A WALMART Christmas tree is back in stores for the holiday season. The mega-retailer offers a variety of artificial trees for Christmas, but one viral favorite is in stock. A design influencer, Simply Staged and Styled shared their Walmart find on Facebook . O CHRISTMAS TREE... The fake tree is sold under the brand name “ My Texas House .” It has a relatively sparse design that sets it apart from many other fake trees, which typically look very full and dense. Simply Staged and Styled said the "viral" tree was “back and better than ever.” Read More about Walmart “This year [it] comes with twinkle lights. It’s so pretty!” the account said. They said the sparse design is more realistic, and warned that they may sell out quick. “I would hurry!” they said. THE DESIGN The tree comes in various sizes. Most read in Money A 4-foot mini tree goes for $59 on Walmart’s website. The larger version is 7.5 feet. That one sells for $179. However, the influencer said there is also a 9 foot option, though it does not currently appear on Walmart’s website. It’s not clear the price of that largest size. The influencer said they would send links to anyone who commented “Christmas Tree” on their post. This engagement strategy seemed to work — dozens of Facebook users commented with the key phrase. MORE WALMART Walmart offers a variety of deals on its products, partly because of the scale of the business. For example, the store recently offered a sale on a usually pricey cologne. But those looking for discounts in the near future must plan their shopping carefully. Walmart will be closed on Thursday for Thanksgiving.

Israel, Hezbollah agree to ceasefire brokered by US and France, to take effect WednesdayBy Kurt Bardella We are a few weeks removed from the election, and Democrats do not appear to be any closer to truly understanding why they lost so much ground to Donald Trump with so many demographics. It’s clear to me that comprehending what happened and why will have to come from somewhere other than political operatives within the party, cable news media elites, the dumpster fire that is social media or pollsters. As luck would have it, after the election I found myself giving a lecture to between 40 and 50 students at an American University media and public policy class. For all the discussion about younger voters and trying to understand what motivates them to head to the polls, I wonder how many of the pundits, commentators and experts dissecting the election have actually had a conversation with anyone under age 25 about it. So there I was speaking to a room full of young adults, under 25, some from Alabama or West Virginia, others from Germany or Pakistan, many having voted in the election — most shocked, even shaken from the results. Interestingly, two young women from Pakistan, who had not voted, were least surprised by the outcome. They had a front-row seat to prejudice in America, having lived in New York in the aftermath of 9/11, the victims of threats, hatred and law enforcement targeting. They scoffed at anyone just waking up to the reality that the electorate was not persuaded by warnings of sexism, racism or misogyny. For them and their families, those factors were embedded in their lived experience as Americans. A number of students who attended some of Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign rallies were surprised that the very real, tangible energy they felt at those events did not translate to the end result. They felt that they had immersed themselves in a bubble of lefty jubilance and were blindsided when they realized that bubble wasn’t as large as they thought. As the conversation unfolded, I was surprised that the topic of the Middle East never came up as a reason to support or oppose Harris. For all the talk leading up to the election about the effect the Israel-Hamas conflict would have on younger, more progressive college voters, it didn’t come up at all in this sample. What did come up was the feeling that Harris’ pivot to the middle wasn’t authentic. Her talking about her own gun ownership, for example, felt like a blatant effort to appeal to the center-right, and they just didn’t buy it. Harris’ loss hit the young women the most. So many of them didn’t understand how so many in this country could knowingly vote for a man and a political party that want to take away their rights and control their bodies. I challenged them to raise their hands if they, with any regularity, talk with the men in their lives about their bodies, about their menstrual cycles, about what it is to experience life as a woman. I asked them how many times the men in their lives — their fathers or partners — proactively broach those topics with them. Not one hand was raised. Given that, I asked, why would you think that any of them would vote one way or the other based on what’s going on with your body? Another reccurring criticism of Harris was the inability or refusal to meaningfully distinguish what she would have done differently from President Biden. I’ll admit, I was surprised to hear this specific point mentioned numerous times. They felt that the whole premise of the Harris campaign was a fresh start, a new generation of leadership, a turning of the page from old to new and yet, by not contrasting at all from Biden, she was sending the signal to these kids that it would be business as usual. They found that incredibly uninspiring. As I spent these few hours with them, it was clear that these students feel unseen by the political system. It was an overwhelmingly pro-Harris class, but the disdain they felt for the Democratic Party was palpable. This generation doesn’t want to be told what to do or what to think. They don’t want to be told what could happen if the other side wins. They don’t want to be lectured to or preached at. What they do want is to be inspired. They want something different from what they’ve seen from Washington over the last eight years. They want to be engaged regularly and authentically, not just when the political calendar dictates, as some targeted demographic determined by a political consultant. Every election cycle, everyone asks how to get young Americans to turn out more robustly, to engage and activate. After talking with these students, I think the answer is simple: Engage them like adults. Talk to them, not at them. Be real. Make it relatable and personal. Meet them where they are, not where you want them to be. This article was published in the Los Angeles Times and distributed by Tribune Content Agency.

ROURKELA: The charred body of a Plus II student along with his fully gutted scooter was found from a torched hay stack in Sargipali under Lefripada police limits in Sundargarh district on Friday. Police suspect Mahesh Pradhan, 19, may have been murdered and the body burnt in the hay stack near the Navodaya Vidyalaya late on Thursday night. The location where the incident took place is barely 1 km from Sargipali police outpost and about 140 km from Rourkela. The incident came to light after villagers on early Friday morning saw the charred body and the two-wheeler before informing police. Initially, the body could not be identified and police identified victim as Mahesh Pradhan using the chassis number of the gutted vehicle. Mahesh was son of Duryodhar Pradhan residing near the regulated market committee complex at Sargipali. Sundargarh SP Pratyush Diwakar visited the site to take stock of the situation and police sent the body for autopsy to Sundargarh district headquarters hospital. Diwakar said preliminary investigation revealed Mahesh was last seen going out on his scooter on Thursday night and did not return home. While investigation is underway from all angles, the SP said, prima facie it appeared the victim may have met with an accident and hit the paddy straw stack. That might have led to a fire that reduced everything to ashes. Diwakar said an unnatural death case has been registered and phone call records of the 19-year-old are being analysed to know about his movement on Thursday night. If anything suspicious is found, the case would be converted accordingly. The SP said there was no struggle mark on the site to suggest foul play and his family members also did not cite any such possibility. The location is along a yet-to-be-opened newly-constructed road on the outskirts of Sargipali and seldom frequented by local villagers.An on-field interaction between a UW-Madison Police officer and a Nebraska football assistant coach after Saturday's game was a "misunderstanding" that ended in an apology, a police spokesperson said. Lt. Adam Boardman, one of the UWPD officers escorting University of Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell to the locker room amid fans rushing the field after a 44-25 Huskers victory , turned away to grab Nebraska offensive line coach Donovan Raiola by the arm, video posted to social media showed . Video of postgame encounter between Luke Fickell, Donovan Raiola circulates online That followed an apparent exchange of words between Raiola and Fickell and Badgers assistant offensive line coach Casey Rabach, who were walking in opposite directions. The context of the discussion wasn't apparent from the video, but Fickell and Raiola both pointed at the other, and Rabach later pointed at Raiola. Boardman and Raiola talked for about 15 seconds after Boardman pried Raiola away from a hug with Nebraska running backs coach EJ Barthel. UWPD spokesperson Marc Lovicott said it was a "misunderstanding amid a pretty chaotic scene." He said Boardman made contact with an "unknown individual who had approached" Badgers coaches as they were leaving the field. "Once it was confirmed that the individual was a member of the Nebraska coaching staff, the UWPD officer apologized for the misunderstanding," Lovicott wrote in an email Tuesday. "The interaction concluded cordially with a handshake." Lovicott said UW Police has made contact with counterparts at Nebraska "and they're also considering it a misunderstanding." Raiola played for Wisconsin from 2002 to 2005. "I don't want speculate without knowing, obviously Donny went to Wisconsin, so I don't know if there was some history there with somebody or something," said Nebraska coach Matt Rhule, who said he was shown video of the incident Monday. "When I asked Donny about it, he was like, 'No big deal.' Things happen after games and people are emotional, but he seemed to kinda brush it off." Fickell said he didn't know much about the interaction when he was asked about it at his weekly news conference Monday. "I mean, I don't know if he was talking to Casey, somebody said something, I don't know," Fickell said. "I just said it looked like maybe he said something to me, but I had no idea. And I had no idea that that was even something. So if it was, I didn't spend a whole lot of time thinking about it."

Ole Miss ' 24-17 loss to Florida continues a familiar storyline that has plagued even its best seasons in the modern era. The Rebels have never played in the SEC Championship Game -- which began in 1992 -- and must go all the way back to 1963 to find their last conference title. Great players and coaches have come through Oxford, delivering huge moments and big wins, but over the course of a season, the Rebels have too often struggled to string together enough successful moments to propel them into SEC title contention. The last time Ole Miss was on the field, a record crowd of 68,126 stormed a rain-soaked field after the Rebels downed Georgia 28-10. The Bulldogs were the highest-ranked visiting team to lose in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, and the College Football Playoff implications were clear in the wake of the win. Tiebreaker scenarios weren't favorable to Ole Miss in terms of making the SEC title game, but with a head-to-head win against Georgia, the Rebels were well-positioned to compete for an at-large spot in the 12-team playoff bracket -- as long as they finished the season 10-2. With Florida and Mississippi State on the schedule for the final two games, Ole Miss spent part of the off-week thinking about the future. Lane Kiffin discussed the potential advantages of not playing in the SEC Championship Game, and fans took to social media to argue for playoff inclusion, and even a top-8 seed that could bring a home-field playoff game in the first round. Instead, Ole Miss let history rear its ugly head Saturday. The loss to the Gators eliminates the Rebels from SEC title contention again and potentially cost them a shot at the College Football Playoff. Those comments about the SEC Championship Game came from a coach speaking to other coaches concerned about what a third loss would do to a team's playoff profile. But context will be lost, because fans will remember only that Lane Kiffin was discussing how it might be better not to play in the title game -- just before a devastating loss that crushed their playoff hopes. Now in his fifth year at Ole Miss, Kiffin has already achieved sustained success not seen since Johnny Vaught, the coach responsible for six SEC championships and all three of the program's claimed national titles. Kiffin has raised the standard and expectations, given Ole Miss an identity and utilized the tools of modern roster construction to field competitive teams without needing total rebuilds. The Rebels lean heavily on the transfer portal, but not all portal additions are short-term solutions. The ability to find players who can contribute for multiple years is as advantageous as landing a blue-chip high school prospect. While the locker room is a wide-ranging collection of backgrounds and personalities, it's Kiffin who has pulled them together and kept the program moving in a winning direction year after year. But Saturday's loss will sting for Kiffin, who had a chance to follow up the Georgia win with a College Football Playoff run. With multiple New Year's Six appearances, Kiffin's Ole Miss program was among those most expected to benefit from an expanded playoff field. The Rebels could have made the CFP in previous years under this year's format, and with the Georgia win in the bag, all Kiffin needed to do was land the plane. While the game itself lacked the drama of others, it brought back memories of Ole Miss facing Arkansas in 2015. After an early season win against Alabama and victories against division foes Texas A&M and Auburn , the Rebels needed only to hold serve for a trip to the SEC title game. They had the Razorbacks seemingly stopped on a 4th-and-25 in overtime until Hunter Henry's baffling one-handed lateral over his head was picked up off the bounce by Alex Collins and advanced for a first down. Arkansas proceeded to score and walk it off with a 2-point conversion to win in Oxford. On this day 8 years ago, Arkansas converted a 4th and 25 in OT. Shortly after, the Razorbacks scored the game-winning TD and 2-point conversion. pic.twitter.com/C0igPwYAKo Many remember the incredible sequence as the moment that cost Ole Miss the SEC West. But in truth the same team threw a wrench into Ole Miss' postseason hopes in 2015 and 2024 -- Florida. The Rebels were up to No. 3 in rankings after beating Alabama, but it was a loss in The Swamp that narrowed the margin for error throughout October and November. Florida twice crushing Ole Miss' lofty hopes carries some poetic intrigue. It was the Rebels who upset the Gators in 2008, prompting Tim Tebow's famous "promise" after the game. Tebow followed through on his word and delivered the Gators a second national title in three years. With Florida's win on Saturday, the Gators are now 3-0 against Ole Miss since "the promise". With Florida and Ole Miss playing this weekend, we had to bring this back. Tim Tebow's "The Promise" speech after the Rebels upset No. 4 Florida in 2008. pic.twitter.com/sDEVTeBLts Ole Miss will now move on to the Egg Bowl and root for the kind of chaos that arrived on its doorstep this weekend. If the Rebels win, a 9-3 record with a win against Georgia will get a look from the selection committee. But as a three-loss team with multiple losses to unranked teams is not going to win a lot of tiebreaker scenarios. The expanded CFP format was seemingly built for Ole Miss to make its first-ever playoff appearance, and after logging one of its biggest wins in program history the job was seemingly done. But those first appearances can be deceiving. The mirage of Ole Miss' playoff push was revealed to be another Ole Miss football nightmare.Why This Tech Giant’s Stock is Set to SoarZelensky demands response from allies as Putin threatens West with new missile

BOSTON (AP) — UConn coach Jim Mora pulled a move that would make Bill Belichick proud while preparing the Huskies to play the notoriously churlish former New England Patriot's next team in his old backyard. Mora and his players were more than 45 minutes late for what was scheduled as a 30-minute media availability a day before Saturday's Fenway Bowl against North Carolina. Mora then gave a non-apology straight out of Belichick’s playbook. “We practice at a certain time the day before a game,” Mora said. “And we stuck to the script.” A six-time Super Bowl winner in New England with Tom Brady, Belichick was fired after going 4-13 in 2023, leaving him just 14 wins short of matching Don Shula’s all-time record for NFL victories. Unable to land a pro job at the age of 72, Belichick signed on with North Carolina — his first college gig — when they fired 73-year-old Mack Brown. Belichick hasn’t taken over on the Tar Heels' sideline yet; interim coach Freddie Kitchens — another ex-Cleveland Browns coach — will lead them in the Fenway Bowl. But the future Hall of Famer's potential return to a football field in Boston has been the biggest story ahead of Saturday’s game. Belichick did not attend media day, and Fenway Bowl executive director Brett Miller tried to preempt questions about him by asking reporters “to keep questions focusing on the players and coaches out here today.” “I don’t need to beat around the bush any more than that,” he said in comments that would have been cryptic if it weren’t so obvious to everyone who he meant. “I know there’s probably a lot of questions that you guys have about next year, particularly one side. Please do your best to keep it to these guys, because they’ve earned the right to be here.” The request wasn’t completely successful, with Kitchens taking a question about Belichick specifically and saying he talks to his new boss every day. Earlier this month, Kitchens said: “He asks questions; I answer the questions.” “I’m going to try to soak in all I can from him, and be a better coach because of it,” Kitchens said after Belichick was hired. “I love Carolina, I want what’s best for Carolina, and I know that right now at this moment in time, coach Belichick is what’s best for Carolina. “At the end of the day, he’s a ballcoach,” he said, “and I enjoy working for ballcoaches.” Mora also brushed off a question about whether the next Carolina coach would have any impact on Saturday's game. “It's irrelevant to us," said Mora, who was 0-1 against Belichick in four seasons as an NFL head coach. "We can't control the emotions of our opponents. And as far as I know, coach Belichick will not be taking the football field on Saturday, so it's not relevant to this football team in our preparation. North Carolina (6-6) will be playing in a bowl for the sixth straight year – the second-longest streak in program history. The Tar Heels climbed from back-to-back nine-loss seasons in the final years of Larry Fedora to reach into The Associated Top 25 in each of the previous four seasons under Brown, who also coached them from 1988-97 in one of the most successful eras of Carolina football history. After starting out 3-0 this year, the Tar Heels lost four straight — including a 70-50 loss to Sun Belt Conference team James Madison. They won three more to gain bowl eligibility before a loss to Boston College that sealed Brown's fate, and a season-ending loss to rival NC State. UConn is playing in its second bowl game in three seasons under Jim Mora, bouncing back from last year’s 3-9 record to post its first eight-win season since Randy Edsall took the Huskies to the Fiesta Bowl in 2010. An independent, UConn won all of its games against the non-Power 4 conferences and lost to Syracuse, Wake Forest and Duke of the Atlantic Coast Conference and Maryland of the Big Ten. Miller said the bowl, which has struggled to find traction in a city more focused on the success of its professional sports teams, sold more tickets this year than in its first two. The Belichick angle is certainly part of that, but the game has also had some good success picking teams, hosting Louisville in 2022 -- the year before the Cardinals climbed into The Associated Press Top 10 – and then SMU last year, one season before the Mustangs made the College Football Playoff. “Could one of these teams be next,” Miller said. “We’ll see.” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.
