An Ottawa ringette team says it has lost support from its club after it deemed the team's new name to be inappropriate. The team, officially known as the West Ottawa Ringette Association U19B MacDonald, has unofficially been renamed "the Boobies." Team members say the name is meant to be a fun way to represent them and to bring awareness to breast cancer research. "It made sense to have the team's name because we're all just bubbly, fun and don't really take it too seriously and it kind of helps us play better in a way," said team member Tessa Nadarevic. The team is named after the Red-Footed Booby, a large seabird known in part for its clumsiness - a play on word for the team who currently sits last in the standings. "We're on a solid every game losing streak, but it's okay because we go for the fun of it," said Nadarevic. The team says choosing a team name is something that happens every year with little controversy. This year, it says the West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) has taken issue with it. "The reason I was provided was that the word 'booby' could be construed as demeaning, which is unfortunate," said parent Paula MacDonald. "It's not meant to be demeaning and there was no intention to be demeaning. The players are just having fun." MacDonald says the team can't use WORA's logo on any of its merchandise and it will no longer support the team's fundraising goals, including raising money for breast cancer research. "The support for the team was looking at advertising or awareness on the association's web page, helping the community to know that this fundraising initiative is happening, so that won't happen," said MacDonald. "We are also looking to sell merchandise with the logo on it and take the proceeds and donate that to breast cancer awareness, so we'll have to do that on our own." In a statement, the West Ottawa Ringette Association says the new name could be perceived as innapropriate to some and says it wants to maintain a safe and inclusive space for all athletes. "We appreciate the team's desire to give back to a good cause. Their commitment to making a positive impact is commendable and aligns with our organization's values of community and support," the association said. "However, given our focus on nurturing and supporting the development of minor children, we need to be mindful of the impact various elements, including team names and logos, have on our athletes. We believe it is crucial to avoid any names that could be perceived as sexualizing children or drawing unwanted attention to their bodies. Our goal is to maintain a respectful and inclusive space where all athletes feel comfortable and valued." For many of the players, it's their last season together and say they will press on. "My mom had breast cancer a couple of years ago, so it's a way to give back to the community that we spent so much time with and to help people like my mom," said Nadarevic.

Stay Connected8 of the Best Apps to Learn New LanguagesDALLAS (AP) — The championship vision that led Nathan Eovaldi to sign with Texas as a free agent two years ago is the same one that brought him back to the Rangers. A World Series title in his first season was followed by a losing record this year. “I believe in the guys in the group that we have. We were able to do it in ‘23. I don’t feel a lot has changed,” Eovaldi said Friday, a day after finalizing a $75 million, three-year contract . “We had a down year last year, but I've said it before, you learn a lot from losing seasons.” Eovaldi had declined a $20 million player option to become a free agent again and reached an agreement during the winter meetings in Dallas. Texas also acquired slugging corner infielder Jake Burger in a swap with Miami. Burger had fallen asleep before getting a call late Tuesday night that he had been traded to Texas, where his family is planning to move after the October birth of a daughter with Down syndrome. “The other city that is really good other than Nashville in terms of children's hospital and resources for her Downs is in Dallas," Burger said. “Not just from the baseball spectrum, from the life aspect as well ... I feel like it was meant to be, and we couldn’t be more more excited about that.” In the Nashville area, Burger lives close to Rangers manager Bruce Bochy, whom he plans to visit with soon. His former Marlins manager, Skip Schumaker , was hired last month by the Rangers as a senior adviser for baseball operations, and Luis Urueta, Miami’s bench coach the past two seasons, recently joined Bochy’s on-field coaching staff for 2025. Burger and Rangers pitcher Dane Dunning were once roommates in the Chicago White Sox organization. Burger hit .250 with 29 home runs and 76 RBIs in 137 games for the Marlins last season, when he started 59 games at third base and 50 starts at first. He was with the White Sox in Texas when he got traded to Miami on Aug. 1, 2023, and four days later hit his first homer with the Marlins at Globe Life Field. When the Rangers made the title run in 2023, Eovaldi was 5-0 with a 2.95 ERA in six postseason starts. He was the winning pitcher in their World Series-clinching Game 5 at Arizona. He was also part of Boston’s 2018 title. Eovaldi was 12-8 this year with a 3.80 ERA in 29 starts, the last seven scoreless innings in the regular-season finale. He is 24-13 with a 3.72 ERA in 54 starts for Texas the past two seasons. The new deal for the Texas native, who who turns 35 in February, includes a $12 million signing bonus, half payable on Nov. 15, 2026, and the rest on Jan. 15, 2028, and salaries of $18 million next season, $25 million in 2026 and $20 million in 2027. He gets a full no-trade provision. After being welcomed back by Chris Young, the team's president of baseball operations, the pitcher said he never felt like he really left. The Rangers stayed in contact throughout the process after he declined his option Nov. 4. “Kind of listening to the market and everything, I’m extremely happy to be back. I’m glad we were we were able to make it all work out,” Eovaldi said. “We had a lot of teams reach out right away and we were in contact with most them across the league. Ultimately we were able to make it back here.” AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb
The decision to register Dembélé in January comes down to a calculated risk for Barcelona. By registering him, the club would secure his services for the remainder of the season and maintain the possibility of negotiating a transfer fee for him in the future. However, this would also mean committing to a player whose long-term future at the club is uncertain, risking another injury setback or a decline in form.SMU feeling good heading into ACC opener against VirginiaATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Senate Republicans recommended on Friday that the state write laws banning transgender girls and women from participating in high school and college sports, setting the stage for action in the 2025 legislative session. The vote by a committee that was studying the issue is hardly a surprise. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones — a possible Republican contender for governor in 2026 — announced almost identical goals at the panel's first meeting in August . It’s an issue that’s already been addressed in Georgia. Legislators in 2022 empowered the Georgia High School Association to regulate transgender students' participation in sports. The association, which regulates sports and activities for all public schools and some private schools, then banned transgender boys and girls from playing on the school sports teams matching their gender identity. Jones and others argue that doesn't go far enough and that lawmakers themselves need to act. It's a sign Republicans believe there is more political gain in fears about transgender women playing women’s sports or using women’s bathrooms. At least 26 mostly Republican states have passed laws or rules to restrict transgender girls from participating high school sports and, in some cases, transgender women from college sports , according to the Movement Advancement Project, a gay rights group. In Georgia, additional action appears more likely now after House Speaker Jon Burns and Gov. Brian Kemp, both Republicans, have voiced support for further legislation. Jeff Graham, executive director of the LGBTQ+ advocacy group Georgia Equality, said his group is playing defense, concerned about the possibility of other bills that could further restrict gender-affirming care or ban transgender people from using public bathrooms that match their gender identity. “We’re expecting that it’ll be at least what we saw in 2023 and 2024, with the number of bills and more than likely laws,” Graham told reporters Friday. But Burns, from Newington, has said he's not interested in other bills dealing with transgender people besides those dealing with girls' and women's sports. Republican State Sen. Greg Dolezal, of Cumming, who led the Senate study committee, said Friday that he, too, is not interested in a broader bill regulating bathroom usage, although his committee recommended that schools that host sporting events require athletes to use locker rooms based on their assigned sex at birth. Dolezal said senators would seek to write legislation that regulated public schools and colleges, as well as private institutions that compete against public schools and colleges. The committee also recommends that people be able to sue or file grievances if schools break the rules, and that state money be withheld from schools that break the rules. Supporters of more action have focused on the 2022 NCAA women’s swimming championships at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, where Lia Thomas, a transgender woman, swam for the University of Pennsylvania and won the 500-meter freestyle . The NCAA has since revised its policy on transgender women’s participation, saying it will follow the rules of respective athletics federations. World Aquatics, the swimming governing body, banned transgender women who have been through male puberty from competing in women’s races. That means Thomas wouldn’t be allowed to swim in NCAA events today. “My basic contention that this is a solution in search of a problem remains,” Graham said. He said he fears that many people who oppose laws that seek to restrict transgender people will be afraid to testify and lobby at the Georgia Capitol, citing assault charges against a man accused of shaking U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace in a Capitol office building in Washington, D.C. Dolezal repeatedly tried to turn down the emotional temperature of the issue on Friday. “I think that there’s a group of people that wants to be respected and I think that they deserve respect,” Dolezal told reporters. “But I also think that you can be respectful, but also recognize that in the sporting arena, fairness and competition is important.”

One of the main sources of the continued instability in Damascus is the presence of multiple armed factions and militias operating in the area. These groups, each with their own agendas and allegiances, often clash over control of territory, resources, and influence. The lack of a unified governing authority in the city has allowed these factions to operate with impunity, further exacerbating the security challenges faced by the residents of Damascus.4.

The decision to waive the land value added tax on ordinary residential properties could have a significant impact on the overall housing market in Henan Province. By reducing the tax burden on developers, it may incentivize them to increase housing supply, ultimately addressing the growing demand for affordable housing in the region. Additionally, prospective buyers may find it easier to enter the property market, leading to increased homeownership rates and a more stable housing market environment.
