Early signing day is just a couple of weeks away, meaning the sharks are circling in college football recruiting. Programs across the country are making final surges at recruits committed elsewhere while also fighting off programs doing the same to them. While the Texas Longhorns are among the programs on the prowl to flip some key recruits, they also happen to have a slew of recruits that programs are eyeing, one of which is five-star receiver Jaime Ffrench. The Jacksonville, Florida product is another example of Texas' now-flourishing Sunshine State pipeline, but that doesn't mean programs in the state aren't trying to keep him home. Following the announcement that head coach Billy Napier is returning to Gainsville next season, the Gators have been pushing hard for Ffrench, among others. He took a trip to Gainesville last weekend to watch the Gators take down LSU, which may have concerned some. However, he took to social media on Thursday to announce he'd be taking another trip to Texas for the team's Week 13 game against Kentucky I’ll be back at the CRIB tomorrow 🤘🏾! pic.twitter.com/q35bHCjSY7 While most may not consider a committed player taking a trip to the program where he is already pledged, it certainly doesn't hurt Texas to help ensure that everything is going smoothly. Like last season, the Longhorns are likely to lose a chunk of their receiving corps with players like Matthew Golden and Isaiah Bond expected to leave for the NFL. If the Longhorns can keep Ffrench in the fold along with the two other elite receivers in the class, Kaliq Lockett and Daylan McCutcheon, the Texas offense will be in great shape.

Drones, planes or UFOs? Americans abuzz over mysterious New Jersey sightingsSAINT PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Mariah Keopple and Alexandra Labelle scored their first goals of the season and the Montreal Victoire edged the Minnesota Frost 3-2 on Saturday. Marie-Philip Poulin's goal almost six minutes into the second period was the difference as she converted a 2-on-1 from Laura Stacey and Jennifer Gardiner and Montreal (2-2-0-1), which went 0 for 3 on the power play, won its third straight while handing Minnesota (3-1-1-1) its first regulation loss of the season. Despite having the better control of the action from the start Montreal fell behind 1-0 near the middle of the first period when Claire Thompson and Taylor Heise set up Britta Curl-Salemme for her third goal of the season. But in the last five minutes of the period Keopple scored on a pass from Claire Dalton, and Labelle banged in a rebound of her initial shot. Minnesota pulled into a tie at just 3:17 into the second period when Brooke McQuigge picked up her first goal during a scramble in front of the Montreal goal. Barely 2 1/2 minutes later the Victoire were back on top on Poulin's second goal of the season and Ann-Renee Desbiens, who made 22 saves, made that stand up. Maddie Rooney made 22 saves for Minnesota, which went 0-1 on the power play. Boston plays at Montreal on Monday. The Frost are home against Boston on Thursday. ___ AP women’s hockey: https://apnews.com/hub/womens-hockey The Associated Press

Global electricity use could rise as much as 75% by 2050, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, with the tech industry's AI ambitions driving much of the surge. Data centers powering AI and cloud computing could soon grow so large that they could use more electricity than entire cities. As leaders in the AI race push for further technological advancements and deployment, many are finding their energy needs increasingly at odds with their sustainability goals. "A new data center that needs the same amount of electricity as say, Chicago, cannot just build its way out of the problem unless they understand their power needs," said Mark Nelson, managing director of Radiant Energy Group. "Those power needs. Steady, straight through, 100% power, 24 hours a day, 365," he added. After years of focusing on renewables, major tech companies are now turning to nuclear power for its ability to provide massive energy in a more efficient and sustainable fashion. Google , Amazon , Microsoft and Meta are among the most recognizable names exploring or investing in nuclear power projects. Driven by the energy demands of their data centers and AI models, their announcements mark the beginning of an industrywide trend. "What we're seeing is nuclear power has a lot of benefits," said Michael Terrell, senior director of energy and climate at Google. "It's a carbon-free source of electricity. It's a source of electricity that can be always on and run all the time. And it provides tremendous economic impact." After nuclear was largely written off in the past due to widespread fears about meltdowns and safety risks — and misinformation that dramatized those concerns — experts are touting tech's recent investments as the start of a "nuclear revival " that could accelerate an energy transformation in the U.S. and around the world. Watch the video above to learn why Big Tech is investing in nuclear power, the opposition they face and when their nuclear ambitions could actually become a reality.The 2025 CES in the United States is about to unveil a brand-new chapter in the future intelligent home gardening LAS VEGAS , Dec. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- UBHOME, a sub-brand of UBTECH Robotics, announced an intelligent service robot in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Dexter: Original Sin will take audiences back in time to find out how the man became the monster — er, the monster-slayer — in the Showtime thriller. The prequel series, which premieres on Paramount+ with Showtime on Friday, December 13, takes place 15 years before we first met Dexter (then played by Michael C. Hall , who still narrates the new series) in the original Dexter . Taking over the title role in this iteration is Patrick Gibson , who has the character’s steely-eyed stares and smug sauntering style down to a science. With new characters being introduced in some familiar settings, the new series will bring some new details about Dexter’s past to light, but it will also inevitably retread some familiar territory from the first show, which had ample flashbacks. Here’s what to remember about Dexter ‘s past before Dexter: Original Sin . Dexter didn’t find out until he was a fully grown serial murderer that he had a big brother who was also running around slaughtering people. The Ice Truck Killer who stalked Dexter was actually Brian Moser, his slightly older brother who was not adopted (or even mentioned) by Harry. Dexter only found out about Brian because the Ice Truck Killer left clues that were tailored to catch his attention — reminding him of scenes from his past as part of the Morgan family. Laura Moser was the single mother to Brian and Dexter and worked as a confidential informant for Harry and the Miami-Metro Police Department against the Colombian cartel. She was brutally dismembered right in front of Brian and Dexter, who were left wading in her blood inside a shipping container. Harry adopted Dexter as his own upon finding him in the container, but Brian was sent into the foster system. In flashbacks in Dexter , it became clear that he was not a normal teenager with typical feelings or tendencies. In fact, he had an innate bloodlust that his father recognized and tried to quell with hunting trips, to the exclusion of his daughter Debra. Harry wanted to protect Dexter from himself — particularly his self-destructive impulses. Though Harry tried to find other ways for Dexter to quench his thirst for blood, so to speak, he soon gave in and encouraged him to kill someone when he discovered Nurse Mary was poisoning Harry and other patients in the hospital after his heart attack. Once Dexter began to kill, Harry worked hard to create a framework for his adoptive son to work within that, if he followed it to the letter, would keep his morality and freedom intact. The rules included being certain that the mark was worthy of being murdered and leaving no trace of evidence behind. Even after Harry’s death, Dexter worked to strictly adhere to this code in every kill. Randy Tepper/Showtime Dexter repeatedly revealed that he felt empty on the inside, and it was Harry who taught him to feign normal human feelings and social interactions around others — even if it meant faking a smile in his own family photos. Little by little throughout Dexter , we learn that Harry Morgan had several affairs while married to Doris, including with Laura Morgan and another confidential informant. Though Harry is definitely the most common star of Dexter’s flashback memories, his adoptive mother Doris is also a fixture of his past. She died when Deb was 16 and didn’t know about Dexter’s violent tendencies, even if she didn’t totally understand him at times.

Prominent homebuilder donates $1M to New College for baseball field
After starting 2-0 in its inaugural Atlantic Coast Conference schedule, SMU looks to make the month even more special on Sunday, hosting Longwood in Dallas, Texas. The Mustangs seek a seven-game win streak in their final nonconference test before welcoming No. 4 Duke to Dallas on Jan. 4. In recent victories over Alabama State, Virginia, LSU, and Boston College, SMU (10-2) averaged 85.3 points per game, allowed just 66.0 ppg, and climbed to No. 30 in the NET rankings. "We're a different team right now than we were earlier in the season," SMU head coach Andy Enfield said at the beginning of December, his words ringing even truer as the season progresses. "They'd never been under pressure together until recently, so they're starting to learn and figure things out." Longwood (11-3) enters its third consecutive road game, having won five of its last six overall. That includes a major 82-67 win at North Carolina Central on Dec. 20. It was only the sixth nonconference home loss for NCC since 2016, and Longwood head coach Griff Aldrich saw it as a result of his team's growing cohesiveness. "We got great contributions from so many players," Aldrich said. "We have been working to play more and more connected, and this team has really taken positive steps this week." The Mustangs' Matt Cross is among the biggest threats to Longwood's defense, which allows just 66.6 points per game. A 6-foot-7 forward, Cross had 36 points over SMU's last two wins, including a 16-point, 16-rebound double-double against LSU. What Cross does with the ball in his hands is impressive -- he is averaging 13.5 ppg in December -- but it is also what he does off the ball that increases his value. "He's extremely tough," Enfield said after Cross' performance against LSU. "His wall up in transition, where (Corey) Chest came down, was going to dunk the ball, and he stood there and took the contact. ...That's a big-time basketball play." Longwood is paced by Michael Christmas, a veteran forward in his fourth year in the program. A hard-nosed wing who can score at all three levels, Christmas is Longwood's only returner who started at least 30 games on last year's NCAA Tournament team. He is averaging a team-high 11.9 points per game. "(He) loves this university, loves this town and community," Aldrich said of Christmas. "He opted to come back here to really invest in the program." --Field Level MediaThe Latest: UnitedHealthcare shooting suspect contests his extradition back to New YorkImage Sensors Market worth $29.62 Billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.5% 11-26-2024 12:26 AM CET | Associations & Organizations Press release from: ABNewswire Image Sensors Market The global image sensor market is expected to be valued at USD 20.66 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 29.62 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2024-2029.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Though experienced and dedicated, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency officers are not traditionally regarded as first responders. In a new 16-minute video posted on social media, we see TWRA officers going above and beyond what is expected of them making swift water rescues in the floodwaters of Hurricane Helene. The video comes from bodycam footage from Officer Justin Pinkston. It highlights the good work of Major Shelley Hammonds, Lieutenant Jeff Prater, Communications Coordinator Matt Cameron, and Officer Pinkston. We see them rescue people clinging to a tree, people standing on the roof of a barn, people clinging to a tractor outside of a house, and a man and his two dogs trapped inside their home. You hear a man say "Bless your heart for bringing us," and "Thank you" after they're pulled into a boat and taken to dry land. There are a lot of powerful moments. Watch the full video here.
