Which snowboard brand is best?
Brand matters, especially when hunting for the next snowboard you’ll use to shred powder. While there are many well-known snowboard brands — and even more lesser-known, up-and-coming brands — your safest bet for purchasing the best snowboard is to go through the best snowboard brand.
In the world of snowboarding, Burton is widely considered the top choice. A Burton board like the Flight Attendant will give you confidence that you can always ride at your best.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The world this year pumped 1.1% more heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the air than last year because of increased pollution from China and India, a team of scientists reported.
The increase was reported early Tuesday at international climate talks, where global officials are trying to cut emissions by 43% by 2030. Instead, carbon pollution keeps rising, with 36.8 billion metric tons poured into the air in 2023, twice the annual amount of 40 years ago, according to Global Carbon Project, a group of international scientists...

Our desires can work in our favor more so than usual. The Moon in Virgo starts out with a square to the Sun in Sagittarius, so we will need to balance our responsibilities with our urge for freedom. The Moon will then trine rebel Uranus in Taurus, allowing us to approach things in an updated way. Most importantly, Venus in Scorpio will trine Saturn in Pisces at 5:51 pm EST, reminding us of the importance of being honest with our feelings and our needs.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jim Leyland, who led the Florida Marlins to a World Series title in 1997 and won 1,769 regular-season games over 22 seasons as an entertaining and at-times crusty big league manager, was elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame on Sunday.
Now 78, Leyland received 15 of 16 votes by the contemporary era committee for managers, executives and umpires. He becomes the 23rd manager in the hall.
Former player and manager Lou Piniella fell one vote short for the second time after also getting 11 votes in 2018. Former player, broadcaster and executive...

LANDOVER, Maryland — The day that landed Tyreek Hill squarely in the NFL’s Most Valuable Player race began with a simple eye contact with Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
“We just looked at each other,” he said.
Actually, it didn’t begin there. It began in one of those thankless hours of video work where coaches look for an opponent’s tendencies to attack. Mike McDaniel and his staff found one they put into quick use Sunday afternoon.
If they put running back De’Von Achane in motion to a receiving slot on the right side, Washington linebacker Jamin Davis would move to cover him. That...

BOCA RATON — Johnell Davis scored 24, and Vladislav Goldin added 17 points and 12 rebounds to propel No. 13 Florida Atlantic to a 90-74 victory over Charleston in the finale of the Field of 68 Tipoff.
Coming off a performance without a field goal against Liberty in the Tipoff opener, Davis took over the Owls’ offense in the final 12 minutes. Davis, a junior, also grabbed 10 rebounds.
Reyne Smith led the Cougars (4-4) with 14 points.
Back-to-back Davis buckets gave the Owls (7-1) their first lead of the second half, 56-55. The Owls never looked back.

ATLANTA — Alabama is again the top dog in the Southeastern Conference — and perhaps headed to the College Football Playoff — after ending Georgia’s 29-game winning streak with a 27-24 victory over the No. 1 Bulldogs in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday.
Now the big question: Is Georgia’s bid for a third straight national title over?
Iron Bowl hero Jalen Milroe threw a pair of touchdown passes and No. 8 Alabama’s defense dominated much of the way after giving up a score on Georgia’s opening possession — a compelling playoff statement for a Crimson Tide team that lost at...

SUNRISE — Ilya Sorokin stopped 43 shots, Julien Gauthier scored early in the third period and the New York Islanders beat the Florida Panthers 4-3 on Saturday.
Brock Nelson and Bo Horvat each had two assists for the Islanders, who were without forward Mathew Barzal, and Gauthier also had a two-point night. Sorokin finished with at least 40 saves for the fourth time this season.
Carter Verhaeghe had a goal and an assist for Florida, which also got goals from Matthew Tkachuk — snapping a personal 10-game scoring drought — and Sam Reinhart. Anthony Stolarz made 22...
Chaminade-Madonna’s 47-7 win over Miami Archbishop Carroll in the Class 1M state semifinals on Friday may have been Jeremiah Smith’s last home game in South Florida.
Unless Mario Cristobal has anything to say about it.
The Hurricanes are still persistently recruiting the nation’s No. 1 prospect in the final weeks before the Early Signing Period, which begins on Dec. 20, hoping to get him to flip his commitment from Ohio State to the hometown program, which already has commitments from two of his teammates, Joshisa Trader and Zaquan Patterson.
Miami is making a late push for Smith and his teammate,...
