How Washington outsider Jimmy Carter wooed voters tired of Vietnam and WatergateMaryland Gov. Wes Moore and Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott hope a newly planned weeks-long festival will draw more fans, and revenue, to the Preakness Stakes and the area as the city prepares to host the second jewel of the Triple Crown. The biggest event on Baltimore’s spring calendar has lost money in recent years. Crowds have dwindled from an average of more than 100,000 in the decade before the coronavirus pandemic to 63,423 on Friday and Saturday last May. Young people have turned away from thoroughbred racing and the signature event, despite the presence of headlining musical acts such as Bruno Mars in 2023 and Jack Harlow in 2024 . Moore and Scott hope to turn the tide leading up to the 150th running of the race on May 17 — the final turn around the current version of the soon-to-be renovated Pimlico Race Course. “Preakness is a chance for Baltimore to show off,” Moore said at a presentation Wednesday on the sixth floor of the warehouse at Camden Yards. “And that’s what’s going to happen with Preakness 150.” Shortly after next year’s race, bulldozers and wrecking balls will begin demolishing the dilapidated facility as part of a $400 million rebuild expected to have a new Pimlico ready to host the Preakness by 2027. The refurbished track, in tandem with a new off-site training facility, is expected to become the headquarters for Maryland thoroughbred racing by the end of that year. Wednesday’s presentation was short on specifics, with festival organizers saying only that the buildup to the Preakness will last for months and that a list of events — including free and ticketed cultural gatherings, arts activities, and a headline concert — will be released in early 2025. But the co-chairs of the initiative are heavy hitters, from the first lady Dawn Moore to Orioles owner David Rubenstein to Stronach Group CEO Belinda Stronach, whose Canadian company still owns the Preakness despite having sold Pimlico to the state earlier this year. They said its events will “deliver experiences that equitably enhance economic growth, promote tourism and inspire civic pride through collaborative work with small-, minority-, women- and veteran-owned businesses.” Dawn Moore said the seed of the idea hit her after she and her husband visited the Kentucky Derby two years ago and recognized that the parties and community events leading up to the first jewel of the Triple Crown take over Louisville for weeks leading up to the actual race.

Listening are Maryland First Lady Dawn Moore, Governor Wes Moore and David Rubenstein, owner of the Baltimore Orioles. (Kim Hairston/Staff) “We could do it better,” she recalled telling the governor. “Well, go do it then,” she remembered him responding. One of the festival’s other co-chairs, Stella May Contracting chief financial officer Christian Johansson, noted that the Derby generated $396 million in economic impact for Kentucky in 2023 while the most recent study on the Preakness showed it generated just $41 million for Maryland. “The main reason is the Derby isn’t one or two days,” Johansson said. “Maryland historically has not fully captured the economic impact the Preakness could have.” Rubenstein donated to supplement funds from the Maryland Lottery’s major events fund to help get the new festival off the ground. The Orioles owner said he was dining with the Moores when the first lady ran the play by him. “That’s a pretty clever idea,” Rubenstein recalled thinking. “How come nobody else thought of that before?” He noted that he grew up a mile from Pimlico but never visited the track as a child because he wasn’t old enough. He promised to be there to celebrate the winner in 2025. Scott grew up even closer, in Park Heights, but recalled not feeling welcome at the Preakness, which he did not attend until 2019. He said that this new initiative is about forging deeper connections between the event and the community around it. He and Moore noted that the Pimlico rebuild project includes $10 million for affordable housing and job creation in surrounding neighborhoods and that the festival will play off that mission. “We want to show the world the real and true Baltimore,” the mayor said. “One that is resilient, fun and on the rise, one that is the home of excellence but in particular, this Old Bay-sprinkled Black excellence. “That’s not what Preakness has always been. It hasn’t always been a place where we felt welcome. It was held in Northwest Baltimore, but it was very clear that it wasn’t for Northwest Baltimore. But over the past few years ... we’ve begun to change that narrative.” Have a news tip? Contact Childs Walker at daviwalker@baltsun.com , 410-332-6893 and x.com/ChildsWalker .

General Motors Cuts Funding to Cruise, Nixing Its Robotaxi PlanBOSTON - A family visiting Boston left an irreplaceable VHS tape with precious memories in a rental car. They tried for weeks to get someone from the company to help them find it. Losing hope, they reached out to the I-Team's Call for Action for help. 1995 Division 1 State Championship game In 1995, the St. John's High School hockey team won the state's Division 1 Championship. Thomas Wallace was on the team and scored four goals in that game. Recently, his family was given a VHS videotape of the big win. Sherry Wallace says it is hard not to be emotional, since this was the only video the family has ever seen of the game. The video was special because Thomas died of brain cancer in 2015, leaving behind a five-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son. That son, also named Thomas is now 12 and plays hockey. Recently, his father's former teammates came to watch young Thomas skate at the same rink where St. John's won the championship. They gifted his mom the VHS tape of the game. Sherry says Thomas skates like his dad, looks exactly like him and has the same mannerisms. She knew he would cherish the video and planned to give it to him for Christmas. Videotape left in rental car in Boston The Wallace family lives in Georgia and got the gift of precious memories when they were visiting Boston last month. Wanting to make sure Thomas didn't see the tape, she hid it in the glove compartment of their Hertz rental car. Sherry says her biggest fear was somehow forgetting about it and leaving it behind. Sadly, the fear became a reality when Sherry says they dropped off the rental and flew home without it. Realizing she left it behind, Sherry says she tried calling and emailing Hertz to try to get it back. The family was just about to give up when they reached out to the I-Team's Call for Action. Within 24 hours after we contacted Hertz, employees found the car on a lot in New Jersey. Miraculously, the tape was still inside the glove compartment. In a statement Hertz said: "We are grateful to our Boston team for helping Ms. Wallace recover her cherished possession and are proud to have her as a valued Hertz customer. Memories are priceless, and we're honored to play a part in ensuring she can share this special moment of her late husband with her son this holiday season." Hertz sent the tape to Sherry via overnight mail, and she got it the next morning. "We were just blown away that you reached out to us and so fast and everything happened within a day. It was just unbelievable," Sherry said. "I just cannot thank you enough and my family can't thank you enough." Sherry is now looking forward to seeing the look on her son's face when he watches the tape Christmas morning. Hertz also gave the family loyalty points for a three-day car rental. Cheryl Fiandaca is the chief investigative reporter for the I-Team at WBZ-TV.

India News | PM Modi to Inaugurate 'Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit' in Jaipur TomorrowMcCarthy said Overshown has a “long road of rehab in front of him.” The second-year player tore multiple ligaments when a Bengals lineman crashed into his leg in the Cowboys' 27-20 loss Monday night. Overshown missed all of his rookie year in 2023 after tearing the ACL in his left knee in a preseason game. The latest injury came in his first game since a spectacular 23-yard interception return for a touchdown in a 27-20 victory over the New York Giants on Thanksgiving. “DeMarvion is getting ready to have a big surgery in front of him,” McCarthy said of the procedure planned this week. “His physical and football talent speaks for itself. He’s such a bright light. He’s got a great, infectious personality — a tough young man. He is definitely going to be missed.” The former Texas standout, drafted in the third round last year, was second on the team to star pass rusher Micah Parsons with five sacks when he went down. The December timing of Overshown's injury means rehab is likely to extend past training camp and into the regular season next year, after he turns 25. Parsons was emotional when asked about Overshown after the Cincinnati game. “I cried,” he said. “It’s like my little bro, bro. He doesn’t deserve that either. Just to understand what he’s going to go through and to be there for him physically, mentally. It’s just so challenging because of the year he was having. I really just don’t think that’s fair either.” The loss of Overshown comes with defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence close to return from a foot injury that has sidelined him since Week 4. But the Cowboys (5-8) are all but out of the playoffs as they prepare to visit Carolina (3-10) on Sunday. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

The Jacksonville Jaguars entered Week 14 in the driver’s seat for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but that changed following Sunday’s 10-6 win over the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. Jacksonville improved to 3-10 and slid from No. 1 to No. 5 in the reverse NFL standings after Sunday’s early window. The Jags now have the same record as the Titans, Panthers, Patriots, Jets and Browns in what has become a serious logjam at the bottom of the NFL standings. Only a pair of two-win teams remain atop the reverse NFL standings: the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants . Reverse NFL Standings (thru Week 14 early window) — Source: www.tankathon.com/nfl Jacksonville’s remaining schedule is truly a toilet bowl. The Jags get the Jets in Week 15 (home), the Raiders in Week 16 (road) and the Titans again in Week 17 (home). If they lose all three of those games —which is a real possibility with the uninspiring Mac Jones under center — they’ll be right back in the hunt for No. 1 overall. The story of Sunday’s game was Jacksonville’s defense, which allowed no touchdowns and just 272 total yards on the road. The team continues to show fight under embattled head coach Doug Pederson, which is likely why Pederson is getting the chance to keep his dignity and finish out the season on the sideline. Fans tend to latch onto the draft when their team’s season goes into the toilet, but Jaguars fans also know well from experience: Drafting No. 1 overall guarantees absolutely nothing as your team enters a rebuild.

The big reveal was captured on camera and posted to Winfrey’s Instagram. King, her mouth agape, clutches her chest and freezes—completely astonished. The camera pans to show a room filled to the brim with King’s loved ones. “My bestie of 50 years is turning 70 so we gathered everyone that loved her to celebrate,” Winfrey captioned the post . “Hard thing to surprise her, O the stories we have made up, the lies we have told to keep this a secret. Happy birthday @gayleking, sorry we almost gave you a heart attack.” Winfrey and King, both successful media personalities, have been dear friends since they met as young journalists at Baltimore’s WJZ television station. When Winfrey celebrated her own 70th birthday a year earlier, she said , “No day is promised to any of us. So to reach this major milestone feels like grace in action.” A post shared by Oprah (@oprah) Paula Abdul has reached a settlement with American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe following a year-long sexual assault legal battle. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed. “I am grateful that this chapter has successfully come to a close and is now something I can now put behind me...,” Abdul said in a statement. “I hope my experience can serve to inspire other women, facing similar struggles, to overcome their own challenges with dignity and respect, so that they too can turn the page and begin a new chapter of their lives.” Lythgoe continued to dispute Abdul’s accusations, claiming, “We live in a troubling time where a person is now automatically assumed to be guilty until proven innocent, a process that can take years,” in a statement. Abdul accused Lythgoe of groping her in an elevator nearly 20 years ago when she was a judge on American Idol. A decade later, when she was a judge on So You Think You Can Dance , she alleged Lythgoe invited her to his home and then attempted to forced himself on her. Lythgoe stepped down as a judge on So You Think You Can Dance in January after a second suit was filed accusing him of sexually assaulting two contestants on a different show. A third lawsuit was filed in March, accusing Lythgoe of sexually assaulting a woman at his home in 2018. Scouted selects products independently.

It’s been some 26 years since Jennifer Love Hewitt’s ‘final girl’ faced off with a vengeful killer fisherman in the I Know What You Did Last Summe r series. (That was in the film’s sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer ; a third film is not considered canon by horror fans, while a related TV series aired in 2021.) But with filming on an official threequel—set for release, wait for it, next summer—currently underway, Hewitt confirmed Friday that she’ll be reprising her original role. “It’s never too late to go back,” Hewitt wrote in an Instagram caption confirming the casting news. Hewitt joins her former co-star Freddie Prinze Jr. in the forthcoming film, alongside a lineup of young Hollywood talent who will near inevitably end up as roadkill . Perhaps unsurprisingly, Prinze Jr.‘s wife Sarah Michelle Gellar —who also starred in the first IKWYDLS movie—had previously confirmed she won’t be returning, because her character died . Fair enough! That hasn’t stopped the Internet from wondering if she didn’t really want to see Love Hewitt back either, with commenters reading deeply into an apparently shady red carpet moment . A post shared by Jennifer Love Hewitt (@jenniferlovehewitt) BBC reported that Apple’s new AI notification system sent a message from the outlet that falsely claimed Luigi Mangione shot himself. The new technology aims to group together notifications; however, it falsely wrote that the suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s Manhattan slaying had shot himself. The BBC sent a message to Apple in regards to the notification, but the company declined to comment. A BBC spokesperson said, “It is essential to us that our audiences can trust any information or journalism published in our name and that includes notifications.” The notification included other news stories, which were described correctly. The message read: “Luigi Mangione shoots himself; Syrian mother hopes Assad pays the price; South Korea police raid Yoon Suk Yeol’s office.” The BBC also reported that it’s seemingly not the only news organization dealing with the misleading summarizations. A screenshot allegedly showed that a New York Times grouped notification read that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was arrested. The screenshot could not be independently verified by the BBC, and the New York Times declined to comment. Scouted selects products independently.

It’s the perfect way to toast 2025 with sophistication, flavor, and an energy boost. Think you can’t make the buzzy beverage at home because you’re not a bartender? Think again. You can create this beloved cocktail effortlessly with just a cocktail shaker, fresh espresso, vodka, coffee beans, and Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur . It all starts in the land Down Under—Australia. Mr Black sources its ingredients, including 100 percent specialty-grade Arabica coffee, from local farmers and cooperatives. The liqueur is then slowly brewed with purified cold water to preserve its delicate, complex flavors. The result? A bittersweet masterpiece with bold flavor, balanced sweetness, and a lasting coffee kick. Its rich, coffee-forward taste is a crowd-pleaser, and the sleek bottle design adds a touch of elegance to any bar cart. Making an espresso martini is simple. Combine Mr Black , vodka, and freshly brewed espresso in a shaker. Add ice and shake vigorously until cold. Then, strain the mixture into a martini glass and finish with three coffee beans as a garnish. Skip the champagne toast this year and ensure you stay awake for the countdown to 2025 with a Mr Black espresso martini. The NFL wished Taylor Swift a Happy Birthday with a TikTok of her and Travis Kelce’s most memorable moments—on and off the field. Kelce’s employer posted the video of the singer and his relationship, which already has racked up over 1 million views. The caption read, “Karma is the guy on the @Chiefs saying happy bday to me.” The clips showed Kelce and Swift celebrating his wins at games, the pair at her concerts, and her glitzed out in Chiefs gear. “If you told me 2 years ago I would be following the NFL on tiktok and not falling asleep everytime a game is on TV... never would’ve believed it,” wrote one commenter. “Happy birthday Taylor. Thank you for uniting the Swifties and the Football Fans together in the name of art and sport,” another wrote. Swift has been seen at many Chiefs games since the beginning of her relationship with the tight end, with him visiting her at some of her tour dates. karma is the guy on the @Chiefs saying happy bday to me 🎶 #taylorswift #traviskelce #nfl #kansascitychiefs Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson , known best to some for his past relationships with Kim Kardashian , Ariana Grande , Kate Beckinsale , and more famous women, now says he doesn’t want to be known as “this f---ing loser who just dates people,” in a new interview for W Magazine . to promote his new role as creative director for colorful sock brand Doublesoul, Davidson told the outlet his feeling that he was one of “a handful of celebs every couple of years” that the media “destroys,” after multiple run-ins with tabloids over his famous exes. “For some reason, I’m one of the people they chose to go after,” he said. But, he added, “It’s actually, in a way, a blessing, because it allowed me to take a step back and evaluate things. What do you want to be? Who are you?” Davidson said he only wants to be seen publicly “when it’s movie, stand-up, charity, or business ventures” and to focus on his stand-up career. “I’m someone who is from Staten Island, wanted to do stand-up, and if I got to do anything else because of stand-up, it was a miracle.” The iconic sitcom Malcolm in the Middle will hit screens for the first time in 18 years, with a limited run of four episodes set to premiere on Disney+ . Frankie Muniz, who will reprise his role as Malcolm, announced the reboot Friday, along with Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek, who play his parents. The original creator of the show will also return as a writer. The new series follows Malcolm returning home with his daughter for his parents’ 40th wedding anniversary, according to Deadline . Christopher Kennedy Masterson, who played the eldest brother Francis, and Justin Berfield, who played the middle child Reese, are likely to be asked to reprise their roles. Though it’s unlikely that Erik Per Sullivan, who plays the youngest brother Dewey, will make an appearance. He quit acting in 2010 and has not appeared at any reunions. Malcolm in the Middle first premiered on Fox in 2000 and ran for seven seasons. Its success as a family comedy is credited with paving the way for other single-camera sitcoms. Legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers is finally opening up about his strained relationship with his family. In his new documentary, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma , Rodgers explained that he has “stunted emotional intelligence” because of the lack of open emotion in his home growing up. “I think I saw my dad cry when my grandfather passed. And that might have been it,” Rodgers shared. “There wasn’t space for emotion.” Rodgers’ brother, Jordan, first opened up about the family’s rift during his time on The Bachelorette in 2016. During a hometown date with his now-wife JoJo Fletcher, the family explained that while they “miss” Rodgers, they no longer have a relationship with him. In a 2017 profile with The New York Times , Rodgers’ father, Ed, confirmed that he hadn’t spoken to his son in three years. “Fame can change things,” he said. At the time, Rodgers said he didn’t want to talk about his family publicly. In the doc, Rodgers spoke about his family while participating in an ayahuasca ceremony. The quarterback said the psychedelic drug allows users to “model a new way of thinking about masculinity, or what it means to be a man.” Scouted selects products independently.

Apparently, boosting prostate health can actually be pleasurable—at least, that’s what premium sexual wellness brand MysteryVibe says. The Molto, an ultra-slim and bendable prostate vibrator designed by a doctor, is engineered to be the same size and width as a doctor’s finger and to mimic similar motions to that performed during an exam, allowing for not only intense prostate (the prostate is often hailed as the male ‘G-spot’) and anal stimulation but also a release of prostatic fluids. According to the brand, some studies have found that excess prostatic fluid can lead to inflammation and pressure, so not only is this a sex toy , but it’s also possibly an investment in your prostate health. Think of it almost like a lymphatic massage for your prostate—except one that can give you intense orgasms, too. Made with body-safe silicone, the multifunctional and gender-fluid vibrator is powered by one “anatomically-placed” motor that delivers potent yet precise vibration to the anus and prostate without feeling bulky or inflexible. It’s a great sex toy for those new to anal play or who are looking for an ultra-sleek vibrator with possible health-boosting benefits. The prostate vibrator is equipped with 16 vibration settings and eight pre-set vibration patterns, allowing for superior control and customization. Plus, the device comes with access to a catalog of vibration patterns with the free MysteryVibe smartphone app. Best of all? Because the Molto vibrator is an FDA-registered class II medical device, it’s also FSA/HSA eligible. Released bodycam footage shows Paris Hilton’s ex-fiancé, Chris Zylka, in a chaotic brawl with police after a failed carjacking. Police in a Cleveland suburb first responded to reports of a shirtless, barefoot man walking in traffic in freezing temperatures on Dec. 4, local outlet WKBN first reported. Zylka was found in the middle of an intersection, where he allegedly tried to break into a woman’s car. He pointed a cell phone at the cops and began foaming at the mouth, leading officers to believe he was under the influence of drugs, according to the police report. Footage shows Zylka struggling with police officers and resisting arrest even after being tasered in the leg twice. He was then put in an ambulance by paramedics. The actor is now facing felony charges of assault and attempt to commit an offense, as well as misdemeanor disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and aggravated menacing. Hilton and Zylka started dating in 2017 after being friends for years. He proposed in early 2018 during a ski trip in Aspen, Colorado, but they called off their engagement in November that same year. Vanderpump Rules alum James Kennedy is refusing to apologize for his domestic violence arrest . “We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” Kennedy’s attorneys said in a statement to the Daily Mail . “We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.” Police were called to Kennedy’s home on Tuesday because of an argument between Kennedy and a woman. That night, Kennedy attended Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party with girlfriend Ally Lewber, though it’s unknown if she is the victim. Police told People that after an investigation, they arrested the reality star for misdemeanor domestic violence. He later posted $20,000 bail. A source at the Christmas party told People that Kennedy was acting “super aggressive.” “He was acting so erratic, running back and forth to the bar and body-checking people along the way,” the source alleged. “He appeared inebriated. Spent the evening mostly alone but when he did speak to people, he appeared irritated and rude.”
