PLAINS, Ga. — Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States and a Nobel Peace Prize winner whose post-White House life was steeped in fighting for human rights and personally helping build homes through Habitat for Humanity, has died. He was 100. Carter passed away Sunday afternoon in Plains, Georgia, The Carter Center announced . The organization shared in Feb. 2023 that the former president had entered home hospice care. A few months later, the family shared that former first lady Rosalynn Carter was diagnosed with dementia. She passed away in November 2023. While family members have since shared they didn’t expect the former president to go on much longer after Rosalynn’s death, Carter defied expectations and on Oct. 1 became the first U.S. president to live a full century. James Earl Carter, Jr. was born in Plains, Georgia, on Oct. 1, 1924. Peanut farming and devotion to the Baptist Church were mainstays of his upbringing. After graduating from the Naval Academy in 1946, Carter went on to marry Rosalynn Smith. After he served seven years as a naval officer, Carter returned to Plains. He first entered the political world in 1962, serving two terms in the Georgia state senate. Eight years later, Carter was elected governor of Georgia, and held that office from 1971 to 1975. Carter was the Democratic nominee for president in 1976 and went on to defeat incumbent Pres. Gerald Ford in the general election, 297 electoral votes to 240. Carter is the last Democratic presidential nominee to win the states of Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. “I would hope that the nations of the world might say that we had built a lasting peace, based not on weapons of war, but on international policies that reflect our own most precious values,” Carter said in his inaugural address. Among his accomplishments in the Oval Office, Carter helped calm tensions in the Middle East as he facilitated the Camp David Accords, signed by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin in 1978. Carter also created two new cabinet-level departments – the Department of Energy and the Department of Education. But there were controversies, particularly in the final 14 months of his presidency. The Iran Hostage Crisis saw 66 American diplomats and citizens held hostage in the U.S. Embassy in Iran. In an attempt to free the hostages, Carter ordered a military operation that failed, killing eight American servicemen. After 444 days, the hostages were freed on January 20, 1981 -- the day Carter's successor, Ronald Reagan, took office. Carter also ordered a U.S. boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympic Games in Moscow to protest the Soviet Union invading Afghanistan. Sixty other nations also boycotted. The Soviets would return the gesture by boycotting the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Carter lost a bid for a second term to Reagan in what was both an electoral vote and popular vote landslide . After leaving Washington, Carter’s spent his time advancing human rights around the world. In 1982, he established The Carter Center in Atlanta. “I’ve been humbled to get to know people around the world and to see that, in effect, all people on earth are the same in the eyes of God, and should be the same in the eyes of each other – worthy of respect, care and love,” Carter said. His work abroad won him the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize. Carter also continued to give back at home through his involvement with Habitat for Humanity. He also taught Sunday school and was a deacon at the Maranatha Baptist Church of Plains. "We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace. We can make these changes — and we must," Carter once said. Carter holds the distinction of living longer than any other former president. He and wife, Rosalynn, also hold the record of the longest-married couple in presidential history – with the couple celebrating their 77th wedding anniversary on July 7, 2023. Carter is survived by three sons, one daughter, 11 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.Day 6 10:32 From frying eggs to spooky solitaire, unwrapping the top under-the-radar video games of 2024 It was a strange year for the video games industry. The deluge of layoffs of 2023 continued into 2024 , with studios being shut down and publishers like Sony and Microsoft shedding hundreds of jobs or more. While the gaming business continues to be risky — especially after the pandemic lockdown boom cooled — many critically acclaimed games big and small hit consoles, PCs and mobile. Some of them, including Astro Bo t and Balatro , were celebrated at The Game Awards in Los Angeles last night. (The CBC is a member on its jury that helps vote for the winners .) Here are the best titles of 2024, as chosen by CBC gaming enthusiasts. Animal Well Nintendo Switch, Sony PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC Explore a dense, interconnected labyrinth and unravel its many secrets in Animal Well. (Shared Memory/Bigmode) Animal Well is a 2D puzzle platformer where you control a tiny bouncing blob with eyes thrown into a mazelike world that evokes classic games like Metroid . It was lovingly crafted by a single developer, Billy Basso, over seven years. He created the beautiful art style, the music and, most importantly, the seemingly endless layers of puzzles sure to delight and confound you. This well goes much, much deeper than it first lets on. Many of the puzzles don't have one set way to solve them. Instead, the game gives you a suite of tools and leaves you to figure out how to use them to overcome what's in front of you. It leads to moments where you feel like you've outsmarted the creator — an extremely satisfying and hard-to-pull-off design accomplishment. — Sean Trembath Astro Bot PlayStation 5 Almost no one makes 3D run-and-jump video games anymore, but Team Asobi's latest proves that Nintendo isn't the only one who can pull it off. The ingenious level designs flip expectations on your head as your chibi robot rockets across pits with a dog-slash-rocket pack, or shrinks to the size of an ant to view the world through a microscope. It's also a love letter to the history of PlayStation, with hundreds of Funko Pop-like representations of past characters. While it makes me want more actual follow-ups to Ape Escape or Jumping Flash , Astro Bot — this year's game of the year at the Game Awards — is a breath of fresh air. — Jonathan Ore Balatro Switch, PlayStation 5, PC, Mobile Balatro , a solitaire-like game with poker elements, appears deceptively simple at first: create poker hands out of a selection of cards to score points in the form of chips with increasingly large blinds. The genius of Canadian indie designer LocalThunk's game comes in the hundreds of modifiers that can inflate and multiply your score, as special versions of playing cards, enchanted tarot cards and joker cards starring a creepy clown named Jimbo enter the fray. Before long, you're concocting multilayered schemes to score millions of points in one round, as real-time hours evaporate into the void. That secret sauce earned Balatro three Game awards, including best debut indie game. — Jonathan Ore Dragon Age: The Veilguard PlayStation 5, Xbox, PC Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the latest game in the series by Edmonton-based Bioware. The last instalment, Dragon Age: Inquisition, came out nearly 10 years ago. (Bioware/Electronic Arts) The veil holding magic and demons at bay is at threat of being torn down. In steps Rook, our unlikely hero, to unite factions and uncover secrets and prevent a penitent Elven god from wreaking havoc on the world. Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a fresh-faced revival for the decades-old franchise beloved by fantasy RPG players everywhere. Where older games were complicated and clunky, Veilguard streamlines and simplifies, while still crafting a compellingly rich cast of characters. With callbacks to old storylines and plenty of opportunities to learn the lore, this game will satisfy long-time fans and total newbs. — Danielle McCreadie Shift - NB 8:14 Gaming with Dani: Game Awards Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PlayStation 5 Classic locations, like Cloud's hometown of Nibelheim, are recreated with an astounding level of detail (and high resolution) in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. (Square-Enix) Final Fantasy VII Rebirth takes on the impossible task of revisiting and recontextualizing the most infamous character death in video game history. Square-Enix's retelling of the seminal 1997 role-playing game stumbles in spots, as it blows up quiet moments into bombastic set pieces more often than needed. But that doesn't get in the way of the dozens of hours you'll spend exploring the vibrant landscapes along the way, while encountering fantastical monsters and charming supporting characters. The new side stories featuring Cloud and his mercenaries will bring a smile to any fan's face. Sometimes it all comes down to saving a neighbour's dog, set to the nostalgia-tugging tunes that won best score and music at the Game Awards. — Jonathan Ore REVIEW Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown revives a classic series with swashbuckling success Metaphor ReFantazio PlayStation 4/5, Xbox, PC Have you ever wanted to become king or queen? Metaphor gives you a window into a fantasy world where anyone can be royalty, as long as you win the people's hearts in a tournament for the ages. This turn-based RPG from the makers of the Persona series reinvents the genre by offering a mix of real-time action and turn-based combat. Where it really shines, though, is the incredible narrative it weaves, sold by its extremely talented voice actors in a heartfelt story with twists and turns aplenty. It's a game you'll be thinking about long after the credits roll — it earned three Game awards, including best narrative and art direction. — Ryan Turford Mouthwashing PC Mouthwashing is a narrative-driven first-person horror game following the dying crew of a shipwrecked space freighter. (Wrong Organ) Mouthwashing is a strange experience, set on an interstellar delivery ship that is weeks away from a crash landing. The game follows the former and current captains and their crew, who are trying to make the best of their doomed voyage. Each sequence shows the crew getting more and more unhinged, as it becomes clear there's no escaping their fate. The gameplay is straightforward: you solve puzzles, escape looming, hallucinatory creatures, and talk to your shipmates. Yet whether it's the giant text shrieking "TAKE RESPONSIBILITY" or the way the story slips between reality and dreams, developer Wrong Organ has figured out how to make sure its style and substance sing together. — Arman Aghbali Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox, PC Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown revives the classic game series with a return to the two-dimensional point of view, and takes design inspiration from games like Metroid and Castlevania. (Ubisoft Montpellier) If you've never played a Prince of Persia game before, here's the gist: some mystery, some crossed swords, some time travel. What makes The Lost Crown special is that it can make you feel invincible — if you respect every parry, every jump and how many health potions you have. A classic platformer role-playing game with a huge map designed for unravelling and revisiting, The Lost Crown throws you into the story and action, with strong voice acting and satisfying combat. Plan to spend hours executing the perfect leaps and spins to get all the hidden secrets. — Anand Ram Review Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a glorious, messy retelling of one of gaming's greatest stories The Rise of the Golden Idol Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox, Mobile (via Netflix) Players must unravel mysteries like murder scenes or prison escapes in The Rise of the Golden Idol. (Color Gray Games/Playstack) The sequel to 2022's The Case of the Golden Idol continues Color Gray Games' reinvention of the classic point-and-click adventure game genre with a series of delicious murder mysteries set in the 1970s. Every level is a snapshot in time that depicts a tense scene, be it the moment a scientist spontaneously bursts into flames or the moment a couple discovers a fresh corpse in the snow. Players will find themselves staring at a scene for half-hours at a time, wondering if they've missed a critical clue. But once the story fully reveals itself, you'll feel like the world's greatest detective. — Jonathan Ore Silent Hill 2 PlayStation 5, PC Konami's psychological horror classic Silent Hill 2 was remade with modern visuals and mechanics in 2024, led by the studio Bloober Team. (Bloober Team/Konami) James Sunderland receives a letter from his wife, Mary, that claims she's waiting for him in a town called Silent Hill. The only problem? Mary died three years ago. Delightfully terrifying, this remake of the 2001 classic uses 3D audio and visual design to limit the player's vision and evoke an overall sense of dread. It balances simple yet effective combat and an array of unique puzzles with options to adjust the difficulty of each separately. For fans of the series, there are many Easter eggs all through the town that gesture toward the original. While the eerie atmosphere of the game almost never let me feel safe, unravelling the mystery and learning more about James and Mary's relationship was enough to pull me back in time, again and again. — Natasha Ramoutar Tactical Breach Wizards PC Tactical Breach Wizards mixes sci-fi, fantasy and quirky humour to form a tactical role-playing game that's earned praise for its accessible take on the genre. (Suspicious Developments) This game puts you in command of a crack spec ops squad — except your crew features a wannabe detective-witch who can chain lightning between enemies and a "necro-medic" who resurrects her allies by shooting them in the head with a revolver. While other tactics games can be unforgiving, Tactical Breach Wizards lets you rewind your turn over and over again until you get something that resembles perfection. It makes you feel like a genius, and the typically English humour of creator Tom Francis shines throughout this surprisingly poignant world-spanning story. — Akshay Kulkarni Thank Goodness You're Here Switch, PlayStation 4/5, PC, MacOS Explore an off-kilter northern English town called Barnsworth in the comedy game Thank Goodness You're Here! (Coal Supper/Panic) Comedy is a tricky subject in video games, as the need for perfect timing is complicated by the player's control potentially throwing everything off. TGYH fixes this by making the entire game a big box of jokes. You play a repairman — who's as tall as a pint glass with a lemon for a head — in the fictional northern English town of Barnsworth helping out residents with odd jobs. Humour varies wildly from dry British wit to absurdist gross-out gags, sort of like a cross between Black Adder and Rocko's Modern Life . Where most games elicit a chuckle at best, TGYH regularly summons raucous belly laughs. It's the funniest video game in years. — Jonathan Ore3 lucky coins 。

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan's defense of the national championship has fallen woefully short. The Wolverines started the season ranked No. 9 in the AP Top 25, making them the third college football team since 1991 to be ranked worse than seventh in the preseason poll after winning a national title. Michigan (6-5, 4-4 Big Ten) failed to meet those modest expectations, barely becoming eligible to play in a bowl and putting the program in danger of losing six or seven games for the first time since the Brady Hoke era ended a decade ago. The Wolverines potentially can ease some of the pain with a win against rival and second-ranked Ohio State (10-1, 7-1, No. 2 CFP) on Saturday in the Horseshoe, but that would be a stunning upset. Ohio State is a 21 1/2-point favorite, according to the BetMGM Sportsbook, and that marks just the third time this century that there has been a spread of at least 20 1/2 points in what is known as "The Game." Michigan coach Sherrone Moore doesn't sound like someone who is motivating players with an underdog mentality. "I don't think none of that matters in this game," Moore said Monday. "It doesn't matter the records. It doesn't matter anything. The spread, that doesn't matter." How did Michigan end up with a relative mess of a season on the field, coming off its first national title since 1997? Winning it all with a coach and star player contemplating being in the NFL for the 2024 season seemed to have unintended consequences for the current squad. The Wolverines closed the College Football Playoff with a win over Washington on Jan. 8; several days later quarterback J.J. McCarthy announced he was skipping his senior season; and it took more than another week for Jim Harbaugh to bolt to coach the Los Angeles Chargers. In the meantime, most quality quarterbacks wanting to transfer had already enrolled at other schools and Moore was left with lackluster options. Davis Warren beat out Alex Orji to be the team's quarterback for the opener and later lost the job to Orji only to get it back again. No matter who was under center, however, would've likely struggled this year behind an offensive line that sent six players to the NFL. The Wolverines lost one of their top players on defense, safety Rod Moore, to a season-ending injury last spring and another one, preseason All-America cornerback Will Johnson, hasn't played in more than a month because of an injury. The Buckeyes are not planning to show any mercy after losing three straight in the series. "We're going to attack them," Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer said. "We know they're going to come in here swinging, too, and they've still got a good team even though the record doesn't indicate it. This game, it never matters what the records are." While a win would not suddenly make the Wolverines' season a success, it could help Moore build some momentum a week after top-rated freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood flipped his commitment from LSU to Michigan. "You come to Michigan to beat Ohio," said defensive back Quinten Johnson, intentionally leaving the word State out when referring to the rival. "That's one of the pillars of the Michigan football program. "It doesn't necessarily change the fact of where we are in the season, but it definitely is one of the defining moments of your career here at Michigan." AP Sports Writer Mitch Stacy in Columbus, Ohio, contributed to this report.
