The former Los Angeles Kings player and the Dancing With the Stars cohost tied in the knot in June 2017 , but by December 2019, they had sparked breakup speculation after Hough was spotted without her wedding ring.

Despite the breakup, Julianne’s brother Derek Hough has maintained a friendship with Laich. Days after their initial split, an insider told Us Derek did “ not have any animosity ” toward his sister’s ex, noting that he “saw that they were figuring out themselves as individuals and that they weren’t a match as a couple, but that doesn’t take away their love for Brooks as a person.” In August 2023, Laich was a groomsmen in Derek’s wedding party. Hayley Erbert , Derek’s wife , also shared her excitement for the couple, writing, “🥹🥹🥹 So happy for you two 🤍🤍.” In a September podcast interview with Jamie Kern Lima , Julianne said it was “so beautiful” to run into Laich and Davíðsdóttir at a wedding. In another part of the podcast, Julianne noted that her marriage was “greatest thing that could have happened to me at that time of my life” and helped her begin a healing journey.

These models were unveiled as a preview, with no immediate plans for public release. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that the o3-mini model is expected to launch by the end of January, with the full version of o3 to follow at a later date. Altman believes these advanced large language models (LLMs) have the potential to outperform existing ones, attracting both new users and investors. In preparation for the launch, OpenAI has invited researchers to apply for early testing of these models before they are publicly available. The application window for external researchers will remain open until January 10. Notably, OpenAI had previously released o1, initially known as Project Strawberry, in September of this year. Interestingly, the company appears to be skipping the o2 designation entirely, reportedly to avoid a potential copyright conflict with the UK-based telecommunications company O2. you all did incredible work here! https://t.co/vxHBwbvv2Z — Sam Altman (@sama) December 21, 2024 ALSO READ | Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses Update: Live AI, Live Translation And Shazam Showcased By Zuckerberg Earlier Finally Arrive OpenAI o3 Outperforms Its Predecessor The o3 model has reportedly set new benchmarks, outperforming its predecessors in multiple domains.

Additionally, the model excelled in AIME 2024, one of the most challenging math competitions, scoring an impressive 87.7 per cent on expert-level science problems. When tackling the most complex math and reasoning challenges, o3 solved 25.02 per cent of the problems—far surpassing other models, which struggled to exceed a 2 per cent success rate. While the o1 models demonstrated strong reasoning capabilities and handled intricate problems effectively, the upcoming o3 and o3-mini models promise to deliver even greater performance. At present, these new models are undergoing rigorous internal safety testing.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick feels a disconnect between defence and attack is affecting his team after their winless run in LaLiga stretched to three games with a 2-1 loss to Las Palmas on Saturday. Sandro Ramirez and Fábio Silva scored either side of a Raphinha strike as Las Palmas stunned Barça at the Olympic Stadium and ruined their 125th anniversary celebrations. Editor's Picks Barça legend Ronaldinho nets throwback free kick 1d Adriana Garcia Barcelona's 125th anniversary: Greatest XI, key moments in club's history 1d Sam Marsden Messi misses Barça as club marks anniversary 1d Sam Marsden and Moises Llorens Barça are now without a league win since Nov. 3 and they could be knocked off the top of the table if Real Madrid , four points back, win their two games in hand. "I believe in the players," Flick said in a news conference when asked about his side's dip in form since winning 11 or their opening 12 LaLiga games. "We have a good team. The matches like today, it happens, OK. When I started here, I said to the players 'no excuses.' We have to keep going as a team. "When you play as a team, or better than as a team, and everyone defends well, including in the offence, and is well connected, we can play and win against every team. "But if it's not, if some players are disconnected, then it's not good and we have to speak about that." Poor defending in particular led to Las Palmas' second goal, scored by Silva after Raphinha's 14th goal of the campaign had got Barça back into the game, but Flick was insistent it is a team problem. "When you see how the Las Palmas goals are [scored], we make some mistakes, but it was not only the last four, it started also in front," he added. "And we have to speak about that." The loss to Las Palmas comes after a draw with Celta Vigo , when Barça surrendered a two-goal lead, and a defeat at Real Sociedad . It is a run of form which is threatening to derail Barça's season and all the good work they did early on, but Flick says confidence remains high in the squad going into successive away games against Mallorca , Real Betis and Borussia Dortmund . "The players believe in how they can play football, how strong they can be," he said. "I say it again, we need connection and today it was not [there]. "We can do it. We have the quality. Today we have 70% possession and 27 shots. I missed that [efficiency] in front of goal to score the goals. "At the end it's two goals for them and one for us. We have to accept it. It's a big disappointment today." Flick also confirmed that Dani Olmo didn't come off the bench because he had a knock, adding that he should return for Tiuesday's trip to Mallorca. Marc Casadó will also be back from suspension for that game, while Lamine Yamal is in contention to start after returning from an ankle injury as a substitute against Las Palmas.None

Article content This is a Shark Tank or Dragon’s Den pitch that has many Canadians divided on whether they are in or out. Canada’s own Mr. Wonderful says he’s ready to jump a flight to Mar-a-Lago in Florida to start a conversation with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump that will help both countries be the economic powerhouse of the world. “I can be there within 48 hours,” Kevin O’Leary told the Toronto Sun on Friday. “As soon as I get an invitation, I will head down there.” Needless to say, the Shark Tank star and famous investor and financial commentator turned a lot of heads with his recent appearance on FOX News where he broached a new idea for Canada and the United States to consider moving forward with. There's 41 million Canadians sitting on the world's largest amounts of all resources, including the most important, energy and water. Canadians over the holidays have been talking about this. They want to hear more. What this could be is the beginning of an economic union. Think... pic.twitter.com/yp5PuLgxZJ No invitation to West Palm Beach so far. But he has taken some heat from critics over his idea – lots of it. “I am getting hammered on it, but I love it,” O’Leary said. “That is fantastic because it means people are talking about it.” Whether you love the idea of having discussion or hate it, many are aware things are not working well for regular Canadians right now. In Canada, it's pretty hard to be hated more than Justin Trudeau is, but I think Kevin O'Leary has pulled it off. Even before the reaction from those saying O’Leary is talking about selling out Canada, the former Dragon’s Den star was very clear that this would never be anything of the sort. I talked to him about that and he was adamant Canada will still be Canada but without the red tape that keeps Canadians from prospering. And finding a way to avoid a 25% tariff. “What this could be is the beginning of an economic union,” said O’Leary. “That’s what I was talking about. Think about the power of combining the two economies and erasing the border between Canada and the United States.” It would make Canada one of the most powerful economies in the world, O’Leary said. One currency, no border, no tariffs, no state or provincial taxes, one military, and all systems going in the same direction for the prosperity of all. Hard No. The biggest losers I have met in my life are those who have had some blessing in business and who think they are smarter than others. Kevin, you’re not that smart. You’re loud. And quite obnoxious. Keep your ideas to yourself. Ps- you pulled that stat on “half of... https://t.co/FabYaGzUyt “It’s not crazy,” he said. “(If we) end up with a common currency like they have in Europe where every Canadian would get a dollar at par our adversaries would (lose). We could crush them like cockroaches.” “We could have some much power: economic power, military power, resources power and everything. I am really attracted to this deal and I know many Canadians are too,” O’Leary added. All of this comes following Trump’s social media trolling of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, teasing that Canada could become a 51st state and that if he doesn’t remain as its “governor” perhaps Wayne Gretzky could take the job. Donald Trump says he urged Wayne Gretzky to run for prime minister in Christmas visit https://t.co/fw7ftydLWA O’Leary, however, says that underneath the rhetoric what is really happening is both sides understanding the world is changing in favour China becoming the dominate economy in the years ahead – something that could be thwarted with a new business relationship between the two best friends, Canada and America. “We are not talking about giving up Canada,” he said. “We are talking about an economic partnership.” That partnership could come with dollar parity, security arrangements, no trade tariffs of traditional border taxation or restrictions, and if Canadians wanted to set up a business in the U.S., they could just as much as Americans could do so in Canada. “It would be the introduction of an economic union,” O’Leary said. “With our resources, it would put both countries in the powerhouse position of the world.” The only thing O’Leary wouldn’t want to see is it be Prime Minister Justin Trudeau negotiating whatever comes next. This is carrying the ‘joke’ too far: the casual disrespect, the poor tax math, and ignoring that workers on both sides of our border will be better off if we work together. Time to call it out, stand up for Canada, and build a true North American partnership 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 https://t.co/BO4zEMrk0B “Trudeau has been such a bad manager,” said O’Leary. “We can’t rid of that guy fast enough ... nobody wants Trudeau to negotiate this deal. I don’t want him doing it for me, so I’m going to go to Mar-a-Lago” and “I’ll start the narrative.” He said he’s prepared to float the concept but would “let the next government” negotiate it. “I know I have no position of authority,” said O’Leary. Would you support Canada becoming the 51st US State? A. Yes B. No pic.twitter.com/6OhFXXwYMH But he knows Trump and he has been the Mar-a-Lago before – and they do speak the same language of business. “President Trump is a good guy,” said O’Leary. “He’s a transactional guy.” While many Canadians are not as enthusiastic as O’Leary is about such a concept, the Canadian businessman known all over the United States has heard from many who are. “There’s 41 million Canadians sitting on the world’s largest amounts of all resources, including the most important, energy and water,” he said. “Canadians over the holidays have been talking about this. They want to hear more.” Stayed tuned – because if Trump invites him down for a chat, perhaps there will be a lot of eyes and ears on this. “He is having some fun with this thing,” O’Leary said of Trump trolling Trudeau. “But it doesn’t mean there isn’t a good kernel of an idea here.” And it’s an idea he’s convinced will make Canadians a lot richer than they are currently under the carbon tax government, which has stifled Canada’s economy to a point when Canadians are finding themselves going to foodbanks and buried in debt. jwarmington@postmedia.comFACT FOCUS: Vermont ruling does not say schools can vaccinate children without parental consentEv Williams was lonely.

San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers Preview The San Francisco 49ers (5-5) head to Lambeau Field for a Week 12 showdown with the Green Bay Packers (7-3). The matchup this week is a rematch of last year’s Divisional Round. In that game, the San Fransisco 49ers won 24-21 after Christian McCaffrey scored from six yards out with one minute left on the clock. Much has changed for the Packers since that Divisional Round playoff game. Aaron Jones has moved away to Minnesota, and former Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs leads the backfield. Despite the Packers’ strong 7-3 start, they are just in third place in the NFC North behind the Vikings and the Lions. At 5-5, the 49ers might view this and the remaining games on their schedule as must-win games. With the 49ers winning four of the last seven meetings between the teams, they might enter with a little more confidence.

NEW YORK — A federal judge is signaling that Rudy Giuliani’s contempt hearing next Friday might not end so well for the former New York City mayor and onetime personal lawyer for President-elect Donald Trump as two Georgia election poll workers try to collect a $148 million defamation award they won against him. Judge Lewis J. Liman in Manhattan issued an order Friday in which he was dismissive of what he described as attempts by Giuliani and his lawyer to dodge providing information to the election workers’ lawyers. And he said the litigants should be ready at the contempt hearing to explain why he should not grant a request by lawyers for the two election workers that he make adverse inferences from evidence in the case that would put Giuliani’s Palm Beach, Florida, condominium in danger of being surrendered to satisfy the defamation award. The judge also said he may rule on the contempt request at the hearing. Giuliani has maintained that the Palm Beach property is his personal residence now and should be shielded from the judgment. He faces a Jan. 16 trial before Liman over the disposition of his Florida residence and World Series rings. Lawyers for the election workers filed the contempt request after saying Giuliani had failed to turn over a lease to his Manhattan apartment, a Mercedes, various watches and jewelry, a signed Joe DiMaggio shirt and other baseball momentos. The judge ordered Giuliani to turn over the items in October. Giuliani’s lawyers have predicted that Giuliani will eventually win custody of the items on appeal. A request for comment was sent to a lawyer for Giuliani, who was supposed to be deposed on Friday. The contempt hearing follows a contentious November hearing in which Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor, became angry at the judge and said Liman was treating him unfairly. Giuliani was found liable last year for defaming the two Georgia poll workers by falsely accusing them of tampering with ballots during the 2020 presidential election. The women said they faced death threats after Giuliani falsely claimed they sneaked in ballots in suitcases, counted ballots multiple times and tampered with voting machines.

International students urged to return to US before Trump inaugurationOTTAWA, Ontario — Josh Norris scored his second goal of the game with 41.6 seconds remaining to give the Ottawa Senators a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night. Linus Ullmark stopped 19 shots for the Senators, who had allowed at least three goals in each of their previous nine games. Ottawa (10-12-2) controlled play for long stretches but struggled to beat Ville Husso, who made 30 saves for Detroit (10-11-4). The Senators opened the scoring at 12:14 of the first period when Norris, a Michigan native, was able to get his own rebound and put it past a sprawled Husso. Detroit tied it at 6:15 of the third on a 4-on-3 advantage. Alex DeBrincat caught Ullmark moving for his 11th goal of the season. Takeaways Ottawa pulled this one out despite going 0 for 5 on the power play. Key moment The Senators appeared to take a 2-0 lead in the second on a power-play goal by Drake Batherson, but the Red Wings won their replay challenge for offside.
