Trump's lawyers rebuff DA's idea for upholding his hush money convictionLONDON (AP) — West Ham players showed their support for seriously injured teammate Michail Antonio before and during their Premier League home win against Wolverhampton on Monday, two days after his car crash. The players warmed up in “Antonio 9” jerseys and walked on to the field in tops adorning his name. The club will put the walk-out tops up for auction along with every match jersey worn against Wolves, with the proceeds going to medical charities and matched by the club’s board. West Ham fans stood in London Stadium and applauded for Antonio in the ninth, and when captain Jarrod Bowen scored the 2-1 winner in the second half, he approached supporters behind the goal carrying an Antonio jersey. “To share that moment, he's not here with us but I'm sure (Antonio) was watching and the fans, you heard them,” Bowen told broadcaster Sky Sports. “An emotional couple of days.” Before the game, Bowen said, “Everyone loves Mic, he is a big character. “He is not just a teammate, he is a friend and has been for many years. A dad as well to beautiful children. It is one of those things where life is bigger than football. The main thing is Mic is safe and well and here to tell the story. Saturday was a really difficult time. He is a warrior and a fighter, he always has been, and I know he will be back stronger for this." Story continues below video Antonio, a 34-year-old Jamaica international, was recovering in hospital after undergoing surgery on what West Ham described as a “lower limb fracture.” He was involved in a one-car incident outside London on Saturday, after which he was hospitalized and kept under close supervision. He wished the team well by video before the match. Antonio has made more than 300 appearances for West Ham since joining the club from Nottingham Forest in 2015, and played in all 14 games this season before the incident.

NYS Division Division of Consumer Protection provides tips to for shopping returnsFormer President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100. The 39th president of the United States was a Georgia peanut farmer who sought to restore trust in government when he assumed the presidency in 1977 and then built a reputation for tireless work as a humanitarian. He earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. He died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in Plains, Georgia. At age 52, Carter was sworn in as president on Jan. 20, 1977, after defeating President Gerald R. Ford in the 1976 general election. Carter left office on Jan. 20, 1981, following his 1980 general election loss to Ronald Reagan. Here's the latest: The longest-lived American president died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care , at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at 96 in November 2023 , spent most of their lives. “Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia,” The Carter Center said in posting about his death on the social media platform X. It added in a statement that he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. In his 1975 book “Why Not The Best,” Carter said of himself: “I am a Southerner and an American, I am a farmer, an engineer, a father and husband, a Christian, a politician and former governor, a planner, a businessman, a nuclear physicist, a naval officer, a canoeist, and among other things a lover of Bob Dylan’s songs and Dylan Thomas’s poetry.” A moderate Democrat, Carter entered the 1976 presidential race as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad smile, outspoken Baptist mores and technocratic plans reflecting his education as an engineer. After he left office and returned home to his tiny hometown of Plains in southwest Georgia, Carter regularly taught Sunday School lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church until his mobility declined. Those sessions drew visitors from around the world. Former Vice President Al Gore praised Jimmy Carter for living “a life full of purpose, commitment and kindness” and for being a “lifelong role model for the entire environmental movement.” Carter, who left the White House in 1981 after a landslide defeat to Ronald Reagan. concentrated on conflict resolution, defending democracy and fighting disease in the developing world. Gore, who lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, remains a leading advocate for action to fight climate change. Both won Nobel Peace Prizes. Gore said that “it is a testament to his unyielding determination to help build a more just and peaceful world” that Carter is often “remembered equally for the work he did as President as he is for his leadership over the 42 years after he left office.” During Gore’s time in the White House, President Bill Clinton had an uneasy relationship with Carter. But Gore said he is “grateful” for “many years of friendship and collaboration” with Carter. Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, remember Carter as a man who lived to serve others. “Hillary and I mourn the passing of President Jimmy Carter and give thanks for his long, good life. Guided by his faith, President Carter lived to serve others — until the very end." The statement recalled Carter's many achievements and priorities, including efforts “to protect our natural resources in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, make energy conservation a national priority, return the Panama Canal to Panama, and secure peace between Egypt and Israel at Camp David." After he left office, the Clinton statement said, Carter continued efforts in "supporting honest elections, advancing peace, combating disease, and promoting democracy; to his and Rosalynn’s devotion and hard work at Habitat for Humanity — he worked tirelessly for a better, fairer world,” the statement said.

, Digital Sports Journalist The drawhas been made, the courts are ready and the ball kids havebeen assembled for the start of New Zealand's premier tennistournament. The action at the Auckland Tennis Centrestarts on Monday with the women's week of the ASB Classic -and for the first time in a long time, we have a real chanceof seeing a local going deep and potentially lifting thetrophy. But it's not just about the action on thecourt. The ASB Classic is as much about what goes on in thestands, boxes and out in the hospitality area, so there isplenty to look forward to in our all-too-brief summer oftennis. Here is a look at who is competing and what tolook out for: MadisonKeys will be feeling pretty good right now. The last timeshe came to Auckland back in 2013 she was bundled out inqualifying, but this time returns as the number oneseed. She is currently ranked 20 in the world, butmight be on a collision course with fellow American SofiaKenin in the quarters. Kenin has won the last two matchesbetween the two, with chances of an overall American victoryhigh given that there are 10 of them in thedraw. Lulu Sun, born in TeAnau and raised in Switzerland, returns to Auckland as anofficial NZ representative for the first time. Not onlythat, but at her highest ranking of 40 and coming off a boomseason that saw her and be . She has won over $1million in prize money in 2024, and while she has not won aWTA title yet, she reached the final of the Abierto GNPSeguros in Mexico back in August. It's fair to saythat a win for Sun this week would be a dream for tournamentorganisers and headline writers alike. It is probably not accurate to say that theformer world number one and four-time Grand Slam champion isdesperate to reach those heights again, more that and enjoy italong the way. Osaka had a much-publicised mentalhealth break in 2021, just as she was poised to become thelong-term face of the women's game - which in financialterms would make her one of the highest paid athletes in theworld. It was a coup to get the current 58th rankedplayer in the world here, but judging by her social mediathis week, Osaka is having a good time sofar. After a first visit toAuckland that could not really have , Emma Raducanu has come back for the thirdyear in a row and will once again be a crowdfavourite. The 2021 US Open champion featured in oneof the the ASB Classic has ever seen back in January,when she went the distance in an ultimately losing effortagainst powerful Ukrainian Elina Svitolina. Raducanuprovides the star power alongside Osaka, and both playershave a nice run of matches before the business end of thetournament begins. The onlyother Kiwi in the draw, Vivian Wang, has been granted awildcard but drew number two seed Elise Mertens in the firstround. The Belgian is coming in ranked 34 in theworld, while American Amanda Anisimova, Sun and Denmark'sClara Tauson round out the top fiveseeds. The ASB Classic has awell-earned reputation for being one of the best-runsporting events in this part of the world, with a lot ofthat down to the hospitality options on offer. As long asthe weather plays its part, the stands should be full everyday, and out the back there is plenty of room to watch theaction on big screens. It is a rather unique setting,with centre court surrounded by corporate boxes, with theliberal amounts of booze served making for some rowdy crowdswatching the later matches.Cardinal Health Inc. stock underperforms Monday when compared to competitors
