LOS ANGELES — The programs came calling, last winter, and Kyron Hudson deflected them all to his father. Between USC wide receiver Hudson and Oregon defensive tackle Keyon Ware-Hudson, father Chance reflected, he had about 12 teams reach out about the possibility of his sons entering the transfer portal. A few, Chance told the Southern California News Group back in the fall, were interested in package deals. And father Chance listened, because the money was hard to turn down. But Hudson, even through three years of inconsistent snaps and infrequent opportunity, didn’t want to leave USC. “His answer? From him?” Chance said in the fall, asked if Hudson thought about transferring. “Absolutely not. There was zero.” A breakout season and a reel of highlight catches later, though, and receiver Hudson has officially entered the portal following his redshirt junior season at USC, announcing his departure in a lengthy statement on X (formerly Twitter) . “I step forward,” Hudson wrote, “with gratitude for my time at USC and anticipation for what lies ahead.” In a room full of talented sophomores jockeying for snaps, the former Mater Dei High standout emerged as the most consistent veteran presence at receiver for USC in 2024, hauling in a career-best 38 catches for 462 yards in 12 games. His handful of one-handed grabs became a signature, a career-best 83-yard game against LSU and a couple of improbable catches helping USC earn an impressive Week 1 win . Even as game-to-game opportunities in Coach Lincoln Riley’s passing attack wavered, Hudson was a constant on the outside, racking up the most snaps of any Trojans receiver in 2024. Amid a late-season flu that swept through USC’s locker room down the stretch, Hudson had to receive an IV for fluids during the week of the Nebraska game, according to a source familiar with the situation. That Saturday, he still caught three passes for 35 yards and a touchdown. “I mean, he’s one of those guys – you just kind of, you can’t have enough of ’em in your program, that they just stay the course, they just keep getting better,” Riley said, earlier in the season, of Hudson. “There’s not, maybe always these massive jumps. But they’re always there. He always practices, he never misses anything, he never misses a rep.” That consistency, in turn, will be missed dearly in USC’s receivers room in 2024, with veteran leaders Hudson and Kyle Ford (out of eligibility) now moving on.

China's Huawei , blacklisted by the US, said on Saturday it is targeting 100,000 applications for its Harmony operating system in coming months as it seeks widespread help to achieve self-reliance. Assembly Election Results Live Updates Maharashtra Election Results Jharkhand Election Results Bypoll Election Results The tech giant has more than 15,000 applications based on Harmony that can meet consumers' basic needs, but the ecosystem requires more personalised and boutique apps, Huawei Chairman Xu Zhijun told a conference on Saturday. "Based on our analysis, for the Harmony ecosystem to be mature in meeting consumer needs, 100,000 apps is the milestone, and that is the key objective over the next six to 12 months," Xu said in a speech posted on the WeChat messaging app. The ambitious app target highlights the urgency in developing home-grown technologies as China faces elevated tensions with the US in areas ranging from trade to technology as President-elect Donald Trump threatens to be tougher on China. Huawei launched its operating system five years ago after US sanctions cut off support for Google's Android. The Shenzhen-based company, which sells products ranging from smartphones to laptops, later developed an open-source version of the Harmony system.

Assembly Election Results Live Updates Maharashtra Poll Results Highlights 2024 Jharkhand Poll Results Highlights 2024All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM)’s Mufti Mohammad Ismail Abdul Khalique who contested from Malegaon central in the Maharashtra Assembly elections won the seat by a mere 162 votes. Khalique won bagging 1,09,332 in a close contest against the Indian Secular Largest Assembly of Maharashtra party’s Asif Sheikh Rasheed with 1,09,257. Abdul Khalique is a prominent political figure and candidate representing the AIMIM from the Malegaon Central constituency in Maharashtra. Born on January 30, 1961, in Nayapura, he has established himself as a businessperson and social worker within the community. Khalique previously won the Assembly election in 2019, marking his first term as an MLA. He is known for his active involvement in local welfare initiatives and has garnered a reputation as a significant leader among the Muslim population in Malegaon. Despite his political contributions, Khalique’s career has not been without controversy. He faced multiple legal challenges, with several cases registered against him under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Mumbai Police Act. These include allegations related to public order offences. His father, Mohammed Abdul Khalique, has also been influential in shaping his political journey. The AIMIM has only won one of the 16 Assembly seats that the party contested in the Maharashtra elections. Former MP Imtiyaz Jaleel lost Aurangabad East after a close contest against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s Atul Moreshwar Save. He lost the seats by a mere 2161 votes. AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi congratulated Mohammad Ismail Abdul Khalique for his second consecutive win in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Taking on X, Owaisi thanked the people of Maharashtra and extended his wishes to other AIMIM candidates who lost the elections. “To our candidates, party workers and supporters, I urge you all to not lose heart and work with renewed resolve. If anything, the election results show that the people are looking for a genuine political alternative and that Majlis has established itself in Maharashtra’s politics,” Owaisi wrote on X. Congratulations to Mufti Ismail sahab on being elected as Malegaon MLA for a second time. I am thankful to the people of Maharashtra who voted for us in large numbers. To our candidates, party workers and supporters, I urge you all to not lose heart and work with renewed resolve.... He also extended wishes to Imtiaz Jaleel who lost the Aurangabad East seat to BJP’s Atul Moreshwar Save. While Save scored 93274 votes, Jaleel secured 91113 votes. “ @imtiaz_jaleel led the party in a tough battle & and his own seat wasn’t easy. But I am confident that he will bounce back again inshallah. Imtiaz Jaleel is not a typical politician, and I (am) sure that this is just a hiccup in his political journey,” Owaisi wrote on X.

Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic’s magnificent seven grand slam finals

Ex-UFC champion Eddie Alvarez has shed light on why Conor McGregor may find it challenging to break free from his UFC contract. McGregor has been absent from the UFC since 2021 when he suffered a broken leg in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier, having made history by becoming the first fighter in Dana White's promotion to hold two titles simultaneously after defeating Alvarez via knockout eight years ago at UFC 205. Following his loss of the lightweight title to McGregor, Alvarez parted ways with the UFC and made his debut in ONE Championship, although he's now collaborating with the Irishman once again as a key figure in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). "Realistically, I think he still has two fights left on his UFC contract," Alvarez shared with MMA Fighting on Wednesday. "I just know how difficult it is, especially when you're that valuable to a company. "I haven't been as valuable as Conor, but back when I was basically Bellator's main guy, I know how difficult it is to get out of those contracts. They don't make it easy." Alvarez is set to make his third appearance under the BKFC banner against Jeremy Stephens at KnuckleMania 5 in January 2025, and could well find himself up against McGregor further down the line following reports that the 36-year-old has been considering a move into the bare-knuckle promotion, which he became a part-owner of in April. However, the former two-division UFC champion recently announced on social media that he was in discussions with YouTuber-turned-WWE star Logan Paul for an exhibition boxing match, suggesting any UFC or BKFC commitment could be put on the backburner for now. Taking to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter ) earlier this month, McGregor announced: "I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambrani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon." However, just two hours after his post, Jake Paul - younger brother of Logan and Mike Tyson's opponent last month - claimed that McGregor had initially reached out to him for a potential bout. "Now it all makes sense why Conor McGregor and his management team have been desperately trying to get MVP to negotiate for a fight between us," Jake revealed. "As we told them privately and I'm now saying it publicly... The only way we're willing to explore me vs Conor in a pro boxing/MMA fight is if Dana White/UFC are at the table directly or make it clear they are okay with discussions." "The Problem Child" then added: "Conor is washed. Needs the Paul's. Logan [to win] by however he wants." Jake and UFC President White have been embroiled in a bitter feud for years, with White previously stating he would never collaborate with either of the Paul brothers. This puts McGregor in a tricky position, as he would need White's approval to box against either Paul, much like when he fought Floyd Mayweather. Commenting on McGregor's potential move into BKFC, Alvarez conceded that such a transition is unlikely. "For him, making the company hundreds of millions of dollars, I don't think it's going to be an easy exit," he remarked. "I think he still has two more fights with the UFC, and I'm not sure how old Conor is, but he's not getting any younger. It's going to be tough for him to fight those fights out and move onto another contract. So realistically, I don't know if he could fight BKFC, and if he does, it'll be maybe when he's older."

Lebanon security source says Rifaat al-Assad flew out of BeirutCLEMSON, S.C. — Earlier this fall, South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer got a text message from another SEC coach who had reached out to sing the praises of Beamer’s quarterback, LaNorris Sellers . South Carolina had just defeated then-No. 10 Texas A&M and Sellers had accounted for 350 yards of offense. Advertisement ‘You’ve got bleeping Superman playing quarterback back there,’” Beamer recalled his colleague writing. But on Saturday afternoon, as fans yelled with excitement and the band played in the Gamecocks’ tunnel, Beamer took it a step further. “LaNorris Sellers is the best player in the country,” Beamer said. “And all you media people that vote on the Heisman, if you’re not voting for that guy (to be) in the mix for the Heisman Trophy, you’re out of your minds. Name a player in the country that’s done more than that kid has this year.” Sellers may not be quite ready for a Heisman run this season, but there’s no denying the 19-year-old redshirt freshman has become must-see TV — especially as the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff has given more teams in the hunt increased national exposure in the regular season. Such was the case again Saturday, when No. 15 South Carolina (9-3, 5-2 SEC) beat No. 12 Clemson (9-3, 5-2 ACC) 17-14 in a road matchup that all but spoiled the rival Tigers’ Playoff hopes . GO DEEPER College Football Playoff 2024 projections: What now for Ohio State after Michigan upset? Sellers — a 6-foot-3, 242-pound escape artist from Florence, S.C. — dazzled, breaking through contact all afternoon. Even when it looked like the Tigers’ defense had him wrapped up, he still found a way to slip through and turn on the jets. And with the game on the line and South Carolina facing a third-and-16 with 1:18 to play, he ripped off a 20-yard touchdown run that ultimately won the game. In a game that will forever cement his legacy with the Gamecocks, Sellers finished the afternoon with 16 carries for 166 yards and two touchdowns, in addition to passing for 164 yards. Of South Carolina’s 431 yards of total offense, Sellers accounted for 330. He led the Gamecocks to only their second win in the Palmetto Bowl in the last decade. “LaMagic, LaComeback, whatever you want to call him — he’s a magician for sure,” junior defensive back Nick Emmanwori said. “LaHeisman, I think he’s a Heisman candidate. ... I’m glad he’s on my team.” Advertisement Sellers said his final run, with South Carolina trailing 14-10, was actually supposed to be a pass play. Clemson even had a spy on him to help mitigate the threat of him taking off with his legs. But as Sellers went through his first read, then his second, looking for a wide receiver, all he saw was green grass. “I just stepped up,” he said. “Why not take it when I’ve been doing it all game?” And into the end zone he went as some 81,000 Clemson fans sat in stunned silence. “I saw a great player in Sellers today. That was pretty special. There’s a couple you just tip your hat and you’ve gotta give him credit for that,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. “Just watch every game. It’s like a rerun. It doesn’t matter who they’re playing.” Indeed, Sellers has torched defenses all season long — rushing for 106 yards in the upset win against Texas A&M earlier this month and passing for 353 yards two weeks ago against Missouri . The best part? He still has three more years of eligibility after 2024 as South Carolina looks to build itself into a Playoff contender. Beamer now has more wins through his first four seasons than any other South Carolina coach did in the same time frame, including Steve Spurrier. Behind Sellers, the Gamecocks are on the way, and that’s great for college football as expansion creates more contenders. “He’s a competitor. He’s a warrior. Nothing bothers him. He’s so poised and doesn’t get too high or too low. He was just having fun out there playing,” said Beamer, who also made a case for his team being included in the Playoff despite three losses. “I get it. The committee has a really tough job. They have to choose the 12 best teams. I get it, we have three losses, I understand that. But it’s hard for me to sit there and say we’re not one of the twelve best teams in the country when you look at our strength of schedule, when you look at our wins on the road. “I don’t know if there’s a hotter team in America.” Or a hotter quarterback than Sellers for that matter.

CIA 'Greatly Complicated' Havana Syndrome Treatment: SenateThe Koramangala police nabbed a three-member gang for allegedly honeytrapping a 31-year-old businessman, abducting and robbing him of gold and cash worth over ₹5 lakh last Sunday. The victim, identified as Shiva from Nellore, befriended a woman on social media and went to meet her in Penugonda, Andhra Pradesh. From there, they went to Pavagada. While walking on the road, two men in a car waylaid them. The men forced Shiva and the woman into the vehicle. They took the duo to a house and assaulted Shiva before robbing him of his gold valuables worth ₹4.2 lakh. They later let the woman go but continued to torture Shiva demanding ₹10 lakh for his release. Shiva managed to negotiate and brought the amount to ₹5 lakh. He asked his friend Raghu to come with the ATM card to Majestic in Bengaluru. The abductors took the card, drove around the city, and withdrew the amount from an ATM in Koramangala. They released Shiva and warned him not to complaint. Shiva returned home scared and later realized that it was a ploy to trap him. He then lodged a complaint based on which the police tracked down the accused. Further probe is on.

For those trying to come to terms with a particularly tumultuous election year full of deep divisions, ideological invective and personal insults, guidance can come from a historical figure whose insights into American politics still prove useful. As I chronicle in my new book, “ ,” Will Rogers stood as perhaps the most influential commentator on public affairs in the United States a century ago. Born in Oklahoma, he had risen to fame as a cowboy humorist in vaudeville, the Ziegfeld Follies, Broadway shows and silent movies, and he earned public acclaim with his shrewd, folksy and witty observations on American life and values. By the 1920s, this led to Rogers wrote for over 300 newspapers, a stream of magazine articles and essays, and steady appearances on the national lecture circuit. He hosted and had . Rogers became the most beloved figure in America until his death in 1935. As I discovered in my research, a flood of eulogies appeared in newspapers and magazines following his passing. Typical was this one appearing in the Minneapolis Journal: “We all loved Will Rogers ... . Poets we have had, and philosophers, and humorists of note; but not one among them all so endeared to the heart of the whole people. None was ever mourned with such genuine grief, none will be so missed from our common life.” Especially fascinated by the nation’s politics, Rogers often trained his humor on its foibles and achievements alike. Three touchstones guided his commentary: a genial skepticism about politics as usual, a belief that politics must be subsumed within a broader perspective on life and, above all, an insistence that political discussants honor a code of civility. Rogers got most of his laughs from skeptical jabs at the system. He gleefully skewered the “bunk” of American politics, his favorite word for politicians’ shameless hypocrisy, bombastic rhetoric, inflated egos and shady deal-making. Both Democrats and Republicans stood guilty of peddling bunk. “You know, the more you read and observe about this politics thing, you’ve got to admit that each party is worse than the other,” Rogers said. “It is getting so that a Republican promise is not much more to be depended on than a Democratic one. And that has always been considered the lowest form of collateral in the world.” The Oklahoman poked fun at the political system’s grandiose rituals and fumbling institutions. He wrote of a that took three weeks and 103 ballots to nominate a nonentity: “In number of population the convention is holding its own. The deaths from old age among the delegates is about offset by the birthrate.” Rogers pilloried governmental ineptness in Washington, D.C. One year, when Congress reconvened after a round of egregious bickering and inaction, he joked, “Let us all pray: Oh Lord, give us strength to bear that which is about to be inflicted upon us. Be merciful with them, Oh Lord, for they know not what they do.” He claimed a simple approach: “I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.” Yet Rogers insisted that political disputation should be kept in perspective. He urged his fellow citizens to avoid politicizing every public issue and instead concentrate on more meaningful endeavors – family, friends, community and work. Despite the dire warnings of political zealots, he said, “There is no less sickness, no less Earthquakes, no less Progress, no less inventions, no less morality, no less Christianity under one (president) than the other.” But for Rogers, the ultimate guarantee of stability came from the mass of workaday American citizens seeking commonsense solutions to public problems. What Rogers called the “Big Honest Majority” lived simply and worked hard, wanted a good life for their families and pursued their own version of happiness. The average citizen, Rogers believed, had solid judgment and “was not simple minded enough to believe that EVERYTHING is right and doesn’t appear to be cuckoo enough to believe that EVERYTHING is wrong.” Finally, Rogers urged an approach to politics that was critical yet charitable, principled yet magnanimous. A connoisseur of civility, he insisted that political disputants were opponents, not enemies, and that contrary viewpoints deserved respect. The humorist set the example: “I haven’t got it in for anybody or anything.” Even as he pilloried politicians’ shortcomings, he never made it personal. Despite their faults, Rogers wrote, “the Rascals, when you meet ’em face to face and know ’em, they are mighty nice fellows.” He declared famously, “I’ve joked about every prominent man in my time but I never met a man I didn’t like.” Determinedly nonpartisan throughout most of his career, he leaned toward the party of Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression while jesting, “I don’t belong to any organized political faith; I’m a Democrat.” The cowboy humorist saw politics as an endeavor for genial discussion, not a blood sport. Rogers’ political axioms of healthy skepticism, perspicacity and civility remain useful guides for surviving even the most sordid electioneering. So when you hear overwrought partisans lamenting “the end of democracy” or “we won’t have a country left anymore,” take a deep breath and consider Will Rogers’ calmer, wiser approach to presidential elections a century ago. Remember his conclusion that America won’t be ruined “no matter who is elected, so the Politicians will have to wait four more years to tell us who will ruin us then.” Then you can adopt his sage advice that when dealing with a political adversary, “don’t disagree with him looking at him; walk around behind him and see the way he’s looking.”

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 5, 2024-- Smartsheet Inc. (NYSE: SMAR), the AI enhanced enterprise grade work management platform, today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2024. The section titled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below contains a description of the non-GAAP financial measures with a reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information. The section titled "Definitions of Key Business Metrics" contains definitions of certain non-financial metrics provided within this press release. In a separate press release issued on September 24, 2024, we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement ("Merger Agreement"), to be acquired by Blackstone and Vista Equity Partners. A copy of the press release and supplemental materials can be found on the "Investors" page of our website at and on the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, website at . Additional details and information about the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are available in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 24, 2024. Given the announced transaction, we will not be hosting an earnings conference call nor providing financial guidance in conjunction with this press release. For further detail and discussion of our financial performance, please refer to our third quarter 2025 Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2024, filed today with the SEC. To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures can be found in the accompanying financial statements included with this press release. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial metrics to assist investors in seeing our financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. We define non-GAAP operating income as GAAP operating loss excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, one-time costs associated with mergers and acquisitions, lease restructuring costs, and litigation expenses and settlements related to matters that are outside the ordinary course of our business, as applicable. We define non-GAAP net income as GAAP net income (loss) excluding non-recurring income tax adjustments associated with mergers and acquisitions and the same exclusions that are used to derive non-GAAP operating income. We define basic non-GAAP net income per share as non-GAAP net income divided by weighted-average shares outstanding ("WASO"). We define diluted non-GAAP net income per share as non-GAAP net income divided by diluted WASO. Diluted WASO includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options, restricted share units, performance share units, and shares subject to our 2018 employee stock purchase plan. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures as compared to GAAP operating loss and net income (loss), including that the non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy. We use the non-GAAP financial measure of free cash flow, which is defined as GAAP net cash flows from operating activities, reduced by cash used for purchases of property and equipment (inclusive of spend on internal-use software) and principal payments on finance lease obligations. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures and operational expenses, for investment in our business, share repurchases, and potential acquisitions. Free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate excess cash beyond what is required for our operations. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth. There are a number of limitations related to the use of free cash flow as compared to net cash from operating activities, including that free cash flow includes capital expenditures, the benefits of which are realized in periods subsequent to those when expenditures are made. We define annualized recurring revenue, or ARR, as the annualized recurring value of all active subscription contracts at the end of a reporting period. We exclude the value of non-recurring revenue streams, such as our professional services revenue, that are recognized at a point in time. We use ARR as one of our operating measures to assess the strength of the Company’s subscription services. ARR is a performance metric and should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue, and is not intended to be a substitute for, or combined with, any of these items. Both multi-year contracts and contracts with terms less than one year are annualized by dividing the total committed contract value by the number of months in the subscription term and then multiplying by 12. Annualizing contracts with terms less than one year results in amounts being included in our ARR calculation that are in excess of the total contract value for those contracts at the end of the reporting period. The value of subscription contracts that are sold through third-party resellers, wherein we do not have visibility into the pricing provided, is based on the list price. We use average ARR per domain-based customer to measure customer commitment to our platform and sales force productivity. We define average ARR per domain-based customer as total outstanding ARR for domain-based subscriptions as of the end of the reporting period divided by the number of domain-based customers as of the same date. We define domain-based customers as organizations with a unique email domain name. We calculate dollar-based net retention rate as of a period end by starting with the ARR from the cohort of all customers as of the 12 months prior to such period end (“Prior Period ARR”). We then calculate the ARR from these same customers as of the current period end (“Current Period ARR”). Current Period ARR includes any upsells and is net of contraction or attrition over the trailing 12 months, but excludes subscription revenue from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the dollar-based net retention rate. Any ARR obtained through merger and acquisition transactions does not affect the dollar-based net retention rate until one year from the date on which the transaction closed. The dollar-based net retention rate is used by us to evaluate the long-term value of our customer relationships and is driven by our ability to retain and expand the subscription revenue generated from our existing customers.
