Fathers And Mothers Who Care Hosts 12Th Annual Toy Giveaway In Collaboration With Vermont Galaxy And Mindful MedicineSwinging golf clubs at Top Golf before the big football game is a must for Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech players on Christmas Eve. This is a time for them to bond with one another before the Birmingham Bowl. Both coaches say this downtime in the Magic City also allows them to reflect on a successful season off the field. "I couldn't be more proud to sit up here and say that these guys at Georgia Tech just finished with a 3.0 GPA as a team for the entire semester, but it's the highest in-season GPA in the history of our football program,” Brent Key, Georgia Tech head coach, said. “I'm proud of this team, the genuine connection that they have, and I'm talking about the players. The coaches are a part of it, too. It's fun for us coaches to be a part of a team that cares about one another,” Clark Lea, Vanderbilt head coach, said. For Vanderbilt safety Marlen Sewell, playing against Georgia Tech in Protective Stadium is exciting. The former Shades Valley High School athlete will have loved ones cheering him on. “My old high school teammates, family, friends from other states, so I'm going to have a big crowd out there,” Marlen Sewell, safety for Vanderbilt, said. Georgia Tech players say they have a large senior class this year. Time spent like this off the field makes spending the holidays away from home alright. “Outside of football, obviously, you know, kind of trying to hang out as a team, you know, chop it up, see where guys heads are and things like that. you know, golfing will be a great opportunity for us to compete,” LaMiles Brooks, defensive back for Georgia Tech, said.

SSI will change completely on January 1: Here is the list of changes that will affect beneficiariesThe Christmas period is not just a great time for stuffing your gob with Celebrations and trying to avoid getting sucked up in your dad’s rubbish bag, but also for playing games. As you wait for the Doctor Who Christmas Special or the release of the new Wallace and Gromit flick away from your treasured gaming hardware, you may want to try your hand at some cloud gaming, specifically NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW Ultimate. We’ve written before about how GeForce NOW and similar streaming services are becoming more important for devices such as the Steam Deck as AAA games become more intensive. Whether you’re on your phone with some handy-dandy controller doohickey, the aforementioned Steam handheld or even on your aging Xbox One console, GeForce NOW Ultimate offers a wealth of games to play, maxed out on an RTX 4080 with the entire roster of RTX technologies: DLSS 3, NVIDIA Reflex, with full Path Tracing and all the associated goodies. Unlike a puppy, GeForce NOW can be just for Christmas, with day passes available for gaming in a pinch. Without further ado, here are the best Nvidia GeForce NOW games to play over the Christmas break. 1) Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Obviously the cream of the crop, the winner of the VideoGamer 2024 Game Awards is a must-play game on GeForce NOW. While you can play the game via streaming on Xbox’s xCloud or Game Pass Cloud or whatever they’re calling it now, you’ll only be streaming the console version of the game. With GeForce NOW Ultimate, you can stream the PC version of the game with all the bells and whistles, in glorious 4K resolution. As a game with full Ray Tracing support multitudes better than the Series X’s still-gorgeous lighting, you can experience the best game of 2024 with the ultimate visuals available without a massive desktop taking up leg room as you play. As someone who shares a living room, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle has been a great experience via GeForce NOW Ultimate for when my partner takes over the TV for an entire day of Infinity Nikki . While she’s wishing upon a star, getting fashions from afar, I can simply chill out with my Steam Deck and continue thwacking Nazis with shovels in Gizeh. 2) Alan Wake 2 While over a year old now, Alan Wake 2 is another example of a brilliant game to play through GeForce NOW, and one I completed in its entirety through the service. Another game that looks great on console, but game-changingly better on PC , GeForce NOW Ultimate allows you to stream the entire game with full RTX Path Tracing—shadows, reflections, lighting, the entire thing—onto a device of your choosing. Outside of the recency bias of Indiana Jones, Alan Wake 2 is one of the best use cases for GeForce NOW Ultimate. If your PC buckles at the sight of full Path Tracing or if you just want to experience the pinnacle of NVIDIA hardware without buying thousands of pounds worth of hardware, Alan Wake 2 streamed on GeForce NOW Ultimate is one hell of a time. 3) Cyberpunk 2077 Another game with full RTX support, Cyberpunk 2077 runs and looks phenomenal via GeForce NOW Ultimate. This is another title that technically runs on older and more budget-friendly hardware, however players won’t get anywhere near as much from the game, and its first-person view means that an unstable framerate can cause some serious motion sickness. However, GeForce NOW Ultimate’s performance is, well, flawless. With DLSS Frame Generation and NVIDIA Reflex working tirelessly on the aforementioned RTX 4080 rig, even with full Path Tracing turned on, the game runs like a dream over cloud streaming, allowing you to explore Night City with some of the best visuals in the business. Now you can enjoy immaculate views of the obscenities that make this world the most immersive dystopia in gaming. For those looking to get the most bang for their buck with GeForce NOW Ultimate, is there anything better than a massive RPG that pushes even the most powerful PCs to their limits? I thought not. 4) Black Myth: Wukong An awesome hack-and-slash adventure from Chinese developer Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong is another game that slightly suffers on console but sings on PC. Renowned for its incredible graphics, cinema-esque 3D scenes, and being uber-demanding on hardware, Black Myth: Wukong isn’t one to play on your Nan’s 10 year old laptop. Well, that was until now! Wukong’s heavier, Souls-lite style of hack-and-slash combat is perfect for NVIDIA’s cloud streaming service, and the ability to crank the stunning visuals up to 4K resolution makes it a dream to play. It also helps that the game’s performance doesn’t skip a beat when supported by DLSS 3 and Reflex, running on NVIDIA’s latest RTX-powered hardware in the cloud. 5) Party Animals As much as I would happily spend the entire holiday locked into my favourite solo titles, Christmas is, after all, a time of year to spend with family and friends. That calls for the next best thing – get everyone involved in a hilarious couch co-op game! Party Animals is just that. This realistic physics-based party brawler sees up to 4 players take control of floppy animal characters to battle it out in suitably silly maps and modes, with crazy weapons and power ups to shake up the paw-to-paw combat. Join up with another player in ‘Team Score’ mode, or maybe jump into an every-animal-for-itself game of ‘Last Stand’ for the ultimate family bragging rights over Christmas Dinner. With GeForce NOW, you don’t even have to bring your personal PC or console home with you – just log in and play on any of your parents’ smart devices. One thing’s for sure: streaming Party Animals is sure to spice up your cozy Christmas evenings. Subscribe to GeForce NOW Ultimate in 2024 to get unlimited playtime for the entirety of 2025!

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Kobe Sanders scored 27 points, including five of six from the free throw line in the closing minutes, and Nevada pulled away late to beat Oklahoma State 90-78 for a fifth-place finish at the Charleston Classic on Sunday. Nevada's lone loss in its first six games came in the tournament's opening round when the Wolf Pack fell to Vanderbilt 73-71. The Cowboys never led in the contest and Nevada grabbed the lead for good on Justin McBride's tip-in with under 13 minutes left to take a 14-12 lead. Tre Coleman hit two free throws and Chuck Bailey II hit a late jumper to put Nevada up 40-33 at intermission. Abou Ousmane's tip-in at the 5:21 mark got the Cowboys within five, 75-70 but Brandon Love answered with a three-point play seconds later and the Wolf Pack pulled away. Tyler Rolison's 3 with 1:38 left pushed the lead to 84-73. Sanders hit 7 of 10 shots from the field, including 3 of 5 from distance, and was 10 of 13 from the line with three assists and a steal to lead Nevada. Nick Davidson had 23 points on 9 of 16 shooting and Love was a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor and contributed 11 points. The Wolf Pack shot 33 of 56 from the field (58.9%), including 7 of 18 from beyond the arc. Marchelus Avery and Arturo Dean both came off the Oklahoma State bench to score 15 and 13 points, respectively. Robert Jennings II and Ousmane each scored 11 points. Both teams completed the November portion of their schedule. Nevada plays host to Washington State on Dec. 2. Oklahoma State plays at Tulsa on Dec. 4.

Keanu Reeves might be ready to suit up for John Wick 5 , but there's just one little problem: his knees. The actor, who has brought the iconic hitman to life since 2014, recently opened up about the possibility of returning for a fifth instalment of the action-packed franchise. ET Year-end Special Reads What kept India's stock market investors on toes in 2024? India's car race: How far EVs went in 2024 Investing in 2025: Six wealth management trends to watch out for In an interview with CBS News, Reeves admitted that while his heart is all in, his knees are not so enthusiastic about the idea. "You can never say never," he said, "but my knees right now are saying, 'You can't do another 'John Wick.' So my heart does (want to), but I don't know if my knees can do it." Since the release of the fourth film in 2023, fans have been eagerly awaiting news on a potential fifth movie, especially after Lionsgate teased its development last year. However, an official announcement is still pending. While Reeves may be uncertain about returning to the franchise, he's not entirely stepping away from the John Wick universe. The actor is set to make a cameo in the upcoming Ballerina , a spinoff starring Ana de Armas . But that’s not all—Keanu will also lend his voice to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 , where he’ll portray the mysterious and menacing Shadow the Hedgehog. It seems Reeves' action-packed days are far from over, even if his knees might need a little rest.

'It's Miserable': Steelers Great Ben Roethlisberger Blasts NFL for Christmas Games, Making Teams Play 3 Times in 11 Days

Ross Lyon would have been disappointed again with the Saints’ effort in 2024, winning less than 50 per cent of their games and finishing 12th on the ladder after finishing sixth in 2023. A small turnover in personnel with the sacking of two players and the defection of one was compensated by the recruitment of one player, so Lyon will have to look for improvement in his ranks as he moves to within 25 games of the unwanted record of having coached the most AFL/VFL games without achieving the ultimate goal of winning a premiership. More AFL Top 100 Game Players Lost: 3. Sebastian Ross (No.24) was delisted 13 games into the season despite having given the Saints 13 years of good service and having won the club’s Best and Fairest on two occasions. Ross, 31, wanted to continue his career elsewhere but was not picked up by any other AFL club. Tim Membrey (No.39) was not offered a new contract and moved on to Collingwood. Josh Battle (equal No.97) made the Top 100 list near the end of the season. He requested a trade to Hawthorn. Top 100 Players recruited from other clubs: 1 Jack Macrae (No.13 – Western Bulldogs) was the most senior current game player at the Bulldogs with a total of 249 games. Current Top 100 Game Players: 5 Jack Sinclair (No.35) is now the most senior current player at the Saints, with teammates Jimmy Webster (equal No.46), Jack Steele (No.48), Rowan Marshall (equal No.80) and Callum Wilkie (No.82) who has not missed a game of football since arriving at the Saints in 2019. Jack Steele. (Photo by Mark Brake/Getty Images) Potential New Top 100 Players in 2025: 1 Only one player, journeyman Bradley Hill, is a candidate for elevation to the Saints’ Top 100 game players in 2025. Players who no longer qualify as Top 100 Game Players: 3 A stunning list of three champion players from the club that boasts more players than any other in the AFL/VFL. Steven Sziller was recruited from Woodville-West Torrens in the SAFNL where – in his short career- he had been a member of the club’s inaugural premiership, was best on ground in the Grand Final and in the following year won the Best and Fairest! He played for the Saints from 1995 until 2000 when he was delisted but had two successful years at Richmond under the coaching of former teammate Danny Frawley. There is no greater legend at the Saints than their 1966 premiership captain Darryl “Doc” Baldock. Baldock started at the Saints in 1962 and over the next seven years achieved almost everything in football: captained a premiership team, won three best and fairest, four leading goal-kicking awards and finished second in the Brownlow Medal on two occasions. Russell Greene, in one of the most bizarre trades ever, was swapped to Hawthorn midway through the 1980 season and went on to play in three premierships at Hawthorn and won the Best and Fairest in 1984. He played in total 304 AFL games and lies in 85th place on the AFL all-time game players list. He also appears on both Hawthorn’s games played and goals scored lists in 45th (games) and 75th (goals). Top 100 Goal Scorers Lost: 1. Tim Membrey who was a Top 10 all-time goal scorer at the Saints is no longer there. Top 100 Goal Scorers recruited from other clubs: 0 Current Top 100 Goal Scorers: 4 Max King (No.25) is now the current leading goal scorer at St Kilda, and they have two other centurions in their ranks: Jack Higgin (No.37) and Dan Butler (No.49) plus the up-and-coming Rowan Marshall (No.96). Potential Top 100 Goal Scorers in 2025: 2 It is possible that both Jack Sinclair and Jack Steele could join the list of elite goal scorers at the club.

New Hampshire’s Governor Thinks Elon Musk Is Too Rich for Conflicts of Interest

A grand cleanliness drive in the Mahakumbh Mela area is set to begin on Monday. Minister of urban development and energy, AK Sharma, will participate in the initiative, starting at 7:30 am, covering the stretch from the Nagavasuki Temple to Dashashwamedh Ghat. Highlighting the cultural significance of Prayagraj as the “Teerthraj” (king of pilgrimage), Sharma emphasised the importance of making the Kumbh Mela grand, divine, clean, and beautiful. The minister appealed to the public to take part in the collective cleanliness campaign, or “Mahayagya,” urging everyone to clean their surrounding areas. This collective effort will ensure that the upcoming Kumbh Mela is not only a spiritual journey but also a demonstration of India’s commitment to cleanliness and sustainability. The Mahakumbh will officially commence on January 13, 2025. Efforts are underway to ensure a clean and litter-free environment for visitors. Additionally, Prayagraj’s infrastructure is being upgraded to meet global urban standards using modern technologies, ensuring a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing experience for all.Hollywood is mourning one of their own. Olivia Hussey Eisley, star of the 1968 film Romeo and Juliet, has died. She was 73. “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Olivia Hussey Eisley, who went peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones on December 27th,” read a post shared on the actress’ Instagram page. “Olivia was a remarkable person whose warmth, wisdom, and pure kindness touched the lives of all who knew her.” The message continued, “Olivia lived a life full of passion, love, and dedication to the arts, spirituality, and kindness towards animals. Olivia leaves behind a loving family- her children, Alex, Max, and India, her husband of 35 years David Glen Eisley, and grandson, Greyson, and a legacy of love that will forever be cherished in our hearts.” Olivia was born in 1951 in Buenos Aires, Argentina to an Argentine dad, tango singer Andrés Osuna, and British mom, Joy Hussey. The actress spent most of her childhood in her mom’s native England and began her acting career as a teenager, appearing in plays before making her onscreen debut on the TV show Drama 61-67. At age 15, she landed her big break playing Juliet in Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 film adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The movie won two Oscars and both Olivia and Leonard Whiting won Golden Globes for their leading performances. In 2022, she and the fellow British actor sued the movie’s production company, Paramount Studios, alleging they were filmed in the nude for the film without their knowledge while they were minors. A Los Angeles judge dismissed the case in 2023, ruling that found their depiction could not be considered child pornography and that the pair filed their claim too late, NBC News reported. In addition to Romeo and Juliet, Olivia is known for her role in the 1974 holiday slasher film Black Christmas. She also played Mary in the 1977 miniseries Jesus of Nazareth and starred in the 1979 movie Death on the Nile and the 1990 miniseries It, based on Stephen King’s hit novel. In 1997, Olivia guest starred on Boy Meets World as Topanga’s Aunt Prudence. Throughout the ’90s and aughts, the actress completed a lot of voiceover work on shows such as Batman Beyond and Star Wars: The Old Republic. Olivia’s last role was in the 2015 film Social Suicide. In the film, which is inspired by Romeo and Juliet, she and Leonard play the parents of a character portrayed by her real-life daughter India.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk reciprocated Sen. John Fetterman 's (D-PA) recent bipartisan rhetoric with friendly words about the Democratic lawmaker Friday. Although they backed different candidates during the 2024 elections, Musk said it was “hard not to like” Fetterman in a social media post over the weekend. “He puts country over party,” Musk added in an X post . His words came in response to a cordial video of Fetterman saying he would work with Musk to reduce government spending and waste through the incoming Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency. President-elect Donald Trump appointed Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the department after he won a second term earlier this month. “I admire Mr. Musk,” Fetterman said Thursday in comments that noted he had played an “important” role in American society through artificial intelligence and SpaceX , among other things. “Yes, he's on a different team,” Fetterman conceded, alluding to the fact that Musk became one of Trump’s most powerful allies during his campaign against Vice President Kamala Harris, whom the senator backed. “But that doesn't make me an enemy,” Fetterman continued. “I’m not gonna automatically going to become a critic. It's like, hey, he has made it, you know, he's made our economy and our nation better and our politics are different, and I don't agree with some of the things that he might say, but that doesn't make him like I said, an enemy.” Fetterman’s words follow remarks he made to Semafor , in which he called Musk “incredibly compelling to a demographic in my state.” His comments came as he reflected on the vigorous campaigning Musk did on behalf of Trump in Pennsylvania, a battleground widely considered essential to secure in order to win the election. In the final weeks of the election, Musk held a series of town halls in Fetterman’s home state. Pennsylvania was also one of the swing states where Musk awarded a million dollars to one voter each day until Election Day if they signed a petition backing the Constitution. After Trump pulled off a clean win in Pennsylvania, Fetterman credited his victory in part to the “Elon Musk factor.” “He’s like Tony Stark. I thought it was just dumb to attack him or imply that he might be breaking the law with his $1 million checks, because, to me, that just projects weakness. And I promise you: Musk doesn’t give a s**t,” he said. It isn’t atypical for Fetterman to offer an olive branch to the other side of the aisle. On Thursday, he called on President Joe Biden to pardon Trump of all the federal crimes he has been accused of. His rhetoric on Israel and immigration also often sounds more in tune with Republicans than with some of the more progressive factions in his own party. Although Fetterman supported Harris during her bid for the White House, he often played a cautionary role in her campaign, warning that she faced falling support from union workers and deep competition from Trump in reaching the working class. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER Fetterman isn’t the first Democrat to signal a willingness to work with Musk and Ramaswamy’s DOGE to slash wasteful government spending. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) became the first Democrat to join the House DOGE Caucus earlier this month. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) has also signaled that he will work with DOGE, while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who caucuses with Democrats, has emerged as another surprise supporter.

The New York Mets roster will look very different in 2025. The biggest change will be in the outfield. The Mets added Juan Soto and Jose Siri this offseason. Their moves all but guarantee the departure of one of their outfielders. FanSided's Zachary Rotman predicted that the Mets would cut ties with Harrison Bader this offseason. He is a free agent and signed a one-year, $10.5 million deal with the Mets in the offseason. "With how the season ended, it felt unlikely that Bader would be back. The team acquiring Jose Siri, a younger version of Bader with more power, essentially confirmed what most had already expected," wrote Rotman. "Bader should find a landing spot sometime soon, given the fact that he's the best center fielder in an astonishingly weak free agency class, but with both Taylor and Siri under club control, Bader won't be back with the Mets." Tyrone Taylor brought great defense to the Mets in 2024. He should see an even bigger role with Bader gone. Bader started 108 games last season and started losing opportunities to Taylor late in the season. He slashed .167/.230/.283 in the second half. He hit just four home runs in that span as well. He started just two postseason games. The Mets have already invested a great deal into their outfield this offseason. The 15-year, $765 million deal they gave Soto is the largest deal in Major League Baseball history. That paired with the acquisition of Siri means the Mets no longer have a need for Bader on their roster.

In the immediate aftermath of Glasgow Warriors’ stunning triumph over the Bulls in the United Rugby Championship final in South Africa, Franco Smith was quick to stress it was the beginning rather than the end of his squad’s achievements. “This team shouldn’t be done after tonight,” said the head coach. “We’ve got the building blocks to go further still.” Smith has proved adept at smashing the glass ceiling which has limited Scottish rugby ambitions and the next target is success in Europe. Glasgow open their Investec Champions Cup campaign against Sale Sharks on Scotstoun on Saturday night, the first step on a mission to achieve what no previous Scottish rugby club has, namely lifting a European trophy. Smith himself took Glasgow to the Challenge Cup final in 2023, his first season in charge, but they were second best against Toulon in Dublin. This year they are back in the top tier and will meet the French side again next week in their second group game but it’s Sale first and Alex Sanderson’s side travel north off the back of an impressive home win over Leicester Tigers. Racing 92 and Harlequins also await in Pool 3 and Smith is relishing the opportunity to pit his wits against the best of England and France - but he was reluctant to make bold predictions. When it was put to him that Glasgow are considered to be dark horses in this year’s competition, the coach gave a considered answer. “Well, I don’t want the expectation to influence what we try to do here,” he said. “So, yes, the squad needs to kick on in every game that we play. The quality of the players and the way they've developed and the way that they work at their game and the influence that the internationals have is important and we need to continue evolving and continue growing and continue adding value to the squad in various ways. “And the Champions Cup obviously is a massive, good competition to play in as well as the URC, but there's something special about playing the French and the Premiership sides.” Glasgow came unstuck in the round of 16 last season, losing a thriller to Harlequins at the Stoop. Interestingly, Smith cites that match as the spur that drove them on to URC glory. “We fell last year against the Harlequins in the 78th minute,” he said. “We were still leading and there was a little bit more in us to get across the line. So, yes, I think that hurt inspired us actually in the URC to complete that season properly. “So, definitely one of the objectives is to perform as best as we can in this competition.” Glasgow’s stunning success in Pretoria was rightly recognised this week. It was voted ‘Sporting Moment of the Year’ at the Scottish Sports Awards, beating the impressive Bob McIntyre’s Scottish Open win to the prize. Smith was also rewarded, winning ‘Coach of the Year’ at the Glasgow’s Sport Awards. It was hot and humid as the Warriors fought back to beat the Bulls at altitude, in stark contrast to the conditions Sale can expect at Scotstoun. Nevertheless, Smith believes Glasgow can take inspiration from the way they handled adversity both in the final and in the semi, against Munster in Limerick. “Without that we would have been weaker, I'll put it that way,” he said. “So it is an important ingredient and it is important that we can refer back to games like that. “But Sale will pose a different challenge. It's at home, it's eight o'clock on a Saturday night, the temperature is definitely different. We're in a different part of the season. So, no, we'll take a lot of experience from those league games that we've played and I am sure that we will be a better team again after this one.” Glasgow shook off the rust of the international break with a patchy win over the Scarlets last week. Smith has brought the big guns back to face Sale which means a return for Huw Jones and Sione Tuipulotu in the centre as Tom Jordan moves to stand-off. Up front, there are six personnel changes, with Jamie Bhatti, Gregor Hiddleston, Zander Fagerson, Scott Cummings, Matt Fagerson and Rory Darge all selected. Jare Oguntibeju retains his place in the second row after impressing on his debut against the Scarlets and Smith wants the former Scotland Under-20 forward to back it up. Oguntibeju, 22, only took up rugby seriously at 17 after playing football at school in Edinburgh. He has had to overcome adversity in the shape of serious injuries but the South African-born lock has worked hard with Glasgow’s strength and conditioning team to get into the sort of shape required to play at the elite level. “The S&C has done a great job on him,” said Smith. “And I'm happy to see that, from a rugby perspective, he's also growing. He's a later arrival to the game, but he's learned, he's intelligent and he's trying to step up every day.” Smith has a track record of bringing through young players and the hope is that Oguntibeju can follow in the footsteps of Max Williamson, Alex Samuel , Euan Ferrie and Gregor Brown. It also helps plug the gap in the second row caused by Richie Gray’s mid-season departure to Japan. Smith had hoped to sign an experienced replacement for Gray but was thwarted in his bid to land his top target, believed to be the Scarlets’ Alex Craig. Williamson, Brown, Ferrie and JP du Preez are all out injured but they should return in the next month or so. Smith also reported good news on the fitness of Ollie Smith and Kyle Steyn who are close to a return. “Ollie is looking good,” said the coach. “He's been training with us the last three weeks.” Steyn, the club captain, is also progressing well and should be back before Christmas. The news on Adam Hastings was less good. The stand-off has had an operation after fracturing his jaw against Scarlets and will be out for eight to 12 weeks, according to Smith. The coach also confirmed he would like to hang on to full-back Josh McKay who is out of contract at the end of the season. The teams Glasgow Warriors: 15. Josh McKay; 14. Seb Cancelliere, 13.
