The people who run the College Football Playoff took a shot at something similar last season, staging the first of their semifinal games on a Thursday afternoon at 1 p.m. ET. That day happened to be New Year’s Eve. MORE: Predicting every single bowl game winner The reaction from many in the media was so vicious you’d have thought someone underinflated the footballs: “Dumb.” “Terrible.” “Mess.” “Joke.” Those words were all employed to describe the contesting of the CFP on New Year’s Eve....

Traders and arbitrageurs speculate feverishly about which company will be the next target of a voracious private equity firm. (Last week, the buzz was all about Macy’s, for example.) The speculation isn’t random: Private equity buyers like Cerberus and the Blackstone Group seek companies with certain distinguishing characteristics. These include (but are by no means limited to) the following: a stock that has been beaten down recently, allowing the buyer to get the deal done on the cheap; an underlying business with healthy margins that generates lots of cash, which will be needed to service the debt incurred in a buyout; a valuable brand and a long operating history that serve as ballast; little or no existing debt so that the new owners can borrow heavily to pay themselves dividends or to pay down the debt raised to acquire the company....

It’s also just the sort of place where he’ll fall in love with a thoroughbred beauty (Amy Smart) and discover there’s more to life than listening to the Allman Brothers. All coming-of-age stories tell essentially the same story. If they rise above cliche–and “Outside Providence” does, several contrived moments aside–it’s because they play telling variations on an old theme. Whether it’s Tim giving his girl a double roach clip for a Christmas present, or the convincing way Baldwin and Hatosy navigate their ambivalent feelings toward each other, the movie gets a lot of the details right....

On Monday, shark biologist John Chisholm shared some gruesome images of the incident, which occurred in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. “Several white sharks sighted today off MA including one enormous individual feeding on a dead humpback whale. The two others seem tiny in comparison. One of the smaller ones is towing a recently deployed tag,” Chisholm posted on Facebook. The biologist told Newsweek that the largest of the white sharks he saw measured more than 17 feet in length....

But as the need to go out and interact with ‘real life’ has posed significant problems for Pokemon GO players and non-Pokemon trainers alike, there may be a solution in a new Grand Theft Auto 5 mod that brings Pokemon to the streets of Los Santos.

Players now have many options to hustle in the open world of Los Santos. One such option is purchasing an Auto Shop introduced last summer with the LS Tuners update. It can generate revenue for players and gives them various things to do. However, with so many other business ventures available in the game, one could wonder if it’s still worth having it.

With new heists set to arrive before the year is out, now seems as good a time as any to look back at GTA Online’s existing heists and the rewards for completing them....

Some who have got the game early have been sharing their own footage of what the game actually looks like during play. These have been uploaded to places like Reddit and YouTube....

RELATED: 90s Horror Movie Twists That Stand The Test Of Time Considering how central this form of media has become to a global audience, film hasn’t been with humanity for all that long. The last hundred years have been turbulent ones, however, and it’s interesting that movies have been here to record even just a sliver of it. Here are a few movies that either recorded history or made it, and generated a lot of controversy upon release....

7 Big Trouble In Little China Director John Carpenter is a master of the strange and unusual, and his works starring Kurt Russell are all legendary for various reasons. Big Trouble In Little China was Carpenter’s way of spoofing many of the martial arts action movies of the time, and making fun of the “white savior” ideas that other filmmakers had about those films. Jack Burton is a truck driver who gets mixed up in a battle against an ancient sorcerer called Lo Pan in Chinatown....

In this article, let us look at the greatest Indian Test XI of all time. Openers: 1.Sunil Gavaskar Gavaskar will go down as the greatest opener ever in the history of Test Match cricket. Also known as the ‘little master’, Gavaskar was the first Indian batsman to scale peaks in Test match cricket. He was the first batsman to breach the 10000 run barrier and when he bowed out from the game in 1987, he retired as the highest run-scorer and century maker....

The 18-year-old will carry the torch once it has been lit at a special lighting ceremony, which will take place in Ancient Olympia Sep 29.

The Greenbrier, one of America’s most iconic old courses, was devastated by a massive storm weeks before the 2016 tournament, but the course recovered for last year’s event. Though the field doesn’t boast a large quantity of big names, the event itself has been renamed A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier, which should make for a special week.

How to Create a Greeting Card With Photoshop To make a landscape oriented card, you must create a document that is portrait oriented, and then fold it in half. The image is on the front cover, but the text is on the inside, so you will run the paper through the printer two times. You can even add a logo and credit line to the back of the card. Create a new document in Photoshop with the following settings: Enter a name under Preset Details....

“You have no say of where you end up. And I think that helpless kind of feeling where you don’t have any control over your final destination is very interesting.” In a recent interview in which Olsen promoted his startup initiative FANCHEST, the 12-year veteran and 3-time Pro Bowler had some words of wisdom for this year’s draft class. “Don’t dive into the weeds of mock drafts and rumors, because that’s all that they are....

Neither did my minister husband. Twenty-three years later I still remember how I seethed when he gently suggested, in his most sympathetic manner, that my issues with mortality were the real cause of my anger, not the idea that I could never have another child. I was in no frame of mind to have him tell me what I was feeling. I said I needed him to be my husband—not a minister....
