The West Hancock Eagles’ wrestling season is off to a promising start. Still, everything has been slow to come together after a long football season shortened wrestling preseason and left lingering injuries. The Eagles still won a season-opening dual at West Fork on Dec. 3 and had some strong showings at a weekend tournament in Okoboji. This year’s Eagles roster lost 2024 state qualifiers Kellen Smith, David Smith, Kale Zuehl and Jake Larson. The team returns state competitors Ethan Gayken, Teague Smith (runner-up), and Creighton Kelly (fourth). A lot of younger athletes will have to step up to fill for the open spots, which West Hancock wrestling coach Mark Sanger acknowledged. “We’ve got some guys who are going to do really well - there’s a lot of experience,” Coach Sanger said. “We got some guys that are the opposite of that, that have a lot to learn, and we’ll see what we’re at by the end of the year. But our mindset is just to get better every day and see where we’re at by the end of the year.” Junior Teague Smith, who has been state runner up the last two years, is one of the team’s most experienced wrestlers. He was ranked second in the state, Class 1A at 150 pounds, this preseason. He earned his 100th career win on Dec. 3 at West Fork. “The new guys in the room and new faces - I think that really helps with basically having a team come together, in diversity and stuff like that,” Smith said. Smith said he will enter the season planning to work as hard as he can and learn as much as he can, while taking care of his mental health and staying mentally strong. “Obviously my main goal is to be a state champ with the past two years just falling at the opportunity by one step,” Smith said. The Eagles have had only a few weeks of practices due to the West Hancock football team being in the state playoffs again and playing in the state championship game Nov. 21. West Hancock has been without injured senior Creighton Kelly, who will likely wrestle at 175. Junior Ethan Gayken (132 pounds) has also missed a few duals due to injury. Despite having little practice, the Eagles won some hard-fought matches at West Fork on Dec. 3 and seized the dual win over West Fork, Rockford, and St Ansgar. On Dec. 7, the Eagles took an incomplete lineup to Okoboji, with four of five wrestlers placing, including Hadyen Kelly (fourth at 138), Ashton Fowles (sixth at 144), Briggs Muth (fifth at 126), and Teague Smith (first at 150). In addition to state tournament veterans Gayken, Creighton Kelly, and Smith, the Eagles have a few guys who are aiming to make their debut at the state tournament, including junior Reese Luedtke, wrestling at 215 this year after competing at heavyweight the last two years. “My mindset right now is just be patient, be confident, but not too cocky,” said Luedtke. “It just started off, so you can't be rushing things. Like Coach (Ryan) Johnson always tells the football team: ‘Do the little things and big things will work themselves out.’ So I think about that a lot – being patient will be my main mindset right now.” The West Hancock Eagles are looking to make the state team duals meet, where they have not competed since 2020-2021, although they have come close in recent years, missing a spot in the 2024 meet by only a few points to Lake Mills. Senior Crieghton Kelly, a three-time state qualifier and 2024 fourth-place finisher, has set his sights set on team goals. “I want to qualify as a team down to state duals and win a district title,” Kelly said. The Eagles’ most recent dual was a quadrangular on Dec. 12 at Osage. “It was just a tough situation,” Coach Sanger said. “We're still late in the game and compared to other teams in wrestling - kind of beat up from football still.” Luedtke found success on the mat at Osage, though. “Reese was the bright spot going 3-0,” Sanger said. “That was the only match we won against Forest City,” Sanger said, adding that Luedke was also one of two Eagles to win against Osage. “He secured the win against Newman with a pin at heavyweight,” Sanger said. West Hancock will host two home meets before they go on winter break, including a dual on Dec. 17 and the Al DeLeon tournament on Dec. 21. Luedke said this is one of his favorite competitions. “The Al DeLeon - I’d say it gets me hyped up every year,” Luedtke said. “We haven’t lost for about five years, and I just love that one, ‘cause it's home, and you just want to show off for your friends and everything else.” After winter break, West Hancock will be back at Osage on Jan. 4, then host a partial Top of Iowa Conference dual on Jan. 9. The Eagles will travel to Fort Dodge for a dual at St. Edmond on Jan. 11 and to Nashua for another TIC matchup on Jan. 16. They on will be at Hudson on Jan. 18 for a tournament before they travel to St. Ansgar for the TIC tournament on Jan. 25. Coach Sanger said the team will likely be strongest in tournament settings. “At our duals settings, we’re going to be a little short because we’re going to have some open weights,” said Sanger, “but I think tournaments-wise is where we’re probably the strongest - individual tournaments, I should say.” With an eye towards growth and the postseason, the Eagles are looking to build on those strengths as they pursue personal and team goals. “My goal for this season is, hopefully, as a team to make it down to the team duals,” said Luedtke. “Individually, I hope that I will be able to accomplish my dream to make it down to state as a qualifier, just give it my all this year.” Get local news delivered to your inbox!Patna, Dec 30 (PTI) In an apparent dig at Jan Suraaj Party, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav accused the fledgling outfit floated by former political strategist Prashant Kishor of acting as ‘B team’ of the Nitish Kumar-led ruling alliance in Bihar. In a video message late on Sunday, hours after police used water cannons to disperse students seeking cancellation of a recent BPSC exam, the former deputy CM, in an apparent reference to the IPAC founder and his party, said the protesters were “misled” into marching towards Gandhi Maidan. “This movement was started by students. The nearly two week-long dharna at Gardani Bagh, where I also had gone recently, had caused the government to tremble. At this moment, came some elements acting as the government’s B team,” alleged Yadav, who is now the leader of the opposition. “The protesters were misled into marching towards Gandhi Maidan, despite warnings from the administration against doing so. And, when the time to face lathi charge and water cannons came, those who had offered to lead the protests, chose to run away,” he said. Notably, though Kishor was not at the spot when police took recourse to use of force, he had addressed the protesters earlier on Sunday along with his supporters. This has led to slapping of an FIR against Kishor and Jan Suraaj Party president Manoj Bharti, in addition to several others. The protesters, who were joined earlier on Sunday by Prashant Kishor at Gandhi Maidan, attempted to march towards the chief minister’s residence in the evening, prompting police to take action, Patna District Magistrate Chandrashekhar Singh had said. Yadav promised that his party will use its clout to “politically” back the protesters’ demand for cancellation of the Combined Competitive Exams held on December 13, when five lakh candidates had appeared at more than 900 centres across the state. “But you must not get swayed by empty promises. Stick to your guns. January 4 is still a few days away. There is time enough to bring the government to its knees. It is nonsensical to say the BPSC does not come under the government. Its chairman is an appointee of the chief minister, who also happens to hold the Home portfolio, the department which controls the police,” said Yadav. Notably, the BPSC has decided to hold re-examination for more than 10,000 candidates who were assigned Bapu Pariksha Parisar, an examination centre in the city where hundreds had boycotted the tests alleging that question papers had been “leaked”. The BPSC rubbished the allegation and claimed the test was disrupted as part of a “conspiracy” to get the exam cancelled. PTI NAC ACD This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Many in the meme coin market will always remember the exponential expansion DOGE and SHIB saw in 2021. They drew much interest, mostly via social media, celebrity endorsements, and their community-driven character. Investors look for the next great altcoin to replicate these success stories as the cryptocurrency market grows. Elon Musk's Grok AI suggests that the solution might come via a fresh cryptocurrency called Rexas Finance (RXS) . 2021 DOGE and SHIB's Rally Dogecoin's 2021 began with a price of $0.005. Though initially modest, Dogecoin has become a powerful, committed community. Still, in 2021, its value shot skyrocketing. The turning point occurred in May when well-known figures like Elon Musk's sponsorships rapidly sparked curiosity. Reaching an all-time high of $0.73 by the middle of the year, Dogecoin's price indicated an unheard-of rise of around 14,000%. This remarkable success emphasized how social media buzz and community-driven projects shape token values. Starting in January 2021 at less than $0.0000001, Shiba Inu started particularly on services like Twitter. Shiba Inu's explosive ascent was driven primarily by its meme appeal and great community support. Rising to an all-time high of $0.000088 by May, the coin saw an amazing rise of almost 88,000,000% from its starting value. Social media trends and community involvement drove the frenzy over Shiba Inu, proving the ability of meme coins to create enormous value in a brief period. Rexas Finance (RXS): The Meme Coin to Track Next? Elon's Grok AI claims that a new altcoin called Rexas Finance (RXS) could copy the rallies of Shiba Inu and Dogecoin. At Stage 11 of its presale, Rexas Finance was priced at $0.175. It has already shown strong market interest and sold 380,889,281 tokens, raising $33,281,023. Rising by 483% from its initial presale price of $0.03, the token's quick appreciation suggests notable investor trust in its core value proposition. Rexas Finance distinguishes itself from conventional meme coins by focusing on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. While Shiba Inu and Dogecoin depend on community involvement and buzz, Rexas Finance uses its technology to streamline asset management and investment. By allowing the tokenization of goods, including real estate, art, and commodities, Rexas Finance converts conventional investment choices into easily available and flexible digital assets. Unlike the speculative attraction of other meme coins, this strategy gives the blockchain sector actual value and closes a large market gap. GrokAI’s Prediction for Rexas Finance: A 40,000% Price Surge by 2025 According to Elon's Grok AI estimates, by early 2025, Rexas Finance (RXS) would see a 40,000% price increase. Should this prediction come true, the token might hit $70, among the most amazing crypto success stories ever recorded. This forecast's justification is complex. First, Rexas Finance stands to gain from the increasing need in the blockchain environment for actual asset management solutions. Traditional finance is still reluctant to interact with digital assets completely; hence, new technologies like those presented by Rexas Finance have great potential. Rexas Finance has a special advantage over other tokens since it offers a platform that democratizes investing possibilities and simplifies asset tokenizing. Second, Rexas Finance's future expansion finds a strong basis thanks to its community-driven approach and smart presale operations. Using public presales instead of depending on venture financing has helped the platform build confidence and responsibility among its users. Furthermore, the Certik audit and other quality guarantees Rexas Finance has conducted guarantee high levels of safety and openness, essential in fostering investor confidence. Finally, the case of Rexas Finance goes beyond simple speculation. The technology opens new investing opportunities by allowing the tokenization of actual assets with ease not possible through other techniques. This useful application reflects the causes of the explosive expansion seen with Dogecoin and Shiba Inu: community involvement mixed with creative use cases attracting general attention. Conclusion As the crypto industry develops and welcomes new technology, Rexas Finance, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu might be the next great performer. Rexas Finance is positioned to create history in the next few years with solid foundations, a clear mission, and an involved community.

HOUSTON (AP) — Tyler Herro scored 27 points before being one of six people ejected after a fight in the final minute of the Miami Heat’s 104-100 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night. Herro was thrown to the ground by the Rockets’ Amen Thompson with 35 seconds left and the Heat leading 99-94. Players and coaches from both benches then came onto the court. Both players were thrown out along with Rockets guard Jalen Green, coach Ime Udoka and assistant coach Ben Sullivan. Terry Rozier was also ejected for Miami. Houston led 92-85 after Fred VanVleet’s layup with 8:10 to play, but the Rockets missed their next 11 shots, allowing Miami to tie the game when Herro found Haywood Highsmith for a 3-pointer with 4:47 to play. Herro’s jumper with 1:56 to play put the Heat on top for good. MAGIC 102, NETS 101 ORLANDO, Fla.

Toronto gave up a franchise-worst 155 points in Thursday’s loss at Memphis. Young shot 7 for 13 from 3-point range, singlehandedly making as many shots from distance than the entire Raptors team, who combined to go 7 for 24. Toronto’s Bruce Brown made his season debut after sitting out the first 31 games recovering from right knee surgery. Brown soared for a one-handed dunk for his first points shortly after entering the game in the first quarter. He finished with 12 points in 19 minutes. THUNDER 130, GRIZZLIES 106 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 35 points and Oklahoma City won their 11th straight game, beating short-handed Memphis in a matchup of Western Conference leaders that turned lopsided before halftime. Rookie Ajay Mitchell scored 17 points, Aaron Wiggins contributed 16 and Jalen Williams added 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Thunder (26-5), who opened a five-game lead over second-place Memphis. Gilgeous-Alexander made 14 of 19 shots to go along with seven assists, six rebounds and a team-high four blocks. He sat most of the fourth quarter. Oklahoma City blocked nine shots, including three by center Isaiah Hartenstein. The Thunder led 76-50 at halftime behind 23 points from Gilgeous-Alexander and 12 each from Mitchell and Kenrich Williams, who combined to go 5 for 7 on 3-point shots.

The West Hancock Eagles’ wrestling season is off to a promising start. Still, everything has been slow to come together after a long football season shortened wrestling preseason and left lingering injuries. The Eagles still won a season-opening dual at West Fork on Dec. 3 and had some strong showings at a weekend tournament in Okoboji. This year’s Eagles roster lost 2024 state qualifiers Kellen Smith, David Smith, Kale Zuehl and Jake Larson. The team returns state competitors Ethan Gayken, Teague Smith (runner-up), and Creighton Kelly (fourth). A lot of younger athletes will have to step up to fill for the open spots, which West Hancock wrestling coach Mark Sanger acknowledged. “We’ve got some guys who are going to do really well - there’s a lot of experience,” Coach Sanger said. “We got some guys that are the opposite of that, that have a lot to learn, and we’ll see what we’re at by the end of the year. But our mindset is just to get better every day and see where we’re at by the end of the year.” Junior Teague Smith, who has been state runner up the last two years, is one of the team’s most experienced wrestlers. He was ranked second in the state, Class 1A at 150 pounds, this preseason. He earned his 100th career win on Dec. 3 at West Fork. “The new guys in the room and new faces - I think that really helps with basically having a team come together, in diversity and stuff like that,” Smith said.

AbbVie announced a $200 million deal to acquire Nimble Therapeutics, with additional interim funding and potential development milestone payments. The acquisition includes Nimble’s lead investigational drug for psoriasis, currently in preclinical development, alongside a pipeline of candidates targeting autoimmune diseases. AbbVie will also gain access to Nimble’s proprietary peptide platform, which accelerates the identification of drug candidates. "The addition of Nimble's pipeline to AbbVie's existing pipeline, combined with our deep clinical and translational expertise in immunology, represents an important growth opportunity," said Jonathon Sedgwick, senior vice president and global head of discovery research, AbbVie. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for AbbVie remained ‘bearish’, with message volume at high levels. This cautious stance follows a series of setbacks for AbbVie, including last month’s failure of two mid-stage trials for a schizophrenia drug acquired in its $8.7 billion purchase of Cerevel Therapeutics. AbbVie has been aggressively pursuing M&A deals to diversify its pipeline as sales of its blockbuster drug Humira decline. Just last week, AbbVie finalized a $1.4 billion acquisition of Aliada Therapeutics, targeting an experimental Alzheimer’s treatment in early development. Brokerage firm BofA Securities reinstated coverage of AbbVie on Tuesday with a Neutral rating and a $191 price target, representing a modest 10% upside. The analyst noted AbbVie is a relatively "quiet" stock with durable long-term growth, but added that the "problem" is that this seems discounted in its already above-average valuation. AbbVie’s 60.3x trailing earnings multiple is significantly higher than peers like Amgen (35.09x) and Regeneron (18.34x). Year-to-date, AbbVie shares have gained just 9%, underperforming broader market benchmarks. For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.<

RELATED CONTENT: Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis could make season debut on Monday night vs LA Clippers By KYLE HIGHTOWER AP Sports Writer Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is on track to make his season debut Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers following offseason ankle surgery. The team announced the 7-foot-2 Latvian center has been upgraded to probable for Monday’s game. He had surgery to fix a tear in the tissue that holds the ankle tendons in place. The issue limited him to seven playoff games during the Celtics NBA championship run last season. The original window for his return following surgery was 5-to-6 months. But Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said before the season that they didn’t want to hold to specific timeline because of the uniqueness of the injury. Now it’s looking like a return before Thanksgiving. Porzingis injured his ankle in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks and missed the next two games. He returned for Game 5, contributing five points and one rebound in 16 minutes as the Celtics beat Dallas 106-88 to clinch their record 18th title. Porzingis averaged 20 points and seven rebounds in 57 games for the Celtics last season. Boston is 14-3 this season, but has missed his presence on the inside, with teams routinely outscoring the defending champions in the paint. He signed a $60 million, two-year extension with Boston in the summer of 2023 after the Celtics acquired him in a trade with Washington. The Associated Press contributed to this article
Ukraine relies on military and financial aid from international partners to sustain its military campaign, especially the U.S. and Europe. On Sunday, Donald Trump told NBC's "Meet the Press" that Ukraine will "possibly" receive less military aid once he takes office. After the election of Donald Trump and a Republican sweep of both chambers of Congress, the risk of the United States cutting its funding for Ukraine is a real possibility, stoking concerns among leaders in Europe on what it means for the ongoing conflict. > 24/7 San Diego news stream: Watch NBC 7 free wherever you are Trump has previously expressed he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours and has been vocally critical of funding the war-torn nation alongside hardline Republican congressmen, who almost blocked a critical aid package in April of this year . On Sunday, Trump told NBC's "Meet the Press" that Ukraine will "possibly" receive less military aid once he takes office. But according to experts that spoke to CNBC, there is reason to believe Europe, which is Ukraine's biggest donor, can make up the shortfall if the U.S. withdraws or tightens that funding. Ukraine relies on military and financial aid from international partners to sustain its military campaign, especially the U.S. and Europe. According to the Kiel Institute of Economy's Ukraine Support Tracker , which has been tracking funding to Ukraine since January 2022 up until October 2024, Europe has committed 241 billion euros ($255 billion) in aid and the U.S. has committed 119 billion euros. Out of this, Europe has actually allocated 125 billion euros and the U.S. 88 billion euros, thus far.

As Ukraine's largest donor and neighbor, Europe would face the brunt of costs if U.S. aid runs out and isn't renewed under Trump. In the tracker's latest press update released last week, Christoph Trebesch, the head of the Ukraine Support Tracker, stated: "With the current funding due to end, all eyes are now on the incoming U.S. administration and its willingness to support Ukraine." European leaders have convened several times since the election to bolster support for Ukraine, with many countries doubling up on their commitments. Germany, which is Europe's biggest donor to Ukraine, has repeatedly reiterated its support for Ukraine and pledged further military aid on a surprise visit to Kyiv last week: "Ukraine can rely on Germany," Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz said. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has repeatedly blocked EU funding to Ukraine, offered a different tone last month, stating that Europe would not be able to fill in the gap financially if the U.S. withdraws aid. But according to analysts who spoke to CNBC, Europe can fill the gaps, and has several ways to do so. In its latest update on Dec. 5 , the Ukraine Support Tracker stated that the use of profits from frozen Russian assets, which are "primarily available to European donors," "could help them compensate for the loss of U.S. funds in the future." Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Brussels-based Bruegel think tank, told CNBC that "making up for U.S. financial support for Ukraine would be very easy for the EU," by using instruments such as new common debt, bilateral donations, and seizing the 250 billion euro in frozen Russian assets and distributing them to Ukraine. Nigel Gould-Davis, a senior fellow for Russia and Eurasia at The International Institute for Strategic Studies, stated that seizing and distributing frozen Russian assets would be a "game changer." While the G7's $50 billion loan using interest payments from Russian assets is a small step in this direction, the EU can do more as it has full control over these assets. "At a stroke, if [the G7] had the will to do so, it could provide a huge slice of the aggressor's money and put it to defend Ukraine," Gould-Davis said. The main reason this hasn't been done is due to a fear among certain EU members on the financial consequences, he added. There are also other ways Europe can fill in the gaps. Kirkegaard mentioned the Danish model of financing Ukraine: Instead of sending over Western-made weapons, which are more expensive to produce, countries could directly finance Ukraine's military industrial complex. Even in the case of withdrawal of critical U.S. weaponry, Kirkegaard points out that they can still be purchased: European countries could agree to a trade deal, like China did in 2018, and agree to purchase American-made products, in this case weapons to supply to Ukraine in exchange for a relief on tariffs. It is "an entirely political choice" how much Europe devotes to defend itself and Ukraine, said Gould-Davies. He frames it as a balance of resources versus a balance of resolve — the balance of resources is in Europe's favor, but the balance of resolve is in Russia's: If Europe has the political will to make use of its advantage in resources, Ukraine's defense can greatly be bolstered. Max Bergman, the director of the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studiesn told CNBC that while European countries are likely to increase aid in the case of U.S. withdrawal "it is unclear if Ukraine can survive the gap between the withdrawal of U.S. aid and the ramp up of European defense production." In the case that Europe didn't step up its aid in the case of U.S. withdrawal, Ukraine would lose the war: "The danger is that we see in Kyiv in 2026 what we saw in Kaboul in 2021 — a military collapse, leading to the end of Ukraine and Ukrainian democracy."
