'Mufasa' stars 'pinching themselves' to be in 'Lion King' prequel

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — It wasn’t how Duke drew up the final play, but it worked out perfect for the Blue Devils in Saturday’s 23-17 victory over Wake Forest. Maalik Murphy threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Moore as time expired, allowing Duke to end the regular season with three consecutive victories. Murphy said he realized he took too long to make a decision after the last snap. “I knew at that point I had to make a play,” he said. “The damage was already done, time was ticking.” With the score tied at 17, the Blue Devils (9-3, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) moved 76 yards in 1:22 after forcing a Wake Forest punt. It appeared that Duke might run out of time in the slow-developing play, but Moore improvised and broke free along the right side, caught the ball at the 10-yard line and spun into the end zone to complete a comeback from 14 points down in the second half. “The play that Maalik and Jordan put together was magical,” Duke coach Manny Diaz said. “Nobody thought a 5-yard route would turn into a (long) touchdown.” So instead of a long field-goal attempt, Duke had something better. “I just decided to take it down the field,” Moore said. “I think that’s a testament to our chemistry. ... Maalik had the confidence in himself to make that kind of play.” It resulted in Duke’s sixth victory by seven points or less. “It’s like a perfect exclamation point to our season,” Diaz said. “An unbelievable way to finish our season.” Murphy racked up with 235 yards on 26-for-34 passing. Moore, who was down with an injury after a reception earlier in the second half, made five catches for 98 yards. Hank Bachmeier threw for 207 yards and a touchdown as Wake Forest (4-8, 2-6) ended its second straight four-win season with a four-game losing streak. “A heartbreaking loss,” Demon Deacons coach Dave Clawson said. “It’s a tough way to lose a game and a tough way to end the season.” Tate Carey’s 8-yard run, Matthew Dennis’ 37-yard field goal and Horatio Fields’ 9-yard reception across 11 minutes of game time gave Wake Forest a 17-3 lead with nine minutes left in the third quarter. Duke took advantage of a short field following a punt, moving 42 yards in four plays to score on Star Thomas’ 3-yard run. The Blue Devils recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and converted on Murphy’s 2-yard run with 12:57 left to pull even. “What has been proven is that we’re mentally tough,” Diaz said. “We’re not going to do everything perfect.” Taylor Morin became Wake Forest’s all-time leader in receiving yards with 2,974. He picked up 47 yards on eight catches on Saturday. Morin, in his fifth season, passed former NFL player Ricky Proehl, who had 2,929 yards in the late 1980s. Duke: The Blue Devils have secured at least a nine-win season for the second time in three seasons, this one coming in Diaz’s first season. They racked up a 4-0 record against in-state opponents, including comebacks to top North Carolina and Wake Forest. “Every quest that we have for championships starts in our own state,” Diaz said. Wake Forest: The Demon Deacons punted on their final three possessions of the season. They finished with a 1-6 record in home games. “It’s been a tough year, a long year, and I’m proud of our team and how hard they fought,” Clawson said.

AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-footballBotswana has issued 400 elephant hunting licenses amid fresh opposition from conservationists. International hunters pay up to $50,000 to obtain a license in order to hunt an elephant. In a recent notice from the Wildlife and National Parks department, the elephants are among other wildlife species that will be offered to hunters. Botswana’s hunting season runs from April to November, attracting enthusiasts from abroad. However, a group of local and international conservationists has petitioned Botswana’s new government, which came into power after the Oct. 30 general election, to stop the practice of trophy hunting. Oaitse Nawa of the nonprofit Elephant Protection Society is part of those petitioning the government against hunting the big game. He said the organization is surprised the government has released the hunting quota for the new season. “We did a petition — the idea was to ask the government to take time, to stop the elephant quota in the meantime because there was not enough consultation regarding all the stakeholders,” Nawa said. “For this quota to come out, it was a big surprise to us.” The government held a consultative meeting at the beginning of December to decide on the number of animals to put up for the shoot. Nawa said the group wants the new government to intervene and stop the hunts. “It is a very big concern looking at the fact that hunting does not benefit the community,” he said. “Anything that has to do with hunting has to be reviewed. Remember, we are still dealing with the old regime and we are not surprised to see them come up with these numbers.” The government said nearly $3 million was raised by communities in the previous hunting season, mainly from the sale of elephant licenses. Conservationists opposed to the hunts argue the targeting of male elephants disturbs the animals’ breeding patterns. The chief executive of the Botswana Wildlife Producers Association, Isaac Theophilus, backs hunting. “The petition to government is unfortunate and misguided,” he said. “Trophy hunting does not target prime breeding bulls. It is highly selective. It targets animals that are past their breeding prime. So it [hunting] will nowhere affect the breeding patterns.” Wildlife management expert biologist Dr. Erik Verreynne said hunting will not disturb elephant populations in Botswana. “It is possible that hunting activity in an area can affect the movements of a breeding herd,” he said, “but if we see it within the larger context of 400 bulls being hunted in a population of 130,000 to 140,000 elephants in Botswana, then it’s highly unlikely that we are going to see an impact on the breeding rate or population growth of elephants.” Botswana has the world’s largest elephant herd at more than 130,000. The country resumed trophy hunting activities in 2019 following a five-year moratorium. Botswana also has one of the world’s highest incidences of human-wildlife conflict, with the animals moving closer to human settlements in search of water and forage.

A New Brunswick doctor who admitted to touching a woman's buttocks, pelvis and breasts without her consent while out socializing in 2022 has been given a conditional discharge and sentenced to a year of supervised probation. Rémi Poitras, 30, of Edmundston, who specializes in family medicine and emergency medicine and now lives in Quebec, pleaded guilty in October to common assault . He was originally charged with sexual assault. The victim, who was a fourth-year student at the New Brunswick medical training centre in Moncton at the time, said she continues to be "deeply affected" and is disappointed Poitras pleaded guilty to the reduced charge. "By reporting the assault, I hoped to obtain some justice — not only for myself, but for the person that I could have been if all of this had not occurred, for the dreams that were delayed and broken, the missed opportunities, the difficult relationships and the destroyed confidence," she told the Moncton courtroom in French during a sentencing hearing Wednesday. But Rosalie Genest, now 28 and a resident physician in pediatrics in Quebec City, is still glad she came forward, and requested the court-imposed publication ban on her identity be lifted. "Throughout my healing process, I realized that it's not up to me to be ashamed of that," she explained in an interview with Radio-Canada after after the hearing, during which provincial court Judge Luc Labonté agreed to lift the ban. Judge accepts joint recommendation According to an agreed statement of facts, Genest was at the Tide & Boar bar on Main Street in Moncton on Oct. 29, 2022, when Poitras grabbed her buttocks. He then placed his hands on her hips and pelvis. Genest left the bar and got into a car driven by Poitras's female roommate to go home. Poitras joined them in the vehicle and Genest pretended to be asleep. That's when Poitras touched her breasts. On Wednesday, the judge accepted a joint sentencing recommendation from the Crown and defence. One act when you're drunk ... should not define you for the rest of your life. - Judge Luc Labonté "You're an important member of society that people look up to, so it's important that your actions always are appropriate," Labonté told Poitras. "Having said that, one act when you're drunk ... should not define you for the rest of your life either. And I understand that," he said, adding he believes Poitras is "truly remorseful." The conditional discharge means the offence will be removed from Poitras's criminal record in a year, unless he violates his probation. The conditions include not having any contact with the victim and following any treatment recommended by his probation officer. "I don't think the public at large will be shocked that you receive a discharge given the fact situation here," the judge said Victim still haunted by flashbacks Earlier in the hearing, Genest told the court via video conference how the offence has affected her mental health and her career. She considered her attacker to be someone she could trust — a colleague of her then-fiancé, a teacher at the medical training centre where she was studying for exams and even her doctor during an emergency consultation in 2021, she said. Following the incident, Genest said, she no longer felt safe. She was "terrorized by the idea of being alone," she said reading from a victim impact statement, which an interpreter then relayed to the court in English. The sentencing hearing was held at the Moncton courthouse Wednesday. (Kate Letterick/CBC News) Two years later, flashbacks still haunt her several times a day, she said. "These vivid remembrances still cause me the same panic, the same distress and the same helplessness that I felt during the crime." Stress and fear forced her to study only part time, she said. She couldn't work and even began to question her dream of becoming a doctor. Her monthly debts remind her just how much this assault has cost her, she said. Her life was once confident and "full of promise and possibilities." Today, she feels "broken and unrecognizable." Poitras describes 'mutual dance' Poitras's defence lawyer Carolyne Albert urged the judge to reject the victim's entire statement. Labonté opted instead to not take into consideration certain information that was not part of the agreed statement of facts. Meanwhile, Poitras told the court his version of the events that night, starting with what happened at the bar. "While dancing together, I touched her hips with my hands. And she touched me in return with her hands," he said. "We had both [been drinking] alcohol. There was no sexual intention. "There was never a moment where Ms. Genest used verbal language nor body language to indicate that she didn't want to dance together." Poitras, pictured outside the Moncton courthouse on Nov. 27, said he was surprised and scared to face a 'life-altering charge' for what he felt was a 'mutual dance.' (Pascal Raiche-Nogue/Radio-Canada) During the car ride, Genest rested her head on his chest and he placed his arm around her, he said, adding she interacted with the two other people in the vehicle for the entire trip. This contradicts the agreed statement of facts, when Poitras admitted to grabbing the victim's buttocks at the Tide & Boar and touching her breasts in the vehicle. "To say I was surprised to hear that I was being accused of an assault after this night would be an understatement. ... Facing a life-altering charge for what I felt like a mutual dance scared me," he said. "I feel deeply sorry that Ms. Genest feels I touched her without her consent. This would never be my intention." Poitras and his lawyer both declined to comment at the end of the hearing. College imposes conditions on medical licence When he pleaded guilty on Oct. 9, Poitras had no conditions on his medical licence. Restrictions have since been added, according to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick's website. He is prohibited from engaging with any medical students or postgraduate trainees. In addition, all interactions with female patients are to be conducted in the presence of a chaperone, it says. Dr. Laurie Potter, registrar of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick, confirmed the conditions on Poitras's licence but declined to discuss them, citing privacy. (College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick) Poitras's New Brunswick licence expires at the end of the month, according to the website. The Collège des médecins du Québec's website had no information about restrictions or disciplinary action.Senator Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar representing Zamfara West Senatorial District (Marafan Sokoto), has expressed his continued determination to provide sources of livelihood to his constituents with a view to reducing idleness, especially amongst the teeming youth. In a statement issued by the Chairman A.A. Yari Publicity Committee, Ibrahim Muhammad Birnin Magaji made it available to newsmen in Gusau Zamfara State capital, said, this will go a long way in preventing them from going into various and unwanted social vices that serve as fertile ground which compound the security situation in the society. The Marafan Sokoto was speaking at the Passing Out Parade of the 87 Intake at the Nigerian Army Depot, Zaria, Kaduna State on Saturday. Represented by the Co-ordinator, Zamfara West Senatorial District Zonal Office, Talata Mafara, Alhaji Sha’ayau Yusuf, reminded the graduating Soldiers of the herculean task awaiting them in the field taking into account the security challenges bedevilling the Country. Senator Yari explained that idleness amongst the youth has been his source of worry and that’s what prompted him to provide grounds that would eventually bail them out of it at whatever cost. Yari admonished the 74 Recruits of Zamfara West Senatorial District extraction to regard their enlistment into the Nigerian Army as a call to national duty, adding that they should endeavour to exhibit a high sense of patriotism and bravery throughout their assignments. It could be recalled that the Senator had through his Zonal Constituency Office facilitated the recruitment of 84 youth who hailed from his senatorial district comprising Talata Mafara, Bakura, Bukkuyum, Anka, Gummi and Maradun local government areas passed out under the 86 Intake of the Nigerian Army Depot, Zaria, Kaduna State.

Pat Pattison’s Best of California Debuts on RVTV National NetworkATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey gambling regulators have handed out $40,000 in fines to two sportsbooks and a tech company for violations that included taking bets on unauthorized events, and on games that had already ended. In information made public Monday, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement fined DraftKings $20,000. It also levied $10,000 fines on Rush Street Interactive NJ and the sports betting technology company Kambi. According to documents released by the state, Rush Street accepted 16 bets worth $1,523 in Nov. 2021 on a college basketball game between the University of North Carolina-Asheville and Tennessee Tech University after the game had already concluded with a UNC victory. Kambi told the enforcement division that a trader had failed to manually remove that game from its betting markets, saying it had stopped receiving messages from its own sports data provider due to a network connectivity error. Kambi said it has updated its guidelines and retrained its traders to prevent a recurrence. Kambi, which is based in Malta, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment Monday. Rush Street declined comment, and DraftKings had no immediate comment Monday. DraftKings stopped using Kambi in 2021. In March 2022 Rush Street took seven bets totaling just under $2,900 on three Magic City Jai Alai games after the results were already known. Kambi told the division it experienced a connectivity issue that allowed the bets to be accepted after the games were over. An explanation of what Kambi did to address the situation was blacked out in documents released by the division. A month earlier Rush Street took 13 wagers worth $8,150 with pre-match odds on a Professional Golf Association match after the event had already begun. In this case, Kambi told the division a newly hired trader failed to enter the correct closing time time for bets on the event. The trader and a supervisor underwent retraining. DraftKings was fined for taking bets on unapproved events including Russian basketball for nine months in 2020 and 2021. It eventually voided over $61,000 in bets and returned the money to customers after being directed to do so by the state. In this case, Kambi told the division it misidentified this particular Russian basketball league as one that was approved for wagering in New Jersey. DraftKings told the state it did not catch the error, either. In 2020, DraftKings accepted 484 wagers on unapproved table tennis matches. Kambi incorrectly enabled the events for wagering without conditions required by the state, the division said. In Feb. 2022, the division said DraftKings took pre-season NFL bets involving specific players but did not give the state specific information on what information was to be included in the bets, drawing 182 wagers worth nearly $7,000 that were later voided and refunded to customers. ___ Follow Wayne Parry on X at

Every month, Saint Luke the Evangelist hosts a sensory-friendly Mass for those who may find it challenging to attend a typical Sunday Liturgy. This Mass is intentionally designed to lessen environmental stimulus to provide a prayerful, welcoming and non-judgmental worship experience for everyone in the parish. Families with small children, individuals with Autism, asthma, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, Down’s Syndrome, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and adults with dementia and Alzheimer’s can worship in an environment that respects their individuality and lovingly incorporates them as accepted and celebrated members of the parish community. While it is geared toward people with sensory issues, all people are welcome to attend this Mass. St. Matthews AME Zion Church Corner of Walnut and Thorn streets, Sewickley. 412-742-4239.
