Wayne Rooney encourages I’m A Celeb viewers to vote for Coleen to do a trialMaguindanao del Sur map. INQUIRER FILES TACURONG CITY, SULTAN KUDARAT—Violence continued to rear its ugly head in Maguindanao, with the latest gun attack claiming the lives of a wife of the soldier-escort of the mayor of Rajah Buayan town, her 3-month old child and their driver. Harrah Utto Lumenda Mabalo, her baby girl and the minivan driver Nunokan Manalindo, all residents of Rajah Buayan, were heading home from Tacurong City when waylaid by their attackers along the national highway of Barangay Mileb in the town at 4 p.m. on Thursday, said Police Lt. Argie Eyana, chief of the Rajah Buayan municipal police. READ: 3 persons, including 3-month-old baby, killed in Maguindanao ambush Rajah Buayan Mayor Bai Maruja Ampatuan Mastura said the ambush could be related to the elections’ next year but did not elaborate. The mayor said Bai Kong Lumenda Utto, a relative of Mabalo who survived the ambush, recounted to him that she noticed unidentified men on board a minivan and other men on board two motorcycles tailing them from Tacurong City. “It could be election related, ” Mastura said. “I am sad that it happened to the victims, especially the child.” Police were looking at “rido” or personal grudge as possible motives. “But the information we gathered showed that the victim had no known enemies,” Eyana told the Inquirer. “I have no idea of the real motive, the police are still investigating, but my personal view is it could be related to the coming elections,” the mayor said. Mastura, who is seeking reelection in Rajah Muda town, is being challenged by former mayor Jack Ampatuan. Both Mastura and Ampatuan are distant relatives of Mabalo, according to Eyana. A spate of gun attacks targeting aspirants for political posts in next years’ elections and in some cases, election officers, has been noted in different areas in the Mindanao, particularly in the Bangsamoro and central and northern Mindanao, after the filing of certificates of candidacy (COC) in October this year of those running for seats in next year’s midterm elections and filing of COCs for those running for parliament seats in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao on Nov. 9. On Dec. 7, an aspirant for vice mayor in Malabang, Lanao del Sur, and two others were injured while their two retired police companions were killed in an ambush along a dirt road of Barangay Paigoay Coda of Marogong town. Vice mayor aspirant Ramil Bao, however, survived the ambush along with two companions but their retired police companions were killed. On Nov. 25, Mark Orlando Vallecer II, an acting election officer of Nunungan town in Lanao del Norte, was shot dead in Salvador town of the province. On Nov. 23, or two days before Vallecer’s attack, an aspirant for governor in Sarangani province survived a gun attack while an election officer of a town in Sultan Kudarat was shot dead barely minutes from each other. Lawyer Gladden Lim, 48, a businessman and aspiring candidate for governor in Sarangani, survived the Nov. 23 gun attack inside a church compound in General Santos City at 6:20 p.m. At around 6 p.m. on the same day in nearby President Quirino town of Sultan Kudarat, John Nico Pandoy, the assistant election officer of Isulan, Sultan Kudarat, but detailed as acting election officer of President Quirino, was killed by motorcycle-riding men along the national highway of President Quirino.

Next up, the Hurricanes will play host to Arkansas on Tuesday night in Coral Gables, Fla., as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge. Miami (3-4) lost on Saturday afternoon to Charleston Southern, a team that entered with a 1-7 record. Arkansas (5-2) is coming off a Thanksgiving loss to Illinois on a neutral floor in Kansas City, Mo. "We've got a lot to learn," said John Calipari, in his first season coaching Arkansas. "We really haven't scrimmaged because we haven't had 10 guys (due to injuries). "But this team is going to be fine." The same thing cannot confidently be said about the Hurricanes. Their first three defeats of the current skid were tough for Miami to take, losing to Drake, Oklahoma State and VCU on a neutral court as part of the Charleston Classic. But the loss to Charleston Southern -- which was a 25-point underdog -- has to be considered among the worst in Miami history. Hurricanes coach Jim Larranaga was without point guard Nijel Pack, who missed the contest due to a lower-body injury. Pack leads Miami in scoring (15.2) and assists (4.7). There are no reports on how long he will be out. With Pack unavailable, five-star freshman Jalil Bethea made his first college start. However, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard has not yet played up to his ranking. Bethea is averaging 6.3 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists. He is also shooting 30.0 percent on 3-pointers. Miami ranks 284th in the nation in rebounds and 259th in blocked shots. "We haven't been able to put together a solid defensive effort," Larranaga said following the loss to Charleston Southern. "Some of it has to do with fundamentals. Some of it has to do with athletic ability. Some of it has to do with size." Tuesday's game will match two veteran coaches: Larranaga, 75, and Calipari, 65. Calipari brought in seven transfers and five freshmen for his first season in Fayetteville. Two of those transfers -- 6-foot-8 wing Adou Thiero and 7-foot-2 center Zvonimir Ivisic -- were signed after leaving Kentucky, Calipari's previous stop. Thiero leads Arkansas in scoring (19.1), rebounds (5.9) and steals (2.9). Ivisic leads Arkansas in blocks (2.7) while ranking third in points (12.1). Freshman Boogie Fland, a McDonald's All-American, has made a quick transition to college ball. The 6-foot-2 point guard is second on the team in scoring (15.9) and steals (1.9) and first in assists (4.9). Among Arkansas' bench pieces are 6-foot-11 Tennessee transfer Jonas Aidoo and 6-foot-10 Arkansas holdover Trevon Brazile. Their combined 92 college starts illustrate Arkansas' depth. "The ceiling is there," Calipari said. "But we need to be the aggressors." --Field Level Media

The S&P 500 rose 0.8% to break its first two-day losing streak in nearly a month and finished just short of its all-time high. Big Tech stocks led the way, which drove the Nasdaq composite up 1.8% to top the 20,000 level for the first time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, lagged the market with a dip of 99 points, or 0.2%. Stocks got a boost as expectations built that Wednesday's inflation data will allow the Fed to deliver another cut to interest rates at its meeting next week. Traders are betting on a nearly 99% probability of that, according to data from CME Group, up from 89% a day before. If they're correct, it would be a third straight cut by the Fed after it began lowering rates in September from a two-decade high. It's hoping to support a slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower rates would give a boost to the economy and to prices for investments, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. "The data have given the Fed the 'all clear' for next week, and today's inflation data keep a January cut in active discussion," according to Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Expectations for a series of cuts to rates by the Fed have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times this year, with the latest coming last week. The biggest boosts for the index on Wednesday came from Nvidia and other Big Tech stocks. Their massive growth has made them Wall Street's biggest stars for years , though other kinds of stocks have recently been catching up somewhat amid hopes for the broader U.S. economy . Tesla jumped 5.9% to finish above $420 at $424.77. It's a level that Elon Musk made famous in a 2018 tweet when he said he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share. Stitch Fix soared 44.3% after the company that sends clothes to your door reported a smaller loss for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It also gave financial forecasts for the current quarter that were better than expected, including for revenue. GE Vernova rallied 5% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500. The energy company that spun out of General Electric said it would pay a 25 cent dividend every three months, and it approved a plan to send up to another $6 billion to its shareholders by buying back its own stock. On the losing end of Wall Street, Dave & Buster's Entertainment tumbled 20.1% after reporting a worse loss for the latest quarter than expected. It also said CEO Chris Morris has resigned, and the board has been working with an executive-search firm for the last few months to find its next permanent leader. Albertsons fell 1.5% after filing a lawsuit against Kroger, saying it didn't do enough for their proposed $24.6 billion merger agreement to win regulatory clearance. Albertsons said it's seeking billions of dollars in damages from Kroger, whose stock rose 1%. A day earlier, judges in separate cases in Oregon and Washington nixed the supermarket giants' merger. The grocers contended a combination could have helped them compete with big retailers like Walmart, Costco and Amazon, but critics said it would hurt competition. After terminating the merger agreement with Kroger, Albertsons said it plans to boost its dividend 25% and increased the size of its program to buy back its own stock. Macy's slipped 0.8% after cutting some of its financial forecasts for the full year of 2024, including for how much profit it expects to make off each $1 of revenue. All told, the S&P 500 rose 49.28 points to 6,084.19. The Dow dipped 99.27 to 44,148.56, and the Nasdaq composite rallied 347.65 to 20,034.89. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.27% from 4.23% late Tuesday. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, edged up to 4.15% from 4.14%. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was an outlier and slipped 0.8% as Chinese leaders convened an annual planning meeting in Beijing that is expected to set economic policies and growth targets for the coming year. South Korea's Kospi rose 1%, up for a second straight day as it climbs back following last week's political turmoil where its president briefly declared martial law.

The International Football Association Board (IFAB) on Monday approved expanded trials of Football Video Support (FVS), an alternative VAR system which gives coaches the chance to challenge decisions. FVS, which was used at the U20 and U17 FIFA Women's World Cups this year, was initially given the green light for testing by the IFAB in March as a cost-effective alternative to VAR. Pierluigi Collina, the chairman of FIFA's referees' committee, told ESPN last month that he would be making an application at the IFAB's Annual Business Meeting in London to have trials in more competitions. Rather than reviews being overseen and controlled only by an official acting as a video assistant referee, FVS gives coaches the chance to make up to two challenges per match if they feel an error has been made. At present, the challenge system is only intended for use in leagues with fewer resources, ideally with no more than four cameras, rather than top divisions like the . It could be used in a competition like the , which has problems using VAR due to the wide-ranging size and type of stadiums used. "We are at the beginning of the trial and the experiences at both the U20 and U17 FIFA Women's World Cup will be carefully analysed but so far, we haven't noticed anything unexpected," Collina told ESPN. "Several FIFA member associations already showed the interest to participate to the trial. "Making clear that FVS is not VAR is critical, in particular in terms of expectation. Because of the limited number of cameras, FVS won't be able to show what VAR can show. Offside is an example: without cameras properly positioned, only clear offside can be spotted. This makes the on-field decision important too. "FVS is designed to work with a limited camera set up, ideally up to four to five. With more cameras, the process of checking all of the footage and available angles may become very long as, and differently from VAR, there are not any video match officials selecting those clips to be seen by the referee." With FVS the coach makes a challenge to a decision and the referee then goes to the side of the pitch to view a replay of the incident. Unlike with VAR, there is only a replay operator who cues up the video. The match referee alone then assesses his own decision and isn't told he has made a clear and obvious error in advance. The IFAB was also presented with update to a trial which addresses goalkeepers holding the ball for too long, and sees the opposition given a corner or throw-in (two separate trials) if it is held for more than eight seconds after they have clear control. Premier League 2, a competition for the 25 clubs with "Category One" academies, has been part of this trial. Also discussed was the trial which sees only the captain able to speak to the referee, trials involving public announcements after lengthy VAR checks and VAR reviews, developments in relation to semi-automated offside technology and the use of referee body cameras. The IFAB's Annual General Meeting on March 1 will take the next decisions in relation to these trials, and confirm any amendments to the Laws, to take effect from next July.

“What do you do? You wack the C.E.O. at the annual parasitic bean-counter convention. It’s targeted, precise, and doesn’t risk innocents.” Those lines reportedly come from a notebook found in the possession of Luigi Mangione , the 26-year-old man suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. After Mangione was taken into custody earlier this week at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, the public has slowly begun to learn about the man that police believe committed one of the most audacious murders in living memory. That murder, which took place on Dec. 4th in midtown Manhattan, saw Thompson gunned down in front of his hotel by a masked assailant. Security camera footage shows a figure dressed in gray attire who, after killing Thompson, stepped onto an e-bike and rode away. Bullet casings found at the crime scene were etched with the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose”—which some have speculated may reference a book about the healthcare industry. Now, police say they have gotten their hands on a notebook belonging to Mangione. The New York Times reports that the notebook “detailed plans for the shooting,” and also “described going to a conference and killing an executive.” The Times report doesn’t shed much light on the other contents of the notebook, writing that the lines that had been shared were communicated to the paper by two law enforcement officials. It’s possible that, as criminal proceedings progress, more of the notebook’s contents may be shared. Mangione is also thought to have written a “manifesto,” which law enforcement sources claim is legitimate. This supposed document was published online earlier this week by independent journalist Ken Klippenstein and, in one section, reads: “I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy.” The manifesto also mentions a “spiral notebook” that the document states should “illuminate the gist of it,” seeming to allude to motivations for the shooting. Thompson’s death has predictably polarized the internet—and America. Rightwing influencers almost immediately sought to portray Mangione as a leftist, with LibsofTikTok calling him an “anti-capitalist climate-change activist.” Meanwhile, left-leaning accounts were more than happy to lionize the young man, with many people commenting on Mangione’s good looks, and others expressing support for killing corporate executives. Indeed, a broad, bipartisan dislike of the healthcare industry has made itself known over the past week, with many people expressing their disdain for it via jokes and memes , many of which have been made at the murdered healthcare executive’s expense. That said, a clear picture of Mangione’s personal politics hasn’t yet emerged. The Wall Street Journal referred to him as an “Ivy Leaguer with Anticapitalist Leanings.” The scouring of Mangione’s public-facing social media accounts has turned up a hodgepodge of interests and political leanings that don’t seem to fit into a coherent partisan picture. He did reportedly leave a favorable book review on Goodreads of Ted Kaczynski, the former promising young mathematician who took part in a CIA mind control experiment in the 1950s and went on to become “the Unabomber,” an anarchist terrorist who mailed bombs to people. It’s been reported that Mangione is from a wealthy, well-connected family and that he previously worked as a computer programmer. A video posted online shows the young man giving a valedictorian speech at his private prep school graduation in 2016. At some point, Mangione suffered a debilitating back injury . He is said to have abruptly dropped off the radar in the months before the shooting, prompting some to speculate that something happened during that period to radicalize him towards violence. Mangione’s mother reportedly filed a missing person’s report with the San Francisco Police Department on Nov. 18th.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — John Elway says any remorse over bypassing Josh Allen in the 2018 NFL draft is quickly dissipating with rookie Bo Nix's rapid rise, suggesting the Denver Broncos have finally found their next franchise quarterback. Elway said Nix, the sixth passer selected in April's draft, is an ideal fit in Denver with coach Sean Payton navigating his transition to the pros and Vance Joseph's defense serving as a pressure release valve for the former Oregon QB. "We've seen the progression of Bo in continuing to get better and better each week and Sean giving him more each week and trusting him more and more to where last week we saw his best game of the year," Elway said in a nod to Nix's first game with 300 yards and four touchdown throws in a rout of Atlanta. For that performance, Nix earned his second straight NFL Rookie of the Week honor along with the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award. "I think the sky's the limit," Elway said, "and that's just going to continue to get better and better." In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, Elway also touted former coach Mike Shanahan's Hall of Fame credentials, spoke about the future of University of Colorado star and Heisman favorite Travis Hunter and discussed his ongoing bout with a chronic hand condition. Elway spent the last half of his decade as the Broncos' GM in a futile search for a worthy successor to Peyton Manning, a pursuit that continued as he transitioned into a two-year consultant role that ended after the 2022 season. "You have all these young quarterbacks and you look at the ones that make it and the ones that don't and it's so important to have the right system and a coach that really knows how to tutelage quarterbacks, and Sean's really good at that," Elway said. "I think the combination of Bo's maturity, having started 61 games in college, his athletic ability and his knowledge of the game has been such a tremendous help for him,'" Elway added. "But also Vance Joseph's done a heck of a job on the defensive side to where all that pressure's not being put on Bo and the offense to score all the time." Payton and his staff have methodically expanded Nix's repertoire and incorporated his speed into their blueprints. Elway lauded them for "what they're doing offensively and how they're breaking Bo into the NFL because it's a huge jump and I think patience is something that goes a long way in the NFL when it comes down to quarterbacks." Elway said he hopes to sit down with Nix at some point when things slow down for the rookie. Nix, whose six wins are one more than Elway had as a rookie, said he looks forward to meeting the man who won two Super Bowls during his Hall of Fame playing career and another from the front office. "He's a legend not only here for this organization, but for the entire NFL," Nix said, adding, "most guys, they would love to have a chat with John Elway, just pick his brain. It's just awesome that I'm even in that situation." Hall of Fame Orange Crush linebacker Randy Gradishar joined Elway in the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, something Elway called "way, way overdue." Elway suggested it's also long past time for the Hall to honor Shanahan, who won back-to-back Super Bowls in Denver with Elway at QB and whose footprint you see every weekend in the NFL because of his expansive coaching tree. Sanders & Hunter Elway called University of Colorado stars Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders "both great athletes." He said he really hopes Sanders gets drafted by a team that will bring him along like the Broncos have done with Nix, and he sees Hunter being able to play both ways in the pros — but not full time. Elway said he thinks Hunter will be primarily a corner in the NFL but with significant contributions on offense: "He's great at both. He's got great instincts, and that's what you need at corner." Hand condition It's been five years since Elway announced he was dealing with Dupuytren's contracture, a chronic condition that typically appears after age 40 and causes one or more fingers to permanently bend toward the palm. Elway's ring fingers on both hands were originally affected and he said now the middle finger on his right hand is starting to pull forward. So, he'll get another injection of a drug called Xiaflex, which is the only FDA-approved non-surgical treatment, one that he's endorsing in an awareness campaign for the chronic condition that affects 17 million Americans. The condition can make it difficult to do everyday tasks such as shaking hands or picking up a coffee mug. Elway said what bothered him most was "I couldn't pick up a football and I could not imagine not being able to put my hand around a football."Standard BioTools (NASDAQ:LAB) Trading Down 6.3% – Should You Sell?Democrats still don't agree on the seriousness of their political problem after election defeat

US lawmakers voted Wednesday after fraught negotiations to move forward with a contentious 2025 defense budget that raises troops' pay but blocks funding of gender-affirming care for some transgender children of service members. The centerpiece of the $884 billion National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) -- which was green-lit by the Republican-led House of Representatives but still needs Senate approval -- is a 14.5 percent pay increase for junior enlisted service members and 4.5 percent for other personnel. But talks over the 1,800-page-plus text were complicated by a last-minute Republican intervention to prevent the military's health program from covering gender-affirming care for children of service members if it results in "sterilization." "Citizens don't want their tax dollars to go to this, and underaged people often regret these surgeries later in life," Nebraska Republican Don Bacon told CNN. "It's a bad hill to die on for Democrats." Gender-affirming health care for children is just one of multiple fronts in the so-called "culture wars" that polarize US politics and divide the country, with Republicans using the issue as a cudgel against Democrats in November's elections. The funding block angered progressives, and prompted the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee to come out against the legislation. "As I said a few days ago, blanketly denying health care to people who need it -- just because of a biased notion against transgender people -- is wrong," Adam Smith, who represents a district in Washington state, said in a statement. "The inclusion of this harmful provision puts the lives of children at risk and may force thousands of service members to make the choice of continuing their military service or leaving to ensure their child can get the health care they need." Smith slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson for pandering to "the most extreme elements of his party" by including the transgender provision. The must-pass NDAA -- a bill that Congress has sent to the president's desk without fail every year since 1961 -- cleared the chamber in a 281-140 vote and now moves to the Senate, with final passage expected next week. The topline figure is one percent above last year's total and, with funding from other sources, brings the total defense budget to just under $900 billion. Some foreign policy hawks on the Republican side of the Senate wanted $25 billion more for the Pentagon but they are still expected to support the bill. "The safety and security of the American people is our top priority, and this year's NDAA ensures our military has the resources and the capabilities needed to remain the most powerful fighting force on the planet," Johnson told reporters. ft/mlm
