Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save Artificial intelligence. Abortion. Guns. Marijuana. Minimum wages. Name a hot topic, and chances are good there's a new law about it taking effect in 2025 in one state or another. Many of the laws launching in January are a result of legislation passed this year. Others stem from ballot measures approved by voters. Some face legal challenges. Here's a look at some of the most notable state laws taking effect: FILE - Director of Photography Jac Cheairs and his son, actor Wyatt Cheairs, 11, take part in a rally by striking writers and actors outside Netflix studio in Los Angeles on Friday, July 14, 2023. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File) California, home to Hollywood and some of the largest technology companies, is seeking to rein in the artificial intelligence industry and put some parameters around social media stars. New laws seek to prevent the use of digital replicas of Hollywood actors and performers without permission and allow the estates of dead performers to sue over unauthorized AI use.

(Eric Kayne/AP Images for ParentsTogether, File) New social media restrictions in several states face court challenges. A Florida law bans children under 14 from having social media accounts and requires parental consent for ages 14 and 15. But enforcement is being delayed because of a lawsuit filed by two associations for online companies, with a hearing scheduled for late February. A new Tennessee law also requires parental consent for minors to open accounts on social media. NetChoice, an industry group for online businesses, is challenging the law. Another new state law requires porn websites to verify that visitors are at least 18 years old. But the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry, has filed a challenge. Several new California measures aimed at combating political deepfakes are also being challenged, including one requiring large social media platforms to remove deceptive content related to elections and another allowing any individual to sue for damages over the use of AI to create fabricated images or videos in political ads.

One of the latest is the Democratic-led state of Delaware. A law there will require the state employee health plan and Medicaid plans for lower-income residents to cover abortions with no deductible, copayments or other cost-sharing requirements. FILE - Gov.

(Jeff Wheeler/Star Tribune via AP, File) A new Minnesota law prohibits guns with "binary triggers" that allow for more rapid fire, causing a weapon to fire one round when the trigger is pulled and another when it is released. In Delaware, a law adds colleges and universities to a list of school zones where guns are prohibited, with exceptions for those working in their official capacity such as law officers and commissioned security guards. Kentucky is becoming the latest state to let people use marijuana for medical purposes. To apply for a state medical cannabis card, people must get written certification from a medical provider of a qualifying condition, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, epilepsy, chronic nausea or post-traumatic stress disorder. Nearly four-fifths of U.S. states have now legalized medical marijuana. Minimum wage workers in more than 20 states are due to receive raises in January. The highest minimum wages will be in Washington, California and Connecticut, all of which will top $16 an hour after modest increases. The largest increases are scheduled in Delaware, where the minimum wage will rise by $1.75 to $15 an hour, and in Nebraska, where a ballot measure approved by voters in 2022 will add $1.50 to the current minimum of $12 an hour. Twenty other states still follow the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. FILE - A man talks on his cell phone while driving in Los Angeles, Monday June 30, 2008. (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian, File) In Oregon, using drugs on public transit will be considered a misdemeanor crime of interfering with public transportation. While the measure worked its way through the legislature, multiple transportation officials said drug use on buses and trains, and at transit stops and stations, was making passengers and drivers feel less safe. In Missouri, law enforcement officers have spent the past 16 months issuing warnings to motorists that handheld cellphone use is illegal. Starting with the new year, penalties will kick in: a $150 fine for the first violation, progressing to $500 for third and subsequent offenses and up to 15 years imprisonment if a driver using a cellphone cause an injury or death. But police must notice a primary violation, such as speeding or weaving across lanes, to cite motorists for violating the cellphone law. Montana is the only state that hasn't banned texting while driving, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

(Evert Nelson/The Capital-Journal via AP, File) Tenants in Arizona will no longer have to pay tax on their monthly rent, thanks to the repeal of a law that had allowed cities and towns to impose such taxes. While a victory for renters, the new law is a financial loss for governments. An analysis by Arizona's nonpartisan Joint Legislative Budget Committee estimated that $230 million would be lost in municipal tax revenue during the first full fiscal year of implementation. Meanwhile Alabama will offer tax credits to businesses that help employees with child care costs. Kansas is eliminating its 2% sales tax on groceries. It also is cutting individual income taxes by dropping the top tax rate, increasing a credit for child care expenses and exempting all Social Security income from taxes, among other things. Taxpayers are expected to save about $320 million a year going forward.

Former state Sen. George Young, an Oklahoma City Democrat, carried the bill in the Senate. "I think it's very important that people who have gone through trials and tribulations in their life, that we have a system that brings them back and allows them to participate as contributing citizens," Young said.

Gov. Chris Sununu swears in House lawmakers for the 2025 to 2026 legislative biennium on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024. (Ethan DeWitt | New Hampshire Bulletin) Two Londonderry Republicans will lead the New Hampshire House and Senate for the next two years, after being formally voted in by their peers Wednesday. Sherman Packard was reelected House speaker, beginning his third term in the job with a much more comfortable legislative majority than the last term. And Sen. Sharon Carson was chosen to be Senate president, overseeing a 16-8 Republican-controlled chamber and succeeding longtime Sen. Jeb Bradley, who is retiring this year. The elections were part of Organization Day, when newly elected senators and representatives are sworn into office, and the House and Senate choose the secretary of state and state treasurer. Here’s what you need to know. Introducing Packard before voting began, Rep. Lisa Mazur, a Goffstown Republican, praised Packard’s legislative priorities. “With his extensive experience, he has championed legislation that supports parental rights, strengthens our economy, safeguards personal freedoms, and ensures that every tax dollar is spent wisely,” she said. Rep. Ted Gorski, a Bedford Republican, drew attention to what he said were Packard’s evenhanded temperament and skills at conflict resolution. “Recently, Sherm and I had a difference of opinion on an issue, and after the issue played out, we were emailing back and forth, and I decided to call Sherm, but Sherm beat me to the punch,” he said. “He actually called me, and we had a great conversation. As the call ended, it was evident to me that Sherm would not harbor any bad feelings, but his goal was to maintain the relationship.” In his own speech, Packard called for civility between members of both parties. “We’ve got two tough years ahead of us,” he said. “Philosophically, in many cases, we are going to have different opinions on subject matter. ... But by God, that doesn’t mean we can’t be civil and friendly and cooperate with each other when we are on the same page.” Packard urged special caution around social media practices, saying he wished Facebook and Twitter – now called X – didn’t exist. And, he said, “my door is open.” Democrats nominated Rep. Alexis Simpson, of Exeter, as speaker. She lost that bid but will be the House Democratic leader, succeeding Rep. Matt Wilhelm, of Manchester, who is continuing to serve as a representative. “Whatever it is, whatever bill you want to pass and send to the governor’s desk, you cannot do it alone,” Simpson said in her own election speech. “None of us can. We need to work together in this body to make the changes that we envision.” Following House rules, the speaker was elected via a secret ballot. With 388 representatives casting votes, 202 votes went to Packard, 162 went to Simpson, 17 were scattered votes for other candidates, and 7 ballots were left blank. Carson, who won by unanimous vote in the Senate, promised to work to “preserve and expand the New Hampshire advantage, ensuring that our state remains a place where families thrive, businesses grow, and communities flourish.” “I am energized by the work ahead together. We have an opportunity to build on the traditions of civility and collaboration that makes this chamber truly unique,” she said. Sen. Rebecca Perkins-Kwoka, a Portsmouth Democrat and the Senate minority leader, seconded the motion to elect Carson. “I hope there will be things we can work together on this session,” she said. “Such as: We all know our residents need housing. We all know our businesses need workforce. And we all know our families need child care.” More from this section The House and Senate reelected Dave Scanlan as secretary of state and Monica Mezzapelle as state treasurer. Neither were contested. Accepting his election, Scanlan said the past two years had been “busy.” “We have had a lot of successes, but the largest one is in preserving the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, which is something that everybody in this room gets behind,” Scanlan said. “We faced the largest challenge to the primary in the primary’s history, and I think the aftermath is still as relevant as it ever has been.” In a nomination speech for Mezzapelle, Sen. Cindy Rosenwald, a Nashua Democrat, praised her “sound professional judgement on borrowing,” which she said had contributed to New Hampshire’s S&P Global Ratings increase from AA to AA+ in March, “which will save the state millions.” “She’s been incredibly successful here with interest coming in $85 million ahead of plan for last fiscal year and $46 million ahead of plan for the current year today,” Rosenwald added. Mezzapelle, who has served in the role since 2020, said the pandemic had provided economic challenges and opportunities for the state. “One of the key takeaways for me is the importance of being prepared,” Mezzapelle said. “The need to assess risks and develop policies and plans that can guide us during good and also not-so-good times.” The 2025 session has not yet begun, but there is already a special election needed. Rep. Dawn Evans, a Democrat from Somersworth, has resigned her seat because she has moved out of her district. Her resignation letter was read by House Clerk Paul Smith Wednesday. The resignation changes the balance of the House to 221 Republicans, 177 Democrats, and one independent; Somersworth officials will need to schedule a special election to fill the seat soon. As the housing shortage continues unabated, the New Hampshire House now has a permanent committee dedicated to housing bills. That came about as part of a rule change, and is a response to what Deputy Speaker Steven Smith called a growing need. “I think both sides want this,” he said. “I know the public wants us to do it.” The House also moved to divide a longstanding committee – the Education Committee – into two separate committees. Those will be the Committee on Education Policy and Administration and the Committee on Education Funding. Smith argued the change was needed because there are so many education-related bills that lawmakers on the Education Committee are being inundated. And the Senate has created a new permanent committee, too: the Committee on Children and Family Law. The body did not detail the reasons for the creation of its committee. On Wednesday, the House and the Senate both adopted a set of ethics rules proposed by the Legislative Ethics Committee that will require lawmakers to recuse themselves from far more votes than before. Spurred by a law passed by the Legislature in 2024, House Bill 1388 , the new ethics rules prevent lawmakers from voting on bills if they have a personal conflict of interest or if they or a family member could expect to benefit – or suffer – financially if the bill were to pass or fail. A lawmaker who requires recusal is “someone who founded the company or organization,” is “a substantial contributor,” is paid based on the revenues of the organization, has control over the organization’s expenses or budget, or who owns a controlling interest in that organization. While the Senate passed the new rules easily, the House had some hiccups. Some Republican lawmakers requested that the vote be postponed by a month – or tabled – because they said they had not had enough time to read and review the final ethics changes. But those lawmakers failed to achieve the votes necessary to do so and the ethics rules moved ahead.Feminist ideology in India’s constitutional discourse

LINCOLN — Amid what he called “angst” over the departure of a successful defensive coordinator, Nebraska coach Matt Rhule on Wednesday named an interim replacement for Tony White while resisting any firm timeline for hiring the permanent guy. “I have no timetable other than to get it right,” Rhule said as part of his Signing Day press conference. “Just to make it right.” White left Monday for the same job at Florida State. Defensive backs coach John Butler, a longtime NFL assistant who also coordinated Penn State’s defense in 2013, will oversee the Husker defense in a bowl game later this month. Butler is also a candidate for the permanent role, Rhule said, and ran the unit in Wednesday’s practice. “I’ve had a lot of players come into me and voice their opinions,” Rhule said. “A lot of guys love John on the staff, on the team.” Whether Butler or some other coach fills the coordinator role, Rhule intends to continue running the 3-3-5 system Whie brought with him from Syracuse. The scheme favors aggressive blitz scheme and can be hard for opposing offenses to decipher when rushing the ball. “I don’t want to switch to something different,” Rhule said. “I want to do this defense. Whoever that is, I don’t want to make that decision for the short term — where we all feel good about it — and I don’t want to make a ‘splashy’ hire.” Two years ago White fit that bill coming from Syracuse. In two seasons at NU, he coordinated national top-20 defenses in both points and yards per game allowed. On Sunday, two days after his defense allowed just 164 yards in a 13-10 loss to Iowa, Rhule said White came to him and desired to take the Florida State job for “family reasons.” Terrance Knighton, the team’s defensive line coach, has left, too, according to reports and his own X social media account, although Rhule deemed Knighton still “with” the team on Wednesday. The same was true of receivers coach Garret McGuire, who has the option, Rhule said, to remain with the team in an adjusted role after Rhule made official the hire of Kentucky receivers coach Daikiel Shorts, who had previously played and coached under new Nebraska offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. “It was Dana’s only request,” Rhule said. Holgorsen would like to retain offensive line coach Donovan Raiola, quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas, running backs coach EJ Barthel and tight ends coach Marcus Satterfield, demoted in early November from the playcaller role. Shorts, Rhule said, is a strong recruiter who understands Holgorsen’s system. “The offense will be better,” that it had been for the first 21 games of his tenure, Rhule said, thanks Holgorsen’s addition and more time in the system. Nebraska’s defense will continue to play well, Rhule said, regardless of the coordinator. “Did I want Tony to leave? No. But it’s OK,” Rhule said. “Coaches are going to leave. If we have good players and we have good coaches, people are going to come try to get them. If no one’s trying to take our players and no one’s trying takes our coaches, that means we’re in trouble. “So that’s what it’s going to be. And the thing I’m seeing is, people all over the country are saying ‘Nebraska is a place with resources’ so it’s ‘hey Coach, I’d love to come coach there.’” Get local news delivered to your inbox!U.S. women's national team goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, known for her unflappable demeanor in the face of pressure, is retiring from international soccer. Naeher was on the team's roster for a pair of upcoming matches in Europe but those games will be her last after a full 11 years playing for the United States. Naeher was the starting goalkeeper for the U.S. team that won the Women's World Cup in 2019 and the gold medal at this year's Olympics in France. She's the only U.S. goalkeeper to earn a shutout in both a World Cup and an Olympic final. She made a key one-handed save in stoppage time to preserve the Americans' 1-0 victory over Brazil in the Olympic final. Mallory Swanson, who scored the only goal, ran down the length of the field to embrace Naeher at the final whistle. Naeher announced her retirement on social media Monday . “Every tear shed in the challenging times and disappointments made every smile and celebration in the moments of success that much more joyful. This has been a special team to be a part of and I am beyond proud of what we have achieved both on and off the field," she wrote. “The memories I have made over the years will last me a lifetime.” Naeher has been known throughout her career for her calm and steady leadership. She is one of just three goalkeepers to make more than 100 appearances for the United States. Naeher made her debut with the national team in 2014 and was a backup to Hope Solo at the 2015 World Cup, which the United States won. She became the team’s regular starter following the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and was on the squad that repeated as World Cup winners in 2019. For her career, Naeher has appeared 113 games with 110 starts, 88 wins and 68 shutouts. She had four shutouts over the course of the Olympic tournament in France. In all, she was on the U.S. roster for three World Cups and three Olympic teams. The 36-year-old has also played for the Chicago Red Stars in the National Women’s Soccer League since 2016. She plans to play for Chicago next season. The United States is headed to Europe for a match against England at Wembley Stadium on Saturday and on Dec. 3 against Netherlands in The Hague. In addition to her save at the Olympics, Naeher has had many other memorable moments. In the 2019 Women's World Cup semifinals against England, she stopped Steph Houghton’s penalty kick in the 83rd minute. The Americans won 2-1 before downing the Netherlands 2-0 in the final. Earlier this year in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup, Naeher made three saves during a penalty shootout with Canada and also converted a penalty kick herself — tucking the ball neatly into the corner of the net. Afterward she said: “Winning is the best feeling.”
Prime Minister leads tributes to former US president Jimmy CarterBOSTON, Dec. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The more-than-likeness of Google's Willow chip and AI-119 Gen AI patent technology have led to the development of AI Legal Mate, an AI Law research organization that aims to provide free legal assistance to disabled Veterans, LBGTQIA+ youth, and foreign nationals in legal actions, usually in situations where they cannot afford the cost of a bail bond or an attorney to help them out during their very unfortunate situation they’ve caught themselves up in. WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT AI LEGAL MATE As previously reported , AI Legal Mate has filed its Gen AI 'Law and Health' technology utility patent updates, utilizing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and quantum computing. QM-Ware is designed exclusively for remote and physical users, and will continue to be under (nonpartisan) exploration delegations with organizations like the Veterans Recovery Network , The Gaygency , Fugees Lives Matte PAC , The Trump S.A.F.E. Act - Department of Government Efficiency 2025, SMART Recovery Network , and Harvard I-Labs. The AI Legal Mate launched a project to assist disabled Harvard students in civil rights actions concerning overly ‘X’d up Harvard degrees, and military veterans at the Veterans Recovery Network seeking settlement claims through the PACT Act Relief programs. With quantum computing, AI Legal Mate works as an ultimate API conduit between a pro-bono law client and live attorneys and AI Law technicians to handle batches of similarly situated claimants within a shorter time than a well-staffed civil rights organization with a dozen or more attorneys. AI PATENT TECH NEWS AI119 Tech's propel development team has filed a second utility patent update application for their 'third generation' AI Law and Health technology, designed similar to military ISACs established in the late-90s.

There is now a new betting favorite for NFL Coach of the Year according to one sportsbook. The Detroit Lions dominated the Indianapolis Colts 24-6 in Week 12 to improve to 10-1 and 6-0 at home. The 10-1 mark matches the Kansas City Chiefs for the best record in the NFL and has boosted Lions head coach Dan Campbell into the top spot for Coach of the Year. According to BetMGM , Campbell’s odds are +155, which is the best odds for a coach. Kevin O’Connell (+450) and Mike Tomlin (+550). Jim Harbaugh (+450) and Sean Payton (+600) have the next-best odds. Tomlin had the best odds and was the favorite entering Week 12. However, his Steelers lost at the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night. O’Connell has his Vikings at 9-2, which is a big surprise considering they are using Sam Darnold at quarterback. Many people feel the Vikings are outperforming their level of talent. Payton has also worked his way up the list by helping the Broncos turn things around. Denver began the season 0-2 but has gone 7-3 since. As for Campbell, his Lions host the Bears on Thanksgiving. They follow it up with home games against Green Bay and Buffalo.

Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save Artificial intelligence. Abortion. Guns. Marijuana. Minimum wages. Name a hot topic, and chances are good there's a new law about it taking effect in 2025 in one state or another. Many of the laws launching in January are a result of legislation passed this year. Others stem from ballot measures approved by voters. Some face legal challenges. Here's a look at some of the most notable state laws taking effect: FILE - Director of Photography Jac Cheairs and his son, actor Wyatt Cheairs, 11, take part in a rally by striking writers and actors outside Netflix studio in Los Angeles on Friday, July 14, 2023. (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File) California, home to Hollywood and some of the largest technology companies, is seeking to rein in the artificial intelligence industry and put some parameters around social media stars. New laws seek to prevent the use of digital replicas of Hollywood actors and performers without permission and allow the estates of dead performers to sue over unauthorized AI use.

(Eric Kayne/AP Images for ParentsTogether, File) New social media restrictions in several states face court challenges. A Florida law bans children under 14 from having social media accounts and requires parental consent for ages 14 and 15. But enforcement is being delayed because of a lawsuit filed by two associations for online companies, with a hearing scheduled for late February. A new Tennessee law also requires parental consent for minors to open accounts on social media. NetChoice, an industry group for online businesses, is challenging the law. Another new state law requires porn websites to verify that visitors are at least 18 years old. But the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry, has filed a challenge. Several new California measures aimed at combating political deepfakes are also being challenged, including one requiring large social media platforms to remove deceptive content related to elections and another allowing any individual to sue for damages over the use of AI to create fabricated images or videos in political ads.

(Anjali Sharif-Paul/The Orange County Register via AP, File) In a first nationally, California will start enforcing a law prohibiting school districts from adopting policies that require staff to notify parents if their children change their gender identification. The law was a priority for Democratic lawmakers who wanted to halt such policies passed by several districts. FILE - Christian F. Nunes, president of National Organization for Women speaks as abortion rights activists and Women's March leaders protest as part of a national day of strike actions outside the Supreme Court, Monday, June 24, 2024, in Washington. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein, File) Many states have passed laws limiting or protecting abortion rights since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a nationwide right to the procedure in 2022. One of the latest is the Democratic-led state of Delaware. A law there will require the state employee health plan and Medicaid plans for lower-income residents to cover abortions with no deductible, copayments or other cost-sharing requirements. FILE - Gov.

Peggy Flanagan, center left, and his wife Gwen Walz, center right, stand by him. (Jeff Wheeler/Star Tribune via AP, File) A new Minnesota law prohibits guns with "binary triggers" that allow for more rapid fire, causing a weapon to fire one round when the trigger is pulled and another when it is released. In Delaware, a law adds colleges and universities to a list of school zones where guns are prohibited, with exceptions for those working in their official capacity such as law officers and commissioned security guards. Kentucky is becoming the latest state to let people use marijuana for medical purposes. To apply for a state medical cannabis card, people must get written certification from a medical provider of a qualifying condition, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, epilepsy, chronic nausea or post-traumatic stress disorder. Nearly four-fifths of U.S. states have now legalized medical marijuana. Minimum wage workers in more than 20 states are due to receive raises in January. The highest minimum wages will be in Washington, California and Connecticut, all of which will top $16 an hour after modest increases. The largest increases are scheduled in Delaware, where the minimum wage will rise by $1.75 to $15 an hour, and in Nebraska, where a ballot measure approved by voters in 2022 will add $1.50 to the current minimum of $12 an hour. Twenty other states still follow the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. FILE - A man talks on his cell phone while driving in Los Angeles, Monday June 30, 2008. (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian, File) In Oregon, using drugs on public transit will be considered a misdemeanor crime of interfering with public transportation. While the measure worked its way through the legislature, multiple transportation officials said drug use on buses and trains, and at transit stops and stations, was making passengers and drivers feel less safe. In Missouri, law enforcement officers have spent the past 16 months issuing warnings to motorists that handheld cellphone use is illegal. Starting with the new year, penalties will kick in: a $150 fine for the first violation, progressing to $500 for third and subsequent offenses and up to 15 years imprisonment if a driver using a cellphone cause an injury or death. But police must notice a primary violation, such as speeding or weaving across lanes, to cite motorists for violating the cellphone law. Montana is the only state that hasn't banned texting while driving, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Laura Kelly announces her 'Axe the Food Tax' campaign at Dillons grocery store in Topeka, Kan., Monday, Nov. 8, 2021 by holding an axe. (Evert Nelson/The Capital-Journal via AP, File) Tenants in Arizona will no longer have to pay tax on their monthly rent, thanks to the repeal of a law that had allowed cities and towns to impose such taxes. While a victory for renters, the new law is a financial loss for governments. An analysis by Arizona's nonpartisan Joint Legislative Budget Committee estimated that $230 million would be lost in municipal tax revenue during the first full fiscal year of implementation. Meanwhile Alabama will offer tax credits to businesses that help employees with child care costs. Kansas is eliminating its 2% sales tax on groceries. It also is cutting individual income taxes by dropping the top tax rate, increasing a credit for child care expenses and exempting all Social Security income from taxes, among other things. Taxpayers are expected to save about $320 million a year going forward. FILE - Election board inspector Pat Cook readies "I Voted" stickers for voters during early voting in Oklahoma City, Friday, Oct. 29, 2010. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, File) An Oklahoma law expands voting privileges to people who have been convicted of felonies but had their sentences discharged or commuted, including commutations for crimes that have been reclassified from felonies to misdemeanors. Former state Sen. George Young, an Oklahoma City Democrat, carried the bill in the Senate. "I think it's very important that people who have gone through trials and tribulations in their life, that we have a system that brings them back and allows them to participate as contributing citizens," Young said.

Gov. Chris Sununu swears in House lawmakers for the 2025 to 2026 legislative biennium on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024. (Ethan DeWitt | New Hampshire Bulletin) Two Londonderry Republicans will lead the New Hampshire House and Senate for the next two years, after being formally voted in by their peers Wednesday. Sherman Packard was reelected House speaker, beginning his third term in the job with a much more comfortable legislative majority than the last term. And Sen. Sharon Carson was chosen to be Senate president, overseeing a 16-8 Republican-controlled chamber and succeeding longtime Sen. Jeb Bradley, who is retiring this year. The elections were part of Organization Day, when newly elected senators and representatives are sworn into office, and the House and Senate choose the secretary of state and state treasurer. Here’s what you need to know. Introducing Packard before voting began, Rep. Lisa Mazur, a Goffstown Republican, praised Packard’s legislative priorities. “With his extensive experience, he has championed legislation that supports parental rights, strengthens our economy, safeguards personal freedoms, and ensures that every tax dollar is spent wisely,” she said. Rep. Ted Gorski, a Bedford Republican, drew attention to what he said were Packard’s evenhanded temperament and skills at conflict resolution. “Recently, Sherm and I had a difference of opinion on an issue, and after the issue played out, we were emailing back and forth, and I decided to call Sherm, but Sherm beat me to the punch,” he said. “He actually called me, and we had a great conversation. As the call ended, it was evident to me that Sherm would not harbor any bad feelings, but his goal was to maintain the relationship.” In his own speech, Packard called for civility between members of both parties. “We’ve got two tough years ahead of us,” he said. “Philosophically, in many cases, we are going to have different opinions on subject matter. ... But by God, that doesn’t mean we can’t be civil and friendly and cooperate with each other when we are on the same page.” Packard urged special caution around social media practices, saying he wished Facebook and Twitter – now called X – didn’t exist. And, he said, “my door is open.” Democrats nominated Rep. Alexis Simpson, of Exeter, as speaker. She lost that bid but will be the House Democratic leader, succeeding Rep. Matt Wilhelm, of Manchester, who is continuing to serve as a representative. “Whatever it is, whatever bill you want to pass and send to the governor’s desk, you cannot do it alone,” Simpson said in her own election speech. “None of us can. We need to work together in this body to make the changes that we envision.” Following House rules, the speaker was elected via a secret ballot. With 388 representatives casting votes, 202 votes went to Packard, 162 went to Simpson, 17 were scattered votes for other candidates, and 7 ballots were left blank. Carson, who won by unanimous vote in the Senate, promised to work to “preserve and expand the New Hampshire advantage, ensuring that our state remains a place where families thrive, businesses grow, and communities flourish.” “I am energized by the work ahead together. We have an opportunity to build on the traditions of civility and collaboration that makes this chamber truly unique,” she said. Sen. Rebecca Perkins-Kwoka, a Portsmouth Democrat and the Senate minority leader, seconded the motion to elect Carson. “I hope there will be things we can work together on this session,” she said. “Such as: We all know our residents need housing. We all know our businesses need workforce. And we all know our families need child care.” More from this section The House and Senate reelected Dave Scanlan as secretary of state and Monica Mezzapelle as state treasurer. Neither were contested. Accepting his election, Scanlan said the past two years had been “busy.” “We have had a lot of successes, but the largest one is in preserving the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, which is something that everybody in this room gets behind,” Scanlan said. “We faced the largest challenge to the primary in the primary’s history, and I think the aftermath is still as relevant as it ever has been.” In a nomination speech for Mezzapelle, Sen. Cindy Rosenwald, a Nashua Democrat, praised her “sound professional judgement on borrowing,” which she said had contributed to New Hampshire’s S&P Global Ratings increase from AA to AA+ in March, “which will save the state millions.” “She’s been incredibly successful here with interest coming in $85 million ahead of plan for last fiscal year and $46 million ahead of plan for the current year today,” Rosenwald added. Mezzapelle, who has served in the role since 2020, said the pandemic had provided economic challenges and opportunities for the state. “One of the key takeaways for me is the importance of being prepared,” Mezzapelle said. “The need to assess risks and develop policies and plans that can guide us during good and also not-so-good times.” The 2025 session has not yet begun, but there is already a special election needed. Rep. Dawn Evans, a Democrat from Somersworth, has resigned her seat because she has moved out of her district. Her resignation letter was read by House Clerk Paul Smith Wednesday. The resignation changes the balance of the House to 221 Republicans, 177 Democrats, and one independent; Somersworth officials will need to schedule a special election to fill the seat soon. As the housing shortage continues unabated, the New Hampshire House now has a permanent committee dedicated to housing bills. That came about as part of a rule change, and is a response to what Deputy Speaker Steven Smith called a growing need. “I think both sides want this,” he said. “I know the public wants us to do it.” The House also moved to divide a longstanding committee – the Education Committee – into two separate committees. Those will be the Committee on Education Policy and Administration and the Committee on Education Funding. Smith argued the change was needed because there are so many education-related bills that lawmakers on the Education Committee are being inundated. And the Senate has created a new permanent committee, too: the Committee on Children and Family Law. The body did not detail the reasons for the creation of its committee. On Wednesday, the House and the Senate both adopted a set of ethics rules proposed by the Legislative Ethics Committee that will require lawmakers to recuse themselves from far more votes than before. Spurred by a law passed by the Legislature in 2024, House Bill 1388 , the new ethics rules prevent lawmakers from voting on bills if they have a personal conflict of interest or if they or a family member could expect to benefit – or suffer – financially if the bill were to pass or fail. A lawmaker who requires recusal is “someone who founded the company or organization,” is “a substantial contributor,” is paid based on the revenues of the organization, has control over the organization’s expenses or budget, or who owns a controlling interest in that organization. While the Senate passed the new rules easily, the House had some hiccups. Some Republican lawmakers requested that the vote be postponed by a month – or tabled – because they said they had not had enough time to read and review the final ethics changes. But those lawmakers failed to achieve the votes necessary to do so and the ethics rules moved ahead.Feminist ideology in India’s constitutional discourse

LINCOLN — Amid what he called “angst” over the departure of a successful defensive coordinator, Nebraska coach Matt Rhule on Wednesday named an interim replacement for Tony White while resisting any firm timeline for hiring the permanent guy. “I have no timetable other than to get it right,” Rhule said as part of his Signing Day press conference. “Just to make it right.” White left Monday for the same job at Florida State. Defensive backs coach John Butler, a longtime NFL assistant who also coordinated Penn State’s defense in 2013, will oversee the Husker defense in a bowl game later this month. Butler is also a candidate for the permanent role, Rhule said, and ran the unit in Wednesday’s practice. “I’ve had a lot of players come into me and voice their opinions,” Rhule said. “A lot of guys love John on the staff, on the team.” Whether Butler or some other coach fills the coordinator role, Rhule intends to continue running the 3-3-5 system Whie brought with him from Syracuse. The scheme favors aggressive blitz scheme and can be hard for opposing offenses to decipher when rushing the ball. “I don’t want to switch to something different,” Rhule said. “I want to do this defense. Whoever that is, I don’t want to make that decision for the short term — where we all feel good about it — and I don’t want to make a ‘splashy’ hire.” Two years ago White fit that bill coming from Syracuse. In two seasons at NU, he coordinated national top-20 defenses in both points and yards per game allowed. On Sunday, two days after his defense allowed just 164 yards in a 13-10 loss to Iowa, Rhule said White came to him and desired to take the Florida State job for “family reasons.” Terrance Knighton, the team’s defensive line coach, has left, too, according to reports and his own X social media account, although Rhule deemed Knighton still “with” the team on Wednesday. The same was true of receivers coach Garret McGuire, who has the option, Rhule said, to remain with the team in an adjusted role after Rhule made official the hire of Kentucky receivers coach Daikiel Shorts, who had previously played and coached under new Nebraska offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. “It was Dana’s only request,” Rhule said. Holgorsen would like to retain offensive line coach Donovan Raiola, quarterbacks coach Glenn Thomas, running backs coach EJ Barthel and tight ends coach Marcus Satterfield, demoted in early November from the playcaller role. Shorts, Rhule said, is a strong recruiter who understands Holgorsen’s system. “The offense will be better,” that it had been for the first 21 games of his tenure, Rhule said, thanks Holgorsen’s addition and more time in the system. Nebraska’s defense will continue to play well, Rhule said, regardless of the coordinator. “Did I want Tony to leave? No. But it’s OK,” Rhule said. “Coaches are going to leave. If we have good players and we have good coaches, people are going to come try to get them. If no one’s trying to take our players and no one’s trying takes our coaches, that means we’re in trouble. “So that’s what it’s going to be. And the thing I’m seeing is, people all over the country are saying ‘Nebraska is a place with resources’ so it’s ‘hey Coach, I’d love to come coach there.’” Get local news delivered to your inbox!U.S. women's national team goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher, known for her unflappable demeanor in the face of pressure, is retiring from international soccer. Naeher was on the team's roster for a pair of upcoming matches in Europe but those games will be her last after a full 11 years playing for the United States. Naeher was the starting goalkeeper for the U.S. team that won the Women's World Cup in 2019 and the gold medal at this year's Olympics in France. She's the only U.S. goalkeeper to earn a shutout in both a World Cup and an Olympic final. She made a key one-handed save in stoppage time to preserve the Americans' 1-0 victory over Brazil in the Olympic final. Mallory Swanson, who scored the only goal, ran down the length of the field to embrace Naeher at the final whistle. Naeher announced her retirement on social media Monday . “Every tear shed in the challenging times and disappointments made every smile and celebration in the moments of success that much more joyful. This has been a special team to be a part of and I am beyond proud of what we have achieved both on and off the field," she wrote. “The memories I have made over the years will last me a lifetime.” Naeher has been known throughout her career for her calm and steady leadership. She is one of just three goalkeepers to make more than 100 appearances for the United States. Naeher made her debut with the national team in 2014 and was a backup to Hope Solo at the 2015 World Cup, which the United States won. She became the team’s regular starter following the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and was on the squad that repeated as World Cup winners in 2019. For her career, Naeher has appeared 113 games with 110 starts, 88 wins and 68 shutouts. She had four shutouts over the course of the Olympic tournament in France. In all, she was on the U.S. roster for three World Cups and three Olympic teams. The 36-year-old has also played for the Chicago Red Stars in the National Women’s Soccer League since 2016. She plans to play for Chicago next season. The United States is headed to Europe for a match against England at Wembley Stadium on Saturday and on Dec. 3 against Netherlands in The Hague. In addition to her save at the Olympics, Naeher has had many other memorable moments. In the 2019 Women's World Cup semifinals against England, she stopped Steph Houghton’s penalty kick in the 83rd minute. The Americans won 2-1 before downing the Netherlands 2-0 in the final. Earlier this year in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup, Naeher made three saves during a penalty shootout with Canada and also converted a penalty kick herself — tucking the ball neatly into the corner of the net. Afterward she said: “Winning is the best feeling.”
Prime Minister leads tributes to former US president Jimmy CarterBOSTON, Dec. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The more-than-likeness of Google's Willow chip and AI-119 Gen AI patent technology have led to the development of AI Legal Mate, an AI Law research organization that aims to provide free legal assistance to disabled Veterans, LBGTQIA+ youth, and foreign nationals in legal actions, usually in situations where they cannot afford the cost of a bail bond or an attorney to help them out during their very unfortunate situation they’ve caught themselves up in. WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT AI LEGAL MATE As previously reported , AI Legal Mate has filed its Gen AI 'Law and Health' technology utility patent updates, utilizing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and quantum computing. QM-Ware is designed exclusively for remote and physical users, and will continue to be under (nonpartisan) exploration delegations with organizations like the Veterans Recovery Network , The Gaygency , Fugees Lives Matte PAC , The Trump S.A.F.E. Act - Department of Government Efficiency 2025, SMART Recovery Network , and Harvard I-Labs. The AI Legal Mate launched a project to assist disabled Harvard students in civil rights actions concerning overly ‘X’d up Harvard degrees, and military veterans at the Veterans Recovery Network seeking settlement claims through the PACT Act Relief programs. With quantum computing, AI Legal Mate works as an ultimate API conduit between a pro-bono law client and live attorneys and AI Law technicians to handle batches of similarly situated claimants within a shorter time than a well-staffed civil rights organization with a dozen or more attorneys. AI PATENT TECH NEWS AI119 Tech's propel development team has filed a second utility patent update application for their 'third generation' AI Law and Health technology, designed similar to military ISACs established in the late-90s. This technology uses quantum computer technology under Grover's algorithms for quantum-error corrections in human-driven transactions. The newer version of AI119's technology is capable of resolving tens of thousands of administrative complaint cases within a few days by integrating live attorneys with AI Law resources and SOC-2 applications to certify legal documents. AI Legal Mate's next generation plan is to complete its fifth-generation technology with innovative lab affiliates, including their "QM-ware" approach, which aims to integrate AI with assistive technology like earbuds, eye-ware, wrist-ware , head-ware , and body-ware to enable adaptive learning at ‘meta-speed. ’ This will empower users to receive treatment or training for mental health disabilities or professional skills through peer-to-peer transmission of Generative AI at meta-speeds .

There is now a new betting favorite for NFL Coach of the Year according to one sportsbook. The Detroit Lions dominated the Indianapolis Colts 24-6 in Week 12 to improve to 10-1 and 6-0 at home. The 10-1 mark matches the Kansas City Chiefs for the best record in the NFL and has boosted Lions head coach Dan Campbell into the top spot for Coach of the Year. According to BetMGM , Campbell’s odds are +155, which is the best odds for a coach. Kevin O’Connell (+450) and Mike Tomlin (+550). Jim Harbaugh (+450) and Sean Payton (+600) have the next-best odds. Tomlin had the best odds and was the favorite entering Week 12. However, his Steelers lost at the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night. O’Connell has his Vikings at 9-2, which is a big surprise considering they are using Sam Darnold at quarterback. Many people feel the Vikings are outperforming their level of talent. Payton has also worked his way up the list by helping the Broncos turn things around. Denver began the season 0-2 but has gone 7-3 since. As for Campbell, his Lions host the Bears on Thanksgiving. They follow it up with home games against Green Bay and Buffalo.
