Spending squeeze ‘could cost more than 10,000 Civil Service jobs’Mikaela Shiffrin's bid for a milestone 100th alpine World Cup victory was on hold after the US superstar crashed out of the Killington giant slalom won by Sweden's Sara Hector on Saturday. Shiffrin, already the owner of the most World Cup victories in history, was poised to claim a once unimaginable century after topping the first-run times. She looked on course for the win when she crashed heavily in the second leg and Sweden's Olympic gold medaallist Hector emerged with the victory with a total of 1min 53.08sec. Shiffrin, whose mistake rounding a turn caused her to lose her balance and slide through a gate, lost one ski and careened into the catch-fencing. She was taken from the course on a sled, offering a wave to fans on her way. The extent of any possible injuries she might have suffered was not immediately known. "Mikaela took the sled down and is currently being evaluated," USA Ski & Snowboard said in a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter. "More info to come, but take solace in the fact that she asked about her splits." Shiffrin, 29, already has 13 more World Cup wins than the most successful man, Ingemar Stenmark, and 17 more than the second woman, compatriot Lindsey Vonn. Needing three wins to hit 100 to start the season, she bagged her 98th and 99th career titles with back-to-back slalom wins in Levi, Finland, and Gurgl, Austria. That gave her a chance to complete her century in front of home fans in Killington, not far from where she attended Burke Mountain Academy as a youngster. Shiffrin -- who has won six slaloms at Killington but never a giant slalom -- was greeted by ecstatic cheers as she crossed the finish line of the first leg atop the times. She was 17-hundredths of a second ahead of Hector after the second sector of her second run. But her day ended not in celebration but in the 21st "Did Not Finish" in her 274 career starts. Vonn, who has just announced plans to come out of retirement, posted on social media: "Hope @MikaelaShiffrin is OK." Hector was delighted with her win, while sympathetic to Shiffrin. "I'm very happy, after going through a difficult period," she said. "Obviously, I'm very sad for Mikaela who was skiing so well. "I saw her fall. My heart goes out to her," she added. Croatia's Zrinka Ljutic finished second, 54-hundredths of a second behind Hector, and Switzerland's Camille Rast was third, 1.05 seconds back. The women are scheduled to race a slalom on Sunday. bb

LA Galaxy strike early, hold off New York Red Bulls 2-1 to win their record 6th MLS Cup championship

Sunday's rivalry game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys lost some of its luster after Philly’s brutal loss to the Washington Commanders last week. Now just about locked into the No. 2 seed for the upcoming NFC playoffs, the Eagles have less to play for in Week 17, and can thus take a more cautious approach with key injured starters — like quarterback Jalen Hurts, who remained in the NFL’s concussion protocol as of Friday morning. While Philly still needs one win, or one Commanders loss, over the final two weeks to clinch the NFC East division title , the Cowboys are left playing out the string after being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs in Week 16. That makes Dallas’ lengthy injury report difficult to discern, as the team listed seven different players as questionable on Friday’s injury report. MORE: NFL picks, predictions for Week 17: Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys Who’s in, who’s out and who's starting at quarterback for this NFC East matchup? Here’s a full team-by-team injury breakdown, with the latest updates off of Friday’s practice reports: Eagles vs. Cowboys: Full injury designations Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) The Cowboys are reportedly shutting Lamb down for the season with his nagging shoulder injury, allowing the superstar wide receiver to rest and enter the offseason fully healthy. Brandin Cooks, Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin figure to lead the Cowboys’ wide receiver group going forward. DB Kemon Hall (hamstring) Hall was carving out a key role on special teams, but has been tending to a hamstring issue since last week’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . Hall has yet to play a defensive snap this season, but he did have a pick-six against the Raiders during the preseason. CB Amani Oruwariye (foot) Oruwariye played a season-high 71 snaps against the Bucs last week, but he was ruled out on Friday after injuring his foot in practice. Andrew Booth Jr. has been up the past couple of weeks, and he could see a boost in reps on Sunday. OG T.J. Bass (thigh) Bass got the start at right guard in Week 15, but hasn’t been back in the lineup since due to a thigh injury. Swiss Army Knife Brock Hoffman slid over to the right side last week against the Bucs and figures to play there again against the Eagles’ tough defensive front. LB Nick Vigil (foot) Vigil somewhat surprisingly got his first start of the season at inside linebacker last week, and held up well over 69 snaps . He’s been managing a foot issue for weeks, but appears to have passed former starter Damone Clark on the Cowboys' depth chart. He should be on track to play after logging a limited practice session on Friday. LB Eric Kendricks (calf) Kendricks was held out of last week’s game against the Bucs, thrusting Vigil into the starting lineup. He’s trending towards playing this week after practicing in a limited capacity on both Thursday and Friday. WR Jalen Tolbert (finger) Tolbert was limited in practice all week due to a finger issue. Rookie sixth-round pick Ryan Flournoy could be in for an extended look with Lamb out and Tolbert’s status in question. Flournoy caught all three of his targets for 41 yards last week against Tampa Bay. LT Chuma Edoga (toe) Edoga, working at left tackle for the Cowboys in recent weeks, was added to the injury report on Thursday with a toe injury. The issue is not considered serious and Edoga should be available for another start on Sunday. He was on the practice field in a limited capacity on Friday. S Donovan Wilson (knee) This is a new injury for Wilson, as he was listed on last week’s practice report with an elbow issue. The ailment is not expected to impact Wilson’s playing time on Sunday. He got in a capped practice session on Friday and is trending towards playing. WR Jalen Brooks (knee) Last year’s seventh-round draft pick has seen an uptick in playing time this season, and he caught his first career TD pass in Week 15 against the Carolina Panthers . With Lamb out and both Tolbert and Brooks uncertain, trade deadline acquisition Jonathan Mingo could step into an elevated role against the Eagles. OT Asim Richards (ankle) Richards was in the mix for the Cowboys on offense before landing on injured reserve with an ankle issue in Week 12. He appears to be nearing a return after practicing in full all week. Dallas would have to make a roster move, though, as Richards currently remains on IR. Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (concussion) This comes as no surprise, as the Eagles signed QB Ian Book to their practice squad on Thursday. Head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters on Friday that Hurts had not yet cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol. Kenny Pickett will get the start against Cooper Rush and the Cowboys, with Tanner McKee serving as Philly's backup QB. WR Britain Covey (neck) Covey’s situation continues to be a head-scratcher. He’s been listed with a neck injury for weeks, yet entered Friday as a full participant in seven consecutive practices. Sirianni was questioned on whether Covey was really just a healthy scratch. The coach gave a non-answer to the question, and Covey all of a sudden missed Friday’s practice with said neck injury. The Eagles have tightened their wide receiver rotation to four players: A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson. With rookie Cooper DeJean handling punts, Covey appears to be the odd man out in this numbers game. RB Will Shipley (concussion) The rookie will miss his first game of the season. Shipley has made his mark on special teams with backs Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell handling the load on offense. The Eagles added former seventh-round pick Lew Nichols to their practice squad this week. Philly will likely call up either Nichols or Tyrion Davis-Price to fill Shipley’s role on Sunday. LB Nakobe Dean (abdomen) Dean was able to practice in a limited capacity on both Thursday and Friday, but the doubtful tag makes it highly unlikely that he’ll play on Sunday. It will be a good test for Philly’s defense, as Dean and running mate Zack Baun have barely left the field as the team’s starting inside linebackers. The Eagles could finally unleash rookie Jeremiah Trotter Jr., but veteran Oren Burks appears to be the next man up on the depth chart. EDGE Bryce Huff (wrist) The Eagles opened Huff’s 21-day practice window last week, but he currently remains on injured reserve. He was listed as a full participant all week and appears on track to return against the Cowboys. Philly will first have to make a corresponding roster move to activate Huff back onto the 53-man roster.Albertsons sues Mariano's owner Kroger for failing to win approval of their proposed merger

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Voters dejected by the presidential election results need to find a way to give back and remain involved, Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday as they celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Clinton presidential library. The former president urged audience members in a packed theater to remain engaged and find ways to communicate with those they disagree with despite a divisive political time. The two spoke about a month after former President Donald Trump's win over Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election. “We’re just passing through, and we all need to just calm down and do something that builds people up instead of tears them down,” Bill Clinton said. Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state who was defeated by Trump in the 2016 election, said she understands the next couple of years are going to be challenging for voters who don't agree with the decisions being made. "In addition to staying involved and staying aware, it’s important to find something that makes you feel good about the day because if you’re in a constant state of agitation about our political situation, it is really going to shorten your life," she said. The Clintons spoke during a panel discussion with journalist Laura Ling, who the former president helped free in 2009 when she was detained in North Korea with another journalist. The event was held as part of a weekend of activities marking the 20th anniversary of the Clinton Presidential Library's opening in Little Rock. The library is preparing to undergo an update of its exhibits and an expansion that will include Hillary Clinton's personal archives. Hillary Clinton said part of the goal is to modernize the facility and expand it to make it a more open, inviting place for people for convene and make connections. When asked about advice he would give for people disappointed by the election results, Bill Clinton said people need to continue working toward bringing people together and improving others' lives. “If that's the way you keep score, then you ought to be trying to run up the score,” he said. “Not lamenting the fact that somebody else is winning a different game because they keep score a different way." “And in addition, figure out what we can do to win again,” Hillary Clinton added, eliciting cheers. The program featured a panel discussion with cast members of the hit NBC show “The West Wing” and former Clinton White House staffers. The weekend amounted to a reunion of former Clinton White House staffers, supporters and close friends, including former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and adviser James Carville. McAuliffe said he and Carville ate Friday at Doe's Eat Place, a downtown restaurant that was popular with Clinton aides and reporters during Clinton's 1992 White House run. He said he viewed the library and its planned expansion as important for the future. “This is not only about the past, but it's more importantly about the future," McAuliffe said. “We just went through a very tough election, and people are all saying we've got to get back to the Clinton model.”Wall Street's holiday cheer took a nosedive on Friday, as a significant sell-off hit all three main market benchmarks. Investors witnessed declines even in tech and growth stocks, putting an abrupt halt to a week-long rally driven by these sectors. Preliminary data showed that the S&P 500 dipped 65.34 points, or 1.08%, closing at 5,972.25. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 294.69 points, equating to a 1.47% loss to rest at 19,725.67, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 321.73 points, or 0.74%, to conclude at 42,992.58. Michael Reynolds, Glenmede's vice president of investment strategy, attributed the downturn to widespread profit-taking. This sell-off derailed the seasonal Santa Claus rally, typically seen at the year's end. Rising U.S. Treasury yields played a pivotal role, affecting business expansion costs and impacting tech megacaps, notably the 'Magnificent Seven.' The declining trend raised questions about valuations amidst rising borrowing costs.

Noussair Mazraoui warns Man Utd team-mates about 'tough time' amid Ruben Amorim changesshould be cause for complete and total celebration. The 23-year-old Japanese phenom will immediately become one of the game’s must-see players. Whichever team signs him will have itself . And Sasaki, as talented a young hurler as we’ve ever seen, will get to test his abilities at the highest level. Unfortunately, there’s also a much darker side to the story. And it has very little to do with Sasaki himself. Sasaki, as a non-American, non-Canadian player under the age of 25, will enter stateside baseball as part of international amateur free agency. The international market is an intricate, often unsavory world in which the overwhelming majority of players involved are Latin American teenagers. It is also an incredibly fragile ecosystem, one built upon handshake agreements and verbal promises. That means Sasaki’s entrance into the market has the potential to upend much of the 2025 international signing class, leaving a tornado of mayhem in its wake. There remains a small chance that Sasaki will sign within the 2024 international window, which ends Dec. 15 — that would greatly simplify this process — but commissioner Rob Manfred that he expects Sasaki to sign in the new year. That’s because his Japanese team, the Chiba Lotte Marines, will receive more money by making him available in 2025. But to understand how Sasaki’s MLB arrival could throw the international amateur market into disarray, it’s vital to first understand how the system works. Each year, all 30 MLB teams have a fixed amount of money that they can spend on signing bonuses for international amateur players, known colloquially as the “bonus pool.” The overwhelming majority of those players are Latin American teenagers, but once in a blue moon, a player such as Sasaki or Shohei Ohtani — an established professional from a foreign league who happens to be under the age of 25 — makes the leap and upsets the system. The size of each team’s annual budget depends on (1) a club’s market size and (2) whether the club signed a high-priced free agent who received a qualifying offer in the preceding year. For the upcoming 2025 window, the Dodgers and Giants have the smallest bonus pool size, at $5,146,200, while an octet of teams share the largest sum, at $7,555,500. But while teams cannot officially sign players in the 2025 class until Jan. 15, most amateurs have had verbal agreements in place for years, even though such “early deals” are technically against the rules. In other words, many MLB teams have already allocated their bonus budgets for the upcoming window. Which makes Roki Sasaki — a worthwhile, unexpected cost for the team that signs him — an agent of chaos. Sasaki’s decision to come to MLB now and not two years from now, when he would be a traditional free agent available to the highest bidder, suggests that maxing out his earnings is far from his top priority. The 23-year-old right hander is set to forgo at least $100 million. However, Sasaki isn’t going to sign for free, and there’s certainly a chance that the difference between $2.5 million and $5 million matters in the end. As a result, and because all deals for the 2025 amateur window are, for now, only verbal, a team interested in Sasaki is incentivized to renege or rework any big-ticket agreements currently in place to free up bonus money for the Japanese flamethrower. Here’s a theoretical example. One of the consensus top players in the class is a Dominican shortstop named Elian Peña, who has a verbal agreement with the New York Mets for a bonus north of $4 million. If the Mets think they have a strong chance at Sasaki and believe a few extra million in bonus money could make the difference, they could go to Peña’s representation and try to push down his agreed-upon bonus number. Peña’s reps, who under the current system have little leverage, could do one of two things: accept a reworked deal from the Mets or reopen negotiations with other teams. But while option No. 2 could recoup more money, that money might not be available anywhere. Remember, most teams have already allocated most of their budget. This is where things, according to sources familiar with the international market, could get even more complicated and chaotic. Teams not seriously involved in the Sasaki sweepstakes, knowing that talented amateurs could reenter the market at the last minute, might attempt to renegotiate verbal deals of their own in order to swoop in on those discarded players. That could create a disastrous domino effect in which clubs and players are attempting to rework deals at the 11th hour in a tumultuous, frantic game of musical chairs — all because Sasaki, a pitcher with nearly 400 career innings thrown in the world’s second-best league, somehow falls into the same category as a yet-to-be-paid 16-year-old. Others were skeptical that Sasaki’s arrival would create such a massive ripple effect, citing the importance of maintaining relationships with the trainers and agents who work with most of Latin America’s top amateurs. A team backing out of a deal at the last minute could create lasting discord with one or more of the region’s top power brokers. There’s also a chance that Sasaki, having already left so much money on the table, won’t be overly concerned with his final bonus amount, instead prioritizing the team with which he feels most comfortable. Sources indicated that the order of operations around Sasaki and any cutting of bonuses remains up in the air. It’s unclear whether teams will preemptively renegotiate deals before Jan. 15, the first day signings can be finalized, or wait until the fallout from Sasaki’s signing. But no matter the sequence, it's a near certainty that at least one unfortunate amateur is going to end up with a smaller bonus because of Sasaki’s odd fit within the system. The problem with the entire dynamic is that Sasaki and amateurs seven years his junior are lumped into the same structure. Sasaki will spend the entirety of 2025 in the major leagues; his fellow 2025 signees likely won’t debut until 2030 at the earliest. Sasaki could receive Cy Young votes next year. Most international amateurs will spend 2025 in the Dominican Summer League, the lowest level of professional affiliated baseball. The only other precedent here involves soon-to-be three-time MVP Shohei Ohtani, who made the leap across the Pacific after the 2017 season. But Ohtani’s entrance into the market did not create a whirlwind of chaos in Latin America because (1) his arrival was less of a surprise than Sasaki’s and (2) the signing deadline at the time was in July, not January, meaning Ohtani showed up in the middle of the fiscal year. Even so, Ohtani’s involvement in the international amateur system, a system meant for players of an altogether different type, didn’t make much sense at the time. And since then, that problem has not been fixed. In fact, it has gotten worse. One source called the system “a mess.” Another called it “broken.” Most teams are negotiating with players as young as 12, even though a player must be at least 16 years old on signing day. Some of the amateurs set to sign in the upcoming window verbally agreed to deals as early as spring 2021, around the time that Sasaki debuted in NPB. Yet because of the current international bonus rules, Sasaki’s contract will take money out of someone else’s pocket — which is not at all his fault. It’s like comparing apples and motorcycles. Every team would rather have Sasaki, particularly at such a low price, than any other player available in the 2025 class, and it’s not remotely close. Sasaski is the only proven commodity on offer. As one evaluator put it: “I would much rather sign Sasaki than wait six years to figure out if [a player from the 2025 international class] is good.”
