(AP) — The biggest question facing the Baltimore Ravens right now has little to do with Lamar Jackson or even a defense that started the season poorly. It's about a kicking conundrum that has turned into a crisis. Can the Ravens make it to the Super Bowl with Justin Tucker? One of the more surprising subplots of this NFL season has been Tucker's decline from one of the greatest of all time to a week-in, week-out liability. Sunday's loss to Philadelphia might have been the nadir — he missed two field goals and an extra point in a game the Ravens ultimately lost 24-19 . “Points were at a premium in the game. They have been in a few of these games. Sometimes we haven't made the most of our opportunity to score points,” coach John Harbaugh said Monday. "We're racking our brains, talking to Justin, looking at what we're doing. I'm very confident that it's going to get fixed. I believe it will. It has to. “And he's the guy to get it fixed.” Harbaugh has given every indication that he's standing by Tucker, who is in his 13th season and is under contract through 2027. When he's at his best, he's the type of kicker that gives his team a clear advantage in close games, but this season he has missed eight field goals. Sunday showed that against a good defensive team, the Ravens (8-5) can't simply assume their excellent offense will pile up points. There almost certainly will be close games in the weeks to come. Tucker's ability to come through will be tested again, and it's hard for Baltimore to feel too confident at the moment. “When he was hitting, three or four years ago, hitting bombs, we were going 57, 58, 56 pretty regularly," Harbaugh said. “That's tightened up a little bit.” The Ravens continue to do a good job stopping the run. Although Saquon Barkley did eventually surpass the 100-yard mark late in the game, Baltimore held the Eagles to 140 yards on the ground, well below their usual output. Even beyond Tucker's problems, Sunday wasn't a great showing by Baltimore's special teams. Tylan Wallace was shaky returning punts, and the Ravens had to start four drives inside their own 20 and two inside their own 10. “They had great bounces, and they downed right down in there,” Wallace said. "I’m pretty sure we’ll come back and talk about those and see what we can do to avoid those.” The Ravens' defense continued to show signs of improvement, holding Philadelphia to 252 total yards. “I think we’ve just locked in on some things, and we’re playing our deep coverages better, bottom line,” Harbaugh said. "You watch the coverage, you watch the guys’ spacing, positioning, eyes, the communication, the checks that get made, and you just keep chasing doing the right things. It’s not (that we) changed the defense. We’re just playing it a lot better.” Harbaugh was vague on receiver Diontae Johnson's situation. He was active Sunday but didn't play, and he has only one catch in four games since the Ravens acquired him in a trade from Carolina. “I’m going to have to wait just to clarify it,” Harbaugh said. "There’s some moving parts there that we’re going to have to figure out and explore and just see where we’re at. I know that’s not the answer you want, but that’s the best I can do in fairness to everybody right now.” The Ravens were missing pass-rushing ace Kyle Van Noy (hamstring/neck) on Sunday, and WR Rashod Bateman was dealing with knee soreness. Through his first 12 seasons, Tucker made field goals at a 90% clip. That's dropped to 70% this season. He had a 95% success rate from under 50 yards, and that's dipped to 83%. The Ravens have this week off before a Dec. 15 road game against the New York Giants. Then comes a home matchup with Pittsburgh that may determine whether Baltimore has any shot to win the AFC North.

Donald Trump’s resounding election victory marks not only the Obama-Biden era’s end but the beginning of the end of the radical climate agenda. After all, one candidate promised to “ drill, baby, drill ” while the other had called climate change an “existential threat to who we are as a species.” Voters had a clear choice, and they chose accordingly. The climate movement’s future is cloudy at best. The incoming Trump administration is promising government efficiency and accountability and fiscal restraint. No policies are more wasteful with worse results than green policies. Consider the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, which President Biden finally admitted is “the most significant climate-change law ever” — even confessing, “We should have named it what it was.” Where Kamala Harris at the presidential debate trumpeted the $1 trillion investment in the green economy, voters saw the sharp spike in electricity and food prices. Where Harris boasted of investing in electric vehicles, with companies like Stellantis receiving more than $1 billion in federal grants, voters saw that same Stellantis closing plants in Michigan and Arizona. And when Americans were told there actually isn’t an electric-vehicle mandate even as the Biden-Harris administration implemented mandates forcing manufacturers to transition to electric, voters saw through the phony doublespeak. Democrats and their climate-change agenda were both overwhelming rejected by the voters, and as perennial political forces, they need new messages and messengers. The question is: Which way do they go? One direction is the Josh Shapiro way. Once on the short list for Harris’ vice-presidential pick, the Pennsylvania governor has moderated considerably, especially on energy. Keystone State workers felt particularly targeted by the Biden administration’s war on energy with punitive measures on coal and a nonsensical “pause” on natural-gas exports. Shapiro walked the line well, neither caving completely and alienating Pennsylvania’s half-million energy workers nor surrendering the climate agenda enough to anger the wealthy white liberals in Philadelphia suburbs. A question that’ll forever linger in the minds of political pundits and pollsters, as well as Democrat operatives: What if Harris had picked Shapiro? Would he have prevented the blue wall from its shocking red turn? Would he have put Pennsylvania’s 19 electoral votes in Harris’ corner and propelled her to victory? Is this more moderate approach the green agenda’s future, with the Democratic Party needing to connect with voters outside the coasts and cities? The other direction is the Gavin Newsom way. Once on the short list for replacing Biden at the top of the ticket, the California governor has doubled down on the politics of climate change. As Harris boasted of the nation’s record oil production in September, Newsom signed legislation further restricting it in California. As Harris flip-flopped on fracking in October, Newsom’s statewide fracking ban went into effect. Even after the election with all the data and exit polls showing a very clear national sentiment, Newsom vowed to “Trump proof” California, offering the same tax credits on EVs at the state level if (and when) Trump eliminates the federal ones ( except for on Teslas ). Despite California being the state with the most debt , the second-highest electricity rates, highest gas prices, most restrictive green mandates and the greatest population exodus, Newsom is not moderating in the slightest. Did the green agenda, and the Democratic Party, suffer from a lack of uncompromising fervor? Those are very different paths, and again, voters will have a choice. But the data are very clear. The American people do not care about the green agenda. In Gallup’s pre-election polling, a full 26% of those surveyed ranked climate change as “not at all important,” with 50% giving it little overall importance. The only issue that polled worse: “transgender rights.” Given the space both topics get in the news and liberal discourse, one would understandably think they’re national priorities. It turns out voters are more concerned about the real rise in the price of eggs than a hypothetical rise in sea level. This surprises no one who lives in the real world. As a political issue, climate change is going nowhere. Whether advocates moderate like Shapiro or double down like Newsom, one thing is certain: Starting in January, the days of federal subsidies and mandates are over. As Trump’s energy policies take shape, coupled with the lack of federal support for green initiatives, climate hysteria may have run its course. That is great for America and the world.

Twitter: @DanielTurnerPTFThe year just past has seen incredible leaps in humanoid robotics , and all signs point to a more exciting 2025. The race among tech titans is intense as they strive to create the pinnacle of these ingenious human-like machines. A standout development, Boston Dynamics has launched its new all-electric Atlas model, retiring the well-known hydraulic counterpart. This innovation is seen as a pivotal step towards the commercialization of humanoid robots. The updated version moves in extraordinary ways, hinting at the future’s possibilities where robots perform tasks beyond human physical limitations. For example, these robots might twist their torsos and legs in different directions for optimal efficiency, showcasing their unique abilities and setting companies apart in the competitive market. Chinese company Unitree catches attention with its affordable, compact humanoid robot, the G1, which is less than three feet tall when folded. Unitree differentiates itself with cost-effective two-legged and four-legged robotic solutions. Meanwhile, 1X’s humanoid, NIO, positions itself as a friendly home assistant, aiming for trust and companionship in domestic settings. A key challenge remains robot autonomy . Companies are exploring ways for robots to independently learn tasks, whether through mimicry or advanced programming. Tesla’s Optimus, although showcased at events, operates autonomously only under controlled conditions. This highlights the contrast between publicly demonstrated skills and behind-the-scenes capabilities. As we step into 2025, expect to see more industry alliances, like Boston Dynamics’ partnership with Toyota Research Institute. These collaborations could lead to the next breakthrough in humanoid robotics, blending self-driving car technologies with robotic innovation. The future is bright for humanoid robots! Breakthroughs in Humanoid Robotics: What to Expect by 2025 The field of humanoid robotics is on the brink of transformative advancements, with recent developments pointing to significant innovations by 2025. As technology giants race to lead the market, developments such as Boston Dynamics’ launch of its all-electric Atlas model mark a pivotal shift towards the commercial availability of humanoid robots. Electric-powered humanoids like Atlas now exhibit movements once considered impossible, suggesting a future where robots can perform tasks beyond human physical capabilities. These advanced robots can rotate their torsos and limbs independently, maximizing efficiency and showcasing distinct capabilities that empower companies to stand out in this competitive field. Unitree, a notable Chinese firm, has garnered attention with its affordable and compact humanoid robot, the G1. Its economical two-legged and four-legged options position Unitree as a leader in cost-effective robotic solutions. Meanwhile, 1X’s humanoid robot, NIO, is designed as a domestic assistant, embodying trust and companionship necessary for home environments. While the progress is impressive, robot autonomy remains a major hurdle. The quest for robotic independence involves enabling robots to learn tasks autonomously, whether this is through imitation or sophisticated programming techniques. Tesla’s Optimus, for instance, operates autonomously only in controlled environments, underscoring the disparity between public demonstrations and functional reality. Expect to see burgeoning partnerships in the industry that could accelerate technological breakthroughs. For example, collaborations like that of Boston Dynamics with the Toyota Research Institute are promising. These partnerships may integrate self-driving car technology with robotic advancements, potentially creating a new epoch in humanoid robotics. As we journey into 2025, the humanoid robotics sector is set for exciting evolution, continuously redefining possibilities and expectations for robotics in everyday life. Stay tuned to see how these innovations will shape our future. For more information on leading advancements in robotics, visit Boston Dynamics and Tesla .

Lamenting the contretemps, International Chess Federation President Arkady Dvorkovich said in a statement Sunday that he'd let World Blitz Championship tournament officials consider allowing “appropriate jeans” with a jacket, and other “elegant minor deviations” from the dress code. He said Carlsen's stand — which culminated in his quitting the tournament Friday — highlighted a need for more discussion “to ensure that our rules and their application reflect the evolving nature of chess as a global and accessible sport.” Carlsen, meanwhile, said in a video posted Sunday on social media that he would play — and wear jeans — in the World Blitz Championship when it begins Monday. “I think the situation was badly mishandled on their side,” the 34-year-old Norwegian grandmaster said. But he added that he loves playing blitz — a fast-paced form of chess — and wanted fans to be able to watch, and that he was encouraged by his discussions with the federation after Friday's showdown. “I think we sort of all want the same thing,” he suggested in the video on his Take Take Take chess app’s YouTube channel. “We want the players to be comfortable, sure, but also relatively presentable.” The events began when Carlsen wore jeans and a sportcoat Friday to the Rapid World Championship, which is separate from but held in conjunction with the blitz event. The chess federation said Friday that longstanding rules prohibit jeans at those tournaments, and players are lodged nearby to make sartorial switch-ups easy if needed. An official fined Carlsen $200 and asked him to change pants, but he refused and wasn't paired for a ninth-round game, the federation said at the time. The organization noted that another grandmaster, Ian Nepomniachtchi, was fined earlier in the day for wearing sports shoes, changed and continued to play. Carlsen has said that he offered to wear something else the next day, but officials were unyielding. He said “it became a bit of a matter of principle,” so he quit the rapid and blitz championships. In the video posted Sunday, he questioned whether he had indeed broken a rule and said changing clothes would have needlessly interrupted his concentration between games. He called the punishment “unbelievably harsh.” “Of course, I could have changed. Obviously, I didn’t want to,” he said, and “I stand by that.”
Full Trailer: "Squid Game" Season 2 - Dark HorizonsATLANTA — Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer who won the presidency in the wake of the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, endured humbling defeat after one tumultuous term and then redefined life after the White House as a global humanitarian, has died. He was 100 years old. In this Nov. 3, 2019, file photo, former President Jimmy Carter teaches Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Ga. The longest-lived American president died on 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, The Carter Center said. Businessman, Navy officer, evangelist, politician, negotiator, author, woodworker, citizen of the world — Carter forged a path that still challenges political assumptions and stands out among the 45 men who reached the nation’s highest office. The 39th president leveraged his ambition with a keen intellect, deep religious faith and prodigious work ethic, conducting diplomatic missions into his 80s and building houses for the poor well into his 90s. “My faith demands — this is not optional — my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can, with whatever I have to try to make a difference,” Carter once said. 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. His no-frills campaign depended on public financing, and his promise not to deceive the American people resonated after Richard Nixon’s disgrace and U.S. defeat in southeast Asia. “If I ever lie to you, if I ever make a misleading statement, don’t vote for me. I would not deserve to be your president,” Carter repeated before narrowly beating Republican incumbent Gerald Ford, who had lost popularity pardoning Nixon. Carter governed amid Cold War pressures, turbulent oil markets and social upheaval over racism, women’s rights and America’s global role. His most acclaimed achievement in office was a Mideast peace deal that he brokered by keeping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at the bargaining table for 13 days in 1978. That Camp David experience inspired the post-presidential center where Carter would establish so much of his legacy. Yet Carter’s electoral coalition splintered under double-digit inflation, gasoline lines and the 444-day hostage crisis in Iran. His bleakest hour came when eight Americans died in a failed hostage rescue in April 1980, helping to ensure his landslide defeat to Republican Ronald Reagan. Carter acknowledged in his 2020 “White House Diary” that he could be “micromanaging” and “excessively autocratic,” complicating dealings with Congress and the federal bureaucracy. He also turned a cold shoulder to Washington’s news media and lobbyists, not fully appreciating their influence on his political fortunes. “It didn’t take us long to realize that the underestimation existed, but by that time we were not able to repair the mistake,” Carter told historians in 1982, suggesting that he had “an inherent incompatibility” with Washington insiders. Carter insisted his overall approach was sound and that he achieved his primary objectives — to “protect our nation’s security and interests peacefully” and “enhance human rights here and abroad” — even if he fell spectacularly short of a second term. Ignominious defeat, though, allowed for renewal. The Carters founded The Carter Center in 1982 as a first-of-its-kind base of operations, asserting themselves as international peacemakers and champions of democracy, public health and human rights. “I was not interested in just building a museum or storing my White House records and memorabilia,” Carter wrote in a memoir published after his 90th birthday. “I wanted a place where we could work.” That work included easing nuclear tensions in North and South Korea, helping to avert a U.S. invasion of Haiti and negotiating cease-fires in Bosnia and Sudan. By 2022, The Carter Center had declared at least 113 elections in Latin America, Asia and Africa to be free or fraudulent. Recently, the center began monitoring U.S. elections as well. Carter’s stubborn self-assuredness and even self-righteousness proved effective once he was unencumbered by the Washington order, sometimes to the point of frustrating his successors. He went “where others are not treading,” he said, to places like Ethiopia, Liberia and North Korea, where he secured the release of an American who had wandered across the border in 2010. “I can say what I like. I can meet whom I want. I can take on projects that please me and reject the ones that don’t,” Carter said. He announced an arms-reduction-for-aid deal with North Korea without clearing the details with Bill Clinton’s White House. He openly criticized President George W. Bush for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He also criticized America’s approach to Israel with his 2006 book “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.” And he repeatedly countered U.S. administrations by insisting North Korea should be included in international affairs, a position that most aligned Carter with Republican President Donald Trump. Among the center’s many public health initiatives, Carter vowed to eradicate the guinea worm parasite during his lifetime, and nearly achieved it: Cases dropped from millions in the 1980s to nearly a handful. With hardhats and hammers, the Carters also built homes with Habitat for Humanity. The Nobel committee’s 2002 Peace Prize cites his “untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.” Carter should have won it alongside Sadat and Begin in 1978, the chairman added. Carter accepted the recognition saying there was more work to be done. “The world is now, in many ways, a more dangerous place,” he said. “The greater ease of travel and communication has not been matched by equal understanding and mutual respect.” ‘An epic American life’ Carter’s globetrotting took him to remote villages where he met little “Jimmy Carters,” so named by admiring parents. But he spent most of his days in the same one-story Plains house — expanded and guarded by Secret Service agents — where they lived before he became governor. He regularly taught Sunday School lessons at Maranatha Baptist Church until his mobility declined and the coronavirus pandemic raged. Those sessions drew visitors from around the world to the small sanctuary where Carter will receive his final send-off after a state funeral at Washington’s National Cathedral. The common assessment that he was a better ex-president than president rankled Carter and his allies. His prolific post-presidency gave him a brand above politics, particularly for Americans too young to witness him in office. But Carter also lived long enough to see biographers and historians reassess his White House years more generously. His record includes the deregulation of key industries, reduction of U.S. dependence on foreign oil, cautious management of the national debt and notable legislation on the environment, education and mental health. He focused on human rights in foreign policy, pressuring dictators to release thousands of political prisoners. He acknowledged America’s historical imperialism, pardoned Vietnam War draft evaders and relinquished control of the Panama Canal. He normalized relations with China. “I am not nominating Jimmy Carter for a place on Mount Rushmore,” Stuart Eizenstat, Carter’s domestic policy director, wrote in a 2018 book. “He was not a great president” but also not the “hapless and weak” caricature voters rejected in 1980, Eizenstat said. Rather, Carter was “good and productive” and “delivered results, many of which were realized only after he left office.” Madeleine Albright, a national security staffer for Carter and Clinton’s secretary of state, wrote in Eizenstat’s forward that Carter was “consequential and successful” and expressed hope that “perceptions will continue to evolve” about his presidency. “Our country was lucky to have him as our leader,” said Albright, who died in 2022. Jonathan Alter, who penned a comprehensive Carter biography published in 2020, said in an interview that Carter should be remembered for “an epic American life” spanning from a humble start in a home with no electricity or indoor plumbing through decades on the world stage across two centuries. “He will likely go down as one of the most misunderstood and underestimated figures in American history,” Alter told The Associated Press.
