Middle East latest: Israel and Hezbollah trade fire, threatening Lebanon ceasefireCOPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. (AP) — For a pair of lower-level downhill events, this sure had plenty of Olympic medal-capturing and World Cup-winning ski racers. The stage belonged to Lindsey Vonn , the 40-year-old who took another step on her comeback trail Saturday with her first races in nearly six years. Vonn wasn't particularly speedy and finished in the middle of the pack on a cold but sunny day at Copper Mountain. Times and places weren't the mission, though, as much as getting used to the speed again and gaining the necessary points to compete on the World Cup circuit this season. Vonn accomplished both, finishing 24th in the first downhill race of the day and 27th in the second. She posted on social media after the FIS races that she had enough points to enter World Cup events. The timing couldn't be more perfect — the next stop on the women's circuit is Beaver Creek, Colorado, in a week. Vonn, who used to own a home in nearby Vail, hasn't committed to any sort of timetable for a World Cup return. “Today was a solid start and I had a blast being in start with my teammates again!” Vonn wrote on X . “While I’m sure people will speculate and say I’m not in top form because of the results, I disagree. This was training for me. I’m still testing equipment and getting back in the groove.” Her competition — a veritable who's who of high-profile ski racers — applauded her efforts. “I don't expect her to come back and win — just that she comes back and she has fun,” said Federica Brignone of Italy, a former overall World Cup champion and three-time Olympic medallist. “She's having fun, and she’s doing what she loves. That’s the best thing that she could do.” In the first race on a frigid morning, Vonn wound up 1.44 seconds behind the winning time of 1 minute, 5.79 seconds posted by Mirjam Puchner of Austria. In her second race through the course later in the morning, Vonn was 1.53 seconds behind Cornelia Huetter of Austria, who finished in 1:05.99. Huetter is the reigning season-long World Cup downhill champion. “It’s really nice to compare with her again, and nice to have her (racing) again,” Huetter said. “For sure, for the skiing World Cup, we have a lot of more attention. It's generally good for all racers because everyone is looking.” Also in the field were Nadia Delago of Italy, who won a bronze medal in downhill at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, and Puchner, the Olympic silver winner in super-G in Beijing. In addition, there was Marta Bassino of Italy, a winner of the super-G at the 2023 world championships, and two-time Olympic champion Michelle Gisin of Switzerland. “For me, it was really a training, but it was fun to have a World Cup race level right here,” Gisin said. “It was a crazy race.” Vonn remains a popular figure and took the time after each run to sign autographs for young fans along with posing for photos. When she left the sport, Vonn had 82 World Cup race victories — including 18 in Lake Louise, Alta. — which stood as the record for a woman and within reach of the all-time Alpine record of 86 held by Swedish standout Ingemar Stenmark. The women’s mark held by Vonn was surpassed in January 2023 by Mikaela Shiffrin, who now has 99 wins — more than any alpine ski racer in the history of the sport. Shiffrin is currently sidelined after a crash in a giant slalom event in Killington, Vermont , last weekend. Vonn’s last major race was in February 2019, when she finished third in a downhill during the world championships in Sweden. The three-time Olympic medallist left the circuit still near the top of her game. But all the broken arms and legs, concussions and torn knee ligaments took too big a toll and sent her into retirement. She had a partial knee replacement last April and felt good enough to give racing another shot. “It's very impressive to see all the passion that Lindsey still has,” Gisin said. Also racing Saturday was 45-year-old Sarah Schleper, who once competed for the United States but now represents Mexico. Schleper was the next racer behind Vonn and they got a chance to share a moment between a pair of 40-somethings still racing. “I was like, ‘Give me some tips, Lindsey,’” Schleper said. “She’s like, ‘Oh, it’s a highway tuck, the whole thing.’ Then she’s like, ‘It’s just like the good old days.’" ___ AP skiing: https://apnews.com/hub/alpine-skiing Pat Graham, The Associated PressATLANTA , Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- KORE Group Holdings, Inc.

What happens when 'The Simpsons' join 'Monday Night Football'? Find out during Bengals-Cowboys
CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals have found all manner of ways to lose close games this season. Sunday's 44-38 loss to AFC North rival Pittsburgh can be blamed on a defense that missed tackles and allowed 520 yards of offense, and three turnovers by Joe Burrow. It's become a familiar story in this disappointing season. Cincinnati (4-8) keeps scoring lots of points but can't close out games. Seven of the Bengals’ eight losses this year have been by one score. Burrow has stopped talking about the possibility of going on a run and making the playoffs. He'd just like to win another game or two. “Playoffs are the furthest thing from my mind,” the fifth-year quarterback said. “You never know what can happen, so I’ll keep putting one foot in front of the other and try to be the best player I can be for the rest of the season, week in and week out.” The Bengals allowed Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson to throw for a season-high 414 yards and three touchdowns. After Wilson threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown, the Steelers (9-3) scored on seven of their last nine possessions. They didn't punt until early in the fourth quarter. Burrow lost two fumbles and threw an interception. “We haven’t done enough to earn the win,” coach Zac Taylor said. “It’s a simple as that. It’s nobody else’s fault but our own. We haven’t earned it.” Turnovers aside, Burrow had another strong game, finishing with 28 for 38 for 309 yards with three touchdowns. Burrow is having a great season statistically, and he hasn't hidden his disappointment and frustration about Cincinnati's narrow losses. ... WR Ja'Marr Chase had a touchdown catch to bring his league-leading total to 13. The defense missed tackles and couldn't hold off the Steelers, even with Burrow keeping the game close. It didn’t help that LB Logan Wilson (knee) and DT Sheldon Rankins (illness) had to sit out. The Bengals have allowed 34 or more points six times, including in four of the past five games. Cincinnati became the first NFL team to lose four games in a season in which it scored 33 points or more. RB Chase Brown has been dependable as the featured back since Zack Moss went down with a neck injury. He rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers. He also had three catches for 30 yards. The second-year back has 677 yards rushing and six TDs. “He’s really coming along, improving his game every single week,” Burrow said. “Pass game, run game, running hard, understanding his protection responsibilities. He’s a guy that practices hard, plays hard, and a guy you can count on.” The Bengals' coaching staff. Something has got to give. There was no excuse for the defense to play this badly after a bye week. The unit gave up 500-plus yards for the second time this season. None were reported in the game. 30.3 — The average points per game by the Bengals against teams with a .500 or better record this season. They are 0-7 in those games. The Bengals will try to regroup before facing the Dallas Cowboys (5-7) next Monday night.

Sukhbir Singh Badal, the former Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab and president of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), is at the centre of attention after he survived an assassination bid by a pro-Khalistan sympathiser. Mr. Badal, who was found to be tankhaiya, or guilty of religious misconduct, was performing penance for his ‘mistakes’ at the Golden Temple, the central place for worship for the Sikhs in Punjab’s Amritsar, on December 4 when a former militant, Narain Singh, opened fire at him. The two-time former Deputy Chief Minister escaped unhurt as the assailant was overpowered by security personnel. On December 2, Akal Takht, the highest Sikh temporal seat, had pronounced religious punishment for Mr. Badal and several other Akali Dal leaders for the “mistakes” committed by the SAD government during 2007 to 2017. Sukhbir’s rise in politics was a foretold story. He became the youngest ever president of the SAD in 2008, after he took over from his father Parkash Singh Badal, the former Punjab Chief Minister. Born on July 9, 1962 in Punjab’s Faridkot, Sukhbir completed his school education at The Lawrence School, Sanawar, in Himachal Pradesh, and later completed MA (Economics) in Punjab University. He also has an MBA from California State University, Los Angeles. His political career kicked off in the late 1990s. Sukhbir firmed up his grip over the party by mid-2000. He stayed as Deputy Chief Minister from 2009-2017. He remained a member of the Lok Sabha four times, and served as Union Minister of State for Industry during 1998-99 in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led government. He was a member of the Rajya Sabha during 2001 to 2004. The Assembly elections in Punjab in 2012 proved a milestone in his political career as he was credited with steering the SAD–BJP alliance to a historic win, beating anti-incumbency sentiments. His agenda surrounding ‘development for all’ and making the SAD a ‘catch all party’ appeared to have paid favourable electoral outcome. However, in 2017, when the SAD-BJP alliance was voted out, the same agenda came under scrutiny, and senior party leaders started pointing fingers at Sukhbir’s leadership competency. After enjoying political dominance in Punjab for close to two decades, his journey started to witness new challenges amid controversies and a waning support. Election defeat Towards the end of its rule in the State, the SAD had to face severe criticism over several issues — including the pardon granted to Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim in a blasphemy case and the Kotkapura-Behbal Kalan police firing incidents of 2015, which followed after the sacrilege of ‘Guru Granth Sahib’ at Bargari village. Two persons were killed in the police firing in Behbal Kalan of Faridkot district during protests. After the SAD’s dismal performance in the 2017 and 2022 Assembly elections, a sense among several senior (Taksali) leaders was that during the Akali Dal’s 10 years (2007-2017) of rule in Punjab, the party had come under the sway of the “Badal family”. Sukhbir’s attempt to change the basic character of the party, making it a “catch-all” party seeking votes in the name of the region (Punjab) instead of Sikh “panth” had not gone down well with many senior leaders, who felt that the party had deviated from its core ideology of giving voice to Sikh issues. Sukhbir’s acceptance of his “mistakes” and his plea for forgiveness from the ‘panth’ (the Sikh community) are being seen as a last-ditch effort to revitalise the party. In the recent Lok Sabha election, the SAD won only one seat out of the 13 parliamentary constituencies in the State. The loss was a grim reminder of the trouble that the SAD was facing, following its drubbings in the 2017 and 2022 Assembly polls. The immediate challenge before Sukhbir, who has tendered resignation as party president, which is yet to be accepted, would be to win back the faith of the ‘panth’. Many believe it could only be possible through his selfless actions towards the cause of the ‘panth’ and Punjab, not just through apology and ‘penance’. Published - December 08, 2024 01:57 am IST Copy link Email Facebook Twitter Telegram LinkedIn WhatsApp Reddit Punjab / The Hindu Explains / The Hindu ProfilesLAS VEGAS — Bet this: That following a 19-14 win by the Las Vegas Raiders over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium, after the home team had snapped its 10-game losing streak, a certain amount of fans was disappointed in the outcome. Maybe a whole lot of them. They are the ones hoping for the highest draft pick possible for the Raiders. The ones who are sure a franchise quarterback exists within the top few selections. The ones who believe a Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward can make all the difference in turning the fortunes of this team around. That either can be the reason all this losing stops. Do you know who couldn’t care less about any of that? Players and coaches. Nor should they. Tanking has never been part of their vocabulary. The Raiders are 3-12 after turning away Jacksonville, and for it, would hold the No. 6 pick in the draft should it commence today. Prior to kickoff Sunday, they owned a top-two pick. Yeah. Big difference. They’re now behind the Giants, Browns and Titans — all three of which will likely also be looking to upgrade at quarterback. “It has been a minute since we (won),” wide receiver Jakobi Meyers said. “Forgot for a second what it feels like. But guys are never going to quit. We hear about (draft picks) and all that, but we’re professionals. You always hear it when you’re having a bad season — you hear it across the league. But we do our best to win every play every day. And wherever the ball falls, it falls.” ‘We want to win’ It fell in their side of the ledger Sunday, the Raiders proving the better of two bad football teams. You know things are a little slow when one of the biggest end-zone celebrations occurred when the cheer team announced winners of Dancer of the Year, Rookie of the Year and Raiderette of the Year. Congrats to all. It’s too hard a game to give anything but your maximum effort. Too violent an existence to care about anything other than beating the guy opposite of you. There’s too much on the line. “For us, we work hard every single day,” running back Alexander Mattison said. “The outcome is always going to be that we want to win and make plays on that field and come out victorious. “We don’t think about the politics of it, even though everybody else out there does. It’s not what we care about. We want to win every game and dominate. Glad we were able to do that today — especially when you haven’t won in so long.” Fans might not want to hear it. There is a faction that might term Sunday’s victory one of the worst in team history given how much it moved the Raiders down the draft order. And who knows what they might think should the team win one or both of its last two games. Which is altogether possible. The Saints are 5-9 and without starting quarterback Derek Carr, and the Chargers, by the time they visit to close out the regular season here, could have a playoff seed wrapped up. Who knows if quarterback Justin Herbert will even play against the Raiders. Hard to win “It is so hard to win in this league,” Mattison said. “When you’re this close so many times ... We were hungry for it. We just want to finish the season strong. If we can do that, we’ll feel good about the spot we’re in. “We try and be where our feet are. We can’t change the past, but we can continue to work every single day like we’ve been doing.” That’s all they know. That’s all they care about. Fans can worry about draft picks, and, well, that’s not to say they’re wrong. This franchise needs a future at the game’s most important position. Nothing bad for thinking that way. But it’s not how players and coaches go about their business. Not how professionals act. Tanking isn’t part of their DNA. Too hard a game. Too much on the line. ©2024 Las Vegas Review-Journal.
