Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield reverses decision to put a time limit on anesthesiaMy love of movie scoundrels has been sorely tested this year. When I was young, I daydreamed of exotic heists, slick con artists and lovable crooks I’d seen on screen. For most of my moviegoing life, I’ve been a sucker for larceny done well. Most of us are, probably. But now it’s late 2024. Mood is wrong. In the real world, in America, it’s scoundrel time all the time. Maybe Charles Dickens was right. In “American Notes for General Circulation” (1842), the English literary superstar chronicled his travels and detected a widespread, peculiarly American “love of ‘smart’ dealing” across the land. In business and in politics, Dickens observed, slavish admiration of the con men among them “gilds over many a swindle and gross breach of trust.” And here we are. It’ll pass, this scoundrel reprieve of mine. In fact it just did. All it took was thinking about the conspicuous, roguish outlier on my best-of-2024 list: “Challengers.” It’s what this year needed and didn’t know it: a tricky story of lying, duplicitous weasels on and off the court. The best films this year showed me things I hadn’t seen, following familiar character dynamics into fresh territory. Some were more visually distinctive than others; all made eloquent cases for how, and where, their stories unfolded. “All We Imagine as Light,” recently at the Gene Siskel Film Center, works like a poem, or a sustained exhalation of breath, in its simply designed narrative of three Mumbai hospital workers. Fluid, subtly political, filmmaker Payal Kapadia’s achievement is very nearly perfect. So is cowriter-director RaMell Ross’ adaptation of the Colson Whitehead novel “The Nickel Boys,” arriving in Chicago-area theaters on Jan. 3, 2025. “Nickel Boys,” the film, loses the “the” in Whitehead’s title but gains an astonishingly realized visual perspective. If Ross never makes another movie, he’ll have an American masterpiece to his credit. The following top 10 movies of 2024 are in alphabetical order. Both a mosaic of urban ebb and flow, and a delicate revelation of character, director and writer Payal Kapadia’s Mumbai story is hypnotic, patient and in its more traditional story progression, a second feature every bit as good as Kapadia’s first, 2021’s “A Night of Knowing Nothing.” Mikey Madison gives one of the year’s funniest, saddest, truest performances as a Brooklyn exotic dancer who takes a shine to the gangly son of a Russian oligarch, and he to her. Their transactional courtship and dizzying Vegas marriage, followed by violently escalating complications, add up to filmmaker Sean Baker’s triumph, capped by an ending full of exquisite mysteries of the human heart. As played by Adrien Brody, the title character is a visionary architect and Hungarian Jewish emigre arriving in America in 1947 after the Holocaust. (That said, the title refers to more than one character.) His patron, and his nemesis, is the Philadelphia blueblood industrialist played by Guy Pearce. Director/co-writer Brady Corbet’s thrillingly ambitious epic, imperfect but loaded with rewarding risks, was shot mostly in widescreen VistaVision. Worth seeing on the biggest screen you can find. Opens in Chicago-area theaters on Jan. 10, 2025. Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor play games with each other, on the tennis court and in beds, while director Luca Guadagnino builds to a match-point climax that can’t possibly work, and doesn’t quite — but I saw the thing twice anyway. In Bucharest, production assistant Angela zigzags around the city interviewing people for her employer’s workplace safety video. If that sounds less than promising, even for a deadpan Romanian slice-of-life tragicomedy, go ahead and make the mistake of skipping this one. llinca Manolache is terrific as Angela. Like “Do Not Expect Too Much,” director Agnieszka Holland’s harrowing slice of recent history was a 2023 release, making it to Chicago in early 2024. Set along the densely forested Poland/Belarus border, this is a model of well-dramatized fiction honoring what refugees have always known: the fully justified, ever-present fear of the unknown. A quiet marvel of a feature debut from writer-director Annie Baker, this is a mother/daughter tale rich in ambiguities and wry humor, set in a lovely, slightly forlorn corner of rural Massachusetts. Julianne Nicholson, never better; Zoe Ziegler as young, hawk-eyed Lacy, equally memorable. I love this year’s nicest surprise. The premise: A teenager’s future 39-year-old self appears to her, magically, via a strong dose of mushrooms. The surprise: Writer-director Megan Park gradually deepens her scenario and sticks a powerfully emotional landing. Wonderful work from Aubrey Plaza, Maisy Stella, Maria Dizzia and everybody, really. From the horrific true story of a Florida reform school and its decades of abuse, neglect and enraging injustice toward its Black residents, novelist Colson Whitehead’s fictionalized novel makes a remarkable jump to the screen thanks to co-writer/director RaMell Ross’s feature debut. Cousins, not as close as they once were, reunite for a Holocaust heritage tour in Poland and their own search for their late grandmother’s childhood home. They’re the rootless Benji (Kieran Culkin) and tightly sprung David (Jesse Eisenberg, who wrote and directed). Small but very sure, this movie’s themes of genocidal trauma and Jewish legacy support the narrative every step of the way. Culkin is marvelous; so is the perpetually undervalued Eisenberg. To the above, I’ll add 10 more runners-up, again in alphabetical order: “Blink Twice,” directed by Zoe Kravitz. “Conclave,” directed by Edward Berger. “Dune: Part Two ,” directed by Denis Villeneuve. “Good One ,” directed by India Donaldson. “Hit Man,” directed by Richard Linklater. “Joker: Folie a Deux,” directed by Todd Phillips. “Nosferatu,” directed by Robert Eggers, opens in Chicago-area theaters on Dec. 25. “The Outrun,” directed by Nora Fingscheidt. “Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat,” directed by Johan Grimonprez. “Tuesday,” directed by Daina O. Pusić. Michael Phillips is a Tribune critic.

( MENAFN - Jordan Times) AMMAN - Chairman of the Independent Election Commission (IEC) Musa Maaytah said on Monday that election Legitimacy depends on transparency, legal adherence, and public confidence in the results, which reinforce citizens' belief in the importance of their votes. Maaytah made these remarks during a meeting organised by the Arab Women Organisation (AWO), in cooperation with the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) and the Jordanian National Commission for Women (JNCW), the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. He stressed the importance of including all segments of society in the political process, underlining that empowering women is a crucial component of achieving democracy, development, and social justice. Maaytah also emphasised that Jordan continues to make significant strides in empowering women, with female representation in the 20th Parliament reaching 27 per cent, demonstrating the country's ongoing commitment to enhancing women's political participation. Secretary-General of the JNCW Maha Ali expressed pride in the increased representation of women in the Jordanian Parliament, which now stands at 19.6 per cent, the highest in the Kingdom's history. She also emphasised that this milestone reflects the Royal vision of supporting women's roles across various sectors. Ali also commended the IEC for its efforts to promote women's participation, particularly through the adoption of the definition of electoral violence against women and the establishment of mechanisms to address it. Director of the "WoMENA" programme at GIZ Annette Funke commended Jordan's progress in promoting gender equality within the electoral process.

Some Atlantic City casino workers call on union boss to resign for opposing a smoking ban ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Workers pushing for an end to smoking in Atlantic City casinos say the main employee union has been won over by tobacco companies seeking allies in the fight against smoking restrictions. Wayne Parry, The Associated Press Dec 2, 2024 3:37 PM Dec 2, 2024 3:50 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message Donna DeCaprio, president of Local 54 of the Unite Here casino workers union, sits at her desk in Atlantic City, N.J. on July 17, 2023. (AP Photo/Wayne Parry) ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Workers pushing for an end to smoking in Atlantic City casinos say the main employee union has been won over by tobacco companies seeking allies in the fight against smoking restrictions. An official of a union involved in the anti-smoking push on Monday called for the head of the Atlantic City casino workers' union, Donna DeCaprio, to resign for failing to protect her members from the dangers of secondhand smoke. DeCaprio is president of Local 54 of the Unite Here union, which opposes a smoking ban on the grounds that so much business would be lost by smokers taking their money elsewhere that it could cause one or more casinos to shut down, costing thousands of workers their jobs. “She should be ashamed of herself,” said Ray Jensen, assistant director of United Auto Workers Region 9, which represents dealers at three Atlantic City casinos and is part of a lawsuit seeking to have the courts force an end to smoking in the gambling halls. “She should hand in her union card.” DeCaprio said her union supports the health and safety of its members, adding improvements to the workplace environment need to be made. “A balance needs to be reached that will both protect worker health and preserve good jobs,” she said. “We are protecting our members against multiple casino closures and job losses. The UAW is eager to sacrifice the entire casino industry and put 25,000 good jobs with benefits at risk.” DeCaprio said between 50% and 72% of all in-person casino revenue in Atlantic City comes from smoking sections, which occupy only 25% of the casino floor. She said her union “and the vast majority of the labor movement” support a proposal that would improve ventilation in casinos and prevent any employee from being assigned to work in a smoking section against their will. Whether to ban smoking is one of the most controversial issues not only in Atlantic City casinos but in other states where workers have expressed concern about secondhand smoke. They are waging similar campaigns in Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Kansas and Virginia. Workers have been pushing for four years to end an exemption in New Jersey’s clean air law that allows smoking inside the nine casinos. They say they or their co-workers are becoming ill with cancer, heart disease and other conditions related to exposure to second-hand smoke. Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, has said he will sign a bill to end casino smoking if it reaches his desk. The casinos, joined by Local 54, oppose that effort, saying it will cost Atlantic City thousands of jobs and lead to decreased tax revenue for state programs for senior citizens and the disabled. On Monday, the workers group that calls itself CEASE (Casino Employees Against Smoking’s Effects) filed an appeal of a court ruling in August that allowed smoking to continue in the nine casinos. The Casino Association of New Jersey declined to comment Monday. Attorney Nancy Erika Smith said as far back as 1993, tobacco companies targeted labor unions in the hospitality industry as potential allies to work against smoking bans in the restaurant and hospitality industries. That effort included the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union, a precursor of the Unite Here union. “HERE and the related AFL-CIO affiliates are critical allies which should be cultivated as supporters of the effort to prevent smoking bans,” a public relations firm wrote in a memo to Philip Morris Companies that was made public during several states' litigation against tobacco companies. The memo said having HERE “as an ally in this effort would be a very powerful voice.” As far back as 2001, HERE was part of a 12-member coalition including labor unions advocating for improved indoor ventilation instead of government-imposed smoking bans, according to another document cited in Monday's appeal. The anti-smoking campaigners cite a 2022 report by Las Vegas-based C3 Gaming, a consulting firm, showing that casinos that went smoke-free "appear to be performing better than their counterparts that continue to allow smoking.” ___ Follow Wayne Parry on X at www.twitter.com/WayneParryAC Wayne Parry, The Associated Press See a typo/mistake?

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette TORONTO — Canada's main stock index rose Thursday, helped by strength in energy and utilities stocks, while U.S. markets moved lower ahead of reports on the labour market on both sides of the border. The S&P/TSX composite index closed up 38.86 points at 25,680.04. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 248.33 points at 44,765.71.

Friday will bring the monthly jobs reports in both the U.S. and Canada, which markets will be eyeing for clues on upcoming interest rate decisions by central banks, said Kevin Headland, co-chief investment strategist at Manulife Investment Management. The U.S. Federal Reserve has several key data reports coming before it makes its own decision on Dec. 18, said Headland, including inflation. Markets are currently leaning toward a quarter-percentage-point cut from the Fed, he said. But “there’s a lot of data for them to digest before the announcement.” The Bank of Canada’s decision is next week, and Headland said markets seem to think there’s a good chance the central bank could cut by an outsized half-percentage point. “In my belief, the bank is trying to front-run the mortgage renewals that are coming due over the next year or so, to just avoid some of the bigger hits to discretionary spending,” said Headland. “There’s no reason for them not to continue rate cuts unless there’s a surprise tomorrow.” Canadian bank earnings continued to roll in on Thursday. CIBC saw its profit rise while its provisions for loan losses dropped. TD also saw its profit rise, though its adjusted earnings were lower as the bank continues to work through the fallout from its anti-money laundering deficiencies. Meanwhile, BMO’s earnings were a miss on analyst expectations but the bank said it expects loan performance to improve in 2025. So far, there haven’t been any major surprises from bank earnings overall, said Headland. Bitcoin continued its meteoric rise, briefly breaching US$100,000 for the first time after U.S. president-elect Donald Trump tapped crypto advocate Paul Atkins to head the Securities and Exchange Commission. “US$100,000 is definitely a psychological threshold,” said Headland. “I guess time will tell whether it can remain at that level,” he added. “If we’re getting downside pressure to risk assets, I would assume that Bitcoin and other companies will be swept up in that negativity.” But for now, the surge is indicative of the broader positive momentum markets have enjoyed since Donald Trump’s election, said Headland. The Canadian dollar traded for 71.24 cents US compared with 71.09 cents US on Wednesday. The January crude oil contract was down 24 cents at US$68.30 per barrel and the January natural gas contract was up four cents at US$3.08 per mmBTU. The February gold contract was down US$27.80 at US$2,648.40 an ounce and the March copper contract was down a penny at US$4.19 a pound. — With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 5, 2024.

Chiapas Gov. Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar said on his social media channels that the findings came as the result of a raid in the city of La Concordia, near Mexico ‘s border with Guatemala . He said four people connected to the case had been arrested with weapons and drugs. The state prosecutor’s office said in a statement that the raid took place in two different properties. The first site had three bodies in three graves and in the second, eight graves with 12 bodies. “It is worth mentioning that for these operations technological tools such as drones and geo-radars were used, in addition to aerial overflight, ground search, field forensics, back-excavation and drills,” it said. Chiapas Prosecutor General Jorge Luis Llaven Abarca said last week that another clandestine grave with charred bodies was found in Emiliano Zapata, neighboring La Concordia, but did not give more details because of the poor state of the bodies for identification. The dispute over drug routes, migrant trafficking and weapons has left more than 10,000 people displaced in recent years, including Mexicans fleeing to Guatemala, according to reports from humanitarian organizations.

With this year drawing to a close and schools shut for holidays, the 48th edition of the Chennai Book Fair, organised by the Booksellers and Publishers Association of South India (BAPASI), saw a steady stream of visitors over the weekend. Over 900 stalls have been set up at the fair. With a melting planet Earth on an ice cream cone in one stall and a cut-out of Charlie Chaplin at another, the book fair was brimming with people browsing through the stock to find their perfect pick. “Considerable awareness has been generated about the book fair’s new schedule, resulting in a significant increase in footfall. Fiction has always been a big draw for the crowds, and we have stocked up on the frequently picked up titles too,” said S. Bavani, owner of Eswar Book Centre. Several stalls are offering discounted books to entice customers. “We have a range of books priced at ₹100, and a special promotion where customers could buy 10 books and get two of them free of charge,” said Swurnambal S, owner of Sakthi Book House. The Tamil Nadu Textbook and Educational Services Corporation was abuzz with about 119 titles of children’s books in Tamil and translated works by Indian authors from across the country. “The children’s set for ages 5-14 is the highlight of the year as it is based on various values a child can relate to,” said Appansamy. M, advisor to the Corporation. Apart from this, stalls by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department and Chennai International Book Fair have also been set up. A stall by the State Prison Department has set up a drop box encouraging people to donate books. The American Center has also set up a booth showcasing educational and exchange opportunities in the United States, offering resources and exclusive programme for students, experts, researchers, and faculty. Patrons can also avail of an American Center discounted membership fee and eLibrary USA orientation. “This year’s fair has seen a welcome increase in family attendance, with many children joining their parents,” said Manikan, a volunteer at the Pure Cinema stall. They have as many as 15 titles that are bestsellers this year. In addition, most people this year are very happy about the resting area available within the book fair. “We come every year, and I have a severe back pain making it difficult to walk around the stalls. The rest area with chairs has been very useful,” said 65-year-old S. Sathiyavani from Avadi.

Iwobi double lifts Fulham to 3-1 victory over BrightonWhen a school is ranked in the Top 25 in the country in Week 13, one would think fans would pack the stadium to watch them play. That wasn't the case on Saturday in one part of Sanford Stadium when the No. 10 Georgia Bulldogs faced the UMass Minutemen. Georgia entered Saturday’s game as a 42.5-point favorite (ESPN BET) with an 8-2 record. Everyone knows the tremendous success the Bulldogs have had since head coach Kirby Smart took over in 2015, claiming two national titles, two SEC championships, and three College Football Playoff appearances. However, it seems some in the student section, particularly from Greek life, may be taking that success for granted. Despite reserved seating, their section was noticeably half-empty, as the rest of the stadium packed in during the first quarter. @UGAAthletics hi stop giving them seats they won’t fill pic.twitter.com/6fMnmuYNm5 Other fans on social media shared their reactions, calling out the students for not showing up. "Typical Greek Life section," one fan said . "That’s embarrassing," another wrote . Give tickets to fans that want to be there." "Lotta people at home that would love to use these seats," added a fan . "Use em or lose em." "Reduce the student capacity for cupcake games by 5k and pass tickets out to kids in Rocksprings and Nellie B that couldn’t dream about affording tickets for a game," another said . "To the people defending the students, this isn’t the first time this has happened," a fan added . "Same thing happened at the Mississippi State game. Just own up to it." "Then give them to someone who will show up," another fan wrote . "Idc when or who it is, if you’re too lazy to show up you shouldn’t get the tickets." © Joshua L. Jones / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Georgia will close out the regular season next Friday against Georgia Tech. Kickoff for that one is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.

How to start investing in cryptocurrency: A guide for beginnersCARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) — Southern Illinois quarterback Michael Lindauer's coming-out party also was a dazzling farewell. The senior graduate assistant, pressed into duty as a player again when injuries left the Salukis in need of a quarterback, made his first career start — on Senior Day, no less — and threw for a school-record seven touchdowns in a 62-0 victory over Murray State on Saturday. “This was incredible,” Lindauer said. “The guys around me — thank the guys. The receivers were making plays, the O-line's blocking. When you get on a roll like that, stuff just starts happening.” The fifth-year senior, a transfer from Cincinnati, completed 20 of 33 passes for 283 yards. Keontez Lewis caught scoring passes of 4 and 64 yards. Bradley Clark had TDs of 35 and 23 yards. Nah’shawn Hezekiah had touchdowns of 19 and 35 yards on his two catches. And Jay Jones caught one pass for 1 yard — also a touchdown. Before the game, Lindauer had attempted 27 career passes. “Now, he's in the record book,” Salukis coach Nick Hill said. “It will be a hard record to beat, seven TDs in one game. ... What he's done ... just being so selfless and coming back and being a player. The team needed it. ... It’s a testament that if you stay committed, do the right things, have a great attitude, you’re going to get rewarded at some point, and he was rewarded in a big way today.” Southern Illinois finished the season 4-8 overall and 2-5 in the Missouri Valley Conference, but “to go out like that, that's a good way to go out,” Hill said. Lindauer was named the MVC offensive player of the week for his performance in his first and last career start. He plans to return in the spring, again as a graduate assistant coach, but this time with a resume to lean on.

Correction: Indigenous Affairs-Native Voting storyHollywood's kingmakers are no longer taking Meghan's phone calls as she and her husband Prince Harry continue to flounder in their attempts to make it big in the entertainment world, according to industry speculation. 'Polo' debuts on Netflix next Tuesday at a crucial moment for the Duke and Duchess' post-working royal careers. Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, produced the five-episode series under their Archewell banner as part of the Sussexes five-year, $100 million deal with the streaming giant, which is set to expire in 2025. Perhaps inspired by the Duke's real life, one of the major plot lines in the series will follow father-son polo players competing against each other. Hollywood rumours are swirling that Netflix executives are underwhelmed with the documentary’s laser focus on the Argentinian player Ignacio 'Nacho' Figueras instead of Harry. It comes amid a desolate year for the Sussexes, with the renegade royals having gone nearly a year without releasing a single book, TV show or podcast. The couple have dealt with high expectations since achieving early success with Netflix's 'Harry & Meghan' documentary, released in December 2022, and the Duke's memoir 'Spare'. Spotify axed the couple’s Archetypes podcast last year, and Harry’s Heart of Invictus documentary never cracked Netflix's top ten. Meghan has yet to release her cooking documentary, which is said to have been finished mid this year. It is expected to be released alongside the first products from her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which has been embroiled in series of trademark setbacks. Speaking to The Times on Sunday, NewsNation entertainment correspondent Paula Froelich cited "rumours" some "power players in Hollywood who were formerly enamoured of the couple will no longer take Meghan’s calls personally". "This is what happens when you haven't actually made money — you fall (down) the totem pole of importance. People in LA roll their eyes at them," Ms Froelich said. She said one silver lining is Harry’s signature Invictus Games Foundation, which will hold its winter edition in Vancouver in February. The Duke helped establish Invictus in 2014 as an Olympic-style international sporting event for injured and wounded service men and women worldwide. Ms Froelich said the Duke knows his popularity is linked to the charity, but more is needed to save the couple's careers. “The only story the world wants to see from them now is if they make nice with their families," she said.
