George Strait, 72, Makes Rare Appearance With Wife Norma at 2024 CMA Awards

 


The country icon and his wife, Norma, made a rare public appearance at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., on Wednesday, Nov. 20, to attend the Country Music Association's 58th annual awards show.

Though it appeared that Strait, 72, had skipped the red carpet, the CMAs panned over to him during the opening remarks by Luke Bryan, Peyton Manning and Lainey Wilson, who are hosting this year's show. Strait and his wife later posed in their seats for a photo with Post Malone, with Strait donning an all-black outfit and matching cowboy hat as Norma wore a black and white sleeveless dress.

While fans online were excited to see Strait in the audience, many couldn't help but notice that he appeared less than thrilled by the new country music that the show was celebrating.

"I can’t help but wonder what George Strait is thinking about today’s country music sitting in the front row," one viewer wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

“I'm still tired often”: Barbara Sarafian gives an update on her battle with breast cancer in 'The smartest person in the world'


 
As a jury member, Barbara Sarafian (56) already earned her stripes in 'De slimste mens ter wereld', and on Wednesday evening she was also allowed to prove herself as a participant in the popular quiz. A task that the VTM landlady fully acquitted herself of, although it was mainly the candor about her battle with breast cancer that made everyone silent. And then a naked Jelle Cleymans had to ask a question...

An emotional start to this episode, thanks to a remarkably honest Barbara Sarafian. In her first TV appearance since her doctor discovered a carcinoma ( an early form of breast cancer, ed.) in early June , the actress immediately gave an update on her health. “I’m doing well, but I’m tired sometimes and I can suddenly fall asleep,” she said – after which a joke followed. “So if I fall asleep here: leave me alone. I’ll wake up and continue playing.”

There was a brief chuckle in the studio, after which Barbara became serious again. “I also want to take this moment to thank everyone,” she said. “It’s too much to do it via social media, but I want to say ‘thank you’ for all the sweet messages I’ve received, the support I’ve received... And also to all my sisters in a difficult situation: lots of strength and courage.”

Tacoma, Pierce County dodge worst of bomb cyclone damage thanks to this looming giant


 

East Pierce County took some of the hardest hits during Tuesday’s bomb cyclone, but the rest of the county still has a few leaves on its trees.

Thank you, Mount Rainier.

The 14,411-foot mountain most likely protected the bulk of Pierce County from the storm that lead to the deaths of at least two people further north, according to the National Weather Service in Seattle.

Enumclaw, in King County, saw a wind gust of 74 miles per hour. At 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, the city had more than 1,000 customers without power. Carbonado, Wilkeson, Eatonville and Orting were also digging out from down trees, suffering from power outages and canceling school in some cases.

Shadow effect

Meanwhile, winds were mild as they blew through Tacoma and surrounding areas. Wind gusts at the Tacoma Narrows Airport were only in the low 20-miles-per-hour range, according to the NWS.

Although the bomb cyclone was centered in the Pacific Ocean with its distinctive whirlpool shape, winds blew into Puget Sound from the southeast, according to NWS meteorologist Maddie Kristell.

“Another nature of easterly winds is, they definitely get a boost as they come down our side of the Cascades,” she said. “And it could have also just been they didn’t necessarily have quite enough momentum to continue to carry themselves in through Tacoma.”

The center of the cyclone stayed in the Pacific.

“We would have seen much more significant impacts if it hadn’t,” Kristell said.

Rainfall was minimal — about 1/10-inch — in Tacoma, she said.

Eastern Pierce communities fared worse in the storm because they were closer and more well-aligned with some of the Cascade gaps, Kristell said.

“That’s definitely reflected in the power outage maps that we’re seeing in the east Pierce lowlands,” she said.

Wind gusts on Washington’s coast were in the 40s and 50-miles-per-hour range with an inch of rain falling overnight, according to the NWS.

Neige : 1 à 3 cm à Paris, 7 cm en Essonne, perturbations... à quoi s’attendre en Île-de-France ce jeudi

 



Si la vigilance orange entre en vigueur à partir de 6 heures, il faudra a priori attendre le milieu de matinée voire la fin de matinée pour voir tomber les flocons sur la région.

Attention, il va neiger ! L’ensemble de la région de l’Île-de-France a été placé par Météo France en vigilance orange neige-verglas, pour la journée de jeudi. L’institut météorologique évoque un « épisode hivernal précoce pour les régions concernées et suffisamment notable pour rendre les conditions de circulation difficiles ». Les flocons devraient commencer à tomber sur les départements franciliens en début d’après-midi.

Selon Météo France, 1 à 3 cm de neige sont possibles sur Paris et la petite couronne et jusqu’à 7 cm dans l’Essonne. « En Île-de-France, on attend 1 à 3 cm, localement 5 à 7 cm sur le sud de la région », précise le prévisionniste. Si la vigilance orange entre en vigueur à partir de 6 heures, il faudra a priori attendre le milieu de matinée voire la fin de matinée pour voir tomber les flocons sur la région, d’est en ouest, jusqu’à la fin de l’après-midi. Les conditions climatiques la nuit suivante pourraient être compliquées avec un phénomène de regel.

Des perturbations dans les transports ?

Pour l’heure, aucune information n’a été communiquée concernant d’éventuelles perturbations. La vigilance orange appelle toutefois à « limiter » ses déplacements au maximum. « Les conditions de circulation peuvent devenir rapidement très difficiles sur l’ensemble du réseau, tout particulièrement en secteur forestier où des chutes d’arbres peuvent accentuer les difficultés », justifie Météo France, dans son dernier bulletin.

One Direction stars mourn Liam Payne at funeral


 


Family, friends, and former bandmates have remembered Liam Payne at the One Direction star's funeral, just over a month after he died at the age of 31.

The private service took place on Wednesday in Amersham in Buckinghamshire, north-west of London.

Payne's former bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik were among the mourners, alongside Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy and his former partner Cheryl, with whom he shares a son.

Payne's coffin arrived at the church on a white horse-drawn hearse carrying floral tributes spelling the words "son" and "daddy".

After the service, four pallbearers carried the coffin from St Mary's Church, followed by his parents and Cheryl.

Her Girls Aloud bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts also attended the service, as did One Direction's former label boss Simon Cowell, who was seen comforting the family.

Presenters James Corden, Marvin and Rochelle Humes, Scott Mills, and Adrian Chiles were also among the mourners.

B.C. Hydro says tens of thousands without power after 'bomb cyclone'

Las lecciones que dejó la victoria de México ante Honduras


 

México sigue con vida en la Concacaf Nations League y su próximo partido será hasta marzo del 2025.


Javier Aguirre admitió que tuvo que acudir al plan ‘B’ para enfrentar el segundo partido contra Honduras y clasificar al Final Four de la Nations League de la Concacaf. El técnico mexicano asegura que de estos dos partidos se lleva algunas lecciones, que le permiten ir definiendo el equipo para la Copa del Mundo 2026.

Henry Martín reclama un lugar a lado de Raúl Jiménez en la Selección Mexicana

Henry Martín fue ninguneado por Javier Aguirre en San Pedro Sula. El capitán del América fue a la grada en el primer juego contra Honduras, lo que provocó las críticas en contra del Vasco. En el Nemesio Díez, el atacante entró de cambio e hizo pareja con Raúl Jiménez, con resultados positivos para México.

“Nunca habíamos probado en un partido jugar con dos puntas”, reconoció Javier Aguirre, después de que Henry Martín anotó dos de los cuatro goles de México ante Honduras. “Es algo que ahora ya sabemos que nos funciona”, mencionó el Vasco.

Aguirre ha probado a seis delanteros en sus seis juegos como entrenador de la Selección Mexicana. Henry Martín y Raúl Jiménez son los que mejor rendimiento han mostrado.

Trump names Linda McMahon as his pick for Education secretary


 


President-elect Donald Trump has named his transition co-chair Linda McMahon as his pick to serve as the next secretary of the Department of Education.

The decision, which Trump announced Tuesday night confirming CNN’s earlier reporting, took shape after it became clear that McMahon would be passed over for Commerce secretary. Trump named his other transition co-chair, Howard Lutnick, as his pick to lead the Commerce Department earlier Tuesday after the Cantor Fitzgerald CEO had thrown his name into the mix for Treasury secretary, sparking a battle with hedge fund manager Scott Bessent.

“Linda will use her decades of Leadership experience, and deep understanding of both Education and Business, to empower the next generation of American Students and Workers, and make America Number One in Education in the World. We will send Education BACK TO THE STATES, and Linda will spearhead that effort,” Trump said in a statement.

McMahon, a major Republican donor and a former pro-wrestling executive, served as the administrator of the Small Business Administration during Trump’s first term. She was appointed in 2017 and resigned in 2019 to become the chair of America First Action, a pro-Trump super PAC.

She is the board chair of the America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump think tank that was formed in 2021 by McMahon, Larry Kudlow and other advisers from the first Trump administration.

AFPI has raised millions of dollars since it was founded and has been described as a “White-House-in-waiting,” planning potential policy proposals for Trump’s second term.
