San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy took part in some light throwing after missing his first career game due to an injury , and the 49ers are hoping he can return this week. Purdy hurt his throwing shoulder during a loss to Seattle on Nov. 17. Purdy underwent two MRIs last week that showed no structural damage. But Purdy he felt discomfort after making a few throws at practice on Thursday and was shut down for the game at Green Bay on Sunday that San Francisco lost 38-10 . Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Purdy made it through the session without pain and will rest on Tuesday and hopefully be able to return to practice on Wednesday as the Niners prepare to play at Buffalo this coming week. "We rested it throughout the weekend hoping that would help," Shanahan said. "He threw lighter today to see if that rest helps and the rest did help him. So we'll see again, going through the same things we did last week. We're going to let him rest all the way up to Wednesday. We'll see how it feels on Wednesday and then we'll take the exact same course throughout the week. Hopefully it responds better this week than it did last week with the rest." Brandon Allen went 17 for 29 for 199 yards with a touchdown, an interception and a lost fumble in his first start since the 2021 season. Allen would play once again if Purdy is unable to go on Sunday at Buffalo. Purdy wasn't the only star player missing for the 49ers on Sunday with defensive end Nick Bosa missing the game with injuries to his left hip and oblique and left tackle Trent Williams out with an ankle injury. "Just waiting to see how they respond," Shanahan said. "They didn't respond great last week. That's why they weren't able to go. Nick and Trent are both in the same boat. ... We'll evaluate as this week progresses and hopefully it turns a better corner than it did last week." In other injury news, linebacker Dre Greenlaw will return to practice this week for the first time since tearing his Achilles tendon in the Super Bowl last season. Greenlaw will likely need at least a couple of weeks of practice before being able to return to play. Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano will be shut down for the rest of the season after his knee injury didn't fully heal. Feliciano's three-week practice window ended Monday and the Niners decided to keep him on injured reserve instead of activating him. Left guard Aaron Banks, defensive tackle Jordan Elliott and receiver Jacob Cowing all remain in concussion protocol to start this week and their status is unknown. Right guard Dominick Puni (shoulder) and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir (knee) underwent MRIs on Monday and the team is waiting for results. Cornerback Renardo Green (neck) and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) are day to day. Defensive tackle Kevin Givens is expected to return to practice this week after missing the past four games with a groin injury.Beachgoer stumbles upon human leg that washed up on Southern California coastJapan to compile record ¥115.5 trillion initial budget for FY2025The Boeing 747's Longest Nonstop Passenger Flights In December

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — The United Nations raised the death toll of a recent massacre in which dozens of older people and Vodou religious leaders were killed by a gang in Haiti, and called on officials to bring the perpetrators to justice. The U.N. Integrated Office in Haiti said in a report published on Monday that between Dec. 6 and 11 more than 207 people were killed by the Wharf Jeremie gang. The gang took people from their homes and from a place of worship, interrogated them and then executed them with bullets and machetes. Earlier this month, human rights groups in Haiti had estimated that more than 100 people were killed in the massacre, but the new U.N. investigation doubles the number of victims. “We cannot pretend that nothing happened” said María Isabel Salvador, the U.N. secretary-general’s special representative in Haiti. “I call on the Haitian justice system to thoroughly investigate these horrific crimes and arrest and punish the perpetrators, as well as those who support them," she said in a statement. Human rights groups in Haiti said the massacre began after the son of Micanor Altès, the leader of the Wharf Jeremie gang, died from an illness. The Cooperative for Peace and Development, a human rights group, said that according to information circulating in the community, Altès accused people in the neighborhood of causing his son’s illness. “He decided to cruelly punish all elderly people and (Vodou) practitioners who, in his imagination, would be capable of casting a bad spell on his son,” the group said in a statement released shortly after news of the massacre emerged. In Monday's report, the United Nations said that people were tracked down in their homes and in a place of worship by Altès’ gang, where they were first interrogated and then taken to an execution site. The United Nations said that the gang tried to erase evidence of the killings by burning bodies, or by dismembering them and throwing them into the sea. The massacre is the latest humanitarian tragedy in Haiti, where gang violence has intensified since the nation’s president was killed in a 2021 coup attempt . Haiti has struggled to organize an election that will fill the power vacuum and restore democratic rule. The Caribbean nation is currently governed by a transitional council that includes representatives from the business community, civil society and political parties, but its government has no control over many areas of the capital city, and gangs are constantly fighting over ports, highways and neighborhoods. According to the United Nations, more than 5,350 people have been killed in Haiti’s gang wars this year. The Haitian government acknowledged the massacre against older people in a statement issued earlier this month, and promised to persecute those responsible for this act of “unspeakable carnage.”SC41 Focuses on Health and Sustainability, Showcasing the Best Chemical-Free Furniture and Natural Mattresses Santa Cruz 12-26-2024 10:18 PM CET | Politics, Law & Society Press release from: Getnews / PR Agency: Spine PR Image: https://www.globalnewslines.com/uploads/2024/12/1735207670.jpg SC41 Furniture & Mattresses in Soquel redefines home living with handcrafted furniture and natural mattresses, offering sustainable, non-toxic options for health-conscious Santa Cruz residents.

As Tarrant County lawmakers prepare to kick off the Texas legislative session Jan. 14, Fort Worth Report journalists are exploring the policies set to be reshaped in Austin. Click here for more legislative coverage. North Texas leaders seek funds to improve transportation infrastructure as the 89th Texas Legislature prepares to meet Jan. 14. The Regional Transportation Council, an independent policy group made up of elected and appointed officials from 16 counties including Tarrant, spotlights funding mechanisms for roads, rail and transit services on its list of 2025 legislative priorities. The group is seeking “fair-share” allocation of funds for capacity improvements to metropolitan regions or to allow the use of public-private partnerships to advance transportation projects. The council also is advocating for innovative funding methods to expand rail and transit options with the North Central Texas Council of Governments representative area. Those efforts would include requiring expenditures from a portion of the Texas Mobility Fund for regional commuter rail and Class I railroad improvements, supporting dedicated funding for transit and rail via the Texas Department of Transportation’s budget rider and allocating money to the existing Texas Rail Relocation and Improvement Fund. The funding requests come as Fort Worth is seeing a boom in passenger rail services , including those offered by Amtrak as well as for the Trinity Metro transit agency’s two commuter lines , TEXRail and the Trinity Railway Express. Bus ridership is also up as Trinity Metro moves toward color-coded routes and simplified fares. Get essential daily news for the Fort Worth area. Sign up for insightful, in-depth stories — completely free. The North Texas population boom will require significant transit options, Michael Morris, transportation director for the council of governments, said. “As NCTCOG and the Regional Transportation Council plan for 2050, the critical question is: Can local governments reduce congestion through land-use density, resulting in higher holding capacities and shorter trip lengths with a balance of jobs to housing?” Morris wrote in a commentary published in the Fort Worth Report in July. “In other words, how can cities help reduce traffic congestion while providing opportunities for jobs and housing near the workplace?” Morris said the Regional Transportation Council is conducting a strategic review of public transportation authorities as part of the group’s Transit 2.0 initiative. “This initiative lays out a series of tasks to reimagine what our public transportation system will look like in a quarter-century,” he said. “One of these tasks involves increased density around existing rail stations.” The creation of a high-speed rail authority was among the Regional Transportation Council’s initial legislative priorities , but that item has been revised. Now, the council seeks a review with TxDOT and the Legislature to consider “options related to the creation of a new state high-speed rail authority” as proposed high-speed routes from Houston to Dallas and Fort Worth and Arlington to Dallas are considered. The group said its priorities will encourage “retainment of eminent domain authority in (its) current statute to allow planning and development of new and/or expanded transportation corridors, including high-speed rail, commuter rail, freight rail, roadways and tolls.” The council said it also will “support high-speed rail development in Texas and its superior safety history.” Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker has said the proposed rail project is “an integral part of our transportation future and it will include Tarrant County.” She said the project would greatly benefit Fort Worth, now the 12th largest city in the nation. Support of innovation in higher-speed transportation, transit, autonomous vehicles and freight is also on the priorities list. State Rep. John H. Bucy III, D-Austin, has filed a bill to direct TxDOT to enter a developmental agreement with a private company to build, maintain and operate a high-speed rail line between Dallas, Austin and San Antonio along Interstate 35, one of the state’s busiest highways. Through House Bill 483, Bucy also seeks to provide more state money for high-speed rail projects and other transportation initiatives, including passenger rail and bicycle lanes, since the Texas Constitution requires TxDOT to spend most of its budget on freeway construction and expansion. If approved, the bill would ask Texas voters to decide whether to amend the constitution to provide more money for transportation infrastructure rather than highways. “We need to be able to move people,” Bucy told the Texas Tribune . “We need to give people other options.” The effect of incoming President Donald Trump’s administration for federal transportation projects such as high-speed rail is not yet known. The Regional Transportation Council is also seeking dedicated funding for existing transportation authorities as well as providing tools to aid transit agencies as they support transit-related developments planned in North Texas, including the Fort Worth area. Officials also want to maintain local control over such projects. The council also will pursue the return of about $80 million in air quality user fees to counties for local initiatives. Traffic safety is a big part of the group’s legislative priorities. The council advocates lower excessive speed limits, including automated speed enforcement over 90 mph or in construction zones, reducing aggressive driving, increased enforcement of seat belt requirements and improved messaging in construction zones. The priorities list includes support of a budget rider so that metropolitan planning organizations can receive $100,000 per year for the next two years to complete a safety action plan. Leaders also will support the use of private-public partnerships for road projects and tolled managed lanes with local control. Counties and cities also want expanded tools for land use control to preserve future transportation corridors. Regional leaders will also support the continued collaboration between local governments, the military, state agencies and the Federal Aviation Administration to “advance regulations for compatible land use, infrastructure and the safe operations of unmanned aircraft.” Morris told members of the Regional Transportation Council on Dec. 12 that the FAA is considering North Texas for the site of its planned Center for Advanced Aviation Technologies since the federal agency has a southwest regional headquarters in north Fort Worth. The aviation agency is currently seeking input for the planned research and testing center, authorized under the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 approved by Congress and signed by President Joe Biden in May. The regional council said it will also support broadband expansion as a mode of transportation and legislation that improves air quality, including enhancement of the state’s emissions inspection and maintenance program, especially for heavy-duty trucks.

Move over Jose Mourinho, you're no longer the special one. Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos can now legitimately lay claim to that title. What Broos has done for this Bafana team since he walked out at OR Tambo International arrivals three years ago, is nothing short of phenomenal. When Bafana failed to qualify for Africa Cup of Nations 2021, the national team had reached yet another low. With then-coach Molefi Ntseki exiting stage left, Broos was swiftly appointed. Since the Belgian international hung up his playing boots in 1986, he moved to coaching two years later in his homeland. Since then, Broos has coached in over 900 games to make him one of the most experienced managers in global football. New generation rising up He's blooded a new generation of youngsters in Bafana, and already the country is reaping the rewards. Chief among those rewards was Bafana's bronze medal at Afcon in Cameroon earlier this year in February. Led by goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, Bafana came agonisingly close to reaching the final as they lost to Nigeria on penalties in the semis. They did,...
