By Milana Vinn NEW YORK (Reuters) – Logility Supply Chain Solutions, a maker of artificial intelligence-powered software that helps companies manage their inventories and supply chains, is exploring a sale, according to people familiar with the matter. The Atlanta, Georgia-based company, which was previously known as American Software and has a market value of about $400 million, is working with investment bank Lazard to gauge takeover interest from potential buyers, which include private equity-backed technology companies, the sources said, requesting anonymity as the discussions are confidential. The deliberations are at an early stage and the sources cautioned that no deal is guaranteed. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Shares of Logility jumped nearly 11% to touch a 52-week high after Reuters reported on the sale process on Wednesday. Logility provides software and technology tools that help large companies manage their inventory, manufacturing processes and supply chains. The company has more than 550 clients in 80 countries, according to its website. Its customers include large corporations including discount retail chain Big Lots, Twinkies maker Hostess Brands, underwear brand Jockey International, industrial giant Johnson Controls, and aerospace supplier Parker Hannifin. On Tuesday, investment firm 2717 Partners sent a letter to the company’s board, pushing them to explore strategic options. In October, the company rebranded itself as Logility and started trading under a new ticker symbol on the Nasdaq. Earlier this year, Logility eliminated its dual-class share structure, which previously allowed co-founder James Edenfield to control the company through his ownership of the special class of shares. Edenfield stepped down from his role as executive chairman of Logility in February.

Δ document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() );Well, this may be just for you: USA Football is holding talent identification camps all over the country to find that next flag football star. It's "America's Got Talent" meets "American Idol," with the stage being the field and the grand prize a chance to compete for a spot on a national team. Because it's never too early to start planning for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, where flag football will make its Summer Games debut. Know this, though — it's not an easy team to make. The men's and women's national team rosters are at "Dream Team" status given the men's side has captured six of the last seven world championships and the women three in a row. To remain on top, the sport's national governing body is scouring every football field, park, track, basketball court and gym to find hidden talent to cultivate. USA Football has organized camps and tryouts from coast to coast for anyone ages 11 to 23. There are more than a dozen sites set up so far, ranging from Dallas (Sunday) to Chicago (Dec. 14) to Tampa (March 29) to Los Angeles (TBD) and the Boston area (April 27), where it will be held at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots. The organization has already partnered with the NFL on flag football initiatives and programs. The numbers have been through the roof, with engagement on social media platforms increasing by 86% since flag football was announced as an Olympic invitational sport in October 2023. The participation of boys and girls ages 6 to 17 in flag football last year peaked at more than 1.6 million, according to USA Football research. "We pride ourselves on elevating the gold standard across the sport," said Eric Mayes, the managing director of the high performance and national teams for USA Football. "We want to be the best in the world — and stay the best in the world." Flag football was one of five new sports added to the LA28 program. The already soaring profile of American football only figures to be enhanced by an Olympic appearance. Imagine, say, a few familiar faces take the field, too. Perhaps even NFL stars such as Tyreek Hill or Patrick Mahomes, maybe even past pro football greats donning a flag belt for a country to which they may have ties. Soon after flag football's inclusion, there was chatter of NFL players possibly joining in on the fun. Of course, there are logistical issues to tackle before their inclusion at the LA Olympics, which open July 14, 2028. Among them, training camp, because the Olympics will be right in the middle of it. The big question is this: Will owners permit high-priced players to duck out for a gold-medal pursuit? No decisions have yet been made on the status of NFL players for the Olympics. For now, it's simply about growing the game. There are currently 13 states that sanction girls flag football as a high school varsity sport. Just recently, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles helped pave the way to get it adopted in Pennsylvania. Around the world, it's catching on, too. The women's team from Japan took third at the recent word championships, while one of the best players on the planet is Mexico quarterback Diana Flores. "Could flag football globally become the new soccer? That's something to aspire to," said Stephanie Kwok, the NFL's vice president of flag football. This type of flag football though, isn't your Thanksgiving Day game with family and friends. There's a learning curve. And given the small roster sizes, versatility is essential. Most national team members need to be a version of Colorado's two-way standout and Heisman hopeful Travis Hunter. Forget bump-and-run coverage, too, because there's no contact. None. That took some adjusting for Mike Daniels, a defensive back out of West Virginia who earned a rookie minicamp invitation with the Cleveland Browns in 2017. "If a receiver is running around, I'm thinking, 'OK, I can kind of bump him here and there and nudge him,'" Daniels explained. "They're like, 'No, you can't.' I'm just like, 'So I'm supposed to let this guy just run?!' I really rebelled at the idea at first. But you learn." The competition for an Olympic roster spot is going to be fierce because only 10 players are expected to make a squad. The best 10 will earn it, too, as credentials such as college All-American or NFL All-Pro take a backseat. "I would actually love" seeing NFL players try out, said Daniels, who's also a personal trainer in Miami. "I'm not going to let you just waltz in here, thinking, 'I played NFL football for five years. I'm popular. I have a huge name.' I'm still better than you and I'm going to prove it — until you prove otherwise." Around the house, Bruce Mapp constantly swivels his hips when turning a hallway corner or if his daughter tries to reach for a hug. It's his way of working on avoiding a "defender" trying to snare the flag. That approach has earned the receiver out of Coastal Carolina four gold medals with USA Football. The 31-year-old fully plans on going for more gold in Los Angeles. "You grow up watching Usain Bolt (win gold) and the 'Redeem Team' led by Kobe Bryant win a gold medal, you're always thinking, 'That's insane.' Obviously, you couldn't do it in your sport, because I played football," said Mapp, who owns a food truck in the Dallas area. "With the Olympics approaching, that (gold medal) is what my mind is set on." It's a common thought, which is why everything — including talent camps — starts now. "Everybody thinks, 'Yeah, the U.S. just wins,'" Daniels said. "But we work hard all the time. We don't just walk in. We don't just get off the bus thinking, 'We're going to beat people.'"

‘Squid Game’ Season 2 Cast: Pics of the Actors in the Netflix SeriesGiants release quarterback Daniel Jones just days after benching him EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Daniel Jones era in New York is over. The Giants quarterback was granted his release by the team just days after the franchise said it was benching him in favor of third-stringer Tommy DeVito. New York president John Mara said Jones approached the team about releasing him and the club obliged. Mara added he was “disappointed” at the quick dissolution of a once-promising relationship between Jones and the team. Giants coach Brian Daboll benched Jones in favor of DeVito following a loss to the Panthers in Germany that dropped New York's record to 2-8. Conor McGregor must pay $250K to woman who says he raped her, civil jury rules LONDON (AP) — A civil jury in Ireland has awarded more than $250,000 to a woman who says she was raped by mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor in a Dublin hotel penthouse after a night of heavy partying. The jury on Friday awarded Nikita Hand in her lawsuit that claimed McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her in 2018. The lawsuit says the assault left her heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. McGregor testified that he never forced her to do anything and that Hand fabricated her allegations after the two had consensual sex. McGregor says he will appeal the verdict. Week 16 game between Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers flexed to Thursday night spot The Los Angeles Chargers have played their way into another prime time appearance. Justin Herbert and company have had their Dec. 22 game against the Denver Broncos flexed to Thursday night, Dec. 19. Friday’s announcement makes this the first time a game has been flexed to the Thursday night spot. The league amended its policy last season where Thursday night games in Weeks 13 through 17 could be flexed with at least 28 days notice prior to the game. The matchup of AFC West division rivals bumps the game between the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals to Sunday afternoon. NBA memo to players urges increased vigilance regarding home security following break-ins MIAMI (AP) — The NBA is urging its players to take additional precautions to secure their homes following reports of recent high-profile burglaries of dwellings owned by Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis and Kansas City Chiefs teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. In a memo sent to team officials, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, the NBA revealed that the FBI has connected some burglaries to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices.” Brock Purdy will miss Sunday's game for the 49ers with a shoulder injury SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will miss Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers with a sore throwing shoulder. Purdy injured his right shoulder in last Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Purdy underwent an MRI that showed no structural damage but the shoulder didn’t improve during the week and Purdy was ruled out for the game. Coach Kyle Shanahan said star defensive end Nick Bosa also will miss the game with injuries to his left hip and oblique. Left tackle Trent Williams is questionable with an ankle injury and will be a game-time decision. Red Bull brings wrong rear wing to Las Vegas in mistake that could stall Verstappen's title chances LAS VEGAS (AP) — Max Verstappen is suddenly in jeopardy of being denied a fourth consecutive Formula 1 title Saturday night. Red Bull apparently brought the wrong rear wing to Las Vegas and GPS data showed its two cars to be significantly slower on the straights than both McLaren and Mercedes, which led both practice sessions. Red Bull says it doesn’t have a replacement rear wing in Las Vegas to fix the issue and little chance of getting two flown in from England ahead of the race. Lawyer says ex-Temple basketball standout Hysier Miller met with NCAA for hours amid gambling probe PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A lawyer for former Temple basketball standout Hysier Miller says the 22-year-old sat for a long interview with the NCAA amid an investigation into unusual gambling activity. But neither the lawyer nor federal law enforcement officials on Friday would confirm reports that a federal probe is now under way. Lawyer Jason Bologna says Miller cooperated because he hopes to play again. Miller was released last month after transferring to Virginia Tech. Temple President John Fry says the Philadelphia school has not been asked for any information from federal law enforcement officials. Caitlin Clark to join Cincinnati bid for 16th National Women's Soccer League team WNBA star Caitlin Clark has joined Cincinnati’s bid for an expansion National Women’s Soccer League team. Major League Soccer franchise FC Cincinnati is heading the group vying to bring a women’s pro team to the city. The club issued a statement confirming Clark had joined the bid group. NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman has said the league plans to announce the league’s 16th team by the end of the year. The league's 15th team will begin play in 2026 in Boston. Alyssa Nakken, first full-time female coach in MLB history, leaving Giants to join Guardians CLEVELAND (AP) — Alyssa Nakken, the first woman to coach in an MLB game, is leaving the San Francisco Giants to join the Cleveland Guardians. Nakken made history in 2022 when she took over as first-base coach following an ejection. A former college softball star at Sacramento State, Nakken joined the Giants in 2014 and was promoted to a spot on manager Gabe Kapler’s staff in 2020, becoming the majors’ first full-time female coach. Nakken has been hired as an assistant director within player development for the Guardians, who won the AL Central last season under first-year manager Stephen Vogt. Nakken, 34, will work with former Giants coaches Craig Albernaz and Kai Correa. Aaron Judge won't be bothered if Juan Soto gets bigger contract from Yankees than his $360M deal NEW YORK (AP) — Aaron Judge won’t be bothered if Juan Soto gets a bigger deal from the New York Yankees than the captain’s $360 million, nine-year contract. Speaking a day after he was a unanimous winner of his second MVP, Judge says “It ain’t my money” and adds "that’s never been something on my mind about who gets paid the most.” Judge led the major leagues with 58 homers, 144 RBIs and 133 walks while hitting .322. Soto batted .288 with 41 homers, 109 RBIs and 129 walks in his first season with the Yankees, then became a free agent at age 26.

NoneDeclassified files show the note to former MP John Spellar also said the republican party had ignored the “visceral component of sectarianism” in responding to a new government good relations strategy. Mr Spellar, then a Northern Ireland Office minister, had launched a consultation on the “A Shared Future” document, an attempt to address community divisions, segregation and sectarianism in the region at a time when the devolved powersharing institutions were suspended. A file at the Public Record Office in Belfast shows that OFMDFM official Chris Stewart wrote to the minister in July about a response to the document from Sinn Fein representative Bairbre de Brun. Mr Stewart told Mr Spellar that Ms de Brun’s letter had been critical of the document and was clearly intended to “mark your card”. He said among a number of points raised by de Brun was that “the promotion of equality is the key to improving community relations”. His memo adds: “Sinn Fein is clearly seeking to position or align the issue of community relations within its equality and human rights agenda. “This general Sinn Fein position has resulted in a simplistic analysis of community relations, which is flawed in its description of the causes and necessary policy response. “There is of course, no doubt that a lack of equality has been a contributing factor to poor community relations. “However, Sinn Fein ignores the many other factors, not least the violent conflict that resulted in over 3,000 deaths. “Sinn Fein also portrays poor community relations (for nationalists) as being a purely rational response to the political situation. “This ignores the more visceral component of sectarianism, which is all too prevalent in both communities.” Mr Stewart continues: “To suggest, as Sinn Fein does, that the promotion of equality should be the key component of good relations policy is to ignore the key message in A Shared Future, that indirect approaches alone are insufficient to deal with sectarianism and the abnormal relationship between sections of the Northern Ireland community.” The official recommended the minister invite representatives of Sinn Fein to a meeting to discuss the policy. The file also contains a note about Mr Spellar’s meeting with DUP representatives Maurice Morrow and Peter Weir the following month to discuss the document. The note says: “Morrow said he had no problem with sharing the future and suggested that the first step to that would be an election to decide who spoke for whom – though he was quick to say he didn’t want politics to dominate the meeting.” It adds: “Weir said that the biggest step towards improving community relations would be the creation of a political environment that had the broad support of both unionism and nationalism, and the GFA (Good Friday Agreement) could not create that environment.”Unless you’re planning to whisk them away on a camping trip, fishing excursion, biking tour or safari, finding the right gifts for outdoorsy people can feel like an uphill climb (pun intended). If you’re not the take-a-hike type yourself, don’t worry — all it takes is a little bit of getting your head in the game. The key is to think of practical presents that tap into their wanderlust or connect with their call of the wild, whether it’s something incredibly useful or delightfully adventurous.

So trust me — I know what the nature enthusiast on your list will love this holiday. Here are my all-time favorite gifts for outdoor lovers, plus new finds that have me (and my fellow adventurers) hoping to make an extra good impression on Santa this year. On one camping excursion a friend broke this little baby out and it was met with gasps and awe. It's so compact! It's so practical! It's such a smart design! Any camper who isn't satisfied eating reconstituted mac and cheese knows that spices can make or break a backcountry meal. We all want to be rustic — but bland food? We aren't animals. There is so much more than meets the eye when it comes to this lightweight little doodad. It breaks into three double-sided compartments, so you can carry SIX spices with you on the trails. Give them the gift of exploration! This all-access pass offers entry to over 2,000 recreation areas managed by six federal agencies, including the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Land Management. It's valid for 12 months, offering up to 365 days of outdoor goodness. Whether they are hikers or backpackers or just love to explore short strolls in the woods, this is the penultimate trail map app. AllTrails+ will take their exploration to the next level while keeping them safe along the way. With over 450,000 trail maps worldwide, it’s a must-have for any adventurer. The Plus membership lets them download offline maps, get real-time turn alerts (for when they go off-trail), receive weather updates, and access 200+ National Park guides. Problem: Carrying a sufficient amount of water on any major outdoor excursion is heavy. Solution: This lightweight filter that makes suspect streams, nasty ponds and just about any water source you might encounter instantly potable. This simple-to-use doodad removes 99.99999% of parasites, bacteria, microplastics and all of that silt and cloudiness that makes certain water too scummy to drink. A potentially life-saving gizmo that's perfectly-sized to stuff a Christmas stocking? Sold. This travel towel is the best of all worlds — it's made of super soft and ultra-absorbent micro suede. It repels sand and, while it sucks up water faster and more efficiently than typical terry cloth, it rapidly dries in the sun. It's lightweight and packs down to about the size of a 6-inch submarine sandwich, making it highly portable as well. For a thoughtful and sentimental gift for the outdoorsy person in your life, this customizable collage celebrates what's most important to them in a sweet and unique work of art. The one-of-a-kind piece is handmade by the artist and can be personalized with details like hair color, pack colors and names — and you can even include pets! The result? A beautifully unique keepsake that they can admire and daydream over. After a long day of adventuring outdoors, these comfy slides are a well-deserved campsite or trailhead treat for your feet. The flexible, cushiony footbed is a salve for your sole. (Soul? Nah, sole.) But my favorite part? The back of the shoe is soft and collapsable, so they convert from sneaker to slipper in seconds. Great for those middle-of-the-night runs to the loo when you don't want to fuss with laces, but the ground is too cold for shower shoes. Sure, people may argue that socks are a boring gift, but any outdoors person will tell you we live for a great pair. This Vermont-made brand makes some of the most talked about socks on the market (a sentence I never thought I'd write): They're cushiony without being restricting; they're warm but lightweight and never make your feet feel sweaty. And they dry quickly, for when your traverse across a stream ends in disaster. The best gift I ever got my husband was this collapsible camp kitchen. Prepping dinner on a dirty campsite table is chaotic and — let’s be real — pretty gross. This setup is the ideal height to keep little hands and paws away from the action and has just the right amount of compartments to keep everything organized and within reach. It folds flat for easy travel and, best of all, it’ll inspire whoever you gift it to to handle all the cooking. Win! These things are the best. Yes, they are a must-have on ski slopes and during ice climbs, but they are also a very-nice-to-have during camping trips or post surf-sessions when they are trying to bring their body temps back up to normal. They're a First Aid kit gem. Ten come in this pack, so your recipient can be a little indulgent. Maybe they're new to kayaking. Maybe they're short on space. Either way, this inflatable is the gift they need to get all of the seafaring adventures they dream of underway. This all-in-one setup is easy to assemble and will have them in the water in no time. It's highly rated for stability, in case they're not quite expert-level and more kayaking-curious. And if you're gifting a couple, there's a ! Weather resistant with enough power to last 110 (!!) hours, this genius headlamp has a dual battery system, allowing you to juice it up but bring AAAs for longer excursions. Choose from three white levels and a red light (particularly useful as a safety feature, should the user get lost in the woods). A charge indicator lets you know when battery is running low and a lock function ensures it won't accidentally turn on when it's hanging out at the bottom of your bag. Up to 450 lumens of light can cut through even the most dense fog. Plus, the design lets it sit as comfortably on your forehead as it will on a bike or ski helmet. This is the créme de la créme of headlamps — you'll find others that cost more, but this is a beast with all the bells and whistles they could ever need. Picture this: The sun is setting, an invigorating chill is in the air, the s'mores fixings are ready — and the darn fire won't start. This kit has everything they need to get cookin' — stat — in one convenient, packable package. They'll receive matches in a waterproofed shell, a fire-starting flint and some cotton kindling to get those flames roaring faster than someone can say, "pass the chocolate!" In case you haven't noticed a trend in my gift suggestions, I'm very into s'mores. There's something to be said for finding the perfect stick to skewer your marshmallows, but that all goes when your trusty tool catches fire. These telescoping, dual-pronged sticks are ideal for getting your marshmallows, hot dogs, veggies — whatever — roasting at a respectable (and safe) distance, and they'll never turn into accidental kindling if your attention veers off. Each has a rotation wheel that ensures even roasting. When done, the whole set of five collapses and fits into a handy storage bag. What if we told you their campsite coffee game is about to get a whole lot better? It's time for them to ditch that muddy instant brew. The Aeropress is the ultimate for traveling light — and it makes a truly fantastic, full-bodied cup of joe (seriously, love this thing). Compact and convenient, it'll elevate every sunrise. While we're on the subject of coffee, they'll need speedy access to piping hot water to get a great cuppa going on a cold morning. Boiling H20 over a camp stove can be a grueling and arduous task when you've got cold fingertips. This super-fast gadget can boil water in 100 seconds — even in sub-zero temperatures. Plus, it's lightweight and breaks down to be compact enough to backpack with. Not a coffee fan? They'll love you for helping them have hot water at the ready when they're prepping their or . This small pad is something folks wouldn't think to buy for themselves, but once they try it they'll be hooked. It's lightweight, packs small and cleans up easily. I could go on about the virtues of this unassuming yet indispensable piece of equipment, but I'll let a reviewer explain why it's so great. "I use mine to sit on, as a back rest, as a clean surface area when preparing food, to stand on when changing pants (so sock or barefoot doesn't get dirty), to rest my bare feet on outside the tent when removing boots (again, preventing them, and the inside of the tent, from getting dirty), as an extra sleeping pad layer under my hips (side sleepers rejoice!), as a wrap, around my dirty/wet sandals when affixing to the outside of my pack and on and on." The great outdoors lends itself to unplugging and getting away from tech but — pics or it didn't happen. This handy clip is small, rugged and attaches to any backpack strap to turn it into a handy camera mount. Why does your resident shutterbug need this? Carrying an SLR or DSLR around your neck can cause fatigue, plus, it puts a camera in a precarious spot where precious lenses can get knocked around. This keeps the camera stable and secure, and eager to grab the second that must-get shot comes into view. The glare of the sun on sand, snow or surf can be a real downer on an outdoorsy day. These ultra-polarized sunnies are featherweight yet highly protective. The brand's make for some incredible eye protection that will have them ditching their Oakleys — for real. A combo of crisp clarity and superior glare reduction make for a pretty fantastic optical experience. Add to it the impact and scratch-resistant lenses and you get adventure-ready specs that should last for years. The thing that makes these stand out from the pack? They're astonishingly lightweight. It's tough to get this kind of protection with non-glass lenses, but these pull it off, making them an excellent choice for long days of wear. Since they are so lightweight, may we suggest so they don't fly off? Feeling swampy when adventuring is a deal-breaker — no matter what his activity of choice, staying dry is key to staying comfortable. This quick-drying, super-soft workout shirt has an anti-stink, anti-cling design that's ideal for the guy who likes to push himself while exploring the world. Plus, the odor-busting technology is a game-changer for when he's packing light and needs a top that'll withstand numerous wears before being washed. Your outdoorsy friend doesn't want a tennis bracelet. Instead gift them a (sorta) piece of jewelry that will help them be prepared for the elements. A fully functioning compass, a fire starter, a loud whistle (should they get lost) and paracord make this a wildly practical survival tool. For the camper who loves to whip up meals, this portable kitchen system takes Solo Stove’s signature smokeless fire pit and shrinks it down to a compact, go-anywhere size. The kit comes with everything they'll need: a 900ml cook pot, windscreen, carry case, alcohol burner and fire striker. Weighing just over half a pound, this lightweight, fuel-free option is basically s'mores-ready (see, I'm talking about s'mores again!). Carrying a cooler is backbreaking work. This 32-gallon wheeled winner will let them roll into the party with up to 50 cans. It's big enough to store everything they need for a campout or tailgate but small enough to fit in the trunk of a Prius (tested by yours truly). I can attest that everything will stay cool (from said cans to hot dogs and anything else) for up to 48 hours. Maybe she can't always get to the mountains, but this lovely charm will always remind her where her heart is. Each one of these wearable pieces of art is handcrafted from clay to show a vignette of one of nine national parks — from Joshua Tree to Grand Teton. This is a slam-dunk gift. The breathable, quick-dry, SPF 50 neck and head covering can scrunch down to be a scarf on cooler days or accordion out on scorchers. They can dip it in water to keep cool, cover their nose on dusty trails and pull it over their hair to tame sweaty strands. It's indispensable and comes in dozens of colors and styles. This top is so soft you'll feel like you're slipping into silk — yet it performs better than silk ever could on a trail. The breathable fabric will keep them warm without overheating no matter what adventure they may find themselves on — and it dries quickly, should they work up a sweat. This piece is ideal for layering and makes a perfect mid-layer for shoulder season hikes. Doesn't matter if they already have a fleece — this gorgeous pullover is the upgrade they didn't know they needed. It's warm, it's well-made and, quite frankly, the print is stunning. Made by Patagonia (a darling in the outdoorsy community), it's almost entirely made of recycled double-sided fleece, ensuring supreme softness inside and out. Like all Patagonia gear, it's made responsibly in a fair trade-certified factory. We're big fans of the chevron-style pattern, but if you think their style veers elsewhere, it comes in nine other options. True story: I thought my hiking days were behind me. A series of ankle rolls meant I needed a highly structured boot. In my experience that tended to translate as restrictive and blister-inducing, which ruined the experience. My friend Karilyn Owen, a travel blogger at with a strong focus on backpacking and hiking, recommended I try these and I’m so glad I did. Not only are they highly supportive, they are ludicrously comfortable. Unlike many competitors they maintain enough cushion to keep you comfortable even during multi-day treks. But that cushioning doesn’t become a liability: You can actually feel the ground beneath you, which is so important when navigating hidden roots and rocks. And the soles are grippy — they can almost double as rock climbing shoes. I’ve tried them all: Hokas, Merrills, Vasques, Salomons — not only are these the most comfortable (and blister-free!), they're the most stable. Rarely would I recommend you gift something so subjective as a hiking boot, but — for these — I’ll make an exception. In a previous life I tested outdoor gear for a living. When it came to kids' sleeping bags, year after year after year and test after test after test, the REI Kindercone came out on top. Its size makes it ideal for little ones under 5 feet tall, and it has loads of kid-friendly features, like an anti-snag zipper, an adjustable mummy hood and an extra-puffy draft tube to keep cold air out and warm air in. It's machine washable, which is clutch when you're potty training or a mischievous sweet tooth sneaks their s'mores into the sack and falls asleep with it. (MY kid.) All that is well and good but my favorite feature? The attached stuff sack, so it'll never get lost, no matter what level of chaos your child courts. A small pack is essential for keeping half-pints happy on the trails, and this one is just the right size. The internal bladder helps teach little adventurers to stay hydrated early on. It has enough pockets and daisy chains to keep things organized without going crazy with compartments. This thing is built to last; my kid has had his for four years and it's held up beautifully. Know a kid who's struggling with biking? Guardian models are made just for this purpose. The brake design and pedal system allow little ones to put all of the pieces together to gain the confidence they need to soar. The patented Sure Stop brake system ensures they won't flip over the handlebars and the ultra-lightweight frame makes it a snap to maneuver. Yup, another sleeping bag. Got a kid encroaching on (or maybe surpassing) the 5-foot-tall mark? The Kelty Mistral has been my son's favorite since his last growth spurt and, at 5'2", it's my pick too. (It's so affordable I got one for myself!) Sleeping in this bag is nothing short of cloud-like. The extra-long, 19-inch footbed allows for plenty of growth spurts before you need to size up.

NDP will not support Liberal GST holiday bill unless rebate expanded: Singh OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will not support a Liberal plan to give Canadians a GST holiday and $250 unless the government expands eligibility for the cheques, saying the rebate leaves out "the most vulnerable. David Baxter, The Canadian Press Nov 26, 2024 3:16 PM Nov 26, 2024 3:35 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh speaks to reporters in the foyer of the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on November 25, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will not support a Liberal plan to give Canadians a GST holiday and $250 unless the government expands eligibility for the cheques, saying the rebate leaves out "the most vulnerable." The Liberals announced a plan last week to cut the federal sales tax on a raft of items like toys and restaurant meals for two months, and to give $250 to more than 18.7 million Canadians in the spring. Speaking after a Canadian Labour Congress event in Ottawa, Singh says he's open to passing the GST legislation, but the rebate needs to include seniors, students, people who are on disability benefits and those who were not able to work last year. Singh says he initially supported the idea because he thought the rebate cheques would go to anyone who earned under $150,000 last year. But the so-called working Canadians rebate will be sent to those who had an income, leaving out people Singh says need the help. The government intends to include the measures in the fall economic statement, which has not yet been introduced in the House of Commons. The proposed GST holiday would begin in mid-December, lasting for two months. It would remove the GST on prepared foods at grocery stores, some alcoholic drinks, children's clothes and toys, Christmas trees, restaurant meals, books, video games and physical newspapers. A privilege debate has held up all government business in the House since late September, with the Conservatives pledging to continue a filibuster until the government hands over unredacted documents related to misspending at a green technology fund. The NDP said last week they had agreed to pause the privilege debate in order to pass the legislation to usher in the GST holiday. Singh said Tuesday that unless there are changes to the proposed legislation, he will not support pausing the debate. The Bloc Québécois is also pushing for the rebates to be sent to seniors and retirees. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024.

Premier Eby says Canada must negotiate from position of strength on U.S. tariff Nov 26, 2024 2:45 PM Featured FlyerAlex Ovechkin has a broken left fibula and is expected to be out four to six weeks, an injury that pauses the Washington Capitals superstar captain’s pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s NHL career goals record. The Capitals updated Ovechkin’s status Thursday after he was evaluated by team doctors upon returning from a three-game trip. The 39-year-old broke the leg in a shin-on-shin collision Monday night with Utah's Jack McBain, and some of his closest teammates knew it was not good news even before Ovechkin was listed as week to week and placed on injured reserve. “Everyone’s bummed out,” said winger Tom Wilson, who has played with Ovechkin since 2013. “We were sitting there saying: ‘This is weird. Like, it’s unbelievable that he’s actually hurt.’ It’s one of those things where like, he’s going to miss games? I’ve been around a long time, and it’s new to me.” Ovechkin in his first 19 seasons missed 59 games — and just 35 because of injury. Durability even while throwing his body around with his physical style is a big reason he is on track to pass Gretzky’s mark of 894 goals that once looked unapproachable. “He doesn’t go out there and just coast around,” Wilson said. “He’s played 20 years every shift running over guys and skating. He’s a power forward, the best goal-scorer ever maybe, and he’s a power forward that plays the game really hard.” Ovechkin surged to the top of the league with 15 goals in his first 18 games this season. He was on pace to break the record and score No. 895 sometime in February. “You know when goal-scorers start scoring, it’s dangerous,” said defenseman John Carlson, who has been teammates with Ovechkin since 2009-10. “There was a bit of that in the downs that everyone was feeling about it too, of course. We see him coming to the rink every day, we know what’s at stake. You never want anyone to get injured, but there’s a lot to it and certainly he was playing his best hockey in years.” AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhlDejan Kulusevski cannot wait to play Man City again after Tottenham run riot

The latest development came hours after thousands of his supporters, defying government warnings, broke through a barrier of shipping containers blocking off Islamabad and entered a high-security zone, where they clashed with security forces, facing tear gas shelling, mass detentions and gunfire. Tension has been high in Islamabad since Sunday when supporters of the former PM began a “long march” from the restive north-west to demand his release. Khan has been in a prison for more than a year and faces more than 150 criminal cases that his party says are politically motivated. Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, led the protest, but she fled as police pushed back against demonstrators. Hundreds of Khan’s supporters are being arrested in the ongoing night-time operation. Interior minister Mohsin Naqvi told reporters that the Red Zone, which houses government buildings and embassies, and the surrounding areas have been cleared. Leaders from Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, or PTI, have also fled the protest site. Earlier on Tuesday, Pakistan’s army took control of D-Chowk, a large square in the Red Zone, where visiting Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is staying. Since Monday, Mr Naqvi had threatened that security forces would use live fire if protesters fired weapons at them. “We have now authorised the police to respond as necessary,” Mr Naqvi said Tuesday while visiting the square. Before the operation began, protester Shahzor Ali said people had taken to the streets because Khan had called for them. “We will stay here until Khan joins us. He will decide what to do next,” Mr Ali said. Protester Fareeda Bibi, who is not related to Khan’s wife, said people have suffered greatly for the last two years. “We have really suffered for the last two years, whether it is economically, politically or socially. We have been ruined. I have not seen such a Pakistan in my life,” she said. Authorities have struggled to contain the protest-related violence. Six people, including four members of the security services, were killed when a vehicle rammed them on a street overnight into Tuesday. A police officer died in a separate incident. Dozens of Khan supporters beat a videographer covering the protest for the Associated Press and took his camera. He sustained head injuries and was treated in hospital. By Tuesday afternoon, fresh waves of protesters made their way unopposed to their final destination in the Red Zone. Mr Naqvi said Khan’s party had rejected a government offer to rally on the outskirts of the city. Information minister Atta Tarar warned there would be a severe government reaction to the violence. The government says only the courts can order Khan’s release. He was ousted in 2022 through a no-confidence vote in Parliament. In a bid to foil the unrest, police have arrested more than 4,000 Khan supporters since Friday and suspended mobile and internet services in some parts of the country. Messaging platforms were also experiencing severe disruption in the capital. Khan’s party relies heavily on social media and uses messaging platforms such as WhatsApp to share information, including details of events. The X platform, which is banned in Pakistan, is no longer accessible, even with a VPN. Last Thursday, a court prohibited rallies in the capital and Mr Naqvi said anyone violating the ban would be arrested. Travel between Islamabad and other cities has become nearly impossible because of shipping containers blocking the roads. All education institutions remain closed.

Trump’s eldest son emerges as key voice influencing cabinet picks WASHINGTON: Donald Trump Jr has emerged as the most influential Trump family member in the transition as the president-elect builds the most controversial cabinet in modern US history, according to a half dozen sources with knowledge of his role, elevating inexperienced loyalists over more qualified candidates for top positions in his administration. Trump, who fiercely prizes loyalty, has long relied on family members for political advice, but which relative has his ear is known to vary. This time, it is Don Jr, who has helped cabinet contenders sink or rise to the fore - from championing Senator JD Vance as Trump’s running mate to blocking former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from joining the cabinet, according to the sources, who include donors, personal friends and political allies. Don Jr is due to join conservative venture capital fund 1789 Capital, although one of the sources said he will continue to host his politics-focused podcast and support candidates that espouse Trump’s brand of politics. He will provide advice to his father in the White House, the source added, although they cautioned that Don Jr was unlikely to be involved in day-to-day deliberations. Don Jr and the Trump-Vance transition team did not respond to a request for comment. In addition to ensuring candidates are loyal to his father, Don Jr typically seeks out contenders who embrace an anti-establishment worldview, including protectionist economic policies, and a reduction in military interventions and overseas aid, according to a handful of the sources and Don Jr’s own comments on social media site X and in public. Don Jr was also instrumental in lobbying his father to pick his close friend Vance as Trump’s running mate. Vance was popular with Trump’s base, but his anti-corporate rhetoric, opposition to Ukraine aid and past comments panning some Democratic women as “childless cat ladies” gave some donors and supporters pause. Trump was ultimately happy with Vance, giving Don Jr extra political capital as an adviser during the transition, one of the sources added. Not all of Don Jr’s picks have landed jobs. He was keen on Ric Grenell, a personal friend and former ambassador to Germany, getting secretary of state, according to a separate source familiar with the matter. His father ended up picking Senator Marco Rubio, whose views are deemed by Trump’s core supporters as too traditional and internationalist. Two of the sources close to Don Jr said he does not weigh in on all personnel decisions and is not working on the transition process or at Mar-a-Lago full time.
