Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel responds to a question during an end-of-season NFL football news conference, Monday, Jan. 5, 2026, in Miami Gardens, Fla. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky)2026-01-05T19:14:02Z The NFL has eight coaching openings after Mike McDaniel was fired by the Miami Dolphins on Thursday.The league had three dismissals on Black Monday, one on Sunday night and one on Tuesday night. Two coaches were fired during the season.Heres the rundown:Dolphins, Mike McDanielThe Dolphins went 35-33 in four seasons under McDaniel, reaching the playoffs in his first two seasons but losing in the first round each time. Miami missed the postseason in 2024 after being eliminated by the Jets in the regular-season finale. This year, their postseason hopes ended with a loss to Pittsburgh in Week 15, ensuring that their 25-year playoff-win drought the longest streak in the NFL would continue.Ravens, John HarbaughAfter 18 seasons as Baltimores coach, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti relieved Harbaugh of his duties after his team was one of the NFLs most disappointing teams. Harbaugh went 193-124 including the postseason. He led the 2012 Ravens to a Super Bowl title and reached the AFC championship game on three other occasions. Cardinals, Jonathan GannonArizona came into the season with high hopes of contending in the NFC West but finished with just three wins for one of the worst records in franchise history. The 37-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday was the teams ninth straight and 14th in 15 games. Gannon finished 15-36 in three seasons. Raiders, Pete CarrollCarroll, the NFLs oldest coach at 74, did not come close to enjoying the success he did while winning one of two Super Bowls over 14 years with Seattle and two national titles in nine years at Southern California. The Raiders were 3-14 in Carrolls only season and had a 10-game losing streak before they posted a 14-12 victory over Kansas City on Sunday. Browns, Kevin StefanskiTwo straight wins to end the regular season couldnt save Stefanski, who was 5-12 this season and 46-58 over six years. He led the Browns to the playoffs in 2020 and 2023 and was AP coach of the year both seasons. But he could never lock down a franchise quarterback, going through 13 starters, including seven the past two seasons. Falcons, Raheem MorrisThe Falcons were 8-9 two straight years under Morris and finished this season with four wins in a row and in a three-way tie for first in the NFC South. The streak came after the team had been eliminated from playoff contention. Morris had been the Falcons interim coach for the final 11 games in 2020 after Dan Quinn was fired and he returned last year after having been the Rams defensive coordinator.Giants, Brian DabollDaboll was fired Nov. 10 after the Giants lost eight of their first 10 games. An upset of defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia was followed by four straight losses, including one to Denver in which the Giants blew an 18-point lead with six minutes to play. Daboll led the Giants to the playoffs in his first season but went 11-33 after that and finished 20-40-1.Titans, Brian CallahanCallahan was the first coach fired, on Oct. 14, after the Titans lost five of their first six games. Callahan was 4-19, including a 10-game losing streak. He handed off play-calling duties after a 0-3 start in a sign of things to come. Of the 241 NFL coaches who have coached at least 20 games or more since the 1970 merger, Callahan ranks 237th with a .174 winning percentage.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl RSShttps://feedx.net https://feedx.site

CORRECTS YEAR TO 2026 - People hug each other after a fatal shooting in a parking lot of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026. (Laura Seitz/The Deseret News via AP)2026-01-08T18:40:56Z SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Investigators say a shooting outside a church building in Salt Lake City that killed two people and injured six others grew out of a dispute between people who knew each other and were attending a funeral. No arrests have been made in Wednesdays shooting in the parking lot of a house of worship for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon church. Authorities say they do not know whether the shooting was gang-related and that they are having trouble getting witnesses to cooperate. Five people remained hospitalized Thursday, with police protection at those facilities. We are looking into the reason and cause for the gunfire, Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said Thursday morning. All the shooting victims were adults. At least three of the injured were in critical condition, police said. Vaea Tulikaninifo, 46, was one of the two people killed. Police said they do not believe the shooting was random or motivated by animus against the faith. The red brick church in the northwest Salt Lake City neighborhood mostly serves Tongan congregants and holds regular worship services in their native tongue, according to its website. Upon hearing gunshots, residents from a low-income housing complex next to the church flooded outside to help victims and console dozens of people who had been attending a funeral for a person whom police havent identified. Stay up to date with the news and the best of AP by following our WhatsApp channel. Follow on Brennan McIntire said he and his wife, Kenna, heard several loud gunshots from their apartment next to the church parking lot while watching TV. He jumped off the couch and ran outside in flip-flop sandals to see what happened. As soon as I came over, I see someone on the ground, he said. People are attending to him and crying and arguing.Kenna McIntire came outside soon after and was rattled at the sight of first responders lifting an unconscious woman into an ambulance while people huddled around and sobbed. The couple said they hear gunshots in their neighborhood almost daily, but never right outside their door.It was really heartbreaking to hear and see, she said.About 100 law enforcement vehicles were at the scene in the aftermath, and helicopters flew overhead. Neighbors huddled in blankets next to a taco truck, watching the officers work and waiting for updates.Police said they were reviewing license plate readers and surveillance videos from nearby businesses in their search for suspects.This should never have happened outside a place of worship. This should never have happened outside a celebration of life, Mayor Erin Mendenhall said.The church, headquartered in Salt Lake City, was cooperating with law enforcement and said it was grateful for first responders quick efforts.We extend prayers for all who have been impacted by this tragedy and express deep concern that any sacred space intended for worship should be subjected to violence of any kind, church spokesperson Sam Penrod said.About half of Utahs 3.5 million residents are members of the faith. Houses of worship like the one where the shooting occurred can be found tucked into neighborhoods around the city and state.The faith has been on heightened alert since four people were killed when a former Marine opened fire in a Michigan church in September and set it ablaze. The FBI found that he was motivated by anti-religious beliefs against Latter-day Saints. RSShttps://feedx.net https://feedx.site

This 2022 image provided by Shany Dror shows a dog named Mugsy in Massachusetts, who has learned the names of many of her toys. (Francine Hannan/Shany Dror via AP)2026-01-08T19:03:21Z NEW YORK (AP) Dogs are great at learning action commands like sit and stay. Theyre less good at remembering the names of things, like what their squeaky or stuffed toys are called.Only an elite group of gifted word-learner dogs can retain the names of hundreds of toys. Scientists know of about 50 such pooches, but they arent yet sure whats behind their wordy skills.Now, new research is pushing the limits of what the dogs can do.Scientists already knew that these extraordinary pups could learn the names of their stuffed pizza and doughnut toys from playtime with their owners. In the latest study, they discovered that the pups can also understand new names by eavesdropping.Ten gifted dogs including a Border collie named Basket and a Labrador named Augie watched their owners hold a new toy and talk to another person about it. Then the pups were told to go to another room and retrieve that specific toy from a pile of many others. Seven out of the 10 dogs successfully learned the names of their new toy stingrays and armadillos from passively listening to their owners. This is the first time that we see a specific group of dogs that are able to learn labels from overhearing interactions, said study author Shany Dror with Etvs Lornd University in Hungary and the University of Veterinary Medicine in Austria. The pups even succeeded when the owners put the toy in an opaque box and then spoke to another person about it, creating a disconnect between seeing the object and hearing its name. Only a few other animals, like parrots and apes, have demonstrated a knack for this kind of eavesdropping. Its also essential to human development: Children under age 2 can pick up new words from listening, including ones their parents may not have intended.However, these special dogs are fully grown, so the brain mechanisms enabling them to eavesdrop are likely different from those of humans, Dror said. The new work shows how animals have a lot more going on cognitively than maybe you think they do, said animal cognition expert Heidi Lyn with the University of South Alabama. She had no role in the study, which was published Thursday in the journal Science.Not all dogs pick things up like this, so its unlikely your furry friend is learning names while snacking on leftovers under the dinner table. Dror hopes to keep studying the gifted pooches and figuring out what cues theyre picking up on. Theyre some of her most enthusiastic and messy research subjects.We do have dogs coming to the lab sometimes, which is really nice, she said, but then often someone pees on the couch.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill, Monday, Jan. 5, 2026, in Washington. (AP Photo/Mariam Zuhaib)2026-01-08T19:27:37Z WASHINGTON (AP) In a remarkable rebuke of Republican leadership, the House is moving ahead Thursday on legislation that would extend expired health care subsidies for the Affordable Care Act after renegade GOP lawmakers joined essentially all Democrats to help millions of Americans afford insurance under Obamacare.Forcing the issue to a vote came about after a handful of Republicans signed on to a so-called discharge petition to unlock debate, bypassing objections from House Speaker Mike Johnson. If approved, the bill would go to the Senate, where pressure is building for a similar bipartisan compromise. Without action, estimates are that millions will go uninsured this year.Together, the rare political coalitions are rushing to resolve the standoff over the enhanced tax credits that were put in place during the COVID-19 crisis but expired late last year after no agreement was reached during the government shutdown. The affordability crisis is not a hoax, it is very real despite what Donald Trump has had to say, said House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, invoking the presidents remarks. Democrats made clear before the government was shut down that we were in this affordability fight until we win this affordability fight, he said. Today we have an opportunity to take a meaningful step forward.Ahead of voting, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that the bill, which would provide a three-year extension of the subsidy, would increase the nations deficit by about $80.6 billion over the decade. At the same time, it would increase the number of people with health insurance by 100,000 this year, 3 million in 2027, 4 million in 2028 and 1.1 million in 2029, the CBO said. Growing support for extending ACA subsidiesJohnson, R-La., worked for months to prevent this situation. His office argued Thursday that the federal health care funding from the COVID-19 era is ripe with fraud, pointing to an investigation in Minnesota, and urged a no vote.While the momentum shows the growing support for the tax breaks that have helped some 22 million Americans have access to health insurance, the Senate would be under no requirement to take up the House bill.Instead, a small group of senators from both parties has been working on an alternative plan that could find support in both chambers and become law. One proposal would be to shorten the extension of the subsidy to two years and make changes to the program, particularly to root out fraud.Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said that for any plan to find support in his chamber, it will need to have income limits to ensure that the financial aid is focused on those who most need the help. He and other Republicans also want to ensure that beneficiaries would have to at least pay a nominal amount for their coverage.Finally, Thune said there would need to be some expansion of health savings accounts, which allow people to save money and withdraw it tax-free as long as the money is spent on qualified medical expenses.Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., who is part of the negotiations on reforms and subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, said there is agreement on addressing fraud in health care. We recognize that we have millions of people in this country who are going to lose are losing, have lost their health insurance because they cant afford the premiums, Shaheen said. And so were trying to see if we cant get to some agreement thats going to help, and the sooner we can do that, the better.Trump has pushed Republicans to send money directly to Americans for health savings accounts so they can bypass the federal government and handle insurance on their own. Democrats largely reject this idea as insufficient for covering the high costs of health care. Republicans go around their leadersThe action by Republicans to force a vote has been an affront to Johnson and his leadership team, who essentially lost control of what comes to the House floor as the Republican lawmakers joined Democrats for the workaround. After last years government shutdown failed to resolve the issue, Johnson had discussed allowing more politically vulnerable GOP lawmakers a chance to vote on another health care bill that would temporarily extend the subsidies while also adding changes. But after days of discussions, Johnson and the GOP leadership sided with the more conservative wing, which has assailed the subsidies as propping up ACA, which they consider a failed government program. He offered a modest proposal of health care reforms that was approved, but has stalled. It was then that rank-and-file lawmakers took matters into their own hands, as many of their constituents faced soaring health insurance premiums beginning this month. Republican Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, Robert Bresnahan and Ryan Mackenzie, all from Pennsylvania, and Mike Lawler of New York, signed the Democrats petition, pushing it to the magic number of 218 needed to force a House vote. All four represent key swing districts whose races will help determine which party takes charge of the House next year. Lawler has portrayed the bill as a vehicle senators could use to reach a compromise.No matter the issue, if the House puts forward relatively strong, bipartisan support, it makes it easier for the senators to get there, Lawler said.Trump encourages GOP to take on health care issueWhat started as a long shot effort by Democrats to offer a discharge petition has become a political vindication of the Democrats government shutdown strategy as they fought to preserve the health care funds.Democrats are making clear that the higher health insurance costs many Americans are facing will be a political centerpiece of their efforts to retake the majority in the House and Senate in the fall elections.Trump, during a lengthy speech this week to House GOP lawmakers, encouraged his party to take control of the health care debate an issue that has stymied Republicans since he tried, and failed, to repeal Obamacare during his first term.___Associated Press writer Matt Brown contributed to this report.

A couple of Bosch 800 Series fully automatic espresso machines are seen on display at the Bosch booth during the CES tech show Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026, in Las Vegas. (AP Photo/John Locher)2026-01-08T20:02:26Z The promise of artificial intelligence was front and center at this years CES gadget show. But spicing up a simple machine like a refrigerator with unnecessary AI was also a surefire way to win the Worst in Show. The annual contest that no tech company wants to win announced its decisions Thursday. Among those getting the notorious anti-awards for invasive, wasteful or fragile products were an eye-tracking AI soulmate companion for combating loneliness, a musical lollipop and new AI features for Amazons widely used doorbell cameras.Shouting at a bespoke AI fridge that also hawks grocery productsSamsungs Bespoke AI Family Hub refrigerator received the overall Worst in Show recognition from the group of consumer and privacy advocates who judged the contest.Samsung invites users to speak to the refrigerator and command it to open or close the door, but a demonstration at the sprawling Las Vegas technology expo showed it didnt always detect what people were saying if there was too much ambient noise. That was just part of the complications and reliability concerns Samsung added to an appliance thats supposed to have one important job: keeping food cold, said Gay Gordon-Byrne of the Digital Right to Repair Coalition in a recorded video ceremony announcing the anti-awards. Everything is an order of magnitude more difficult, she said of the fridge that also tracks when food items are running low and can advertise replacements. Samsung said in response that a trade show floor is naturally very different from a consumers home environment. Our Bespoke AI experiences are designed to simplify decisions around the home, making life more convenient and enjoyable.The South Korean tech giant also said security and privacy are foundational to the AI experiences in the fridge.. Who decides whats Worst in ShowThe judges have no affiliation with CES or the trade group that runs the show.They say they make the choices based on how uniquely bad a product is, what impact it could have if widely adopted and if it was significantly worse than previous versions of similar technology. The judges represent groups including Consumer Reports, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and right-to-repair advocates iFixit. We definitely intend some shame, said iFixits director of sustainability, Elizabeth Chamberlain, in an interview. We do hope that manufacturers see this as a poke, as an impetus to do better next time. But our goal isnt to really shame any particular manufacturer as such. Were hoping that theyll make changes as a result of it. Were pointing to trends that we see in the industry as a whole. And a lot of the things that were calling out, we picked an individual product, but we could have picked a whole category. Amazons doorbells once again ring privacy alarmsAn array of new features for Amazons Ring doorbell camera system won the Worst in Show for privacy for doubling down on privacy invasion and supporting the misconception that more surveillance always makes us safer, said Cindy Cohn, executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.Among the new Ring features is an AI Unusual Event Alert that is supposed to detect unexpected people or happenings like the arrival of a pack of coyotes.That includes facial recognition, Cohn said of the new Ring features. It includes mobile surveillance towers that can be deployed at parking lots and other places, and it includes an app store thats going to let people develop even sketchier apps for the doorbell than the ones that Amazon already provides.Amazon didnt immediately respond to a request for comment. Deskbound AI soulmate companion is always watching your eyesWinning the Peoples Choice of worst products was an AI companion called Ami, made by Chinese company Lepro, which mostly sells lamps and lighting technology. Ami appears as a female avatar on a curved screen that is marketed as your always-on 3D soulmate, designed for remote workers looking for private and empathetic interactions during long days at the home office. It tracks eye movements and other emotional signals, like tone of voice.The group says it is calling out Lepro for having the audacity to suggest that an AI video surveillance device on a desk could be anyones soulmate. Advocates acknowledged the device comes with a physical camera shutter but said they were unsettled by its always-on marketing.Lepro didnt immediately respond to a request for comment. Tech lollipop gets dinged for environmental wasteLollipop Star attracted attention early at CES as a candy that plays music while you eat it. Its creators say it uses bone induction technology to enable people to hear songs like tracks from Ice Spice and Akon through the lollipop as they bite it using their back teeth. But the sticks cant be recharged or reused after the candy is gone, leaving consumer advocate Nathan Proctor to give it a Worst in Show for the environment.We need to stop making so many disposable electronics, which are full of toxic chemicals, require critical minerals to produce and can burn down waste facilities, said Proctor, who directs the Public Interest Research Groups right-to-repair campaign.A spokesperson for Lollipop Star maker Lava Brand didnt immediately respond to a message seeking comment. A treadmill powered by an AI chatbot fitness coach raises security concernsWorst in Show for security went to Merachs internet-connected treadmill that boasts of having the industrys first AI coach powered by a large language model that can converse with the user but also proactively adjust the speed and incline based on heart rate changes. All that collection of biometric data and behavioral inferences raised concerns for security advocates, but so did the fine print of a privacy policy that stated: We cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. China-based Merach didnt immediately respond to a request for comment. Talking coffee makers and making e-bikes hard to fix German tech company Bosch received two Worst in Show awards, one for adding voice assistants and subscriptions to coffee-making with a Personal AI Barista machine and another for a purported anti-theft feature on an e-bike app.Cory Doctorow, author of the book Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It and himself a Worst in Show judge, criticized Boschs parts pairing to digitally connect an e-bike with its parts, like motors and batteries, in a way that flags a part if it appeared on a database of stolen products.Even if Bosch doesnt seek to prosecute its own customers for routine repairs, it could always change its deal with them later, in line with Doctorows theory of the decay of online platforms as companies exploit the customers they earlier won over. Bosch said in a statement Thursday that earning and keeping trust with our consumers, especially in the areas of privacy and cybersecurity, is at the core of our companys values. Both Bosch Home Appliances and Bosch eBike Systems protect their consumers against unauthorized tampering or control through a comprehensive security concept, using encryption and authentication.-AP video journalist James Brooks contributed to this report from Las Vegas.
