NEW DELHI – Former Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh passed away at the age of 92 on Thursday. According to Indian media reports, Manmohan Singh was rushed to a hospital in Delhi in a semi-conscious state due to deteriorating health, where doctors attempted treatment. However, he passed away during the process. Manmohan Singh served as India’s prime minister for two consecutive terms from 2004 to 2014. The former prime minister also held the position of Finance Minister and had a PhD in Economics before transitioning into politics. Previously, he served as the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India. Since 2005, Singh had expressed a desire for Siachen to be recognised globally as a “Mountain of Peace.”Noodles and wine are the secret ingredients for a strange new twist in China's doping saga

Phil Williams: In reporting on hate and extremism, 'while the attacks are personal, so is the cause'The New England Patriots entered Sunday’s matchup with the Miami Dolphins feeling like they were a team ready to turn a corner after a season’s worth of struggles. A revealed just how much more work is left to do before they can make that pronouncement. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye struggled to make sense of things afterward but did make his own proclamation to his teammates. “I told some guys, just remember this feeling of really getting our butts whooped today, and it’s only up from here,” Maye said. There was plenty of bad football for the Patriots (3-9) to dwell on after losing for the third time in four games. It starts with self-inflicted mistakes, most notably committing 10 penalties for 75 yards, that left the team playing catch-up throughout the game. Maye completed 22 of 37 passes for 221 yards with 26 yards rushing but had a costly strip sack in the third quarter that led to a Miami score. It was his seventh turnover in three games. There also are big issues to work out for a Patriots defense that allowed Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to complete 29 of 40 passes for 317 yards and four touchdowns. New England coach Jerod Mayo said his team entered this week prepared for some tough film sessions with only Sunday’s matchup against Indianapolis left before its bye week. “Those are those hard meetings where you have to address the elephant in the room, but it’s no secret,” he said. “The good thing about the sport, it’s all recorded. You can go back and forth on it, but the film doesn’t lie.” What’s working It seems insignificant right now, but it was encouraging to see Maye end the game on some positive notes after Miami took a 31-0 lead. On the Patriots’ next possession, Maye connected on deep passes to Demario Douglas and Hunter Henry before capping the drive with a 38-yard TD pass to Austin Hooper. What needs help Offensive line. This week brought regression for a group that had found some consistency after starting Ben Brown (center), Vederian Lowe (left tackle), Michael Jordan (left guard), Mike Onwenu (right guard) and Demontrey Jacobs (right tackle) in consecutive games. It evaporated against a Dolphins defense that sacked Maye four times. For the day, New England’s O-line was whistled for seven of the team’s 10 penalties. Stock up DE Christian Barmore. In his second game of the season, he notched his first sack, dropping Tagovailoa for a 2-yard loss in the third quarter. It’s a big milestone for Barmore, who was diagnosed with blood clots shortly after the start of training camp. Stock down Lowe. He was whistled for four penalties in the first half on Sunday: three false starts and a hold. He also allowed Zach Sieler to beat him for a strip-sack on Maye late in the third quarter that set up the Dolphins’ final touchdown of the day. Injuries The Patriots didn’t announce any injuries on Sunday. However, Lowe did seem to be bothered by a shoulder injury that limited his practice availability leading up to the game. Key number 7 — The number of Dolphins’ offensive plays that went for 15 or more yards against the Patriots. Next steps The Patriots host the Colts on Sunday. ___ AP NFL coverage:

Luigi Mangione, accused in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, appeared in court Monday wearing an outfit that matched his attorney’s. Mangione, 26, donned a maroon sweater over a light shirt and chinos. His attorney, Karen Agnifilo, wore the same outfit, resulting in an unforeseen scene during the high-profile arraignment. Mangione entered a not guilty plea to all 11 counts, which include first-degree murder in support of terrorism. Addressing the courtroom microphone, he confidently proclaimed, "Not guilty." The hearing, overseen by Judge Gregory Carro, occurred at the New York State Criminal Courthouse in downtown Manhattan. The allegations arise from the shooting of Thompson on December 4 outside a hotel in Midtown Manhattan. The event took place at an investor conference organized by UnitedHealth Group. Prosecutors claim the murder was planned in advance and linked to terrorism. If found guilty, Mangione could be sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole. High Security at CourtroomMangione was accompanied to the courtroom on the 13th floor by several officers. Courtroom security was noticeably increased, with six officers following the defendant. Mangione remained expressionless next to Agnifilo, who has openly denounced his treatment as politically motivated. Prosecutor Joel Sideman highlighted that the Manhattan District Attorney’s office has primary authority over the case. He mentioned that the case would advance in state court prior to any federal charges. Mangione is anticipated to be returned to federal detention after the state proceedings. Case Grips Public AttentionThe audacious murder and the ensuing five-day chase captured the public's fascination. Thompson, an influential person in the healthcare sector, was shot due to rising frustrations surrounding healthcare expenses and insurance plans. Certain critics of the industry have provocatively referred to Mangione as a "folk hero." Public officials, nonetheless, unanimously denounced the murder. Authorities have not yet revealed a reason for the assault. Unprecedented Legal and Media FocusThe coordinated outfits of Mangione and his lawyer attracted considerable notice. Legal specialists observed the rare coincidence, yet neither side mentioned it throughout the proceedings. Agnifilo has earlier stated that her client is being exploited as “political ammunition” by city leaders, such as the mayor of New York City. The subsequent hearing date has not been scheduled yet. Mangione stays in detention while prosecutors build their case.

Storrs, Conn. — With an easy 85-41 victory over Farleigh Dickinson last Wednesday, Geno Auriemma became the winningest coach in his sport, as defined by the greatest number of career victories. The win was No. 1,217, passing Tara VanDerveer, who retired after last season at Stanford. Both have passed Mike Krzyzewski, who won the most games in men’s college basketball, 1,202. There are other factors to being the “winningest” coach, such as winning percentage, championships won, record in what would be considered the most important games, such as postseason games. Comparing one sport to another, to be sure, is a study in apples vs. oranges, but when such a coaching record falls, whether or not it is a counting stat, it speaks to consistency and longevity, and the nature of coaching, by which we mean job security, is such that longevity cannot be achieved without sustained excellence. Auriemma, 70, checks every box. In addition to the highest number of wins in what he helped to make a high-profile sport, he also has the most championships, 11, and a remarkable winning percentage of 88.2% across 40 years. He has 137 more wins, with 24 losses and an .852 percentage, in NCAA Tournament games and a 23-4 record in No.1-vs.-No.2 matchups; most coaches would sign for that record against unranked opponents. So by every measure he is the most successful coach in women’s basketball and a transformational figure in its history. And as he continues to add to his win total at a torrid pace, it’s less and less likely anyone will come close for generations to come. In most other sports, the ‘winningest coach’ title requires some explanation, as we set out to do here with a look at the career victory leaders in various sports and who is chasing them. Winningest: Don Shula, 347 As Shula, who coached the Colts from 1963-69 and Dolphins from 1970-95, approached George Halas’ mark, the NFL decided that regular season and playoff games would both count toward the official record. Shula is best known for coaching the undefeated 1972 Dolphins, and after repeating as champs, he won enough to remain in the job as long as he wanted it. Bill Belichick, who won six Super Bowls with the Patriots, was hot on the trail and left New England after last season with 333 victories. It’s widely assumed he will coach again and chase the record, though he is 72. He would have to land in the right situation and, history tells us, have a great quarterback. The Chiefs’ Andy Reid, 66, has a way to go with 293 wins. Winningest: Connie Mack, 3,731. This calls for an asterisk, maybe several. Mack managed Pittsburgh from 1894-96, then bought into the Philadelphia Athletics of the new American League and managed from 1901-50. As an owner and, essentially, GM, he was not about to fire himself. He went to the World Series nine times, and won five, but had long strings of dreary seasons and, in fact, also lost more games, 3,948, than anyone else. Because he managed in civilian clothes, he was actually not allowed to step onto the field and, as he “managed” until the age of 87, his sons or other coaches did most of the actual managing over his last 10 years or so. No other coach or manager in any sport was so entrenched, not even far more successful managers. Second on the wins list is Tony La Russa, who won 2,884, but had a .536 winning percentage. It’s unfathomable that Mack’s total will ever be approached. The winningest active manager is Bruce Bochy, now with Texas, with 2,171 wins and four championships, and he is 69. Winningest: Gregg Popovich, 1,394 Popovich, 75, is still active, though currently out recovering from a stroke. He passed Don Nelson (1,335) in March 2022. Popovich, who has coached the San Antonio Spurs since 1994, has won five championships and has won 62.8% of his games, but hasn’t had a winning season since 2018-19. Doc Rivers, 63, is the next winningest coach still active in the league with 1,119. He won a title with the Celtics in 2008 and is now with the Bucks. Winningest: Mike Thibault, 379 Former CT Sun and Mystics coach Mike Thibault has the most victories, 379, amassed between 2003-22, winning 56.7% of his games, and also got his teams to the playoffs 16 times, including a championship run in 2019. However, Cheryl Reeve, 58, who has coached the Lynx since 2010 and has won four titles, is poised to pass Thibeault. With plenty of help from UConn’s Maya Moore and Napheesa Collier, Reeve has 330 victories, a .647 percentage. Winningest: Scotty Bowman, 1,244 Among pro coaches, Bowman may come the closest to Auriemma’s across-the-board dominance. He won the most regular-season games and also the most playoff games (223). He won nine Stanley Cup championships, five with Montreal, one with Pittsburgh and three with Detroit, so his success cannot be pegged to one franchise, one player or core of players. In 28 playoff appearances, he had a .632 winning percentage. Former Whaler Joel Quenneville, 66, has 969 wins. He has been out of hockey since a sexual assault scandal involving one of his staffers came to light, but teams have the green light to hire him again. Barry Trotz (914), now in the front office in Nashville, and Paul Maurice (881), the last Whalers coach who won the Cup with Florida last season, are in the distance. Maurice is only 57. Winningest: Mike Krzyzewski, 1,202 Coach K, who started at Army, then moved to Duke, 1980-2022, where he won five NCAA championships. He won 100 more games, against 30 losses, in the NCAA Tournament. He retired with a .766 winning percentage. Herb Magee, “The Shot Doctor,” who coached Philadelphia Textile (now Thomas Jefferson) from 1967-2022, won 1,144. Among active coaches, Dave Holmquist, 73, who has been at Division II Biola since 1978, has 1,056 wins, most at the NAIA level, and a .704 percentage. Jim Boeheim had 1,015 wins at Syracuse. Jim Calhoun had 920 wins at Northeastern, UConn and Saint Joe’s, with three championships and .699 winning percentage. Among active Division I coaches, Arkansas’ John Calipari (856, including wins ruled vacated due to NCAA infractions), Kansas’ Bill Self has 828, including vacated wins, Rick Barnes has 809, so Krzyzewski’s mark looks safe for a while. Winningest: Geno Auriemma, 1,217 It looked as if Auriemma and VanDerveer would duel for the title for years, but VanDerveer, 71, called it a career. Pat Summitt won 1,098. Among other active coaches, N.C. State’s Wes Moore has 833, including 69 early in his career in D-II. Winningest: Joe Paterno, 409 Though John Gagliardi, who coached in NAIA and at Saint John’s in Minnesota, a D-III program, won 489 games, Paterno (409-136-3, two national championships) is the standard for major Division I football for his years at Penn State, 1966-2011. However, how much of the head coaching duties he performed as he coached well into his 80s would be a question. He retired in the midst of the child sex abuse scandal involving long-time assistant Jerry Sandusky, a shadow cast over his legacy. Paterno got one more win than longtime Grambling coach Eddie Robinson, 32 more than Florida State’s Bobby Bowden. Among active coaches at FBS programs, Mack Brown, 73, now at North Carolina leads with 288. Paul Assaiante, who retired in 2023, coached men’s squash at Williams, Army and, for 30 years, at Trinity, finishing with 17 national titles and a 507-29 record, winning 252 matches in a row at one point, longest winning streak in college sports history. ... In college women’s soccer, North Carolina’s Anson Dorrance, who retired last August, left behind 809 wins, an .887 winning percentage and 21 NCAA championships (of 41 Tournaments staged since 1982). ... In college men’s hockey, Boston College’s Jerry York retired with 1,123 wins and five NCAA championships. ... In men’s soccer, Jay Martin, who has been at Ohio Wesleyan since 1978, leads with 738. ... In college baseball, Florida State’s Mike Martin won a record 2,029 games, with 736 losses with 18 trips to the College World Series, though no championships, between 1980-2019.

Dick's Sporting Goods shares rise on analyst optimism ahead of resultsCeltics center Kristaps Porzingis slated to make season debut on Monday night vs LA Clippers BOSTON (AP) — Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is slated make his season debut Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers following offseason ankle surgery. Kyle Hightower, The Associated Press Nov 25, 2024 3:44 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message Injured Boston Celtics' center Kristaps Porzingis claps for his teammates in the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Brooklyn Nets, Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024, in New York. (AP Photo/Heather Khalifa) BOSTON (AP) — Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is slated make his season debut Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers following offseason ankle surgery. The 7-foot-2 Latvian center was upgraded from probable to available about an 90 minutes before tipoff, though Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said how much he'd play was to be determined. Veteran center Al Horford, who has started 14 of the Celtics 17 games this season, is out Monday with an illness. Fellow big man Luke Kornet is also sitting out as he continues to deal with hamstring tightness. “He has worked hard, he's in good shape. We'll put him in position to be healthy and be successful and do what's best for the team,” Mazzulla said. “He's been pretty consistent, just based on his work ethic and what he's done to get to this point.” Porzingis had surgery to fix a tear in the tissue that holds the ankle tendons in place. The issue limited him to seven playoff games during the Celtics' NBA championship run last season. Boston is 14-3 this season, but has missed his presence on the inside, with teams routinely outscoring the defending champions in the paint. Mazzulla acknowledged that how Porzingis plays on the offensive end, particularly how he operates sometimes out of the high and low post, will force some adjustment from how the team has played this season without him on the floor. “I think last year we had an opportunity to see how teams were guarding him,” Mazzulla said. "That'll take a little bit of time to figure out what the coverages are, just get used to that spacing. That'll take some time. ... Then we'll figure out how we go from there." The original window for Porzingis' return following surgery was five to six months. But Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said before the season that they didn't want to hold to a specific timeline because of the uniqueness of the injury. Porzingis injured his ankle in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks and missed the next two games. He returned for Game 5, contributing five points and one rebound in 16 minutes as the Celtics beat Dallas 106-88 to clinch their record 18th title. Porzingis averaged 20 points and seven rebounds in 57 games for last season. He signed a $60 million, two-year extension with Boston in the summer of 2023 after the Celtics acquired him in a trade with Washington. ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba Kyle Hightower, The Associated Press See a typo/mistake?
