Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:54:17 GMT

Seven-year-old Julia Arnold thought she wanted to be on the cheer squad for the Upper Loudoun Youth Football League: “I started cheer, and then I looked at the boys and said, ‘I’m done with cheer. I want to play football. That looks really fun for me.'”The 2nd grader’s parents Karen and Jeramy Arnold said their daughter has just finished her first season in the league, as the sole girl player.“I get to tackle people all I want and I don’t get into trouble,” Julia said.Julia Arnold playing in the Upper Loudoun Youth Football League.

Stock market today: Wall Street drifts as it counts down to a decision by the Federal Reserve

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:54:17 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are drifting Wednesday as Wall Street waits to hear what will come out of the Federal Reserve’s latest announcement on interest rates.The S&P 500 was 0.2% higher in early trading, coming off its third straight losing month largely because of higher yields in the bond market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 11 points, or less than 0.1%, as of 9:40 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.3% higher.The Fed is wrapping up its latest meeting on interest-rate policy in the afternoon, and the overwhelming expectation is for it to hold its main interest rate steady for the second straight time. It’s already yanked the overnight rate above 5.25% from nearly zero early last year to its highest level since 2001. The big question is whether the Fed will give any hints about how long it will keep the rate high before cutting it to provide financial markets more oxygen.Longer-term Treasury yields have been rising rapidly since the spring and cat...

Nighttime becomes the right time for November football in the Big Ten, like it or not. Bundle up

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:54:17 GMT

Night football historically has been a rarity in the Big Ten after the first Saturday in November. The conference’s billion-dollar-a-year television package will make it a regular thing beginning next week when Michigan State visits Ohio State for a 7:30 p.m. EST game.The rationale for the general prohibition was that the conference’s traditional footprint in the Upper Midwest made November night games a hardship for teams and fans because of the increasing likelihood of inclement weather.Dollar signs have trumped tradition and any pushback that might have come from the schools.“I get all the reasons why, that’s for sure,” Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck said. “I get it: There’s a massive business aspect of that.”Coaches generally said they have no preference about kickoff times and that their teams are tough enough to play through harsh weather conditions. Wisconsin’s Luke Fickell and Nebraska’s Matt Rhule said night games at any point in the season can create raucous ...

How this weekend’s clock change can affect your driving

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:54:17 GMT

You may get an hour of sleep back this weekend when the clocks switch to standard time, but the time change can still affect your sleep habits enough to leave you fatigued and drowsy, which is a big problem as you hit the road.“Anytime we change our body’s kind of natural time clock or circadian rhythm, it messes with us,” Matt Camden, a senior research associate with the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, told WTOP.Camden said that drowsiness is a contributing factor to a large percentage of crashes on American roads. An estimated 10% to 20% of crashes may be related to drowsiness and fatigue, but he said an exact number is “hard to nail down.”The worst times to drive when it comes to drowsiness is 2 to 4 a.m., unsurprisingly, when the natural circadian rhythm in the human body is at its lowest.“Of course, some people have to drive during that time, whether you’re a professional truck driver, or whether you’re working third shift,” Camden commented. “The key ...

Boris Johnson asked scientists if COVID could be killed by hairdryer up nose, ex-aide claims

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:54:17 GMT

LONDON — Boris Johnson asked the U.K.’s most senior scientist and medical professional if it was possible to use a hairdryer to kill coronavirus, his former top aide Dominic Cummings claimed Wednesday.In his written submission to Britain’s ongoing coronavirus inquiry, Cummings — who was sacked by Johnson in 2020 and has made clear his ongoing disdain for his old boss — was highly critical of both Johnson’s management of the COVID pandemic and Britain’s governing systems.In the 115-page document, Cummings said Johnson at one stage “circulated a video of a guy blowing a special hair dryer up his nose ‘to kill COVID’.” The video, which Johnson sent to top advisers and officials via WhatsApp, has since been removed from YouTube.The former adviser said Johnson then asked the U.K. government’s Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance and Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty “what they thought.” Cummings did not detail how th...

‘Existential to who?’ US VP Kamala Harris urges focus on near-term AI risks

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:54:17 GMT

LONDON — U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris urged the international community Wednesday to focus on the “full spectrum” of artificial intelligence risks, and not just far-off existential threats from the emerging tech.Speaking at the U.S. Embassy in London as British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s AI Safety Summit kicked off 50 miles away at Bletchley Park, Harris nodded to the existential risks such as AI being used to create bioweapons and launch cyberattacks that are the focus of Britain’s summit.But she called for a broader definition of AI safety to include existing and near-term threats of the tech. “Let us be clear, there are additional threats that also demand our action. Threats that are currently causing harm, and which to many people also feel existential,” Harris said.“When a woman is threatened by an abusive partner with explicit deepfake photographs, is that not existential for her?,” she asked by way of example. “When a young father is wrongfully imprisoned because ...
