Hope is fragile as Assad fallsHARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic of Pennsylvania conceded his reelection bid to Republican on Thursday, as a statewide recount showed no signs of closing the gap and his campaign suffered repeated blows in court in its effort to get potentially favorable ballots counted. Casey’s concession comes more than two weeks after Election Day, as a grindingly slow ballot-counting process became a spectacle of hours-long election board meetings, social media outrage, lawsuits and accusations that some county officials were openly flouting the law. Republicans had been claiming that Democrats were trying to steal McCormick’s seat by counting “illegal votes.” Casey’s campaign had accused of Republicans of trying to block enough votes to prevent him from pulling ahead and winning. In a statement, Casey said he had just called McCormick to congratulate him. “As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard, whether their vote was the first to be counted or the last," Casey said. The Associated Press the race on Nov. 7, concluding that not enough ballots remained to be counted in areas Casey was winning for him to take the lead. As of Thursday, McCormick led by about 16,000 votes out of almost 7 million ballots counted. That was well within the 0.5% margin threshold to trigger an automatic statewide recount under Pennsylvania law. But no election official expected a recount to change more than a couple hundred votes or so, and Pennsylvania's highest court dealt him a blow when it refused entreaties to allow counties to count mail-in ballots that lacked a correct handwritten date on the return envelope. Republicans will have a 53-47 majority next year in the U.S. Senate. Follow Marc Levy at

Stock market today: Wall Street’s rally stalls as Nasdaq pulls back from its record
Winter's arrival is heralded by the familiar sight of condensation on windows, a common issue in UK homes. It occurs when warm, moist air meets a cold surface, causing water vapour to turn into liquid droplets. This problem is particularly prevalent during the colder months and is the leading cause of dampness in properties. A TikTok user, with the handle Benella Home Organisation and nearly 9,000 followers, claims to have discovered the "best solution" for combating this problem and preventing mould. She explains: "Do you struggle with this? If so, I've got the solution for you. Condensation happens at the back of my house because it's the windows that are not in the sun in the morning. "And now the weather has turned, I get condensation every morning, so it's horrible. It's going to make my windows all mouldy, so I have this. This is my second winter with it and it's amazing, it's a window vacuum." Demonstrating its use, she further adds: "You just go down like so and along. You keep going and then I just wipe the bottom of the soil where it can sometimes still drip. "It's awesome, it literally takes five minutes to do three big windows and saves it going mouldy." The post quickly became a hot topic online, racking up 21,400 likes and hundreds of comments. The crowd had diverse opinions, as one user suggested: "Or buy a dehumidifier." Meanwhile, another person aimed for simplicity: "Open your windows and save money." Some followers were eager to embrace the tip: "Thank you!" For those grappling with damp air at home, Amazon stocks tools to fight condensation, now potentially cheaper with Black Friday deals in play – this gadget is roughly £30.

NEW YORK , Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Report on how AI is driving market transformation - The global vitamin D testing market size is estimated to grow by USD 182.6 million from 2024 to 2028, according to Technavio. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 4.96% during the forecast period. The report provides a comprehensive forecast of key segments below- Segmentation Overview 1.1 25-hydroxyvitamin D testing 1.2 1 25-dihydroxyvitamin D testing 2.1 Diagnostic laboratories 2.2 Hospitals and physician clinics 2.3 Home care settings 3.1 North America 3.2 Europe 3.3 Asia 3.4 Rest of World (ROW) Get a glance at the market contribution of rest of the segments - Download a FREE Sample Report in minutes! 1.1 Fastest growing segment: The 25-hydroxyvitamin D segment dominated the global vitamin D testing market in 2022, accounting for the largest share. This is due to the importance of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in indicating vitamin D levels in the body. Vitamin D is essential for various bodily functions, including modulation of cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function, and reduction of inflammation. The two forms of vitamin D, D2 and D3, are converted into 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the liver before being further metabolized into the active form, 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D, in the kidney. A deficiency of 25-hydroxyvitamin D is defined as less than 12ng/mL by the Institute of Medicine. A simple blood test can determine the levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which is crucial for diagnosing conditions like osteoporosis and rickets, and monitoring individuals at risk of deficiency, such as the elderly, obese, and those with limited sunlight exposure. The market is driven by the rising prevalence of these conditions, particularly among children. Vendors like DiaSorin offer advanced solutions, such as the LIAISON 25 OH Vitamin D TOTAL Assay, for reliable and quick determination of vitamin D status. Analyst Review Vitamin D is a crucial nutrient for maintaining strong bones and teeth by regulating the absorption of Calcium and Phosphate from the diet. Deficiency in Vitamin D can lead to bone disorders such as Osteoporosis and Rickets. Abnormal levels of Vitamin D can be detected through various laboratory tests, including Radioimmunoassay and HPLC. Hospitals and Diagnostic Laboratories are significant contributors to Vitamin D testing, while home care settings are also gaining popularity. Reimbursement policies vary, and sedentary lifestyles and limited sunlight exposure increase the risk of Vitamin D deficiency. Nutrition issues, medical conditions, and organ damage can also cause abnormal levels of Vitamin D in the blood. Phosphorus and other minerals, such as Magnesium and Tissues, also play essential roles in bone health and may be affected by Vitamin D deficiency. Awareness campaigns are crucial to promote Vitamin D testing and prevent the health complications associated with deficiency. Market Overview Vitamin D, a vital nutrient for strong bones and teeth, plays a crucial role in calcium absorption and immune system regulation. Deficiencies in Vitamin D can lead to bone disorders such as osteoporosis and rickets, as well as nutrient deficiencies, organ damage, and medical conditions like osteomalacia, weakness, fatigue, muscle aches, and muscle twitching. Abnormal levels of Vitamin D can be detected through various tests, including Radioimmunoassay and HPLC, in hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, home care settings, and standalone clinical laboratories. Factors contributing to Vitamin D deficiency include sedentary lifestyles, lack of sunlight exposure, and nutrition issues. Reimbursement policies and awareness campaigns are essential for early diagnosis and treatment. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble steroid prohormone with a long half-life, found in plasma serum and tissues. Vitamin D testing is crucial for populations at risk, including infants, children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with bone changes, fractures, or developmental delay. Health organizations and healthcare authorities are promoting preventive healthcare through diagnostic tests and new market initiatives, expanding the global presence and production capacities of Vitamin D testing.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Front Row Motorsports, one of two teams suing NASCAR in federal court, accused the stock car series Thursday of rejecting the planned purchase of a valuable charter unless the lawsuit was dropped. Front Row made the claim in a court filing and said it involved its proposed purchase of the charter from Stewart-Haas Racing. Front Row said the series would only approve it if Front Row and 23XI Racing dropped their court case. "Specifically, NASCAR informed us that it would not approve the (charter) transfer unless we agreed to drop our current antitrust lawsuit against them," Jerry Freeze, general manager of Front Row, said in an affidavit filed in the U.S. District Court of Western North Carolina. The two teams in September refused to sign NASCAR's "take-it-or-leave-it" final offer on a new revenue sharing agreement. All other 13 teams signed the deal. Front Row and 23XI balked and are now in court. 23XI co-owner Michael Jordan has said he took the fight to court on behalf of all teams competing in the top motorsports series in the United States. NASCAR has argued that the two teams simply do not like the terms of the final charter agreement and asked for the lawsuit be dismissed. Earlier this week, the suit was transferred to a different judge than the one who heard the first round of arguments and ruled against the two teams in their request for a temporary injunction to be recognized in 2025 as chartered teams as the case proceeds. The latest filing is heavily redacted as it lays out alleged retaliatory actions by NASCAR the teams say have caused irreparable harm. Both Front Row and 23XI want to expand from two full-time cars to three, and have agreements with SHR to purchase one charter each as SHR goes from four cars to one for 2025. The teams can still compete next season but would have to do so as "open" teams that don't have the same protections or financial gains that come from holding a charter. Freeze claimed in the affidavit that Front Row signed a purchase agreement with SHR in April and NASCAR President Steve Phelps told Freeze in September the deal had been approved. But when Front Row submitted the paperwork last month, NASCAR began asking for additional information. A Dec. 4 request from NASCAR was "primarily related to our ongoing lawsuit with NASCAR," Freeze said. "NASCAR informed us on December 5, 2024, that it objected to the transfer and would not approve it, in contrast to the previous oral approval for the transfer confirmed by Phelps before we filed the lawsuit," Freeze said. "NASCAR made it clear that the reason it was now changing course and objecting to the transfer is because NASCAR is insisting that we drop the lawsuit and antitrust claims against it as a condition of being approved." A second affidavit from Steve Lauletta, the president of 23XI Racing, claims NASCAR accused 23XI and Front Row of manufacturing "new circumstances" in a renewed motion for an injunction and of a "coordinated effort behind the scenes." "This is completely false," Lauletta said. Front Row is owned by businessman Bob Jenkins, while 23XI is owned by retired NBA Hall of Famer Jordan, three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin and longtime Jordan adviser Curtis Polk. NASCAR had been operating with 36 chartered teams and four open spots since the charter agreement began in 2016. NASCAR now says it will move forward in 2025 with 32 chartered teams and eight open spots, with offers on charters for Front Row and 23XI rescinded and the SHR charters in limbo. The teams contend they must be chartered under some of their contractual agreements with current sponsors and drivers, and competing next year as open teams will cause significant losses. "23XI exists to compete at the highest level of stock car racing, striving to become the best team it can be. But that ambition can only be pursued within NASCAR, which has monopolized the market as the sole top-tier circuit for stock car racing," Lauletta said. "Our efforts to expand – purchasing more cars and increasing our presence on the track – are integral to achieving this goal. "It is not hypocritical to operate within the only system available while striving for excellence and contending for championships," he continued. "It is a necessity because NASCAR's monopoly leaves 23XI no alternative circuit, no different terms, and no other viable avenue to compete at this level." Get local news delivered to your inbox!
Underperforming Pacers welcome struggling Wizards
LAS VEGAS — There are three races remaining in the Formula 1 season and Max Verstappen of Red Bull is close to a fourth consecutive world championship, which can wrap up Saturday night at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. All is not smooth sailing headed into this final month of racing: "It was a bit of a surprise, I think, for everybody," said Mercedes driver George Russell, a GPDA director. "It's a hell of a lot of pressure now onto the new race director (with) just three races left. Often, as drivers, we probably feel like we're the last to find out this sort of information." The Andretti team is expected to receive F1 approval to join the grid, albeit without Michael Andretti, who has scaled back his role dramatically since the IndyCar season ended in September. Many drivers, particularly seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton, have been at odds with FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem since his election following the 2021 season finale. In the GDPA statement, they reminded the sanctioning body "our members are adults" who don't need lectures and fines on foul language or jewelry bans, and simply want fair and consistent race control. There's been no response from Ben Sulayem, and won't be this weekend since he does not attend the LVGP. He will be at Qatar and the finale in Abu Dhabi next month. Hamilton doesn't think all the behind-the-scenes changes will be a fan topic as the season comes to a close. But he noted that consistency from race control is all the drivers have asked for, while throwing his support behind Domenicali and the job Maffei has done in growing F1 since Liberty took over. "I really hope Stefano is not leaving because he's been so instrumental in changes and progress to this whole thing," Hamilton said. "And he knows the sport as well as anyone. But all good things do come to an end, and whoever they put into place, I just hope they are like-minded. But sometimes you have to shake the trees." That's just what happened with the surprise departure of race director Wittich. Although drivers have been unhappy with race officiating this season and held a private GPDA meeting in Mexico City, Russell said they had no prior warning Wittich was out. The race director is the referee each weekend and Wittich has been in charge since 2022, when Michael Masi was fired following the controversial 2021 season-ending, championship-altering finale at Abu Dhabi. Now the man in charge for the final three races is Rui Marques, the Formula 2 and Formula 3 race director. Las Vegas, which overcame multiple stumbling blocks in last year's debut before putting on one of the best races of the season, is a difficult place to start. Verstappen can win his fourth title by simply scoring three points more than Lando Norris of McLaren. "It's a bit weird with three races to go to do that," Verstappen said. "It doesn't matter if you're positive or negative about certain things. I thought in Brazil there was definitely room for improvement, for example. It's still a bit weird having to now then deal with a different race director." Charles Leclerc of Ferrari wondered why the move was made with only three races to go. "To do it so late in the season, at such a crucial moment of the season, it could have probably been managed in a better way," he said. The drivers have consistently asked for clearer guidelines in the officiating of races, specifically regarding track limits and racing rules. The drivers have no idea how Marques will officiate, highlighting a disconnect between the competitors and Ben Sulaymen's FIA. "We just want to be transparent with the FIA and have this dialogue that is happening," Russell said. "And I think the departure of Niels is also a prime example of not being a part of these conversations." The GDPA statement made clear the drivers do not think their voice is being heard. "If we feel we're being listened to, and some of the changes that we are requesting are implemented, because ultimately we're only doing it for the benefit of the sport, then maybe our confidence will increase," Russell said. "But I think there's a number of drivers who feel a bit fed up with the whole situation. It only seems to be going in the wrong direction." He also said the relationship between the drivers and the FIA seems fractured. "Sometimes just hiring and firing is not the solution," he said. "You need to work together to improve the problem." Norris, who has battled Verstappen this year with mixed officiating rulings, said "obviously things are not running as smoothly as what we would want." Marques has his first driver meeting ahead of Thursday night's two practice sessions and then three weeks to prove to the competitors he is up for the job. Carlos Sainz Jr., who will leave Ferrari for Williams at the end of the season, hopes the drama doesn't distract from the momentum F1 has built over the last five years. "I think Formula 1 is in a great moment right now and all these rumors, I think in every team, every job, there's job changes," he said. "It's not big drama. I'm a big fan of the people you mentioned, they've done an incredible job in Formula 1 and Formula 1 is what it is thanks to these people. But it's just so emotional, especially the Stefano one. The only one that has a real effect is the race director. But I think if he does a good job, it should be transparent and nothing big." Get local news delivered to your inbox!
