The Jets’ kicking situation is up in the air. Does that sound familiar? In the wake of Anders Carlson missing an extra point and a field goal in the 19-9 loss to the Rams , the Jets signed Greg Joseph to the practice squad. Joseph is the fourth kicker the team has employed this season since Greg Zuerlein struggled and was placed on IR with a left knee injury . Riley Patterson, Spencer Shrader and Carlson have filled in since. If Joseph kicks on Sunday, he’ll be the fifth kicker they’ve used this season. “We’re going to let these guys compete as the week goes on and see how it goes, put the best guy out there,” interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said. He said bringing Zuerlein off IR is “absolutely been part of the conversation.’’ Asked if Zuerlein is healthy enough to kick again, Ulbrich said, “We’re going to see how he’s doing, and if he’s feeling up to it and he’s feeling good, then we’ll open up his [practice] window.’’ The Jets’ previous game against the Bills, in Week 6 at home, was Ulbrich’s debut as the team’s interim head coach. Robert Saleh had just been fired. Tuesday, Ulbrich recalled the day of that game. “It was exciting, it was nerve-racking, it was overwhelming, it was fun, it was all of those things,” he said. “Every emotion that you could imagine I felt, and it was a blur in a lot of ways. Since then, felt like I’ve settled in and I’m getting much more comfortable in this role. But yeah, it was definitely a whirlwind that night.’’Renowned for his economic reforms and steadfast commitment to secularism, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has passed away at the age of 92. His death was confirmed by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi, on Thursday night. Singh's contribution to India was recognized on social media by several political parties. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) expressed their sorrow, highlighting Singh's dedication to democracy and the pluralist ethos of India. They extended condolences to Singh's family, noting his influential role in shaping the country's political landscape. Recalling Singh's words, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya remarked on Singh's enduring belief in his leadership, despite criticism. As India reflects on his legacy, many acknowledge his assertion that 'history will be kinder than contemporary media.' (With inputs from agencies.)

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With POETSTUTTGART, Germany (AP) — Players from Swiss team Young Boys held up teammate Meschack Elia's shirt as a tribute during their Champions League game at Stuttgart after his son died this week. Lukasz Lakomy gave Young Boys the lead with a powerful long-range shot in the sixth minute Wednesday and ran toward the sideline, where he held up Elia's shirt as his teammates gathered around him. Young Boys said in a statement earlier Wednesday that one of Elia's sons had “died completely unexpectedly following a short illness” in Elia's home country of Congo. The 27-year-old Elia had been informed Tuesday evening and was on his way to Congo to be with his family, the club added. Both teams wore black armbands during the game, and there was a moment of silence before kickoff. Stuttgart won the game 5-1 to leave the Swiss champion with its sixth loss from six games. Young Boys captain Loris Benito said the game and the result meant little to his team in the circumstances. “I honestly have to tell you that this evening is not about sport at all for us, but about the tragedy that we experienced yesterday,” Benito told broadcaster DAZN. “It is so unimaginable and everything else is irrelevant when you experience this.” AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerNEW YORK — The man accused of burning a woman to death inside a New York City subway train used a shirt to fan the flames, a prosecutor said Tuesday at his arraignment on murder charges. Sebastian Zapeta, 33, who federal immigration officials said is a Guatemalan citizen who entered the U.S. illegally, was not required to enter a plea and did not speak at the hearing in Brooklyn criminal court. Zapeta, wearing a white jumpsuit over a weathered black hooded sweatshirt, will remain jailed at the city's Rikers Island complex and is due back in court on Friday. His lawyer did not ask for bail. Zapeta is charged with two counts of murder, accusing him of intentionally killing the woman and killing her while committing arson. He is also charged with one count of arson. The top charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez called the attack a “gruesome and senseless act of violence” and said it would be “met with the most serious consequences.” The apparently random attack occurred Sunday morning on an F train that was stopped at the Coney Island station. The victim's identification is still pending. Authorities say Zapeta approached the woman, who may have been sleeping in the train, and set her clothing on fire with a lighter. Zapeta then fanned the flames with a shirt, engulfing her in fire, Assistant District Attorney Ari Rottenberg said in court Tuesday. Zapeta then sat on a bench on the subway platform and watched, Rottenberg said. According to Rottenberg, Zapeta told detectives that he didn’t know what happened but identified himself in images of the attack. Zapeta's lawyer, public defender Andrew Friedman, did not speak to reporters after the arraignment. A message seeking comment was left for him. Video on social media appears to show some people looking on from the platform and at least one police officer walking by while the woman is on fire inside the train. NYPD Transit Chief Joseph Gulotta said Sunday that several officers responded to the fire and one stayed to keep the crime scene “the way it’s supposed to be" while the others went to get fire extinguishers and transit workers. “Officers who were on patrol on an upper level of that station smelled and saw smoke and went to investigate. What they saw was a person standing inside the train car fully engulfed in flames,” Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. They eventually put the fire out, but “unfortunately, it was too late,” Tisch said, and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Zapeta was taken into custody Sunday afternoon while riding a train on the same subway line after teenagers recognized him from images circulated by the police. A Brooklyn address for Zapeta released by police matches a shelter that provides housing and substance abuse support. The shelter did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Federal immigration officials said Zapeta was deported in 2018 but later reentered the U.S. illegally. The crime deepened a growing sense of unease among some New Yorkers about the safety of the subway system, amplified by graphic video of the attack that ricocheted across social media. Overall, crime is down in the transit system compared to last year. Major felonies declined 6% between January and November compared to the same time period last year, according to data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. But murders are up, with nine killings this year through November compared to five during the same period last year. There have also been several high-profile incidents, including one in September where police inadvertently shot two bystanders and a fellow officer when they opened fire on a man holding a knife in front of a train. Earlier this month, a Manhattan jury acquitted former Marine Daniel Penny in the chokehold death last year of an agitated subway rider. The case became a flashpoint in debates over safety, homelessness and mental illness on the system. Policing the subway is difficult, given the vast network of trains moving between 472 stations. Each stop contains multiple entry points and, in many stations, multiple floors and platforms.
BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCES NEW RESEARCH COLLABORATION WITH THE GUTHRIE CLINICNBC10 has obtained the body camera footage showing the arrest of the driver accused of hitting and killing NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew while drunk. In the video from Aug. 29, 2024, 43-year-old Sean Higgins can be seen standing and smoking a cigarette while officers ask him questions about what led up to the crash. > Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are The video runs just under 10 minutes and shows police running various tests on Higgins to see if he was intoxicated. Then around 7 minutes into the video, an officer places handcuffs on Higgins and he is arrested. At the end of the video, Higgins turns to the officer and asks, "Is everyone okay back there? I mean, what happened?" Johnny and Matty Gaudreau killed John Gaudreau, 31, and Matthew Gaudreau, 29, were riding their bikes north on County Route 551 in Oldmans Township on Thursday at 8:19 p.m. At the same time, Sean Higgins, 43, of Woodstown, New Jersey, was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee north on County Route 551, according to investigators. Higgins tried to pass two vehicles ahead of him and entered the southbound lanes, police said. An SUV in front of Higgins moved to the middle of the roadway, splitting the north and south lanes in order to safely pass the Gaudreau brothers as they rode their bikes on the right side of the road, according to investigators. Higgins then tried to pass the SUV and struck the Gaudreau brothers, police said. Both brothers died from their injuries. New Jersey state troopers responded to the crash and spoke with Higgins on Pennsville Auburn Road, investigators said. One of the troopers noticed Higgins' breath smelled like alcohol, according to the criminal complaint. Higgins allegedly admitted to drinking five to six beers prior to the crash. Investigators also said Higgins failed a sobriety test. Higgins was arrested and charged with two counts of death by auto and is currently lodged in the Salem County Correctional Facility. Higgins had previous driving violations NBC10 obtained the New Jersey driver history for Higgins. Our investigators found that Higgins had previously been stopped by police for unsafe driving and other violations. According to court records, Higgins had two prior cases in North Carolina during the early 2000s. The records show he was charged with DWI in 2005 but the charges were voluntarily dismissed due to the officer involved not showing up in court. Higgins also had a speeding ticket in 2001 that was dismissed because of his good driving record at the time. Through an open records request to New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission, we were able to see that Higgins was involved in two car crashes: One in 2016 and the other in 2021. Higgins remains jailed as he awaits trail in connection to this deadly crash that happened in August. The decision to continue Sean Higgins' detention in Salem County Jail was made during a Friday, Sept. 13, during a Zoom detention hearing in front of Superior Court judge Michael Silvanio. Gaudreau brothers legacy The deadly crash occurred the night before both brothers were set to attend their sister's wedding as groomsmen, per details on TheKnot.com confirmed by NBC10. Johnny Gaudreau -- nicknamed "Johnny Hockey" -- was born in Salem, New Jersey, and grew up in Carneys Point Township, New Jersey. He played high school hockey at Gloucester Catholic High School in Gloucester City, New Jersey, and then college hockey with the the Boston College Eagles from 2011 to 2014. Gaudreau helped the Eagles to the 2012 NCAA national championship as a freshman, scoring 44 points in 44 games that season. He was named the 2014 winner of the Hobey Baker Award as the best player in the NCAA and was selected by the Calgary Flames in the 2011 NHL Draft. Gaudreau entered the NHL in 2014 and played for the Flames for nine seasons. He was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team in 2015 and was a seven-time NHL All-Star. He represented Team USA at five IIHF World Championships and was a gold medal winner with the U.S. team at the 2013 World Junior Hockey Championship. Gaudreau signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2022 and was set to enter his third season with the club this fall. Both Gaudreau brothers were "deeply rooted in the Philadelphia and New Jersey community, where they spent their entire childhood on the ice," the Philadelphia Flyers said in a statement. The brot h ers grew up playing hockey in the Philly area, at Gloucester Catholic as well as with Team Comcast and the Philadelphia Little Flyers. Matt Gaudreau also played four seasons at Boston College before embarking on a pro career that saw stops with four clubs in the ECHL and American Hockey League. He returned to the local area to coach at his alma mater, Gloucester Catholic, as well as with youth and junior teams at Hollydell Ice Arena in Sewell, New Jersey, where their father was the hockey director. Johnny Gaudreau was also inducted into Gloucester Catholic's Hall of Fame and, along with his brother, frequently gave back to the school by raising money and contributing to the hockey program.By ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump promised on Tuesday to “vigorously pursue” capital punishment after President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of most people on federal death row partly to stop Trump from pushing forward their executions.

Biden said converting their punishments to life imprisonment was consistent with the moratorium imposed on federal executions in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder. “Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country,” he wrote on his social media site. “When you hear the acts of each, you won’t believe that he did this. Makes no sense. Relatives and friends are further devastated. They can’t believe this is happening!” Presidents historically have no involvement in dictating or recommending the punishments that federal prosecutors seek for defendants in criminal cases, though Trump has long sought more direct control over the Justice Department’s operations. The president-elect wrote that he would direct the department to pursue the death penalty “as soon as I am inaugurated,” but was vague on what specific actions he may take and said they would be in cases of “violent rapists, murderers, and monsters.” He highlighted the cases of two men who were on federal death row for slaying a woman and a girl, had admitted to killing more and had their sentences commuted by Biden. On the campaign trail, Trump often called for expanding the federal death penalty — including for those who kill police officers, those convicted of drug and human trafficking, and migrants who kill U.S. citizens. “Trump has been fairly consistent in wanting to sort of say that he thinks the death penalty is an important tool and he wants to use it,” said Douglas Berman, an expert on sentencing at Ohio State University’s law school. “But whether practically any of that can happen, either under existing law or other laws, is a heavy lift.” Berman said Trump’s statement at this point seems to be just a response to Biden’s commutation. “I’m inclined to think it’s still in sort of more the rhetoric phase. Just, ‘don’t worry. The new sheriff is coming. I like the death penalty,’” he said. Most Americans have historically supported the death penalty for people convicted of murder, according to decades of annual polling by Gallup, but support has declined over the past few decades. About half of Americans were in favor in an October poll, while roughly 7 in 10 Americans backed capital punishment for murderers in 2007. Before Biden’s commutation, there were 40 federal death row inmates compared with more than 2,000 who have been sentenced to death by states. “The reality is all of these crimes are typically handled by the states,” Berman said. A question is whether the Trump administration would try to take over some state murder cases, such as those related to drug trafficking or smuggling. He could also attempt to take cases from states that have abolished the death penalty. Berman said Trump’s statement, along with some recent actions by states, may present an effort to get the Supreme Court to reconsider a precedent that considers the death penalty disproportionate punishment for rape. “That would literally take decades to unfold. It’s not something that is going to happen overnight,” Berman said. Before one of Trump’s rallies on Aug. 20, his prepared remarks released to the media said he would announce he would ask for the death penalty for child rapists and child traffickers. But Trump never delivered the line. One of the men Trump highlighted on Tuesday was ex-Marine Jorge Avila Torrez, who was sentenced to death for killing a sailor in Virginia and later pleaded guilty to the fatal stabbing of an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old girl in a suburban Chicago park several years before. The other man, Thomas Steven Sanders, was sentenced to death for the kidnapping and slaying of a 12-year-old girl in Louisiana, days after shooting the girl’s mother in a wildlife park in Arizona. Court records show he admitted to both killings. Some families of victims expressed anger with Biden’s decision, but the president had faced pressure from advocacy groups urging him to make it more difficult for Trump to increase the use of capital punishment for federal inmates. The ACLU and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops were some of the groups that applauded the decision. Biden left three federal inmates to face execution. They are Dylann Roof, who carried out the 2015 racist slayings of nine Black members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina; 2013 Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ; and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018 , the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S history.
