The military's tradition of tracking Santa Claus on his gravity-defying sweep across the globe will carry on this Christmas Eve, even if the U.S. government shuts down , officials said Friday. Each year, at least 100,000 kids call into the North American Aerospace Defense Command to inquire about Santa’s location. Millions more follow online . “We fully expect for Santa to take flight on Dec. 24 and NORAD will track him," the U.S.-Canadian agency said in a statement. On any other night, NORAD is scanning the heavens for potential threats , such as last year's Chinese spy balloon . But on Christmas Eve, volunteers in Colorado Springs, Colorado, are fielding questions like, “When is Santa coming to my house?” and, “Am I on the naughty or nice list?” The endeavor is supported by local and corporate sponsors, who also help shield the tradition from Washington dysfunction. Bob Sommers, 63, a civilian contractor and NORAD volunteer, told The Associated Press that there are "screams and giggles and laughter” when families call in, usually on speakerphone. Sommers often says on the call that everyone must be asleep before Santa arrives, prompting parents to say, "Do you hear what he said? We got to go to bed early." NORAD's annual tracking of Santa has endured since the Cold War , predating ugly sweater parties and Mariah Carey classics . Here's how it began and why the phones keep ringing. It started with a child's accidental phone call in 1955. The Colorado Springs newspaper printed a Sears advertisement that encouraged children to call Santa, listing a phone number. A boy called. But he reached the Continental Air Defense Command, now NORAD, a joint U.S. and Canadian effort to spot potential enemy attacks. Tensions were growing with the Soviet Union, along with anxieties about nuclear war. Air Force Col. Harry W. Shoup picked up an emergency-only “red phone” and was greeted by a tiny voice that began to recite a Christmas wish list. “He went on a little bit, and he takes a breath, then says, ‘Hey, you’re not Santa,’” Shoup told The Associated Press in 1999. Realizing an explanation would be lost on the youngster, Shoup summoned a deep, jolly voice and replied, “Ho, ho, ho! Yes, I am Santa Claus. Have you been a good boy?” Shoup said he learned from the boy's mother that Sears mistakenly printed the top-secret number. He hung up, but the phone soon rang again with a young girl reciting her Christmas list. Fifty calls a day followed, he said. In the pre-digital age, the agency used a 60-by-80-foot (18-by-24-meter) plexiglass map of North America to track unidentified objects. A staff member jokingly drew Santa and his sleigh over the North Pole. The tradition was born. “Note to the kiddies,” began an AP story from Colorado Springs on Dec. 23, 1955. “Santa Claus Friday was assured safe passage into the United States by the Continental Air Defense Command.” In a likely reference to the Soviets, the article noted that Santa was guarded against possible attack from "those who do not believe in Christmas.” Some grinchy journalists have nitpicked Shoup's story, questioning whether a misprint or a misdial prompted the boy's call. In 2014, tech news site Gizmodo cited an International News Service story from Dec. 1, 1955, about a child's call to Shoup. Published in the Pasadena Independent, the article said the child reversed two digits in the Sears number. "When a childish voice asked COC commander Col. Harry Shoup, if there was a Santa Claus at the North Pole, he answered much more roughly than he should — considering the season: ‘There may be a guy called Santa Claus at the North Pole, but he’s not the one I worry about coming from that direction,'" Shoup said in the brief piece. In 2015, The Atlantic magazine doubted the flood of calls to the secret line, while noting that Shoup had a flair for public relations. Phone calls aside, Shoup was indeed media savvy. In 1986, he told the Scripps Howard News Service that he recognized an opportunity when a staff member drew Santa on the glass map in 1955. A lieutenant colonel promised to have it erased. But Shoup said, “You leave it right there,” and summoned public affairs. Shoup wanted to boost morale for the troops and public alike. “Why, it made the military look good — like we’re not all a bunch of snobs who don’t care about Santa Claus,” he said. Shoup died in 2009. His children told the StoryCorps podcast in 2014 that it was a misprinted Sears ad that prompted the phone calls. “And later in life he got letters from all over the world,” said Terri Van Keuren, a daughter. "People saying ‘Thank you, Colonel, for having, you know, this sense of humor.’” NORAD's tradition is one of the few modern additions to the centuries-old Santa story that have endured, according to Gerry Bowler, a Canadian historian who spoke to the AP in 2010. Ad campaigns or movies try to “kidnap” Santa for commercial purposes, said Bowler, who wrote “Santa Claus: A Biography.” NORAD, by contrast, takes an essential element of Santa's story and views it through a technological lens. In a recent interview with the AP, Air Force Lt. Gen. Case Cunningham explained that NORAD radars in Alaska and Canada — known as the northern warning system — are the first to detect Santa. He leaves the North Pole and typically heads for the international dateline in the Pacific Ocean. From there he moves west, following the night. “That's when the satellite systems we use to track and identify targets of interest every single day start to kick in,” Cunningham said. “A probably little-known fact is that Rudolph’s nose that glows red emanates a lot of heat. And so those satellites track (Santa) through that heat source.” NORAD has an app and website, www.noradsanta.org , that will track Santa on Christmas Eve from 4 a.m. to midnight, mountain standard time. People can call 1-877-HI-NORAD to ask live operators about Santa’s location from 6 a.m. to midnight, mountain time.Spotlight on Potential: 2 Mid-Cap Stocks Ready for a Remarkable Comeback in 2025

The aerial views of the Kenyalang Smart City in Senadin is shown in this artist’s impression. MIRI City is moving well on the development ladder, with two major development projects taking place in its core this year. One of the projects is the much-talked-about Kenyalang Smart City (KSC) in Senadin. KSC is a development master plan by architecture firm TAK, founded by homegrown Miri architect Teo Ah Khing, on behalf of developer Imasa Dinasti Sdn Bhd. The project is aimed at impacting communities not only in and around Miri City but further afield, with the impact set to be carried out over generations. KSC is an integrated smart city development located immediately adjacent to the Curtin University Malaysia campus. Set across 543 acres, it is segmented into five parcels that collectively will be developed over a 15-20 year period. The project is envisaged to play a major role in fulfilling the Sarawak government’s vision to re-engineer its economy, diversifying it from being a heavy-resourced based economy, leveraging its assets, and intensifying digitalisation. It is planned to be a satellite hub capable of spurring economic growth through the northern suburbs of Miri City and the broader northern region of Sarawak. KSC incorporates trade, education, logistics, medical, wellness, entrepreneurship, residential, recreational, solar energy generation, and green lung districts in an eco-friendly environment. Thus, it will be a fully-integrated smart city development – a city with requisite sophisticated amenities and facilities to house local and international communities as well as to cater to the region’s ever-growing demand for both long and short-term visitors. Through the integration of sustainable innovation, smart architecture, and green design, KSC will create a community with improved quality of living. The same community will also enjoy additional benefits of smart security, smart mobility, smart connectivity, smart health, smart automation, and smart governance. Upon its completion, KSC will be a model city for Sarawakians that can headquarter new industries as well as established ones, presenting a bespoke vision for the future of Miri and the wider East Malaysia. A Kenyalang Smart City Summit was held here in May and officiated by Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. The summit was attended by state cabinet members and government officials as well as local and international investors from the Middle East and Asia, including the People’s Republic of China, Australia, Singapore, and Indonesia. It saw the signing of eight memorandums of understanding (MoUs) between Imasa Dinasti Sdn Bhd and Fudan Institutes of Integrative Medicine, China Broadnet, CIFH, Sinahydro Bureau 12, China Construction Development (Malaysia), Envision Energy Group, ESG Malaysia, and GreenRE. The MoU with Fudan Institutes of Integrative Medicine is meant to establish the Southeast Asia branch of Fudan University’s Institutes of Integrative Medicine in the KSC. With China Investment Financial Holdings, the MoU covers the potential establishment of commercial opportunities in energy, healthcare, entertainment, artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent ports, high speed rail, and other technologies. The MoU with China Broadnet will cover the smart city’s components including, but not limited to, smart infrastructure, communications, smart construction sites and others, while the MoU with ESG Malaysia will be on realising the best sustainability practices within the KSC. Miri Mayor Adam Yii said the overall development of the project also aligns with Miri City’s vision in building a green, smart, and most liveable international resort city. “The overall development of this project will provide the much-needed impetus for Miri City’s next phase of development.” He said Miri City has come a long way from a small fishing village since oil was found, developed and produced in 1910 by Shell with the first well drilled on top of the Canada Hill, which survived the Japanese Occupation in World War II (WWII), and was elevated to city status in 2005. According to him, Miri has a much more cosmopolitan character as compared to other places in Sarawak and is on track towards development after being selected as the pioneer city for the Smart City Initiatives by the state government on Jan 30, 2020. The development of the KSC will have a very big impact on tourism in Miri, as its development augurs well for economic growth from the spin-offs, especially in the tourism sector in the northern region of Sarawak. The other major project in Miri this year is the Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) Power Plant in Lutong, under Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros). With an investment of about RM2 billion, the 500MW Miri CCGT Power Plant will be utilising an advanced gas turbine with heat recovery steam generator and steam turbine to deliver cleaner and more efficient energy to the Sarawak grid network. The facility will support Sarawak’s current and future energy demands while enhancing energy reliability for northern Sarawak. In his address during the project’s groundbreaking ceremony last month, the Premier highlighted Petros’ vital role in driving the state’s oil and gas sector. Photo from Sarawak Public Communications Unit shows the artist’s impression of the CCGT Power Plant in Lutong. “The Miri CCGT Power Plant is more than an infrastructure project; it is a symbol of our collective aspiration to make Sarawak a leader in energy innovation while creating tangible benefits for our people,” he said. “This project is a crucial step towards realising the Sarawak Gas Roadmap (SGR) and achieving our vision of becoming a high-income state by 2030.” The Miri CCGT Power Plant represents Sarawak’s commitment to responsibly harnessing the state’s abundant natural gas resources. By increasing domestic gas utilisation from 6 per cent to 30 per cent by 2030, the project underscores Petros’ dedication to creating opportunities for Sarawakians while leveraging the state’s resources to meet both current and future energy demands sustainably. The project was also a testament to Petros’ commitment to Sarawak and its people. Since its establishment in 2017, Petros has acted on its commitment to harness Sarawak’s resources for sustainable progress. The Miri CCGT represents a new era of economic growth, local talent development, and energy security for the state. The powerplant, expected to be operational by the end of 2027, will contribute significantly to Sarawak’s energy infrastructure and economy, highlighting Petros’ role as Sarawak’s appointed Gas Aggregator – responsible for ensuring efficient gas distribution while driving industrial development. As Petros commemorates its seventh anniversary this year, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Miri CCGT Power Plant serves as a reflection of its commitment to Sarawak’s progress, reinforcing the shared vision of building a sustainable energy future while honouring the state’s history as an energy pioneer. Miri has a population of about 350,000 and a land size of about 5,200 sq kms –about seven times the land size of Singapore which is 734.3 sq kms. Home to 34 ethnic groups of Sarawak living peacefully and harmoniously together, Miri is the gateway to northern Sarawak.

Meet Alexandra Saint Mleux, Charles Leclerc's influencer girlfriendMichelle Goth There is always that one dish on the Thanksgiving table – overlooked while the mashed potatoes and gravy steal the spotlight. Surprisingly, this much-maligned side dish has been a part of American tradition for centuries and holds endless possibilities beyond its original purpose, perfectly suited to be reinvented in unexpected ways. Despite its deep roots in Thanksgiving history, this dish remains one of the most polarizing items on the table today. What is this least popular Thanksgiving dish? Cranberry sauce. Cranberry sauce has been part of American cuisine for centuries. Native Americans used cranberries in cooking and medicine, and early European settlers followed suit, incorporating the berries into sauces and preserves. By the 19th century, cranberry sauce became a Thanksgiving tradition, although recipes varied by region. The introduction of canned cranberry sauce in the 20th century made it even more popular, cementing its spot as an expected accompaniment for Thanksgiving turkey on tables across the country. Those who do enjoy cranberry sauce probably have a strong opinion about what form is acceptable. Some people prefer canned cranberry sauce for its nostalgic jiggle, while others insist that fresh, homemade cranberry sauce is the only way to go. Homemade whole berry sauce is the top choice for many, with its texture and flavor offering something truly special. A 2021 survey by the grocery delivery service Instacart found that cranberry sauce is the least favorite Thanksgiving dish, with 29% of American adults saying they hate it and nearly 50% calling it disgusting. This makes cranberry sauce the most polarizing and the most disliked dish on the Thanksgiving table. Even though it ranks as the least favorite dish, omitting cranberry sauce from the holiday meal is still considered a bit of a Thanksgiving faux pas . Regardless of what kind of cranberry sauce graces the table, its lack of popularity guarantees leftovers. But do not let those leftovers go to waste; there are plenty of creative and delicious ways to use cranberry sauce beyond the Thanksgiving table. Leftover cranberry sauce? There is no need to despair. Here are some fun, delicious and inventive ways to give those leftovers a new purpose. Cranberry grilled cheese Cranberry sauce is the perfect addition to a grilled cheese sandwich. Layer sharp cheddar or brie cheese, turkey leftovers and a spoonful of cranberry sauce between two slices of sourdough bread. The tart cranberry cuts through the richness of the cheese for a perfectly balanced bite. To feed a crowd, consider making a casserole dish of turkey cranberry sliders with leftover sauce and turkey meat. Cranberry vinaigrette To make a simple salad dressing, grab a mason jar and add a tablespoon of leftover cranberry sauce. Pour in a splash of white balsamic vinegar and an equal portion of olive oil. Add pinches of fresh herbs, salt and pepper. Secure the lid, shake well and drizzle the zesty cranberry vinaigrette over an autumn salad with lettuce, gorgonzola cheese, pecans and dried cranberries. Cranberry BBQ sauce For an easy homemade barbecue sauce, mix leftover cranberry sauce with ketchup or chili sauce, a dash of hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce, and a bit of brown sugar. The result is a tangy barbecue sauce that pairs beautifully with cocktail meatballs , roasted chicken or pork chops. Guests will never guess that the base of your homemade barbecue sauce was the leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving. Cranberry yogurt parfait For a quick breakfast or snack, layer cranberry sauce with vanilla Greek yogurt and granola for a simple yet elegant autumn parfait. The sweetness of the granola and the tanginess of the cranberry sauce make for a great flavor balance. For bonus points, add a drizzle of maple syrup and pecans. Cocktail mixer Yes, cranberry sauce can be used in cocktails. To make a festive drink, shake a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce with vodka, a splash of orange juice and a squeeze of simple syrup. Add ice and a fresh rosemary sprig, and the result is a tart, refreshing cocktail perfect for the holiday season.

Cranberry sauce may never steal the spotlight during Thanksgiving dinner, where traditional dishes like mashed potatoes, buttery rolls and pies often take center stage. However, its creative uses can elevate it as a standout ingredient in the days that follow. As Thanksgiving cleanup commences and a bowl of leftover sauce remains, there is no need to worry. This underdog simply requires a bit of creativity to shine. Michelle Goth is a professionally trained cook and cookbook author dedicated to celebrating Midwestern cooking traditions.

“We should be doing some very urgent intelligence analysis and take them out of the skies, especially if they’re flying over airports or military bases,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said Thursday, as concerns about the drones spread across Capitol Hill. People in the New York region are also concerned that the drones may be sharing airspace with commercial airlines, he said, demanding more transparency from the Biden administration. The White House said Thursday that a review of the reported sightings shows that many of them are actually manned aircraft being flown lawfully. White House National Security spokesman John Kirby said there were no reported sightings in any restricted airspace. He said the U.S. Coast Guard has not uncovered any foreign involvement from coastal vessels. “We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat, or have a foreign nexus,” Kirby said, echoing statements from the Pentagon and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy. Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh has said they are not U.S. military drones. In a joint statement issued Thursday afternoon, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security said they and their federal partners, in close coordination with the New Jersey State Police, “continue to deploy personnel and technology to investigate this situation and confirm whether the reported drone flights are actually drones or are instead manned aircraft or otherwise inaccurate sightings.” The agencies said they have not corroborated any of the reported sightings with electronic detection, and that reviews of available images appear to show many of the reported drones are actually manned aircraft. “There are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted air space,” according to the statement. The drones appear to avoid detection by traditional methods such as helicopter and radio, according to a state lawmaker briefed Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security. The number of sightings has increased in recent days, though officials say many of the objects seen may have been planes rather than drones. It’s also possible that a single drone has been reported more than once. The worry stems partly from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility, and over President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. In a post on the social media platform X, Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia described the drones as up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) in diameter and sometimes traveling with their lights switched off. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use but are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified. Most, but not all, of the drones spotted in New Jersey appeared to be larger than those typically used by hobbyists. Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey said he was frustrated by the lack of transparency, saying it could help spread fear and misinformation. “We should know what’s going on over our skies,” he said Thursday. John Duesler, president of the Pennsylvania Drone Association, said witnesses may be confused about what they are seeing, especially in the dark, and noted it’s hard to know the size of the drones or how close they might be. “There are certainly big drones, such as agricultural drones, but typically they are not the type you see flying around in urban or suburban spaces,” Duesler said Thursday. Duesler said the drones — and those flying them — likely cannot evade detection. “They will leave a radio frequency footprint, they all leave a signature," he said. "We will find out what kind of drones they were, who was flying them and where they were flying them.” Fantasia, a Morris County Republican, was among several lawmakers who met with state police and Homeland Security officials to discuss the sightings from the New York City area across New Jersey and westward into parts of Pennsylvania, including over Philadelphia. It is unknown at this time whether the sightings are related. Duesler said the public wants to know what's going on. “I hope (the government agencies) will come out with more information about this to ease our fears. But this could just be the acts of rogue drone operators, it’s not an ‘invasion’ as some reports have called it,” Duesler said. “I am concerned about this it but not alarmed by it.” Associated Press reporters Mark Scolforo in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and reporter Darlene Superville and videojournalists Serkan Gurbuz and Nathan Ellgren in Washington, D.C., contributed to this report.
