In the latest episode Bison, Pope, and Rooster dive into the tumultuous world of college football, tackling everything from scandals at the University of Michigan to the playoff system's inherent inequities. With a professional yet conversational tone, they explore the challenges facing college football today and what it means for the future of the sport. The Michigan Scandal The guys start with a shocking revelation about the University of Michigan, where co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss has been indicted for hacking into 15,000 student accounts to obtain compromising photographs of female students.  College Football Playoffs Pope highlights the controversial inclusion of teams like Alabama, who many believe didn't deserve a spot due to their inconsistent performance. The guys analyze whether teams from the Group of Five (G5) conferences, such as Tulane and James Madison, should be included in the playoffs. The conversation also touches on the trouble with proposed expansion. The podcast wraps up with a discussion on the future of college football under the changing regulations and the implications of NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals. The hosts are skeptical (to say the least) about whether the current system can adequately support fair competition, given the influx of talent and resources favoring certain programs.

So how does God decide who is a murderer?When God weights acts of murder, He doesn't go easy on those who kill very young and very little babies. He doesn't decree an intermediate condemnation for those who murder these very little ones not yet attached to their mother's womb because they only have "intermediate moral value."The murder of the very young or very old is not more or less evil based upon the pain others do or do not suffer at his loss. Man is not the measure of all things.God is. And what has God decreed concerning murder?Whoever sheds man's blood,By man his blood shall be shed,For in the image of GodHe made man. (Genesis 9:6)

Las primeras gafas con Android XR y Gemini llegan en 2026 para reducir el uso del teléfono. Incluyen Project Aura, modelos monoculares, binoculares y versiones ligeras hechas con Warby Parker y Gentle Monster  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Google presentó sus nuevas gafas con Gemini, Xreal, Samsung y Warby Parker. Estas gafas pueden mostrar mapas, traducir, grabar videos, guiar recetas y recibir videollamadas sin mirar el teléfono. Funcionan con Android XR y están pensadas para usarse a diario.  Google propone un cambio profundo en nuestra vida diaria con una familia completa de gafas inteligentes que funcionan sin necesidad de sacar el teléfono del bolsillo. En 2026 llegarán modelos con pantalla, versiones de audio, gafas monoculares, binoculares y una opción avanzada llamada Project Aura. Todas permiten ver mapas flotantes, recibir indicaciones paso a paso, atender llamadas, usar Gemini para identificar objetos y cocinar con recetas guiadas sin mirar el celular. Son parte del nuevo ecosistema Android XR, que incluye también mejoras importantes para el Samsung Galaxy XR. Estas gafas buscan que dejemos de mirar el teléfono cada pocos segundos. ¿Nos vamos a acostumbrar a recibir la información justo delante de los ojos?  Pero muchos se preguntan cómo vamos a confiar en estas gafas.  Google anunció que en 2026 tendremos varias familias de gafas inteligentes que van a trabajar junto con el teléfono, pero sin obligarnos a mirarlo. Las gafas usan Gemini, cámaras integradas, micrófonos y un sistema operativo llamado Android XR. Este sistema permite que las notificaciones del móvil aparezcan como pequeñas ventanas delante de nuestros ojos. Las gafas pueden mostrar direcciones en la calle, traducir textos en vivo, describir objetos, grabar fotos y enviar videollamadas. La idea es reducir la necesidad de sacar el móvil cada vez que necesitamos una instrucción o un dato. Las primeras demostraciones muestran recetas flotando en la cocina, indicaciones de mapas al caminar y respuestas rápidas de Gemini basadas en lo que vemos.  Google quiere que estas gafas cambien la forma en que vivimos, pero hay varios desafíos grandes que deben resolver. Uno de ellos es la privacidad, porque las cámaras integradas pueden generar preocupación entre las personas que nos rodean. Google agregó luces que muestran cuándo la cámara está activa y un interruptor físico que corta la energía del sistema para que todos sepan que no está grabando. Otro desafío es la duración de la batería. Algunos modelos, como Project Aura, usan un pequeño procesador en el bolsillo que se calienta y necesita energía continua. Otro punto es la aceptación social. Muchas personas todavía sienten incomodidad al ver a alguien usando gafas con cámaras. También hay dudas sobre la dependencia del teléfono y sobre qué tan rápido vamos a entender los gestos que controlan las aplicaciones.  Google está trabajando para que el uso diario de las gafas sea cómodo y natural. Las versiones de audio permiten hablar con Gemini sin ver una pantalla. Las versiones monoculares muestran un pequeño recuadro con información básica como música, notificaciones y direcciones. Las versiones binoculares añaden profundidad para ver detalles en 3D. Y Project Aura, desarrollado con Xreal, agrega una pantalla más grande para juegos, varias ventanas de trabajo y una experiencia parecida a un cine personal. Todas estas opciones quieren que dejemos de mirar el teléfono cada pocos pasos y usemos la vista y la voz para interactuar con la tecnología. Google también formó alianzas con Warby Parker y Gentle Monster para que las gafas sean cómodas, livianas y compatibles con recetas ópticas. El objetivo es que cualquier persona pueda usarlas sin sentir que lleva un aparato extraño. Google anunció todo esto durante The Android Show: XR Edition, donde también confirmó nuevas funciones para el Samsung Galaxy XR, como PC Connect para traer la pantalla del PC al visor, un modo de viaje para usar el casco en aviones y Likeness, un avatar fotográfico que refleja nuestros gestos en videollamadas. En las demostraciones, las gafas mostraron funciones muy parecidas a lo que ya hacen los móviles, pero de forma más cómoda: un mapa aparece al bajar la mirada, Gemini responde preguntas sobre los objetos que vemos y las videollamadas flotan delante de nosotros. CNN mostró cómo las gafas pueden convertir una foto de una sala en una escena de nieve usando un modelo llamado Nano Banana. The Verge explicó que Project Aura no es un accesorio, sino un pequeño headset disfrazado de gafas. Android Authority reveló que Google prepara tres modelos distintos, con y sin pantalla. CNET y PCMag destacaron que las gafas monoculares funcionan con notificaciones del teléfono sin necesidad de nuevas apps. Y Reuters confirmó el trabajo conjunto con Warby Parker para modelos livianos con salida en 2026.  Google presentó gafas que trabajan con Android XR para reducir el uso del teléfono. Hay modelos de pantalla, de audio, monoculares, binoculares y la versión avanzada Project Aura. Todas usan Gemini para dar información en la mirada.

This Day in Legal History: Lee Harvey Oswald ShotOn November 24, 1963, two days after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, the nation watched in shock as Lee Harvey Oswald—the alleged assassin—was gunned down on live television. The shooter, Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby, entered the basement of the Dallas police headquarters and fatally shot Oswald as he was being transferred to the county jail. The killing unfolded in front of journalists, cameras, and law enforcement, searing itself into the American consciousness and further fueling public distrust in official accounts of the assassination.Though Ruby claimed his act was motivated by grief and a desire to spare Jacqueline Kennedy the ordeal of a trial, his actions raised immediate concerns about the adequacy of security in high-profile cases. Oswald's death eliminated any opportunity for a public trial, which would have offered a transparent legal accounting of the events in Dallas. Ruby was later convicted of murder, though his conviction was overturned on appeal before he died of cancer in 1967.The legal ramifications of Oswald's televised murder were broad and lasting. It led to reforms in detainee protection, prompted scrutiny over media access in sensitive law enforcement operations, and spotlighted the vulnerability of chain of custody and judicial process in emotionally charged cases. The event also highlighted the need for careful separation between law enforcement procedures and the media spectacle surrounding them. Ruby's case prompted legal scholars to revisit the balance between a defendant's right to a fair trial and the public's right to observe proceedings.This legal flashpoint helped set the stage for subsequent debates about pretrial publicity, venue changes, and judicial instructions to mitigate media influence on juries. It also foreshadowed a new era where courtroom access and high-profile criminal justice collided in an age of mass media.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit will hear arguments in a press freedom case between the Associated Press (AP) and President Donald Trump's administration. The case centers on whether the White House violated constitutional protections by restricting AP's access to presidential events after the agency refused to adopt Trump's preferred term “Gulf of America” instead of the long-recognized “Gulf of Mexico.”In April, a federal judge—appointed by Trump—granted a preliminary injunction in AP's favor, requiring the administration to restore the agency's full access. However, the appeals court later paused that ruling while it considers the government's challenge. The Trump administration argues that news organizations do not have a constitutional right to “special access” to areas like the Oval Office.AP's lawsuit, filed in February, claims the restrictions are retaliatory and violate the First and Fifth Amendments. The case has drawn attention for its potential implications beyond journalism, touching on the broader question of whether the government can punish speech that conflicts with its messaging. The administration has defended its actions as part of a general press policy rather than targeted retaliation.The conflict escalated after Trump signed an executive order to rename the Gulf, which AP chose not to adopt due to its editorial standards. The White House then limited the agency's access and removed AP and Reuters from the regular press pool. AP has framed the case as critical to preventing government coercion of the press.US appeals court to rule if Trump can ban AP from Oval Office | ReutersNewly unsealed court filings allege that Meta Platforms shut down internal research after discovering evidence that Facebook use caused measurable harm to users' mental health. In a 2020 internal study, dubbed “Project Mercury,” Meta partnered with Nielsen to examine the effects of Facebook deactivation. Users who left the platform for a week reported lower levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and social comparison—results the company allegedly found troubling enough to halt further study and dismiss as tainted by public bias.Despite internal acknowledgment that the findings were valid, Meta did not publish the results and later told Congress it could not quantify harm from its products. The lawsuit—filed by U.S. school districts against Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, and Google—claims the platforms concealed known risks from users, parents, and educators. Plaintiffs also allege that Meta's safety features were deliberately underdeveloped, and that high thresholds for user removal allowed exploitative behavior to persist unchecked.Among the more serious accusations: Meta allegedly deprioritized child safety concerns in favor of platform growth, suppressed internal safety testing, and allowed human trafficking accounts to remain active until repeated violations were flagged—up to 17 times. Plaintiffs say Meta and other companies also tried to buy favorable public positioning by sponsoring child advocacy groups, such as TikTok's internal brag about its influence over the National PTA.Meta has denied the allegations, calling them misleading and based on selective quotes. The company says it has robust teen safety measures and that accounts involved in trafficking are now removed upon first report. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for January in federal court.Meta buried ‘causal' evidence of social media harm, US court filings allege | ReutersThe Trump administration is moving forward with plans to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education and relocate its functions across six other federal agencies, including Labor and Health and Human Services. According to multiple sources familiar with the effort, senior officials and department directors have been required to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), an uncommon move for a civilian agency without a national security mandate. These agreements are reportedly being used to limit information sharing as the reorganization proceeds behind closed doors.Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced the restructuring this week, framing it as a way to “end federal micromanagement” while still supporting education through other agencies. Some staff have already transitioned to new posts, and more are expected to relocate by January. However, specifics on the timeline and scope of the overhaul remain vague, even to congressional oversight committees and education advocates.Critics argue the administration is sidelining Congress and the public in what they call an opaque and potentially destabilizing shift. Senator Patty Murray called the effort “sabotage,” citing the lack of transparency and collaboration. Meanwhile, McMahon has reportedly met with lawmakers and urged Congress to formalize the changes through legislation, though no formal bill has yet been introduced.US Education Department requiring non-disclosure agreements in Trump reorganization, sources say | ReutersIn a deep-dive investigation, FOIAball uncovered how UCLA Athletics appears to have routed large sums of money intended for football player NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals through a tax-exempt charity—Shelter 37, run by the co-founder of the school's official NIL collective, Bruins for Life. This maneuver may have allowed donors to receive tax deductions for contributions that ultimately compensated athletes, despite recent IRS rulings stating such collectives do not qualify for charitable status.Emails obtained through public records show that UCLA development staff actively coached donors to send checks to Shelter 37 while explicitly designating those funds for Bruins for Life, the school's NIL program. These emails often discussed timing, amounts, and communication with the charity's leadership to ensure the money was redirected as intended. In several cases, UCLA staff reassured donors that contributions through donor-advised funds (DAFs)—normally restricted from supporting private benefit—could be routed to Shelter 37 and still benefit athletes.After the IRS began denying charitable status to NIL collectives in 2023 due to private benefit concerns, most programs shifted to non-deductible donations. But UCLA's workaround relied on Shelter 37's 501(c)(3) status to continue offering donors deductions, despite Shelter 37's own filings showing the vast majority of its funds in 2024—$3.6 million of $4.8 million—were raised for UCLA football NIL purposes. By contrast, it spent only $200 on scholarships for at-risk youth, its purported mission.Legal experts, including yours truly, told FOIAball that this could constitute fraudulent behavior, noting that charities must exercise control over their funds and serve the public interest—not act as pass-throughs for private benefit. UCLA officials, when asked for comment, did not address the specifics. Meanwhile, Shelter 37's president denied improper coordination but acknowledged the charity paid players to appear at events, an arrangement experts say still violates nonprofit law if the real intent is athlete compensation.How UCLA used a friendly charity to get tax-free NIL money This is a public episode.

In years past, a successful craftsman would hire a boy to serve as his apprentice. The apprentice might make many mistakes at the beginning, but as he took the instruction of the craftsman to heart, his work began to look more like that of his master. As we grow into the likeness of our Lord Jesus Christ, we will understand how to avoid many common mistakes in our prayer lives and learn how to pray more like the Master Himself. Tune in to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible to hear how we grow into His likeness. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/791/29?v=20251111

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. – Philippians 2:5-7

This lecture discusses key ideas from the medieval Christian philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae, 1st part, question 27, "The Causes Of Love", and examines his discussions in article 3, which centers on whether and how likeness (similitudo) is a cause of love, particularly between similar people.

James Oliver, the founder of Atlas protein bars joined host Greg Glynn for a podcast discussion to share his entrepreneurial journey and business and his development of Atlas Bars. Clean-Label Food Entrepreneur's Journey James shared his journey of starting Atlas, a company focused on clean-label food products, inspired by his interest in nutrition and athletic performance. He explained how his curiosity about nutrition, particularly the conflicting information available, led him to dive deeper into understanding food science. James also discussed his athletic background, which included football, lacrosse, and endurance sports, emphasizing the importance of proper nutrition for performance and recovery. Athlete-Focused Nutrition Journey James discussed his journey of creating Atlas, a nutrition company focused on providing protein bars with balanced nutrition for athletes and active individuals. He explained that while sugar is not inherently bad, it is often overconsumed by sedentary individuals, but is necessary for athletes during high-intensity activities. James shared his personal motivation for starting Atlas, highlighting his extensive experience as a consumer of protein bars and his willingness to take a risk after graduating from Tufts University. Entrepreneurial Growth and Adaptation James shared his entrepreneurial journey, starting with selling bars from his parents' dining room and later funding his company through driving for Uber while training for ultramarathons in Boston. He described how he balanced Uber driving with business development, visiting gyms to sample his bars. James revealed that his company has been in business for 7 years and has gone through significant growth phases, reaching over a million dollars in sales when he was 23. He emphasized the importance of continuous evolution and improvement in business, comparing it to the mindset of athletes who must constantly adapt and progress to stay ahead. Adapting Products to Market Trends James and Greg discussed the importance of positioning products in response to market trends, similar to how athletes adapt to their competition. James emphasized the significance of authenticity in partnerships, particularly in the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) market, and suggested focusing on genuine product users who can genuinely endorse the product. They also touched on the potential for college athletes to promote products, highlighting the new opportunities presented by NIL. Atlas Bars Online Sales Strategy James explained that Atlas Bars are primarily sold online through their website and Amazon, with plans to expand retail presence once the company reaches a larger size. He noted that getting products onto store shelves is relatively easy, but removing them once there is much more challenging due to the overwhelming number of products consumers face. Greg encouraged listeners to check out Atlas Bars as a low-sugar, high-protein option, particularly athletes seeking such products.

Title: Level-HeadednessScripture Reading: Ephesians 4:21-24 Series: The “L” Fruits of JesusNotice: This message interviews one of Grace 242's covenant partners about the sketch he made of Jesus. View those images here. Like the character Riley in the movie Inside Out , every human has emotions, feelings, and attitudes; they are part of the human experience. But how do we ensure these emotions are healthy? This sermon, part of "The L Fruits of Jesus" series, explores the fruit of level-headedness.This message examines Level-Headedness through three "L"s:The Lordship of Level-Headedness: This explores what it means to place our attitudes, feelings, and emotions under the lordship of Jesus Christ. It examines the two "ditches" churches often fall into: replacing scripture's authority with feelings or removing emotions from discipleship entirely, which can lead to being spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature.The Likeness of Level-Headedness: Looking at Ephesians 4:24, this "L" discusses what it means to be "created to be like God." While God has emotions, He is impassible (His state doesn't change). Jesus, however, fully shared the human emotional experience to redeem and restore the image of God in us. In this section, Pastor Bill contrasts depictions of emotionless Jesus with a sketch that Bob from Grace 242 did. Those images may be viewed here.The Labor of Level-Headedness: This section provides practical application based on Ephesians 4:22-24. We are to "throw off" the old nature, "put on" the new, and let the Spirit "renew our thoughts and attitudes." The key question is whether we are submitting our emotions to the Master or letting our emotions master us. The goal is not to be emotionless , but to direct our emotions for God's glory.

Dear friends,Welcome again to Two Ways News. Working with my brother makes it a bit of a family concern.

In this sermon Pastor Billy Dupree reminds us of the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. This power is in us and we are changed when we are baptized by the Holy Ghost. Act in faith and know that it's in His power and not our own. Jesus is coming back, so don't let the enemy take away from you what God has for you.

By Ray Roberts - It is written that God said “let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness…” (Gen. 1:26). Male and female He created them. Jesus said to His disciples, if you have seen me you have seen the Father. There's a difference between image and likeness. Listen and read along to see how God sits as a

The "What's On Your Mind" crew tackles a mix of sports frustration and political analysis. The episode kicks off with the hosts lamenting the Minnesota Vikings' latest loss, focusing heavily on the offensive line struggles and Carson Wentz's lack of protection. They dive into whether the team was "outcoached" and joke about the possibility of convincing a retired Jason Kelce to join the team. Shifting gears, the hosts discuss a pre-taped interview with Senator Kevin Cramer. Topics include the government shutdown, the energy sector, and North Dakota's role in national defense, particularly the transformation of Minot and Grand Forks Air Force Bases to counter threats from China. They also touch on Cramer's relationship with Donald Trump and a theory that US agriculture could "grow our own way out" of economic issues. Senator Cramer provides insight from his meeting with President Zelensky's chief of staff, discussing Trump's view of foreign policy through an economic lens. Finally, former NDSU and Wyoming coach Craig Bohl, now head of the Coaches Association, joins the show to discuss the major issues in college athletics, primarily the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) mess and the transfer portal. Coach Bohl highlights the exploitation of young players by predatory agents and the threat to the academic mission of college sports. He advocates for a national registration and salary cap for agents and a potential "buyout" system to compensate schools that develop players who transfer. Plus, the host gets his prediction for the NDSU vs. South Dakota football game.
