualified American workers available for some of these jobs. We should balance the need for specialized skills with the impact on the domestic workforce. I believe we can begin to increase the number of visas after a careful review of abuse. Austin Neudecker, Weave Growth YES: We should expand skilled visas to drive innovation and economic growth. Individuals who perform high-skilled work in labor-restricted industries or graduate from respected colleges with relevant degrees should be prioritized for naturalization. We depend on immigration for GDP growth, tax revenue, research, and so much more. Despite the abhorrent rhetoric and curtailing of visas in the first term, I hope the incoming administration can be persuaded to enact positive changes to a clearly flawed system. Chris Van Gorder, Scripps Health YES: But it should be based upon need, not politics. There are several industries that have or could have skilled workforce shortages, especially if the next administration tightens immigration as promised and expected. Over the years, there have been nursing shortages that have been met partially by trained and skilled nurses from other countries. The physician shortage is expected to get worse in the years to come. So, this visa program may very well be needed. Jamie Moraga, Franklin Revere NO: While skilled immigration could boost our economy and competitiveness, the U.S. should prioritize developing our domestic workforce. Hiring foreign nationals in sensitive industries or government-related work, especially in advanced technology or defense, raises security concerns. A balanced approach could involve targeted increases in non-sensitive high-demand fields coupled with investment in domestic STEM education and training programs. This could address immediate needs while strengthening the long-term STEM capabilities of the American workforce.

The midseason four-game winning streak that lifted the Arizona Cardinals into the playoff picture seemed as though it happened fast. Their subsequent free fall has been even more jarring. The Cardinals could have moved into a tie for first place in the NFC West with a home win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Instead, they were thoroughly outplayed in a 30-18 loss and are now tied for last in the tightly packed division. Arizona has lost three straight and will face an uphill battle to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2021. The Seahawks (8-5) are in first place, followed by the Rams (7-6), Cardinals (6-7) and 49ers (6-7). Even more daunting for their playoff hopes, the Cardinals lost both of their games against the Seahawks this season, meaning a tiebreaker would go to Seattle. Four games remain. “I just told them we put ourselves in a little bit of a hole now, but all you can do is attack tomorrow, learn tomorrow and have a good week of practice,” second-year coach Jonathan Gannon said. There are plenty of reasons the Cardinals lost to the Seahawks, including Kyler Murray's two interceptions, a handful of holding penalties, a porous run defense and a brutal missed field goal. It all adds up to the fact Arizona is playing its worst football of the season at a time when it needed its best. “I’m sure we’ll stick to our process, but we have to tweak some things,” Gannon said. "I have to tweak some things.” It's probably faint praise, but the Cardinals did make the game interesting in the second half while trying to fight back from a 27-10 deficit. Murray's shovel pass to James Conner for a 2-yard touchdown and subsequent 2-point conversion cut the margin to 27-18. The Cardinals had a chance to make it a one-score contest early in the fourth quarter, but Chad Ryland's 40-yard field goal attempt bounced off the left upright. “I thought we spotted them a lot of points there, but then we battled back,” Gannon said. “I appreciate their effort. That was good. We battled back there, had a couple chances to even cut the lead a little more, but ultimately didn’t get it done." Murray's in a bit of a mini-slump after throwing two interceptions in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. He also didn't do much in the run game against the Seahawks, with 16 yards on three carries. The quarterback's decision-making was nearly flawless for much of the season and the Cardinals need that good judgment to return. “I’m not looking at it like I have to try to be Superman,” Murray said. “I don’t think that’s the answer. I just need to play within the offense like we’ve done for the majority of the season. Today, I didn’t. Like I said, throwing two picks puts yourself behind the eight ball.” Said Gannon: “I thought he stuck in there and made some big time throws, though, but he has to protect the ball a little bit better. That’s not just him, that’s all 11. So there’ll be a lot of corrections off those plays." The defense didn't have its best day, but it's not Budda Baker's fault. The two-time All-Pro safety is having another phenomenal season and was all over the field against the Seahawks, finishing with 18 tackles. Baker's energy is relentless and he's the unquestioned leader of a group that has been better than expected this season, even with Sunday's mediocre performance. Left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. had a tough day, getting flagged for holding three times, though one of those penalties was declined by the Seahawks. The second-year player moved from right tackle to the left side during the offseason and the transition has gone well, but Sunday was a step backward. The Cardinals remain fairly healthy. DL Roy Lopez (ankle) and P Blake Gillikin (ankle) left Sunday's game, but neither injury is expected to be long term. 9 — It looks as if the Cardinals will go a ninth straight season without winning the NFC West. The last time they won the division was 2015 with coach Bruce Arians and a core offense of quarterback Carson Palmer, running back David Johnson and receiver Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals are in must-win territory now for any chance at the playoffs. They'll host the New England Patriots on Sunday. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
