Trump Calls for Loyalist Kari Lake to Lead US-Funded International News Agency
Judy Murray has responded positively on social media after it was announced Andy Murray would be coaching Novak Djokovic ahead of the Australian Open. Murray brought the curtain down on his illustrious playing career earlier this year following one final appearance at Wimbledon and the Paris Olympics, where he played in the men's doubles alongside Dan Evans. The Scot gave little away when he was quizzed on his post-retirement plans. But it was announced on Saturday that the 37-year-old would be part of Djokovic's new-look support team as he goes in search of a 25th Grand Slam title in Australia. Judy responded to the announcement by sharing the post with a popcorn emoji, before Djokovic posted a video showing himself and Murray from earlier in their careers, saying: “He never liked retirement anyway”. Judy responded to said post with a laughing emoji complete with clapping hands, with Djokovic's words going down a storm with fans online, too. Djokovic also commented in a statement, saying: “I am excited to have one of my greatest rivals on the same side of the net as my coach. Looking forward to the start of the season and competing in Australia alongside Andy, with whom I have shared many exceptional moments on the Australian soil.” Murray himself added: “I'm going to be joining Novak's team in the off-season, helping him to prepare for the Australian Open. “I'm really excited for it and looking forward to spending time on the same side of the net as Novak for a change, helping him to achieve his goals.” Djokovic split with his long-time coach, Goran Ivanisevic, back in March. A few weeks later at the Laureus World Sport Awards, the Serbian suggested he could coach himself, although he has since worked with he has trained with Nenad Zimonjic. “I am considering that as well, whether I should or shouldn’t have the coach,” Djokovic said at the time. “I had a really good time with Nenad Zimonjic as my coach the last three weeks so we’re talking about continuing and seeing. Let’s see, I’m going to make the decision in the next period.” He continue: “I’m not rushing. I feel like playing tennis over 20 years and having a lot of different teams and coaches, it’s not like I think I don’t need a coach at all. I think there’s always value in having that quality team and fitness coach, physio, mental coach. It’s all important. It creates a formula for success and helps you perform better, train better, recover better. Stay on the top for as long as you can. “But I think I’m in the stage of my career where I can afford to maybe think having no coach is also an option. Let’s see. I’m going to make my decision soon.”
By HILLEL ITALIE NEW YORK (AP) — Even through a year of nonstop news about elections, climate change, protests and the price of eggs, there was still time to read books. U.S. sales held steady according to Circana, which tracks around 85% of the print market, with many choosing the relief of romance, fantasy and romantasy. Some picked up Taylor Swift’s tie-in book to her blockbuster tour, while others sought out literary fiction, celebrity memoirs, political exposes and a close and painful look at a generation hooked on smartphones. Here are 10 notable books published in 2024, in no particular order. Asking about the year’s hottest reads would basically yield a list of the biggest hits in romantasy, the blend of fantasy and romance that has proved so irresistible fans were snapping up expensive “special editions” with decorative covers and sprayed edges. Of the 25 top sellers of 2024, as compiled by Circana, six were by romantasy favorite Sarah J. Maas, including “House of Flame and Shadow,” the third of her “Crescent City” series. Millions read her latest installment about Bryce Quinlan and Hunter Athalar and traced the ever-growing ties of “Maasverse,” the overlapping worlds of “Crescent City” and her other series, “Throne of Glass” and “A Court of Thorns and Roses.” If romantasy is for escape, other books demand we confront. In the bestselling “The Anxious Generation,” social psychologist Jonathan Haidt looks into studies finding that the mental health of young people began to deteriorate in the 2010s, after decades of progress. According to Haidt, the main culprit is right before us: digital screens that have drawn kids away from “play-based” to “phone-based” childhoods. Although some critics challenged his findings, “The Anxious Generation” became a talking point and a catchphrase. Admirers ranged from Oprah Winfrey to Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee, who in a letter to state legislators advocated such “commonsense recommendations” from the book as banning phones in schools and keeping kids off social media until age 16. Bob Woodward books have been an election tradition for decades. “War,” the latest of his highly sourced Washington insider accounts, made news with its allegations that Donald Trump had been in frequent contact with Russian leader Vladimir Putin even while out of office and, while president, had sent Putin sophisticated COVID-19 test machines. Among Woodward’s other scoops: Putin seriously considered using nuclear weapons against Ukraine, and President Joe Biden blamed former President Barack Obama, under whom he served as vice president, for some of the problems with Russia. “Barack never took Putin seriously,” Woodward quoted Biden as saying. Former (and future) first lady Melania Trump, who gives few interviews and rarely discusses her private life, unexpectedly announced she was publishing a memoir: “Melania.” The publisher was unlikely for a former first lady — not one of the major New York houses, but Skyhorse, where authors include such controversial public figures as Woody Allen and Trump cabinet nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And its success was at least a minor surprise. Melania Trump did little publicity for the book, and offered few revelations beyond posting a video expressing support for abortion rights — a break from one of the cornerstones of GOP policy. But “Melania” still sold hundreds of thousands of copies, many in the days following her husband’s election. Taylor Swift was more than a music story in 2024. Like “Melania,” the news about Taylor Swift’s self-published tie-in to her global tour isn’t so much the book itself, but that it exists. And how well it sold. As she did with the “Eras” concert film, Swift bypassed the established industry and worked directly with a distributor: Target offered “The Eras Tour Book” exclusively. According to Circana, the “Eras” book sold more than 800,000 copies just in its opening week, an astonishing number for a publication unavailable through Amazon.com and other traditional retailers. No new book in 2024 had a better debut. Midnight book parties are supposed to be for “Harry Potter” and other fantasy series, but this fall, more than 100 stores stayed open late to welcome one of the year’s literary events: Sally Rooney’s “Intermezzo.” The Irish author’s fourth novel centers on two brothers, their grief over the death of their father, their very different career paths and their very unsettled love lives. “Intermezzo” was also a book about chess: “You have to read a lot of opening theory — that’s the beginning of a game, the first moves,” one of the brothers explains. “And you’re learning all this for what? Just to get an okay position in the middle game and try to play some decent chess. Which most of the time I can’t do anyway.” Lisa Marie Presley had been working on a memoir at the time of her death , in 2023, and daughter Riley Keough had agreed to help her complete it. “From Here to the Great Unknown” is Lisa Marie’s account of her father, Elvis Presley, and the sagas of of her adult life, notably her marriage to Michael Jackson and the death of son Benjamin Keough. To the end, she was haunted by the loss of Elvis, just 42 when he collapsed and died at his Graceland home while young Lisa Marie was asleep. “She would listen to his music alone, if she was drunk, and cry,” Keough, during an interview with Winfrey, said of her mother. Meanwhile, Cher released the first of two planned memoirs titled “Cher” — no further introduction required. Covering her life from birth to the end of the 1970s, she focuses on her ill-fated marriage to Sonny Bono, remembering him as a gifted entertainer and businessman who helped her believe in herself while turning out to be unfaithful, erratic, controlling and so greedy that he kept all the couple’s earnings for himself. Unsure of whether to leave or stay, she consulted a very famous divorcee, Lucille Ball, who reportedly encouraged her: “F— him, you’re the one with the talent.” A trend in recent years is to take famous novels from the past, and remove words or passages that might offend modern readers; an edition of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” cuts the racist language from Mark Twain’s original text. In the most celebrated literary work of 2024, Percival Everett found a different way to take on Twain’s classic — write it from the perspective of the enslaved Jim. “James,” winner of the National Book Award, is a recasting in many ways. Everett suggests to us that the real Jim was nothing like the deferential figure known to millions of readers, but a savvy and learned man who concealed his intelligence from the whites around him, and even from Twain himself. Salman Rushdie’s first National Book Award nomination was for a memoir he wished he had no reason to write. In “Knife,” he recounts in full detail the horrifying attempt on his life in 2022, when an attendee rushed the stage during a literary event in western New York and stabbed him repeatedly, leaving with him a blinded eye and lasting nerve damage, but with a spirit surprisingly intact. “If you had told me that this was going to happen and how would I deal with it, I would not have been very optimistic about my chances,” he told The Associated Press last spring. “I’m still myself, you know, and I don’t feel other than myself. But there’s a little iron in the soul, I think.”METRO AIRPORT (WXYZ) — As the holiday shopping season gains momentum, Detroit Metro Airport launched an exciting new initiative designed to support local businesses. The SOAR program, which stands for Small Business Operators Arriving Ready, offers small businesses the unique opportunity to showcase their products to travelers arriving and departing from the airport. This initiative is a game-changer for small business owners, as it allows them to reach a global audience. Amy Peterson, owner of Rebel Nell, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "To be able and see different sales come from different parts of the country, we certainly attribute that to the airport traffic." The exposure that comes with being featured in such a busy terminal can significantly boost sales and visibility. A special ribbon-cutting ceremony took place in the Evans Terminal at Metro Airport, celebrating the launch of the SOAR program. Travelers like David Brookes, who was heading to Denver, praised the initiative, "It's wonderful to have people come to and from Detroit and be able to get a quick taste of what is going on locally." The SOAR program allows local businesses to appeal to a broader audience, with Detroit Metro Airport seeing over 31 million travelers annually, making it one of the busiest airports in the world. The first businesses selected to launch through the SOAR initiative include Rebel Nell and Quix Chocolates, both of which were chosen after a competitive application process. Peterson founded Rebel Nell with the mission of empowering women transitioning out of shelters. Her jewelry, crafted from graffiti around Metro Detroit, allows travelers to take home a piece of the city. "This is such a great place to highlight the city," she shared. "When you buy something from Rebel Nell, you’re not only getting a unique piece but also making a positive impact locally." David Ogloza, owner of Quix Chocolates based in Ferndale, expressed his excitement about the opportunity to reach a wider audience. "The connections we make here can extend all the way to Texas or Istanbul, " he said. Quix Chocolates offers 40 different types of specialty Belgian chocolates, providing travelers with a taste of fine chocolate made in Michigan. Both Peterson and Ogloza say that the exposure from the SOAR program has resulted in increased sales and greater brand visibility. Travelers like Cindy Brookes echoed the sentiment, noting the importance of supporting small businesses and the joy of gifting locally made products. As the holiday season approaches, the SOAR initiative not only provides small business owners with a platform to shine but also enriches the travel experience for visitors passing through Detroit Metro Airport. With each purchase, travelers are reminded of the vibrant local culture and the entrepreneurial spirit of Michigan.

U.S. tech stocks have gotten extremely expensive. The big-name tech companies (i.e., , , and are all trading well North of 30 times earnings, while some smaller ones like ( ) are at 60 times I’m not saying that U.S. tech stocks are necessarily overvalued today. However, the further their prices rise, the lesser the odds that they will continue to rise further. We are currently in the midst of a two-year bull market in tech stocks that shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, you could argue that we are in a 16-year bull market in tech stocks, one that was interrupted very briefly in 2018, 2020, and 2022 but never seriously challenged as a long-term trend. The periods just referred to were technically “bear markets,” but they didn’t last long. The 16-year trend is clear. You have to wonder how long this party can go on for — the U.S. tech sector is currently valued at an amount approaching that of U.S. GDP. That doesn’t mean a bear market is a near-term certainty, but on a long-term basis, these valuations could cause some problems. In this article, I will explore why U.S. tech stocks have gotten so expensive and why “this time isn’t different.” 46 times cash flow According to CSI Market, the U.S. tech sector is currently trading at 46 times cash flow. The company’s report does not state whether it is talking about operating cash flow or free cash flow, but the multiple is extremely high regardless of which cash flow metric you look at. 46 times cash flow multiples tend not to last long. The U.S. tech stocks are growing, so the multiple could come down because of that. However, these companies’ growth rates are, in many cases, not that high. Also, the growth could reverse, like it did in 2022. The incredible story of Palantir’s nosebleed valuation One company that serves to illustrate the priciness of U.S. tech stocks is Palantir. Trading at 200 times adjusted earnings, 354 times reported earnings, and 60 times sales, it is one of the most expensive large cap stocks of all time. The company’s stock got expensive thanks in no small part to an army of retail investors who “pumped” it on X (the social media app formerly known as Twitter). If history is any indication, PLTR will come crashing down like the meme stocks of yesteryear. Some alternatives to consider If you’re worried about overvaluation in the U.S. tech sector, you could move your money into non-U.S. stocks or bonds. Non-U.S. stocks are than U.S. stocks on average, despite, in many cases, performing as well in fundamental terms. An exchange-traded fund (ETF) of Canadian stocks would make a lot of sense here. The are more heavily concentrated in value sectors like banking, energy, and utilities compared to the U.S. markets. So, investing in a TSX index fund could be one way to diversify your portfolio away from the 60-times-sales wonders dominating the U.S. markets. Consider ( ), for example. It’s an ETF based on the S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index — the 240 biggest Canadian stocks by market cap. The fund actually holds 220 of the 240 stocks, meaning that it represents its benchmark fairly well. Why would an investor consider taking a position in a fund like XIC? First, it’s very diversified, which reduces the risk in its holdings. Second, its holdings are fairly modestly valued. Third, its management fee is only 0.05%, so you don’t need to worry about paying most of your return out to the fund managers. It all adds up to a very sensible fund that could diversify your portfolio away from the unbelievably expensive U.S. tech sector.US TikTok content creators warn followers to find them on Instagram, YouTubePrep roundup: Davis boys basketball shuts down Mt.

George Strait was the star of last night's Country Music Awards − in more ways than one. The legendary crooner, sometimes called the "King of Country Music," was honored at Wednesday's CMAs with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award. The honor included star-studded performances of Strait's classics from the likes of Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, Jamey Johnson, Park McCollum and Lainey Wilson, who won the night's entertainer of the year award. For the performance, Stapleton joined the king himself for "Honky Honk Hall of Fame," Lambert and McCollum collaborated on "Troubadour," Johnson sang "Give It Away" and Wilson sang "Amarillo By Morning." During his acceptance speech, the "Troubador" singer told the audience, "I want to thank these great artists who've performed some of my songs ... it's amazing to hear y'all do them. I'm so glad I got them before you." CMA Awards 2024 winners list: Chris Stapleton, Megan Moroney, George Strait Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Strait also thanked his family in the crowd − his wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandkids − as they watched on. "It's so great to have y'all here, but especially Norma (his wife) who's supported me for just shy of 53 years," he said. Strait boasts a remarkably durable career. In June, the 72-year-old artist broke the record for the largest ticketed show ever in the U.S. His style has not changed much over the years, even as the industry has become more pop-centric. That classic worn-leather quality is what some fans called back to when they took to social media to comment on his perceived reaction to the award show's performances. Some took his unflinching face during the tribute to be a distaste for country music's modern tilt. But really, who knows? As USA TODAY's Erin Jensen wrote of similar scrutiny when Ben Affleck attended the 2023 Grammy Awards alongside then-wife Jennifer Lopez, "Maybe he was miserable. I've been to award shows, and they can be extremely long." "Or maybe there was something going on that made it difficult for the star to maintain a smile for the length of the entire event. Or maybe he was having a great time and that is just his face!" Contributing: Erin Jensen2025 Budget: Oborevwori Commits To Enhanced Development Of Delta

NFL world reacts with excitement, surprise, questions after Bill Belichick is hired to coach UNCLions place Ennis Rakestraw Jr. on IR, activate Emmanuel MoseleyPune: Parth Pawar, son of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Ajit Pawar, has criticised party MLC Amol Mitkari for his remarks on DesignBox, a public relations agency hired for his father’s election campaign. Taking to social media platform X, Parth termed Mitkari’s statements as “anti-party”. Mitkari had earlier raised objections to DesignBox taking credit for the party’s electoral success and criticised a photograph showing the agency’s head, Naresh Arora, placing his hand on Ajit’s shoulder on election day—a picture shared by Ajit himself. In his post, Parth stated: “It is highly unfortunate that Mr. @AmolMitkari22, despite being a party MLC, has chosen to take an anti-party stance regarding the role of @DesignBoxed and Sh. Naresh Arora. My party and my father, Sh. AjitPawarSpeaks, the National President of the party, categorically do not endorse or align with Mr. Mitkari’s views in any manner. He is strongly urged to refrain from making such comments or providing media bites on this matter.” Ajit, on PR firm’s advice, made changes in the party’s strategy while going ahead for polls, with pink becoming central theme of electioneering. In a Marathi daily, Mitkari wrote: “It is just a PR agency. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde hired three agencies, and the Bharatiya Janata Party also hired one, but these agencies did not get credit for their victories. In our party, it seems DesignBox is trying to become the owner of the party.” The MLC also raised issue with Arora’s gesture of placing hand on Ajit’s shoulder, calling it disrespectful to the party’s grassroots workers. “Ajit Dada called me to discuss the issue, and I explained that I was voicing the concerns of workers. It is unacceptable for anyone to place a hand on the shoulder of our national leader. If someone supports such actions, they are disregarding party ethics,” Mitkari said. The incident highlights growing tensions within the NCP over the role of external agencies in the party’s election strategies, sparking debate over their influence in political campaigns.
