COLUMBIA, South Carolina (AP) — Victims' families and others affected by crimes that resulted in federal death row convictions shared a range of emotions on Monday, from relief to anger, after President Joe Biden commuted dozens of the sentences . Biden converted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The inmates include people who were convicted in the slayings of police, military officers and federal prisoners and guards. Others were involved in deadly robberies and drug deals. Three inmates will remain on federal death row: Dylann Roof , convicted of the 2015 racist slayings of nine Black members of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina; the 2013 Boston Marathon Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev , and Robert Bowers, who fatally shot 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of life Synagogue in 2018 , the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S history. Opponents of the death penalty lauded Biden for a decision they'd long sought. Supporters of Donald Trump , a vocal advocate of expanding capital punishment, criticized the move as an assault to common decency just weeks before the president-elect takes office. Donnie Oliverio, a retired Ohio police officer whose partner was killed by an inmate whose death sentence was commuted, said the execution of “the person who killed my police partner and best friend would have brought me no peace.” “The president has done what is right here,” Oliverio said in a statement also issued by the White House, “and what is consistent with the faith he and I share.” Heather Turner, whose mother, Donna Major, was killed in a bank robbery in South Carolina in 2017, called Biden's commutation of the killer's sentence a “clear gross abuse of power” in a Facebook post, adding that the weeks she spent in court with the hope of justice were now “just a waste of time.” “At no point did the president consider the victims,” Turner wrote. “He, and his supporters, have blood on their hands.” There has always been a broad range of opinions on what punishment Roof should face from the families of the nine people killed and the survivors of the massacre at the Mother Emanuel AME Church. Many forgave him, but some say they can’t forget and their forgiveness doesn’t mean they don’t want to see him put to death for what he did. Felicia Sanders survived the shooting shielding her granddaughter while watching Roof kill her son, Tywanza, and her aunt, Susie Jackson. Sanders brought her bullet-torn bloodstained Bible to his sentencing and said then she can’t even close her eyes to pray because Roof started firing during the closing prayer of Bible study that night. In a text message to her lawyer, Andy Savage, Sanders called Biden’s decision to not spare Roof’s life a wonderful Christmas gift. Michael Graham, whose sister, Cynthia Hurd, was killed, told The Associated Press that Roof’s lack of remorse and simmering white nationalism in the country means he is the kind of dangerous and evil person the death penalty is intended for. “This was a crime against a race of people," Graham said. “It didn’t matter who was there, only that they were Black.” But the Rev. Sharon Richer, who was Tywanza Sanders’ cousin and whose mother, Ethel Lance, was killed, criticized Biden for not sparing Roof and clearing out all of death row. She said every time Roof’s case comes up through numerous appeals it is like reliving the massacre all over again. “I need the President to understand that when you put a killer on death row, you also put their victims' families in limbo with the false promise that we must wait until there is an execution before we can begin to heal,” Richer said in a statement. Richer, a board member of Death Penalty Action, which seeks to abolish capital punishment, was driven to tears by conflicting emotions during a Zoom news conference Monday. “The families are left to be hostages for the years and years of appeals that are to come,” Richer said. “I’ve got to stay away from the news today. I’ve got to turn the TV off — because whose face am I going to see?” Biden is giving more attention to the three inmates he chose not to spare, something they all wanted as a part of what drove them to kill, said Abraham Bonowitz, Death Penalty Action’s executive director. “These three racists and terrorists who have been left on death row came to their crimes from political motivations. When Donald Trump gets to execute them what will really be happening is they will be given a global platform for their agenda of hatred,” Bonowitz said. Biden had faced pressure from advocacy organizations to commute federal death sentences, and several praised him for taking action in his final month in office. Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the ACLU, said in a statement that Biden “has shown our country — and the rest of the world — that the brutal and inhumane policies of our past do not belong in our future.” Republicans, including Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, on the other hand, criticized the move — and argued its moral ground was shaky given the three exceptions. “Once again, Democrats side with depraved criminals over their victims, public order, and common decency,” Cotton wrote on X. “Democrats can’t even defend Biden’s outrageous decision as some kind of principled, across-the-board opposition to the death penalty since he didn’t commute the three most politically toxic cases.” Liz Murrill, Louisiana's Republican attorney general, criticized the commuted sentence of Len Davis, a former New Orleans policeman convicted of orchestrating the killing of a woman who had filed a complaint against him. “We can’t trust the Feds to get justice for victims of heinous crimes, so it’s long past time for the state to get it done,” the tough-on-crime Republican said in a written statement to the AP. Two men whose sentences were commuted were Norris Holder and Billie Jerome Allen, on death row for opening fire with assault rifles during a 1997 bank robbery in St. Louis, killing a guard, 46-year-old Richard Heflin. Holder’s attorney, Madeline Cohen, said in an email that Holder, who is Black, was sentenced to death by an all-white jury. She said his case “reflects many of the system’s flaws,” and thanked Biden for commuting his sentence. “Norris’ case exemplifies the racial bias and arbitrariness that led the President to commute federal death sentences,” Cohen said. “Norris has always been deeply remorseful for the pain his actions caused, and we hope this decision brings some measure of closure to Richard Heflin’s family.” Swenson reported from Seattle. Associated Press writers Jim Salter in O'Fallon, Missouri, and Sara Cline in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, contributed to this report.As one of the last community owned teams left in the WHL, the Prince Albert Raiders are in good standings financially. The Raiders Board of Directors and staff gathered for their annual general meeting (AGM) Wednesday night to discuss where the team is sitting after the last season, and heard the organization has been able to manage finances well despite the rising cost of living. The last time the Raiders had a study done on their economic impact on the city was after the 2019-2020 season when they were credited with directly bringing in over $4.8 million dollars. The indirect impact was estimated at $10.1 million per year. With the latest study done for the 2023-24 season, that direct impact jumped up to over $6.1 million, and the indirect impact grew to $12.8 million per year. “I think it says a lot to the the value of WHL entertainment in your center,” said Raiders’ business manager Mike Scissons. “For us to be able to grow that number to $12.8 million a year roughly, that’s a big nut to be honest with you and something we’re incredibly proud of. I think everybody in the city is proud of that fact that the Raiders can help the development of the city grow that way, and it’s something that we’re very happy to see when that number came up.” One of the biggest positives for the Raiders was in their ticket sales. Season tickets and attendance has generally been down everywhere in the hockey world since the pandemic, but the Raiders have managed to increase their season ticket revenue as well as their walkup attendance. “It is something that we’re proud of. Our attendance right now through 14 games at home is up six per cent from where it was last year and that’s positive change. As attendance grows in the second-half, typically we’re looking for that to continue on and so we can’t thank our fans enough here in Prince Albert and surrounding area for continuing to support us. The games have been entertaining, they’ve been fun, they’ve been fast, and it’s something that when you leave the rink, you’re always entertained.” Most areas of the Raiders’ spending over the last season, including equipment and travel, are up as expected. One area that rose higher than inflation was game-day expenses, due to increased security. “We invested in bringing in additional security last year and it’s something we continue to do this year. I don’t want everyone to think that Raider games are dangerous places to be or, or scary places to be; they’re exactly the opposite. It’s a family friendly atmosphere and at the end of the day what we want to do is ensure that everyone there is getting in and out in a safe manner,” Scissons said. The Raiders have also improved game day experiences technically with the production of different videos and graphics on the video score clock. Scissons said it improves the atmosphere of the game, but its also a revenue generator for the Raiders through sponsored segments. A problem that is facing the CHL as a whole is that there is less national corporate sponsorship now that there is another form of competition with the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) taking some of those dollars. While the competition means less revenue for teams in the WHL, it also means more young women interested in the sport and potentially more young women wanting to come to watch the best hockey in town. “The PWHL alone is such an important step forward in sport and in our culture recognizing the outstanding achievements of female athletes and incredible hockey to watch. We were blessed to have a Canada versus Sweden game a number of years back, and it’s high level. Just go out, watch the Bears and you get to see incredible hockey, but it does add another layer into the market.” Scissons continued to say that while there is more competition now than ever for your entertainment dollar, the Raiders are continuing to add more to the overall fan experience so there is always something to look forward to. “I think what we have to do first and foremost is continue to put the Raiders out there and continue to put a good product on the ice, which I think we’re trying to do, and add entertainment value while you’re there. That’s what we’re working to do and just making sure that the people that come to our games are entertained first and foremost, and we will continue to try to improve that show every single time we go out there.” Mark Doell, Brent Spademan, and Brad Toporowski were all re-elected to the Board of Directors for another term. The entire board consists of: President/Governor: Gord Broda Vice President: Bard Toporowski Treasurer: Brent Spademan Directors: Corey Crawford, Mark Doell, Colin Fraser, Curtis Lemieux, Mike Lypchuk, Brent MacDonald, Ken Malenfant, Trevor Rumpel, and Gord Thompson. — panews@pattisonmedia.com

The escalation of the accusations against Manchester City underscores the growing importance of transparency and accountability in modern football. As the sport continues to grapple with issues of financial fair play and governance, clubs are facing increasing scrutiny and regulation to ensure a level playing field for all teams.The British Columbia government is increasing tax incentives for both local and international film and TV projects in an effort to attract more major productions to the province. Premier David Eby said the tax credit for international projects made in B.C. will jump from 28 to 36 per cent, and an incentive for Canadian-content productions will increase from 35 to 36 per cent. There’s also a special bonus to attract blockbuster productions with budgets of $200 million. Speaking on Thursday at the Martini Town studio, a New-York-themed backlot in Langley, B.C., Eby said tax incentives are the province’s “competitive advantage” and increasing them will help the industry that has been battered by the pandemic, labour disruptions and changes to industry practices. “This is a sector that’s taken some hits. The decision by major studios to ... reduce some of their budgets on production, the impact of labour disruptions, other jurisdictions competing with British Columbia for these productions with significant subsidies for the industry, means that we need to respond,” Eby said, the Manhattan street scene behind him decorated for Christmas. “We need to make sure that we continue to be competitive.” Government numbers show the film industry generated $2.7 billion in GDP in 2022 — roughly one per cent of provincial GDP — and $2 billion in 2023, a year affected by strike action and a decrease in global production A government statement says the incentives begin with productions that have principal photography starting Jan. 1, 2025, and projects with costs of greater than $200 million in B.C. will receive a two per cent bonus. Gemma Martini, chair of industry organization Screen BC and CEO of Martini Film Studios, told the news conference that it has been a “tumultuous” year for film and television, which supports tens of thousands of jobs. “It is clear that British Columbia is a well respected and preferred global production partner, but we must be able to compete at the bottom line,” she said. “We expect, we know, our government’s announcement will put B.C. back in the game to earn our true ‘Hollywood north’ reputation.” Foreign film and TV work makes up an average of 80 per cent of total production spending in B.C., and the government says maintaining strong international relationships is critical for the industry to continue to thrive. The government says it also intends to restore regional and distant-location tax credits that were cut last year for companies with a brick-and-mortar presence outside of Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Whistler and Squamish. Eby first promised to increase the tax credits as part of his election campaign earlier this year. Just days after the new B.C. cabinet was announced in November, a delegation that included Finance Minister Brenda Bailey and Arts and Culture Minister Spencer Chandra Herbert travelled to California to pitch B.C.‘s film and TV industry. Chandra Herbert told the news conference that during the trip they met industry representatives who are now looking at B.C. “in a bigger way” because of the new incentives. He said the additional two per cent bonus for productions over $200 million is a way to encourage larger productions to come and stay in B.C. “This is a way of making sure that the workers in this industry, and the companies, know that we’re here for them for the long term. You can make these investments long term. You can grow the industry today, tomorrow and into the years ahead,” he said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 12, 2024.

Substitute Sveindís Jonsdottir has scored four second-half goals to put Wolfsburg into the quarter-finals of Women's Champions League with 6-1 thrashing of Roma. Jonsdottir came on in the 66th minute of Wednesday's home match with Wolfsburg leading 2-1 and needing to win by at least a two-goal margin to secure a spot in the knockout stage with one group game to spare. The Iceland forward quickly made sure of that, netting her first just two minutes later and completing a hat-trick by the 89th. She added one more in stoppage time. Alexandra Popp had given the hosts an early lead but Roma equalised in the 56th minute through Valentina Giacinti. Lineth Beerensteyn restored a one-goal advantage nine minutes later. Wolfsburg are second in Group A with nine points from five games, while already qualified eight-time champions Lyon clinched the top spot in the group by routing Galatasaray 6-0 away in Istanbul. Roma are third on six points with newcomer Galatasaray last on zero points. In Group B, Chelsea maintained a perfect record by thrashing Twente 6-1 while Real Madrid won 3-0 away at Celtic. Signe Bruun scored twice for Madrid, netting with a long-distance strike in the first half and adding her second with a close-range header in the second. Chelsea and Madrid had both already clinched quarter-final spots. Chelsea lead the group with 15 points, with Madrid three points behind. The two meet in Madrid next week to decide the group winner. Twente have three points and Celtic none.

Fushi Technology to Launch AI Agent Industry Vertical Applications, Accelerating Southeast Asia Market ExpansionNasdaq surges above 20,000 after US inflation data matches estimatesIt’s not hard to understand the value tight end Josh Oliver brings to the Vikings. ADVERTISEMENT Just listen to the way people talk about him. “He’s an animal,” tight end T.J. Hockenson said. “Once he gets his hands on somebody, it’s kind of like, ‘Good luck.'” It was similar sentiment from offensive coordinator Wes Phillips. “He’s the best blocking tight end in the league, and that’s no disrespect to anybody else,” Phillips said. “We will take Josh over anybody in this league in the role that he’s in. It’s not only that he’s physically imposing as a 270-pound man. It’s the attitude that he plays with out there.” ADVERTISEMENT What are the Vikings losing now that Oliver has been ruled out with an ankle injury? His absence will be felt most when the Vikings try to run the ball against the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field. Though he has proved he can contribute in the passing game, Oliver has been a force in the running game since signing with the Vikings. There have been multiple times this season that Oliver had singlehandedly carved out space for running back Aaron Jones to go to work. That’s partially why Hockenson has played only about 50% of the offensive snaps since returning from a torn anterior cruciate ligament a few weeks ago. Even if the Vikings are often telegraphing a run when Oliver is on the field, they don’t care because they feel that strongly about his ability as a blocker. “You see it every single week,” Phillips said. “He’s moving large men and putting them on the ground.” ADVERTISEMENT It’s safe to assume Oliver would suit up for the Vikings if he were able to do so. He’s been playing through a wrist injury for the past few weeks, for example, and has still been extremely effective at the point of attack. How tough is it to replace Oliver in a vacuum? “It’s a big challenge because of all the things he does on a snap in and snap out basis,” head coach Kevin O’Connell said. “We will see some guys make some impacts on some different downs and distances than we have maybe seen up to this point.” ADVERTISEMENT Briefly The only other players on the injury report for the Vikings are tight end Nick Muse (hand) and edge rusher Gabe Murphy (knee). Both players were officially listed as questionable and being full participants in the walkthrough on Friday afternoon at TCO Performance Center. ______________________________________________________ This story was written by one of our partner news agencies.

A resident of a caravan park in northern Tasmania has won the right to have his case against his eviction heard in the Supreme Court. John Lowe, a retiree in his sixties, had been living at the Beauty Point Tourist Park for two years when he and two others were issued with eviction notices in July. Earlier in the year, after a number of issues arose at the park, Mr Lowe formed a residents' association and began advocating for those living at the park to politicians, the media, and on social media. Beauty Point Tourist Park fronts the Tamar River in northern Tasmania. (Facebook: Beauty Point Tourist Park ) In a letter to the park's other occupants, managing director Joshua Manticas alleged those being evicted had "been actively engaged in a campaign of personal denigration against our directors". But following the attempted eviction, Mr Lowe took the case to the Supreme Court, which on Tuesday issued a temporary injunction against his eviction and the removal of his home from the park while his breach-of-contract case was heard. Park's attempt to change rules in question About 60 people live at the Beauty Point Tourist Park, with some having been there for more than a decade. They own their homes, which the park describes as "removable vans and annexes", but pay fortnightly fees to management. Mr Lowe has told the court his home, which he purchased in 2022 from outgoing occupants, is fixed to the ground. John Lowe formed a residents' association at the park. (ABC News:... Ashleigh BarracloughSubstitute Dejan Kulusevski rescued a point for injury-hit Tottenham in a 1-1 draw with Rangers at Ibrox. The Swede’s well-taken finish ensured Ange Postecoglou’s side avoided a third straight defeat but have work to do to finish in the top eight in the Europa League and avoid an unwanted two-legged play-off in February. Hamza Igamane’s clinical first-time finish from James Tavernier’s cross broke the deadlock at the start of the second half but Kulusevski levelled the game with 15 minutes remaining. Here’s how we rated the Spurs players at Ibrox... Fraser Forster 9 Bailed Spurs out with a brilliant late save to deny Cyriel Dessers a certain winner. Also made a string of sharp stops in the first half. Powerless to keep out Igamane’s cool strike. Pedro Porro 4 Allowed Igamane to escape behind him for the opening goal. Forced a low save from Butland in the second half but looks some way from his best and probably needs a rest. Radu Dragusin 5 His scatty passing invited pressure on the patched-up back four. Has rarely looked assured in this competition and arguably lucky to avoid picking up two yellow cards. Archie Gray 5 Made a smart block on Vaclav Cerny’s shot but was beaten by Dessers for the sub’s golden late chance. Guilty of a few careless passes when stepping out with the ball. Sterner tests lie ahead. Destiny Udogie 6 Allowed James Tavernier to cross for Igamane’s well-taken goal. Another player who is probably due a proper rest. Yves Bissouma 6 Tidy but safe in possession at the base of midfield. Lacked the dynamism to make a real impact on the game. Rodrigo Bentancur 6 Brought a calmness to Spurs’ midfield in the first half but faded after the break, and was replaced on the hour. James Maddison 6 Involved in the equaliser, cannily stepping over Dominic Solanke’s cutback. Won a couple of free-kicks in dangerous areas but drifted in and out of the game. Brennan Johnson 4 Lost a series of 50:50s and turned down opportunities to take on his full-back. Timo Werner 3 Really poor in possession and blazed over an early chance from a good position. Hooked at half-time on another difficult night for the German. Heung-min Son 4 Rarely looks at his best as a No9 any more and offered little in the way of focal point, before switching to the wing for the final half-hour. Dejan Kulusevski (Werner 45’) 7 Underlined his importance again with a crucial equaliser. Added some much-needed fight and thrust to a limp Spurs performance. Dominic Solanke (Johnson 60’) 7 Set up Kulusevski’s goal and provided Spurs with a focal point in attack, unsettling Rangers. Pape Matar Sarr (Bentancur 60’) 6 Added energy to the midfield but had little impact with the ball. Lucas Bergvall (Bissouma 60’) 6 Another tidy cameo from the Swede, who is starting to look more comfortable at this level. Not used: Austin, Whiteman, Dorrington, Hardy, Lankshear, Olusesi, Williams-Barnett.
