Time Magazine named Taylor Swift as its person of Time Magazine named Taylor Swift as its person of the year on Wednesday, just a week after Spotify announced her as the most-played artist on their platform.

Swift was chosen from a pool of nine finalists, including Barbie, King Charles III, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Time described her selection by stating, "While her popularity has spanned decades, this year, at the age of 33, Swift achieved a unique fusion: blending art and commerce to unleash a historically powerful energy."

Her outstanding year featured the highly successful Eras Tour and concert movie, the release of her reimagined '1989' album, and her closely followed relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift has even become the focus of college courses.

Sam Jacobs, the magazine's editor in chief, remarked on NBC's "Today" program, "Choosing one person to represent the eight billion people on the planet is no easy task. We selected someone who embodies joy, someone bringing light to the world. She was like weather, she was everywhere."

Expressing her feelings about the recognition, Swift told TIME, "This is the proudest and happiest I've ever felt, and the most creatively fulfilled and free I've ever been." She added, "Ultimately, we can convolute it all we want, or try to overcomplicate it, but there's only one question ... Are you not entertained?"

Judge Frank Caprio announced that he is battling p Judge Frank Caprio announced that he is battling pancreatic cancer in an emotional video released Wednesday morning. 

In the video, Caprio, 87, said that recently he hadn’t been feeling well, and following a medical examination, he received the diagnosis.

“I know this is a long road and I’m fully prepared to fight as hard as I can,” he said.
Caprio asked people to pray for him.

“People ask me what can I do for you? First of all, I can’t thank all of your for your friendship and kind messages. But I would ask that each of you in your own way to please pray for me. I am in need of the power of prayer, which I believe in addition to the medical treatment I am receiving is the most powerful weapon to help me survive this,” Caprio said.

“Just knowing that you are keeping me in your thoughts means the world to me,” Caprio said. “Thank you for all your past messages. Thank you for your loving support. And please remember, just a small prayer. I really appreciate it.”

Caprio said he is being treated by teams of doctors in Rhode Island and Boston.

Caprio, renowned for his television series “Caught in Providence,” presided on the bench for nearly four decades before retiring earlier this year.

The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Tahoma (WMEC 908) and The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Tahoma (WMEC 908) and crew returned to their homeport in Newport on Tuesday after a 65-day patrol in the Florida Straits.

Tahoma deployed in support of Homeland Security Task Force – Southeast and Operation Vigilant Sentry within the Coast Guard Seventh District’s area of responsibility. During the patrol, Tahoma’s crew conducted maritime safety and security missions while working with other Coast Guard cutters to detect, deter, and intercept unsafe and illegal maritime migration ventures bound for the United States.

During the patrol, Tahoma contributed to the care and repatriation of 82 migrants. Tahoma interdicted six vessels bound for the United States. Tahoma also responded to a search and rescue case, assisting a Cuban mariner who had become lost at sea.

Tahoma is a 270-foot, Famous-class medium endurance cutter. The cutter’s primary missions are counter-drug operations, migrant interdiction, enforcement of federal fishery laws, and search and rescue in support of U.S. Coast Guard operations throughout the Western Hemisphere.
