There was a very special surprise for a special boy this holiday season.It was part of the annual Spread Joy toy drive that took place Saturday at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami.Bradley, a nonverbal child who can’t walk, received an SUV custom-built by CCC Miami.The boy’s parents, Vilma and Jose Migenis, said the small vehicle will improve his time outdoors.“It’s going to be really special. Our afternoon strolls in the stroller, sometimes he’s not very happy with it, so to have something that he can ride, wind in his face, it’s a different experience for the afternoons, and he’s really going to enjoy that,” said Vilma.The remote operated vehicle, designed to look like a Mercedes-Benz SUV, was custom-built to fit all of Bradley’s needs.

Mostert, Tagovailoa lead Dolphins to a 30-0 victory over the Jets without Tyreek Hill

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Raheem Mostert scored two more touchdowns to set Miami’s single-season record with 20, Tua Tagovailoa threw for 224 yards and a score and the Dolphins shut out the New York Jets 30-0 on Sunday without star receiver Tyreek Hill.Mostert walked into the end zone untouched on a 2-yard run that put AFC East-leading Miami (10-4) ahead 7-0 and gave the ninth-year running back his 17th rushing touchdown of the season — one more than Ricky Williams, who set the record in 2002. The score was also Mostert’s 19th overall, which broke the team record of 18 set by Mark Clayton in 1984.Tagovailoa was 21 of 24 with an 87.5% completion percentage and a 60-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle. He was replaced by Mike White with 8:32 remaining and the Dolphins up by 30.A week after Zach Wilson threw for over 300 yards against Houston, the Jets’ third-year quarterback’s day was cut short when he left late in the second quarter with a concussion.

Senate talks on war aid, border, drag on

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:35:43 GMT

WASHINGTON — White House and Senate negotiators dug in Sunday laboring to reach a U.S. border security deal that would unlock President Joe Biden’s request for billions of dollars worth of military aid for Ukraine and other national security needs before senators leave town for the holiday recess.The Biden administration, which is becoming more deeply involved in the talks, is facing pressure from all sides over any deal. Negotiators had hoped to reach a framework by the weekend, but that’s highly unlikely. Republican leaders signaled that without bill text, an upcoming procedural would likely fail.The talks come as Donald Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner in 2024, delivered alarming anti-immigrant remarks about “blood” purity over the weekend, echoing Nazi slogans of World War II to cheers at a political rally.“They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” Trump said about the record numbers of immigrants coming to the U.S. wit...

MSTCA Large School Classic: Natick dominates 600

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:35:43 GMT

A talented trio of Natick runners competed outside their comfort zones in the 600 at Sunday’s MSTCA Large School Speed Classic and came away owning the event on the Reggie Lewis Center track.Nick Bianchi is a 4:23 miler and his brother John has run 4:26. The third runner, Andy Marotta, has clocked a 51.0 in the 400. The brothers dropped down to compete in the 600 and Marotta moved up. The result was a 1-2-3 finish with Nick clocking a 1:26.99 and John and Andy finishing in 1:27.21 and 1:27.26, respectively, in an event that drew 85 athletes.The race was used as a speed workout for the two brothers who are used to the longer distances and are concentrating on improving their mile times. “I’m trying to go under 4:20 this winter,” said Nick, who will attend Stonehill College. “I knew I had to make sure I finished hard through the line. This is the most fun running a race I’ve ever had. It’s the perfect distance.”Lucas Andrade has gotten o...

Patriots QB Bailey Zappe fades late after strong start once again

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:35:43 GMT

FOXBORO — For a while, Bailey Zappe went throw to throw with Patrick Mahomes and held his own. The second-year Patriots quarterback was nearly perfect in the first half and likely would have gone into halftime with a lead if not for some ill-timed offensive penalties.But much like last week against the Steelers, Zappe’s hot start wouldn’t last.Zappe threw a backbreaking interception on his first throw of the second half, allowing Kansas City to seize control of what had previously been a neck and neck game. Things progressively got worse from there and the end result was yet another poor offensive effort.“Simply not good enough,” Zappe said after the game. “Starting out hot in the first half again like we did the previous week, came in here and made adjustments, understood what we wanted to attack, went out in the second half and threw an interception on the first play of the second half, which was terrible on my part. Take away that, you take away seve...

Israel faces new calls for truce out of EU 

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:35:43 GMT

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip  — Israel’s government faced calls for a cease-fire from some of its closest European allies on Sunday after a series of shootings, including the mistaken killing of three Israeli hostages, fueled global concerns about the conduct of the 10-week-old war in Gaza.Israeli protesters are urging their government to renew negotiations with Gaza’s Hamas rulers, whom Israel has vowed to destroy. Israel is also expected to face pressure to scale back major combat operations when U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visits Monday. Washington is expressing growing unease with civilian casualties even as it provides vital military and diplomatic support.In Israel on Sunday, French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna called for an “immediate truce” aimed at releasing more hostages, getting larger amounts of aid into Gaza and moving toward “the beginning of a political solution.”The foreign ministers of the U.K. and Germany, meanwhile, c...

Patriots have no answers for latest bizarre situation involving J.C. Jackson

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:35:43 GMT

FOXBORO — The latest turn in the J.C. Jackson saga was a strange one as his return to the Patriots fails to live up to once lofty expectations.Jackson was active in Sunday’s 27-17 loss to the Chiefs but didn’t play a single snap. Jackson wasn’t spotted on the sideline, so it seems something must have happened between 11:30 a.m. ET when inactives were announced and 1 p.m. when the game started. If the Patriots had known Jackson wasn’t going to play, then cornerback Shaun Wade likely would not have been included on the inactive list. The Patriots were left with Jonathan Jones, Myles Bryant and rookie Alex Austin, who said he was surprised to start.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Bailey Zappe’s interception proves costly in Patriots’ 27-17 loss to Chiefs New England Patriots | Patriots starting LG Cole Strange ruled out after being carted off with knee injury New England Patriots | Patriots stil...

Jaylen Brown delivers dominant performance to lead Celtics to sweep of Magic

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:35:43 GMT

Jaylen Brown believes he’s playing some of the best basketball of his career, and he’s continuing to back it up.The Celtics star may have gotten off to a slow start to this season as he acclimated to some new teammates. He may have been mocked by a social media post from ESPN that suggested he was playing selfish basketball. His overall numbers may be down, but his growth on both sides of the ball has been apparent – and even more so this week.Brown finished off his best week of the season in a big way on Sunday afternoon. He scored 31 points, which included five 3-pointers, added six assists as he continued to develop as a dangerous facilitator and was locked in defensively again. His dominant performance led the way for the Celtics as they ran away from the Magic with a 114-97 victory, which capped another perfect homestand at TD Garden.Jayson Tatum added 23 points and Kristaps Porzingis had 15 in his return from a one-game absence as the Celtics improved to 14-0 at home. They ove...
