Las carreteras congestionadas y los cielos abarrotados forman parte de las fiestas navideñas tanto como el pavo y la tarta de calabaza.Y mientras los responsables del sector turístico esperan evitar el tipo de colapsos que han empañado las anteriores fiestas de Acción de Gracias, también instan al público a no recurrir a los abusos cuando se enfrentan a los inevitables retrasos de los vuelos.“Si viajas en avión, sea amable con la tripulación. Están ahí por tu seguridad”, dijo en X Mike Whitaker, administrador de la Administración Federal de Aviación. “La FAA tiene tolerancia cero con el comportamiento indisciplinado”.Introducida en 2021, la política de tolerancia cero promete acciones legales, incluido el posible enjuiciamiento penal, contra cualquier pasajero que “agreda, amenace, intimide o interfiera con los miembros de la tripulación de la aerolínea.”Pero la FAA afirma que el personal de las aerolíneas ha informado de un “aumento preocup...

Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi out for months after undergoing groin surgery

NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi will be sidelined for “months,” manager Steve Cooper said Thursday, because of a groin injury that caused him to withdraw from Nigeria’s squad during the international break.Awoniyi, who has scored four goals in 11 appearances this season as Forest’s first-choice striker, has been managing the problem since October.He played for Nigeria in its disappointing 1-1 draw with Lesotho in World Cup qualifying last week but then pulled out of the squad and has since had an operation, which is set to rule him out of the African Cup of Nations starting in mid-January.“He is going to be out for months,” Cooper said of Awoniyi ahead of Forest’s Premier League match against Brighton on Saturday. “We’ll support him and try to get him back as quick and as fit as he can be, but it’s a really unfortunate situation and a blow for him. He’s become an important player for us with the goals he’s scored and the goals he ...

CLEVELAND (AP) — Kyle Lowry made seven 3-pointers and scored a season-high 28 points, and the Miami Heat took advantage of Cleveland playing the second night of a back-to-back, rolling over the sluggish Cavaliers 129-96 on Wednesday.Lowry made his first five 3s and finished 7 of 10 from long range. The Heat were without injured All-Star center Bam Adebayo, but built a 19-point lead in first half and never trailed in winning for the ninth time in 10 games.“With Bam sitting out, I knew it was an opportunity for me to get more shots,” Lowry said. “A good win on the road against a really, really good team.”Miami’s been earning its frequent flyer mileage, as the Heat are playing a league-high 12 of 17 games to start the season outside South Florida.Rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. had his best game as a pro with 22 points, and the Heat tied a franchise record with eight players in double figures — as their reserves played the entire fourth quarter.The Cavs had their winning streak stopped a...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins are having a whirlwind of a week.After a close victory over the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday, the Dolphins’ itinerary included some rest, meetings, watching game video, getting in a little practice time, hopping on a 1,000-mile flight and spending Thanksgiving preparing to face the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Friday.“It is more challenging, only because when you play a game, there’s a science behind the 48-hour time window of practicing or not practicing,” the Dolphins quarterback said of the quick turnaround between games. “It’s a lot of mental reps for all of us.“We’ll probably have one day of field practice to run around and make sure everything is on point and on time. But outside of that, what makes these short weeks tough is that a lot of these things are more mental than physical.”Jets coach Robert Saleh tried to take an optimistic approach to the short week.“It’s better than a Thursday ga...

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — A four-day cease-fire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas will began Friday morning, Qatar said, a day later than originally announced, as negotiators worked out final details of the deal, which is to lead to the release of dozens of hostages held by militants and Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.The diplomatic breakthrough promised some relief for the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza who have endured weeks of Israeli bombardment, as well as families in Israel fearful for the fate of their loved ones taken captive during Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack that triggered the war.The deal appeared to hit a last-minute snag when Israel’s national security adviser, Tzachi Hanegbi, announced a one-day delay late Wednesday, without providing a reason. The cease-fire was originally set to begin Thursday morning.On Thursday, Majed al-Ansari, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of Qatar, which played a key role in mediating with Hamas, announced the cease-fire will start at...
