NEW YORK — Same iconic statue, very different race. With two-way star Travis Hunter of Colorado and Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty leading the field, these certainly aren't your typical Heisman Trophy contenders. Sure, veteran quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel from top-ranked Oregon and Cam Ward of No. 15 Miami are finalists for college football's most prestigious award as well, but the 90th annual ceremony coming up Saturday night at Lincoln Center in New York City offers a fresh flavor this year. To start with, none of the four are from the powerhouse Southeastern Conference, which has produced four of the past five Heisman winners — two each from Alabama and LSU. Jeanty, who played his home games for a Group of Five team on that peculiar blue turf in Idaho more than 2,100 miles from Manhattan, is the first running back even invited to the Heisman party since 2017. After leading the country with 2,497 yards rushing and 29 touchdowns, he joined quarterback Kellen Moore (2010) as the only Boise State players to be named a finalist. "The running back position has been overlooked for a while now," said Jeanty, who plans to enter the 2025 NFL draft. "There's been a lot of great running backs before me that should have been here in New York, so to kind of carry on the legacy of the running back position I think is great. ... I feel as if I'm representing the whole position." With the votes already in, all four finalists spent Friday conducting interviews and sightseeing in the Big Apple. They were given custom, commemorative watches to mark their achievement. "I'm not a watch guy, but I like it," said Hunter, flashing a smile. The players also took photos beneath the massive billboards in Times Square and later posed with the famous Heisman Trophy, handed out since 1935 to the nation's most outstanding performer. Hunter, the heavy favorite, made sure not to touch it yet. A dominant player on both offense and defense who rarely comes off the field, the wide receiver/cornerback is a throwback to generations gone by and the first full-time, true two-way star in decades. On offense, he had 92 catches for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns this season to help the 20th-ranked Buffaloes (9-3) earn their first bowl bid in four years. On defense, he made four interceptions, broke up 11 passes and forced a critical fumble that secured an overtime victory against Baylor. Hunter played 688 defensive snaps and 672 more on offense — the only Power Four conference player with 30-plus snaps on both sides of the ball, according to Colorado research. Call him college football's answer to baseball unicorn Shohei Ohtani. "I think I laid the ground for more people to come in and go two ways," Hunter said. "It starts with your mindset. If you believe you can do it, then you'll be able to do it. And also, I do a lot of treatment. I keep up with my body. I get a lot of recovery." Hunter is Colorado's first Heisman finalist in 30 years. The junior from Suwanee, Georgia, followed flashy coach Deion Sanders from Jackson State, an HBCU that plays in the lower level FCS, to the Rocky Mountains and has already racked up a staggering combination of accolades this week, including The Associated Press player of the year. Hunter also won the Walter Camp Award as national player of the year, along with the Chuck Bednarik Award as the top defensive player and the Biletnikoff Award for best wide receiver. "It just goes to show that I did what I had to do," Hunter said. Next, he'd like to polish off his impressive hardware collection by becoming the second Heisman Trophy recipient in Buffaloes history, after late running back Rashaan Salaam in 1994. "I worked so hard for this moment, so securing the Heisman definitely would set my legacy in college football," Hunter said. "Being here now is like a dream come true." Jeanty carried No. 8 Boise State (12-1) to a Mountain West Conference championship that landed the Broncos the third seed in this year's College Football Playoff. They have a first-round bye before facing the SMU-Penn State winner in the Fiesta Bowl quarterfinal on New Year's Eve. The 5-foot-9, 215-pound junior from Jacksonville, Florida, won the Maxwell Award as college football's top player and the Doak Walker Award for best running back. Jeanty has five touchdown runs of at least 70 yards and has rushed for the fourth-most yards in a season in FBS history — topping the total of 115 teams this year. He needs 132 yards to break the FBS record set by Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders at Oklahoma State in 1988. In a pass-happy era, however, Jeanty is trying to become the first running back to win the Heisman Trophy since Derrick Henry for Alabama nine years ago. In fact, quarterbacks have snagged the prize all but four times this century. Gabriel, an Oklahoma transfer, led Oregon (13-0) to a Big Ten title in its first season in the league and the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. The steady senior from Hawaii passed for 3,558 yards and 28 touchdowns with six interceptions. His 73.2% completion rate ranks second in the nation, and he's attempting to join quarterback Marcus Mariota (2014) as Ducks players to win the Heisman Trophy. "I think all the memories start to roll back in your mind," Gabriel said. Ward threw for 4,123 yards and led the nation with a school-record 36 touchdown passes for the high-scoring Hurricanes (10-2) after transferring from Washington State. The senior from West Columbia, Texas, won the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback of the Year award and is looking to join QBs Vinny Testaverde (1986) and Gino Torretta (1992) as Miami players to go home with the Heisman. "I just think there's a recklessness that you have to play with at the quarterback position," Ward said.
While the renovation project represents a forward-thinking initiative to enhance the hospital's infrastructure and services, it is imperative for all stakeholders to prioritize patient well-being, minimize disruptions to healthcare services, and uphold the hospital's commitment to excellence in medical care. By working collaboratively and proactively addressing the challenges posed by the temporary suspension of medical services, the hospital can emerge stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to meet the evolving healthcare needs of the community.“Let us not count our lives by the days we live, but by the good deeds we do for humanity.” – Henry Sy, Sr. In its commitment to uplift lives and drive social good nationwide, the SM Group, through SM Foundation, turned over the newly rehabilitated San Jose District Health Center in Tacloban City. This marks SM Foundation’s 211th Wellness Center. “Each health center we revitalize represents more than a facility—it’s a source of hope, healing, and dignity for the communities we serve,” Connie Angeles, SM Foundation’s Executive Director for Health and Medical Programs said, The San Jose District Health Center serves around 43,575 residents of Tacloban City, offering a wide range of health services including family planning, prenatal and postnatal care, birthing, child care, TB DOTS, minor consultations, maintenance medication provision, and adolescent wellness consultations. A renewed facility for better healthcare Established in 2010, the district health center sustained severe damage in 2013 during Typhoon Yolanda, which destroyed its structure, medical equipment, medicines, and records. Recognizing its vital role in the community, SM Foundation stepped in to rehabilitate the facility to meet modern healthcare standards. The renovated center is now equipped with key upgrades such as a dedicated breastfeeding area, an adolescent consultation space, a well-stocked pharmacy, delivery and recovery rooms, a nurse’s station with on-duty quarters, PWD-friendly toilets, and sustainable features like a rainwater catchment system and air-cleaning paints that enhance indoor air quality while promoting environmental sustainability. Further supporting its operations, SM Foundation also provided laptops to digitize patient records, enabling online consultations for residents in remote areas, improving data management, and streamlining administrative processes. These efforts also facilitate the enrollment of patients in PhilHealth Konsulta benefits. A legacy of health and hope The rehabilitation of the San Jose District Health Center coincided with the periodic maintenance of the Tacloban City Hospital and the 11th anniversary of Savemore’s presence in the city. This initiative is part of SM Group’s long-standing commitment in supporting the government’s efforts in strengthening the country’s healthcare infrastructure. Following the devastation of Typhoon Yolanda in 2013, the SM Foundation spearheaded the rebuilding of the Tacloban City Hospital, aligning with government efforts to restore critical medical facilities. The renovation of the San Jose District Health Center continues this legacy, providing enhanced access to quality healthcare and ensuring a brighter future for Tacloban’s residents. With its modernized facilities and upgraded systems, the San Jose District Health Center stands as a symbol of resilience and SM Foundation’s dedication to building healthier, more empowered communities.
Colorado is gearing up for the rugged Big 12 schedule, but first the Buffaloes wrap up their nonconference slate with two more games, starting Friday night when they host South Dakota State in Boulder, Colo. Colorado (7-2) has won two straight after competing in the Maui Invitational, most recently a 72-55 win over in-state rival Colorado State. Now the focus turns to South Dakota State and shoring up issues before conference play. "Defensively, we're understanding what our jobs are. Now, we're not where we need to be for sure," coach Tad Boyle said. "But we're making strides in that area. And I think the guys are getting used to playing with each other, understanding each other." The Buffaloes lost a lot of talent from last year's NCAA Tournament team but boast some quality players. Andrej Jakimovski (13.0 points per game), Julian Hammond III (12.3 ppg) and Elijah Moore (12.0 ppg) lead the team in scoring. Sophomore big man Bangot Dak has shown he can be a force after scoring a career-high 16 points in the win over Colorado State. The Jackrabbits (8-4) are coming off a 77-63 loss at Nevada on Wednesday night and complete a two-game trip in Boulder. South Dakota State is led by senior center Oscar Cluff, who tops the team in scoring (17.3 points) and rebounding (11.0) but had a subpar night against Nevada when he scored a season-low six points while battling an ankle injury. "I wish he was feeling a little better," coach Eric Henderson said of Cluff. "He's going to be fine, but he's still nursing that ankle a little bit." Freshman Joe Sayler is second on the team in scoring at 12.8 ppg and has reached double figures in each of the last three games. Sophomore Kalen Garry is third on the Jackrabbits in scoring at 9.6 per contest, an average that has been hurt by his last three games when he has averaged just 5.3 points. --Field Level MediaExploring the Luxurious Bathing Culture at Northeast China's Bathhouses
Rumors circulated on social media of students coming home sick after finding bugs in their spaghetti. However, District 149 Superintendent Maureen White said Thursday she received no reports of children falling ill and the single mealworm found on the table did not come from the kitchen. “There was absolutely no mealworm in the food or in the food supply, and not even where the food is prepared,” White said. “It was a hoax.” White said students told her the mealworm was brought to the table as part of a social media challenge. However, she said the district took “precautionary measures” to sanitize the cabinets where food trays are stored and clean tables more frequently. “We’re just doing an extra clean to assure that there are no bugs of any kind getting on the table,” White said.
This incident sheds light on the dangers of blind supplementation. While supplements can be beneficial when used correctly and in moderation, excessive intake can have serious consequences. Many people turn to supplements as a quick fix for health issues or to boost their immune system, but it is crucial to remember that more is not always better. Overloading the body with unnecessary or excessive supplements can put a strain on the organs and lead to toxic levels in the bloodstream.New Standard for Domestic Violence Evidence: What Does It Mean for Anti-Domestic Violence Efforts?

Daniel Principe is a youth advocate and educator. He primarily focuses on consent education and healthy relationships. Mr Principe has a background in health, plus a postgraduate in media and PR. He was very interested in how media impacted our sense of self and the way we view the world. It led to him speaking in schools on this topic. It was a no-brainer why he was asked to be an ambassador for the Australian government’s Consent Can’t Wait campaign. “I kind of playfully said, ‘You guys know what I talk about’. I don’t always talk about the most fluffiest subjects, given that I confront things like pornography and rape culture. It is pretty jarring, pretty horrific to have to discuss these things, but they are the experiences of lots of young people navigating that in this culture.” The Campaign is designed to address a problem One in five women and one in 16 men experience sexual violence from the age of 15. For women, sexual violence most often occurs between the ages of 15 and 19. The program is intended to build a community understanding of consent. Dan Principe speaks about consent in schools. Picture: Instagram/@lastoftheromans Over the last year, there have been conversations that stuck out for Mr Principe. However one that “energised” him was a conversation with 120 Year Nine boys in regional Queensland. He’d spent half a day with them talking about consent and relationships. And, after approval from a teacher, asked what was missing in pornography. “Perhaps most impressive is that 120 of these boys totally leaned in. They shared this empathetic space together. No silliness but a desire to have very loud, energetic but meaningful discussions. When I invited them to share, in front of their peers, if they wanted to, 15 boys ran to the front,” he said. I passed them the mic and they said ‘emotional connection, consent, love, romance, intimacy, the rest of their relationship, healthy communication’. “To know and now see more young people leaning into these conversions energises me — and shows that when we give young people the opportunities and encouragement they demonstrate insights and courage to have these conversations and learn from each other about respect and consent.” Mr Principe said consent conversations are at a “breaking point”. He said ranking lists where women are described a “unrapeable” and deep fake pornography are on the rise — and technology companies need to do their part. “It’s a huge issue for big technology companies and government to not just regulate this, but to eradicate it,” Mr Principe said. “It shouldn’t be possible – 12, 13 and 14-year-olds can quickly access these websites. If it exists, people will sadly take advantage of it and obviously girls are bearing the brunt of it.” Mr Principe said it’s almost as though a backwards step is being taken. He said stereotypes that belonged in the 1950s were being reinforced through jokes and toxic influences. He described it as almost an “unfair fight” for parents. He has said some of the biggest issues parents are facing. Picture: Supplied “I think we don’t appreciate the scale of how much online content is sexist and racist and glorifying these realities. From domestic violence to sexual assault to paedophilia — these are the things that are being circulated on Instagram, Tiktok and X in an attempt to push this ‘dark humour content’.” He said that these ranking lists and deep fake pornography are on the rise thanks to porn sites. “There are harmful impulses that drive these harms that aren’t just motivated by silliness and a spur of the moment. The usual power over women, degrading them and putting them in their place,” he said. “The ranking lists create a sense of ‘bonding’. It’s an initiation of sorts for these young people. It’s a counterfeit form of male intimacy. “It’s a real cultural problem. There have been schools that say they don’t have these problems at their campuses, and then 12 months later we see things like this emerge. And to be clear, it’s not the school’s fault – it’s much more deeply ingrained in our culture and needs a whole of community response.” But, when is the right time to address these conversations as a parent? He said it’s an ongoing conversation. “It’s lots of teachable moments. It’s conversations that will pop up. You can look to things in the media that can facilitate an opportunity to have this conversation with your young person,” he said. “So for example when Taylor Swift had deepfakes made of her, that would be a great conversation starter because that was news all across the world.” He said porn makes up 30 per cent of what is online and that pop ups are being displayed to children in Year Five and ix. “It’s a pretty unfair fight, but we have to engage young people in these conversations, which is something that I feel privileged to do,” he said. Mr Principe is a nominee for New South Wales Australian of the Year. “Humbling, especially as a Perth boy, the impostor syndrome is extra real having been chosen to represent NSW alongside three incredible women who are all inspiring examples of grit and grace,” Mr Principe described his nomination. “I’m grateful to have the opportunity and platform to speak about this very important and very real issue. There’s clearly been a mainstream cultural shift and I feel privileged to be able to continue speaking about it and helping to make change where I can.” More Coverage Australia’s number one biscuit revealed Claudia Poposki If you do this vile act, you’re a psychopath Claudia Poposki Originally published as Horrific 1950s attitude leaking into schools More related stories Real Life Horror at porn star’s mistake with 100 men The porn star who burst into tears after sleeping with 100 men has sparked concern after admitting she didn’t take a vital step during the sex marathon.

As we look ahead to the next chapter in the economic story, the significance of this term lies not just in its semantics but in the implications it carries for the future direction of economic policy. Only time will tell whether this revival heralds a new era of monetary accommodation or simply marks a temporary detour in the journey towards stability and prosperity.Irving's crowning as the Mavericks' one-on-one king is a testament to his dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
