WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell fell and sprained his wrist while walking out of a GOP luncheon on Tuesday, the latest in a series of medical incidents for him in recent years. McConnell, who is stepping down from his leadership post at the end of the year, was walking out of his weekly party lunch with Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso when he tripped and fell, Barrasso said, before walking back to his office on his own. Medical personnel were seen heading into his office minutes later.

Is this how astronauts felt on the first Apollo missions? Strapped into the fastest-accelerating car ever sold to the public, Porsche’s Taycan Turbo GT is like a space shuttle on the launch pad. Twisting the driver mode dial on the steering wheel all the way to the right, we lock in “attack mode” to generate maximum power – a staggering 815kW of maximum thrust. That’s eleven hundred horsepower. In a polished luxury sedan you can drive to work. Porsche’s Taycan Turbo GT is Australia’s quickest car. A final systems check shows all is well. I can see the track ahead is clear, and hear a calm voice in my helmet’s earpieces confirming we are go for launch. Sweaty palms protected by fireproof gloves grip the velvet fuzz of the steering wheel as my left boot holds down the brake, my right foot floors the throttle, and my right thumb pushes a boost button on the steering wheel. What happens next is other-worldly. Fat Pirellis bite into the tarmac like a sprinter’s spiked shoes, launching the $450,000 sedan out of the blocks with real ferocity. There’s an initial kick up the pants before it feels as though a giant is sitting on your chest, squeezing you into the seat as the electric sedan explodes for the horizon. The Taycan Turbo GT delivers on track. Your stomach drops as though you’ve just fallen out of a tree. Or realised you forgot to pick up the kids from school. It’s genuinely sickening. A distant synthesised whirr plays through the speakers as it streaks beyond 100km/h just 2.3 seconds after launch. That’s not just quick – it’s the quickest. No standard car can match the Taycan Turbo GT’s straight-line thrust. Not one. America’s Car and Driver magazine recently strapped their timing gear to a Turbo GT and recorded a 0-60mph (96.5km/h) time of 1.898 seconds, which is faster than any Bugatti, Ferrari, Lambo or Tesla. Ever. Porsche claims the quarter mile can be dispatched in 9.5 seconds. Porsche’s contender is the dynamic benchmark for EVs. The downside is you won’t get many chances to use that power. Australian drag racing rules require cars that exceed 140mph (225km/h) or run sub-10-second times in the quarter mile to be equipped with a purpose-built racing seat, a six-point roll cage and an emergency parachute. You might only get one run before being sent home forever. And Queensland’s Willowbank Raceway will turn you away at the gate, having banned electric cars from running on the strip. An optional ‘Weissach Pack’ makes it even quicker. Obviously this sort of performance must be used very carefully on public roads. It’s supremely quiet and comfortable on the highway, offering little clue as to the ultimate performance of its dual electric motors. Competent without being truly engaging in the bends, the ultimate Taycan won’t let you scratch the surface of its potential without breaking the law, and the silent motors mean there is little in the way of traditional fizz to keep you smiling. And it’s not really a track car. The 2.3 tonne Taycan goes like a rocket, but needs plenty of room to stop. It’s nothing like as agile – or engaging – as a traditional sports car on track, with little of the feel and feedback of Porsche’s finest efforts. I can close my eyes and remember myriad details from a drive in a screaming 911 GT3 years ago, but have largely forgotten how the Taycan turned last week. Porsches are normally rock-solid on track, but we had three software glitches on circuit that required the car to be temporarily parked for system resets. No, the issues weren’t terminal. But you might want to bring diagnostic tools and an experienced Porsche technician along for the ride at track days. Carbon ceramic brakes help owners stay in control. Then again, you wouldn’t expect to launch a lunar mission without a support crew. Like NASA itself, the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT is an expensive and impressive technical achievement that opens the door to a new world of technology. Even if it is of minimal real-world relevance to you or I. VERDICT Four stars Australia’s quickest car is an unquestionably rapid triumph of technology. PORSCHE TAYCAN TURBO GT PRICE : About $450,000 drive-away MOTOR: Electric dual-motors, 815kW/1340Nm WARRANTY/SERVICE: 3-yr/unlimited km SAFETY: Eight airbags, auto emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind-spot warning, attention assist and speed assist RANGE: About 500km BOOT: 407 litres SPARE: Repair kit Originally published as Porsche Taycan Turbo GT review More related stories Motoring News Would you pay $150k for a Hyundai?

Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen seemed to sense the question might arise after his club was eliminated from playoff consideration Sunday with a ghastly 45-33 loss to the host New York Giants in East Rutheford, N.J. The Giants were 2-13 and had lost a franchise-record 10 straight games entering the contest and their season-high point total Sunday more than tripled their season average of 14.3 points per game. It was the type of bad loss that leads to head coaches being asked about their job security. "I control what I can control," Steichen said of the employment situation. The Colts (7-9) were outplayed all contest by the team that entered the day with the worst record in the NFL -- and with their playoff hopes on the line. Last season, Steichen's first as Indianapolis coach, the Colts also fell short, losing to the Houston Texans in the final week of the season to miss the playoffs. "It was as disappointing as it gets," Steichen said of the setback against the Giants. "As the leader of a football team, shoot, I always say I've got to be better, we've all got to be better. That's a group effort, everyone's got to chip in and do their part, so stuff like that doesn't happen." Giants quarterback Drew Lock passed for 309 yards and tied his career high of four touchdowns while also running for a score. Meanwhile, the Colts also went with a reserve quarterback in veteran Joe Flacco and he turned the ball over three times on two interceptions and a fumble. He also passed for 330 yards. Flacco started because rookie Anthony Richardson couldn't play due to back and foot injuries. Indianapolis completes the season next weekend at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. "I know it's a tough situation, obviously, when you're out of the playoff hunt, but again, I told (the team) we've got to be professional about it," Steichen said. "That's the biggest thing. We've got to show up and do our job still with one week left." The Colts last made the playoffs in the 2020 season. Their last playoff win was two seasons earlier.

Uniformed police officers could be seen Sunday both inside and outside Montreal’s Palais des congres convention centre as the annual meeting continued with no signs of demonstrations, although some protesters had planned a “counter-summit” at a community centre just north of downtown. Chief Fady Dagher told reporters on Saturday that more arrests would be coming thanks to additional evidence gathered during the protests, adding that police were aware of who was behind the vandalism including smashed windows and burned cars as well as alleged assaults on police officers. Police said that during the march, smoke bombs were deployed, metal barriers were thrown into the street and windows smashed of nearby businesses and the convention centre where delegates from NATO parliamentary assembly, including members and partner states, gathered for a session set to wrap Monday. Among the issues being broached were support for Ukraine, climate change and the future of the alliance. Dagher estimated that about 800 people took part in protests from several groups, but about 20 to 40 people were allegedly responsible for the trouble. “I do not want to advertise these groups and glorify these groups, it is a big trap to do so,” Dagher said. “But I can assure to you ... it is a few groups.” Montreal police arrested three people following Friday’s demonstration — a 22-year-old woman who was arrested for allegedly obstructing police work and assaulting a police officer and two men, 22 and 28, also each facing a charge for allegedly obstructing police work. All are scheduled to appear in court at a later date. “Despite what you saw in the images, last-minute impromptu events are extremely difficult to anticipate,” Dagher added. “We have other pieces of evidence. So probably we will have other arrests.” Friday night’s protest was condemned by politicians of all stripes Saturday as acts of antisemitism, which one organizer rejected, saying the protests were against the actions of the state of Israel and not Jewish people. On Sunday, the Divest for Palestine Collective denounced what it called “dishonest attempts” of politicians to hijack the “anti-militarist, anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist messages” delivered by protesters. In an emailed statement, it refuted allegations of antisemitism. “These are false accusations aimed at delegitimizing the solidarity movement for the liberation of Palestine and undermining the fight against antisemitism,” the group wrote. The group defended setting ablaze a doll representing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the protest. Earlier this week, the International Court of Justice issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu as well as his former defence minister and Hamas members. “It is a legitimate expression of collective anger against the political indifference at the heart of an ongoing colonial genocide,” the collective said. The collective also denounced what it called police violence against demonstrators, saying at least four protesters had to be taken to hospital with various injuries. Dagher said he could not make a firm link between Friday’s acts and antisemitism, but added that since the Oct. 7 attacks more than one year ago, incidents and acts of antisemitism and Islamophobia have both increased enormously in the city. The police chief however, defended his officers handling of Friday’s event, which he felt could have been much worse. He added he would spend the rest of the weekend with his officers on the ground to lend support.'Counterintuitive – and dangerous': Agency that fights foreign disinformation may shutter

Here are the biggest trailers from the 2024 Game AwardsLANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Jimmy Carter was honored with a moment of silence before the Atlanta Falcons’ game at the Washington Commanders on Sunday night, hours after the 39th president of the United States died at the age of 100 in Plains, Georgia. Beyond being a Georgia native who led the country from the White House less than 8 miles (12 kilometers) away during his time in office from 1977-81, Carter was the first president to host the NFL's Super Bowl champions there when he welcomed the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1980.

San Francisco confirmed hours before kickoff that linebacker Greenlaw, who suffered his devastating injury running onto the field in the second quarter of Super Bowl 58, had been activated from the PUP list to the 53-man roster. He takes the place of guard Ben Bartch, who has been placed on injured reserve. Star defensive end Bosa, meanwhile, was on Wednesday listed as questionable with the hip/oblique injuries that have seen him miss the last three games. But ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year is likely to make his return, though Bosa will test his injuries out pregame before a final decision is made. With the 49ers set to face a Rams offense that was red hot in Los Angeles' thrilling win over the Buffalo Bills last week, the emotional lift from Greenlaw's return and the pass-rushing prowess of Bosa could be huge in allowing San Francisco to slow down Matthew Stafford and Co. On the offensive side of the ball, the 49ers made an additional move, elevating running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn from the practice squad. Vaughn provides extra depth in the backfield with rookie starter Isaac Guerendo battling a foot sprain. Guerendo is expected to play. Israel Abanikanda, claimed off waivers last week after Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason suffered season-ending injuries, appears likely to once again be inactive as he acclimates to the offense.

LARAMIE – Leaders at the University of Wyoming gave themselves another day to deliberate whether they will allow permit holders to carry concealed firearms inside campus facilities. After months of discussion, surveys and public forums, the UW Board of Trustees postponed a scheduled Thursday vote on changing the university’s “ Storing Or Carrying Dangerous Weapons In University Facilities ” policy. Trustee John McKinley, chairman of the board’s legislative committee, told the board that as late as Wednesday night, leaders were discussing amendments to the proposed rule change. Those late changes included prohibiting firearms in the residence halls, Half Acre Recreation and Wellness Center, and at the Early Care and Education Center. John McKinley The latest draft rule also was amended to remove a provision for reciprocity to permit holders from other states, so only Wyoming concealed carry permit holders would be allowed to carry firearms into other facilities on campus, including classrooms. McKinley suggested that following additional public comment Thursday morning, the committee should meet one more time, with any final amendments to be ready for a Friday morning vote. Public comment Thursday, made largely by students, faculty and staff, was primarily in opposition of the rule change — amended or not. “An increase in gun ownership and lax concealed carry laws are associated with increased suicides, particularly in emerging adults, also known as college-age adults,” said Hannah Phalen, an assistant professor of psychology. Phalen said data shows that on campuses that allow concealed carry, 42% of successful suicide attempts are conducted with a firearm, compared to only 13% on campuses that do not allow concealed carry. “I was excited to see that the new proposed rule includes (as an exception) residence halls. But I also urge the board to go further and exclude all campus housing from this rule,” Phalen said. Caroline McCracken-Flesher, director of the Center for Global Studies and an English professor, pointed out that the rule change also exempts those who get to vote on it — but not those who do not. “Among the exemptions listed in this document, places of education are conspicuous by their absence,” McCracken-Flesher said, listing protected spaces such as governmental and trustees meetings. “In other words, places frequented by those who vote on this document,” she said. “What is not protected from firearms are classrooms (and) faculty offices. University classrooms and faculty offices are places of ideas. That means they are necessarily places of contention, they are places of great anxiety, they are places of academic rivalry. “They are not places for weapons,” McCracken-Flesher said. A student walks past White Hall on Oct. 19, 2018. One University of Wyoming College of Law student, Brandon Calloway, spoke in favor of the rule change, arguing that it would “close critical safety gaps” on campus, where concealed carry is allowed outside of, but not inside, university facilities. “Here is the stark reality,” Calloway said. “No one knows whether someone is already carrying a concealed firearm inside university facilities.” Under the current policy, he argued, “uncertainty prevails,” and the change would eliminate contradiction. Several students asked university leadership why — at a time when they said on-campus mental health and morale are markedly low — leaders are focusing on concealed carry on campus. “Why? Why is this the main discussion on campus right now?” Elementary Education major Liz Pearson asked. “We have a huge mental health crisis on campus. Why aren’t we talking about that?” UW President Ed Seidel reminded the room that during the 2024 legislative session, both the House and Senate approved House Bill 125 - Repeal gun free zones , which would have permitted anyone with a concealed carry permit to carry weapons into Wyoming’s K-12 public schools, as well as the university. That bill was vetoed by Gov. Mark Gordon, who then directed state agencies to begin developing their own policies. Ed Seidel “A number of you ask — and I understand why you ask — you ask, ‘Why are we here today?’” Seidel said. “As Wyoming’s public university, we do have a responsibility to respond to our state leadership and to reinforce the state’s constitution.” UW Board of Trustees Chairman Kermit Brown urged all those present Thursday to approach the Legislature in 2025, when this same topic comes up again. “There will be a bill, and that bill is going to be an overarching reach that would go over the top of all of the rules the university makes, all the rules anybody makes,” said Brown, who is a former state lawmaker. He continued that the trustees are trying to create a university-only policy that could satisfy lawmakers’ wishes. In the end, though, Brown pointed out that lawmakers have the ability to overrule university leadership. “We are trying to find a position that maybe will be acceptable to the Legislature, but we don’t know whether the Legislature will accept it, or whether it will cast all this aside and do their own thing,” he said. Kermit Brown “So, if you were passionate, and if you were dedicated today to the position you took with this board, you have to understand: You have to go to Cheyenne. When they have those hearings, and they have those meetings, you have to talk to your individual legislators, and you have to go to Cheyenne and make your voice known,” Brown continued. “They hear you when you go over there, and it is important that you go over there and appear in person. Make the same kind of presentation that you did here. And take everybody with you.” Get any of our free email newsletters — news headlines, sports, arts & entertainment, state legislature, CFD news, and more.
