NBC Sports Bet Best Bet Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes OG Anunoby to go Over his 15.5 points prop against the Utah Jazz: “In 11 games this month, Anunoby scored at least 15 points in eight out of those contests and 16-plus in seven games. The Knicks’ forward averages 19.4 points per game on the month and 36.6 minutes per game. OG’s shooting 51/40/83 splits on the month and is in a good spot after only taking seven field goal attempts in his last outing. In the two times that he had less than 10 field goal attempts, OG bounced back with 21 and 14 points on 8-of-15 and 6-of-12 from the field in the following games. Utah is a soft matchup for OG to exploit and with Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns as the two of the top most bet players on the slate, I like taking a shot on the third-leading scorer for New York.” Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Knicks and the Jazz: · Moneyline : NBC Sports finds confidence in taking New York on the ML (-360) · Spread : NBC Sports has strong confidence in New York -8.5 on the spread · Total : NBC Sports has low confidence towards a play on the Total UNDER 232.5 points Want even more NBA best bets and predictions from our expert staff & tools?

Lewandowski joins exclusive 100 UCL goals clubMusic maestro A.R. Rahman has issued a legal notice to slanderers, warning of dire consequences if objectionable content surrounding his divorce from his wife, Saira Banu, is not removed from their respective platforms. A.R. Rahman took to X (formerly Twitter) and shared this information through a four-page legal notice, which reads: TO WHOMSOEVER IT CONCERNS Under instructions from my client Mr.A.R.Rahman, residing at No.5, 4th Street, Dr. Subbarayan Nagar, Kodambakkam, Chennai 600 024, I issue the following notice to all concerned: 1. My client a few days back informed through his X (twitter) about the dissolution of the marriage. "We had hoped to reach the grand thirty, but all things, it seems, carry an unseen end. Even the throne of God might tremble at the weight of broken hearts. Yet, in this shattering, we seek meaning, though the pieces may not find their place again. To our friends, thank you for... - A.R.Rahman (@arrahman) November 19, 2024 2. It must also be informed even the leading newspapers carried the news as well as the joint statement of the couple citing emotional strain as the reason for their decision. My client had received overwhelming messages from all well-wishers expressing their sorrow and support at this hour of crisis. 3. While it is so that it is noticed some of the social media platforms and several YouTubers have started a series of calumny and defamatory write-ups about the same with their own concocted and fertile imaginary stories on their private life. There were also interviews by some busybodies about their own perspectives on the failure of their marriage life. It is unnecessary to reproduce each one of the statements that was spread across the social-media platform which is intended to spread knowledge and awareness.

In the 2021 polls, the BJP candidate E Sreedharan lost to Shafi Parambil by a mere 3800 votes, one of the best performances of a BJP candidate in the assembly polls where the CPM came back to power for the second time in a row. Right wing social media handlers and online media houses that were predicting a BJP win in the constituency blamed state president K Surendran alleging that there was a major ‘flaw’ in the state party leadership who was not able to carry along all the leaders and cadres on the same platform. Palakkad: The unprecedented loss for BJP in Palakkad assembly constituency is not just a shocker, but also a double whammy for the party which had high hopes riding on an electrifying campaign where the spirited state leaders worked alongside with the full support of the RSS machinery. Party leaders are yet to decipher the exact reason as why C Krishna Kumar, a local leader and a municipality councilor who had deep connections with the public lost to a candidate hailing from Pathanamthitta by more than 18,000 votes. In the 2021 polls, the BJP candidate E Sreedharan lost to Shafi Parambil by a mere 3800 votes, one of the best performances of a BJP candidate in the assembly polls where the CPM came back to power for the second time in a row. Right wing social media handlers and online media houses that were predicting a BJP win in the constituency blamed state president K Surendran alleging that there was a major ‘flaw’ in the state party leadership who was not able to carry along all the leaders and cadres on the same platform. The biggest shock from Palakkad is the erosion of votes from the urban areas of Palakkad. The party cadres who worked in the booth level feels that internal feud within the party has led to the dip in voter share. However, a section of local leaders feel that there was a total consolidation of SDPI and Jamaal-e-Islami that led to the victory of the Congress party. The BJP leadership was expecting that CPM candidate Sarin will be able to attract the minority votes and hence could dent the prospects of the Congress. However, the phenomenon of ‘vote cutting’ did not happen. “It is very clear that the entire votes of the two prominent radical groups have gone to the UDF and that has helped them secure the big victory. Secondly there were clear discord within certain leaders within the party in Palakkad. Cadres were not happy with these developments. This led to the erosion of votes in the corporation and the municipality areas where the party was expected to do well. In the town limits itself the party lost 4000 votes”, said a senior BJP leader in Palakkad on conditions of anonymity. BJP had expected a lead of nearly 3000 in the first two rounds and wanted it to cross 10,000 by the time counting was over for urban booths. Within an hour of counting, Krishnakumar’s lead dropped below 1000. Then on, it was a tale of going from bad to worse. Even the LDF candidate P Sarin was making gains in the initial rounds, making it even more difficult for Krishnakumar. In the fifth round, Krishnakumar clinched a sizeable lead of 2381, reigniting hopes in the saffron camp. It was short-lived as Rahul romped home in the remaining rounds. BJP never had anything to hope from rounds 8 to 14. In rounds 8, 9, 10 and 11, Rahul was untouchable, polling votes between 4200-6770. By the end of counting, Rahul emerged with record majority pocketing 42 per cent of total polled votes which was higher than 38.06 per cent polled by Shafi Parambil in 2021. The writing on the wall was almost clear when the lead had marginally dipped in urban wards in Palakkad during the Lok Sabha elections in 2024. BJP’s lead was just 497 in municipality booths during the general elections. Going by the by-poll results, it seems the vote share of the BJP in urban wards had further dropped. BJP will have to answer several questions to see how a stronghold slid away under their watch. BJP candidate C Krishnakumar has said that the results would be analysed ahead of local body polls in Kerala. Most of the BJP leaders when contacted did not react to the poll results in Kerala by-polls. However, C Krishna Kumar, the BJP candidate from Palakkad said that the party will analyse the vote shares and will work accordingly as the local body polls are arriving in a year’s time.

BEIRUT (AP) — In 2006, after a bruising monthlong war between Israel and Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah militant group, the United Nations Security Council unanimously voted for a resolution to end the conflict and pave the way for lasting security along the border. But while there was relative calm for nearly two decades, Resolution 1701’s terms were never fully enforced. Now, figuring out how to finally enforce it is key to approved by Israel on Tuesday. In late September, after nearly , the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah spiraled into all-out war and an . As Israeli jets pound deep inside Lebanon and Hezbollah fires rockets deeper into northern Israel, U.N. and diplomatic officials again turned to the 2006 resolution in Years of deeply divided politics and regionwide geopolitical hostilities have halted substantial progress on its implementation, yet the international community believes Resolution 1701 is still the brightest prospect for long-term stability between Israel and Lebanon. Almost two decades after the last war between Israel and Hezbollah, the United States led shuttle diplomacy efforts between Lebanon and Israel to agree on a ceasefire proposal that renewed commitment to the resolution, this time with an implementation plan to try to bring the document back to life. What is UNSC Resolution 1701? In 2000, Israel withdrew its forces from most of southern Lebanon along a U.N.-demarcated “Blue Line” that separated the two countries and the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, which most of the world considers occupied Syrian territory. , increased their presence along the line of withdrawal. Resolution 1701 was supposed to complete Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon and ensure Hezbollah would move north of the Litani River, keeping the area exclusively under the Lebanese military and U.N. peacekeepers. Up to 15,000 U.N. peacekeepers would help to maintain calm, return displaced Lebanese and secure the area alongside the Lebanese military. The goal was long-term security, with land borders eventually demarcated to resolve territorial disputes. The resolution also reaffirmed previous ones that call for the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon — Hezbollah among them. “It was made for a certain situation and context,” Elias Hanna, a retired Lebanese army general, told The Associated Press. “But as time goes on, the essence of the resolution begins to hollow.” Has Resolution 1701 been implemented? For years, Lebanon and Israel blamed each other for countless violations along the tense frontier. Israel said Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force and growing arsenal remained, and accused the group of using a to spy on troops. Lebanon complained about Israeli military jets and even when there was no active conflict. “You had a role of the UNIFIL that slowly eroded like any other peacekeeping with time that has no clear mandate,” said Joseph Bahout, the director of the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy at the American University of Beirut. “They don’t have permission to inspect the area without coordinating with the Lebanese army.” UNIFIL for years has urged Israel to but to no avail. In the ongoing war, the , of obstructing and harming its forces and infrastructure. Hezbollah’s power, meanwhile, has grown, both in its arsenal and as a political influence in the Lebanese state. The Iran-backed group was essential in keeping in power when armed opposition groups tried to topple him, and it supports Iran-backed groups in Iraq and Yemen. It has an estimated 150,000 rockets and missiles, including precision-guided missiles pointed at Israel, and . Hanna says Hezbollah “is something never seen before as a non-state actor” with political and military influence. How do mediators hope to implement 1701 almost two decades later? Israel’s security Cabinet approved the ceasefire agreement late Tuesday, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office. The ceasefire is set to take hold at 4 a.m. local time Wednesday. for the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah underscored that they still view the resolution as key. For almost a year, Washington has promoted various versions of a deal that would gradually lead to its full implementation. International mediators hope that by boosting financial support for the Lebanese army — which was not a party in the Israel-Hezbollah war — Lebanon can deploy some 6,000 additional troops south of the Litani River to help enforce the resolution. Under the deal, an international monitoring committee headed by the United States would oversee implementation to ensure that Hezbollah and Israel’s withdrawals take place. It is not entirely clear how the committee would work or how potential violations would be reported and dealt with. The circumstances now are far more complicated than in 2006. Some are still skeptical of the resolution’s viability given that the political realities and balance of power both regionally and within Lebanon have dramatically changed since then. “You’re tying 1701 with a hundred things,” Bahout said. “A resolution is the reflection of a balance of power and political context.” Now with the ceasefire in place, the hope is that Israel and Lebanon can begin negotiations to demarcate their land border and settle disputes over several points along the Blue Line for long-term security after decades of conflict and tension.

Editor's Note: The Herald-Citizen newsroom staff compiled a summary of our most-read stories of 2024 based on page visits to our website. 1&2. Suicide reported on Tech campus Saturday, Nov. 2 The two most read stories of 2024 concerned the suicide of Tennessee Tech University junior Philip ‘Ethan’ Haynes on Nov. 2. According to the university, a then-unnamed student committed suicide on the campus’ A Street, between Dixie Avenue and North Peachtree Street in the hours before Tech’s homecoming parade. Three days later, Tennessee Tech President Phil Oldham informed the campus community of the student’s identity. Haynes, from Nashville, was a conservation biology major. He had married his wife, Desiree, in September. In a GoFundMe campaign set up to support Haynes’ family, he was described as “a beloved husband, son and friend.” The campaign has raised almost $6,500. 3. Cookeville man arrested after Walmart shooting, June 17 Ethan Chase Wilmoth, 26, was arrested by officers from the Cookeville Police Department June 15 after a shooting at the South Jefferson Avenue Walmart. Wilmoth was accused of firing at his uncle after an argument in the store’s parking lot. Wilmoth’s uncle was allegedly grazed by the bullet, which continued in the direction of the building. Wilmoth was charged with aggravated assault, aggravated reckless endangerment and unlawful possession of a firearm. The charges were dismissed by Putnam County General Sessions Judge Steven Randolph in August. 4. Six students score perfect 36 on ACT, Nov. 25 For perhaps the first time in Cookeville High School history, six students scored a perfect 36 on the ACT college entrance exam. Trace Anderson plans to attend Tennessee Tech and study civil engineering. Jonathan Hill and Peter Goodman are headed to Brigham Young University, where Hill plans to study software engineering and Goodman is considering photonics, the science and technology of light. Brayden Gallagher plans to major in history or political science on a pre-law track. Samuel Canfield plans to study mechanical engineering, and Katherine Smith is a current early decision applicant at Vanderbilt for applied mathematics. 5. One dead after early morning shooting, March 12 One person died in an early morning shooting in the parking lot at Hooligan’s Half Irish Pub March 12. According to the Cookeville Police Department, the body of 36-year-old Christopher Posey was found when officers responded. A press release said Posey suffered injuries “consistent with an apparent gunshot wound.” Authorities said the shooting seemed to be an isolated incident, and there was no reason to believe the public was in any danger. According to the CPD, the shooting is still under investigation. 6. Upper Cumberland Regional Airport handles first ever 737, March 21 The 737-400 was launched in 1985 to fill the gap between two other models of aircraft the Boeing Corporation made — the 737-300 and the 757-200. It has capacity to hold 188 passengers, but the Upper Cumberland airport has not yet been certified by the FAA to offer commercial passenger service, although efforts to offer commercial passenger service are underway. "The freight companies have reached out to us before, but this is the first time we've ever ground handled a 737," airport manager Dean Selby said. "They called ahead of time and said we need to pick up some freight and asked if (the airport) could handle it. We looked at the weights, and everything was fine." The aircraft landed at the 6,700-foot runway and was on the ground for just over an hour. Once it was loaded, the plane took off for a "just in time" delivery to Illinois. "We'll probably start seeing this a little more often," Selby said, noting that the 737 is "quieter than half the aircraft that we already handle." Typically, such aircraft have flown in and out of airports in Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga or Smyrna. 7. Cookeville man faces drug charges after traffic stop, March 25 Jerred Ryan Griggs, 34, of Cookeville, was arrested on March 21, following a traffic stop by the Cookeville Police Department. According to a report by Officer Zachary Davidson, Griggs allegedly consented to a search of his vehicle, which yielded a container containing what was believed to by fentanyl, a cut straw and several small baggies. Griggs also consented to a search of his phone, where officers allegedly discovered evidence that Griggs was selling the fentanyl. Griggs’ case has been bound over to the Putnam County Grand Jury. His next court date is scheduled for Jan. 23. 8. Cookeville council votes to save Christmas parade, Oct. 24 After a week of controversy surrounding new rules regarding the Cookeville Christmas Parade, the city council announced that they would continue the tradition of the annual event. "We wanted to make sure there was a Christmas Parade, and we know that there has, to be honest, been some controversy of how it was going to move forward," Mayor Laurin Wheaton said at the time. "At the end of the day, I think this council wanted a Christmas parade. We want something for the community. And we have come together, and we are going to try this for this year." The council's decision came about a month after a group called the Cookeville Christian Christmas Parade, LLC began circulating a 12-page application form requiring parade participants to sign a "statement of faith." The annual parade had previously been organized through a committee with the Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce. Last year, for "safety reasons" that committee excluded the Upper Cumberland Pride group from participating in the parade, and the chamber president said that led to "malicious attacks" against her and the chamber, which led to the chamber officials' decision not to participate in the parade this year. The controversy sparked by the new parade rules led to the formation of another group, Cookeville Inclusive, whose members were in discussion to host an inclusive holiday parade. The Cookeville parade this year was scheduled for Dec. 14 but was ultimately postponed and then canceled because of windy and rainy weather conditions. Cookeville area churches hosted a Happy Birthday Jesus Party on Dec. 21 in the First Baptist Church parking lot with free food, bounce houses, train rides, balloon animals, live nativity and worship celebration with cake. 9. Arson suspected in early morning fire calls, Jan. 10 A Brush Creek man was arrested Jan. 10 after a series of fires were started at several Cookeville businesses early that morning. According to the Cookeville Fire Department, beginning at Chipotle on Interstate Drive, someone went to several businesses damaging gas meters and setting them on fire. Chief Benton Young said a quick response from firefighters kept the damage contained. In all, the CFD said damage was reported at Chipotle, Cheddars, Buffalo Wild Wings, Logan’s Roadhouse and Drake’s, where the alleged perpetrator was confronted by workers pressure washing the parking lot. 49-year-old Gary L. Collins was later arrested by the Cookeville Police Department and charged with vandalism and three counts of arson. His arrest warrant estimated he had caused approximately $20,000 worth of damages. Collins pleaded guilty in Putnam County Criminal Court Jan. 29. 10. Community mourns loss of Upperman student, Oct. 30 UHS Senior Cameron Kelly was killed Tuesday, Oct. 29, from injuries sustained in a car crash in Georgia. "Cameron will be remembered for his kind heart and infectious laugh," reads his obituary. "His larger-than-life personality drew people to him and allowed him to minister to those he loved when they were struggling or hurting. He shared his heart and his love for Jesus not just here, but all over the world."HOUSTON (AP) — Tyler Herro scored 27 points before being one of six people ejected after a fight in the final minute of the Miami Heat’s 104-100 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night.

The New York Jets and quarterback Aaron Rodgers are at a crossroads. The experiment was doomed the moment Rodgers tore his Achilles in his Jets debut. New York has since earned a top-10 pick, fired its head coach and general manager, and descended toward the top of another draft. No one would blame the Jets for moving on from Rodgers after the year. No one would blame the passer for hanging up the cleats and calling it a Canton-bound career. © Brad Penner-Imagn Images But both parties have a decision to make, and with six games remaining, the end of Rodgers’ time in New York could be quickly approaching. On Tuesday, Rodgers spoke on “The Pat McAfee Show” about his future, revealing that he was unsure about retirement but happy to run it back with the Jets. Aaron Rodgers spoke with @PatMcAfeeShow on his future with the Jets. pic.twitter.com/lLm46pw2Sj “These have been two of the best years of my life, as much as it’s been frustrating and difficult, it’s been two really beautiful years,” Rodgers said . “... Playing in New York would obviously be my first choice, if I wanna play.” Related: New Information Or Rumor On Rodgers? Frankly, Rodgers’ word isn’t particularly valuable in this instance. Saying he’d prefer to quarterback another team would’ve been a cataclysmic disaster of Jetsian proportions, which Rodgers doesn’t stand to benefit from. It also would’ve given more credence to The Athletic’s recent reporting that suggested he wants to play elsewhere. Based on his recent comments, he’d probably be more willing to back up Jordan Love in Green Bay than make the media outlet look good. There also aren’t many options for Rodgers to pivot to, should New York not work out. On the wrong side of 40 and an Achilles tear, coming off the worst season of his career, teams are no longer checking in to see if a Hall of Famer is hitting free agency. Thus, retirement remains the most pressing alternative to whatever this Jets team has become. He can end his career underwhelming, failing to deliver on the promise he made to the fan base. But he can do it on his terms . And that’s the way Rodgers plays the game. The way this season has gone, New York might not let Rodgers decide to return in 2025. He has six games to put himself back into the team’s long-term plans, and that starts on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.
