Before transitioning into a long career as a respected character actor, Sutherland epitomized the unpredictable, antiestablishment cinema of the 1970s.

Dillon Gabriel was faced with a quandary when he arrived at Oregon this year. Gabriel had worn No. 8 at Oklahoma before transferring for his sixth season of eligibility. But in Eugene, that number had special significance because it had been worn by Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota. There were many similarities between the two: They were both dual-threat quarterbacks who had piled up accolades along with yards and touchdowns. Both hailed from Hawaii and were shaped by the island spirit. Mariota chose the No. 8 initially because of the number of Hawaiian islands. His helmet's facemask was formed in an 808, Hawaii's area code. So Gabriel took a leap of faith and texted Mariota to ask his permission. Mariota, now with the NFL's Washington Commanders, said yes. "You know, when youâre growing up and you have that kind of direct example, a guy from Hawaii, playing at a high level, at the DI level, and then you see him go to the NFL, itâs like you can see it, you can believe it,â Gabriel said. Gabriel has led the top-ranked Ducks (12-0, 9-0 Big Ten) through an undefeated season and on to the Big Ten title game on Saturday against No. 4 Penn State (11-1, 8-1) in Indianapolis. Gabriel â who played his first three years at Central Florida before joining the Sooners â became the all-time NCAA leader for total career touchdowns along the way and now has 183, including 149 via pass, 33 via rush and one reception. He's tied with former Oregon quarterback Bo Nix â now with the Denver Broncos â with an FBS-record 61 career starts. Ever humble, Gabriel is thoughtful about the arc of his career. "I think weâre in an interesting time thatâs all about results. And so many people talk about the process but arenât patient enough. I think if you look at my body of work, Iâm a guy whoâs eager and wants to get better but has had that time to develop and work in that way. I think you see it over time," Gabriel said. As a Duck, Gabriel has thrown for 3,277 yards and 24 TDs in 12 games. He's rushed for seven more scores. Mariota spent his three-year college career at Oregon, throwing for 104 touchdowns and running for 29 more. He was the Ducks' quarterback in the 2014 season, the last time Oregon advanced to the national championship game. "I mean, everybody would love to run out there with the experience that we have at quarterback right now,â Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. âAnd I think that experience shows up consistently every Saturday for us. More than anything, just the ability for Dillon to be calm within the chaos that exists in a football game, and being a great decision-maker and understanding the scheme.â The only other time Oregon finished the regular season 12-0 was in 2010, when the Ducks played for the BCS national championship. Among the team's victories this season was a 32-31 win at home over Ohio State and a 38-17 victory over Michigan at the Big House. The Ducks capped the season with a 49-21 victory over rival Washington , finishing 9-0 in their first Big Ten year. Gabriel threw for a pair of touchdowns and ran for another in that game. The Nittany Lions advanced to the conference title game with a 44-7 victory over Maryland on Saturday. They were helped by Ohio Stateâs 13-10 loss to Michigan in Columbus. Oregon has played the Nittany Lions just one other time, in the 1995 Rose Bowl. Penn State, led by Joe Paterno, won that one, 38-20. The winner in Indianapolis this weekend can secure a first-round bye in the expanded 12-team playoffs. Both teams are assured of a playoff berth even with a loss. On Tuesday, Gabriel added another honor when he was named Big Ten offensive player of the year. "Heâs earned the trust and the admiration of all his teammates and the coaches around him," Lanning said. "This guy prepares extremely hard. He is the calmest dude youâve ever been around on the field, which is impressive, but Iâm really proud of him and what heâs been able to do for this team.â Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 all the season.

AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-footballA melee broke out at midfield of Ohio Stadium after Michigan upset No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday. After the Wolverines' fourth straight win in the series, players converged at the block "O" to plant its flag. The Ohio State players were in the south end zone singing their alma mater in front of the student section. When the Buckeyes saw the Wolverines' flag, they rushed toward the 50-yard line. Social media posts showed Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson carrying the flag on a long pole to midfield, where the Wolverines were met by dozens of Ohio State players and fights broke out. Buckeyes defensive end Jack Sawyer was seen ripping the flag off the pole and taking the flag as he scuffled with several people trying to recover the flag. A statement from the Ohio State Police Department read: "Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation. During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games and will continue to investigate." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings on FOX said: "For such a great game, you hate to see stuff like that after the game. It's bad for the sport, bad for college football. At the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose, man. "You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes and four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. It's bad for the game. Classless, in my opinion. People got to be better." Once order was restored, officers cordoned the 50-yard line, using bicycles as barriers. Ohio State coach Ryan Day in his postgame press conference said he wasn't sure what happened. "I don't know all the details of it. But I know that these guys are looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren't going to let that happen," he said. "I'll find out exactly what happened, but this is our field and certainly we're embarrassed at the fact we lost the game, but there's some prideful guys on our team that weren't just going to let that happen." The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the incident. --Field Level Media
The only time Richard Cody Graham has been able to stay out of trouble from the law in the past 20-plus years was when he became a father. Crown attorney Kurt Froehlich told a Penticton court last week Graham has an âunbroken pattern of criminal conduct stretching back to the early 2000sâ and now has more than 60 criminal convictions after he pleaded guilty to numerous offences over several months. Graham, 41, dressed in jail-issued red overalls and speaking via videoconference from a holding cell, pleaded guilty to two counts of flight from police, failing to stop for police, dangerous operation of a vehicle, assaulting police, illegally removing a court-ordered monitoring device, among other charges. In late May of 2017, Graham was arrested in Penticton on warrants in the Lower Mainland for bank robbery and use of an imitation handgun in the commission of a criminal offence. After spending the past seven months in jail following an extended crime spree over several months dating back two years and getting clean and sober for the first time in a long time, Graham promised to stay clean, resume his relationship with his daughter and become a role model for her. âWhen my daughter was born, that was the biggest thing in my life,â Graham told Justice Greg Koturbash during a sentencing hearing. âI changed my life and I tried to get myself together. âThis is the biggest regret of my life. Iâve done all kinds of crime (but) losing my daughter has really kind of opened my eyes to not continue this lifestyle.â Court heard Graham now has more than 60 criminal convictions dating back over 20 years. He was given a 19-month jail sentence by Koturbash on Nov. 20. Because heâs served more than seven months in custody â he was given 1.5 days credit for every day spent in pre-trial detention â Graham will have to spend another 171 days behind bars before heâs released. Froehlich told the court Graham was found by RCMP officers in Kelowna in his sports car the afternoon of Nov. 21, 2023. When officers tried to arrest him, Graham started up the vehicle and drove it towards a police cruiser. He drove the vehicle through a ditch and also avoided a spike belt laid by police and took off at a high rate of speed and there was a short pursuit before officers decided to call off the chase due to public safety concerns, said Froehlich. Graham was eventually arrested in January of this year and spent a few weeks in jail before being released on strict conditions, including having to wear an electronic monitoring device, said Froehlich. He was living at a group home in Surrey, when it was reported âhe had cut off an ankle braceletâ monitoring device and left the group home on March 18, he said. While police attempted to track him, he wasnât found until April 8 when RCMP officers in Oliver noticed a vehicle they believed belonged to Graham outside a grocery store in Oliver, said Froehlich. Officers again tried to arrest Graham, who was in the vehicle with a woman, he said. An RCMP officer attempted to open the door to the vehicle and place Graham under arrest, but Graham closed the door, forced the woman outside the vehicle and jumped into the driverâs seat, he said. He put the car into drive and clipped the police cruiser, before taking off at a high rate of speed. Five days later, police were given notice that Graham might be staying at a hotel in West Kelowna the evening of April 13. When an officer approached the hotel room, he was told Graham had just left and was on foot. The officer saw him running, pursued him and eventually caught up to him and placed him under arrest. Before tackling Graham with other officers, Graham âlaunched himselfâ into one officer, forcing him to the ground. Police discovered Graham was in possession of a large quantity of controlled drugs and drug paraphenalia, said Froehlich. Graham has remained in custody ever since. Graham has an unenviable criminal record that now has more than 60 convictions, as well as a long record of Motor Vehicle Act convictions as well, including two previous convictions for dangerous driving and fleeing police, he said. Defence counsel Matthew James said his client grew up in a very dysfunctional family and turned to drugs and alcohol at an early age and this has played a significant role in his criminal lifestyle. Graham is an Indigenous man and his grandmother was a victim of the residential school system, he said. His biological father abused him, his siblings and mother and he also suffered other abuse at the hands of trusted family members, he said. He eventually went to live with his grandmother with his brother, but she overdosed when he was only 11 years of age and he had to witness that horrific incident, he said. The only time his client hasnât been in trouble with the law in the last 20 years was for an extended period of time from 2017, when his daughter was born, and until 2022, he said. Not only did he establish a good relationship with his daughter, he was working full-time in Kelowna and doing well, he said. However, he relapsed last year when the mother of his daughter cheated on him âand he spiraled out of control,â he said. After being incarcerated for more than seven months, Graham is again clean and sober and has a new perspective on life, he said. âWhere heâs at now is where he wants to be,â he said. âGraham is before the court with, as I noted, substantial childhood trauma. And whatâs important is to note that that is connected to the residential school systems and the intergenerational effects of it on his family, where that trauma stimulated his substance use, and through that, also his criminality.â His goal is to get out of jail, get a job and resume his relationship with his daughter, he said. âHe wants to be a positive influence in his daughterâs life,â he said. âHeâs shown in the past he can cease his criminal activity.â Koturbash said he would agree to the 19-month collective sentence, which will see Graham spend just under six more months behind bars. The two incidents of avoiding police by driving away at very high speeds could have resulted in tragedy, said Koturbash. âI take a very, dim view of people that flee from the police, especially in vehicles, because so many dangerous and unfortunate consequences can happen when situations like that arise,â said Koturbash. âThe sentences that are imposed have to be high enough to discourage you from ever considering doing that, or people from ever considering doing that going forward in the future.â Besides the jail sentence, Graham was prohibited from driving anywhere in Canada for three years following his release. Heâs also prohibited from owning or possessing any firearms or prohibited weapons for the rest of his life. After the sentencing hearing, Graham thanked Koturbash and returned to his cell.
PTIâs âfalse narrativeâ an attempt aimed at covering up embarrassment: Tarar
Trump has pressed for voting changes. GOP majorities in Congress will try to make that happen ATLANTA (AP) â Republicans in Congress plan to move quickly in their effort to overhaul the nationâs voting procedures, seeing an opportunity with control of the White House and both chambers of Congress. They want to push through long-sought changes such as voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. They say the measures are needed to restore public confidence in elections. That's after an erosion of trust that Democrats note has been fueled by false claims from Donald Trump and his allies of widespread fraud in the 2020 election. Democrats say they are willing to work with the GOP but want any changes to make it easier, not harder, to vote. Americans are exhausted by political news. TV ratings and a new AP-NORC poll show they're tuning out NEW YORK (AP) â A lot of Americans, after an intense presidential election campaign, are looking for a break in political news. That's evident in cable television news ratings and a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The poll found nearly two-thirds of Americans saying they've found the need recently to cut down on their consumption of political and government news. That's particularly true among Democrats following President-elect Donald Trump's victory, although a significant number of Republicans and independents feel the same way. Cable networks MSNBC and CNN are really seeing a slump. That's also happened in years past for networks that particularly appeal to supporters of one candidate. Israel strikes Houthi rebels in Yemen's capital while the WHO chief says he was meters away JERUSALEM (AP) â A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen have targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital of Sanaa and multiple ports. The World Health Organizationâs director-general said the bombardment on Thursday took place just âmeters awayâ as he was about to board a flight in Sanaa. He says a crew member was hurt. The strikes followed several days of Houthi attacks and launches setting off sirens in Israel. Israel's military says it attacked infrastructure used by the Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa, power stations and ports. The Israeli military didn't immediate respond to questions about the WHO chief's statement. Israel's plan to double the number of settlers in the Golan Heights is met with conflicting emotions EIN ZIVAN, Golan Heights (AP) â Earlier this month, Syrian leader Bashar Assad was ousted after nearly 25 years in power. Within hours, Israeli tanks rolled into the Golan Heights' demilitarized buffer zone in Syria created as part of a 1974 ceasefire between the countries. Days later, the Israeli government approved a plan to double the population of settlers in the Golan Heights. Israel seized the mountainous region from Syria in 1967, and most of the world considers it occupied Syrian territory. In the towns and kibbutzim of Israeli-controlled Golan, the news has been met with a mixture of skepticism, excitement and shock. Previous attempts to encourage more settlement in the Golan have received a lukewarm response. India's former prime minister Manmohan Singh, architect of economic reforms, dies aged 92 NEW DELHI (AP) â Indiaâs former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, widely regarded as the architect of Indiaâs economic reform program and a landmark nuclear deal with the United States, has died. He was 92. The hospital said Singh was admitted to New Delhiâs All India Institute of Medical Sciences late Thursday after his health deteriorated due to âsudden loss of consciousness at home.". He was âbeing treated for age-related medical conditions,â the statement added. A mild-mannered technocrat, Singh became one of Indiaâs longest-serving prime ministers for 10 years and earned a reputation as a man of great personal integrity. But his sterling image was tainted by allegations of corruption against his ministers. How the stock market defied expectations again this year, by the numbers NEW YORK (AP) â What a wonderful year 2024 has been for investors. U.S. stocks ripped higher and carried the S&P 500 to records as the economy kept growing and the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The benchmark index posted its first back-to-back annual gains of more than 20% since 1998. The year featured many familiar winners, such as Big Tech, which got even bigger as their stock prices kept growing. But it wasnât just Apple, Nvidia and the like. Bitcoin and gold surged and âRoaring Kittyâ reappeared to briefly reignite the meme stock craze. Holiday shoppers increased spending by 3.8% despite higher prices New data shows holiday sales rose this year even as Americans wrestled with still high prices in many grocery necessities and other financial worries. According to Mastercard SpendingPulse, holiday sales from the beginning of November through Christmas Eve climbed 3.8%, a faster pace than the 3.1% increase from a year earlier. The measure tracks all kinds of payments including cash and debit cards. This year, retailers were even more under the gun to get shoppers in to buy early and in bulk since there were five fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mastercard SpendingPulse says the last five days of the season accounted for 10% of the spending. Sales of clothing, electronics and Jewelry rose. Pope brings Holy Year and prayers for better future to Rome prison, a 'cathedral of pain and hope' ROME (AP) â Pope Francis is bringing his Holy Year to Romeâs main prison. Francis traveled to Rebibbia prison Thursday on a frigid morning. He knocked on the door to the chapel and walked across the threshold. It was reenacting the gesture he performed at St. Peterâs Basilica two nights earlier on Christmas Eve. The opening of the Basilica's Holy Door officially kicked off the Jubilee year. It's a church tradition dating to 1300 that nowadays occurs every 25 years and involves the faithful coming to Rome on pilgrimages. About 32 million people are expected in Rome in 2025. Why this Mexican American woman played a vital role in the US sacramental peyote trade MIRANDO CITY, Texas (AP) â Amada Cardenas, a Mexican American woman who lived in the tiny border town of Mirando City in South Texas, played an important role in the history of the peyote trade. She and her husband were the first federally licensed peyote dealers who harvested and sold the sacramental plant to followers of the Native American Church in the 1930s. After her husband's death in 1967, Cardenas continued to welcome generations of Native American Church members to her home until her death in 2005, just before her 101st birthday. What is known about a plane crash in Kazakhstan that killed 38 of 67 people on board The crash of an Azerbaijani airliner in Kazakhstan has killed 38 of 67 people on board. Azerbaijan Airlinesâ Embraer 190 was en route from Azerbaijani capital Baku to the Russian city of Grozny in the North Caucasus on Wednesday when it was diverted for reasons that arenât fully clear yet. It crashed while making an attempt to land in Aktau in Kazakhstan after flying east across the Caspian Sea. Officials in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Russia haven't commented on a possible cause of the crash pending an official investigation.

The hosts made their daily visit to deliver the public result to stars who were eagerly awaiting at the end of Wednesday night's show. However, a jungle cameraman accidentally got two stars 'mixed up' while millions watched at home. When Ant and Dec were revealing the news that Maura Higgins would not face the latest Bushtucker Trial, the camera focused on Tulisa Contostavlos sitting in camp. It then abruptly panned to Maura when the error had been realised by production. One viewer said: "Anyone else catch that mistake when they showed us Tulisa when they said 'Maura'." Another added: "Not the camera op getting Maura and Tulisa mixed up." "Why did they just show Tulisa when they were talking about Maura?", another asked. Someone else said: "I love when they make an error on I'm a Celeb, it just makes me laugh "'Maura it's not you', while showing Tulisa." Elsewhere on the episode, Tulisa was left disappointed when she returned from a Bushtucker Trial with five out of 12 stars. The singer insisted her campmates would be "devastated" and "crying inside". Tulisa struggled during Shock Around The Clock to answer general knowledge questions - and was heavily helped by Ant and Dec. She told the hosts: âWhen I was in there my brain just wouldnât function, it just went blank, I was just trying to survive.â i'm A Celebrity is back for its 24th series, with a batch of famous faces living in the Aussie jungle.

TRINITY Last Thanksgiving Day, Trinity teenager Caleb Dulin lay motionless in an intensive-care hospital bed, seemingly tethered to every flashing, beeping piece of technology in the room. With Caleb in a medically induced coma after a car crash nearly a month earlier that had left him in critical condition, the sophisticated equipment monitored, regulated and operated his bodily functions, from the bolt monitoring his brain pressure to the dialysis machine doing the job of his kidneys. The most critical of those instruments was the ECMO â extracorporeal membrane oxygenation â machine that kept Caleb alive by supporting his heart and lungs, which were too weak to function on their own. Without ECMO, Caleb wouldâve already been dead. The thing about ECMO, though, is that itâs intended as a short-term life-support device, typically used for a week or so. Although a patient can remain on ECMO for several weeks if necessary, the risk of complications rises with each passing day. By Thanksgiving, Caleb had already been on ECMO for three weeks, and it didnât appear doctors would be able to take him off the technology any time soon. From across the room, David and Shana Dulin could only watch and pray as their youngest son unconsciously fought for his life. Caleb had contracted pneumonia and was battling acute respiratory distress syndrome, a life-threatening lung condition. âIt was horrible,â David said. âOnce he got on ECMO, it was day-to-day and minute-to-minute. By Thanksgiving Day, it just didnât look good.â Then things got worse. On Thanksgiving, as a team was trying to place an arterial line, Caleb had a seizure and a small amount of bleeding in his brain. He survived the ordeal, but needless to say, it was not the happiest of Thanksgivings for the Dulin family. Calebâs scary journey began, appropriately, on Halloween â Oct. 31, 2023 â as he was driving home from Wheatmore High School that afternoon. As he drove along Finch Farm Road in Trinity, he crossed the center line, ran off the road, struck a concrete culvert and overturned. Investigators were unable to determine what caused Caleb, who was 16 at the time, to lose control of the vehicle. Caleb, now 17, has no memory of that day. His parents, however, remember it vividly. David, a training coordinator for the High Point Police Department, received a call from another Wheatmore parent who had driven past the accident scene and realized it was Caleb. âCalebâs been in an accident,â he told David. âYou need to come now â itâs not good.â David rushed to his car and called Shana along the way to notify her. She had driven past the crash site but hadnât realized her son was involved. When she got turned around and headed toward High Point Medical Center â where Caleb was being taken â she wrecked, too, although it was not serious. Caleb had a traumatic brain injury and was soon sent to Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. The prognosis was grim. Doctors put him in a medically induced coma to help his brain heal. Within the first few days, though, Caleb developed pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Doctors put him on the ECMO machine, and he would stay on it for 51 days. During that time, either David or Shana â and often both â remained with their son around the clock. âWe were talking to him and played music for him,â Shana said. âWe prayed over him every night.â They also read him the countless cards, emails and texts of support sent from his Wheatmore classmates, from friends and other family members, and from members of the Dulinsâ church, Mount Zion Wesleyan in Thomasville. Support also came from Davidâs coworkers at the police department and from Shanaâs fellow teachers at Hopewell Elementary School in Trinity. Fundraisers were organized to help with the familyâs medical expenses. Despite the overwhelming community support, David remembers that time as some of the darkest days of his life. âIt got to the point where we had to decideâ whether or not to take Caleb off of ECMO, he recalled. âWe had prayed for him to live, and we had prayed for God to take him if that was His will. Finally, I prayed a specific prayer: âLord, your word teaches us that your sheep know your voice, but I donât hear you. Is it time to take him off ECMO?â Within 30 minutes, Caleb moved for the first time in, like, 50 days.â On Dec. 30 â two months after the accident â Caleb was removed from ECMO. A month later, he would leave the hospital and head to Shepherd Center, a rehabilitation facility in Atlanta that specializes in brain injuries. At Shepherd Center, he did inpatient physical therapy for nearly two months and outpatient therapy slightly longer. âHe literally had to relearn everything,â David explained. âSpeaking. Swallowing. Blinking. Walking. Talking. Breathing. Using the restroom. Taking a shower. Bathing himself. Combing his hair. Brushing his teeth. It was amazing to me how much his body had to relearn.â Caleb agreed. âI was like a baby being born again,â he said. âI couldnât do anything.â Caleb, who was already skinny before the accident, lost 30-40 pounds from being on a feeding tube, so he also had to try to regain some of that weight. Caleb remembers his rehab days as frustrating. âThe whole time, I felt like I was taking two steps back when I wanted to go forward,â he said. âI felt like I was never going forward.â That seemed especially true with the use of his hands. âI like to draw and play video games,â Caleb said. âIâm right-handed, but at first I could barely twitch my right hand, so that was scary. I was wondering if I would ever be able to draw again or play video games.â One thing that uplifted Caleb during his rehab occurred in February, when the student body at Wheatmore held a pep rally for him. With Caleb watching a livestream of the event from Atlanta, students cheered for him and waved posters of support. Caleb completed his outpatient therapy in late May and is quickly getting his life back to a sense of normalcy. In August, he returned to school at Wheatmore, where heâs now a junior. He has regained his ability to draw and play video games. He has also begun speaking at area churches, sharing his experience of what he believes God has done for him. âThe Bible says if God gives you a story, share that story with others,â Caleb said. âHe saved my life, so I want to bring praise to Him for that.â David and Shana share that sense of gratitude and looked forward to celebrating Thanksgiving this year. âWeâre thankful to God, and weâre thankful to the community for their overwhelming support,â David said. âWeâre especially grateful that we still have our son. He was in critical condition for Halloween, for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Yearâs, our 25th wedding anniversary and three of our childrenâs birthdays. So when I say weâre going to celebrate this holiday as a family, and for him to be doing as well as he is, ... yeah, weâre grateful.â Jtomlin@hpenews.com | 336-888-3579
