COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Arkansas defensive end Landon Jackson was carted off the field and taken to a hospital with a neck injury late in the first half of Saturday's game at No. 24 Missouri. Jackson appeared to injure his neck while trying to tackle Missouri running back Jamal Roberts. Medical personnel tended to Jackson for approximately 10 minutes before he was placed on a backboard and driven to a waiting ambulance. Jackson gave a thumbs-up sign as he was carted off the snow-covered field. Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek said Jackson had movement in his arms and legs but was experiencing pain in his neck. He said Jackson was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Jackson leads the Razorbacks with 9 1/2 tackles for loss and 6 1/2 sacks, and is considered a potential first-round pick in next year's NFL draft. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

If you’re an astute reader of the North Shore News, you’ve maybe seen before the unofficial motto of our newsroom: “Dogs, bears, trees. In that order.” It was the observation of a longtime editorial team member who realized that no matter what stories we thought were most important, our readers would always let us know with their clicks, letters and comments that they’d rather be reading about animals. To that end, we have compiled a list of our favourite North Shore animal stories of 2024. No gulls allowed: Raptors employed to patrol North Shore dump In February, reporter Brent Richter and multimedia reporter Alanna Kelly visited the North Shore Recycling and Waste Centre where, for the last five years, Metro Vancouver has been using trained raptors to scare off seagulls. There, they met Poquito, an eight-year-old Harris’ hawk who is the enforcer around the dump. “Just seeing him, they know that he’s a hawk, and he’s a predator, he’s apex to them,” said his handler. “And he is very good at his job.” Without any kind of deterrent, the transfer station might look like something along the lines of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1952 classic The Birds, with gulls getting in the way of people and machinery, coating the vehicles and visitors with guano, and creating public health and safety risks. But not with Poquito on the job. ‘Magical experience’: Kayaker stunned by orcas in North Vancouver The only thing that might make a Metro Vancouverite more envious than telling them you won the lottery is telling them you had an up-close encounter with whales. Scott Suffron got to do just that in August when, while he was out on Indian Arm in his sea kayak, two killer whales came within three metres of him. Suffron pulled out his phone to record part of the 10-minute encounter and to call his wife. “I’ve never felt more at ease. It was just incredible. And I knew it was a super rare occurrence, so I just tried to stay in the moment and just really enjoy it,” he said, adding that his wife was “so jealous.” Barking sea lions take over West Vancouver bay Decidedly less serene was when a raft of California sea lions took up lodgings on a private float in West Vancouver’s Garrow Bay in the spring and proceeded to bark incessantly for days. “Are they ever noisy,” said one neighbour. “We’ve got all the windows and doors closed, but you can still hear them pretty loud and clear.... They pretty much go all night long.” While some within earshot speculated the non-stop barking may have been an indication of mating behaviour, a Vancouver Aquarium expert informed us that wouldn’t be the case as all of the visiting sea lions were male, here to feed. The massive marine mammals are more common at that time of year on the west side of Vancouver Island, but clearly they were finding plenty of fish to feed on in Howe Sound. As for the reason behind the non-stop barking: They just like to do it. “They’re very gregarious – very vocal all the time and have large personalities, that’s for sure,” she said. ‘Fearless’ dog reunites with owner after surviving 100-foot cliff fall in West Vancouver Few dogs will ever have a tale has harrowing a tale as Freeway, the three-year-old lab-mix that disappeared after falling off a 100-foot cliff at Cypress Mountain in April. As a general rule, North Shore Rescue doesn’t get tasked with going after lost pets but, every once in a while, they make an exception. The volunteers were concerned the dog’s owner or other friends might put themselves in danger trying to get to the bottom of the cliff. When an NSR search manager repelled down to the bottom, he found what appeared to be blood but nothing else. They returned the next morning with a helicopter and found tracks, which led to a day-long scramble by Freeway’s owners, their friends and even perfect strangers trying to chase down and nab the errant mutt all over Cypress Mountain. Her owners managed to corral her into their car the next day. Whale poop in West Van lab sheds light on orcas at risk of extinction Much as we love our southern resident killer whales, they are in a tight spot, with just 74 remaining. Scientists in West Vancouver’s Pacific Science Enterprise Centre are getting their hands dirty in a bid to save them and their northern resident cousins. Researchers have been tailing the endangered species to collected their endangered feces, which contains critical information about their diets as well as DNA samples. The hope is that, by taking action to boost the cetaceans’ food sources while reducing environmental stressors, populations can recover. ‘Chill’ marmot takes up residence in busy North Vancouver neighbourhood In April, we began receiving reports of a marmot moving into a small patch of brush near the corner of East First Street and St. Georges Avenue. A rodent living in a bush wouldn’t normally result in a news story, but marmots ain’t from around these parts. WildsafeBC told us it was likely a yellow-bellied marmot – a species typically found in the Interior. It wasn’t clear if the marmot had been born here or if it had somehow made the trip west. In any event, neighbours dubbed him Morty. “We’ve kind of bonded,” one said. “He’s very, very chilled. He’s very protective over his burrow, which is very cute, but other than that he is very easy going.” North Vancouver comedy show is for the dogs, literally Maybe you’ve heard about Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee . But what about comedians with dogs getting beer? In May, North Point Brewing hosted Big Dog Energy, a comedy show that invited guests to bring their (ideally well-socialized) canines with them. For the most part, dogs who attend the comedy nights get excited to see each other at the beginning and then settle down for a snooze, the organizer told us. Much like hecklers, there is the occasional bark from the audience. “I know, it sounds weird, but it works,” she said. Steve the cat rescued from 90-foot tree in North Vancouver After surviving almost three full days stuck up a 90-foot tree, Steve the cat was rescued thanks to help of a kitty-loving arborist. His owner speculated he might have been scared up the tree by a bear that frequents the Pemberton Heights area. After first finding that District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Service’s tallest ladder couldn’t reach him, his owner hired an arborist who used spurs and a rope to shimmy up to Steve, lured him with treats into a backpack and then lowered him back down to the ground. Steve, clearly stressed, put on a bit of a display, his owner said. “Oh, he was freaking out during the whole time. He was doing a bunch of ninja moves I’ve never seen him do before, standing on two feet. It was pretty interesting,” she said. “The bag finally came down and his nose was poking out.” Four cougars spotted hanging out in Deep Cove backyard Most years, we don’t run any stories about cougars because the big cats are experts at making sure they aren’t seen. So when someone sent us a tip about four of them hanging around together in Deep Cove, we – at first – didn’t believe it. After all, cougars are solitary aren’t they? The Conservation Officer Service confirmed though that they had received numerous reports describing a family unit of three kittens and one adult female cougar. Cougars are more likely to stick near semi urban areas when they have young because of the concentration of prey species such as deer, and racoons, said the COS, “They were so majestic. They’re really amazing animals,” one neighbour said. “The chances of spotting a single cougar is so unlikely. Oh my gosh, to see all four together like this, what are the chances?” Watch: Tired of having his fence bashed down, North Van man builds a ‘bear door’ Living in a wilderburb such as ours inevitably means there’ll be a bear wandering through your yard soon or later. The trouble in Curt Scheewe’s case was that the bears kept taking out his fence. So he engineered a solution: a swinging “bear door” heavy enough to keep his dog in but light enough for a bear to mosey through. Within a few days of its installation, Scheewe’s home security camera captured footage of the bear making his way up to the door and pushing his way through “like it was second nature.” The North Shore Black Bear Society shared the video widely and held Scheewe up as an creative example of how we can better co-exist with bears. Watch: Marine rescue volunteers save young eagle, get surrounded by orcas One close encounter with wildlife in a day is incredible. But two? In February, the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Station 1 crew spotted an eagle floundering in the water off Bowen Island and getting blown out to the Strait of Georgia. The bird immediately took them up on their offer of a rescue. “As soon as I put the boat like within about a foot of him, he, right away, tried to climb on board. He knew what we were there to do,” the unit chief said with a laugh. “We go out to rescue people, normally, right? Not eagles.” On their way back to the dock, the team had to cut their engines and drift as a pod of orcas surrounded them, which they recorded on video. The experience left them in awe. “Everybody was just kind of glowing and beaming,” he said. “You just feel so good about where we are in British Columbia and being members of the West Vancouver community and being able to go out and train and do the things we do. It just felt like such a such a reward.” [email protected] twitter.com/brentrichter brentrichter.bsky.socialFrom challenges to opportunities: The journey of persistence, resilience, and growthPHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid has missed 16 games this season because of left knee injury management, knee swelling, personal reasons and a three-game suspension. But after he misses his 17th contest against the Orlando Magic, the 2023 NBA MVP will start to wade into dangerous territory and be in jeopardy, once again, of being disqualified for regular-season awards. The NBA, in cooperation with the National Basketball Players Association, instituted a 65-game rule last season for awards, hoping it would deter players and teams from leaning on load management to take off games. The seven-time All-Star was disqualified last season after playing in only 39 games. The most games Embiid can play in this season is 65 if he participates in all of the remaining contests starting with Sunday’s game against the Bulls in Chicago. But that is highly unlikely since Embiid is not expected to play on back-to-back nights because of load management. Embiid, who has missed the last six games, is averaging career lows of 19.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.0 block. He’s also registering career lows of 37.9% shooting from the field and 16.7% on 3-pointers. While he’ll remain sidelined, Paul George will return after a one game of load management to face the Magic (16-8) at the Wells Fargo Center. Meanwhile, center Andre Drummond (sprained right ankle) was upgraded to questionable after being scheduled to miss the game. His status change could be tied with reserve center Adem Bona being sidelined with a bruised left knee. The Sixers (5-15) will look to avenge Wednesday’s 106-102 loss to Orlando. ©2024 The Philadelphia Inquirer. Visit inquirer.com . Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

NoneThe New York Giants have not held a lead in a football game since their Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. They suffered their sixth loss in a row on Sunday afternoon, being embarrassed at home by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a 30–7 final score . Tommy DeVito could not recapture his magic from last season as he and the Giants struggled throughout his first start in Week 12. Things are getting ugly for the G-Men. The Giants’ offense is broken Red zone turnovers, fumbles, poor offensive line play, and a lack of explosive plays are plaguing the Giants’ offense. They scored just seven points in this one, a fourth-quarter garbage-time touchdown from RB Devin Singletary . They went just 5-11 on third down and 0-2 on fourth down in the game and mustered just 245 yards of total offense. After cutting Daniel Jones mid-week, the hope was that DeVito could provide a spark as he took over under center. That spark was still missing, however, as DeVito was sacked four times and put up just 189 passing yards with zero touchdowns and an 83.9 passer rating. Stopping the run has been a problem all season The Giants’ run defense ranked 29th in the NFL entering this game, surrendering an average of 147.1 rushing yards per game. The unit was as bad as ever against the Buccaneers, allowing Tampa Bay to rack up 156 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen needs to find a way to stop the bleeding. Head coach Brian Daboll seems to be losing the locker room The Giants’ players are fed up with losing. Several members of the team were vocally frustrated following the game, even calling head coach Brian Daboll into question: “I started getting the ball when it’s 30-0,” Malik Nabers said via SNY . “What do you want me to do? Talk to Dabs about that. Talk to Dabs.” At 2-8, frustration is boiling over for Daboll and his players. The locker room seems to be turning on its head coach, which, if the past is any indicator, will likely lead to a firing later this season. Daboll needs to reunite the locker room if he wants to keep coaching in MetLife Stadium in 2025. Looking ahead to the Giants’ next matchup against the Dallas Cowboys It will be a quick turnaround for Daboll and his squad as they prepare to spoil Turkey Day for Giants fans across America as they travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys on Thursday afternoon. The Cowboys are coming off an impressive win over the Washington Commanders this Sunday and will look to make it two in a row against the lowly Giants.

The dollar has soared since Donald Trump's election win earlier this month, and a stronger US currency can have a big impact on consumers' wallets. The dollar index, which measures the US dollar against a basket of currencies, has surged as much as 5% since Trump's win and is up as much as 8% since October 1, trading at its highest level in two years. The dollar has gained on expectations for to potentially stoke inflation, which would force the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates elevated to counteract higher prices. Higher rates spur greater demand for dollars from overseas investors, who invest them into higher-yielding US assets like Treasurys and other debt securities. Higher interest rates also lower the overall supply of dollars in the system by discouraging borrowing. Here's how a stronger US dollar can impact consumers. Consider a foreign vacation A stronger US dollar ultimately means that your greenbacks have more purchasing power when paying for goods and services priced in other currencies. This is especially felt and dealing with exchange rates. A stronger dollar means that when you convert money into pesos, euros, or yen, you ultimately receive more of the foreign currency than you would under a weak dollar regime. "A stronger dollar may help you feel like a free-spending prince with a hefty traveling budget while on an overseas vacation as the value of your dollar will go a lot further when converted to local currency, allowing you to enjoy upgrades to your lodging, food, entertainment, and excursions," Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research told BI. Get more 'bang for your buck' buying foreign goods You don't even need to leave the country to benefit from a stronger dollar. According to Rob Haworth, senior investment strategist at US Bank Wealth Management, foreign goods bought with a stronger dollar are typically "less costly given the rising purchasing power." It is even possible that a stronger dollar could help lower domestic inflation, at least in the short term. "In the near term, US dollar strength is pressing down on inflation and commodity prices in particular," Haworth told BI. "The stronger US dollar makes dollar-priced commodities more expensive for foreign buyers, hurting demand." And lower demand ultimately means lower prices if supply is steady. The price of a barrel of WTI crude oil is down 13% since it peaked at about $78 in early October. Other commodities like gasoline, copper, and soybeans, all key inputs for various goods, have moved lower since the dollar surge. Foreign companies that export their goods to the US also have room to lower their prices, which could ultimately result in lower costs for consumers. "With a strengthening dollar those countries experiencing a weaker local currency versus the USD will have a competitive advantage exporting to the US. We can buy their products for less than before solely due to the USD appreciation," Arthur Laffer Jr., president at Laffer Tengler Investments, told BI. Stovall echoed those comments, saying consumers should "get more bang for your buck" when purchasing everyday items made overseas. A strong dollar might not be great news for your investment portfolio While a strong US dollar could be a boon for consumers' wallets when traveling abroad or buying foreign goods, it could be detrimental to investment returns. That's especially true for US-based companies that generate revenues overseas. Multinational companies sell their goods or services overseas in the country's local currency and then convert those profits into US dollars when reporting earnings. But if the dollar is strong and the local currency is weak, then they'll ultimately see weaker profits when converting the foreign currency into dollars — and lower profitability will weigh on stock prices. It can be especially painful for US companies that produce their goods in America and then ship them overseas, as they likely have to pay for their input costs with a strong US dollar, sell them overseas in the weaker local currency, and then convert that currency back to dollars. "Because the USD is getting stronger, US exports to those countries will be more expensive on a relative basis than before the currency appreciation of the USD," Laffer Jr. explained. According to Stovall, about 40% of revenues from S&P 500 companies come from overseas operations. "As a result, the higher dollar will likely result in lower profits from overseas operations, depressing the company's overall earnings," Stovall said. Lower profits could negatively impact the economy if the strong dollar move is sustained and economic growth doesn't make up for the shortfall. "In the long run, this could result in an economic slowdown, which may jeopardize one's job at a company with many overseas clients. As a result, the change in the value of the US dollar is typically a double-edged sword, helping your wallet in one way while adversely affecting your portfolio and livelihood in another," Stovall said. While the dollar is higher since the election, it is still well below its 2022 peak of nearly $115 and 2001 peak of about $120. Read the original article on

NoneST counted at least 15 hair salons within 1km on the main stretch of Geylang Road alone, between Lorong 8 and Lorong 30. SINGAPORE - The signboard screams “Hair Studio” in neon lights, and the dimly lit shop has a row of barber chairs and large mirrors. But the twist is how the hair salon charges for its services – $40 for 30 minutes, and more if you want a massage thrown in. Dozens of hair salons have mushroomed all over Geylang in the past few months. The Straits Times counted at least 15 hair salons within 1km on the main stretch of Geylang Road alone, between Lorong 8 and Lorong 30. Across six visits by ST to the area between October and November, suspicions of vice in the establishments were strong. “Hairstylists” who wait outside their salons would offer hair washes and massages to men who walk by. After brief negotiations, men are led to the back of the salons, behind partitions or thin curtains. Some of the units operated during the day like legitimate salons, with stylists and barbers. Dozens of hair salons have mushroomed all over Geylang in the past few months. Some are a front for vice activities. The Straits Times observed a number of these suspicious places over six visits between October and November. An ST reporter visited one of the salons for a hair wash on Nov 25. The reporter was propositioned with additional massage services within two minutes of agreeing to a hair wash for $40. Once inside, a woman grabbed the reporter’s hand and placed it on her bosom. As she guided the reporter to lie down for the hair wash, a few other women started touching his legs and arms, hoping he would pay more for full-body massages. The services of another woman were offered for $40. Even after being repeatedly turned down, the women kept trying. One offered to provide an hour of company in a more private area, whispering in the reporter’s ear in Mandarin that she could do “whatever you like” during that time. She also said she could “look after” him. The salon the reporter patronised also brazenly touts its massage services on social media. In one TikTok video, it advertises a “12-hand massage“, which sees six women simultaneously massaging a male customer from head to toe. In another video, it brags that a customer had tipped staff $250 for a supposed haircut. The man in the video was bald. Employees in front of a beauty spa offering hair salon services, seen in Geylang Road on Nov 29. ST PHOTO: ARIFFIN JAMAR ST visited another hair salon during the day near Lorong 14. The place was empty, except for two women who nodded when asked if they were hairstylists. The reporter asked for a haircut, and was immediately pressured into booking both women for a massage at an “early early discount” of $70. The reporter was shown the back of the salon, where a thin curtain hid a massage bed. The offer was declined. Strict laws Hair salons are not supposed to provide full-body massage services unless explicitly approved to do so by the authorities. They are not classified as a massage establishment under the Massage Establishments Act. Under the same law, massage parlours and spas are governed by a strict licensing regime that adds controls on their operations and hours. Hair salons do not have such restrictions placed on them. The Act was passed in 2017 after police detected a 40 per cent increase in unlicensed massage establishments between 2013 and 2016. Many of these were found to be a front for vice activities. Employees waiting in front of a hair studio in Geylang Road on Nov 19. ST PHOTO: MARK CHEONG Hair salons were deemed to be a lower risk because they did not typically offer full-body massages, and so were exempt from the massage establishment licensing regime. Among other things, the Police Licensing and Regulatory Department, which oversees the issuing of the massage establishment licence, requires that 80 per cent of employees in massage parlours and spas be certified in beauty therapy services. Employees must also wear uniforms and be decently dressed. There are no such requirements for hair salons. When the authorities began clamping down on errant massage parlours and spas, vice operators have in the past pivoted, registering their establishments as beauty salons, which are also exempt from having to obtain a massage establishment licence. ST previously reported about such beauty salons at Orchard Towers that offered sex and little else. The authorities quickly closed the gap. One of the largest operations in 2024 saw 102 investigated for their suspected involvement in vice activities following raids at 55 locations around Singapore, including massage parlours, beauty salons, hotels and residential units. It appears vice operators are now exploiting another gap. Ungoverned sector Mr Simon Lee, founder of the Hair and Cosmetology Association (Singapore), said he is aware that hair salons are popping up all over Geylang, with some operating as a front for vice activities. “These people are clearly just making the front look like a salon, but behind, it’s all hanky-panky,” he added. “We’ve seen a rising number of vice operators swinging to ungoverned sectors like hair salons. We’ve tried giving feedback to the authorities. “Many legitimate salons that used to be in Geylang have already moved out,” he said. He added that none of the new salons, which established themselves in the area over the past year, are among the association’s member base of over 300 salons and hairdressers. “Everyone in the industry knows what’s happening in Geylang and are staying away. If you’re a legitimate salon, you won’t be opening up there,” he said. The police told ST they did not detect any vice activities at hair salons during enforcement operations in 2023. But a spokesman added: “Any errant operator who uses a hair salon as a front for any illegal or unlicensed activities will be subject to enforcement action and dealt with under the relevant laws. “The police take a zero-tolerance approach towards such activities and will take firm action against those who blatantly disregard the law.” The police added that they will continue to partner the community and members of the public on the information submitted and will take appropriate action against any illegal activities detected. Mr Lee hopes the authorities can step in soon, even if it means scrutiny and licensing for all hair salons. “It may be painful for some salons in the short run, but in the long run, it’s good,” he said. “Because right now, our industry is being tarnished by these errant operators and there’s nothing much we can do.” Join ST's WhatsApp Channel and get the latest news and must-reads.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Drake Maye’s arrival in New England coincided with a wholesale reset for the Patriots franchise following the departure of coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Mac Jones this past offseason. In his eight starts since assuming the reins from veteran Jacoby Brissett, the rookie quarterback has provided encouraging examples of what the Patriots’ revamped front office saw in selecting him third overall in the draft last April. While the Patriots enter their bye week with a 3-10 record and just 2-6 with Maye as the starter, both the coaching staff and his teammates feel they have a quarterback they can build around going forward. “I’m just trying to take it one day at a time, one game at a time,” Maye said this week. “I’m trying to learn from negative experiences or negative plays, learn from turnovers, learn from sacks that I take and see if I can get the ball out and do something better. That’s probably the biggest thing. "Hopefully, the work that we’re putting in and the product that we’re putting out can lead to some positive plays and some positive wins down the road.” Maye is coming off his best statistical performance of the season, completing a season best 80% of his passes (24 of 30) for a season-high 238 yards and a touchdown in New England’s 25-24 loss to Indianapolis. He also had a 41-yard run, showing off a running ability that has him averaging 9.1 yards per carry – best among quarterbacks who have played at least nine games. Maye did have one interception off a tipped ball, but showed his best command of offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt’s scheme to date, spreading the ball around to six different players and consistently getting the Patriots into the red zone. The rub is that the Patriots were just 2 of 6 once they got there, including four trips inside the 10-yard line that yielded only one TD. Lackluster play in the red zone has been a hindrance for a unit that ranks 30th in the NFL in scoring touchdowns inside the 20. Maye said it will be one of his main focal points over the final four games. “It’s tough to go out like that,” Maye said. “You can’t win games going four drives in the red zone that end in field goals. We’ve got to focus in on that. I think that’s been an emphasis of improvement for this offense. We know you have to score touchdowns to win in this league.” Though coach Jerod Mayo agrees there is room for improvement for Maye, he also pointed out that the pieces around him need to do a better job supporting him as well. He pointed specifically to the offensive line, singling out rookie left guard Layden Robinson and rookie tackle Caedan Wallace, as well as fellow lineman and 2022 first-round pick Cole Strange, who is working his way back from a knee injury. “You need a guy like Layden Robinson to show what he can do. We need a guy like Cole Strange before the end of the season to see what he can do,” Mayo said. “You can use Caedan in that same bucket. We need to see what the receivers can do and what they’re going to look like going forward, and that’s the hard part for me. You want to win right now, but at the same time, I think it would be a disservice to go to the end of the season and not know exactly what we have.” That’s not lost on Robinson, who wants to play better for his quarterback who he said has grown exponentially as a leader since earning the starting job. “He always has that confidence about him and you know how he takes control of the huddle,” Robinson said. “He gets in there, and he’s like, ‘All right, let’s go to work,’ basically. We rally behind him.” Results aside, Van Pelt said there are no regrets about initially waiting to elevate Maye to the starting job. “Absolutely not. I think we had the plan going into place, and I think that it’s showing now that that was a good decision for us,” Van Pelt said. “Would he be as developed had he started the first game? Maybe. Could’ve gone the other way as well. I stated in the spring, this is a marathon, it’s not a sprint. "This is about a career, franchise quarterback, and we’re trying to develop him in the right way. And I feel like we did it that way.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
