FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Cologne police acting on indications of a possible attack searched Germany’s landmark cathedral with sniffer dogs Saturday and said worshippers attending Christmas Eve Mass would undergo security screening before being allowed in.In Austria, police in Vienna also said they were taking heightened security measures around churches and Christmas markets, deploying both uniformed and plainclothes officers. Neither police agency specified the threat, but the German news agency dpa said authorities were responding to signs of a possible attack by Islamic extremists, without citing a specific source.

Nexstar will livestream the NORAD Santa Tracker in the video player above from 6 a.m. ET on Saturday until 1 a.m. ET on Sunday.(NEXSTAR) — The stockings have been hung by the chimney with care, which can only mean that St. Nicholas will soon arrive with his sleigh full of toys. Unlike Christmases of yore, we can track Santa and his reindeer as they come into town. As it has for over six decades, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) — a joint organization between the U.S. and Canada, is responsible for tracking everything flying in and around the two countries — will be tracking Santa this Christmas. The tradition began as an accident in 1955 but has remained a beloved mission ever since. NORAD doesn’t start tracking Santa until their radars let them know Santa has taken to the air on Christmas Eve, roughly around 4 a.m. ET. You can track Santa’s movements around the world on NORAD’s website. This winter’s El Niño could be one of...

Wild coach John Hynes on when to fight: ‘Sometimes it’s (about) time and score’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:04:11 GMT

To fight, or not to fight. That is a question facing most, if not all, NHL hockey players at one time or another. Because it’s often not so clear cut.Marco Rossi, for instance, reduced the Wild’s cache of available forwards to 10 for a full 17 minutes on Thursday after picking a fight with Montreal’s Kaiden Guhle — who had just postered Kirill Kaprizov with a hard check into the boards — in the second period of Minnesota’s 4-3 overtime victory at Xcel Energy Center.It was a tough row to hoe for the Wild as they tried to hold off the hard-charging Canadiens, who tied early in the third period on a power play stemming from a double roughing minor on defenseman Zach Bogosian. On the other hand, Rossi’s actions went a long way with his teammates.“Just to show a guy’s willing to do that and stick up for your teammates, that’s how you build a great winning culture,” Bogosian said after the game.Head coach John Hynes, perhaps simply because Minnesota won the game, straddled the fence on Ro...
