Teen actor Hudson Meek, who appeared in ‘Baby Driver,’ dies after falling from moving vehicleWake Forest keeps trying new things early in the season, even if not all of the adjustments are by design. The Demon Deacons will try to stick to the script when Detroit Mercy visits for Saturday's game in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Demon Deacons (5-1) will be at home for the final time prior to three consecutive road games. Detroit Mercy (3-2) already has two more victories than all of last season. After a couple of narrow wins and a loss at Xavier, Wake Forest had a smoother time earlier this week in defeating visiting Western Carolina 82-69 on Tuesday night. Yet these are games when teams have to figure where contributions are going to come from in certain situations. The experimenting took a turn for Wake Forest in the Western Carolina game. Center Efton Reid III had limited minutes because of migraines, so there was a shift in responsibilities. Normal backcourt players Cameron Hildreth and Juke Harris logged time at the power forward slot. "That's just part of it," coach Steve Forbes said. "They did a good job adjusting. We ran a lot of stuff and there are several guys learning different positions. ... I give credit to those guys for doing the best job that they could do on the fly and adjusting to the play calls that we ran and the stuff that we changed." Wake Forest could excel if both Parker Friedrichsen and Davin Cosby can be consistent 3-point threats. Friedrichsen slumped with shooting in the first few games of the season and was replaced in the starting lineup by Cosby. In Tuesday's game, Friedrichsen drained four 3-pointers, while Cosby hit two. "It was really good to see Parker and Davin both make shots together," Forbes said. Not everything was solved for the Demon Deacons. Western Carolina collected 12 offensive rebounds, and that took some of the shine off Wake Forest's defensive efforts. "We can't be a good defensive team, or a really good defensive team, unless we rebound the ball," Forbes said. "It's demoralizing to your defense to get stops and then not get the ball." In Detroit Mercy's 70-59 win at Ball State on Wednesday, Orlando Lovejoy tallied 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists. "We got the ball to the shooters and playmakers," first-year Titans coach Mark Montgomery said. "You could tell by the guys' body language that we were going to get a road win. It had been a long time coming." On Saturday, the Titans will look for their second road victory since February 2023. The outcome at Ball State seemed significant to Montgomery. "We had to get over the hump," he said. "Our guys grinded it out." --Field Level Media

Gaetz withdraws as Trump's pick for attorney general, averting confirmation battle in the SenateTHE Ramu NiCo Project has been a mine that has been an avenue for young Papua New Guineans to grow, intellectually. The term “mine to grow minds” could be used to describe the beginning of the fundamental knowledge and experience for young Papua New Guineans. The Industrial Training Program for Ramu NiCo has gained countless interest from students not only from the project impacted communities but also on other parts of Papua New Guinea who applied to gain experience in respective fields of studies during the semester break. Ramu NiCo has been committed in its memorandum of understanding or agreement (MoU or MoA) prioritising its landowners as the first recipient through GDS or industrial training in respective fields in a simple structure (Landowners 1st, next Madang and PNG), and has been keen in maintaining this simple structure for years. This structure has been the backbone of the Nickel and Cobalt mine in Training Programs, Employment Opportunity, Sponsorship and others, while fulfilling the mine’s Social and Corporate Responsibility in making a better conducive environment for everyone to strive and benefit, not only in royalty but also in the growth and well-being of the Project landowners, the host province and country. Ramu NiCo welcomed 19 new industrial training students in November as the second batch from the first four students totaling up to 23 students engaged for the mine’s ongoing industrial training during festive period. The industrial training program focuses on students taking Bachelors Programs relevant to the Nickel and Cobalt mines and refinery’s ongoing operations. Ramu NiCo Human Resources Manager Jeffers Heptol said half of the students from the second batch were female students, thus maintaining Ramu NiCo’s support in gender equality. “Ramu NiCo is proud to contribute to the nation building or PNG through our industrial training programs that is open to any students in Papua New Guinea to apply, with strong emphases on our simple structure of landowners 1st, Madang and PNG,” Mr Heptol said. Ramu NiCo Deputy Human Resources Manager David Sisione said industrial training is vital for everyone to gain firsthand on the job training that would compliment classroom theory. “We want to imprint our working ethics and culture to the students that will one day be the human resources of Papua New Guinea,” Mr Sisione said. “Our aim is to train, mentor and mold the students into the competitive working environment that they will face once after graduation,” he said. The new industrial training students were sent out to Ramu NiCo’s mine and refinery and was attached to the respective departments based in the program studied in the respective universities. This training was scheduled for 8-12 weeks during the Christmas period with specific salary packages until their training ends. The fortunate students that were selected this year were from the University of Papua New Guinea, PNG University of Technology, Divine Word University and the University of Goroka in the fields of Mineral Engineering and Processing, Chemistry & Applied Science, Computer Science, Journalism & International Studies, etc.Shoppers snapping up £30 Ninja leakproof travel mug for less than £4 in Boxing Day saleWILLIMANTIC — “Eurydice,” which reimagines the Orpheus myth, concludes Eastern’s fall theatre season.

High Safety Mark At Hospital That Treated Trump Should Be Minimum For AllNEW YORK (AP) — The leaders of Kamala Harris' presidential campaign insist they simply didn't have enough time to execute a winning strategy against Donald Trump , pointing to “ferocious" political headwinds that were ultimately too much to overcome in the 107-day period after President Joe Biden stepped aside . Harris' leadership team, speaking on the “Pod Save America” podcast that aired on Tuesday, defended strategic decisions over the campaign's closing days, some of which have faced scrutiny in the weeks since Trump's decisive victory . Specifically, they defended Harris' outreach to Republican voters, her unwillingness to distance herself from Biden, her silence on Trump's attacks on her transgender policies and her inability to schedule an interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan. “In a 107-day race, it is very difficult to do all the things you would normally do in a year and a half, two years,” said Harris campaign senior adviser Jen O'Malley Dillon. David Plouffe, another senior adviser, added, “There was a price to be paid for the short campaign." The pointed reflections on Harris' loss came just before she was scheduled to host a conference call with supporters as the party begins a painful process of self-examination. Trump won every swing state and made gains among key voting groups traditionally aligned with Democrats — young voters and voters of color, among them. Harris' team did not question the legitimacy of Trump's victory. “We lost,” O'Malley Dillon said. But none of the Harris' advisers acknowledged any mistakes during the wide-ranging podcast interview hosted by former Democratic operatives. Instead, they indicated that Harris had few options given the compressed timeframe and the broad anti-incumbent headwinds that have challenged elected officials across the world. They also gave Trump's team some credit. They specifically pointed to Trump's closing attack ad, which highlighted Harris' support for taxpayer-funded sex reassignment surgeries for transgender prisoners. “Obviously, it was a very effective ad at the end,” said Harris deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks. “I think that it made her seem out of touch.” The campaign tested several potential response ads but, in the end, decided it was best to avoid a specific rebuttal. “There’s no easy answers to this,” O'Malley Dillon said. Plouffe said he thought the Trump attack ad against “Bidenomics” was even more effective, but he acknowledged that the transgender attacks were not helpful. “She was on tape," he said. "Surgery for trans people who want to transition in prison was part of the Biden-Harris platform in 2020. It was part of what the administration did, right?” And while the campaign has faced lingering questions about its media strategy, Harris' team said she actually wanted to participate in a podcast with Rogan, who is among the world's most popular podcasters and ultimately endorsed Trump. Stephanie Cutter, another Harris senior adviser, said the campaign wasn't able to “find a date” to make it work. “We had discussions with Joe Rogan’s team. They were great. They wanted us to come on. We wanted to come on,” she said. “Will she do it sometime in the future? Maybe. Who knows. But it didn’t ultimately impact the outcome one way or the other.” Plouffe noted that the campaign offered to do the Rogan podcast on the road in Austin, Texas. Trump ultimately did his interview with Rogan in the podcaster's studio. Harris' campaign brass also defended her decision to court moderate Republicans in the campaign's closing days. The decision has drawn ire from some progressives, who believe Harris should have worked harder to turn out more traditional Democratic voters. “This political environment sucked, OK? We were dealing with ferocious headwinds,” Plouffe said. “So we had a complicated puzzle to put together here in terms of the voters.” He acknowledged some “drift” toward Trump among non-college-educated voters, particularly voters of color, which made Harris' outreach to moderate voters even more important. “Yes, of course you have to maximize your turnout and your vote share amongst liberal voters if you’re a Democrat. That was a huge focus,” he said. He added, “You’ve got to couple that with dominating in the middle. Not just winning it a little. We have to dominate the moderate vote."
