wild casino bonus rules NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose to records Tuesday after Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs created only some ripples on Wall Street, even if they could roil the global economy were they to take effect. The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% to top the all-time high it set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 123 points, or 0.3%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite gained 0.6% as Microsoft and Big Tech led the way.Fears grow over invasion of 'unusually brainy' dog-sized lizards 'that eat everything in sight' By JAMES CIRRONE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 16:15, 14 December 2024 | Updated: 16:18, 14 December 2024 e-mail View comments The invasion of a lizard species that is the size of a dog has sparked concern as it wreaks havoc on ecosystems across the South. Central to experts' fears is the fact the roughly five-foot-long Argentine black and white tegu eats 'truly anything,' University of Florida wildlife professor Frank Mazzotti told The Palm Beach Post . They devour quail, chicken, turtle and even alligator eggs as well as turkeys, gopher tortoises and ground-nesting birds. They also feast on gopher fruit, vegetables, plants and pet food. This insatiable appetite poses a threat to native wildlife, and now the beast has spread to more states, including Florida, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and even Maryland. 'Because they can live in many more places and eat everything, there is not going to be a whole lot to stop them,' Mazzotti warned. It is not known precisely how many of these highly intelligent creatures are currently in the United States, but there have been nearly 10,000 sightings since 2002, according to a database created by the University of Georgia's Center of Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health. The vast majority of reports were in Florida, specifically in the Southern Glades Wildlife and Environmental Area, which is south of Miami. There was one sighting in Maryland and five in Texas . The Argentine black and white tegu lizard can reach up to five feet long, have a varied diet and can exist in a wide variety of environments Pictured: The Southern Glades Wildlife and Environmental Area, where tegu lizards are thriving While the Southern Glades Wildlife park seems to be their primary hangout, they have also been spotted in Miami itself and even the upscale city of West Palm Beach, where one resident found the lizard in a parking lot. And as Mazzotti and others have pointed out, tegus can thrive in a variety of different environments, which makes controlling their numbers nearly impossible. In 2019, Bryan Falk, who was the supervisory invasive species biologist at Everglades National Park at that time, called them ' do-everything lizards .' 'They are happy in many different environments, whether that is a natural or disturbed habitat. We once had a report of a tegu living in a dryer vent in someone’s house in Homestead,' said Falk, who is now a program analyst for the National Invasive Species Council, an agency contained within the US Department of Interior. Another reason why tegus have been able to move so far north is because they can sustain their body temperature during different seasons. This discovery was made by group of Brazilian and Canadian biologists at São Paulo State University in 2016, and scientists have since deemed the tegu the only warm-blooded lizard on earth. All other reptiles are strictly cold-blooded, meaning they can neither generate body heat nor sustain their metabolism without being in a warm environment. That's why when temperatures drop, alligators and snakes will either migrate to warmer places or hibernate to conserve energy. Your browser does not support iframes. A 115.2-pound female Burmese python is seen devouring a 77-pound white-tailed deer somewhere in Everglades National Park Contractors with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission show off a Burmese python caught Tuesday, August 13, 2024, in the Everglades Tegus don't have this same limitation, demonstrated by the fact that they can raise their body temperature up to 10 degrees Celsius above the ambient temperature during their mating season in the spring. The extreme threat to local wildlife posed by tegus comes at a time when Burmese pythons are also steamrolling Florida . Like tegus, Burmese pythons are an invasive species. Pythons, though, are on average 16 feet long and can devour foxes, bobcats, raccoons and other animals. A recent study by the Conservancy of Southwest Florida discovered that pythons can also whole deer and certain alligators. Both pythons and tegus are believed to have made landfall in the US through the exotic pet trade, with pythons being exported in the early 1980s. Tegus only started seriously proliferating in the wild about 15 years ago, so experts believe their introduction came later. Some measures have been taken by state authorities to limit the tegu populations, including banning residents from keeping them as pets. Florida and South Carolina outlawed the reptiles a pets in the spring of 2021, while Georgia banned any tegus not registered with the Department of Natural Resources before December 4, 2023. Those wetlands are just south of the Miami metro area (pictured) The creatures have also been sighted in the upscale city of West Palm Beach (pictured) Scientists can now track the movements of tegus and other animals through their environmental DNA deposits in water or soil samples This discovery will allow wildlife officials to better control the populations of invasive species like tegus and Burmese pythons All three states have grandfather clauses for current owners, and based on tegus' approximately 20-year life span, they're likely to be around in captivity for some time. But when it comes to controlling tegus who have either escaped captivity or were born in the wild, scientists now believe they have discovered a much more reliable way to track them. And it has to do with DNA. Environmental DNA (eDNA), which is constantly shed by all living organisms, can now be more precisely detected than ever before. New technology, known as a tetraplex digital PCR assay, was developed by researchers with the University of Florida, and it can successfully detect the eDNA of four different species in a single water or soil sample. University of Florida invasion ecology specialist Melissa Miller, the lead author of the study , told the South Florida Sun Sentinel that her team was able to see Burmese python DNA in a soil sample two weeks after the snake was removed from an outdoor enclosure. This breakthrough was developed in the hope that if the tech was successful, it could be used to effectively track all of the more the 500 non-native species in Florida, including tegus. Miller said eDNA tests will offer wildlife officials who engage in removal efforts of invasive species a cost-effective way to ensure that they are indeed gone, instead of having to periodically check large swathes of land for physical sightings.

Trump and Republicans in Congress eye an ambitious 100-day agenda, starting with tax cutsOne thing nearly all former presidents have in common is a love of sports. For Donald Trump, the game was golf. For Barack Obama, the sport was basketball. President George W. Bush owned Major League Baseball’s Texas Rangers. For Jimmy Carter, the sport was tennis. At the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park is a clay tennis court. The tennis court was installed during Carter’s childhood on the family farm. The farm and his childhood home later became the location for the park in Plains, Georgia. In his 1975 book “Why Not the Best?” Carter described how he would play against his father as a teenager. “My father ... was an excellent tennis player,” Carter wrote. “I could never beat my father. He had a wicked sliced ball which barely bounded at all on the relatively soft dirt court.” RELATED STORY | Former President Jimmy Carter dies at age 100 Carter was able to upgrade his court when he entered the White House in 1977. The complex had a court installed during President Theodore Roosevelt’s tenure. But during his time in the White House, the use of the tennis courts became political fodder. Staffer James Fallows wrote in The Atlantic that Carter would personally sign off on when the White House tennis court could be used, and by which staffers. “The in-house tennis enthusiasts, of whom I was perhaps the most shameless, dispatched brief notes through his secretary asking to use the court on Tuesday afternoons while he was at a congressional briefing, or a Saturday morning, while he was away,” Fallows wrote. “I always provided spaces where he could check Yes or No; Carter would make his decision and send the note back, initialed J.” Carter was asked by Bill Moyers about whether he personally signed off on the tennis court’s use. Carter told Moyers he delegated the task to a secretary. Carter’s love of tennis came home to Plains in 1977 during his first year in the White House. World Team Tennis staged a match in the small Georgia town, which was attended by Carter’s mother Lillian. The competition was between a team of Soviet Union stars against top Americans playing on the Phoenix Racquets.DEPAUL 98, NORTHERN ILLINOIS 52

Virginia played a recurring role in President Jimmy Carter's long life , from his Navy stint in Norfolk in the 1940s when the young ensign sought to save money for a Buick, to a 1976 presidential debate at the College of William & Mary, and a 2019 Loudoun County stop in which he questioned the legitimacy of President Donald Trump's election. Carter, who died Sunday at 100, came out of nowhere to win the presidency in 1976, largely on his strength in the South, but Virginia was the exception — the one Southern state he did not carry. Forty years later, Virginia again was an outlier as the only Southern state that Trump did not carry in 2016. Carter took part in Virginia's first foray in the modern era of televised presidential debates. On Oct. 22, 1976, he faced off with President Gerald Ford at William & Mary’s Phi Beta Kappa Hall . The debate, moderated by ABC’s Barbara Walters, came 10 days before the election and drew an estimated 62 million viewers. Virginia reacts to death of former President Carter In April 1979, Carter became the first president to address Virginia Democrats' Jefferson Jackson fundraiser, touting his energy plan during an appearance at the Hotel John Marshall in Richmond. The 39th president was a frequent speaker at Virginia colleges and universities after he left office in 1981. Carter, who taught at Emory University in Atlanta following his presidency, kicked off a 1987 talk with students at the University of Virginia by referring to Thomas Jefferson: "When he left the White House (he) had better judgment than to become a professor at a college." Carter spoke fondly of his family's roots in Virginia. One of his ancestors, Thomas Carter, came to Virginia from England in 1635. Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter — who died in November 2023 at 96 — married in July 1946. The Carters spent the first two years of their married life in Norfolk as Carter embarked on his Navy career, serving as an ensign on the USS Wyoming. Jimmy Carter and President Gerald Ford participate in a debate at the College of William & Mary in 1976. TIMES-DISPATCH During a campaign stop in Norfolk in September 1976, Carter said he and his wife moved to Norfolk four days after they were married in July 1946. Their first son, Jack — now 77 — was born at the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth in July 1947. In November 1976, weeks after Carter was elected president, Richmond Times-Dispatch reporter Wilford Kale interviewed three Norfolk residents who had known the Carters in the 1940s. The Carters lived in the Bolling Square Apartments on Buckingham Avenue and were saving their money to buy a Buick. Their one-bedroom apartment rented for about $100 a month. Kale noted that in Carter's book "Why Not the Best?" the future president wrote that when he served on the Wyoming, he was paid $300 per month. Beyond the rent, he paid $54 for his food aboard the ship and $75 for a war bond, leaving $71. Donald Cottingham served as a junior officer with Carter on the Wyoming, a former battleship that had been converted as an experimental vessel on which the Navy tested prototypes of electronics, gunnery and other equipment. Cottingham said the ship was known as the "Chesapeake Bay Raider" because it headed out into the bay on a Monday and would return on a Friday. Cottingham said he and his wife, Christine, socialized with the Carters and other young couples during those postwar days. Christine Cottingham showed the reporter a small green autograph book that she used as a guest book at parties. One of the pages was marked "Mrs. and Mr. J.E. Carter Jr. Plains Ga. 5-12-48." Christine Cottingham said the Carters were not along one night when the young couples went to a familiar haunt at the Officers' Club, which they dubbed the "Wyoming Room." "We were having a ball, but the Carters were not with us. So, we decided to send them a collect telegram, saying that we would all be over soon to have a drink with them," she recalled. "It was about midnight, and we were all happy and having a good time," she said. "Well, we really didn't get over there until later and when we arrived" around 2 a.m., "our telegram was plastered on the front door (of the apartment complex) and written on it was: 'Go home. You are not welcome!' " The Carters left Norfolk in 1948, when he was accepted for submarine duty. "We weren't thinking of Jimmy or anyone else becoming president," Donald Cottingham recalled. "As ensigns, what we were thinking about was becoming lieutenant." When Carter’s father, James Earl Carter Sr., died in 1953, he was released from the Navy and returned to Plains, Georgia, where he took over the family’s peanut farming business. Carter served on the local board of education, in the Georgia state Senate from 1963 to 1967 and as Georgia’s governor from 1971 to 1975. As he contemplated a bid for national office, Carter came to Virginia and campaigned for Henry Howell's bid for governor in November 1973. During his 1976 presidential run, Carter made multiple campaign stops in Virginia, including to Alexandria and to Roanoke. He also made news when his campaign sent a mistaken missive to Lt. Gov. John Dalton, a Republican, thanking him for his supposed endorsement. Dalton, a future Virginia governor, wrote back: "The letter was obviously misdirected, as is your position favoring repeal of Virginians' right-to-work law and your running on a platform that is liberal, anti-defense, pro-busing and expensive." One of the notable aspects of Carter's 1976 campaign was that he spoke openly about his "born again" Christianity. In a June 1976 Richmond Times-Dispatch story about Carter's faith, Dwight C. Jones, then pastor of First Baptist Church in South Richmond and a future state delegate and Richmond mayor, said: "I think it's going to have an effect on the religious community. It's been a long time since we've heard a political candidate come out with that kind of explicit religious tone." Jones said Carter "has hit a major chord by campaigning in Black churches." But Jones added that he hoped Black people would "require an affirmation" from Carter on his stands that affect them "before we would run en masse to him." William & Mary government professor John McGlennon said Carter's debate in Williamsburg "came at a critical time in the 1976 campaign" as he worked to contrast himself with President Richard Nixon and Vice President Gerald Ford. "Carter carried his own luggage into the Williamsburg Lodge, where he and his staff prepared for the debate. The campus and community were buzzing with excitement about the attention coming with the debate, even if the student body was distinctly Republican, overwhelmingly favoring President Gerald Ford in a campus survey," McGlennon said in a statement on Sunday. In the 1976 post-Watergate presidential election, Carter won nationally, but narrowly lost Virginia to Ford by about 23,000 votes out of 1.7 million cast. (No Democrat would carry Virginia for president until Barack Obama in 2008.) U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., worked with Carter as a young law school graduate. “Jimmy Carter gave me my first job out of law school, and I have deeply admired his service since leaving the Oval Office," Warner said in a statement on Sunday. "His dedication to building homes through Habitat for Humanity has always brought back warm memories of my father, who also volunteered with the organization well into his eighties. Like much of the Greatest Generation, President Carter will be remembered by what he built and left behind for us — a model of service late into life, a tireless devotion to family and philanthropy, and a more peaceful world to call home.” During his presidency, Carter made appearances in Virginia related to politics, policy and recreation. Democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter, campaigns ib Oct. 23, 1976, in the Old Town section of Alexandria. ASSOCIATED PRESS For example, in September 1977, he campaigned in Roanoke, Norfolk and Williamsburg with Howell, who was making his third and final unsuccessful bid for governor. In April 1979, Carter attended the Democratic fundraiser at the Hotel John Marshall. The former Navy man made multiple trips to Hampton Roads, including a Memorial Day trip to Norfolk in May 1980, where he spoke aboard the USS Nimitz and welcomed home the Indian Ocean Battle Group after a lengthy deployment. As for recreation, Carter went fishing off Virginia Beach twice as president and once at Camp Hoover, a camp in Shenandoah National Park. During his 1980 reelection bid, Carter was beset by troubles — from the Iranian hostage crisis, including a failed rescue mission — to rising inflation and a nomination challenge from Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass. That March, Rosalynn Carter addressed Virginia Democrats' annual fundraising dinner at the Hotel John Marshall. She shook hands with a Goochland County Democrat who wore a lapel button that read: "Still for Carter, Despite Everything." Then-state Sen. Doug Wilder, D-Richmond, endorsed Carter for reelection, though he said Carter’s domestic performance was "dismal." President Jimmy Carter and first lady Rosalynn Carter wave to reporters as they walk to a car that took them to visit Camp Hoover in the Virginia mountains on Oct. 25, 1978. The Carters flew by helicopter to the late President Herbert Hoover's fishing camp 100 miles west of Washington, D.C., to spend a short time there. Charles Tasnadi, Associated Press Late in the campaign, Carter made two trips to the Virginia suburbs. He signed a $48 billion education appropriations bill at the Loudoun County campus of Northern Virginia Community College . Then, he signed a $796 million mental health package at the Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute in Fairfax County. In the 1980 election, Republican Ronald Reagan swamped Carter in Virginia by more than 135,000 votes — nearly 13 percentage points — as part of his national landslide. Wilder, the nation’s first Black governor, met with Carter in Virginia while he was president and in Georgia after he left the White House. In a telephone interview on Sunday, Wilder credited Carter as "the first American president I knew of who spent significant time on the need to invest in Africa" and establish independent nations there. "I was always impressed with his straightforward acumen," he said. Similarly, Wilder commended Carter, "a man of the South," for his appointment of Black people as judges and other high-ranking positions, such as Andrew Young, a former civil rights activist and congressman, as American ambassador to the United Nations in 1977, the first African American elevated to the position. "You pick a Black man to bring nations together, a Black man of the South, that was bold," the former governor said. Wilder said he was always impressed with Carter's intelligence and professional accomplishments, which he often hid beneath his image as a humble peanut farmer. Wilder "I feel that history will accord and afford him his rightful place in the pantheon of great world leaders," he said. Following his presidency, Carter tapped Virginia scholar Steven H. Hochman , who had helped research Dumas Malone's multi-volume biography of Thomas Jefferson, to help research his presidential memoir. In 1984, Carter delivered a lecture at Roanoke College, where he said the U.S. should work to reduce nuclear arsenals and to safeguard human rights. In July 2015, Carter visited the Costco on West Broad Street in Henrico County to sign copies of his book "A Full Life: Reflections at 90." During that stop, he had a reunion with former shipmate John Kaufman, 92, of Earlysville, after 68 years. Carter was 94 and his vice president, Walter Mondale, 91, when they appeared together in Loudoun County in 2019 for a donor retreat and auction at the Lansdowne Resort and Spa. Carter caused a stir in the Loudoun County appearance, when he suggested that Trump was an illegitimate president. "There's no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election and I think the interference — although not yet quantified — if fully investigated would show that Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016," Carter told interviewer Jon Meacham at the time. "He lost the election, and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf." Trump, traveling in Japan, told reporters that Carter was a nice man, but "a terrible president." Trump posted on social media on Sunday: " The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans. For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude." President Jimmy Carter addresses the crew of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz off the Virginia coast on May 26, 1980, upon its return from nine months in the Persian Gulf. The president said, “Your presence has been the major factor in protecting the lives of the 53 hostages still held.” Bob Daugherty, Associated Press In a 2015 interview with The Times-Dispatch, ahead of his book signing at the Henrico Costco, Carter said he wished he had done a few things differently. "I'm sorry I didn't send another helicopter to rescue the hostages in Iran, and I'm sorry that I didn't get a second term," Carter said. But the nation’s 39th president said he had few regrets. "I've had some regrets," he said, "but most of the time I have been overwhelmingly grateful and gratified at the way things have worked out in my personal and political life."

Jones, Mellott help Montana State run over Montana 34-11Techwave’s new Hyderabad facility to create 1,200 jobsIfeoma Onumonu produced a moment that will live long in memories as Nigeria’s Super Falcons fell to a 2-1 defeat to France in a friendly match played at the Stade Raymond Kopa in Angers on Saturday night, Soccernet.ng reports . Ranked 10th on the FIFA women’s rankings, France’s Les Bleues were always going to be a difficult opponent on home soil against an understrength Super Falcons. The 2024 Nations League runners-up showed their might by scoring two quick-fire goals midway into the first half through Le Sommer and Amel Majri. Despite missing the talents of captain Rasheedat Ajibade and reigning African Footballer of the Year Asisat Oshoala, the Super Falcons were still a threat on the break. The nine-time African champions finally got their breakthrough moments before the referee blew for halftime courtesy of Onumonu. Nigeria countered after France failed to take advantage of the last corner-kick of the half, allowing Onumonu to race forward on a lung-bursting run from defence before smashing her finish past the goalkeeper. That goal was the first ever that Nigeria would score against France, sending Montpellier forward Onumonu into the record books. Both teams fought hard to add to the goals account in the second half but none could manage to get the better of the other as the Super Falcons matched the European giants on every part of the pitch. German referee Riem Hussein later stole the show in the closing stages by brandishing three yellow cards at Nigerian players, two of which were shown to veteran defender Osinachi Ohale. The resultant red card flashed at the 32-year-old centre-back was the first she will received in her 14 years of playing for Nigeria. In the end, the Super Falcons succumbed to a fourth straight loss to France but head coach Justin Madugu would be pleased with the determination and fight shown by the Falcons in Angers. Overall, in 2024, the Super Falcons played 10 games, won four, drew two and lost four matches. It’s a record the former African champion will be keen to improve on if they want to reclaim their WAFCON crown from South Africa next year.
