THE brother of murdered pageant queen JonBenét Ramsey has voiced his frustration about why his young sister's killer was never found. The decades-long cold case of JonBenét has reemerged in the spotlight following the release of a new Netflix docuseries that puts the December 1996 homicide under a new lens nearly 30 years later. Netflix's Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey underscored the botched investigation by the Boulder Police Department and the extensive media coverage surrounding the case. Boulder police were widely criticized for mishandling the investigation from the start. Police failed to properly search the Ramsey family's three-story home upon arriving at the residence and did not treat it as a crime scene, allowing people to drift in and out. Potential evidence from the house was not promptly collected. Investigators reportedly sat on key pieces of evidence and speculated early that parents Patsy and John were involved in their daughter's murder. Patsy and John Ramsey were initially the prime suspects in the case but were ruled out when DNA evidence found under JonBenét's fingernails on her clothing and underwear was linked to an unknown male. John Andrew Ramsey, the half-brother of JonBenét, stressed that part of why his sister's killer has never been found is the lack of resources at the disposal of Boulder police. "I told the Daily Camera last week that Boulder Police are stretched too thin to find JonBenét's killer. They can get help," John Andrew wrote in an X post. John Andrew also reposted an interview from NewsNation 's interview with investigator Michael Kane, who was the special prosecutor on JonBenét's case. Kane highlighted how it's difficult to rule out anyone as possible suspects, including JonBenét's parents, because of their actions to save face after the pageant queen's body was found. The prosecutor also said the rambling two-and-a-half-page ransom note was a fake used as a diversion. "There you go. This is why JonBenét's killer has never been found," John Andrew wrote as he reposted the news interview. "Dare I say lack of imagination. Why the note? Who knows. Fantasy. Control. Superiority. Let's not try and understand but take it at face value. "And Patsy did handwriting samples with the non-dominant hand." The FBI 's field office in Denver issued a statement on Wednesday, saying they're willing to assist in the decade-old case before confirming Boulder police remains the lead investigators. "FBI Denver will continue to coordinate with state and local partners on the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation. Boulder Police remains the lead investigative agency," the federal agency said on X. The unsolved case unfolded in the early morning of December 26, 1996, when mom Patsy Ramsey let out a harrowing scream from the first floor of the family's home in Boulder, Colorado . Patsy had found a two-and-a-half-page handwritten ransom note on a staircase toward the back of the home. The note, addressed to John Ramsey, stated a group of individuals linked to a foreign faction had kidnapped their 6-year-old daughter and demanded $118,000 in exchange for the girl's safe return. "She was just screaming," John, 80, previously told The U.S. Sun. "She'd found this note on the stairway and then went and checked JonBenét's room, and she wasn't there. "I read the note as quickly as I could, and Patsy was standing by the phone, so I told her to call the police." Several hours went by without any word from the supposed kidnappers or any sighting of JonBenét. Eventually, John and a friend decided to search the home for clues, went down to the basement, and opened an unfinished wine cellar. There, he found the body of his daughter with a rope tied tightly around her neck. At the end of the rope was a broken paintbrush that investigators determined came from Patsy's art set. Evidence indicated that JonBenét had been sexually assaulted and tortured. The coroner who performed JonBenét's autopsy determined the little girl died from suffocation in conjunction with forcible trauma to her skull. JonBenét had an 8.5-inch skull fracture and several markings on her neck and hands. In the 27 years since JonBenét's body was found, a suspect has never been arrested, and it remains unclear why someone wrote the ransom note. The new Netflix docuseries aims at bringing JonBenét's true killer to light after decades of theories swirling about the long list of suspects - including a pedophile who confessed to the crime. The docuseries included details about an eerie similar case where a sleeping child was assaulted at her home located streets away from the Ramsey residence in Boulder in September 1997. The suspect, who was never arrested, broke into the home while the girl's mother was sleeping and made his way to the young girl's bedroom when he attempted to attack the child. A series of glaring similarities led both John and the family of the second victim - who is being referred to under the pseudonym "Amy" - to believe the same perpetrator could have carried out both crimes. Before the incident involving his daughter, Amy's father was convinced her attacker targeted the 12-year-old at a local dance studio, Dance West, where JonBenét also took lessons. He then believes his family was stalked over a period of several weeks, with the assailant waiting for the opportune moment to strike: when he was out of town for work. John Ramsey also believes his daughter's killer had been surveilling his family for a significant period before the murder. However, one name stuck out in the Netflix docuseries. John Mark Karr, who fled the US after being charged with child pornography, knew an eerie number of details about JonBenét, her death, and claimed to have committed the murder. Karr has never been charged with the young pageant queen's death because his DNA did not match any DNA found at the Ramsey home. In the past, The U.S. Sun extensively reported how convicted pedophile Gary Oliva also confessed multiple times to killing JonBenét in letters to a high school friend. Oliva was released from prison in January after serving less than eight years of a 10-year sentence for child pornography charges. He was arrested in June 2016 after he was caught uploading images depicting the sexual abuse of children to his personal Gmail account. When police searched his phone, they found over 695 images depicting child pornography. He also possessed 335 photos relating to JonBenét, including her autopsy and images of shrines to her. Since his arrest, Oliva confessed to killing JonBenét multiple times but has never been charged with her death. "I never loved anyone like I did JonBenét, and yet I let her slip, and her head bashed in half, and I watched her die," Oliva wrote in one message to his high school friend, Michael Vail. Since his arrest, Oliva confessed to killing JonBenét multiple times but has never been charged with her death. "I never loved anyone like I did JonBenét, and yet I let her slip, and her head bashed in half, and I watched her die," Olivia wrote in one message to his high school friend, Michael Vail . "It was an accident. Please believe me. She was not like the other kids."

President-elect Donald Trump is Time Magazine’s Person of the Year, and in a lengthy interview with the magazine Trump recalled his furious campaign schedule in the lead-up to the election, which helped him every swing state, including Pennsylvania. This was Trump’s second time being named TIME’s Person of the Year, and comes a little over a month before he will be inaugurated into his second administration, and a month after he won Pennsylvania and the presidency. A lot has changed since he first won the award in 2016 . In the wide-ranging interview, published Thursday, Trump talked about loyalty and praised Elon Musk, one of his strongest campaign surrogates in Pennsylvania. He also weighed in on the bathroom controversy on Capitol Hill as Representative-elect Sarah McBride (D., Del.) prepares to take her seat next month. To celebrate being named Person of the Year, Trump rang the bell at the opening of the New York Stock Exchange Thursday morning. Here’s what to know from the interview: ‘72 Days of Fury’ for Donald Trump to win swing states and the presidency In his journey to winning crucial swing states — including Pennsylvania — and the presidency, Trump told TIME that he called a turbulent sequence of no days off “72 Days of Fury.” But even more important to his path to victory than nonstop work, he said, was that Democrats were out of touch with voters’ priorities. “We said things that were on the minds of the country. I think the Democrats didn’t get it,” Trump said. “They just kept going back to the same old nonsense. And it was nonsense, especially in where we are right now. And we hit—we hit something that was very special. We hit the nerve of the country.” The president-elect also recalled the aftermath of surviving an assassination attempt at his rally in Butler, Pa. in July. Trump said that he tries not to think about that moment, but he said his rally, where he returned to the site of the shooting at the Butler Farm Show grounds in October, was “a very big moment” that made people become more religious. Trump owes his victory in part to his campaign’s messaging on immigration issues, border security, and the economy, Vice President Kamala Harris’ lack of interviews, and his boisterous rallies which he called “one of the big advantages,” he said. But he doesn’t see his win as a “comeback.” “I don’t view it that way. I think I ran a great campaign. I think I was popular. I think I did a very good job the first term ... So I don’t, I don’t view it as a comeback,” he said. “I know it’s considered that. I should allow it to be that, and I will allow it to be that. But, you know, come back from what? I’ve always been here, you know.” Elon Musk: Pa. surrogate, DOGE co-leader and a ‘great guy’ After spending significant time and financial capital campaigning for Trump in Pennsylvania, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and SpaceX CEO, has earned himself a spot in Trump’s inner circle , often perched by his side at big events — even if he is the CEO of Tesla and Trump thinks that electric cars are “not for everyone.” During the Time interview, Trump called Musk a friend and a “great guy” who gave him “the best endorsement you could ever have.” He marveled over the unlikely way that Musk came to be a staunch ally. When Trump got shot in Butler, Pa. the president-elect said, “something happened” to Musk. Shortly after the assassination attempt, Musk endorsed Trump and during an X Spaces conversation in August the billionaire applauded Trump’s “strength under fire.” And it’s that friendship and endorsement that prompted Trump to appoint Musk as the coleader of the “Department of Government Efficiency” alongside tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. The proposed commission, which will operate outside the government, is charged with cutting perceived government waste and spending. Many of the specifics of DOGE remain unclear, but Trump said the country is “bloated with rules, regulations and with, frankly, people that are unnecessary to do.” He said his administration will look to promote private sector jobs and move education oversight to the states. Trump and incoming Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride agree on one thing On the campaign trail, Trump’s ads constantly railed against Vice President Kamala Harris’ support for transgender rights. At rallies, he pledged to ban transgender athletes from participating in their sports. And that topic has now come to Capitol Hill. Last month, U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R, S.C.) introduced a bill that would restrict lawmakers from using single-sex facilities “other than those corresponding to their biological sex,” which was clearly aimed at Sarah McBride, the Delaware Democrat who is the first transgender person elected to Congress. McBride will take office next month. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) announced — on Transgender Day of Remembrance — that transgender individuals are not permitted to use Capitol bathrooms that align with their gender identity. But despite the attacks McBride has opted against engaging in a debate over bathrooms. “I’m not here to fight about bathrooms,” McBride said on Nov. 20. “I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families.” Trump told TIME that he agreed with McBride’s sentiments that there are more important issues at hand than discussing bathrooms. “I do agree with that. On that—absolutely,” Trump said. “As I was saying, it’s a small number of people.” Trump downplays ability to get prices down after campaigning on it Trump undersold his ability to achieve affordable prices in the interview, even after committing to address rising costs — some of which have slowed — on the campaign trail. “Look, they got them up. I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up,” Trump said. “You know, it’s very hard. But I think that they will. I think that energy is going to bring them down. I think a better supply chain is going to bring them down.” Many voters cast their ballots for Trump because they thought he’d be able to address increased costs, but he told TIME that he didn’t believe his presidency would be a failure if he didn’t achieve lowering prices. He didn’t specify how he would fix supply chain issues, but some experts say that Trump’s plans for sweeping new tariffs would add an extra burden to any supply chain problems. And if Trump ends up deporting agricultural workers as part of his plans for mass deportation, it could further put the food supply chain at risk. Asked about this in the interview, Trump said: “No, because we’re going to let people in, but we have to let them in legally.” Trump thinks he will be able to maintain loyalty in second administration Howard Lutnick, Trump’s transition co-chair, his nominee for Commerce secretary, and Haverford College’s largest donor, emphasized in an interview with The Inquirer in October the importance of loyalty in the future Trump administration. Trump told Time that he doesn’t think he will have to ask his appointees to “take a loyalty pledge,” but if officials or public servants don’t follow his orders he would consider firing them. One of Trump’s most loyal picks — and also one of the most controversial — is Kash Patel, the president-elect’s nominee for FBI director. Last week, U.S. Rep. Brendan Boyle (D., Pa) released a statement urging President Joe Biden to issue a blanket pardon of individuals, perceived as Trump’s political enemies, that he believes Patel will target should he be confirmed. “I think I will be able to, for the most part, determine who’s loyal,” Trump said. “I want them to be loyal as to policy, as to the country. It’s gotta be loyal.” ©2024 The Philadelphia Inquirer, LLC. Visit at inquirer.com .

NFL world reacts with excitement, surprise, questions after Bill Belichick is hired to coach UNCThe Paperwhite has been our pick of the for a very long time as it's managed to balance price and features quite well. The 12th generation Paperwhite maintains that same ethos to some degree, gaining a brand-new display that leverages the latest E Ink Carta 1300 screen tech. This not only adds a touch more contrast, which makes the text on the screen darker and thus easier to read, but it also makes page turns a smidge quicker. Honestly, in real-world use, you won't find it all that different from the 11th-generation Kindle Paperwhite, but you will if you have them both side by side and look really carefully. So while I won't say it's a massive upgrade over the , it's definitely worth upgrading if you're using an older Kindle. I also appreciate the couple of millimeters more of display I get on the 2024 Paperwhite, which is now a 7-inch screen compared to the previous 6.8-inch, but again, it's not really significant. What is a little significant is the slight performance boost that Amazon has managed to inject into the 12th-gen Paperwhite. During my testing, I had no issues whatsoever – page turns were near instantaneous, I had absolutely no slowing down even after hours of reading, not a single instance of ghosting and, importantly, the battery life is truly impressive. After three weeks of use, I am yet to charge the Paperwhite for the first time. My biggest issue is the Paperwhite's design: the rear panel is so darn smooth, that I often feel like it's slipping through my fingers. That means I'm trying to grip it tighter, which means my thumbs are extended further over the display and the number of accidental touches I have are a little annoying. Admittedly a case will solve that problem, but that's an additional cost to tack onto what is already an expensive ereader. So while it still builds a case for still being the best Kindle, I think the might represent better value for some users, offering more storage, some resistance to salt water and the option for wireless charging. Amazon's penchant for hiking up the price of its Kindles with each new generation is disappointing. While I'm struggling to justify the cost of the base , I suppose I can get behind the 12th-gen Paperwhite's price hike over its predecessor, but I'm not entirely convinced it represents good value anymore. This is compounded by the fact that, in some markets (like Australia), none of the 2024 Kindles support Audible playback. As I've said above, Amazon keeps increasing the price of its Kindles with each new release and that means at $159.99 / £159.99 / AU$299, the 12th-generation Paperwhite is the most expensive yet and, in my humble opinion, no longer very good value. And that's the price of the ad-supported version in the US and UK (Australia gets only the ad-free model). If you don't want ads on your lock screen, you're shelling out $179.99 / £159.99 in the US and UK respectively. You could argue that this price is fine for a 7-inch ereader with 16GB of storage, but for a little more money – $219.99 / £219.99 / AU$359.95 to be precise – you can get a color ereader with a screen of the same size, double the storage, a more ergonomic design (with page-turn buttons) and, importantly, writing capabilities with the . I suppose I might even be inclined to pay $199.99 / £199.99 / AU$329 for the 2024 Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition for the metallic colors, double the storage and wireless charging, as well as performance just as good as the standard Paperwhite. If you don't want all that, you can save money by opting for the ($129.99 / £119.99 / AU$239.95), which gets you the exact same display, just in 6 inches, and very similar specs as the Paperwhite. Amazon has stopped listing some specs for its ereaders, so I have no idea what CPU the Paperwhite is using or the battery capacity. Hey, Amazon, what exactly has Australia done to not deserve the new colorways of the standard Paperwhite? I'm a little annoyed that I get only the black model Down Under (where I am based) and is the version I was sent for this review. It's not a huge complaint, but I do admit to a little FOMO. Other markets can get the Paperwhite in new Jade and Raspberry options. Nothing else has really changed in terms of design, although the standard Paperwhite is now 7 inches (compared to the 11th generation's 6.8 inches). The body remains plastic which, incidentally, has some recycled materials in it – not as much as Kobo uses, though. The plastic chassis does make the Paperwhite look cheaper than its price tag, but the real issue for me is the rear panel. It's so smooth that I can feel it slip through my fingers (literally) when the bus or train I'm on brakes suddenly. I love how slim it is, but that too exacerbates the lack of grip, making it far from ergonomic. To compensate for its slipperiness, I found myself holding the device with my thumb on the screen itself as the side bezels are still very slim. As nice as that looks, it's not ideal for single-hand use and I kept suffering from accidental page turns from my finger on the screen. It's possible this won't affect all users, but it is an annoyance to me. Given how easy it might be to drop the standard Paperwhite, I'm glad it retains its IPX8 waterproof rating, which means it can stay submerged in 2 meters of water for up to an hour. Just don't drop it in the sea as the salt water will corrode the USB-C port first and, if it seeps in, will start eating away at the motherboard too. The Signature Edition, on the other hand, will survive a quick dunk in the sea. The rounded corners and edges will be familiar to any Kindle user, as will the be power button on the lower edge. This bothers one of my colleagues, but I don't have any issues with it. In fact, I love the little feedback it gives when pressed. Beside the power button, in the center of the bottom edge, is the USB-C port for charging. The only embellishments on the device are the word 'Kindle' on the lower bezel and the Amazon logo on the rear panel. As with most black ereaders and tablets, the 2024 Paperwhite is a smudge magnet, but I suspect the two colorways will also suffer similarly. The black one, in fact, begins to look very scruffy within days of use – even just leaving it on a table, it will pick up dust and the texture of the plastic is such that it's hard to wipe away. If that bothers you like it does me, I think a case becomes a must, and it will add a little extra grip too, but it is an additional cost to bear. The shift to the 7-inch display has allowed Amazon to update the display to the latest E Ink Carta 1300 technology, which adds more contrast to the text on the screen. The resolution remains at 300ppi though, which is standard and plenty for such a device. The screen supports a dark mode, has 16 levels of grayscale and hits a maximum brightness of 94 nits. Compared to the 2024 entry-level Kindle, the Paperwhite has a naturally warmer hue (much like paper) which, when combined with the amber LED lights, can make the display very yellow indeed. It might look odd to someone who's not used an ereader with adjustable light temperatures, but it helps the eyes from getting strained too much. If you're like me, who reads for four to five hours a day (mostly at night), you'll appreciate the yellower screen. The LEDs do a good job of evenly lighting the entire display – I found no shadows or areas of excessive brightness during my testing. One theory I have for why the Kindles became so popular so quickly is their user-friendly interface. They've always been simple devices, with not a lot of extraneous options in Settings, and that ethos is still maintained today. If you're already familiar with a Kindle, you won't find anything new on the 2024 Paperwhite. Even if you've never used a Kindle before, it won't take long to wrap your head around it, with setup being as simple as following the prompts on the screen. Once you've set up your Amazon account and logged in, there are only two tabs to explore – the Home screen and the Library. I personally find the Kindle Home screen unnecessarily cluttered, constantly pushing me into the Kindle Store. If that doesn't bother you, it's a good starting point for finding your next read. However, keep in mind that once you start getting your content from the Kindle Store, you're stuck within Amazon's walled garden. You can sideload books of course, but you will need to jump through some hoops as Amazon no longer allows you to plug in a Kindle to drag-and-drop files via a wired connection. You will need to use the Send To Kindle platform, which allows you to wirelessly add content to your Kindles via cloud sync. The good news is that if you ever change (or upgrade) your Kindle, even your sideloaded titles will remain synced to your Amazon account and you can just tap them individually in the Library app of your new Kindle to download them again. There's no specific tab for Settings, but swipe downwards from the top of the screen and you'll be presented with a few options, including turning on dark mode, cloud sync, flight mode and, of course, accessing all the Settings options. The different Settings are simple and quite literally bare bones, although please note that if you are in Australia or any other region where there's no Audible support on the 2024 Kindles, you won't even see Bluetooth as a connectivity option (which is available in the US and UK). There's decent file support on the Kindle now, although, with MOBI now mostly dead, Amazon has had to relent and allow native EPUB support, which is the format most ebooks come in. As part of the Amazon ecosystem, Goodreads is available on all Kindles and American users will be able to borrow library books too. The latter option is, however, not available anywhere else. Ereaders are such simple devices that there's really no benchmarking to run to determine performance. However, as someone who's tested several of the most recent ebook readers, it's fair to say I can judge by doing a comparison with the competition. The 2024 standard Paperwhite wins in terms of screen responsiveness speed and overall performance over even the Onyx Boox Go series ereaders and the Kobo Clara BW too. The former, incidentally, has a more powerful processor than what Amazon has typically used for its Kindles (although the current CPU has not been revealed) and yet the Paperwhite surpasses the Boox Go 6 (which I have been testing alongside this). Page turns are near instantaneous and not once did I have issues with ghosting (where a very light impression of the previous page remains on screen after a page turn). Reading graphic novels on its an absolute pleasure, especially since the Frame view also opens instantly when you double-tap. Like the entry-level 2024 Kindle, I think the performance boost is purely software-based rather than being a new CPU. It could be both, too, but Amazon isn't revealing what chipset it's using under the hood here. I'm using the massive as the basis of my performance theory here. As with the base 2024 Kindle, the OS on the Paperwhite takes up 4.5GB of the total 16GB storage available on the device – if memory serves, that's 2GB more than on the 11th generation Paperwhite. While I am miffed about the lower available storage on the Paperwhite (which reduces its per-dollar value), I'm glad for whatever boost Amazon has given the tablet. Typing via the on-screen keyboard when setting up my Wi-Fi network or any other touchscreen functionality was seamless and quick. And by 'quick' I mean it's as good as it's ever gotten on an e-paper screen – don't expect the same performance as your phone or multimedia tablet. What's probably the most impressive feat is the 2024 Paperwhite's battery life. I've had it for about three weeks now and I started using it immediately out of the box at 72%. Three weeks later it was just at 45%, and that's with about 2-3 hours of reading and the screen brightness level at 8 (warm light level of 4). Admittedly that's a low brightness setting that won't put too much pressure on the battery, but I only charged the Paperwhite once, just to see how quickly it topped up. At this rate, I could eke out at least 10 weeks of use between charges, more if I don't read as much as I usually do. Amazon claims it will take the 12th-gen Paperwhite under 2.5 hours to go from empty to full when using a 9W power adaptor. That sounds about right to me – plugged into the USB-A port of my 65W charger (which offers up to 22.5W of power) and using a USB-A to C cable, it went from 32% to 50% in about 20 minutes. That might have been a touch faster if I was using a USB-C to C cable, but that was being used on another device at the time of testing. Still, that's not bad numbers at all. Buy it if... Don't buy it if... As soon as I received the 2024 Paperwhite for this review, I logged into my Amazon account, which promptly gave me access to my existing library that was cloud-synced when I sideloaded titles onto an older device. All I had to do was tap on the ebooks I wanted on the Paperwhite (so none of the ones I'd already finished reading) and I was off. Unfortunately, because I'm based in Australia, I have no Audible access on any of the new Kindles, so I cannot comment on how easy it would be to pair Bluetooth headphones, but I hope it's smooth and once paired, you should be able to listen to audiobooks if you have a subscription. I read on the Paperwhite daily for the three-week period I set aside for testing, spending about 2-3 hours each day with it. I used the Paperwhite at various light settings to check how that affected the battery drain.

Thank you, everybody. I'm Joe Moore back again. Very happy to have with us the management team of ON Semi, Hassane El-Khoury, CEO; and Thad Trent, CFO. Question-and-Answer Session Q - Joe Moore So maybe if go off-script breaking news today that you've acquired the Universal Silicon Carbide business from Qorvo. Can you talk a little bit about that? What benefits do you guys see from that? Hassane El-Khoury Sure. So if you think about the strategic rationale, of course, we're a power semiconductor provider, including silicon carbide and wide bandgap, and we've always said that the competitive advantage that we have is the ability to give customers a solution to stay look for their specific needs and or optimized. So how does that -- the acquisition of the silicon carbide JFET business fit into this overall strategy and more appropriately, how does it fit the customer need. With the emergence of AI, the AI trajectory from a power perspective is increasing every generation. And now the AI server going from 40-kilowatt to, call it, hundreds of kilowatts, as that transition happens, you start to need more of wide bandgap technology devices rather than just a silicon from an efficiency perspective, but also from a cost and area. Because a rack doesn't get any different. The size of a rack, the XY and height are almost spec-ed. So therefore, real estate is important. So you need a more compact power solution that is able to provide the efficiency when you deploy at scale. That's what the silicon carbide JFET does for us. It's a smaller die. It's a higher efficiency, higher frequency product than this regular -- even silicon carbide. And with our ability to, over time, bring that in, it gives us that also a competitive advantage fromNone
