Rams receiver DeMarcus Robinson arrested on suspicion of DUI just hours after loss to EaglesBy LISA MASCARO and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Ethics Committee’s long-awaited report on Matt Gaetz documents a trove of salacious allegations , including sex with an underage girl, that tanked the Florida Republican’s bid to lead the Justice Department . Citing text messages, travel receipts, online payments and testimony, the bipartisan committee paints a picture of a lifestyle in which Gaetz and others connected with younger women for drug-fueled parties, events or trips, with the expectation the women would be paid for their participation. The former congressman, who filed a last-minute lawsuit to try to block the report’s release on Monday, slammed the committee’s findings. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and has insisted he never had sex with a minor. And a Justice Department investigation into the allegations ended without any criminal charges filed against him. “Giving funds to someone you are dating — that they didn’t ask for — and that isn’t ‘charged’ for sex is now prostitution?!?” Gaetz wrote in one post on Monday. “There is a reason they did this to me in a Christmas Eve-Eve report and not in a courtroom of any kind where I could present evidence and challenge witnesses.” Here’s a look at some of the committee’s key findings: ‘Sex-for-money arrangements,’ drug-fueled parties and trips The committee found that between 2017 and 2020, Gaetz paid tens of thousands of dollars to women “likely in connection with sexual activity and/or drug use.” He paid the women using through online services such as PayPal, Venmo, and CashApp and with cash or check, the committee said. The committee said it found evidence that Gaetz understood the “transactional nature” of his relationships with the women. The report points to one text exchange in which Gaetz balked at a woman’s request that he send her money, “claiming she only gave him a ‘drive by.’” Women interviewed by the committee said there was a “general expectation of sex,” the report said. One woman who received more than $5,000 from Gaetz between 2018 and 2019 said that “99 percent of the time” that when she hung out with Gaetz “there was sex involved.” However, Gaetz was in a long-term relationship with one of the women he paid, so “some of the payments may have been of a legitimate nature,” the committee said. Text messages obtained by the committee also show that Gaetz would ask the women to bring drugs to their “rendezvous,” the report said. While most of his encounters with the women were in Florida, the committee said Gaetz also traveled “on several occasions” with women whom he paid for sex. The report includes text message exchanges in which Gaetz appears to be inviting various women to events, getaways or parties, and arranging airplane travel and lodging. Gaetz associate Joel Greenberg, who pleaded guilty to sex trafficking charges in 2021, initially connected with women through an online service. In one text with a 20-year-old woman, Greenberg suggested if she has a friend, the four of them could meet up. The woman responded that she usually does “$400 per meet.” Greenberg replied: “He understands the deal,” along with a smiley face emoji. Greenberg asks if they are old enough to drink alcohol, and sent the woman a picture of Gaetz. The woman responded that her friend found him “really cute.” “Well, he’s down here for only for the day, we work hard and play hard,” Greenberg replied. ‘Substantial evidence’ indicates that Gaetz had sex with underage girl, the committee said The report details a party in July 2017 in which Gaetz is accused of having sex with “multiple women, including the 17-year-old, for which they were paid.” The committee pointed to “credible testimony” from the now-woman herself as well as “multiple individuals” who corroborated the allegation. The then-17-year-old — who had just completed her junior year in high school — told the committee that Gaetz paid her $400 in cash that night, “which she understood to be payment for sex,” according to the report. The woman acknowledged that she had taken ecstasy the night of the party, but told the committee that she was “certain” of her sexual encounters with the then-congressman. There’s no evidence that Gaetz knew she was a minor when he had sex with her, the committee said. The woman told the committee she didn’t tell Gaetz she was under 18 at the time and that he didn’t how old she was. Rather, the committee said Gaetz learned she was a minor more than a month after the party. But he stayed in touch with her after that and met up with her for “commercial sex” again less than six months after she turned 18, according to the committee. Gaetz said evidence would ‘exonerate’ him but provided none of it In sum, the committee said it authorized 29 subpoenas for documents and testimony, reviewed nearly 14,000 documents and contacted more than two dozen witnesses. But when the committee subpoenaed Gaetz for his testimony, he failed to comply. “Gaetz pointed to evidence that would ‘exonerate’ him yet failed to produce any such materials,” the committee said. Gaetz “continuously sought to deflect, deter, or mislead the Committee in order to prevent his actions from being exposed.” The report details a months-long process that dragged into a year as it sought information from Gaetz that he decried as “nosey” and a “weaponization” of government against him. In one notable exchange, investigators were seeking information about the expenses for a 2018 get-away with multiple women to the Bahamas. Gaetz ultimately offered up his plane ticket receipt “to” the destination, but declined to share his return “from” the Bahamas. The report said his return on a private plane and other expenses paid by an associate were in violation of House gift rules. In another Gaetz told the committee he would “welcome” the opportunity to respond to written questions. Yet, after it sent a list of 16 questions, Gaetz said publicly he would “no longer” voluntarily cooperate. He called the investigation “frivolous,” adding: “Every investigation into me ends the same way: my exoneration.” The report said that while Gaetz’s obstruction of the investigation does not rise to a criminal violation it is inconsistent with the requirement that all members of Congress “act in a manner that reflects creditably upon the House.” Justice Department didn’t cooperate with the committee The committee began its review of Gaetz in April 2021 and deferred its work in response to a Justice Department request. It renewed its work shortly after Gaetz announced that the Justice Department had ended a sex trafficking investigation without filing any charges against him. The committee sought records from the Justice Department about the probe, but the agency refused, saying it doesn’t disclose information about investigations that don’t result in charges. The committee then subpoenaed the Justice Department, but after a back-and-forth between officials and the committee, the department handed over “publicly reported information about the testimony of a deceased individual,” according to the report.

Now lawmakers want to ban them “To date, DOJ has provided no meaningful evidence or information to the Committee or cited any lawful basis for its responses,” the committee said. Many of the women who the committee spoke to had already given statements to the Justice Department and didn’t want to “relive their experience,” the committee said. “They were particularly concerned with providing additional testimony about a sitting congressman in light of DOJ’s lack of action on their prior testimony,” the report said. The Justice Department, however, never handed over the women’s statements. The agency’s lack of cooperation — along with its request that the committee pause its investigation — significantly delayed the committee’s probe, lawmakers said.Punches came, but the Aggies absorbed each one. In a battle of two men’s basketball programs that have drawn national attention again this year, Utah State was able to come out on top Sunday in Moraga, California. In their first true road game this year, the Aggies returned home for Christmas with a 75-68 victory. “Saint Mary’s is a storied program on the west coast,” USU head coach Jerrod Calhoun said. “... Our plan was to really, really stretch the defense. They play some seven-footers that struggle to move laterally. Karson Templin and Isaac Johnson made some pick-and-pops.” The Aggies (11-1) were also able to bounce back from their first loss of the 2024-25 campaign and on the road. They also played without injured point guard Drake Allen for the first time this season. Despite the challenges, USU put together one of its best outings at the University Credit Union Pavilion in the final non-conference game of the season. “It’s going to be a great Christmas, but we know what is on the horizon,” Calhoun said. “We are going to give them two days off and then get ready for a great San Diego State team.” Going up against a big team that is known for rebounding, the Aggies were challenged to battle the Gaels (10-3) on the boards Sunday. USU won the battle of the glass, 31-27. All nine Aggies that saw time grabbed at least one rebound. “We had to be more physical,” USU forward Karson Templin said. “That’s what we talked about this week in practice. Credit to Saint Mary’s, they are one of the most physical teams in the country. We knew we had to come out and hit them back.” Guard Dexter Akanno came off the bench to lead the Aggies in rebounds with seven. Fellow guards Ian Martinez and Mason Falslev grabbed six and five boards, respectively. “To ourebound this team, we deserved to win the game,” Calhoun said. “When you come into Saint Mary’s, one of the best rebounding teams in America, you get battle tested. When you outrebound them, you deserve to win.” Sharing the ball was also evident in Sunday’s win. Of the 30 made field goals by USU, 23 came with an assist. All nine Aggies that played had at least one dime. Martinez led the way with five, while freshman guard Jordy Barnes had four. “We knew we had to get out and run and spray the ball ahead and try to play at our pace,” Calhoun said. “We did a good job all week passing it and getting ready for this game.” In the setback against UC San Diego, USU was not only outrebounded, but also struggled in the shooting department. Even with unfriendly rims, the Aggies shot 58.8 percent from the field on Sunday, including 35.3 percent from long range. “Our shooting percentage isn’t something that we really look at, as much as our shot selection,” Templin said. “We are going to take good shots within our offense. We cleaned up some of that and took good shots. We trust our guys to make open shots. I thought we did a really good job of shot selection.” USU shot 65.2 percent in the second half. In fact, the Aggies hit nine straight shots after halftime on their way to the largest lead of the game, 58-41, with 12:51 minutes to play. USU actually hit 14 of 15 shots during a 12-minute stretch of the second half. The only thing that prevented from the Aggies completely blowing the game open was five turnovers during that timespan and the Gaels hitting seven 3-pointers in the second half. “When you make shots, you look a lot better,” Calhoun said. “I have to keep referring to UC San Diego, but the number of layups and threes that we missed in that game were really just outrageous. I knew we would make shots tonight. We had two great days of prep.” Four Aggies reached double figures in scoring, but like in the rebounding and assist departments, all nine USU players scored. It seems like all nine took a turn when the Aggies needed points. Aubin Gateretse got USU started with bucket in the paint and then threw down an alley-oop pass from Martinez. Deyton Albury sandwiched four free throws around a trio of 3-pointers from Templin, who checked in five minutes into the game. The Aggies were up 17-7. “We wanted to open up the floor,” Templin said. “We knew their bigs were going to sag off me.” Isaac Johnson ended a 8-0 run by the Gaels with a long jumper. Falslev and Martinez joined the scoring, as did Akanno and Tucker Anderson with 3-pointers. Gateretse had two more dunks, including one just before halftime that had the Aggies in front at the break, 39-27. “We had a good lead at halftime, and we needed to keep it, especially on the road,” Templin said. Once again in the second half Johnson ended a mini-run by Saint Mary’s, this time with a 3-pointer. Falslev then took over, scoring 10 of the next 14 Aggie points. Templin also had a run with two buckets, including one the gave USU its biggest lead of 17 points. The Gaels hit back-to-back 3-pointers, but then it was Barnes who heated up. The freshman had three straight baskets in a 6-0 run by the Aggies. Then it was Martinez who ended a run by the hosts with two quick field goals, including a dunk off a pass from Barnes. “I’m very, very proud of a lot of guys,” Calhoun said. “I thought we got great effort from a lot of individuals. “... I thought Jordy Barnes really calmed things down. Mason (Falslev) was key in the second half. I thought Templin really got things started. Aubin Gateretse was big time. Deyton (Albury) played really well. Jordy and Deyton played well in the first game without Drake (Allen).” Falslev and Martinez combined to score the final seven points for USU. Falslev finished with a team-best 18 points. Templin netted 13, while Martinez added 11 and Gateretse had 10. “Mason (Falslev) and Ian (Martinez) made big shots,” Templin said. “Jordy Barnes made huge plays down the stretch. Aubin (Gateretse), we just had a bunch of guys make big plays. That’s why we came out on top.” The Aggies beat the Gaels in points in the paint, 40-22, bench points, 25-20 and fastbreak points, 12-6. Saint Mary’s did win the second-chance points, 8-2. Calhoun praised Allen for helping from the sidelines in preparation and also other Aggies on the bench, naming Jaxon Smith as an athlete that “was unbelievable in practice the past two days.” “We were really prepared because guys pushed each other in practice,” Calhoun said. After taking a few days off for Christmas, the Aggies must returned focused as big road league games await them. USU will begin with No. 23 San Diego State on Saturday and then play at Nevada.

Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has shed light on his retirement plans, acknowledging that his illustrious fighting career may soon be coming to an end. ‘The Last Stylebender,’ now 35, last competed at UFC 305 in August, where he suffered a fourth-round submission loss to South African middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis. The bout marked Adesanya’s first since losing his title in a shock decision defeat to Sean Strickland a year earlier. Speaking on the FLAGRANT Podcast, Adesanya reflected on his achievements in the sport and hinted at a possible timeline for his retirement. “I’ve said this already, with what I’ve already done in this game, a lot of people don’t even get to the belt, get to the UFC,” he stated. “I’ve done it twice. Still the only two-time UFC middleweight champion.” Related News Adesanya to headline UFC event in Saudi Usman warns young prospect who called out Adesanya UFC: Adesanya ‘insulted’ by Magomedov challenge Adesanya admitted he remains unbooked for a return to the Octagon but has been linked to a potential clash with Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Saudi Arabia next year. While he still has ambitions to achieve more in the sport, he is also realistic about the toll it takes. “You’ve got to break up with fighting before fighting breaks up with you,” Adesanya explained. “When will I? I don’t know... I’m 35 now. I know I’m over the halfway point and I’m definitely a few years away, maybe three years away. But who knows? I know I don’t want to be fighting at 40.” Despite the uncertainty, Adesanya remains proud of his journey, having captured the middleweight belt twice—an accomplishment that cements his legacy as one of the sport’s greats. “If what I’ve already done won’t make me happy, what will? I’m happy but I’m not content,” he said, hinting at a few more goals he wishes to achieve before stepping away from the cage.Addressing illegal immigration, a role for India, and global cooperation

( MENAFN - The Conversation) 20 years have passed since the Aceh tsunami, leaving deep scars on Indonesia, especially for those directly affected. Aceh was also recovering from a three-decade armed conflict between the Free Aceh Movement and the national government Throughout December 2024, The Conversation Indonesia, in collaboration with academics, is publishing a special edition honouring the 20 years of efforts to rebuild Aceh . We hope this series of articles preserves our collective memory while inspiring reflection on the journey of recovery and peace in the land of 'Serambi Makkah.' In the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the Acehnese interpreted the disaster in various ways. Initially, the tsunami was interpreted as a punishment or warning from God. Over time, a collective interpretation of the disaster emerged: “The tsunami as a test from God” . This later narrative was compelling enough to accelerate the post-tsunami recovery process . People in Aceh moved past the tsunami trauma by believing their deceased family members were martyrs who deserved a place in heaven, while those who survived were given the opportunity by Allah to live better lives. The process of forming this narrative is called memory canonisation . It occurs when the government and ruling elites impose a specific interpretation or narrative of a disaster, including what to remember and how to remember it . Memory canonisation is evident in the creation of disaster monuments and commemoration events, including in Aceh. Unfortunately, many survivors feel detached from the monuments because they do not evoke personal memories of the tsunami. Constructing permanent memorials after a disaster is a common trend in a modern society . Many tsunami monuments exist in Aceh, and some have even become tourist destinations. Tsunami monuments can be divided into two categories based on the construction. First , monuments built from tsunami debris that are deliberately maintained, modified, or enhanced with certain elements. Examples include the stranded electric-generator ship (the PLTD Apung), the ship on the top of a house in Lampulo, and the tsunami debris at the Rahmatullah Mosque in Lampuuk. Second , monuments intentionally designed and constructed as new buildings after the tsunami, such as the Aceh Tsunami Museum and the Tsunami Poles erected in over 50 locations across Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar. The establishment of disaster memorials is always political . Disaster monuments represent how governments and elites promote specific interpretations as dominant. This is achieved through specific architectural designs or curated narratives in the monument. However, the memory canonisation process is never final. Once established, each disaster monument becomes a place to form, strengthen, modify, alter, and revise the interpretation of the disaster. In a post-disaster situation, the affected community faces 'push and pull' between remembering and forgetting the disaster . They must let go of trauma to move forward while preserving disaster memories to honour victims and enhance future preparedness. The memory of the disaster resides in the back of their mind, but not constantly remembered in everyday life. It will move to the surface as an active memory only when triggered by certain factors, such as a place, object, or event. This memory closely relates to how the survivors give meaning to the disaster. In everyday life, survivors interact with disaster monuments in various contexts –for instance, as a source of income or a place for leisure . Thus, the meaning of a disaster monument can vary, even becoming completely unrelated to its creators' narratives and original goals. Preliminary findings from my ongoing research in Aceh show that among survivors, tsunami memories are often triggered by specific places associated with their experiences. These include the house where they found safety, the coastal area that swept them away, or the ruins of their homes. I refer to these as“the forgotten memories of the tsunami.” Since many tsunami monuments were erected without involving local residents , they feel barely connected, let alone have a sense of ownership, towards the monuments. For survivors, the established monuments do not trigger their memories of the tsunami. Today, 20 years after the tsunami, we can still meet survivors who offer valuable and insightful stories about starting over, rebuilding their homes and villages, and cultivating cultural awareness about tsunamis while embracing vulnerability. However, once these survivors pass away, future generations will lose access to primary sources of learning about the tsunami. This includes new inhabitants who moved to Aceh after the tsunami and rent houses in coastal areas. They will, therefore, depend on the tsunami memorials around them, though many have been neglected . To address these risks, I recommend two measures. First , we can document the“forgotten tsunami memories” creatively through formats like documentary videos, comics, photos, social media content, or other mediums that highlight stories offering insights into disaster risk reduction and education for younger generations. Second , we must encourage sustainable and meaningful interactions between locals and tsunami monuments. Disaster memorials serve their purpose best - preserving the memory of the disaster and educating younger generations - when they remain relevant to residents' daily activities. Locals' active participation is essential in Aceh, including school visits and involvement in . These measures aim to foster a sense of ownership among residents of the tsunami monuments in their neighbourhoods. They encourage voluntary maintenance of the monuments and make them integral to disaster risk reduction efforts.

Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba AdvertisementPLEASANTON, Calif. , Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 10x Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TXG), a leader in single cell and spatial biology, announced today it had secured a permanent injunction in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against the GeoMx products sold by Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR), which acquired the product line from NanoString Technologies. To minimize the risk of disruption to ongoing research, 10x Genomics requested a carve-out for GeoMx users who installed an instrument prior to the trial in November 2023 . The injunction, which the Court said it will enter in January 2025 , is expected to prohibit Bruker from making, using, selling or offering to sell in the United States its GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler and associated instruments, reagents and services for RNA and protein detection. At the request of 10x Genomics, the injunction will not block ongoing research by researchers who installed a GeoMx instrument prior to November 18, 2023 . Such customers can continue to purchase GeoMx reagents for use with existing GeoMx instruments for purposes of continuing their ongoing research. The Court found that making such an exception for ongoing research strikes a "workable balance between protecting the patentee's rights and protecting the public from the injunction's adverse effects." In addition, the Court affirmed the $31 million damages awarded by the November 2023 jury verdict, as well as supplemental damages and interest that will be added to the total damages when final judgment is entered. "Today's decision helps to safeguard our decade-long investment in innovation and ensures we can continue to develop groundbreaking technologies that help our customers revolutionize science," said Eric Whitaker , Chief Legal Officer at 10x Genomics. "10x exists to fuel scientific progress – not stifle it – and that is why we've done our utmost to ensure this injunction was structured to protect both our intellectual property and existing GeoMx customers' ongoing research." The Court recognized the harm NanoString's infringing conduct caused 10x when it wrote in its ruling, "Having been careful not to license its technology, 10x suffers when it proclaims itself as an innovator in spatial genomics but a competitor is using the same innovative, patented technology." Today's Court decision follows a November 2023 jury verdict that found that NanoString's GeoMx products willfully infringed seven patents exclusively licensed to 10x Genomics by Prognosys. During the trial, the jury heard testimony from the sole inventor of the patents, Illumina co-founder Mark Chee , and NanoString CEO Brad Gray and NanoString CSO Joe Beechem. After hearing all of the evidence, the jury determined that all seven patents had been infringed by NanoString, that each patent was valid, that NanoString willfully infringed those patents and that monetary damages were owed to 10x for the infringement of all seven patents. In affirming the jury's finding that NanoString willfully infringed, the Court relied on the evidence showing that NanoString knew or was willfully blind that its acts would cause infringement of 10x's rights. The asserted patents in Case No. 21-cv-653-MFK include (a) U.S. Patent No. 10,472,669; (b) U.S. Patent No. 10,961,566; (c) U.S. Patent No. 10,983,113; (d) U.S. Patent No. 10,996,219; (e) U.S. Patent No. 11,001,878; (f) U.S. Patent No. 11,008,607 and (g) U.S. Patent No. 11,293,917.
