New 2025 laws hit hot topics from AI in movies to rapid-fire guns
Sunday's showdown between the Philadelphia 76ers and visiting Los Angeles Clippers is not going to materialize in the way Paul George had hoped. After five seasons with the Clippers, George signed a four-year, $212 million deal with the Sixers in the offseason. However, the team has won only three times in its first 15 games with stars Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and George all missing significant time due to injuries. Embiid continues to nurse a knee injury and will miss this matchup, while George (hyperextended knee) will not be available to face his former team. Meanwhile, the Clippers have been up-and-down this season while playing the entire campaign without two-way standout Kawhi Leonard (knee). Los Angeles opened the season 2-1 before losing three in a row. The team then won four straight, then lost three consecutive games and now has won four straight entering Sunday's opener of a four-game road trip. The Clippers announced over the weekend that Leonard would miss the entire trip, which puts more pressure on former Sixers guard James Harden, who is averaging 20.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and a team-high 8.8 assists. Norman Powell is the Clippers' leading scorer at 23.3 points per game. He will miss his third consecutive game with a hamstring issue. The Clippers won twice at home without Powell, including Friday's 104-88 triumph over the Sacramento Kings. Harden had 22 points to lead the way in that contest, while Ivica Zubac notched 10 points and 15 rebounds. "All games are meaningful for us," Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said after the win in NBA Cup play. "Playing for the Cup and having a chance to go to Vegas to play for the big money is always intriguing as well. But we got to play the same way every night, whether it's the Cup, whatever we are doing, being short-handed." After committing 22 turnovers in the victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, the Clippers committed just 12 turnovers against the Kings. "We've just got to take care of the basketball," Lue said. That will be particularly important Sunday against a Philadelphia squad that forced 19 turnovers in Friday's 113-98 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. On the offensive end, rookie Jared McCain and All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey combined for 56 points as the Sixers snapped a five-game slide. "I ain't gonna lie, it felt good to win," Maxey said after shooting 11-of-17 for 26 points. "I'm not going to sit here and talk about making shots. We played so hard, offensively and defensively, (and) played together. Guys stuck together." McCain was caught on camera in the fourth quarter saying, "I'm Rookie of the Year." The guard finished with 30 points -- his seventh straight game with at least 20 points. "It's one of my goals for the season, obviously," McCain said, "but it was just that competitiveness coming out of me. I respect every other rookie in this league, but obviously I'm a believer in myself and so, yeah, some words definitely came out at that point." The teams met Nov. 6 in Los Angeles, where the Clippers posted a comfortable 110-98 victory behind 26 points from Powell. --Field Level MediaAston Villa’s disallowed goal would have counted in England – Unai Emery

How co-writing a book threatened the Carters’ marriageThe biggest names in data recovery software require subscriptions, which seems wasteful given you should only need these apps on rare occasions. You probably aren’t accidentally deleting files and experiencing drive failures several times in a single year, so an option to make a one-time purchase could be more attractive. When I reviewed Disk Drill Pro and DMDE Professional, I was impressed that these no-subscription apps effectively restored lost files without ongoing fees. To help you choose between them, I’ll compare the user interfaces, feature sets, recovery accuracy, and customer service quality, so you can pick the best data recovery software for your needs. Specs Tiers and pricing Disk Drill offers a free version capped at 500MB of data recovery. That’s a restrictive amount that will likely leave you wanting more, so it’s best to think of it as a trial version. The free app can help you test the app on your drive before purchasing. In contrast, the free version of DMDE is quite useful, letting you restore up to 4,000 files at a time. The only other limitation is that it skips folders. That means you need to scan each folder separately or pay for a license to unlock all the features. You can buy Disk Drill Pro for just $89. Data recovery software like EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Pro costs more than that annually. With a paid copy, you can use Disk Drill Pro on up to three computers. At that bargain price, you get minor updates and a 50% discount on major updates. For even more value, Disk Drill developer CleverFiles offers a lifetime upgrade option for another $19. DMDE has four payment options. Express is an annual subscription for $20 for one computer, Standard requires a one-time payment of $48 for a perpetual license on a single computer, and two professional plans, starting at $95, that let you purchase lifetime licenses for commercial use on more devices. Both apps have very affordable one-time purchase prices, but price isn’t everything. Features Disk Drill Pro has a modern design that’s easy to use even if you’re unfamiliar with data recovery apps. After selecting a drive and starting a scan, you’ll see a list of files the app might be able to restore. It also shows an estimate of recovery chances for each file and lets you preview images. After Disk Drill Pro’s scan is complete, you choose individual files or select them all and pick another drive and folder to begin restoring the lost files. The speed depends on the size and number of files and the speed of the source and destination drives. DMDE works similarly but the layout will be more appealing to technical users. There are more options for digging deeper into the drive, and the basics are simple. You get a file list and previews during the scan operation. DMDE doesn’t show recovery chances, but a viewable preview indicates success is likely. If you have deep knowledge of file formats, you can even edit the contents of a drive with DMDE, potentially correcting errors manually. Ultimately, data recovery software is only worthwhile if it works, and in my testing I found Disk Drill Pro to be effective at restoring recently lost or deleted files from a hard disk drive (HDD). DMDE was equally adept. While both apps recovered data from a damaged thumb drive, solid-state drive (SSD) restoration failed. That’s inherent to fast, efficient SSD technology , not a flaw in data recovery software. Overall, Disk Drill Pro and DMDE performed as well as the leading solutions while costing much less. Support If you’ve lost essential files or photos and videos of special moments, getting your data back is important and you don’t want to make a mistake. Good customer service can help you solve problems and provide peace of mind in this challenging situation. I was surprised to learn that Disk Drill Pro offers 24/7 live chat support despite its low price. In my tests, I waited one to six minutes for replies to my questions. That’s fast for good technical customer service. DMDE has email support and it took more than a day to get a reply. That’s not uncommon for utility apps. Still, it’s much slower than Disk Drill Pro. For the fastest customer service you’ll need a premium subscription from data recovery apps like EaseUS or Stellar . Privacy and security If you install the free versions of Disk Drill or DMDE, you don’t even need to provide an email address. DMDE has fewer restrictions, so it’s the best for ultimate anonymity. Both apps respect user privacy when you purchase a license. Disk Drill Pro and DMDE collect only what’s needed to process your payment and deliver the services you paid for. Neither has a record of a data breach, and I haven’t received an increase in spam after using both. Disk Drill Pro and DMDE are safe and private. Which data recovery app is right for you? Both apps have good data recovery rates for HDDs and thumb drives, but don’t expect to restore any lost SSD files. That’s a difficult challenge, even for the best data recovery software . That said, there are some notable distinctions between Disk Drill Pro and DMDE. Disk Drill Pro is the right choice if you need an app that’s easy to use. The app guides you from step to step, making file restoration simple. While the $89 price makes it the more expensive solution, you can install Disk Drill Pro on up to three computers, and it works on Windows and macOS. It might take some time to learn how to get the most from DMDE, but it has more options and advanced features, even drive editing. DMDE Free is just as effective as the paid version, but $48 unlocks the time-saving features like folder recovery. DMDE supports Linux as as well as Windows and macOS. A Standard license supports only a single computer, but a Professional license lets you use it on up to five computers per month. DMDE’s flexible pricing with free, low-cost subscription, and three one-time purchase options, along with broad operating system support, effective HDD recovery, and advanced features, tip the scales in its favor. Overall, we recommend DMDE over Disk Drill Pro as the best no-subscription data recovery software.Moscow and New Delhi to discuss defense partnership

North Carolina (13-2, 1-1 ACC) lost its conference opener to No. 13 Georgia Tech on Dec. 15 before nonconference wins against Florida and Norfolk State. Gakdeng made 7 of 11 from the field and 7 of 10 from the free-throw line. Indya Nivar finished with 11 points, five assists and three steals for the Tar Heels. Miami (11-2, 1-1) had its four-game win streak snapped. Gakdeng made a layup with 6:14 left in the first quarter that gave North Carolina the lead for good and Ustby followed with a 3-pointer to spark a 9-0 spurt that made it 16-7 about 2 minutes later. The Tar Heels scored eight of the first 10 second-quarter points to push their lead to 13 with 7:25 left in the second quarter before Miami scored the final seven points to trim its deficit to 39-29 at halftime. Jasmyne Roberts hit a 3-pointer for the Hurricanes that made it a seven-point game with 8:11 left in the third quarter but they got no closer. Nivar made a layup with 5:16 remaining until the fourth that made it 48-38 and UNC led by double figures until a 3-pointer by Roberts capped the scoring in the closing seconds. Hannah Cavinder led Miami with 19 points, 11 rebounds and five assists. Roberts made four 3-pointers and also scored 19 points, 14 in the second half. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here . AP women’s college basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-womens-college-basketball-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/womens-college-basketballBERLIN (AP) — Harry Kane scored a hat trick including two penalties for Bayern Munich to beat Augsburg 3-0 in the Bundesliga on Friday. The win stretched Bayern’s lead to eight points ahead of the rest of the 11th round, and Kane took his goals tally to a league-leading 14. The England forward is the fastest player to reach 50 goals in the Bundesliga in what was his 43rd game. However, coach Vincent Kompany should be concerned by his team’s ongoing difficulty of scoring in matches it dominates. Bayern previously defeated St. Pauli and Benfica only 1-0. Kompany’s team had to wait until stoppage time before Kane sealed the result with his second penalty. Two minutes later, Kane scored with a header after controlling Leon Goretzka's cross with his first touch for a flattering scoreline. “We had to be patient,” Kane said. “And at halftime that’s what we said, to keep doing what we’re doing. We had a few chances in the first half and we just had to be a bit more clinical and obviously, thankfully, we got the penalty to kind of open the game up.” Mads Pedersen was penalized for handball following a VAR review and Kane duly broke the deadlock in the 63rd. Bayern continued as before with 80% possession, but had to wait for Keven Schlotterbeck to be penalized through VAR for a foul on Kane. Kane sealed the result in the third minute of stoppage time and there was still time for him to grab another. It’s Bayern’s seventh consecutive win without conceding a goal since it conceded four at Barcelona (4-1) on Oct. 23 in the Champions League. “You can see now that we have a solid defense and that's the basis, also in games like today's,” Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich said. “When it's a game of patience, then it's important for us to know that sometimes one goal will have to do. Like today we added two more before the finish, but in the end you only need to score one more than the opponent.” Bayern next hosts Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday, then Borussia Dortmund away in the Bundesliga next weekend, before defending champion Bayer Leverkusen visits in the third round of the German Cup.
