Broncos hope to utilize 2021 formula of slowing down Bengals QB Joe Burrow and this time get a win

49ers QB Brock Purdy resumes throwing but status for this week remains unknownSAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro was fully aware of and actively participated in a coup plot to remain in office after his defeat in the 2022 election , according to a Federal Police report unsealed Tuesday. Federal Police last Thursday formally accused Bolsonaro and 36 other people of attempting a coup. They sent their 884-page report to the Supreme Court, which lifted the seal. “The evidence collected throughout the investigation shows unequivocally that then-President Jair Messias Bolsonaro planned, acted and was directly and effectively aware of the actions of the criminal organization aiming to launch a coup d’etat and eliminate the democratic rule of law, which did not take place due to reasons unrelated to his desire,” the document said. At another point, it says: “Bolsonaro had full awareness and active participation.” Bolsonaro, who had repeatedly alleged without evidence that the country's electronic voting system was prone to fraud, called a meeting in December 2022, during which he presented a draft decree to the commanders of the three divisions of the armed forces, according to the police report, signed by four investigators. The decree would have launched an investigation into suspicions of fraud and crimes related to the October 2022 vote, and suspended the powers of the nation's electoral court. The navy’s commander stood ready to comply, but those from the army and air force objected to any plan that prevented Lula’s inauguration, the report said. Those refusals are why the plan did not go ahead, according to witnesses who spoke to investigators. Bolsonaro never signed the decree to set the final stage of the alleged plan into action. Bolsonaro has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing or awareness of any plot to keep him in power or oust his leftist rival and successor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. “No one is going to do a coup with a reserve general and half a dozen other officers. What is being said is absurd. For my part, there has never been any discussion of a coup,” Bolsonaro told journalists in Brazil’s capital Brasilia on Monday. “If someone came to discuss a coup with me, I’d say, that’s fine, but the day after, how does the world view us?” he added. “The word ‘coup’ has never been in my dictionary.” The top court has passed the report on to Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet. He will decide whether to formally charge Bolsonaro and put him on trial, or toss the investigation. Ahead of the 2022 election, Bolsonaro repeatedly alleged that the election system, which does not use paper ballots, could be tampered with. The top electoral court later ruled that he had abused his power to cast unfounded doubt on the voting system, and ruled him ineligible for office until 2030 . Still, he has maintained that he will stand as a candidate in the 2026 race. Since Bolsonaro left office, he has been targeted by several investigations, all of which he has chalked up to political persecution. Federal Police have accused him of smuggling diamond jewelry into Brazil without properly declaring them and directing a subordinate to falsify his and others’ COVID-19 vaccination statuses . Authorities are also investigating whether he incited the Jan. 8, 2022 riot in which his followers ransacked the Supreme Court and presidential palace in Brasilia, seeking to prompt intervention by the army that would oust Lula from power. Bolsonaro had left for the United States days before Lula’s inauguration on Jan. 1, 2023 and stayed there three months, keeping a low profile. The police report unsealed Tuesday alleges he was seeking to avoid possible imprisonment related to the coup plot, and also await the uprising that took place a week later. ___ Hughes reported from Rio de Janeiro Mauricio Savarese And Eléonore Hughes, The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Shohei Ohtani won his third Most Valuable Player Award and first in the National League, and Aaron Judge earned his second American League honor on Thursday. Ohtani was a unanimous MVP for the third time, receiving all 30 first-place votes and 420 points in voting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor was second with 263 points and Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte third with 229. Judge was a unanimous pick for the first time. Kansas City shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. got all 30 second-place votes for 270 points, and Yankees outfielder Juan Soto was third with 21 third-place votes and 229 points. Ohtani was unanimously voted the AL MVP in 2021 and 2023 as a two-way star for the Los Angeles Angels and finished second to Judge in 2022 voting . He didn’t pitch in 2024 following elbow surgery and signed a record $700 million, 10-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers last December. Ohtani joined Frank Robinson for Cincinnati in 1961 and Baltimore in 1966 as the only players to win the MVP award in both leagues. He was the first player to twice become an unanimous MVP. He had combined with Atlanta outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. in 2023 for the first year both MVPs were unanimous. Ohtani hit .310, stole 59 bases and led the NL with 54 homers and 130 RBIs exclusively as a designated hitter, becoming the first player with 50 or more homers and 50 or more stolen bases in a season. He helped the Dodgers to the World Series title , playing the final three games with a torn labrum in his left shoulder . “The ultimate goal from the beginning was to win a World Series, which we are able to accomplish,” he said through a translator. “The next goal is for me to do it again and so right now I’m in the middle of rehab and working out and getting stronger.” When Ohtani returns to the mound, could he win MVP and the Cy Young Award in the same year? “That would obviously be great, but right now my focus is just to get to get back healthy, come back stronger, get back on the mound and show everybody what I can do,” Ohtani said. Ohtani became the first primary DH to win an MVP in a season that started with the revelation his longtime interpreter and friend, Ippei Mizuhara, had stolen nearly $17 million from the star to fund gambling. Ohtani is the 12th player with three or more MVPs, joining Barry Bonds (seven) and Jimmie Foxx, Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial, Roy Campanella, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Mike Schmidt, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols and Mike Trout (three each). Balloting was conducted before the postseason. Judge led the major leagues with 58 homers, 144 RBIs and 133 walks while hitting .322. Witt topped the big leagues with a .332 average, hitting 32 homers with 31 stolen bases and 109 RBIs. Soto batted .288 with 41 homers and 109 RBIs. When Judge won his first MVP award in 2022, he received 28 first-place votes while Ohtani got the other two. Judge had discussed the MVP award with Philadelphia’s Bryce Harper, the NL winner in 2015 and ’21. “I was telling him, `Man, I’m going to try to catch up to you with these MVPs here, man,’” Judge recalled. “He’d say, hopefully, he could stay a couple ahead of me, which I think he’ll do.” When Judge won his first MVP award in 2022, he received 28 first-place votes while Ohtani got the other two. He is the Yankees' 22nd MVP winner, four more than any other team. Judge was hitting .207 with six homers and 18 RBIs through April, then batted .352 with 52 homers and 126 RBIs in 127 games. “March and April were not my friend this year.” Judge said. “Just keep putting in the work and things are going to change. You can’t mope. You can’t feel sorry for yourself. Especially in New York, nobody’s going to feel sorry for you. So you just got to go out there and put up the numbers?” AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

These rules cast specific due diligence obligations on intermediaries, including social media intermediaries. The rules mandate that intermediaries should not host, store, or publish any information that violates any law in force. This was stated by Jitin Prasada, the Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha. The intermediaries are required to ensure their accountability, which includes their swift action towards the removal of unlawful information categorized under the IT Rules, 2021, or based on grievances received against any information that is harmful to the child or encourages money laundering or gambling. In addition to these measures, the Ministry of Education has issued an advisory for parents and teachers on overcoming the downsides of online gaming. The advisory warns that unrestricted and limitless online gaming can lead to serious gaming addiction, which is considered a gaming disorder. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has also issued an advisory to all private satellite television channels on 'Advertisements on Online Games, Fantasy Sports, etc.', advising all broadcasters to comply with the guidelines issued by the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI). These measures are part of the government's comprehensive approach to tackle the issue of online gaming addiction and its potential harms. To provide a comprehensive and coordinated framework to deal with cybercrimes, the Ministry of Home Affairs has established the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C). The I4C has been instrumental in blocking over 3,000 URLs and 595 apps connected to cybercrimes since its inception in October 2018. In a related development, the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) reported that cybercriminals had fraudulently withdrawn over Rs 10,300 crore from the country since April 1, 2021. However, authorities successfully prevented approximately Rs 1,127 crore from leaving the country. The I4C also reported a significant increase in cybercrime cases, with over 15.56 lakh cases reported in 2023, translating into 129 cybercrime cases reported per lakh population. The government's measures to curb online gaming addiction and cybercrimes have been met with some criticism. Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal criticized the Centre's decision to appoint a fact-checker to track fake news and have them taken down, arguing that the government should not be the one to decide what is fake and what is not.

'Topping out' launches next stage in new State Archives constructionA MAGA ‘Civil War’ on X between Musk and the far right over H-1B visas

(Reuters) – Billionaire Elon Musk has been using his social media platform X to go to bat for President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks and promote his own preferred candidates, advocating for choices he views as change agents who will help remake the U.S. government. In several high-profile cases, however, Musk backed people who either lost out on the roles or withdrew from consideration, suggesting some early limits to the Republican mega donor’s influence even as he has emerged as one of Trump’s most powerful allies. Musk, who has 206 million followers on X, posted or reposted about Trump’s cabinet picks more than 70 times between Nov. 7 and Nov. 20, a Reuters review found. Though the posts represented just a fraction of his more than 2,000 posts during that period, Musk in many cases used them to give attention to Trump’s most controversial choices, including former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard for U.S. intelligence chief and environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr to lead the top U.S. health agency. Musk most enthusiastically rallied support for Matt Gaetz, the former congressman Trump initially tapped to be his attorney general. In the days following Gaetz’s Nov. 13 nomination, Musk posted 37 times about Gaetz or his wife Ginger, mostly in positive terms. That was far more than his posts about Trump’s other appointments. Gaetz backed out of consideration on Nov. 21, saying his candidacy had become a distraction for Trump amid allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug abuse. He has denied wrongdoing. For Trump’s Treasury secretary, Musk pushed for Wall Street financier Howard Lutnick over hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, whom Musk dismissed as “a business-as-usual choice.” Bessent got the job anyway. And in a separate fight over Senate leadership, Musk’s endorsed candidate also came up short. One Trump ally said those misses showed the limitations of Musk’s sway. Musk’s reach on X “doesn’t mean he’s an effective advocate for his positions or chosen cabinet members,” the Trump ally said. “He’s still learning how to operate in politics.” Spokespeople for X and Musk did not respond to Reuters requests for comment for this story. Musk, who owns X and rocket company SpaceX and is chief executive of the electric car company Tesla Inc., poured at least $119 million into getting Trump elected and has been a near-constant fixture at Trump’s Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, since his election victory earlier this month. The two men attended an Ultimate Fighting Championship event in New York and a SpaceX launch in Texas, and Musk traveled with Trump to Washington for his meeting with President Joe Biden. On Saturday, Musk reposted a photo that showed him sitting with Trump, Lutnick and Republican Senator Joni Ernst at Mar-a-Lago, where they were discussing cabinet nominees, according to the caption. “Elon Musk and President Trump are great friends and brilliant leaders working together to Make America Great Again. Elon Musk is a once in a generation business leader and our federal bureaucracy will certainly benefit from his ideas and efficiency,” said Brian Hughes, a spokesperson for the Trump transition team. Musk’s close proximity to Trump has prompted some hand-wringing and complaints from the transition team, who were not accustomed to him being around so much, according to two sources close to Trump staff. Amid increased scrutiny of his unusual role, Musk wrote in a post on X on Nov. 20 that while he had offered his opinion on some candidates, he was not in charge. “Many selections occur without my knowledge and decisions are 100% that of the President,” Musk said. EFFICIENCY AND EMOJIS Musk’s political posts on X far outnumbered those he used to promote his three businesses, the Reuters review found. He frequently mocks liberals and posts about government waste and Trump’s newly created government efficiency panel, which the president-elect tapped Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead. Musk’s typical posts consist either of an emoji or a short response to other posts. “Exactly,” he wrote on Nov. 14, in response to a post noting that Trump’s cabinet picks were “young outsiders” who “skipped the line.” He responded with “Awesome” and a smile emoji on Nov. 13 to a post that said: “They put Tulsi Gabbard on a terror watchlist. Now she’s Director of National Intelligence. The biggest ‘F you’ to the Deep State Swamp.” On Nov. 16, as questions swirled about who Trump would pick for his Treasury secretary, Musk wrote on X that Bessent was “a business-as-usual choice,” while Lutnick would “actually enact change.” Musk also lobbied against Bessent internally, two sources close to Trump said. His efforts fell flat. On Nov. 22, Trump tapped Bessent for the job. Earlier in the month, Musk threw his support behind Republican Senator Rick Scott for Senate majority leader. Trump chose not to weigh in, and Scott ultimately lost to Senator John Thune for the position. One source close to Musk was struck by Musk’s willingness to stick with Trump even after he’s been “shut down a couple of times” by the president-elect. “That’s very rare for a billionaire,” the source said. “In general when they don’t get what they want, they walk away.” The source said Musk was committed to Trump’s government efficiency efforts. “He’s really focused on the goal,” the source said. Another test of Musk’s influence lies ahead. Since the election, he has posted six times in support of Trump loyalist Kash Patel running the FBI. Patel, who served on Trump’s National Security Council during his first term, has promised to go after politicians and journalists perceived to be enemies of Trump. Musk’s X posts make clear that he sees Patel as the best option for change and reform. On Nov. 14, Musk posted a “100%” emoji in response to a clip of Patel saying that he would shut down the FBI’s headquarters on day one of Trump’s new administration and reopen it as a “Deep State Museum,” with the caption “Make him FBI director.”

Could a longevity pill for dogs be the secret to a longer life for humans? Scientists think so READ MORE: Scientists reveal the key to bonding with your dog By ELLYN LAPOINTE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 21:49, 27 December 2024 | Updated: 21:49, 27 December 2024 e-mail View comments An American biotech company is gearing up to release a beef-flavored longevity pill for dogs that could extend their lives by up to one year - and some scientists think similar drugs could do the same for humans. The San Francisco-based firm, Loyal, aims to bring the LOY-002 pill to market in early 2025. This daily medication is designed to slow and reverse metabolic changes associated with aging. More specifically, the pill reduces frailty by suppressing aging-driven increases in insulin, thus reducing the risk of disease , extending health and decreasing the rate of aging. LOY-002 is currently undergoing a companion dog clinical study, and the company is targeting next year for FDA conditional approval. But Loyal isn't the only research group interested in extending the lives of our canine companions. At the Dog Aging Project laboratory at the University of Washington (UW), researchers are testing rapamycin as another canine longevity drug . Rapamycin is commonly used as an immunosuppressant for humans after organ transplant operations, but it has already shown promise as a longevity drug in mice, increasing lifespan and delaying or reversing many age-related disorders. The Dog Aging Project suggests low doses of rapamycin could have the same effect in dogs, specifically by regulating cell growth and metabolism to improve heart and cognitive functions. This study aims to extend dogs' lives by up to three years. Everyone wants more time with their precious pets. But that's not the only thing motivating these scientists. They believe this work could eventually translate into human longevity benefits as well. Researchers are developing new drugs that could extend a dog's life by one to three years. Eventually, they could be used to improve human longevity too 'Finding out how to prevent canine age-related decline is a really strong proxy for doing the same with humans because dogs get similar age-related diseases, and share our environments and habits in ways laboratory mice do not,' Celine Halioua, founder and chief executive of Loyal, told the Guardian . Loyal has raised $125million in funding from companies that have held back from investing in longevity projects because of how long those trials would take. Dog-based trials, however, move faster due to the animals' naturally shorter lifespans. The Dog Aging Project recognizes the link between canine longevity and human longevity, too. 'If we're successful with dogs, it could be a turning point in informing us how to give human populations extra healthy lifespan too,' project co-director and UW biogerontologist Daniel Promislow told the Guardian. 'Our study is light years ahead of anything that's been done on humans or can be done on humans,' he added. 'What we're doing is the equivalent of a 40-year-long study on humans, testing the ability of a drug to increase healthy lifespan.' Promislow and his colleagues believe their research could also have implications for women's health, specifically pre- and post-menopausal women. That's because they split their findings not just by male and female dogs, but also by pre- and post-spaying or surgical sterilization. 'We also have data on what age dogs have been spayed – which could cross over to the variation in age that women have their menopause – and data on why they were spayed, which could cross over to women who have had hysterectomies for medical reasons,' Kate Creevy, co-founder and chief veterinary officer of the project, told the Guardian. Helping dogs live longer, healthier lives benefits human longevity in other ways too. Studies have shown that owning a dog improves human health and reduces risk of death Read More EXCLUSIVE Meet Lily, the Frenchie of the future: Breeders trying to save the French bulldog by weeding out its major health defects have raised first 'innately healthy' dog - with an elongated snout, body and tail! What's more, research suggests simply owning a dog can help people live longer, healthier lives — another reason why finding ways to improve canine longevity could benefit human longevity. A pair of studies published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes suggest that dog ownership is linked to a 21 percent reduction in the risk of death for people with heart disease. Plus, experts note that having a dog encourages an active lifestyle, as our furry friends require regular, supervised exercise and playtime. Research has shown that dogs have a positive impact on our mental health, too, by reducing anxiety, promoting social connection and combatting loneliness. While the early results from the scientists at Loyal and the Dog Aging Project are promising, this growing research field still has a long way to go before the findings can be directly applied to human lives. The Dog Aging Project is still at least five years away from reporting its results. And at this time, researchers cannot test canine longevity drugs on humans, no matter how positive the results are in dogs, Jamie Justice, professor of gerontology and geriatric medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, told the Guardian. 'Because we can't conduct 40-year-long longevity tests on humans, we need a universally agreed biomarker to show the impact of drugs on predictors of health problems that we agree correlate with ageing,' she said. But if scientists can agree on those parameters, testing could begin in humans. In the meantime, these researchers will keep working to extend the life of man's best friend.
