superph game

superph game In Sunday’s victory of the Eagles 22-16 over the Panthers , Saquon Barkley added 124 yards to his historic season in which he could break one of the most coveted records in the NFL: the total rushing yards record, currently held by Eric Dickerson in 1984. PUBLICIDAD That season with the Rams, Dickerson ran for a total of 2,105 yards. The player who came closest to breaking that record was Adrian Peterson, who in 2012 with the Vikings accumulated 2,097. PUBLICIDAD Currently, Barkley, who arrived this season in Philadelphia from the Giants as a free agent, has accumulated 1,623 yards with an average of 124.8 per game. If he continues this trend, he could surpass Dickerson. The good news for the Eagles' running back is that three out of the four remaining opponents have some of the worst defenses against the running game in the 2024 NFL season. The Eagles qualified for the playoffs thanks to Barkley The Philadelphia team was far from shining and almost lost at home to the Panthers, one of the worst teams in the NFL, but they still managed to rescue the victory, their ninth in a row, which allows them to secure a spot in the postseason as champions of their division or at least with a wild card. The Eagles struggled in the air, but the standout was Barkley with his 124 yards, who broke the Philadelphia team record for rushing yards in a season held by LeSean McCoy with 1,607 yards since 2013. The Jets' playoff drought has reached 14 seasons. The New York Jets' extremely poor campaign is officially over after losing in overtime 32-26 against the Dolphins in Miami. With that, they were eliminated from the playoffs for the 14th consecutive season, the longest active streak in the NFL. The Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh in Week 5 and have only won one out of eight games since then. The eyes of this failure are focused on Aaron Rodgers, the veteran quarterback who arrived to lead the Jets to the Super Bowl, but couldn't do so after a serious injury in 2023 and one of his worst seasons as a professional in 2024. San Francisco crushes Chicago and stays alive. After three consecutive losses, the 49ers arrived at Sunday's game against the Bears with the obligation to win in order to keep their playoff hopes alive, and luckily for them, the opponent virtually did not show up to play in the first half. The statistics after two quarters speak for themselves: 319 offensive yards for San Francisco, despite not having their two starting running backs, against 4 for Chicago. The problem for the "Niners" is that they are still two games behind Seattle in the NFC West Division and there are only four weeks left in the regular season. On the Bears' side, it became clear that the crisis runs deeper than just having fired coach Matt Eberflus, as highly regarded interim coach Thomas Brown was unable to revive a lifeless team that lost 38-13 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. The Simpsons played a game of the NFL Thanks to the tracking technology used by Next Gen Stats and Beyond Sports, combined with the optical tracking of Hawk-Eye Innovations, the NFL Monday night game was played in the world of "The Simpsons". Parallel to the duel between the Cowboys and Bengals in Dallas (which ended in a 27-20 victory for the Cincinnati team), some spirited players were at the Atom Stadium in the fictional town of Springfield. Additionally, Bart and Homer Simpson cheered on both teams and also participated in some plays. Bart was with the Bengals and Homer with the Cowboys. This unexpected participation was part of the surprises that the event offered to fans who chose to watch the "Simpsons" version of the game. While Bart and Homer were starring in the duel on the field, Lisa and Marge took on key roles off the field. Both interviewed standout players, contributing their own memorable moments to the match. Meanwhile, little Maggie surprised everyone by piloting the famous SkyCam. This is not the first time the NFL has done a parallel animated game: last year they did it from "Andy's Room" with the characters from "Toy Story".A 7-year-old rivalry between tech leaders Elon Musk and Sam Altman over who should run OpenAI and prevent an artificial intelligence "dictatorship" is now heading to a federal judge as Musk seeks to halt the ChatGPT maker's ongoing shift into a for-profit company. Musk, an early OpenAI investor and board member, sued the artificial intelligence company earlier this year alleging it had betrayed its founding aims as a nonprofit research lab benefiting the public good rather than pursuing profits. Musk has since escalated the dispute, adding new claims and asking for a court order that would stop OpenAI’s plans to convert itself into a for-profit business more fully. The world's richest man, whose companies include Tesla, SpaceX and social media platform X, last year started his own rival AI company, xAI. Musk says it faces unfair competition from OpenAI and its close business partner Microsoft, which has supplied the huge computing resources needed to build AI systems such as ChatGPT. “OpenAI and Microsoft together exploiting Musk’s donations so they can build a for-profit monopoly, one now specifically targeting xAI, is just too much,” says Musk's filing that alleges the companies are violating the terms of Musk’s foundational contributions to the charity. OpenAI is filing a response Friday opposing Musk’s requested order, saying it would cripple OpenAI’s business and mission to the advantage of Musk and his own AI company. A hearing is set for January before U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland. At the heart of the dispute is a 2017 internal power struggle at the fledgling startup that led to Altman becoming OpenAI's CEO. Musk also sought to be CEO and in an email outlined a plan where he would “unequivocally have initial control of the company” but said that would be temporary. He grew frustrated after two other OpenAI co-founders said he would hold too much power as a major shareholder and chief executive if the startup succeeded in its goal to achieve better-than-human AI known as artificial general intelligence , or AGI. Musk has long voiced concerns about how advanced forms of AI could threaten humanity. “The current structure provides you with a path where you end up with unilateral absolute control over the AGI," said a 2017 email to Musk from co-founders Ilya Sutskever and Greg Brockman. “You stated that you don't want to control the final AGI, but during this negotiation, you've shown to us that absolute control is extremely important to you.” In the same email, titled “Honest Thoughts,” Sutskever and Brockman also voiced concerns about Altman's desire to be CEO and whether he was motivated by “political goals.” Altman eventually succeeded in becoming CEO, and has remained so except for a period last year when he was fired and then reinstated days later after the board that ousted him was replaced. OpenAI published the messages Friday in a blog post meant to show its side of the story, particularly Musk's early support for the idea of making OpenAI a for-profit business so it could raise money for the hardware and computer power that AI needs. It was Musk, through his wealth manager Jared Birchall, who first registered “Open Artificial Technologies Technologies, Inc.”, a public benefit corporation, in September 2017. Then came the “Honest Thoughts” email that Musk described as the “final straw.” “Either go do something on your own or continue with OpenAI as a nonprofit,” Musk wrote back. OpenAI said Musk later proposed merging the startup into Tesla before resigning as the co-chair of OpenAI's board in early 2018. Musk didn't immediately respond to emailed requests for comment sent to his companies Friday. Asked about his frayed relationship with Musk at a New York Times conference last week, Altman said he felt “tremendously sad” but also characterized Musk’s legal fight as one about business competition. “He’s a competitor and we’re doing well,” Altman said. He also said at the conference that he is “not that worried” about the Tesla CEO’s influence with President-elect Donald Trump. OpenAI said Friday that Altman plans to make a $1 million personal donation to Trump’s inauguration fund, joining a number of tech companies and executives who are working to improve their relationships with the incoming administration. —————————— The Associated Press and OpenAI have a licensing and technology agreement allowing OpenAI access to part of the AP’s text archives.

US ski star Mikaela Shiffrin said Wednesday that she's "starting to feel a little bit more human" after suffering a puncture wound in a giant slalom crash but confirmed she won't race at Beaver Creek, Colorado, this month. "This is another fairly ambiguous injury and really hard to put a timeline of when I'll be either back on snow or back to racing," Shiffrin said in a video posted on social media. "But I do know that I will not be starting in Beaver Creek." Shiffrin had already said after Saturday's crash she didn't expect to be ready for the Colorado races, a downhill on December 14 and a super-G on December 15. On Wednesday, she said that whatever object caused the puncture in her abdomen also left "tore a cavern" in her oblique muscles. She said she had also undergone further testing to check for possible damage to her colon. "There were some air bubbles where the puncture came pretty close to the colon," she said. "Last night's check confirmed that my colon is, indeed, intact." Shiffrin was closing in on a once unimaginable 100th World Cup victory when she crashed in the second leg of the giant slalom at Killington, Vermont, on Saturday. She hit one gate and tumbled through another before sliding into the catch fencing and was taken from the hill on a sled. She won't miss any races this weekend because the two women's giant slaloms scheduled for Tremblant, Canada, were cancelled because of lack of snow. However, Shiffrin said she would be sorry not to resume her bid for a 100th World Cup win on the circuit's next US stop. "This is a really big bummer, not to be able to race Birds of Prey," Shiffrin said. "But on the other hand I was really lucky and I'm really looking forward to cheering my teammates on racing Beaver Creek." In 2023, Shiffrin broke Ingemar Stenmark's record of 86 World Cup wins, a mark once considered unassailable. Compatriot Lindsey Vonn has the second-most alpine World Cup wins by a woman with 82. bb/jsIn 2023, the United States Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released an advisory report on the impact of social media on the mental health of young adults. This report acknowledged potential benefits from social media, but focused on the potential harm that social media can have on children and adolescences. The report highlighted the dangers related to frequency of use and content exposure, and in 2024, Dr. Murthy wrote an essay in the New York Times arguing for warning labels on social media platforms . The advisory report indicated that more information is needed to discover the exact pathways in which social media can harm mental health and well-being. One of these potential pathways is the impact of social media on relationships, especially regarding interpersonal boundaries, conflict resolution, and general attachment styles. Understanding the impact of social media on these specific domains will promote awareness that the potential dangers of social media are more than just frequency of use or what content the user is exposed to. Social media can influence how people generally relate to others, and this is especially important for youth and emerging adults. The Impact Of Social Media On Interpersonal Boundaries In 2020, Frontiers in Psychology published a study showing a connection between high self-disclosure on social media/social networking sites and a tendency to neglect long-term risks. The study is based on a theory that risky behaviors stem from impulsive and short-term thinking, whereas reflective and long-term thinking often yields better decision making. Many social media sites utilize real-time posts, which focuses on immediate and short-term thinking. Thus, according to the theory, it’s expected that many individuals will make poor decisions while on social media sites. The 2020 study focused on the decisions to make risky self-disclosures online, but other examples include making explicit comments, sharing inappropriate pictures, or revealing overly sensitive information. In 2017, Education Week published a story listing ten social media controversies regarding student use of social media. By focusing on immediate and short-term thinking, the use of social media often clouds the importance of interpersonal boundaries. Most social media sites emphasis individual profiles, which can potentially result in some users becoming myopic and disconnected with the broad implications of their posts. The Impact Of Social Media On Conflict Resolution Skills A hallmark of social media is the ability to have anonymity. Even without total anonymity, most social media users can limit how much identifying information is released to the public. In addition, many social media users are never held accountability of their actions while online. The combination of anonymity with a general lack of accountability can result in many social media users acting aggressively toward others. This aggressiveness can take the form of cyberbullying, and in 2024, the American Association of Colleges and Universities reported that 22 percent of college students reported being a victim of online bullying. However, this aggressiveness likely occurs more often in the form of a reduced motivation to engage in effective conflict resolution with social media contacts. It’s easier to criticize or block a social media contract than it is to foster empathy and active listening. Furthermore, some social media content might promote misinformation, and as stated above, could promote immediate and social term thinking. Both of these factors might hinder the willingness to engage in effective conflict resolution while online. The Impact Of Social Media On Attachment Styles As described in a seminal 1991 study in the Journal of Personality of Social Psychology , Bartholomew and Horowitz developed a model of interpersonal attachment based on a combination of positive and negative views of self and others. Secure attachment reflects positive and general views of self and others. However, these cognitive beliefs can change, and if/when they do, a person’s attachment style might also be altered. The Surgeon General’s advisory report discussed the potential harm that social media can have on self-esteem and self-comparison. It’s possible that this harm could result in some social media users becoming generally anxious, fearful, or dismissive about most relationships. As the Surgeon General noted, there are potential benefits in the use of social media. Protective factors to consider while utilizing social media include engaging in long-term/reflective thinking while making certain posts, interacting with social media contacts as if they were in-person contacts, and engaging with social media content that promotes positive views about self and others.

("Galiano" or the "Company") (TSX: GAU) (NYSE American: GAU) is pleased to announce that it has terminated its gold purchase and sale agreement (the "Agreement") with Red Kite Opportunities Master Fund Limited ("Red Kite") for total cash consideration of US$13 million . Under the Agreement, the Company had been required to sell 100% of gold production from the Asanko Gold Mine (the "AGM"), up to a maximum of 2.2 million ounces, at a spot price selected by Red Kite during a nine-day quotational period following shipment of gold from the AGM.

Compatriot Lindsey Vonn has the second-most alpine World Cup wins by a woman with 82. bb/jsPolice became convinced they were investigating a crime in the disappearance of University of Mississippi student Jimmie “Jay” Lee when they interviewed the man now on trial in his death, a top officer testified Tuesday. Lee had been missing for two weeks when officers arrested Sheldon “Timothy” Herrington Jr. on July 22, 2022, said Oxford Police Chief Jeff McCutchen. Authorities interviewed Herington twice that day, and he gave conflicting information about the hours before Lee vanished, the chief said. “From the moment that we gave Tim Herrington the opportunity to tell the truth and he couldn’t and he lied and we backed that up, we knew then,” McCutchen said. Herrington, 24, is being tried on a capital murder charge in the death of Lee, 20, a gay man who was well known in the LGBTQ+ community at Ole Miss and in Oxford. Lee disappeared in Oxford, where Herrington’s trial is in its second week. Prosecutors and the defense both called their final witnesses Tuesday, and Herrington did not testify. Closing arguments are set for Wednesday. Lee’s body has never been found, but a judge has declared him dead. Herrington maintains his innocence and his attorney, Kevin Horan, told jurors last week that prosecutors have “zero” proof Lee was killed. Lee has not contacted friends or family, and his financial transactions and once-prolific social media posts have stopped since the day he went missing, investigators testified. Before officers interviewed Herrington, they had already obtained sexually explicit text messages exchanged between social media accounts belonging to Herrington and Lee in the early hours of July 8, 2022, when Herrington disappeared in Oxford, McCutchen said. Lee communicated with his mother daily, and sent his last message to her hours before he vanished to wish her happy birthday, according to earlier testimony. Google records obtained through a warrant showed that Herrington searched “how long does it take to strangle someone” at 5:56 a.m., University Police Department Sgt. Benjamin Douglas testified last week. The final text message from Lee's phone was sent to a social media account belonging to Herrington at 6:03 a.m. from a spot near Herrington's apartment, and cellphone tower in another part of Oxford last located any signal from Lee's phone at 7:28 a.m., McCutchen said Tuesday. A security camera showed Herrington jogging at about 7:30 a.m. out of a parking lot where Lee's car was abandoned, investigators testified earlier. “We’ve been looking for Jay Lee’s body for two years, and we’re not going to stop 'til we find it," McCutchen said in court Tuesday. On the day Lee vanished, Herrington was also seen on security cameras buying duct tape in Oxford and driving to his own hometown of about an hour away, police have testified. Herrington is from an affluent family in Grenada, Mississippi, about 52 miles (83.7 kilometers) southwest of Oxford, testified Ryan Baker, an Oxford Police Department intelligence officer who was a detective when he helped investigated the case. Herrington’s grandfather is bishop of a church in Grenada, other family members work at the church and Herrington himself taught youth Sunday school classes there, Baker said. Herrington “was not portraying himself as gay” to family or friends, Baker said. During testimony Tuesday, Herrington's father and grandfather both said Herrington had never spoken about having boyfriends. Herrington operated a furniture moving business with another man while they were students at the University of Mississippi, and they had a white box truck that Herrington drove to Grenada, Baker said. Security cameras at several businesses and a neighbor’s house showed Herrington and the truck in Grenada hours after Lee disappeared, Baker said. During McCutchen's testimony Tuesday, Horan asked whether DNA tests on items taken from Herrington's apartment and the truck showed “any trace evidence at all implicating my client.” McCutchen said they did not, but police first searched Herrington's apartment two weeks after Lee vanished and they searched the box truck a few days after the apartment. Both Herrington and Lee had graduated from the University of Mississippi. Lee was pursuing a master’s degree. He was known for his creative expression through fashion and makeup and often performed in drag shows in Oxford, according to a support group called Justice for Jay Lee. Prosecutors have announced they do not intend to pursue the death penalty, meaning Herrington could get a life sentence if convicted. Mississippi law defines capital murder as a killing committed along with another felony — in this case, kidnapping.F1 closer to approving expanded grid for GM entry

Rust’s hat trick; six-goal 3rd lead Penguins to victoryCONWAY, Ark., Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Home BancShares, Inc. (NYSE: HOMB) (“Home” or “the Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Centennial Bank (“Centennial”), announced it has established additional reserves for loan losses as a result of Hurricane Milton. On October 11, 2024, HOMB announced a $16.7 million reserve as a result of Hurricane Helene, which made landfall September 26, 2024. Upon announcement HOMB indicated the more recent and powerful Hurricane Milton, which made landfall on October 9, 2024, and caused the spin-off of more than two dozen tornados, would likely lead to an increase in this reserve amount. “Out of an abundance of caution, HOMB has decided to make an additional $16.7 million reserve following the second Florida hurricane, bringing our total hurricane reserve to $33.4 million for the year,” said John Allison, Chairman of HOMB. “The two hurricanes spanned across the third and fourth quarter and the amount of time it takes for customers to settle with insurance will no doubt increase, with two back-to-back events,” continued Allison. “We have approximately $110 million currently on deferral as a result of the two hurricanes and in keeping with our conservative nature, we feel as though this proactive move is a prudent and predictable course of action,” added Allison. Branches The Company currently has 76 branches in Arkansas, 78 branches in Florida, 58 branches in Texas, 5 branches in Alabama and one branch in New York City.

After more than 7 years of treatment for Parkinson's syndrome, trembling and stiffness are significantly reduced after robotic surgery 12-13-2024 10:58 PM CET | Health & Medicine Press release from: ABNewswire When it comes to Parkinson disease, many people think of Parkinson syndrome. In life, many people who do not have professional medical knowledge cannot clearly distinguish between these two diseases, and even confuse or completely equate them in many cases. .So what kind of disease is Parkinsonism and what are the specific effects it has on people?Today we will learn about it through a case. Image: https://ecdn6.globalso.com/upload/p/857/image_other/2024-10/h1-1.png Aunt Li is 68 years old this year. Seven years ago, there was no obvious cause for involuntary shaking of the lower left limb, which was a static tremor. She visited a hospital without a clear diagnosis and the drug treatment was ineffective.After half a year, it developed to the upper left limb and there was also a static tremor, slow movement, a slight stiffness of the limbs, and a loss of smell.Aunt Li, who has sought medical treatment for many times, developed involuntary shaking and stiffness of her limbs two years ago, and her movement was slow (difficult to start and slow to turn around). The symptoms were mainly on the left side. For further treatment, he came to our hospital.After a joint diagnosis by several experts in our hospital, it was found that Aunt Li is not a simple Parkinsonism, but belongs to Parkinsonism syndrome. There is an essential difference between the two.Parkinsonism also includes other diseases caused by other reasons that are similar to the symptoms of Parkinsonism.After fully communicating with Aunt Li herself and her family, it was decided that Professor Tian Zengmin would perform robotic stereotactic surgery for her to solve the problem of shaking and slow movement of the left limb.The difference between Parkinsonism and Parkinsonism1 Different age of onsetParkinsonism can occur in any age group, and the youngest patient with Parkinsonism that our hospital has ever treated is only 26 years old.Parkinson's disease usually develops in middle-aged and elderly people. In recent years, with the increase of social pressure, it has also shown a trend of youth.2 Different clinical manifestationsClinically, in addition to the same manifestations as Parkinson's disease such as slow movement, sluggish expression, increased muscle tone, tremor, etc., Parkinson's syndrome often has the same manifestations left over from the original onset. The 26-year-old juvenile patient with Parkinson's syndrome mentioned earlier is also accompanied by hereditary spastic paraplegia.The imaging manifestations of Parkinson's disease are not characteristic, while Parkinson's syndrome often has corresponding changes or characteristic changes.3The etiology and pathogenesis are different.The pathological changes of Parkinson's disease are mainly due to the degeneration of dopamine neurons in the melanoplasm of the midbrain, so that they cannot produce enough dopamine and become ill.On the other hand, Parkinson's syndrome is a syndrome of known etiology. The pathological changes in the brain are caused by lesions of the brain, the melanoplasm and striatum pathways of the midbrain, and degeneration of dopamine neurons, resulting in insufficient production of dopamine or inability to transmit dopamine to maintain normal nerve function. Caused.4 Different treatments.The treatment of Parkinsonism is not the same as the treatment of Parkinsonism. Early drug treatment has a better effect on Parkinsonism, but the effect on Parkinsonism is poor.Technical introduction. Robotic stereotactic surgery.In 2019, Nuolai International Medical Center introduced robot-assisted frameless brain stereotactic surgery. With the help of medical image scanning, three-dimensional visualization, multi-modal image fusion and other technologies, the brain lesion area can be accurately found.After planning the puncture path to accurately reach the surgical target, and solving the lesion problem through thermal coagulation, biological therapy, etc., brain diseases can be fundamentally treated, and the effect is very mature and successful.Technical advantage.Compared with the trauma caused by traditional craniotomy, frameless brain stereotactic surgery has the advantages of scientific and technological innovation in four aspects: minimally invasive, accurate, efficient and safe.The entire operation takes only 30 minutes, the wound is only 2-3 mm, and the positioning accuracy reaches 1 mm. After 2-3 days of postoperative observation, you can be discharged from the hospital.The risk rate of surgery such as infection and bleeding is much lower than 1%, and it has obvious effects on nearly 100 kinds of extranasal diseases such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy, cerebral hemorrhage, and Parkinsonism.

The patient and his family were very satisfied with the treatment effect. Media Contact Company Name: Nuolai Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd.

GM said it needs to drop robotaxi efforts “given the considerable time and resources that would be needed to scale the business, along with an increasingly competitive robotaxi market.” It said it will instead focus on driver assistance features rather than fully automous vehicles; developing a fleet of robotaxis would have required more than US$10 billion, the company added. GM faces competition in the robotaxi market from Google’s Waymo unit in partnership with Uber, let alone ride-hailing and taxi services that use human drivers. And earlier this fall, Tesla announced plans for new driverless vehicles without steering wheels, brakes or accelerators, as well as for a robotaxi service that would allow Tesla owners to rent out their cars to the service when they don’t need it for their own use. But GM has decided that’s no longer a sector in which it makes sense to compete. GM CEO Mary Barra told investors Tuesday that the company decided the robotaxi service was not part of GM’s core business, and that shifting its self-driving technology efforts to driver assist features available on privately-owned cars will help with the products it offers to car buyers. “GM is committed to delivering the best driving experiences to our customers in a disciplined and capital efficient manner,” said Barra in a statement. “We’re fully committed to autonomous driving and excited to bring GM customers its benefits – things like enhanced safety, improved traffic flow, increased accessibility, and reduced driver stress,” said Dave Richardson, senior vice president of software and services engineering at GM.TORONTO — Canada's main stock index edged higher in trading on Wednesday, helped by strength in the technology sector, while U.S. stock markets also rose. The S&P/TSX composite index was up 5.45 points at 25,641.18. The index took a “breather” Wednesday ahead of key labour market indicators set to be released both in Canada and the U.S. this week, said Angelo Kourkafas, senior investment strategist at Edward Jones. Statistics Canada will report the latest data from the national labour force survey on Friday, the same day the November jobs report is due in the U.S. “That's the last important data point for the Bank of Canada before they meet next week,” said Kourkafas. November was a strong month for equities, he said, so it isn't surprising that investors are digesting the gains while they await new data. He said it’s expected that Statistics Canada will report an acceleration of job gains after last month brought a “relatively weak reading,” with job gains at about half of what analysts were expecting. While Canada’s central bank is expected to cut its key interest rate a fifth straight time on Dec. 11, the size of the cut could depend on that jobs data, he said. “We're now looking at a rebound, but as the Bank of Canada deliberates between a quarter point cut versus half a percentage point cut, I think what we are going to see in terms of unemployment rate and the base of job gains is going to have a say into that,” said Kourkafas, adding that wage growth is another important metric to watch. “If we see steady job growth and slowing wages, that can potentially tilt the Bank of Canada towards a larger cut.” In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 308.51 points at 45,014.04. The S&P 500 index was up 36.61 points at 6,086.49, while the Nasdaq composite was up 254.21 points at 19,735.12. U.S. markets were propelled by strength in the technology sector, said Kourkafas, highlighting strong results in quarterly earnings released this week by Salesforce Inc. and Marvell Technology Inc. “I think today's results highlight that there is still a long runway and still enthusiasm, excitement about artificial intelligence and kind of that multi-year adoption cycle,” he said. The Canadian dollar traded for 71.09 cents US compared with 71.14 cents US on Tuesday. The January crude oil contract was down US$1.40 at US$68.54 per barrel and the January natural gas contract was up less than a penny at US$3.04 per mmBTU. The February gold contract was up US$8.30 at US$2,676.20 an ounce and the March copper contract was down less than a penny at US$4.20 a pound.
