super bowl questions game
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California quarterback Miller Moss is entering the transfer portal after losing the Trojans' starting job last month. Moss made his announcement on social media Monday. Moss started the Trojans ' bowl victory last season and their first nine games this season before coach Lincoln Riley replaced him with Jayden Maiava in early November. “Being a USC Trojan was a lifelong dream of mine,” Moss wrote. “Putting on the cardinal and gold and competing on behalf of my teammates and school is something I will forever take pride in. I poured everything I have into this — body, heart, mind and soul — and am humbled by and proud of what my teammates and I accomplished.” Moss, who was born in Los Angeles and went to high school in the San Fernando Valley, signed with USC before Riley arrived at the school. Moss also stayed with the Trojans after Caleb Williams transferred from Oklahoma to rejoin Riley, and he served as Williams’ backup for two seasons before getting his chance to play with six touchdown passes in last year's Holiday Bowl. Moss completed 64.4% of his passes this season for 2,555 yards with 18 touchdowns and nine interceptions. After a spectacular 378-yard performance to beat LSU in the Trojans' season opener, Moss didn't play poorly as a starter, but he also wasn't a difference-maker while USC stumbled to a 4-5 record. Moss threw seven interceptions in his final five starts before losing the job to Maiava. The Trojans went 1-4 in that stretch under Moss, who plays as a more traditional pocket passer while Maiava has the mobility usually favored for quarterbacks in Riley's spread offense. “Looking towards the future, I'm unwaveringly committed to becoming an even better quarterback and leader, and to achieving this at the next level,” Moss wrote. Moss has already graduated from USC, putting him in the portal as a graduate student. USC (6-6) is headed to a lower-tier bowl game again to finish this season, its third under Riley. ___ AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-football Copyright 2024 The Associated Press .

BOULDER, Colo. — Travis Hunter is a throwback-type player — an elite receiver one moment, a lockdown cornerback the next — who rarely leaves the field and has a knack for making big plays all over it. The Colorado Buffaloes' two-way standout (see: unicorn) even celebrates at an elite level, unveiling imaginative dance moves following touchdowns and interceptions, some of which include the Heisman Trophy pose. It's one of the many awards he's in line to win. Hunter is the The Associated Press college football player of the year, receiving 26 of 43 votes Thursday from a panel of AP Top 25 voters. Boise State tailback Ashton Jeanty finished second with 16 votes and Arizona State running back Cameron Skattebo received one vote. "Couldn't do what I do without my team," Hunter said in an email on a trip to Las Vegas for an awards ceremony. "So I view being up for these awards as team awards." A player with his particular set of skills doesn't come around that often. He's a flashback to the days of Charles Woodson at Michigan or Champ Bailey at Georgia. Or even his coach, Deion Sanders, a two-way star in the NFL. The prospect of significant playing time on both sides of the ball is what led Hunter to join Sanders at Jackson State and why he followed Sanders to Boulder. "Coach Prime was the only coach who would consider allowing me to do what I'm doing," said Hunter, who's expected to be a top-five pick next spring in the NFL draft, possibly even the No. 1 overall selection. "He did it and knows what it takes — how much you have to be ready on both sides of the ball." Want to fuel Hunter? Simply tell him he can't. "I'm motivated when people tell me I can't do something," Hunter said. "That I can't dominate on both sides of the ball. I want to be an example for others that anything is possible. Keep pursuing your dreams." Hunter helped the 20th-ranked Buffaloes to a 9-3 record this season and a berth in the Alamo Bowl against No. 17 BYU (10-2) on Dec. 28. He played 688 defensive snaps and 672 more on offense — the lone Power Four conference player with 30-plus snaps on both sides of the ball, according to Colorado research. Hunter has already won a second straight Paul Hornung award as the game's most versatile player. He's up for the Walter Camp (player of the year), Maxwell (most outstanding player), the Biletnikoff (best receiver) and Bednarik (top defensive player) awards. And, of course, the Heisman, where he's the odds-on favorite to win over Jeanty this weekend. Hunter can join the late Rashaan Salaam as the only Colorado players to capture the Heisman. Salaam won it in 1994 after rushing for 2,055 yards. Hunter wasn't a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, which goes to the nation's top defensive back. That drew the wrath of Sanders, who earned the award with Florida State in 1988 and vowed to give his trophy to Hunter. Hunter's high school coach, Lenny Gregory, knew he had a special player the summer of Hunter's freshman year. Gregory, then the coach at Collins Hill in Georgia, had a conditioning test for his players — run six 200-yard dashes with a minute rest in between. Defensive backs had to complete each in under 32 seconds. Hunter never even got winded. He played safety/cornerback and receiver as a freshman and helped Collins Hill to a state title his senior season. "I remember just talking to colleges the spring of his ninth-grade year and telling coaches that this kid's going to be the No. 1 player in the country," recounted Gregory, who's now the coach at Gordon Central High in Calhoun, Georgia. "They'd look at him and laugh at me, 'What are you talking about? This scrawny kid? He's not big enough.' I was like, 'Just watch. Just watch.'" Hunter finished the regular season with 92 catches for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns as a receiver. On defense, he had four interceptions, broke up 11 passes and forced one crucial fumble, which secured an OT win over Baylor. Overall, Hunter had 92 receptions and allowed 22. He hauled in 14 receiving TDs and allowed just one. He was responsible for 53 first downs and gave up just six. He was targeted 119 times by Shedeur Sanders & Co. but only 39 times by opposing QBs. Hunter's likely final game in Boulder, a rout of Oklahoma State, was a three-touchdown, one-interception performance. "I'm used to seeing him do all this spectacular stuff," Shedeur Sanders said. "I'm used to all this stuff — you all are just now seeing it on national stage."If PTI founder is to be released then put govt in jail, says Javed LatifAston Villa denied last-gasp winner in Juventus stalemate

Letter: 'Being penalised for paying our pension'Seamer Mohammed Shami will not be considered for India’s fourth and fifth Tests in Australia due to a knee injury. The 34-year-old has fully recovered from his heel injury after undergoing surgery in February. He was not picked in the squad but there had been a chance he could have been added to support pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, if he were fit and available. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today Shami has not played international cricket since the ODI World Cup last year but has returned to domestic cricket to prove his fitness. “His left knee has exhibited minor swelling due to increased joint loading from his bowling workload. The swelling is on the expected lines, owing to the increased bowling after a prolonged period,” the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in a statement. “Based on the current medical assessment, the BCCI medical team has determined that his knee requires more time for controlled exposure to bowling loads. “Consequently, he has not been deemed fit for consideration for the remaining two tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.” India battled hard to earn a draw in the rain-hit third test in Brisbane, leaving the five-match series tied at 1-1 heading into the Boxing Day clash. Despite not having Shami by his side, the Boxing Day Test wicket is likely to have Bumrah licking his lips, regardless of the expected Day 1 furnace at the MCG. The MCG has made a deliberate effort over the past few years to make its Test pitches more friendly for pace bowlers. Head curator Matt Page was asked if Bumrah, the standout bowler in the series so far, would be pleased with the pitch prepared. “All the good bowlers get excited when they come here now. It gets through well for us,” Page said on Monday. “We’re never going to be as quick as Perth and Brisbane, but over the last few years we’ve managed to get some pace in it, which has created that excitement. “There’s a bit of grass on it. If you’re a fast bowler and you look at it, you probably do get excited.” Depending on how long the fourth Australia-India Test lasts, Melbourne Cricket Club chief executive Stuart Fox says a total attendance of more than 250,000 could be possible. Day 1 on Thursday is sold out, with the temperature expected to hit 40C. Page added the forecast heat over the next couple of days would not affect the pitch preparation unduly. “It probably means it might quicken up a bit quicker than what it would if it was 20C,” he said. “Whether we leave a bit more moisture in it, I can’t say yes or no at this stage. “We’ll keep monitoring the weather ... and adjust our preparation accordingly. “We’ve been really happy with the last couple of years, so it’s a rinse-and-repeat job for us.” India have been training at the MCG for a couple of days already and there are murmurs out of their camp about the quality of the net wickets. Page countered that how his team prepared the net wickets was standard ahead of Boxing Day. “Three days out, we prepare Test match pitches. If teams come and train before that, they get what pitches we’ve had. It’s stock-standard procedure for us,” he said. Fox said the MCG would have extra bottles of water available on Thursday and urged fans to look after themselves in the heat. “It’s going to be challenging for everyone,” Fox said of the Day 1 weather. Fox is also excited about what sort of crowd figure the match would generate. “Why couldn’t we have a Test match that is 270,000? There are no limits,” he said. Page was asked how he would feel if the Test did not go into Day 4, as was the case in Adelaide. “If the game only goes for two-and-a-half days, but you see a great game, is that good for the game?” he posed.
NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump was on the verge of backing a 16-week federal abortion ban earlier this year when aides staged an intervention. According to Time magazine's cover story on his selection as its 2024 Person of the Year, Trump's aides first raised concerns in mid-March that the abortion cutoff being pushed by some allies would be stricter than existing law in numerous states. It was seen as a potential political liability amid ongoing fallout over the overturning of Roe v. Wade by a conservative majority on the Supreme Court that includes three justices nominated by Trump in his first term. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content.

New York (CNN) — Nordstrom, the upscale department store chain, is going private in a $6.25 billion deal with its founding family. The retailer announced Monday that the family — Erik, Pete and Jamie Nordstrom — as well as Mexican department store chain El Puerto de Liverpool will acquire the remaining shares they don’t own, giving the family a majority ownership stake in the 123-year-old company. Shareholders will receive $24.25 in cash for each share, a roughly 42% premium of the stock based on the price on March 18, 2024 when speculation about Nordstrom ( JWN ) being taken private began. The stock fell 1% in in early trading and is up more than 30% for the year. “For over a century, Nordstrom has operated with a foundational principle of helping customers feel good and look their best,” said CEO Erik Nordstrom in a press release. “Today marks an exciting new chapter for the business. On behalf of my family, we look forward to working with our teams to ensure Nordstrom thrives long into the future.” Nordstrom’s founding family tried taking the retailer private in 2018 at $50 per share, but the board said that was too low of a price. Monday’s announcement marks a stunning decline from the company’s pre-pandemic peak with its stock worth roughly half since then. Like other department stores, Nordstrom has suffered from consumers cutting back on discretionary spending and shifting their habits to online rivals, like Amazon or rental startups such as Nuuly. In July, Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus announced a merger giving them more leverage to negotiate with luxury brands for lower costs. Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData, praised the change in a note writing that the family and their backers can “make necessary investments and changes away from the short term scrutiny of public markets.” “The family have the talent and ability to enact change as does El Puerto de Liverpool. They will likely run the business as a retailer rather than as some kind of financial play thing which, in our view, is a very positive thing for the long term health of the brand,” Saunders said. Department stores are at a crossroads, with rivals Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s coming under pressure from investors who think the companies’ real estate might be more valuable than its retail operations. Macy’s has, so far, shrugged off activist investors’ attempts at making major changes. The Nordstrom deal, which is expected to close in early 2025, has to be approved by two-thirds of the company’s common stockholders.A new tool developed at Western University is working to analyze case law on hate crimes, helping to aid in the reporting and prosecution of these crimes. Hate crimes are when a criminal offense is committed against a person or property that is motivated at least in part by bias, prejudice or hatred. A variety of factors can be considered when a person is the target of a hate crime, including race, religion, sexual identity, and more. This tool helps compile more than 15 years of case law in which judges have considered a subsection of the Canadian Criminal Code which requires judges to consider harsher penalties for hate crimes. Fourteen factors are identified by the tool which serve as hate crime indicators. This can include anything from whether derogatory language was used, to whether the location targeted was known to be frequented by a persecuted group – such as a place of worship. The implementation of this tool could inform not only the legal process, but also the training of lawyers and police. “This case law points to the significant negative impact of hate crimes on individuals and entire communities,” said Sunil Gurmukh, law professor and law’s assistant dean. “Determining whether a crime is motivated by bias, prejudice or hate can be difficult for police and Crown prosecutors alike, so it’s important to have a legal resource to help them do that.” The tool was developed in partnership with the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF). Not only is the tool one that could serve the legal system, but its development has helped inform the next generation of lawyers through it’s association with Western. “It really struck me that it wasn’t one specific group being targeted in these cases. There were a wide range of people from all kinds of backgrounds experiencing hate,” said law student Mona Soliman. “Reading these cases was really difficult, but it was important to me to contribute to a tool that helps increase access to justice.” Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.
