Month: January 2025

(This story was updated with new information)
New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day have passed, which means there are only a few games left in the college football season.
No. 15 Ole Miss takes on Duke in the Gator Bowl on Thursday, as two 9-3 teams from the SEC and ACC, respectively, battle for one of the better bowl trophies among the non-CFP matchups.
The game marks quarterback Jaxson Dart’s final collegiate game, as he leaves the Rebels as one of their most prolific quarterbacks ever. Dart threw for 3,875 yards with 25 touchdowns to six interceptions this season.
Meanwhile, Duke will be without starting quarterback Maalik Murphy, who announced his transfer to Oregon State after the regular season. The Blue Devils are expected to turn to Henry Belin to lead the offense against Ole Miss.
Due to the terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day, the Sugar Bowl was also postponed to Thursday, which means Georgia and Notre Dame will also be playing Jan. 2 instead of on the traditional New Year’s Day. The game was moved up to a 4 p.m. ET kickoff (3 p.m. locally in New Orleans) after it was initially reported to be a 24-hour postponement.
The winner of that game will go on to play Penn State in the Orange Bowl in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Here’s a rundown of the day’s college football schedule and scores, including how to watch the entire 2024-25 college football bowl season:

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — If you feel like your social media feed is flooded with ‘missing pet’ posts, you’re not alone.
The Tucson Action Team is a nonprofit working to help animals fight against animal neglect and cruelty.
“We need to change the culture and the way people feel about dogs,” said the founder of Tucson Action Team, Lara Paris.
“We go into schools and educate. We help people spay and neuter who can’t afford it. We match people with the right dogs. We intervene in abuse cases. Overall we advocate for better laws at the local and state level,” Paris said.
Paris explained they made a Facebook group last year in January and since then, over a thousand people have joined the group.
“I feel like we’re their voice. If we’re not here to be their voice, who will be? That’s why there’s a lot of abandoned dogs,” said one volunteer, Tanya Gutierrez.
Pets are considered to be personal property. Animal cruelty laws are in place to help protect animals.
“I don’t think dogs are just property by any means and those are some of the laws we’re trying to bring to the legislation,” Paris explained.
In Arizona, there is no limit to how many pets you can technically have. Both Paris and Gutierrez expressed concerns about that, especially after a recent animal neglect case that occurred in Three Points in December.
Hence, the Tucson Action Team is working on a permit to prevent people or organizations from having an excess amount of animals to a point where it becomes unhealthy.
“Every day I see missing pet posts online and it’s heartbreaking,” Gutierrez said, “people need to realize that pets are a responsibility and it’s on you to take care of them.”
“It’s important to look at how people are treating their animals because if they are fine abusing animals, more than likely they’re fine abusing people in their life as well,” Paris said.
Although it isn’t the case in every situation, the National Library of Medicinereports that violence towards animals is a strong predictor that the abuser may inflict violence on humans as well.
About three months ago the nonprofit started offering spay and neuter procedures to dogs for families that needed help affording it. Paris said they have helped over a hundred dogs already.
“We need to look at the people breeding dogs and ask them if they’re paying their taxes and utilizing the most safe procedures for their animals,” Paris explained.
On Saturday, Jan 25, the nonprofit is hosting a black-and-white bash. Food and drinks will be served and all proceeds will fund their spay and neuter clinics.
You can email tucsonactionteam@gmail.com if you’d like to volunteer or learn more about their upcoming events.

The cancer screening rate declined 39% during the COVID pandemic, according to a study published January 2 in Nature Cancer.
A team led by Richa Shaw, PhD, of the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, conducted a literature review to investigate the global scale and impact of COVID pandemic-related delays and disruptions on cancer services, including diagnosis, diagnostic procedures, screening, treatment, and supportive and palliative care. The review included 245 articles from 46 countries.
The group found the following regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic:
“Missing data from low-HDI countries emphasize the need for increased investments in cancer surveillance and research in these settings,” the group concluded.
