Cibus director Gerhard Prante sells $4,439 worth of stockGhana’s opposition leader John Mahama on Monday officially won the country’s election, easily defeating the ruling party candidate after voters punished the government’s economic management and the high costs of living. Mahama won 56 percent of the votes in Saturday’s presidential ballot, compared to the ruling party candidate and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia who secured 41 percent, the electoral commission said, announcing official results. The comeback for former president Mahama ends eight years in power for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) under President Nana Akufo-Addo, whose last term was marked by Ghana’s worst economic turmoil in years, an IMF bailout and a debt default. “I have the singular honour... to declare his excellency John Dramani Mahama as the winner,” Electoral Commission Chairperson Jean Mensa said, announcing the results. Vice President Bawumia, a former central banker, had already quickly conceded defeat on Sunday, acknowledging Ghanaians wanted change after the government failed to shake off widespread frustration. Bawumia also said the Mahama’s National Democratic Congress (NDC) party had also won the parliamentary vote in Saturday’s election. Official results for the parliament are still being tallied. Mahama, 66, previously failed twice to secure the presidency, but in Saturday’s election he managed to tap into expectations of change among Ghanaians. He has promised to “reset” Ghana, usher in economic revival and renegotiate parts of the country’s $3 billion IMF accord. With a history of democratic stability, Ghana’s two major parties, the NPP and NDC, have alternated in power equally since the return to multi-party politics in 1992. But Ghana’s economic woes dominated the 2024 election, after the continent’s top gold producer and world’s second cacao exporter went through a debt crisis, the default and currency devaluation. Turnout on Saturday was 60.9 percent, a slide in participation compared with 79 percent in the 2020 election, results showed. With a slogan “Break the 8” — a reference to two, four-year terms in power — Bawumia had sought to take the NPP to an unprecedented third mandate. But he struggled to break from criticism of Akufo-Addo’s economic record. While inflation slowed from more than 50 percent to around 23 percent, and other indicators stabilised, economic concerns were still a clear election issue for most Ghanaians. That frustration opened the way for a comeback from Mahama, who first came to the presidency in 2012 when he was serving as vice president and then President John Atta Mills died in office. During campaigning, the former president also faced criticism from those who remember his government’s own financial tribulations and especially the massive power blackouts that marred his time in office. AFPMy older brother is a New York Jets fan, and we talk after every Miami Dolphins and Jets game. He couldn’t see the game on Sunday, so he just saw the score and how it went to overtime. He said it looked like a typical Dolphins vs. Jets game. I said, “Yes, it was. The Dolphins should have lost the game on Sunday because the Jets were the better team, but the Jets have stupid coaches, and they bailed the Dolphins out.” I was very disappointed in the Dolphins’ defense on Sunday. They were bad, and yes, they had a 5-yard loss and a sack on back-to-back plays on the final possession. Kendall Fuller was able to get Devante Adams out of bounds to keep time on the clock, but for the most part, the Jets’ offense had its way with the Dolphins. It started up front where the Jets don’t have a very good offensive line, but they ran the ball decently against the Dolphins with two rookie running backs drafted late in the draft. The Dolphins were giving up 4 yards a carry, making you wonder why the Jets didn’t keep running it. The Dolphins were missing a tackle and not getting much push up front. Aaron Rodgers picked apart the Dolphins all day long, throwing his first 300-yard game in over two years. Adams and Garrett Wilson looked like the duo the Jets had been looking for all season. The Dolphins had no answers for them. I feel like the Dolphins have more holes than ever on defense, and they are getting labeled as being soft , and it’s more than justified. The Dolphins don’t set the tone up front and get pushed, especially against good teams, but the Jets aren’t even an average team. Our defensive line lacks physicality as a whole and can’t dominate up front. I knew it would be different this year after losing Christian Wilkins , but the Dolphins banked on 38-year-old Calais Campbell and many guys on one-year contracts. Campbell and Zach Seiler have played well, but the other guys don’t give the effort those guys offer. The Dolphins have to find some younger, bigger, and more physical players to compliment Seiler on the defensive line next year, or we are going to see the same issues upfront. The Dolphins also need better linebackers. Yes, Jordan Brooks has played well but missed some tackles on Sunday. Anthony Walker has provided a little spark after moving on from David Long but has durability issues. The Dolphins need to find an inside linebacker who can run sideline to sideline and make tackles—one who doesn’t take bad angles, over-pursue, and miss the ball carrier. It’s been a while since the Dolphins have had that type of linebacker. Instead, they have had undersized guys who aren’t physical enough against the better teams. How many games this year have we seen the Dolphins miss over ten tackles? Too many. That’s why they were overmatched by the Green Bay Packers, and it cost them the game against the Arizona Cardinals on their final drive to win earlier this year. And the safeties are horrible as a group. Jordan Poyer needs to retire because he can’t play anymore, and it is so clear every time you watch him play. He’s not as fast as he used to be, and he is a liability. Jevon Holland is supposed to be our blue-chip safety for years to come, and his contract is up after the season. Well, I would tell him to take a walk after the season because his play has been uninspiring to say the least. He takes bad angle,s and he and Poyer are constantly having communication issues in the secondary. The Dolphins have to tear down that position as well and more physical ball-hawking safeties. I’m not going to place the blame on defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver because it’s an easy cop-out. I blame the person who put this team together, and that’s general manager Chris Grier. I don’t know why he thought this defense would be good signing older players and a bunch of scrap-free agents to one-year deals. He should have done a better job last offseason. If he returns next year, this team currently has ten draft pick,s and he needs to use at least half of them to rebuild this defense. It needs to get younger, and it needs players that are tough-minded and physical. This group as a whole doesn’t have it. They also need to get faster. I understand the Dolphins went into the season without their top pass rushers from a season ago coming off season-ending injuries, but that’s on Grier for not stocking up the defense better. This side of the ball went through change with free-agent losses, and it needs more change next year. If they don’t, then it’s going to be the same soft defense. You can change the defensive coordinator, but that would be lazy putting lipstick on the pig. If the Dolphins want to shed the soft label on defense, go find more tough-minded players.

GMA's Lara Spencer gives painful health update that leaves co-hosts in shock By RACHEL BOWMAN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 18:18 EST, 12 December 2024 | Updated: 18:21 EST, 12 December 2024 e-mail 45 shares 39 View comments Good Morning America's Lara Spencer has revealed she was off the airwaves this week due to two painful surgeries on both of her feet. The television host, 55, took to Instagram detailing her operations and shared a photo of her bandaged feet. She posted a photo with her surgeon thanking him for his help and declaring she is on the mend. 'If I look a little groggy it's thanks to this guy who just gave me a new pair of boots,' Spencer said. The mother-of-two explained why she needed each operation, revealing she suffered an agonizing injury in college . 'My right foot was easy - just had plate removed from surgery last year. The left is a bigger deal from a very old college diving injury. I was doing a reverse one-and-a-half and hit the board, shattering toes and joints,' Spencer said. 'Back then they said there was nothing you could do except tape it, let it heal, and live with the pain. Today there are much better options, thanks to surgeons like Dr. Marty O'Malley at HSS.' Colleagues and fans flooded her comments with well wishes and messages of a speedy recovery.

NEW YORK — The man charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was not a client of the medical insurer and may have targeted it because of its size and influence, a senior police official said Thursday. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told NBC New York in an interview Thursday that investigators have uncovered evidence that Luigi Mangione had prior knowledge UnitedHealthcare was holding its annual investor conference in New York City. Mangione also mentioned the company in a note found in his possession when he was detained by police in Pennsylvania. Suspect Luigi Mangione is taken into the Blair County Courthouse on Tuesday in Hollidaysburg, Pa. "We have no indication that he was ever a client of United Healthcare, but he does make mention that it is the fifth largest corporation in America, which would make it the largest healthcare organization in America. So that's possibly why he targeted that company," Kenny said. UnitedHealthcare is in the top 20 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization but is not the fifth largest. It is the largest U.S. health insurer. Mangione remains jailed without bail in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested Monday after being spotted at a McDonald's in the city of Altoona, about 230 miles west of New York City. His lawyer there, Thomas Dickey, said Mangione intends to plead not guilty. Dickey also said he had yet to see evidence decisively linking his client to the crime. Mangione's arrest came five days after the caught-on-camera killing of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel. Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate, was arrested on December 9, 2024, after a six-day manhunt and charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. His arrest has sparked a viral social media movement, with many hailing him as a symbol of resistance against systemic healthcare failures. The #FreeLuigi movement gained significant traction, with his social media profiles amassing over 100,000 new followers before being suspended. Despite this, the movement continues to trend, highlighting public discontent with the U.S. healthcare system. Some social media users argue that Mangione's radicalization stemmed from the struggles faced by millions in obtaining necessary healthcare, and not from his university education. Mangione’s arrest at a McDonald's in Altoona led to the seizure of a "ghost gun," a suppressor, fake IDs, and a manifesto criticizing the healthcare system. While the manifesto seems to admit guilt, some users question Mangione's responsibility, pointing out discrepancies in surveillance photos. The fascination with Mangione has only intensified, with discussions about his attractiveness and comparisons to characters in Ryan Murphy's productions. The phenomenon is reminiscent of society's long-standing obsession with infamous criminals, blurring lines between horror and hero worship. Former FBI agent Rob D’Amico noted that Mangione is seen by some as a "Robin Hood" figure fighting against corporate greed, which complicates the investigation. Police say the shooter waited outside the hotel, where the health insurer was holding its investor conference, early Dec. 4. He approached Thompson from behind and shot him before fleeing on a bicycle through Central Park. Mangione is fighting attempts to extradite him back to New York so that he can face a murder charge in Thompson's killing. A hearing was scheduled for Dec. 30. The 26-year-old, who police say was found with a " ghost gun " matching shell casings found at the site of the shooting, is charged in Pennsylvania with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Luigi Mangione was arrested Monday in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in connection with the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in what law enforcement has called a "targeted attack." Mangione is from a prominent Maryland family with extensive business interests. The Mangione family is known for developing real estate and running businesses. Relatives expressed shock over the arrest and offered condolences to Thompson’s family. Mangione faces multiple charges, including murder, firearm possession, and forgery, in New York and Pennsylvania. Mangione is an Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family. In posts on social media, Mangione wrote about experiencing severe chronic back pain before undergoing a spinal fusion surgery in 2023. Afterward, he posted that the operation was a success and that his pain improved and mobility returned. He urged others to consider the same type of surgery. On Wednesday, police said investigators are looking at his writings about his health problems and his criticism of corporate America and the U.S. health care system. Kenny said in the NBC interview that Mangione's family reported him missing to San Francisco authorities in November.

Music played in the background. But those six words levitated above the commotion of the night. It’s rare when I meet someone who knew my father, Joe Davich, who died on Christmas Eve, 1987. He was 50. I was 25. It feels like he’s been gone 37 lifetimes ago, not 37 years. My memories of him fade a bit more each year like images in a rear view mirror on a long drive. I’ve been patching together distant reflections of my dad for many years. My memories look like snapshot photos from an old Polaroid camera, not streaming videos from the newest iPhone. If you have parents or older loved ones who died many years ago, you may have similarly sketchy memories of them. Any information or insights or anecdotes, no matter how minuscule, feel like a gift from strangers. This is especially true if those loved ones lived before the Digital Age emerged, allowing us the opportunity to capture their lives with modern technology. I have only a photo album or two of old photos of my dad, along with some of his belongings. It’s a decades-old puzzle that’s missing quite a few pieces. It will never be complete but I’m always looking for new pieces from people who knew him, as if they’ve been tucked in their pocket since his death. For anyone whose parents are no longer here, we instinctively attempt to flesh out who they were when we weren’t paying attention. When I meet someone who knew my dad, I tend to ask the same question: What was he like? Was he funny? Ornery? Angry? Charismatic? Was he smoking a cigar? Was he telling dirty jokes? Was he making friends out of strangers? “His kindness towards me, his work ethic, humor and unconditional love for his family is how I remember him. I’m pretty sure anyone else who ever got to know him, even a little, would agree,” Marciniak told me. She knew my dad beginning in 1979, when she was in her early twenties. Marciniak owned a flowers and gift shop called Favorite Pastimes in downtown Chesterton, the first store to occupy the Main Street building. “One of the things I remember about that time were the relationships that I had with the other business owners, and the almost family-type support system we shared,” she said. A barber named Dick Anderson. Child’s Portion, a children’s clothing boutique. And Leonard’s Restaurant, now known as Peggy Sue’s Diner, to name a few. Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | RSS Feed | SoundStack | All Of Our Podcasts “We saw each other practically every day. We looked out for each other,” Marciniak said. My family’s restaurant business, Uncle’s, was located just a few storefronts down on Calumet Ave. “He was proud of his brick-and-mortar business, which was hard, hard work every day,” Marciniak said. “It was a great addition to the downtown, and a lifesaver for me when I was too lazy to make a lunch the night before or just had a taste for one of the many great sandwich offerings.” She described my father as “larger than life,” a kind thing to tell his son. Unlike me, my dad had the gift of gab. He could talk to a dimly lit lamppost in a dark alley and it would brighten up. “He would wander in sometimes after the lunch rush and we had conversations about business, Chesterton and, of course, food,” Marciniak said. “He often had the end of a cigar in his mouth and usually a smile on his face. He had a great laugh and laughed often.” “But the best conversations we had were about his family. He lit up when telling me about them. He beamed with pride when talking about his wife and kids,” Marciniak said. I may have presumed this because the concept of family was so important to him. But I had never been told this from a stranger or old friend. It’s one thing to pretend something is true. It’s another thing to have it confirmed again and again. “Joe once confided in me the concerns he had for Joe Jr. and his alcohol and addiction struggles,” Marciniak said. My big brother, Joe Jr., struggled with an addiction to alcohol, drugs and an unconventional lifestyle since his teen years. My dad and I never really talked about my brother’s addiction problems despite the role it played in our personal life and our family business. “When I think about it now, as a mother and grandmother, it must have been terrifying,” Marciniak said. “Despite his fears and the sadness of watching his son struggle, he was fiercely proud of Joe Jr. Why did he tell me about this deeply personal worry? I don’t know.” I don’t know either. But I understand the need to do so. I’ve been sharing this deeply personal aspect of my life with thousands of strangers through my writing. This career, which I didn’t have during my father’s life, is what led me to that unexpected encounter with Marciniak last week. I asked her afterward for any other remembrances of my dad. “Joe Davich was an unforgettable man,” she replied. Isn’t this what all of us want to hear about loved ones who seem more like a ghost every year.Mark Allen's UK Championship semi-final clash with Barry Hawkins on Saturday night was a game even the most devoted of snooker fans would have struggled to stick with. The match started at 7pm in the York Barbican and it took almost two and a half hours for the first four frames to be played and give everyone a break for the mid session interval. It's a race to six frames for a place in the final against Judd Trump. After another drawn out affair in frame five after the interval, the BBC commentary team began to suspect Antrim man Allen was playing games of a different sort. Indeed, it was Allen's regular sparring partner Shaun Murphy who labelled the pace of play a 'clear gameplan' from the world No.3. Read next: Mark Allen believes he may need to 'see someone' after worrying admission on his results Read next: Mark Allen says Ronnie O'Sullivan is GOAT but he is 'law unto himself' and should show 'more respect' "It's completely within the rules, he's not doing anything wrong. But at what stage do we question whether the amount of time Mark Allen is taking over simple decisions is a tactic to annoy his opponent?," said Shaun Murphy. "I think we are witnessing an extremely clever, well thought out match from Mark Allen to try and beat the man. "It's an old school tactic. It's from a playbook my generation and Mark's generation are from. And it's perfectly within the rules. But I can't see any reason, other than that for why he's taking so long. As you look at Barry in his chair, you might say it was working." John Parrott was on co commentary and countered, adding: "I grew up playing against Terry Griffiths and Cliff Thorborn. Trust me, that was no day at the beach. You just got to find a way to comepete with it and put up with it. "If someone plays slow, you got to have patience." On the table, Allen took frame five with a break of 64 - his highest of the match to date from either player. Another epic frame followed with Allen again coming out on top - despite Murphy being baffled by some of Allen's shot selections once again. Other world champions, Steve Davis and Ken Doherty, were asked about the possible tactic and how that was in sharp contrast to Allen's usual pacy play. The 'Pistol' is defending champion of the snooker Shoot Out, where speedy play is the order of the day. "I'm not sure it's deliberate, like Shaun says," replied six-time world champ Davis. "He probably would have been in the top three or four fastest players in the world but over the last couple of seasons he'd be way down. His average shot time is 32 seconds (here)," remarked Dubliner Doherty. Davis added: "He's been getting success by being more granite and obviously that encourages him to do more of it. He's gone back to his coach with a view to alignment or technical issues. I've got a feeling that's a red herring. "I think his coach should be telling him to speed up, get a bit of rhythm, get a bit of feel back. Because without playing shots regularly, you lose your touch. If you are playing disjointed snooker, you get out of position." The race to six semi-final ran long into the night in York ahead of Sunday's final. With three hours played, Allen led 4-2.
