FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Ahmad Robinson scored 25 points as Mercer beat Jacksonville 90-89 in overtime on Monday. Robinson had three steals for the Bears (3-3). Tyler Johnson scored 18 points while shooting 7 for 13 (0 for 4 from 3-point range) and 4 of 5 from the free-throw line and added five rebounds. Alex Holt had 14 points and finished 7 of 10 from the floor. The Dolphins (3-3) were led by Robert McCray, who recorded 20 points, eight rebounds, five assists and two steals. Kendall Munson added 14 points, six rebounds and two steals for Jacksonville. Zach Bell also had 13 points and two steals. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by and data from .SMU has plenty to play for when it closes the regular season against California on Saturday afternoon in Dallas. The Mustangs (10-1, 7-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who checked in at No. 9 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday, would like to send their seniors off the right way. They would also like to complete a perfect regular season before appearing in the ACC title game in their first year in the conference. Most importantly, they want to continue to strengthen their playoff case. "You've got the College Football Playoff, so every game matters. That's what's so cool about it now. The regular season is important," SMU coach Rhett Lashlee said. "We'd like to finish well in everything we do, particularly on Saturday, to finish off the regular season, continue our momentum into the following week. Hopefully, continue to show the committee and others that we're worthy of continuing to play this year." The Mustangs are a worthy playoff team to date. Kevin Jennings has established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the country, throwing for 2,521 yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also has rushed for 315 yards and four TDs. Brashard Smith has been another standout, rushing for 1,089 yards and 13 TDs. Defensively, the Mustangs rank tied for 14th in the country with 20 takeaways. "Obviously they've had a phenomenal season," Cal coach Justin Wilcox said of SMU. "As soon as you turn the tape on, it doesn't take very long to see why their record is what it is. They're very, very good really in every phase of the game - extremely explosive and quick and fast. They've got a dominant D-line. We've got a lot of challenges in front of us and our guys are excited for that." Cal (6-5, 2-5) is coming off an emotional win, defeating rival Stanford 24-21 on Saturday to secure a bowl berth. The Golden Bears will appear in consecutive bowls for the first time since 2018-19 and are now looking to clinch their first winning season since 2019. SMU is not overlooking Cal, as all five of the Golden Bears' losses have come by one score. "You'd be hard-pressed to find a better 6-5 team in America," Lashlee said. "I think you can conservatively say they very, very easily could be 9-2." Cal is led by quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who has thrown for 3,004 yards with 16 touchdowns and six interceptions. Tight end Jack Endries leads the team with 555 yards receiving, while wide receiver Nyziah Hunter has caught a team-leading five touchdowns. Defensively, Cal has the ACC's top scoring defense (20.7 points per game) and is tied with Clemson for the ACC's best turnover margin (plus-13). Defensive back Nohl Williams is the star of the group -- he leads the country with seven interceptions. Even though oddsmakers are heavily favoring SMU, Cal is going into the game with a simple mindset. "Our task at hand is to make the best bowl game right now," Mendoza said. "And the way to do that is to go into Dallas, give it our best and ruin SMU's season." Saturday will mark the first conference meeting between these ACC newcomers, and just the second meeting between the programs all time. SMU won a 13-6 game back in 1957. --Field Level MediaHow co-writing a book threatened the Carters’ marriage

Every time they need help at a position, they've found someone sitting on the couch, seemingly waiting for their call. First it was wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who returned to the Chiefs just before the season after Marquise Brown was lost to shoulder surgery. Then it was running back Kareem Hunt, who likewise returned to his former team when Isiah Pacheco broke his fibula. Left tackle D.J. Humphries came next when other options at the position were struggling, and this week it was Steven Nelson, who came out of retirement to help a secondary that has struggled for weeks. "Just got an opportunity, got a call. Was very excited about it," said Nelson, who spent his first four seasons in Kansas City before stints in Pittsburgh and Houston, and ultimately calling it quits in June so he could spend more time with his family. "I've got two daughters and been spending a lot of time with him," Nelson said, "but still trying to work out. It was kind of the perfect scenario, getting the call, especially where this team has been and this point in the season. Great opportunity." It's been a perfect opportunity for all of them. Perfect fits for the Chiefs, too. Each could have signed just about anywhere else and been able to contribute, yet they were still sitting around when Chiefs general manager Brett Veach reached out. In the case of Smith-Schuster, Hunt and Humphries, there were some concerns about injuries that had kept some teams away, but the Chiefs were willing to take a risk on them. Smith-Schuster, who has dealt with knee trouble for years, missed some time with a hamstring injury this season. But he still has 202 yards and a touchdown receiving, and has provided some veteran leadership in the locker room. Hunt was coming off a sports hernia surgery, a big reason why the Browns — whom the Chiefs visit Sunday — declined to bring him back after five years spent in a one-two punch with Nick Chubb. But when Pacheco went down, Hunt stepped in and their offense barely missed a beat; he has run for a team-leading 608 yards and five touchdowns in 10 games. Humphries was still rehabbing a torn ACL at the start of the season, but the former Pro Bowl tackle was cleared just before the Chiefs called him. Kingsley Suamataia and Wanya Morris had struggled to protect Patrick Mahomes' blind side, so they brought in Humphries to help out. And while he hurt his hamstring late in his debut last week against the Chargers, the Chiefs still hope he'll be recovered and fully up to speed in time for the stretch run and the playoffs. "I'm in Kansas City, bro. I'm pretty ecstatic. It don't get much better than this," Humphries said. "Everybody is excited for me to be here and that's a really good feeling. You're getting All-Pro guys' arms outstretched, like, 'We're so glad you're here.'" The providential signings don't stop at those four players, either. When the Chiefs lost kicker Harrison Butker to knee surgery, they signed Spencer Shrader off the Jets practice squad, and he promptly kicked a game-winner against Carolina. But then Shrader hurt his hamstring and landed on injured reserve. The 49ers had just waived Matthew Wright, and the Chiefs signed him up. He's gone 8 for 9 on field-goal tries, has been perfect on PATs, and banged the game-winner off the upright and through last week against Los Angeles. Just like Smith-Schuster, Hunt and Nelson, Wright had been with Kansas City a couple of years ago. "It definitely helps, him knowing how we do things, how we practice and what we expect," Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub said. "That all helped, for sure. And he's a veteran. He's been a lot of places. It wasn't like he was a rookie off the street." Or off the couch, for that matter. NOTES: Butker planned to kick again Thursday and could come off IR to face the Browns on Sunday. "He looked good," Toub said. "We have to see how he responds." ... Humphries (hamstring) did not practice Thursday. RT Jawaan Taylor (knee) was limited. ... SS Justin Reid will likely handle kickoffs against Cleveland. He has a stronger leg than Wright and also puts another athletic and adept tackler on the field on special teams. Subscribe to stay connected to Tucson.

During a time when should be celebrating her big premiere for “Mufasa: The Lion King,” she’s unfortunately having to deal with online detractors who’ve taken issue with how she decided to show up for the momentous occasion. And it’s time we talk about it. As evidenced by countless tweets and comments, a handful of folks feel like and makeup were completely inappropriate—despite the fact that she was showing up to a major Hollywood event and is one of the most famous preteens in the world. Take for instance who posted a side-by-side photo of herself at that age in a school, retail photobooth-like picture and Blue Ivy at the premiere. “Me at 12 vs Blue Ivy at 12 Are you picking up what I’m putting down?” she wrote before following it up with another tweet showing more “age appropriate” dresses. “Honestly the way blue Ivy a 12 year old is over sexualized by her parents needs to be studied because she still a child and they’re dressing her like she’s 17-18 year old,” another user. “This is insane for obvious reasons but i also think we need to acknowledge that blue ivy is 12 and putting her in a dress like that is fucking weird sorry,” another. First things first, let’s all be transparent here: there’s a HUGE difference between dressing up for a Sears or JCPenney’s-esque photoshoot and dressing up for a major movie event. There’s an expectation to dress up for one whereas the dress code for the other is more inherently more relaxed. These are two incomparable situations. Secondly, how 12-year-olds dress and make up now are miles away from how they used to back in the day. As my colleague Senior Writer Angela Johnson can attest, the preteens of today are some of the main consumers in places like Sephora and Ulta, consistently buying the latest products and tools. And thanks to social media, the pressure to present yourself in a certain way and be up on the best of the best makeup and fashion goods is a big part of girlhood in a way that it didn’t used to be years ago. So when you add that along with the fact that Blue Ivy is a pretty tall celebrity pre-teen with way more access to all of that and more: wearing a sweetheart neckline ball gown, a little bit of colored lipgloss and some false lashes for a Hollywood event shouldn’t be that far-fetched. What’s more is that the unfair scrutiny being lobbed against Blue Ivy has been going on before she even took her first breath. Once the news broke that her mother Beyonce was pregnant with her, she faced concerns from “fans” who questioned if she would come out looking like her mother or her father Jay-Z. Fast forward to her toddler years, comments about Blue Ivy’s hair started to take over with many making derogatory remarks about how unkempt it appeared. Jump to 2023, many had negative words for her when it was revealed she was performing alongside her mother during the “Renaissance World Tour” with reactions ranging from claims of nepotism to her not being as good of a performer as her famous mother. It’s very obvious that Blue Ivy isn’t your average preteen due to the fact that she’s in the public eye way more than other kids her age, but that doesn’t mean she should be subjected to online discourse that’s aimed only at tearing down her self-esteem. We already know that young Black girls don’t get the luxury of being viewed as being young thanks to the history of oversexualization and adultification that tends to happen. But because we know that, shouldn’t we be more cognizant and deliberate about making sure other Black girls don’t have to go through that—no matter how famous they may be? This is a tired experience that too many Black women (including this author) have had to deal with and it’s beyond time we call out the perpetrators on their misogynistic BS. Blue Ivy and all other Black girls like her deserve better.Senate begins final push to expand Social Security benefits for millions of peopleNo. 9 SMU aims to improve playoff odds vs. Cal

Bulldogs recruit Marcelo Montoya has wiped away tears as he opened up on the birth of his daughters amid his Belmore return ahead of the 2025 season. Watch every ball of Australia v India LIVE & ad-break free during play in 4K on Kayo | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer > The 28-year-old signed a two-year deal, departing the Warriors after a four-year stint across the Tasman after he was deemed surplus to requirements. Montoya made his NRL debut at the Bulldogs in 2017, and this pre-season has been a special one after he revealed he had become a father to twin girls on Friday. Speaking to media on Monday, the gun winger become emotional when speaking about his wife and the sacrifices she had made to ensure he has been able to focus on football. “It’s been pretty public the Warrios couldn’t offer my an extension and my wife was heavily pregnant at that time,” Montoya said. “We had to make a decision that was best for my wife and our family. To come back to Sydney was important to us. “But to be able to the club where it all started for myself is pretty special and I’m just grateful that ‘Ciro’ (Ciraldo) and Gus (Gould) see potential in me. “My beautiful wife gave birth to twin girls on Friday, it’s pretty cool hey. It’s something that, I just get emotional about it. But my wife, she’s a beast bro. “She pushed them both out and to see that live it just changes your life, there’s more to life than footy. That’s what I realised, everything, my whole career has been about footy. “I’ve been so selfish but to see my girls come on Friday was cool.” Asked whether his love for his wife has grown since the birth of his children, Montoya said: “It just doubles, it just amplifies. She means a lot to me, but yeah, it’s just crazy... it’s cool.” In Montoya’s last season at the Bulldogs, he only played nine games with the Belmore-based club coming 15th with only three wins in a disappointing campaign. Rookie coach Cameron Ciraldo arrived at the club ahead of the 2023 season, but endured a tough debut season with his side having the worst defensive record in the comp. Fast forward twelve months and the Bulldogs broke an eight-year finals drought and were one of the teams considered a genuine premiership threat coming into post-season football. “Walking in here a lots changed for the better. So grateful for the opportunity to be back here at the Bulldogs and looking forward to what’s ahead,” Montoya said. “I just feel like the vibe when you walk in, when I first walked in a few weeks ago to meet Cameron and all the boys was pretty cool. “That energy you get off them, it’s all positive and we’re going somewhere here so it was pretty cool to walk in and feel that.” So now Montoya’s only focus is to do everything he can to help this side continue their form into the 2025 season. “This club means a lot to me, and to have my wife here and my girls now, and both our families it’s pretty cool,” he said.

No. 9 SMU aims to improve playoff odds vs. CalFormer President Bill Clinton said this weekend he had a feeling “all the so-called swing states would vote together” during this past election, and he wasn’t surprised that Donald Trump won his bid for the presidency. “At least this time, there is no question that he actually won both the popular vote and the Electoral College,” Clinton said , referring to Trump losing the popular vote in 2016 when he faced Clinton’s wife, Democrat Hillary Clinton. In 2024, Trump won all seven swing states: Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Nevada. In the interview with Jonathan Capehart that aired on MSNBC over the weekend, Clinton suggested “the late intervention” of FBI director James Comey’s investigation into his wife’s private email server she used while she was secretary of state helped Trump win. Hillary Clinton said last month in an interview that Vice President Kamala Harris had a better shot at the presidency than her because she didn’t have Comey “waiting in the wings to kneecap her.” That didn’t matter, however, for Harris, because she ultimately lost to Trump earlier this month. “There’s been a lot of change for people to digest,” Bill Clinton said, “a lot of economic adversity and upheaval, a lot of political upheaval, a lot of social developments. And if you think about it, some of the votes that happened in the last election are people who are just exhausted by uncertainty and tired of carrying it around. And that always helps the right.” Don't let this be the end of the free press. The free press is under attack — and America's future hangs in the balance.

Special counsel moves to abandon election interference and classified documents cases against TrumpCarragher was one of many who were mighty impressed with the full-backs performance against two of Real Madrid's galacticos. Jamie Carragher has heaped praise on Conor Bradley after the right-back’s outstanding display for Liverpool in Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Real Madrid. The 21-year-old marked his maiden Champions League start with a clean sheet and his first assist of the season. His ball to Alexis Mac Allister led to the Argentine’s opener on 52 minutes, nine minutes before Caoimhin Kelleher saved Kylian Mabppe’s penalty. Mohamed Salah then won and missed his own spot kick on 70 minutes. But Cody Gakpo’s second goal in as many Champions League games six minutes later secured Liverpool’s status as table-toppers. Bradley’s night would end three minutes from time due to injury. Having kept Mbappe quiet and got the better of Jude Bellingham throughout the match, Bradley was forced off before the end while feeling his hamstring. He was seen walking around the pitch after full-time, in what fans will hope is a sign his issue is not severe. He duly received praise from Carragher for his showing, with his sturdy display allowing Trent Alexander-Arnold a whole game’s rest with Joe Gomez replacing Bradley upon his injury. Taking to X, Carragher wrote: “What a performance @conorbradley03”, with fire and runing emojis attached. Liverpool will assess Bradley and his fitness ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Manchester City, when Alexander-Arnold is expected to return. He has not played for two-and-a-half weeks since picking up his hamstring problem in the 2-0 win over Aston Villa. The Reds, meanwhile, also have concern over Ibrahima Konate, who finished the game on the turf holding his leg. He managed to walk off the pitch but sported a limp on the way back to the dressing room.

PSG ‘dead’ without bigger stadium, warn Qatari owners PARIS: Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser al-Khelaifi said Thursday the club needs “to build a new stadium as quickly as possible” away from the Parc des Princes, which is owned by city authorities, if they want to compete against their European rivals. “I really like the Parc, everyone does. If I listen to my heart, we ́re not leaving. But everyone in Europe has stadiums with 80,000, 90,000 seats... We need it, otherwise we ́re dead,” the Qatari told French radio during the inauguration of the team ́s new training centre. PSG ́s owners have had several failed attempts to buy the iconic 48,000-capacity stadium, which was originally built in 1897 and redeveloped into its current form in 1972. “We are in France, but also in Europe. The city does not give us a choice,” insisted Al-Khelaifi. “I don ́t do politics. For us, we need a stadium ready in 3-4 years, we have no time to lose, otherwise we are behind other clubs in Europe.US politicians on both sides have reacted to news that former US President Jimmy Carter, who as president brokered peace between Israel and Egypt and later received the Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian work, has died at age 100. or signup to continue reading Here are some of the immediate comments. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN AND FIRST LADY JILL BIDEN "Today, America and the world lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian. Over six decades, we had the honour of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what's extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well." US PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP "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. Melania and I are thinking warmly of the Carter Family and their loved ones during this difficult time. We urge everyone to keep them in their hearts and prayers." FORMER US PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON AND FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON "From his commitment to civil rights as a state senator and governor of Georgia; to his efforts as President to protect our natural resources in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, make energy conservation a national priority, return the Panama Canal to Panama, and secure peace between Egypt and Israel at Camp David; to his post-Presidential efforts at the Carter Centre supporting honest elections, advancing peace, combating disease, and promoting democracy; to his and Rosalynn's devotion and hard work at Habitat for Humanity—he worked tirelessly for a better, fairer world." US SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL "Elaine and I join the Senate and the nation in mourning the passing of our 39th president, Jimmy Carter." "President Carter served during times of tension and uncertainty, both at home and abroad. But his calm spirit and deep faith seemed unshakeable. Jimmy Carter served as our commander-in-chief for four years, but he served as the beloved, unassuming Sunday school teacher at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia for forty. And his humble devotion leaves us little doubt which of those two important roles he prized the most." US HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON "Today, the thoughts of Americans and the prayers of Congress are lifted up on behalf of the Carter family. President Carter's story was one of humble beginnings, and his life is a testament to the boundless opportunities available in this great nation. Because of his work in brokering the Camp David Accords and his advocacy with Habitat for Humanity, the world is a more peaceful place, and more Americans have a place to call home. No one can deny that President Carter led an extraordinary life of service to his country. May he rest in peace." US REPRESENTATIVE MIKE TURNER "I am deeply saddened to learn about the death of President Jimmy Carter. President Carter was a man of integrity who was guided by his faith. I join all Americans in saluting President Carter for his lifetime of service, first as a naval officer, then as a senator in the Georgia State Senate, then as Governor of Georgia, and, finally, as President of the United States. I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the Carter family." US SENATOR MARK WARNER "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."

NonePop sensation Ed Sheeran has taken to social media to apologise after accidentally gatecrashing a live interview with new Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim.

Amorim was being interviewed on Sky Sports after United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich, who Sheeran owns a minority stake in. Sheeran interrupted the interview to speak with analyst Jamie Redknapp, who initially greeted the singer before quickly suggesting he could “come and say hello in a minute”. Sheeran, clearly oblivious to the fact Amorim was being interviewed on live TV, posted an apology on his Instagram story on Monday morning, writing he felt like “a bit of a bell***”. “Apologies if I offended Amorim yesterday, didn’t actually realise he was being interviewed at the time, was popping to say hi and bye to Jamie,” Sheeran wrote on his Instagram story. “Obv feel a bit of a bell*** but life goes on. Great game though, congrats on all involved x”. Sheeran is a lifelong Ipswich supporter and has been a shirt sponsor for both the men’s and women’s teams since 2021. The 33-year-old bought a 1.4 percent minority stake in the club in August following their promotion to the English top flight for the first time in 22 years. Singer-songwriter Sheeran, a four-time Grammy award winner, has also found a new role at Ipswich. The club’s chairman Mark Ashton previously revealed he was even instrumental in the recruitment of one player after joining a video call with the potential signing. “A local man, global superstar, sponsor of the football club, now a shareholder and now officially part of our recruitment team,” Ashton said at a Soccerex event on Thursday. “In the summer we were trying to persuade one particular player to join the football club and realised very quickly that he was an Ed Sheeran fan. “Ed jumped on a Zoom call with him at the training ground just before he stepped on stage with Taylor Swift, hopefully that was a key part of getting the player across the line. “We’ve gone from the third tier of English football to the Premier League, but we haven’t forgotten our roots and Ed’s a key part of that, the work that we do in our local communities is central to us.” Sheeran watched Ipswich’s first game of the season against Liverpool at Portman Road and was also at Tottenham when Kieran McKenna’s team secured their first Premier League win of the campaign in November. “I have lived in Suffolk since I was three years old and, while I travel the world and sometimes feel like an outsider in big cities, Suffolk and Ipswich have always made me feel part of the community and protected,” Sheeran said earlier this year. “It’s such a joy to be a fan of Ipswich Town. There are ups and downs but football is all about taking the highs and the lows.”

Nabers Stands Up For Himself After Play-Calling CommentsNone

DENVER (AP) — Amid renewed interest in the killing of JonBenet Ramsey triggered in part by a new Netflix documentary, police in Boulder, Colorado, refuted assertions this week that there is viable evidence and leads about the 1996 killing of the 6-year-old girl that they are not pursuing. JonBenet Ramsey, who competed in beauty pageants, was found dead in the basement of her family’s home in the college town of Boulder the day after Christmas in 1996. Her body was found several hours after her mother called 911 to say her daughter was missing and a ransom note had been left behind. The details of the crime and video footage of JonBenet competing in pageants propelled the case into one of the highest-profile mysteries in the United States. The police comments came as part of their annual update on the investigation, a month before the 28th anniversary of JonBenet’s killing. Police said they released it a little earlier due to the increased attention on the case, apparently referring to the three-part Netflix series “Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey.” In a video statement, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said the department welcomes news coverage and documentaries about the killing of JonBenet, who would have been 34 this year, as a way to generate possible new leads. He said the department is committed to solving the case but needs to be careful about what it shares about the investigation to protect a possible future prosecution. “What I can tell you though, is we have thoroughly investigated multiple people as suspects throughout the years and we continue to be open-minded about what occurred as we investigate the tips that come into detectives," he said. The Netflix documentary focuses on the mistakes made by police and the “media circus” surrounding the case. JonBenet was bludgeoned and strangled. Her death was ruled a homicide, but nobody was ever prosecuted. Police were widely criticized for mishandling the early investigation into her death amid speculation that her family was responsible. However, a prosecutor cleared her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, and brother Burke in 2008 based on new DNA evidence from JonBenet's clothing that pointed to the involvement of an “unexplained third party” in her slaying. The announcement by former district attorney Mary Lacy came two years after Patsy Ramsey died of cancer. Lacy called the Ramseys “victims of this crime.” John Ramsey has continued to speak out for the case to be solved. In 2022, he supported an online petition asking Colorado’s governor to intervene in the investigation by putting an outside agency in charge of DNA testing in the case. In the Netflix documentary, he said he has been advocating for several items that have not been prepared for DNA testing to be tested and for other items to be retested. He said the results should be put through a genealogy database. In recent years, investigators have identified suspects in unsolved cases by comparing DNA profiles from crime scenes and to DNA testing results shared online by people researching their family trees. In 2021, police said in their annual update that DNA hadn’t been ruled out to help solve the case, and in 2022 noted that some evidence could be “consumed” if DNA testing is done on it. Last year, police said they convened a panel of outside experts to review the investigation to give recommendations and determine if updated technologies or forensic testing might produce new leads. In the latest update, Redfearn said that review had ended but that police continue to work through and evaluate a “lengthy list of recommendations” from the panel. ____ Amy Beth Hanson contributed to this report from Helena, Montana.

NowThis made deep cuts to its staff for the second time this yearUnited Airlines travelers with lost luggage have a new tool to track their bags. If the lost bag has an Apple AirTag in it, that information can now be passed directly to United, the airline announced Thursday. The new feature, called Share Item Location, allows travelers with an AirTag or other Find My network accessory to share the location with the airline’s customer service team to help locate their luggage in the event it’s misplaced. The feature is now available with iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2 or macOS 15.2. “Apple’s new Share Item Location feature will help customers travel with even more confidence, knowing they have another way to access their bag’s precise location with AirTag or their Find My accessory of choice,” said David Kinzelman, United’s chief customer officer. Travelers on United whose bags do not arrive at their destination can file a delayed baggage report with United and share the link to the item’s location either through the United app or via text message. After the report has been submitted, customer service agents will be able to locate the item on an interactive map alongside a timestamp of a recent update. The shared location will be disabled after a customer has the bag, and customers can also stop sharing the location of the item at any time on their own. The location link will also automatically expire after seven days. Using AirTags or other tracking devices on luggage is increasingly popular among frequent travelers, with a significant boom following the , which displaced thousands of travelers over Christmas and into 2023, alongside much of their belongings. United says lost bags are rare, with more than 99% of its customers arriving with their bags. It says the new technology will help those with lost bags to recover them more quickly because the airline will have more information about them. Apple previously announced the new service will also be integrated at other air carriers, including Delta Air Lines. Others include Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Air New Zealand, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Iberia, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Swiss International Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and Vueling.DENVER (AP) — Amid renewed interest in the killing of JonBenet Ramsey triggered in part by a new Netflix documentary, police in Boulder, Colorado, refuted assertions this week that there is viable evidence and leads about the 1996 killing of the 6-year-old girl that they are not pursuing.
