Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:16:56 GMT

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Justin Jefferson has resumed practicing with the Minnesota Vikings this week, a significant step toward his return to the field from a hamstring strain that caused the first absence of his stellar career.In some ways for the Vikings, it’s as if he never left.The 2022 AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year has been a constant and energetic presence on the sideline during games and in the building for meetings and walk-throughs throughout the week. The Vikings, coincidentally, have won all four games without him.“I’m just happy to be a part of this organization with so many people helping me out on and off the field,” Jefferson said. “I’m just happy that I can continue to be that leader on the team, where you can’t say that I’m just sitting at home and worrying about trying to get back. I want to be there supporting my teammates and be in there hands-on.”It’s not unusual for players on injured reserve with longer-term rehabs to largely disappear from...

Alaska judge upholds Biden administration’s approval of the massive Willow oil-drilling project

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:16:56 GMT

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday upheld the Biden administration’s approval of the Willow oil-drilling project on Alaska’s remote North Slope, a massive project that drew the ire of environmentalists who accused the president of backpedaling on his pledge to combat climate change.U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason rejected calls made by a grassroots Iñupiat group and environmentalists to vacate the approval and dismissed their claims.Those groups raised concerns about planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from Willow and argued that federal agencies failed to consider how increased emissions from the project could affect ice-reliant species such as the polar bear, Arctic ringed seals and bearded seals, which already are experiencing disruptions due to climate change.The decision can be appealed.The project, located in the federally designated National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, has widespread political support in the state.

Stock market today: Wall Street falls after the bond market cranks up the pressure again

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:16:56 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell Thursday to break one of Wall Street’s longest winning streaks in two decades after the pressure cranked higher from the bond market.The S&P 500 sank 35.43 points, or 0.8%, to 4,347.35. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 220.33, or 0.6%, to 33,891.94, and the Nasdaq composite lost 128.97, or 0.9%, to 13,521.45.Stocks had been higher earlier in the day, and the S&P 500 was on track for a ninth straight gain, which would have been its longest winning streak in 19 years. But the stock market quickly sagged under the weight of rising yields in the bond market. Treasury yields rose in the morning after a report suggested the U.S. job market remains remarkably solid. They climbed further when the U.S. government announced the results of a sale of $24 billion in Treasury bonds. And then they spurted higher after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the Fed “will not hesitate” to raise interest rates further if it feels high inflation is not ful...
