Lori Meibers remembers a young JD Vance who was curious about everything.

Meibers, his mother’s sister affectionately known as “Aunt Wee,” said Vance was a bright kid who always had his nose in a book. Even as a baby growing up in Middletown, she said, Vance’s Papaw nicknamed him “Fingers” because he wanted to touch and explore everything. That curiosity sparked ambition, a drive to propel himself to the Marines Corps, Yale Law School and eventually the U.S. Senate.

When Vance texted Meibers to announce he would be former President Donald Trump’s running mate, she wasn’t all that surprised.

“He’s young, he’s bright, he thinks outside the box,” she said. “He’s not one of these guys who will just follow suit because this is the way it’s been done for generations and generations.”

OXFORD — Ole Miss’ football season was marred.

Kentucky defeated the no. 6 Rebels 20-17 in their Ole Miss Conference opener on Saturday. Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said an SEC opponent would test the undefeated Rebels in a way their non-conference opponents couldn’t, and he was right.

The Wildcats led 13-10 late in the third quarter before the Ole Miss offense scored on a big play from receiver Tre Harris and the Rebels’ defense caved. With a late game-winning touchdown drive, Kentucky scored the Rebels’ game-winning field goal from 48 yards, which missed the left goal with 48 seconds left.

Ole Miss is now 4-1 and 0-1 in SEC play. It’s Kentucky’s (3-2, 1-2 SEC) first conference win.

What we know on Saturday:

Longboat Key’s reopening delayed due to discovery of gas leaks

Longboat Key Fire Chief Paul Dezzi said Saturday afternoon that plans to gradually reopen the island were stalled by the discovery of gas leaks.

“We just found out less than an hour ago that we have multiple gas leaks in the north end and we determined that we need to secure those before we do anything to develop the island,” Dezzi said.

Longboat Key authorities are working with a local gas company to isolate the areas. If officials can ensure it is safe to return to the island, Dezzi said they will move forward with the original plan: allowing city employees, business owners, property owners and homeowners associations to return by Saturday.

Meanwhile, Longboat police have closed access to Longboat Key from the north and south. Local officials are working with the Florida Department of Transportation to clear roads. Dezzi urged residents to exercise caution and patience when returning to the island as it will only be accessible via the south once it reopens.

“We won’t be able to get to Longboat Key via Bradenton Beach,” Dezzi said. We can only use the south end of Longboat.”

ESPN’s latest college football rankings are here after the network updated its FPI Top 25 following Week 5 of the season.

We had some exciting games on Saturday, especially down in Tuscaloosa, and some significant moves in the rankings. In addition to their love of movement, the top 10 teams also had to give up a bit in the second half.

After the fourth week of action, let’s dive into ESPN’s new FPI rankings.

Texas shined mostly with a 35:13 victory over Mississippi State, again led by Arch Manning as QB. This is still the top team in FPI.

Now it’s a bye week for the Longhorns. There they have two weeks to rest and prepare for Oklahoma and Red River. This could well include the return of Quinn Ewers.

Man, what a game and I don’t think we won’t be talking about it for a while. ESPN actually had the Crimson Tide ranked No. 2 and Georgia ranked No. 4 last week, the opposite of the AP poll.

It sounds like FPI was right considering the Crimson Tide won 41-34. Alabama nearly blew a 28-0 lead, but the last laugh was 17-year-old Ryan Williams’ score on a 75-yard touchdown.

Ohio State kept the train rolling and remained in the top three in FPI this week. The 38-7 win over Michigan State opened Big Ten play.

Jeremiah Smith threw five catches for 83 yards and a score and actually had one on the ground too! Will Howard threw for 244 yards and the team ran for a total of 185 yards. A balanced performance. Denzel Burke threw down an interception for an absolute team effort.

Had Georgia won, it would have stunned the college football world. Not stunned by the result, but by the comeback.

Trailing 28-0, Georgia took a 34-33 lead late in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, Ryan Williams happened and Georgia was left standing in FPI this week. College Football Playoff rematch? SEC Championship?

A week off was good for the Volunteers, they are 4-0 this season. Next up is a trip to Arkansas next week, but no game, no movement in the FPI.

Nico Iamaleava has 892 passing yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions. He was impressive completing 69.3% of his passes. However, don’t overlook running back Dylan Sampson: 69 carries, 449 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Here’s the surprise of the top 10: Ole Miss didn’t budge despite being upset by Kentucky on Saturday. No less at home!

While Kentucky suffered a massive setback in the FPI, the Rebels held steady after a 20-17 loss. Jaxson Dart looked human with 261 yards and just one touchdown. Henry Parrish Jr. was limited to 62 yards and a score on the ground. Tre Harris was great, though: 11 catches, 176 yards and the only score. But man, that was crazy.

Notre Dame moved up in the FPI this week after beating Louisville in the AP poll. The teams were tied in this ranking.

Riley Leonard opened up more room with 163 passing yards, two touchdowns, 52 rushing yards and a score on the ground. The 31-24 win was nice, but if they can use Jeremiyah Love as a focal point instead of 34 yards on the ground, this team will be really dangerous.

Penn State struggled this weekend, defeating Illinois 21-7 at home. However, the Nittany Lions have not changed in the FPI rankings.

The running game was great as Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton combined for 196 yards and two touchdowns. After a 7-7 tie in the first quarter, Penn State controlled the second half.

The last two games have seen a return to form for Oregon. Saturday? A 34-13 win against old and new Big Ten foe UCLA was just what the doctor ordered.

FPI moved them up one spot when Dillon Gabriel scored three touchdowns in the win. The Ducks are 4-0 against Michigan State in Week 6 on Friday night.

In the end, there was controversy surrounding Miami’s 38-34 win over Virginia Tech. Although it was a thriller, it looked like Kyron Drones threw a Hail Mary touchdown for the win and upset.

But after checking, there was no clear control and the receiver appeared to be out of bounds, nullifying the call. Miami won and improved to 5-0, but fell short in this week’s FPI.

ESPN FPI Top 25 Rankings after Week 5

11. USC (+1)
12. Louisville (-1)
13. Clemson (+1)
14. Missouri (-1)
15. LSU (+4)
16. Indiana (-1)
17. Oklahoma
18. Texas A&M
19. SMU (+7)
20. Kansas State (+12)
21. Boise State (+6)
22. Iowa State (+3)
23. Kentucky (+15)
24. Iowa
25. South Carolina (+4)

As you can see, there was a lot of movement in the back half of the top 25 FPI teams. Hell, look at the big jumps from Kansas State and Kentucky. Here’s to week 6!

Vihaan Samat is currently on cloud nine and for all the right reasons. After I played along on the side Ananya Panday In Call me Baethe actor is now gearing up for the release of the Netflix thriller CTRLwhich also stars Ananya. In an exclusive interview on Zoom, Vihaan revealed some interesting details about the film.

Vihaan Samat on CTRL

Revealing CTRL’s USP, Vihaan told Zoom, “CTRL can be very rooted and immersive. It is a slice-of-life film that is characteristic of many.” Vikramaditya Motwane Movies, so that tone was there.” He further added, “Ctrl is thought-provoking, immersive, very intellectual and will make you question what you know about the world.”

Talking about his experience of working with Ananya Panday, Vihaan said, “I went to school with Ananya. We were in different classes. From the beginning I found her to be very relaxed and relaxed. When I met her CTRL, She was equally approachable, friendly and down to earth. These first impressions remained. She’s a lot of fun to talk to, tells random stories and gets excited about things you don’t expect. It is truly a pleasure to work with her.

Talking about the way he chooses projects, Vihaan said, “I choose projects that challenge me. A project should have complex characters and a lot of thought behind them. I’m drawn to people who have real conflict, and not just for the sake of the project.” That allows me to do something different.

He also shared his attitude towards his career: “I told myself that I don’t want to have any regrets when I’m 80 years old and on my deathbed. I would regret it if I did anything else. I’ve given my life for this, and it has to happen that it’s out of my hands. But I’ll try my best to keep your head up when you’re feeling bad, but you have to endure it. You have to remind yourself every day that it’s just a bad day and tomorrow will be better.

When asked whether Mismatched was the turning point of his career, Vihaan said, “It was my first project and it became a hit on OTT. It was more of a starting point than a turning point. I was very happy and grateful. I knew it.” Yes, hello (This had to happen). It was a friendly, entertaining show that people enjoyed watching.”

$7,300 on DraftKings, $8,500 on FanDuel; against Ja’Sir Taylor

Rashee Rice has quickly become a true WR1 for the Chiefs. Despite an uncharacteristically slow start from QB Patrick Mahomes, the second-year pass catcher enters Week 4 ranked second among receivers in PPR rating while leading the league in receptions.

Rice and the Chiefs face a beatable Chargers secondary that has the sixth-most adjusted yards per target and the most yards after catch in the league since last season. According to PFF’s Strength of Schedule metric, they are the 13th best matchup for opposing receivers.

Rice has primarily opted for the slot this year, where he will face CB Ja’Sir Taylor in a matchup with an excellent matchup advantage of 86.4 per PFF. The Chiefs receiver is the seventh-highest pass-catcher on the DK main roster despite WR1 upside. Start Rice with confidence.

Rashee Rice gained 75 of his 110 yards after catch on 12 receptions on 14 targets. Rice also forced 5 missed tackles.

Rice currently leads all players in yards after catch (200) this season and leads all wide receivers in forced missed tackles (9).

$6,300 on DraftKings, $6,400 on FanDuel; against Jack Jones

The 1-2 Browns got off to a slow start to the year on offense, with QB Deshaun Watson picking up where he left off after an uninspiring 2023 season. This pick is more about the matchup and opportunity than anything else.

The Browns travel to Las Vegas this week in the fourth-best PFF matchup for receivers. Antonio Pierce’s team has given up the fifth-highest adjusted completion percentage to opposing receivers and ranks 29th in limiting yards after the catch.

Cooper is on the outside 81% of the time and will see about the same amount of time against CBs Jack Jones and Jakorian Bennett. PFF predicts a particularly lucrative mismatch when Cooper faces Bennett, giving Cooper a 91.8 matchup advantage.

The Raiders have fielded top-eight man coverage so far. Cooper has performed well against the man this year, posting a 27.1% target percentage against this coverage. Target Cooper as a contrarian pick in DFS this week.

$6,000 on DraftKings, $6,300 on FanDuel; against Byron Murphy

Don’t look now, but the Packers could have their number one receiver in Jayden Reed. The second-year receiver has led his team in yardage since last year and currently ranks eighth in touch rate (13.0%) among receivers with at least 10 touches in 2024. Reed leads the way Catch all starting receivers in both yards per reception (11.4) and yards per route run (3.69).

Next up, the Packers face the Vikings, who have surprised many with a 3-0 start and an improved defense eager to attack the quarterback. Reed comes alive against the Lightning — he had targets on three of Love’s five pressured pass attempts in Week 1, catching two of them for 96 yards and a touchdown.

Reed will primarily face CB Byron Murphy Jr., one of the NFL’s worst slot corners in coverage (41.6 PFF coverage grade). He has the best matchup on the field in this game and is a great price as the 22nd most expensive WR on the DraftKings main roster. Reed is a great GPP pick for DFS this week.

$5,600 on DraftKings, $6,200 on FanDuel; against Cam Taylor-Britt

Johnson came alive last week with Andy Dalton under center, catching 8 of his 14 targets (including 7 downfield targets) for 122 yards and a touchdown. He was by far Dalton’s favorite receiver, achieving a target percentage of 37.8% and an air yards percentage of 63.2%.

Johnson and the Panthers have a matchup this week with the Bengals, who just gave up 38 points to the Commanders on Monday night. This game is also expected to have a high score with an over/under rating of 47.5.

With the Panthers without WR Adam Thielen for the foreseeable future, Johnson should continue to have a secure base in cash games as Carolina’s top target.

$5,800 on DraftKings, $6,500 on FanDuel; against Sean Murphy Bunting

One of the NFL’s most underrated receivers for years, McLaurin is finally making a splash with QB Jayden Daniels under center. However, sportsbooks have not yet rated him accordingly in DFS, nor did the WR24 in DraftKings in Week 4.

McLaurin and the Commanders’ pass catchers have the league’s second-best matchup this week against the Cardinals, who rank in the bottom three in the NFL in PFF team coverage, defensive success rate and first down/touchdown rate allowed.

The veteran leads the league in air yards percentage with 56.4%. McLaurin’s outside tackle against CB Sean Murphy-Bunting should allow for more explosive plays and give the receiver a high ceiling in Week 4.

A long-standing feud between Google (GOOG, GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) is once again becoming public.

Google’s latest push came in a complaint filed with the European Commission on Wednesday accusing Microsoft of violating European Union antitrust laws.

Google said in a document shared with Yahoo Finance that Microsoft illegally exploited the licenses of its dominant enterprise server software “Windows Server” to force customers to stick with Microsoft for cloud computing.

Microsoft predicted that Google would “fail” in this case and said it had already addressed similar concerns from European cloud providers.

“As we have not succeeded in convincing European companies, we assume that Google will also not be able to convince the European Commission,” said a Microsoft spokesman.

The new dispute shows “this is a Cold War that has gotten hot,” Adam Kovacevich, CEO and founder of the tech policy advocacy group Chamber of Progress, told Yahoo Finance.

‘Scribbled’

The two tech giants have spent the past two decades battling for dominance in technologies ranging from online search and cloud computing to the markets for operating systems, gaming software, online advertising – and now artificial intelligence, or AI.

The feud began in the first decade after Microsoft settled a landmark U.S. Justice Department antitrust case that claimed the company had eliminated its competitors by making its browser free and defaulting its dominant Windows operating system.

A deal in 2002 opened the door to broader competition in the Internet browser software market and offered Google, then a startup founded by Stanford students Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the opportunity to enjoy a period of meteoric growth in the 2000s start.

Microsoft defended its regained territory in a series of videos, first published in 2011, in which Microsoft skewered Google with parodies that suggested it was inferior in quality and to Google’s rival Gmail service, Chrome browser and related software Data protection is lacking.

A video titled “Gmail Man” questioned Google’s ethics by accusing the company of mining every word in its Gmail customers’ private emails to target them with advertising.

In other videos titled “Scroogled” and “Googlighting” – a parody of the hit 1980s television series “Moonlighting” – Microsoft questioned whether consumers should trust Google to handle their private data.

In 2016, the companies reached a truce, agreeing to end each other’s regulatory lawsuits worldwide, as two new CEOs – Google’s Sundar Pichai and Microsoft’s Satya Nadella – took over.

The pact ended in 2021 as regulators in the US and EU increased pressure on both companies and Microsoft complained that Google was using unfair tactics to compete in online search and advertising.

“You brush your teeth and search on Google.”

Things got really uncomfortable last year during a high-profile antitrust case that pitted Google against the U.S. Department of Justice – a case that alleged Google illegally monopolized the online search market and had echoes of the case the DOJ brought in filed against Microsoft in the 1990s.

The most prominent witness to testify against Google was Nadella, who did not hesitate to take shots at his rival on the witness stand.

“You get up in the morning, brush your teeth and search Google,” said Nadella, emphasizing Google’s overwhelming dominance in the search engine market.

Nadella said Microsoft’s own search engine, Bing, failed to gain traction because Google negotiated for Google Search to have standard placement in browsers, desktops and mobile devices such as Apple’s iPhones and iPads, as well as Android-based smartphones from Samsung and others.

Nadella further described the imbalance as a “vicious circle” that he feared would worsen as AI developed.

Google lost the case after a judge ruled that its search business was an illegal monopoly. The decision now awaits a period of remedial action that could lead to the collapse of the Google empire.

Microsoft certainly could have benefited a lot from a Google defeat, Kovacevich said.

“You were probably the main instigator of the US Department of Justice’s antitrust lawsuit against Google,” Kovacevich said. “And the guilty verdict against Google probably benefits Microsoft’s Bing in particular.”

Microsoft is pursuing a similar approach in another antitrust lawsuit against Google, which is still in the first phase of negotiations. It argues that Google’s control over online advertising technologies has hurt the success of its Bing browser.

New dispute before the EU

It is unknown whether the EU will take up Google’s latest attack on Microsoft’s cloud computing rules.

Google argues that Microsoft charged customers a 400% surcharge to migrate their Windows Server licenses to a competing cloud service, while customers who chose Microsoft’s Azure cloud service could migrate for “essentially nothing.” .

Google is using the same type of “bundling” or “tying” claims as in the 1998 DOJ v. Microsoft case.

At the time, U.S. prosecutors alleged that Microsoft illegally monopolized the market for personal computing operating systems by using its Windows operating system to make its browser, Internet Explorer, available for free.

This move bundled the browser together with Windows, ultimately driving rival browser Netscape Navigator out of business.

Microsoft eventually had to open Windows to third-party software, paving the way for companies like Google to “interoperate” or run their browser and search software on Microsoft-operated computers.

Now, in the cloud computing market, Google argues that Microsoft “exploited dominance in one market to prevent performance competition in a separate, independent market,” according to the document shared with Yahoo Finance.
