AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Any Texas or Texas A&M player has heard the lore of the rivalry between the two schools, a grudge match that dates to 1894. But for more than a decade — two generations of college football players — that's all it has been: Ghostly memories of great games and great plays made by heroes of the distant past. That changes this week when one of college football's great rivalries is reborn. (10-1, 6-1) and No. 20 Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2) meet Saturday night for the first time since 2011, with a berth in the Southeastern Conference . “Guys that have been in my position and bleed burnt orange, they have not gotten to play this game,” said Texas fourth-year junior safety Michael Taaffe, who grew up in Austin. “Remember them when you step on Kyle Field.” For Aggies fans, who have carried the misery of Texas' 27-25 win in 2011, getting the Longhorns back in front of a frenzied crowd in College Station is a chance for some serious payback. “I was born and raised an Aggie, so I’ve been dreaming about playing in this game my whole life,” Texas A&M offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III said. Zuhn played high school football in Colorado, but his parents and grandparents attended A&M. At SEC media days back in August, Zuhn said his family would turn Texas gear upside down in stores. He keeps a picture of a longhorn in his room, hanging upside down, of course. “It should be the most amazing atmosphere that I’ve ever experienced,” Zuhn said. "I can’t wait for that, and I feel bad for Texas having to play in that." Texas players said they are ready. “That place is going to be rocking,” Texas senior cornerback Jahdae Barron said. “It's good to go on the road and play in hostile environments.” The Longhorns have overcome big and loud road crowds before. They won at Alabama in 2023. They won at Michigan and Arkansas, another old rival, this year. The Longhorns have won 10 in a row on an opponent’s home field. “When the hate is on us, we love it. We enjoy it,” Taaffe said. But some former Texas players say the current group has faced nothing like what awaits them in College Station. Playing at Texas A&M is more than just noise and a lot of “Horns down” hand signals. The “Aggie War Hymn” fight song calls for Aggies to “Saw varsity’s horns off." Beating Texas is their passion, said former Longhorns All-American offensive lineman Dan Neil, who won at Texas A&M in in 1995. He calls that win one of the best of his career. “I was done showering and getting ready to leave, and their fans were still standing outside the locker room screaming and throwing things,” he said. “The (Texas) players have no idea what they are walking into. They have no clue. No one on that team has walked into that stadium in burnt orange.” The rivalry broke up when Texas A&M left the Big 12 for the SEC in 2012. The Aggies have twice finished tied for second but have otherwise found little success there. Texas is in its first year in the SEC and has smashed its way to the top. Texas is the only SEC team with one loss this late in the season, which would make beating Texas that much sweeter for A&M. “The hype is definitely saying it's a rivalry. History says it's a rivalry, but for us, it's the football game we have this week,” Texas senior center Jake Majors said. “It's important for us to not let the environment, the game, get the best of us. ... I get to go out there and play not only for me and my team, but for the guys who came before me, so that's a true honor to have.” Even though the game hasn't been played since 2011, there has always been an element of the rivalry simmering under the surface, Texas A&M coach Mike Elko said. Elko is in his first year as the Aggies' coach, but he was the Texas A&M defensive coordinator under Jimbo Fisher from 2018-2021. “Even though it hasn’t been played, it just doesn’t feel like it’s ever really left the fabric. I really don’t think it’s as removed from the psyche as maybe it feels,” Elko said. “I think our kids are very much aware of what this is all about.” ___ Rieken reported from College Station, Texas. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

Jessica Tisch officially became the 48th police commissioner in NYPD history on Monday, as Mayor Eric Adams swore in the second woman ever to hold the post during a ceremony at One Police Plaza. Tisch, previously the sanitation commissioner, arrived at police headquarters in Lower Manhattan on Nov. 25 with her children in hand and a round of applause from attendees that included NYPD brass and previous top cops such as Dermot Shea and Raymond Kelly. The new commissioner does not have uniformed police experience but has served in civilian roles within the NYPD over the years—something Mayor Adams addressed before the ceremony. “I push back on anyone who believes she had to wear a police uniform to take the Police Department to the next level. She can wear any uniform and accomplish the task,” Adams said. Tisch arrived at police headquarters in Lower Manhattan with her children in hand and a round of applause from attendees that included previous top cops such as Dermot Shea and Raymond Kelly and police brass. Photo by Dean Moses Tisch placed her hand on her grandmother’s Bible and took the oath as the city’s new top cop. “I solemnly swear that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the position of police commissioner of the city of New York to the very best of my abilities,” Tisch said. Both cops and sanitation workers filled the audience. Following the ceremony, the new police commissioner pledged to lead the city in a safe return to normalcy. “My greatest hope is that together, we will return this noble undertaking, this job of high moral purpose, to a time and a place where you want your children, your grandchildren, your nieces, your nephews, to follow in your footsteps and become police officers,” Tisch said. “The police exist to eliminate fear and disorder, your cops, like generations before them, nobly put their lives on the line each and every time they put on that uniform to protect you and your families, and they do a damn good job of it. We will continue to do that most important foundational work to make you safe.” Tisch was sworn in by placing her hand on her grandmother’s bible.

Photo by Dean Moses Fourth new commish in three years While several of the aforementioned top cops were in attendance to witness the historic moment, several others were noticeably absent. Tisch’s forebear, Keechant Sewell, resigned from the position in 2023 after reported frustrations with Adams for allegedly micromanaging her and refusing to allow her to make her own calls. She was then followed by the first Latino top cop, Edward Caban, who only lasted about a year in office after becoming embroiled in a federal investigation and accusations that his twin were using police resources to shake down nightclub owners. Thomas Donlon then became interim police commissioner before Adams announced last week that Tisch would step into the role. Bill Bratton, who served as NYPD commissioner during the Giuliani and de Blasio administrations, expressed enthusiasm that Tisch will make a lasting impact during her administration of the NYPD — provided that Mayor Adams gives her the leeway to do so. “I think she’s going to do a great, if the mayor lets her,” Bratton said, according to ABC Bews. “I think it’s quite important that the mayor make it quite clear what he wants and gets out of the way and lets her do it. I think that was the issue with his previous three commissioners... and that’s why he had three previous commissioners.” Tisch arrived at police headquarters in Lower Manhattan with her children in hand and a round of applause from attendees that included previous top cops such as Dermot Shea and Raymond Kelly and police brass.

Factors driving this growth include changing dietary preferences due to urbanization and fast-paced lifestyles. According to an April 2024 report by the Food Institute, the "snackification" trend is gaining momentum, particularly in urban areas where longer commutes and heavier workloads make convenient, on-the-go food options more appealing. Approximately 67% of consumers now prefer smaller, more frequent meals, further fueling this shift toward convenience. Image: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Images/nutraceutical-ingredient-market60.jpg Artificial Intelligence (AI) is also transforming the nutraceutical ingredients market by accelerating the discovery and production of bioactive compounds, enhancing R&D efforts. For example, in April 2023, ADM (US) partnered with Brightseed (US) to leverage AI for decoding gut microbiome interactions, using Brightseed's AI platform, Forager, to develop advanced synbiotic products. This illustrates AI's role in advancing probiotics and prebiotics for precision health solutions. Nutraceutical Ingredients Market Opportunities [ https://www.marketsandmarketsblog.com/the-future-of-wellness-analyzing-the-nutraceutical-ingredients-industry.html]: Nutraceuticals as Alternatives to Pharmaceuticals The growing preference for natural, preventive healthcare solutions over synthetic drugs presents significant opportunities within the nutraceutical ingredients market. Vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, and probiotics are widely regarded as safer alternatives with fewer side effects, enhancing their appeal. As chronic disease rates rise and the global population ages, there is increasing demand for health-promoting products, particularly for conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and gastrointestinal disorders. By 2030, the World Health Organization estimates that one in six people globally will be 60 or older, further driving the demand for nutraceuticals as alternatives to pharmaceuticals. Regulatory support from bodies like the FDA and EFSA has also played a crucial role in promoting nutraceutical products, particularly regarding health claims, which encourages companies to innovate and expand their product offerings. Additionally, technological advancements such as microencapsulation and nanotechnology have improved the bioavailability and effectiveness of nutraceutical ingredients, helping them compete with traditional pharmaceuticals.

As a result, they are extensively incorporated into food and beverage products, dietary supplements, and animal feed. According to a December 2021 article by Glanbia PLC, Ireland, soy and dairy proteins continue to lead in global fortification volumes due to their cost-effectiveness and nutritional completeness. The demand for plant-based proteins like pea and wheat is also rising, driven by the increasing preference for non-GMO and allergen-free options. Consumer trends emphasizing sustainability, ethics, and dietary diversity are driving the adoption of plant-based proteins in North America and Europe. These proteins have become key components in products like sports nutrition and infant formulas due to their quick absorption and muscle-building properties. Technological advancements in protein fortification further enable manufacturers to meet varying consumer needs, supporting the growth of functional foods and personalized nutrition solutions. Dry Form Ingredients Dominate and Show the Fastest Growth Dry forms of nutraceutical ingredients offer key advantages, including stability and extended shelf life, which are crucial for preserving the potency and efficacy of sensitive bioactive compounds like vitamins, minerals, and botanical extracts. Additionally, dry ingredients are easier to handle, store, and transport, reducing logistical complexities and costs. These properties make them particularly attractive for manufacturers seeking operational efficiency and waste reduction. Dry forms are widely used across various product formats such as capsules, tablets, and powdered beverages, catering to diverse consumer preferences for convenience and ease of use. For instance, powders and granules can be seamlessly incorporated into beverages, baked goods, and other food products, ensuring minimal disruption to texture or taste, which helps maintain consumer acceptance.

Urbanization has led to changes in lifestyles, promoting preventive healthcare measures and boosting demand for functional foods and dietary supplements. According to the FAO, in the "Asia and the Pacific Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023 - Statistics and Trends," rising food costs are exacerbating malnutrition, with 232.8 million people unable to afford a nutritious diet. The region continues to face severe food insecurity, particularly in Southern Asia, where over 809 million people experience moderate to severe food insecurity. This highlights the growing need for affordable, health-promoting nutraceutical solutions.
