The Cougars (8-3) resemble the squad that claimed the regular-season Big 12 title in their first year in the league last season as they head to Stillwater, Okla., to face Oklahoma State on Monday. Their balanced offense was on full display in an 87-51 home victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Dec. 21, with Emanuel Sharp (18 points), L.J. Cryer (17), Terrance Arceneaux (13) and Milos Uzan (12) sharing the load as Houston made a season-high 14 3-pointers. The offensive display provided a complement to the Cougars' usual brand of stifling defense and tenacious rebounding, and Houston coach Kelvin Sampson found it worth celebrating for a team whose shortcomings are too often overanalyzed. "You can't always just focus on things you've got to get better at," Sampson said. "You'll never focus on the things you're good at." Oklahoma State will represent a step up in weight class, with the depth and athleticism to challenge the Cougars' emerging offense. That comes as no surprise for the Cougars, who quickly became accustomed to the rigors of the Big 12, especially when the stakes are highest on the road. "Being able to get shots at the goal and taking care of the ball in the hostile environment is always going to be a challenge when you go on the road in this league," Sampson said. "That's what we'll be challenged with." The Cowboys (8-3) improved to 5-0 at home with their 86-74 victory over Oral Roberts on Dec. 22. Senior forward Abou Ousmane paired a season-high 19 points with a team-high seven rebounds in the victory, further validating the need for Oklahoma State to run more of its offense through its second-leading scorer. Ousmane averages 12.2 points per game for the Cowboys, second to Marchelus Avery (13.0). "It helps when we get him the basketball," first-year Cowboys coach Steve Lutz said of Ousmane. "We don't throw him the basketball enough. To his credit, he runs in transition, he seals for the most part darn near every time and our guards have to do a better job as they come across halfcourt of getting their head up and reading where the big is and (determining) can we get him the basketball. "That's going to be our quickest and best opportunity to score. We've got to continue to focus on throwing the ball inside to him." Oklahoma State enters conference play with momentum, having won four of its last five games. And while nonconference losses to Florida Atlantic, Nevada and Oklahoma proved disappointing, the setbacks showed the Cowboys have room for improvement. "We still have a lot of work to do," Lutz said. "We still have a lot of growth. I don't ever like to look ahead at the beginning of the season and say our record should be X and X. I try to focus more on the day-to-day progress of our team, and there are days where I think we make progress and days where we slip back a little bit. "We've got to continue with the process and get better and better each day." --Field Level MediaThe Christmas tradition has become nearly global in scope: Children from around the world track Santa Claus as he sweeps across the earth, delivering presents and defying time. Each year, at least 100,000 kids call into the North American Aerospace Defense Command to inquire about Santa’s location. Millions more follow online in nine languages , from English to Japanese. On any other night, NORAD is scanning the heavens for potential threats , such as last year’s Chinese spy balloon . But on Christmas Eve, volunteers in Colorado Springs are fielding questions like, “When is Santa coming to my house?” and, “Am I on the naughty or nice list?” “There are screams and giggles and laughter,” said Bob Sommers, 63, a civilian contractor and NORAD volunteer. Sommers often says on the call that everyone must be asleep before Santa arrives, prompting parents to say, “Do you hear what he said? We got to go to bed early.” NORAD’s annual tracking of Santa has endured since the Cold War , predating ugly sweater parties and Mariah Carey classics . Here’s how it began and why the phones keep ringing. It started with a child’s accidental phone call in 1955. The Colorado Springs newspaper printed a Sears advertisement that encouraged children to call Santa, listing a phone number. A boy called. But he reached the Continental Air Defense Command, now NORAD, a joint U.S. and Canadian effort to spot potential enemy attacks. Tensions were growing with the Soviet Union, along with anxieties about nuclear war. Air Force Col. Harry W. Shoup picked up an emergency-only “red phone” and was greeted by a tiny voice that began to recite a Christmas wish list. “He went on a little bit, and he takes a breath, then says, ‘Hey, you’re not Santa,’” Shoup told The Associated Press in 1999. Realizing an explanation would be lost on the youngster, Shoup summoned a deep, jolly voice and replied, “Ho, ho, ho! Yes, I am Santa Claus. Have you been a good boy?” Shoup said he learned from the boy’s mother that Sears mistakenly printed the top-secret number. He hung up, but the phone soon rang again with a young girl reciting her Christmas list. Fifty calls a day followed, he said. In the pre-digital age, the agency used a 60-by-80 foot (18-by-24 meter) plexiglass map of North America to track unidentified objects. A staff member jokingly drew Santa and his sleigh over the North Pole. The tradition was born. “Note to the kiddies,” began an AP story from Colorado Springs on Dec. 23, 1955. “Santa Claus Friday was assured safe passage into the United States by the Continental Air Defense Command.” In a likely reference to the Soviets, the article noted that Santa was guarded against possible attack from “those who do not believe in Christmas.” Some grinchy journalists have nitpicked Shoup’s story, questioning whether a misprint or a misdial prompted the boy’s call. In 2014, tech news site Gizmodo cited an International News Service story from Dec. 1, 1955, about a child’s call to Shoup. Published in the Pasadena Independent, the article said the child reversed two digits in the Sears number. “When a childish voice asked COC commander Col. Harry Shoup, if there was a Santa Claus at the North Pole, he answered much more roughly than he should — considering the season: ‘There may be a guy called Santa Claus at the North Pole, but he’s not the one I worry about coming from that direction,’” Shoup said in the brief piece. In 2015, The Atlantic magazine doubted the flood of calls to the secret line, while noting that Shoup had a flair for public relations. Phone calls aside, Shoup was indeed media savvy. In 1986, he told the Scripps Howard News Service that he recognized an opportunity when a staff member drew Santa on the glass map in 1955. A lieutenant colonel promised to have it erased. But Shoup said, “You leave it right there,” and summoned public affairs. Shoup wanted to boost morale for the troops and public alike. “Why, it made the military look good — like we’re not all a bunch of snobs who don’t care about Santa Claus,” he said. Shoup died in 2009. His children told the StoryCorps podcast in 2014 that it was a misprinted Sears ad that prompted the phone calls. “And later in life he got letters from all over the world,” said Terri Van Keuren, a daughter. “People saying ‘Thank you, Colonel, for having, you know, this sense of humor.’” NORAD’s tradition is one of the few modern additions to the centuries-old Santa story that have endured, according to Gerry Bowler, a Canadian historian who spoke to the AP in 2010. Ad campaigns or movies try to “kidnap” Santa for commercial purposes, said Bowler, who wrote “Santa Claus: A Biography.” NORAD, by contrast, takes an essential element of Santa’s story and views it through a technological lens. In a recent interview with the AP, Air Force Lt. Gen. Case Cunningham explained that NORAD radars in Alaska and Canada — known as the northern warning system — are the first to detect Santa. He leaves the North Pole and typically heads for the international dateline in the Pacific Ocean. From there he moves west, following the night. “That’s when the satellite systems we use to track and identify targets of interest every single day start to kick in,” Cunningham said. “A probably little-known fact is that Rudolph’s nose that glows red emanates a lot of heat. And so those satellites track (Santa) through that heat source.” NORAD has an app and website, www.noradsanta.org , that will track Santa on Christmas Eve from 4 a.m. to midnight, Mountain Standard Time. People can call 1-877-HI-NORAD to ask live operators about Santa’s location from 6 a.m. to midnight, mountain time.
Major spoilers for Arcane Season 2 lie ahead! Now that all three acts of Arcane 's second and final season are out amid the 2024 TV schedule , fans of one of Netflix's best shows are hungry for more content -- and it looks like we’re going to get it. Throughout the season, there were teases regarding how the franchise would shift its focus away from Zaun and Piltover, and the fantasy show's co-creator, Christian Linke, is discussing plans for more spinoff series. There's even one, in particular, that I'm most excited for. What The Arcane Co-Creator Said About Upcoming Spinoffs While speaking to Twitch streamer Necrit94 , Christian Linke talked about his team's process of creating the acclaimed show. He talked about the process of choosing champions and lore for the franchise. There are over 140 champions in League of Legends , 169 to be exact, each a drop in the bucket for the greater world of Runeterra. Each country also has its own individual stories, too. So, when asked how they choose, Linke said: We have a lot of data. We know which characters our audience like and play a lot. It takes quite some effort to understand the difference between people picking champions because they win, versus people picking champions because they like them. But we pay attention to that. So, we don’t just go with who’s popular because they win, but, where’s resonance, and how do you define resonance? But I'm very confident that we're looking at the right regions where there's a lot of fandoms, a lot of interest. Linke says the creative process mimics how someone who plays the game will go through different stints with characters. So it’s understandable that the showrunners will have other stories that interest them as well. Linke previously discussed spinoff concepts with CinemaBlend. Obviously, the EP -- who co-created the show with Alex Yee -- can't say too much about the future. But what he did say should get people hyped: I’ll give you a little something. I’ll tell you this. ... We are investing quite a bit in Noxus, Ionia and Demacia. We start really with character stories. We start really with character stories, I’m very confident that we’re investing in the right stories, because simply those were the answers we have seen in these threads. If you're familiar with League , then you know this is huge, as there are a lot of champions from those specific areas. There's also a considerable amount of lore surrounding these countries. Now, I just have to shout out one potential project that seems to be coming. The Arcane Spinoff I’m Most Looking Forward To And Here’s Why Throughout Arcane Season 2, fans were introduced to a group of mages from Noxus called the Black Rose. Their ties to Ambessa and Mel Medarda were highlighted, and that prompted some intrigue. The series finale saw Mel taking Ambessa’s forces back to Noxus and, at the same time, viewers saw a strange raven. So, with all this evidence, it’s clear that the action is moving to Noxus, which is exciting! That's especially because it looks like the team will be doing something very creative with the lore. The Black Rose's presence in Piltover was due to a desire to take down Ambessa as penance for a past transgression involving one of her children. That child was later revealed to be Mel, and it was because she possessed latent abilities as a mage. CINEMABLEND NEWSLETTER Your Daily Blend of Entertainment News I Always Wondered Why I Liked Arcane Without Having Played League of Legends; Co-Creator Christian Linke Explained It To Me Perfectly The three-eyed Raven also signifies an exciting prospect. On social media, those who play League immediately recognized this as a nod to Swain, another champion who is the Noxian grand general. The presence of the bird also has fans of the game already speculating how Fortiche is going to tackle Swain, given that he only gets his powers after being gravely injured during Noxus’ invasion of Ionia. Given that knowledge, it would mean Ionia would have already had to have been invaded. Per League lore, Noxus is given the weapons to invade Ionia by Singed, another champion that fans saw on Arcane and, as of now, Singed is still in Piltover. Singed did work with Ambessa and the Noxians, but there are still question in need of answering. Despite the number of unknown variables, I'm excited for what Christian Linke and co. have on the horizon, especially when it comes to Noxus. For now, use a Netflix subscription to stream all of the League of Legends -based show. You can also stream shows like Arcane if you need something to watch now that it's over.Dickey’s Barbecue Pit in Chillicothe, OH, Serves Up Smoky Flavors and Swinging Fun with New Golf Simulator
A video of a family taking in an abandoned cat after seeing their son's relationship with him has moved viewers on social media. Over the summer, TikTok user @travelfoodiemom and her family saw their "old neighbors" abandon their cat, Ryobi. Their hearts broke for the innocent feline whose world had been turned upside down. He tugged at their heartstrings: The cat would visit their home, sitting outside the door and wanting attention. But they were hesitant to bring the cat inside. This all changed when they noticed the special bond that had formed immediately between their son and Ryobi. Any time these two saw each other, it "lit up their day." Part of the December 1 TikTok video shows the son running over to the cat. The young child didn't scare him away. Surprisingly, the cat welcomed the attention as the kid gently gave him pets. Seeing their inseparable bond and knowing the weather was getting colder, the family knew there was only one thing they could do: bring him home. Ryobi immediately displayed his appreciation by making biscuits (or kneading) on the couch, a sign he felt at ease in his new forever home. In a follow-up video, the owner said the family brought Ryobi to the vet to get checked, and thankfully he is all healthy. They attempted to bathe him and will try again soon because he still has black crusties on his eyes. Otherwise, he's been receiving nothing but love and pets. He seems to be gaining weight and his coat is soft, according to the video. However, the family is quickly learning Ryobi is a bit picky. The mother is working to find wet food he likes to eat. Despite having a bed, he uses the table instead as his sleeping spot. She plans on getting him a cat tower to encourage him to stop sleeping on the table. "So funny how he's like, 'Oh, I'm gonna be picky and high maintenance now,' feeling like a king," the mother told Newsweek via TikTok. Viewer Reactions The heartwarming TikTok video has amassed over 413,100 views, 54,600 likes and 864 comments as of Friday. The caption reads: "Welcome home, Ryobi." "Your son was petting so softly. A match In heaven," wrote one person. A second said: "Ryobi's already putting in the overtime making those biscuits!" Another added: "Poor baby, he needed some TLC, thank you for taking him in, will make a good friend." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

The move means Ollie Pope – who will take the gloves for the first time in two years – will drop down three places to No 6, while captain Ben Stokes comes in at No 7. The 21-year-old Bethell has never batted at No 3 in his 20 first-class games for Warwickshire, which have produced a modest 738 runs at an average of 25. And he has batted at No 4 only twice. He will also be the first specialist batter to play Test cricket for England without a first-class hundred under his belt since Mike Gatting in 1978. The news completes a heady couple of days for Bethell, after he was picked up in the IPL auction by Royal Challengers Bangalore for just under £250,000. And it means he will have made his international debut in all three formats in less than three months, after breaking into the white-ball sides against Australia in September. For Pope, who last kept wicket in a Test at Multan in December 2022, the rejig spares him further scrutiny at No 3, where he has reached 30 only once in his last 12 Test innings. Jacob Bethell will bat at No 3 on his Test debut in Christchurch on Wednesday night Bethell made his T20 debut on September 11 this year and his ODI debut just eight days later Stokes, meanwhile, could be liberated by his move to No 7, after struggling for runs on his return to the Test side from injury in Pakistan. He will be one of four seamers in the side, along with Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse, with Shoaib Bashir the lone frontline spinner on a Hagley Oval surface that looked green 48 hours out from the start of the three-match series.
