Lea Miller-Tooley hopped off a call to welcome the Baylor women’s basketball team to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, where 80-degree temperatures made it easy for the Bears to settle in on Paradise Island a week before Thanksgiving. About 5,000 miles west of the Caribbean nation, similar climes awaited Maui Invitational men's teams in Hawaii. They’ve often been greeted with leis, the traditional Hawaiian welcome of friendship. College basketball teams and fans look forward to this time of the year. The holiday week tournaments feature buzzworthy matchups and all-day TV coverage, sure, but there is a familiarity about them as they help ward off the November chill. For four decades, these sandy-beach getaways filled with basketball have become a beloved mainstay of the sport itself. “When you see (ESPN’s) ‘Feast Week’ of college basketball on TV, when you see the Battle 4 Atlantis on TV, you know college basketball is back,” said Miller-Tooley, the founder and organizer of the Battle 4 Atlantis men's and women's tournaments. “Because it’s a saturated time of the year with the NFL, college football and the NBA. But when you see these gorgeous events in these beautiful places, you realize, ‘Wow, hoops are back, let’s get excited.’” People are also reading... MTE Madness The Great Alaska Shootout was the trend-setting multiple-team event (MTE) nearly five decades ago. The brainchild of late Alaska-Anchorage coach Bob Rachal sought to raise his program’s profile by bringing in national-power programs, which could take advantage of NCAA rules allowing them to exceed the maximum allotment of regular-season games if they played the three-game tournament outside the contiguous 48 states. The first edition, named the Sea Wolf Classic, saw N.C. State beat Louisville 72-66 for the title on Nov. 26, 1978. The Maui Invitational followed in November 1984, borne from the buzz of NAIA program Chaminade’s shocking upset of top-ranked Virginia and 7-foot-4 star Ralph Sampson in Hawaii two years earlier. Events kept coming, with warm-weather locales getting in on the action. The Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Cancun Challenge in Mexico. The Cayman Islands Classic. The Jamaica Classic. The Myrtle Beach Invitational joining the Charleston Classic in South Carolina. Numerous tournaments in Florida. Some events have faded away like the Puerto Rico Tipoff and the Great Alaska Shootout, the latter in 2017 amid event competition and schools opting for warm-weather locales. Notre Dame takes on Chaminade during the first half of a 2017 game in Lahaina, Hawaii. Atlantis rising Miller-Tooley’s push to build an MTE for Atlantis began as a December 2010 doubleheader with Georgia Tech beating Richmond and Virginia Tech beating Mississippi State in a prove-it moment for a tournament’s viability. It also required changing NCAA legislation to permit MTEs in the Bahamas. Approval came in March 2011; the first eight-team Atlantis men’s tournament followed in November. That tournament quickly earned marquee status with big-name fields, with Atlantis champions Villanova (2017) and Virginia (2018) later winning that season’s NCAA title. Games run in a ballroom-turned-arena at the resort, where players also check out massive swimming pools, water slides and inner-tube rapids surrounded by palm trees and the Atlantic Ocean. “It’s just the value of getting your passport stamped, that will never get old,” Miller-Tooley said. “Watching some of these kids, this may be their first and last time – and staff and families – that they ever travel outside the United States. ... You can see through these kids’ eyes that it’s really an unbelievable experience.” ACC Network analyst Luke Hancock knows that firsthand. His Louisville team finished second at Atlantis in 2012 and won that year’s later-vacated NCAA title, with Hancock as the Final Four's most outstanding player. “I remember (then-coach Rick Pitino) saying something to the effect of: ‘Some of you guys might never get this opportunity again. We’re staying in this unbelievable place, you’re doing it with people you love,’” Hancock said. “It was a business trip for us there at Thanksgiving, but he definitely had a tone of ‘We’ve got to enjoy this as well.’” Popular demand Maui offers similar vibes, though 2024 could be a little different as Lahaina recovers from deadly 2023 wildfires that forced the event's relocation last year. North Carolina assistant coach Sean May played for the Tar Heels’ Maui winner in 2004 and was part of UNC’s staff for the 2016 champion, with both teams later winning the NCAA title. May said “you just feel the peacefulness” of the area — even while focusing on games — and savors memories of the team taking a boat out on the Pacific Ocean after title runs under now-retired Hall of Famer Roy Williams. “Teams like us, Dukes, UConns – you want to go to places that are very well-run,” May said. “Maui, Lea Miller with her group at the Battle 4 Atlantis, that’s what drives teams to come back because you know you’re going to get standard A-quality of not only the preparation but the tournament with the way it’s run. Everything is top-notch. And I think that brings guys back year after year.” That’s why Colorado coach Tad Boyle is so excited for the Buffaloes’ first Maui appearance since 2009. “We’ve been trying to get in the tournament since I got here,” said Boyle, now in his 15th season. And of course, that warm-weather setting sure doesn’t hurt. “If you talk about the Marquettes of the world, St. John’s, Providence – they don’t want that cold weather,” said NBA and college TV analyst Terrence Oglesby, who played for Clemson in the 2007 San Juan Invitational in Puerto Rico. “They’re going to have to deal with that all January and February. You might as well get a taste of what the sun feels like.” Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo argues a call during the first half of a Nov. 16 game against Bowling Green in East Lansing, Michigan. Mi zzo is making his fourth trip to Maui. Packed schedule The men’s Baha Mar Championship in Nassau, Bahamas, got things rolling last week with No. 11 Tennessee routing No. 13 Baylor for the title. The week ahead could boast matchups befitting the Final Four, with teams having two weeks of action since any opening-night hiccups. “It’s a special kickoff to the college basketball season,” Oglesby said. “It’s just without the rust.” On the women’s side, Atlantis began its fourth eight-team women’s tournament Saturday with No. 16 North Carolina and No. 18 Baylor, while the nearby Baha Mar resort follows with two four-team women’s brackets that include No. 2 UConn, No. 7 LSU, No. 17 Mississippi and No. 20 N.C. State. Then come the men’s headliners. The Maui Invitational turns 40 as it opens Monday back in Lahaina. It features second-ranked and two-time reigning national champion UConn, No. 4 Auburn, No. 5 Iowa State and No. 10 North Carolina. The Battle 4 Atlantis opens its 13th men’s tournament Wednesday, topped by No. 3 Gonzaga, No. 16 Indiana and No. 17 Arizona. Michigan State Hall of Famer Tom Izzo is making his fourth trip to Maui, where he debuted as Jud Heathcote’s successor at the 1995 tournament. Izzo's Spartans have twice competed at Atlantis, last in 2021. “They’re important because they give you something in November or December that is exciting,” Izzo said. Any drawbacks? “It’s a 10-hour flight,” he said of Hawaii.

(AP Photo/Ben McKeown) Be the first to know Get local news delivered to your inbox!The Ministry of Social Development and Human Security is proposing to expand the early childhood development scheme, with details to be sent to cabinet. Minister of Social Development and Human Security, Varawut Silpa-archa, said the proposal is an enhanced version of the current scheme, which provides children, from newborns to six years of age, from poor families a monthly allowance of 600 baht per child to ensure sufficient funds for their development. Under the proposed scheme, Mr Varawut said the 600-baht monthly allowance will be extended to cover all children under the age of six. The number of eligible recipients is estimated at 3.2 million, he said. The Department of Children and Youth (DCY) has forwarded the proposal to the ministry for further submission to the cabinet. If approved, the scheme will be implemented in the 2026 fiscal year. However, he said, the cabinet will have a final say in the matter. The proposal, he said, will require an additional budget of 6.7 billion baht to cover all the recipients, saying amount is relatively small compared to other schemes. He said the programme should be implemented to ensure all children have a proper early childhood development, especially considering the country's declining birth rate. The minister said the proposal has been reviewed by the public, and most people asked about it preferred the allowance increased to 1,200 baht for current recipients. The child development support programme was launched in 2015. Under the scheme, children from poor families were given 400 baht per month until they turned one. The policy was later expanded to cover children up to six years old, and the allowance was raised to 600 baht a month. For a household to qualify for the scheme, the household's earnings must not exceed 100,000 baht per annum. Meanwhile, Mr Varawut said the ministry is also joining hands with the Department of Religious Affairs to better protect young novices from harassment and abuse at monastic venues. He said a child protection centre at Wat Tham Tako in Lop Buri's Muang district will be used as a model to promote child safety while the ministry will provide assistance and counselling to those who were affected by abuse, and their families.

In a heated exchange, Thrissur Mayor M K Varghese has rejected allegations by CPI leader V S Sunil Kumar regarding his political loyalties. Accusations surfaced after Varghese met BJP state president K Surendran, which Sunil Kumar suggested was a move towards BJP allegiance. Varghese countered these claims on Saturday, stating that the controversy over a Christmas cake shared with Surendran was exaggerated and politically motivated. He insisted that no explanation was sought from him by the CPI leadership and that support among councillors remained firm. This incident highlights the delicate power balance in Thrissur's council, where both LDF and UDF possess 24 seats each, leaving Varghese's independent position as a crucial tie-breaker.

Epsilon Energy Ltd. Announces Quarterly Dividend

Barclays PLC Boosts Stock Holdings in 89bio, Inc. (NASDAQ:ETNB)F.N.B. Co. (NYSE:FNB) Shares Sold by Sanctuary Advisors LLC

This year has been one of milestones for top tech company Nvidia ( NVDA -2.09% ) . The artificial intelligence (AI) chip leader delivered record earnings quarter after quarter as demand for its products and services soared. Thanks to a triple-digit share price gain, the company even temporarily became the largest by market value -- surpassing Apple . Nvidia also won a spot among the elite, with an invitation to join the Dow Jones Industrial Average , and the stock became the best performer on the benchmark for the year. It's clear that this AI powerhouse has been firing on all cylinders. But the string of milestones isn't over. The company just reached yet another one, worth about $30 billion and showing exactly how important this stock is to investors right now. Let's take a closer look and consider whether Nvidia stock is a buy for 2025. The GPU is a natural for AI First, though, a quick summary of the Nvidia story so far. The company makes the world's top-performing graphics processing units (GPUs), a type of chip that mainly powered video games in its earlier days. But the GPU's ability to process many tasks at once made it a natural for other areas too. That's how and why the GPU expanded into AI. In fact, this chip plays a central role in crucial AI tasks -- such as the training and inferencing of large language models . As a result, Nvidia's revenue has exploded higher in recent years. For example, in the latest quarter, revenue came in at a record of more than $35 billion -- higher than a full year of revenue just two years ago. Importantly, the company is also highly profitable on sales, with a gross margin of more than 70% in recent quarters. Nvidia even expects gross margin to remain above 70% during the launch of its Blackwell architecture. This illustrates the strength of the company's cost structure -- because launches, involving new logistics and manufacturing processes, generally weigh on profit. As mentioned above, this tech giant has reached milestone after milestone over the past year, and now it's finishing up 2024 with yet another one. Nvidia is on its way to becoming the most-bought security by retail investors this year. Retail investor purchases represented nearly $30 billion in net inflows into Nvidia as of Dec. 17, according to Vanda Research. Last year, Nvidia was only the No. 4 most-purchased stock, with about $11 billion in inflows, and Tesla took the top spot. The data also show that net inflows from retail investors into Nvidia have increased by nine-fold from 2021. So, regular investors like you and me have piled into Nvidia in recent times, and the company has become a key part of many portfolios. But does Nvidia have what it takes to continue being an investor favorite, and is the stock a buy for 2025? Nvidia's valuation Nvidia's popularity among investors has driven valuation higher. Today, the stock trades for 47x forward earnings estimates , around its most expensive level this year. Still, it's not a ridiculously high level for a growth stock, especially one operating in a dynamic industry that's in the early days of its story. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says that about $1 trillion in outdated computers operate in the world today, and they'll need to be updated for accelerated computing. This suggests that a lot more growth could be ahead for Nvidia over the long term. Something big is happening in the near term that could continue pushing Nvidia stock higher. As mentioned, Nvidia is launching Blackwell, a move that's already started with a production ramp during this current quarter. Blackwell is a fully customizable system, with seven different chips, various networking options and more -- and its performance could be a game-changer for users. Speaking of users, they've been lining up to get in on Blackwell for quite some time, with demand reaching "insane" levels, as Huang said during a CNBC interview this fall. Nvidia even says it expects several billion dollars in Blackwell revenue during this first quarter of commercialization. All this means that Nvidia, even after its gains this year, has what it takes to continue attracting retail investors and landing at the top of their investing lists. This popularity doesn't make the stock a buy -- but other elements do. Nvidia's market leadership, its focus on innovation, and the launch of Blackwell could drive this stock higher in the weeks and months to come, making it a top stock to add to your portfolio for 2025.

President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee, Pete Hegseth, is not qualified to be secretary of defense, even if we put aside unproven sexual assault allegations made against him. While Hegseth is a veteran, Senate confirmation of a nominee with no leadership experience in such a large and complex organization as the Department of Defense would be in stark contrast with the notion of our military as a merit-based, professional force. Leading millions of service members and civilian workers is not an entry-level or training opportunity. Also, Hegseth’s publicly-stated views do not inspire confidence that he would provide apolitical leadership. He has cast the political/social situation in the United States as a crusade between irreconcilable foes with the only option being total victory for his — and Trump’s — chosen side. The ultimate loyalty of our military is to the U.S. Constitution, not political parties. Hegseth’s nomination appears to be based on the idea that the military must stop being “woke,” but its current challenges have nothing to do with “wokeness.” They have to do with chronic congressional delays in passing appropriations bills; inadequate funding of maintenance and modernization; competition with private industry for recruits; and stress on equipment, personnel and logistics systems brought on by decades of overcommitment around the globe. The list goes on. This hyperattention on getting rid of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, and every other military program that promotes fair treatment and inclusion is a bogeyman that takes the spotlight away from the real problems affecting our military readiness.

What Bernie had that Kamala didn’t When I asked my blue-collar Pennsylvania friends why they voted for President-elect Donald Trump, I got an astounding reply. They said, “...because Bernie Sanders was not on the ticket.” On the surface this makes no sense, with Sanders way on the far left, and Trump certainly way on the far right. But look a little deeper. Back in 2016, when Sanders, the independent Vermont senator, was running against Hilary Clinton in the Democratic primaries, he “got it” in connection with these voters. He got it in town hall meeting after town hall meeting in a way Clinton could never understand. She seemed aloof and elitist. It’s my belief that Sanders would have beaten Trump in that presidential election, although that’s still pure conjecture. Across the Atlantic back in 2019, the Labour Party’s Jeremy Corbyn lost the British working-class vote, and the Conservatives’ Boris Johnson became the United Kingdom’s prime minister. This year , Labour’s Kier Starmer got the working class back, becoming prime minister in a vote that bucked a recent European trend of movement to the right and populist politics. This year in America, Kamala Harris lost the blue-collar vote. The Democrats will need to do some serious house cleaning to get it back! Tony Grant, Newton Proposed law is for the birds So, some New Jersey lawmakers want to restrict the use of residential bird feeders to control interactions between back bears and humans? Proposed regulations contained in legislation include elevating the feeders to at least 10 feet above the ground, and taking them indoors every night between April 1 and Nov. 30. Really? My only conclusion is that recent articles about this bill were meant to be printed on April Fool’s Day. Ellen Rogers, Skillman Congressional pair should call it quits U.S. Reps. Mikie Sherrill, D-11, and Josh Gottheimer, D-5, recently won reelection to Congress. They suggested to the voters that they would work full time for them in the next session of Congress. But, now, they are both declared candidates for governor in next year’s Democratic primary. Running for governor and being a member of Congress should be considered to be two full-time jobs. It’s no secret that Gottheimer and Sherrill have each planned their gubernatorial runs for months. They should do the honorable thing and resign from Congress. Their ambitious power plays are one of the many reasons why people don’t vote. Fred Stein, South Brunswick Election over; stop dividing the country This letter was sent to the Star-Ledger, but it is directed to all of the left-leaning media: Stop dividing the country. A plurality of the voting public elected Donald Trump as president. Even with all of the hate speech that the left could spew, it did them no good for the result. Some of the things they did is compare Trump to Hitler and say that Trump’s supporters are “garbage.” Now, the liberals are directing all of their venom to Trump’s cabinet picks. Realize that Trump was elected a second time because the American people are tired of all of the retreads that the left parades around Washington. So, instead of giving Trump’s picks the benefit of the doubt, the left goes into attack mode. They will not give Trump or his programs or his cabinet choices a chance. The left finds fault with everything. These tactics did not work for the election and they won’t work now. Again, stop dividing the nation and help it come together.
