St. Peters man catches state record fish from Missouri River

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 07:15:42 GMT

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - A St. Peters man reeled in a state-record-matching fish from the Missouri River earlier this month. The Missouri Department of Conservation reports that Anthony Rozniak caught a three-pound skipjack herring on Dec. 6 while fishing with his brother near St. Louis. Rozniak and his brother were hoping to reel in catfish that day. His first catch of the day was a one-and-a-half-pound skipjack. Moments later, Rozniak enjoyed an even bigger surprise. Soulard bar owners question legitimacy of NYE bar crawl promoted online “The very next cast was double that size,” he told MDC. “We had only been out fishing for 15 minutes by the time I caught it. I looked at my brother and said, ‘I hate to cancel our fishing trip, but we got a state record! We got to go!’”MDC officials weighed the fish at their St. Louis regional office. MDC says Rozniak matched the pole-and-line record for a skipjack herring, also attained in 2017 and 2019 in the Osage River. Close ...

Do you have slow Wi-Fi this holiday season? Your Christmas lights could be the reason

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 07:15:42 GMT

ST. LOUIS – Tangled in Wi-Fi issues this holiday season? Surprisingly, your Christmas lights might be the hidden culprit. While the lights themselves don't directly interfere with Wi-Fi signals, the flashing or flickering LED bulbs, especially those with cheap or poorly built power supplies, can cause disruptions.Certain LED lights produce electrical noise, which is the source of the interference. This noise, often a hum or buzzing, results from the internal electronic vibrations of the LED driver.There's a chance this electrical noise falls within the same frequency range as Wi-Fi signals, particularly in the commonly used 2.4 GHz band. Are you using your headlights properly? Missouri law has guidelines on light usage When the Christmas lights' electrical noise mingles with Wi-Fi signals, it can lead to slowed connections or brief outages.To combat Wi-Fi interference, opt for high-quality LED Christmas lights that adhere to electromagnetic compatibility standards. These lights a...

Nuggets’ Jamal Murray still hopes to join Canada at Olympics despite injury-littered start to season: “It’s been a rocky beginning, but I think we’re on the right track”

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 07:15:42 GMT

TORONTO — Jamal Murray’s postgame news conferences during the Nuggets’ annual trips to Canada have become almost as big a deal as the games themselves. Especially now that he’s an NBA champion.In his latest, after scoring 20 points in a 113-104 win over the Raptors on Wednesday night, Murray reaffirmed his plan to join Team Canada at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris — if he stays healthy between now and then.That’s easier said than done, if the first two months of this season are any indicator.“I’m still trying to get there (to the level I want to play at),” the Nuggets point guard said. “Obviously I’ve been in and out of the lineup. Just trying to get my body right. I’ve been on a minutes restriction for a while now. So just trying to build my way up and stay healthy for the remainder of the season. It’s been a rocky beginning, but I think we’re on the right track.”Murray missed most of November (11 games total) with a ri...

This foolproof tart is ready to feed a party

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 07:15:42 GMT

By Genevieve Ko, The New York TimesIt’s been a hard year, and finding small joys feels particularly important right now around the holidays. When I considered which treat could deliver that happiness in this season (aside from cookies, of course), I remembered the first pastry I learned as a restaurant cook. In the basement corner of a little French bistro, we turned out chocolate tarts, the elegant little black dress of desserts.Fashioned in the style of renowned chef Joël Robuchon’s recipe, the filling was as creamy as pudding and as silky and softly set as crème brûlée. With a buttery, crisp crust, the tart made the diners feel special and the cooks feel empowered by their baking prowess.This big chocolate tart does the same and requires no professional training to guarantee stunning results.In a significant departure from most tarts, it’s made in a rectangular cake pan. The speed bump edges of a fluted tart pan, and even the smooth lines of a tart ring, necessitate stressful dou...

Live updates | Gaza sees more airstrikes and UN says half a million people are ‘starving’

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 07:15:42 GMT

A report released Thursday by the U.N. finds that more than half a million people in Gaza are “starving” because of not enough food entering the territory since the outbreak of war more than 10 weeks ago. Tens of thousands of people are crammed into shelters and tent camps amid shortages of food, medicine and other basic supplies. A World Health Organization official who visited two hospitals in northern Gaza said they were doing more amputations because of staff, electricity and supply shortages. As diplomatic efforts to secure aid deliveries and another cease-fire in the conflict, Israel carried out more strikes and other operations across Gaza, but a territory-wide communications outage made it difficult to confirm details about the fighting. Hamas, meanwhile, fired a barrage of rockets at Tel Aviv, underscoring the militant group’s resilience in the face of Israel’s blistering campaign to destroy it.Roughly 20,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel declared w...

A Republican proposal to legalize medical marijuana in Wisconsin is coming soon

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 07:15:42 GMT

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Republicans plan to unveil a proposal soon to legalize medical marijuana in the state and could vote on it sometime in 2024, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said.Republicans have been working behind closed doors for years on a medical marijuana bill. Along the way, they have rejected calls from Gov. Tony Evers and other Democrats to legalize all uses of marijuana, including medical and recreational.Vos, in an interview Wednesday, said the proposal will be limited and modeled after the medical marijuana law that had been in place in neighboring Minnesota before it moved to full legalization.“It is not going to be widespread,” he said. “We are not going to have dispensaries on every corner in every city.”He said Assembly Republicans are on board in concept, but no one has seen the actual proposal yet. He expected to unveil it in January. Vos had said in April that he hoped to have the bill by the fall of 2023, but he said it took more time to find consensus.“...
