LOS ANGELES (AP) — Receiver Demarcus Robinson will not be suspended by the Los Angeles Rams this week after his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence. Robinson will be available to play when the Rams (5-6) visit the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday. “I think he does understand the severity of this, and how lucky we were that nobody was injured,” McVay said. “I do believe that he's remorseful. We are going to let the legal process take place. The league has a process as well.” Robinson was arrested early Monday morning after California Highway Patrol officers observed a white Dodge sedan driving over 100 mph on the 101 freeway in the western San Fernando Valley, a few miles from the Rams’ training complex in Woodland Hills. The driver, who identified himself as Robinson, had “objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment,” the CHP said in a statement released to The Associated Press. Robinson spoke to the team and expressed remorse about his arrest, McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “I think it was a bad decision he made,” McVay said. “I don't think that makes him a bad person, and I do believe this is something that, with the words that he said, our guys will learn from it, and hopefully nobody is ever going to repeat something like this. Let it be a learning opportunity, and a fortunate outcome that nobody was injured.” Robinson has 26 receptions for 384 yards and a team-leading six touchdown catches while starting all 11 games in his second season with the Rams . He caught a TD pass in the Rams' 37-20 loss to Philadelphia several hours before his arrest. The nine-year NFL veteran has served as a capable No. 3 option for Stafford behind star receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Robinson spent his first six NFL seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning a Super Bowl ring in February 2020, and spent one year with Baltimore before joining the Rams last year. “Let this be a lesson to all of us,” Stafford said. “We're lucky with the result that came of it, to be honest with you, that nobody was hurt or injured. I know that D-Rob is a great person. I love being around him. Love him as a teammate. ... I'm just trying to support him, help him out any way I can.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFLElon Musk’s preschool is the next step in his anti-woke education dreams

The Associated PressJimmy Carter, the former U.S. president known for his humanitarian efforts and peace brokering, has died at the age of 100. Carter, a Democrat, witnessed both triumphs and challenges during his presidency from 1977 to 1981, including the historic 1978 Camp David accords and the Iran hostage crisis. After leaving the White House, Carter devoted his life to humanitarian causes, earning a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his relentless efforts to find peaceful solutions to global conflicts and advocate for democracy and human rights. He was widely acknowledged as a profound figure in international human rights and diplomacy. World leaders and former presidents have paid tribute to Carter, highlighting his compassionate nature and contributions to peace. Public observances and a private interment are being planned in his honor, as the world reflects on the enduring legacy of a man committed to both peace and justice. (With inputs from agencies.)
USC dominates Southern to extend winning streak
After a sterling regular season, Battle Mountain’s 2024 volleyball campaign came to a close at the 4A state tournament last weekend in Denver. The Huskies — who walked into Denver Coliseum as the No. 4 seed, boasting a 23-1 mark — lost to No. 12 Mead 25-19, 25-20, 25-20 in the first round and then fell to No. 11 Palmer Ridge 25-18, 26-24, 25-16 in the elimination bracket on day 2. No. 1 Thompson Valley swept No. 8 Lutheran to capture the state title. “In retrospect, having the opportunity to play on the state floor at the Coliseum and knowing you are amongst an elite group of teams to have earned that right feels great,” head coach Scott Graves stated in an email after the tournament. “From a coach’s perspective, you’ll always wonder how you could have changed the outcome by changing something along the way. Bottom line: I’m proud of this team! Proud of what they accomplished and proud of the tough journey they endured and years of training to get them there.” The Huskies won the first 20 games of the season before falling to Palisade in a best-of-three tournament match on Nov. 2. Throughout the win streak , they developed a reputation for clutch composure and dramatic five-set victories — especially against key Western Slope rivals. Two days after defeating Glenwood Springs 3-2 on Oct. 1, the Huskies rallied for a reverse sweep against Eagle Valley, taking the last set 19-17. After winning the region tournament on Nov. 12, Battle Mountain’s veterans looked back on the single blemish as a necessary wake up call. “Honestly I think we needed that,” Tyler Heimerl said after the 3-1 win over Standley Lake, which clinched the team’s first state berth in 10 years. “We needed to see top-level teams. Going into regionals, nothing was promised.” “That showed us that we can’t just be given something,” added Gracie Halminksi, who was selected to play in the all-state game this Sunday. While Graves saw his team exhibit some nerves in the first state match, he said in general, they handled the environment and experience well. “While we didn’t win, we put up a good fight in both matches but just couldn’t seem to get firing on all cylinders at once,” he added. The Huskies led 24-23 in the second set against Palmer Ridge — the defending state champions — but couldn’t close the deal. “I think we win that set, we win the match in four,” Graves continued. “Though we lost in three sets, it still felt good hanging with the former state champions.” The Huskies graduate five seniors from the roster in Heimerl, Halminski, Kylah Romer, Izzy Zastrow and Presley Walters. Graves, who has known most of them for many years, said they brought a “mix of talent and leadership” to the program. “It has been a pleasure to work with them and watch their skills grow,” he added. “I have no doubt that all five of them will go on to do great things.” Battle Mountain also brings back a talented core with significant varsity experience. Libero Evie Steinberg and outside hitter Lela Goehring are just sophomores and setter Keena Shikverg and all-around playmaker Cynthia Orona are juniors. “I’m very excited about the future of the Battle Mountain volleyball program,” Graves said. “There is a bunch of talent throughout the levels. The younger athletes got to see what hard work and determination can mean and that is always a good lesson for the next group coming in. The future is bright.”Trump to be named Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ for second time
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s candid interaction with BJP lawmakers in Odisha has taken social media by storm, with a leaked photograph showcasing him in an almost “headmaster-like” demeanor. The image, which surfaced online, shows the PM walking down the aisle of an auditorium, engaging directly with party MLAs, MPs, and senior members during a closed-door session in Bhubaneswar on Friday evening. The viral photograph, now a hot topic of discussion, captures Modi speaking with lawmakers seated even in the back rows, underlining his inclusive approach. The interaction wasn’t just a pep talk but a session brimming with life lessons and advice on navigating the pressures of politics and governance. According to BJP MP Pradeep Purohit, when asked how he manages to balance the relentless demands of governance and party work while remaining stress-free, the Prime Minister’s response was simple yet profound. “I never work for personal gain or for my family. My focus has always been on serving the nation and society. I don’t dwell on the past or worry about the future—I focus on the present. That’s my mantra for staying stress-free,” Modi reportedly said, adding that he feels guided by divine blessings in his journey. In a lighter vein, the Prime Minister compared the newly elected MLAs and MPs to “new daughters-in-law,” emphasising the heightened scrutiny they face from their constituencies. “Just like a family watches every move of a new daughter-in-law, people observe new lawmakers with a keen eye. You must remain vigilant, live a simple life, and dedicate yourselves to the betterment of the state and the nation,” he advised. Urging his party members to dream big for Odisha, Modi set an ambitious goal for the state to become the nation’s best by 2036. The meeting was described as both motivational and strategic, leaving attendees inspired by Modi’s blend of practicality and vision. As the photograph continues to trend online, it has sparked admiration and intrigue, with many lauding the PM’s relatable yet impactful leadership style.

It didn't take long for Sue Cranston to fall in love with wolf dogs. She started volunteering with the half-dog, half-wolf hybrids at an animal sanctuary in Colorado after moving there in the 1990s. "They stuck a little puppy in her lap and a bottle and said 'Here, feed it,' " said her longtime partner Carol Scarborough. "And that was the end of that." Just a few years later, the couple started the Indigo Mountain Nature Center and in 2000, bought a sprawling 36-acre property in Lake George, Colo., which, over the years, was home to animals including captive-born black bears and, of course, wolf dogs. Cranston died of cancer earlier this year. Scarborough and Cranston spent 39 years together. Indigo Mountain was Cranston's "passion," built with "blood, sweat and tears," Scarborough said. A New Mexico wolf sanctuary is hoping to carry on that legacy. Cranston's name is a familiar one in rescue community. The first wolf sanctuary that Brittany McDonald worked at in Texas was started with a Cranston rescue. In 2022, a few years after McDonald started working at Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary about an hour west of Grants, their paths crossed again, when Cranston asked if the sanctuary would like to take in a wolf dog puppy. They never met in person. But Cranston’s influence crossed state lines. “I started hearing the name Sue Cranston all the way back in 2017,” McDonald, now executive director of Wild Spirit, said. “She has always been one of the most highly regarded people in the wolf and wolf dog rescue community.” Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary wants to buy the Colorado property and has raised about $200,000 to purchase the land. Its goal is $1.5 million, according to the fundraising page . "When I heard about Sue's passing, it was one of those moments where you kind of look back over time and you go, 'Man, I really wish I would have connected with this person more,' " McDonald said. "Now that opportunity isn't there. So it's been really wild to find myself in this position now, working with Sue's co-founder Carol on trying to take over Sue's legacy." Finding new homes for 25 wolf dogs would be a challenge, McDonald said. At its existing size, Wild Spirit would likely only be able to take one or two of the animals. But the purchase could be an opportunity for growth. The Lake George property is centrally located near Eleven Mile State Park and surrounded by state and U.S. Forest Service land. There was no power, no water and no buildings on the property when Cranston and Scarborough bought it — the couple had to build everything "from scratch." "Where we're located here in New Mexico is very rustic, very remote," McDonald said. "Even though we are open and let people come out to see the animals and learn about them, it's not as accessible as the Indigo Mountain location is ... so it's a prime location for us as a as an organization, to build that revenue that we need." Although Cranston and Scarborough ran the nonprofit center as a private sanctuary, McDonald said Wild Spirit would like to open it to the public. Wild Spirit is home to almost 75 animals, including two red foxes, four coyotes, two New Guinea singing dogs as well as wolves and wolf dogs. Some of the animals, which are used to interacting with strangers, would likely be relocated to Indigo Mountain, which can house around 50 animals in its existing pens. People often adopt wolf dogs as puppies. Some have a higher percentage of wolf DNA, while others are more doglike. For the wolfier varieties, as the intelligent and inquisitive animals grow bigger — and go through hormonally tumultuous breeding seasons — they are often abandoned by their owners. In McDonald’s experience, most wolf dogs don’t stay with their owners longer than four years after they reach breeding age, although some are surrendered at just a few months old. “It’s like clockwork every single year,” McDonald said. Social media has had a snowball effect, McDonald said, as wolf dogs become more coveted pets. Breeders can sell a wolf dog puppy for thousands of dollars and are often “unscrupulous” about who they sell them to. This year, McDonald is expecting to see 200 litters of wolf dogs that are 85% wolf or above. “Just like was the case with Indigo Mountain, if we can’t save an animal from one of our own, that leaves very little option for the majority of these animals,” McDonald said. “Because sanctuaries are always full [and] because the problem is never going away.” Humane societies and animal control often won't take wolf dogs because they can't adopt them out, Scarborough said; she and Cranston wanted to keep the animals from being euthanized. A short woman at about 5 feet 3 inches, Cranston would bring friendly wolf dog Taza to help educate students about coexisting with Colorado wildlife. "Taza would definitely stand above her waist," Scarborough said. "She would walk into a school room, and the kids were just like, 'Oh my God.' " Cranston could hold a dog biscuit in her mouth and Taza would leap up to grab it — "to the glee of all the little school kids." The nature center is a lot of work to manage alone, and Scarborough is ready for a new chapter in her life. But she wants to keep Cranston's dream alive. "I would rather move on and know they're well-cared for the rest of their lives, like we promised them," Scarborough said. "It was a promise, and so I want to keep that promise."CNN — World leaders have offered their condolences following the death of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter , who died Sunday at the age of 100. The 39th American president led consequential foreign policy initiatives that still endure today, including a Middle East peace deal between Israel and Egypt, the normalization of relations with China that the Richard Nixon administration initiated, and the signing of treaties that gave Panama eventual control of the Panama Canal from the U.S. Video above: President Biden speaks about the death of former President Jimmy Carter In 2002, Carter was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize "for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development." But Carter was widely criticized for his handling of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis , in which dozens of American citizens were held captive for 444 days by Iranian revolutionaries who had stormed the U.S. embassy Tehran, angered by the United States' support of Iran's authoritarian ruler Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. In their own words Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi: "In this moment of sorrow, I extend my sincerest condolences to the family of former American President Jimmy Carter, as well as to the president and the people of the United States of America. President Carter was a symbol of humanitarian and diplomatic efforts, his deep belief in peace and justice has inspired many individuals and institutions around the world to follow his path. His efforts in preserving the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel will remain etched in history, and his humanitarian work demonstrate a standard of love, peace, and brotherhood. His legacy ensures that he will be remembered as one of the world's most prominent leaders in service to humanity. May God have mercy on former President Jimmy Carter." Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino: "I offer my condolences to the family and to the people and government of the United States on the death of former President Jimmy Carter. His time in the White House marked complex times, which were crucial for Panama in order to negotiate and agree on the Torrijos-Carter Treaties in 1977, which achieved the transfer of the canal to Panamanian hands and the full sovereignty of our country. May his soul rest in peace." French President Emmanuel Macron: "Throughout his life, Jimmy Carter has been a steadfast advocate for the rights of the most vulnerable and has tirelessly fought for peace. France sends its heartfelt thoughts to his family and to the American people." British Prime Minister Keir Starmer: "I was very sorry to hear of President Carter's passing and I would like to pay tribute to his decades of selfless public service. His presidency will be remembered for the historic Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, and it was that lifelong dedication to peace that saw him receive the Nobel Peace prize. Motivated by his strong faith and values, President Carter redefined the post-presidency with a remarkable commitment to social justice and human rights at home and abroad. Whether supporting elections around the world and spreading healthcare solutions through the Carter Center or still building homes with Habitat for Humanity into his nineties, Jimmy Carter lived his values in the service of others to the very end. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time." Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban: "The memory of President Jimmy Carter will always be cherished in Hungary. By returning the Holy Crown to the people of Hungary at the end of the 70's, he gave freedom loving Hungarians hope in a hopeless time. I would like to express my deepest condolences to the Carter family and the American people." Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: "Jimmy Carter's legacy is one of compassion, kindness, empathy, and hard work. He served others both at home and around the world his entire life — and he loved doing it. He was always thoughtful and generous with his advice to me. My deepest condolences to the Carter family, his many loved ones, and the American people who are mourning a former president and a lifelong humanitarian. May his selfless service continue to inspire us all for years to come." Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva: "Jimmy Carter was a senator, governor of Georgia, and president of the United States. Above all, he was a lover of democracy and a defender of peace. In the late 1970s, he pressured the Brazilian dictatorship to release political prisoners. Later, as a former president, he continued to campaign for the promotion of human rights, peace, and the eradication of diseases in Africa and Latin America. Carter achieved the feat of having a job as a former president, over the decades, that was as important or even more important than his term in the White House. He criticized unilateral military actions by superpowers and the use of killer drones. He worked with Brazil to mediate conflicts in Venezuela and to help Haiti. He created The Carter Center, a world reference in democracy, human rights and dialogue. He will be remembered forever as a name that defended that peace is the most important condition for development. My condolences to his family, friends, co-religionists and compatriots at this time of farewell." Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel: "Condolences to the people and government of the United States, especially to the family and loved ones of President James Carter. Our people will remember with gratitude his efforts to improve relations, his visits to Cuba and his statement in favor of the freedom of the (Cuban) Five."Daily Post Nigeria Customs orders sale of smuggled PMS to Yola residents at cheaper prices Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport News Customs orders sale of smuggled PMS to Yola residents at cheaper prices Published on November 27, 2024 By Ogaga Ariemu The Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, has ordered the sale of smuggled Premium Motor Spirit at cheaper prices to Yola residents of Adaamawa State. Adeniyi disclosed this on Wednesday while speaking to journalists in Yola. He noted that the proceeds will be remitted to the Federation Account. This comes as the national coordinator of Operation Whirlwind, Comptroller Hussain Ejibunu, lauded Adeniyi and the national security adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, for their support. According to him, the initiative alleviates the impact of subsidy removal in the state. Ejibunu explained that the seized products, intended for illegal export, were confiscated through intelligence and surveillance operations, significantly easing fuel scarcity in the region. He said the total seizure included 1,124 jerrycans (25, 40, and 60 litres), 53 drums (200 litres each), and 21,000 litres transported in two tankers, amounting to 71,965 litres, valued at over N81.5 million. He also revealed that most of the seizures occurred along the Cameroon-Nigeria border. Ejibunu confirmed that a suspect linked to smuggling activities had been arrested and is currently facing prosecution. The operation’s broader strategy aims to “curb the activities of illegal oil bunkers and marketers.” Customs transferred 13 of the 14 intercepted tankers to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority.
