NEW YORK (AP) — Zohran Mamdani became mayor of New York City just after midnight Thursday, taking the oath of office at an historic, decommissioned subway station in Manhattan.

Mamdani, a Democrat, was sworn in as the first Muslim leader of America’s biggest city, placing his hand on a Quran as he took his oath.

Another bye bites the dust as defending champ Ohio State falls to Miami in CFP quarterfinals

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ryan Day and his Ohio State coaching staff spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to deal with the long break between the Big Ten championship and the College Football Playoff quarterfinals.

Regardless, another bye bites the dust, and these Buckeyes won't win the school's first back-to-back national championships.

No. 10 Miami held on for a 24-14 victory in the Cotton Bowl quarterfinal Wednesday night, taking a two-touchdown halftime lead and bouncing the third-ranked Buckeyes (12-2, No. 2 CFP seed) a year after Ohio State had to play in... Read More

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A volunteer member of Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard was killed in a western province during widening demonstrations sparked by the Islamic Republic's ailing economy, authorities said Thursday, marking the first fatality among security forces during the protests.

Spurs' Wembanyama doesn't expect to miss time after hyperextending knee in win over Knicks

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Victor Wembanyama says he feels fine and does not expect to miss any time after hyperextending his left knee Wednesday against the New York Knicks.

Now, whether the San Antonio Spurs agree with the center's prognosis remains to be seen. But, all sides are grateful the episode was not anything worse.

“It’s a good thing it was just a hyperextension,” Wembanyama said. "It should be minimal, whatever this thing is.”
