All-Star forward Khris Middleton -- officially listed as probable -- is expected to make his season debut Friday at the Boston Celtics . Middleton has been recovering from double ankle surgery over the summer and after missing the first 21 games of the 2024-25 season, coach Doc Rivers and his Milwaukee teammates welcomed him back in style. Doc welcomes a new member of the team. 😂 pic.twitter.com/vZLVfthLC4 Middleton's extended absence has been somewhat confusing, as the team's external messaging ahead of training camp had been that his return was imminent. While that didn't mean he would be ready for Game 1 of the regular season, it's been rather unexpected that he's missed the first 21 games so far. When Middleton addressed the media for the first time this season on Oct. 31, he said, "I feel good, just not good enough to play." He said there had been no setbacks in his recovery up to that point, suggesting that perhaps he was being extremely cautious in approaching his return to the game. And given that Middleton has dealt with his fair share of injuries over the years, that makes sense. But now, after an extended time of preparation to return, it appears Middleton is finally ready to suit up for the Bucks again, and the timing couldn't be better. Milwaukee started the season rough, going just 2-8 in their first 10 games. But have since dug themselves out of that hole to go 9-2 over their next 11 games and have moved up in the latest CBS Sports' NBA Power Rankings . They're now 11-10 on the season, which in what has been an incredibly weak Eastern Conference is good enough for fifth right now. Milwaukee is trending in the right direction behind the tandem of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, who have seemed to figure things out in Year 2 of their partnership. Lillard is back to his efficient ways after a down season, shooting 45.1% from the field and 37.7% from deep while averaging 26 points and 7.5 assists. Antetokounmpo, though, is the central reason the Bucks have swung their early-season troubles in the opposite direction. Without Middleton, Giannis is putting up a career-high 32.6 points, which currently leads the league in scoring. On a nightly basis, he's willing the Bucks to victories, and without his efforts, Milwaukee would be in a far worse position than it is now. The addition of Middleton should aid in taking some of the offensive load off Antetokounmpo's shoulders. Middleton gives the Bucks another reliable scorer next to Giannis and Lillard, someone who can play with or without the ball in his hands and a guy who will only boost Milwaukee's fourth-rank 3-point attack this season. Middleton's struggled to stay healthy in the last two years, but Milwaukee is hoping that with this extended absence, he just took to get prepared to return both physically and mentally, it will be the thing he needs to return to his All-Star ways.

Before you ask; they bring the boom. That's what they do. You might have noticed kids talking about Costco more than usual. Maybe they yell an emphatic "BOOM!" or "DOOM!" after eating, or start making the "rizz face" at you. That would be the result of three viral stars known to the internet as A.J., Big Justice and the Rizzler. As wild as the nicknames might sound, the three viral TikTok stars have shown up all over social media and beyond in 2024. After their viral Costco-related videos and "BOOM or DOOM" food reviews, A.J. and Big Justice have been bringing the "Boom" beyond TikTok to mainstream media. After releasing a song, "We Bring the Boom," their dance has become a popular celebration for college football players , with even Lebron James and son Bronny James seen doing the dance before a Los Angeles Lakers game. The Costco guys often team up with TikTok sensation "The Rizzler," a kid most famous for his " Rizz Face" expression, which is a mewing gesture . The three have made public appearances together on multiple occasions, including an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Here's what to know about A.J., Big Justice, and the Rizzler. Who are Andrew "A.J." Befumo Jr. and Eric "Big Justice" Befumo? A.J. Befumo, 48, is a graduate of Seton Hall University currently living in Boca Raton, Florida, according to his LinkedIn . Before the internet fame, Befumo used his Instagram and TikTok to promote mortgage broker American Financial Network, where he worked as a regional manager since 2021. He also started a family vlog channel " All Befumo'd up. " The channel has 1,560 subscribers and features family life vlogs of the Befumo family before their recent internet fame. On January 29, 2024, A.J. Befumo posted a TikTok with his son, Eric Befumo, 12, in Costco asking fans to guess if their order was over or under $300. The video received over 750,000 likes and 7.9 million views, the first of their many viral Costco videos. The father-son duo has made several public appearances after their success on TikTok and Instagram. In the "TikTok" sketch on Saturday Night Live on October 19, the two were impersonated by Marcello Hernandez (A.J.) and Chloe Fineman (Big Justice), singing their song "We Bring the Boom," while holding Costco Chicken Bakes. A.J. Befumo's entertainment experience predates his family vlog channel. Under the stage name “the American Powerchild Eric Justice," Befumo was a former professional wrestler who came out of retirement this year for an All-Elite Wrestling appearance on Nov. 23. “It’s amazing,” said Big Justice on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, when asked about working with his dad. “It’s not just working with my dad, it’s working with my whole family. Ashley, my mom, it’s so amazing that we accomplished all of this together.” Why are they Called "Costco Guys?" The Befumos started posting more Costco-related content after their initial success. On March 1, they posted their most viewed video on their TikTok , labeling themselves as "Costco Guys." The mega-hit received 59 million views and 4.5 million likes, propelling the Costco guys into stardom. Befumo also went viral for his famed love of the Costco Double Chunk Chocolate Cookie . Big Justice’s favorite option — the Chicken Bake, a pastry with chicken, cheese, bacon and Caesar dressing — also receives praise from fans. Their "BOOM or DOOM" food review of the Costco food court received over 30 million views and 2.5 million likes in March 2024. The two have extended their food reviews beyond the store, and review food with other family members (A.J. Befumo's daughter Ashley, and wife nicknamed "Mama Justice") and other creators on the "BOOM Meter ." In an interview on Fox Business's "The Claman Countdown" on Nov. 22, host Liz Claman revealed to A.J. and Eric Befumo that the Costco share price had hit an all-time high, helped by sales in the food court, specifically of the Chicken Bake. Who is "The Rizzler?" The 3-foot-11, eight-year-old sensation doesn't share any relation to the Befumo family. Christian Joseph, known to the public as "The Rizzler," has a TikTok account with his dad that first went viral when he wore an adorable Black Panther costume for Halloween. In a TikTok , he explained to his father filming why he couldn't climb a ladder. "Cuz mommy said it's dangerous," said the Rizzler. The child star first started calling himself The Rizzler on TikTok in April 2024 and collaborated with Big Justice on his TikTok in June . The Rizzler has been making the "Rizz Face" at various sporting events, including at Game 5 of the MLB National League Championship Series, to the crowd's delight. The New York Knicks posted a highlight ree l of the Rizzler at the Knicks celebrity game on Oct. 8. He had a collaboration with internet celebrities Logan Paul and KSI, sponsoring their hydration drink Prime in a TikTok. The Rizzler gave Jimmy Fallon a tutorial on how to properly make his signature "Rizz Face" during an interview on The Tonight Show.Parsons to Present at Investor Conferences
Mangaluru: The Central Arecanut and Cocoa Marketing and Processing Cooperative (Campco) stated that the World Health Organisation's (WHO) decision labelling arecanut as carcinogenic is ‘one-sided'. Campco has urged a reassessment of the decision. In an appeal, Campco demanded the central govt facilitate studies and submit reports through reputed institutions such as the Indian Council of Medical Research ( ICMR ), the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), the Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). Though arecanut was recognised for its Ayurvedic benefits, WHO categorised it as a cancer-causing substance. Campco considers it a unilateral decision, stated Campco president A Kishore Kumar Kodgi. He pointed out that arecanut holds a sacred place in Indian culture, and was historically acknowledged for its medicinal properties, such as easing respiratory and digestive issues. The WHO report has created significant distress among arecanut growers. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is a part of WHO, failed to disclose complete research data in its findings, raising suspicions about potential bias or manipulation of the report, Kodgi stated. Campco cited its own research, along with findings from various institutions, affirming that arecanut is not carcinogenic. Instead, arecanut possesses therapeutic qualities, he said.Six Buenos Aires restaurants you can go to on Christmas Day
