Gov. Little sends Idaho State Police to U.S. southern borderNEW YORK (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Jose D. Hernandez was suspended for next year's Arizona Complex League season on Wednesday following a positive test for boldenone and nandrolone under baseball's minor league drug program. The 21-year-old Hernandez hit .302 with four homers and 21 RBIs in 26 games this year for the ACL Dodgers. The Venezuelan agreed to a contract with the Dodgers in 2019 that included a $10,000 signing bonus. Twenty players have been suspended this year for positive drug tests, including nine under the minor league program and nine under the new program for minor league players assigned outside the United States and Canada. Two players have been suspended this year under the major league drug program. Noelvi Marté , a 22-year-old infielder who was considered Cincinnati's top prospect, missed the first 80 games following a positive test for boldenone. Toronto infielder Orelvis Martínez was suspended for 80 games on June 23 following a positive test for the performance-enhancing drug clomiphene, an announcement made two days after his major league debut .

The Gambegre win strengthens the NDA's partner, the NPP, which governs Meghalaya, while the Samaguri victory in Assam marks an unprecedented achievement for the BJP, as it secured a Muslim-majority assembly constituency for the first time. Both results came at the expense of the Congress party. Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma wrote on X giving a special mention to Samaguri, "a constituency with a 65% minority population, held by Congress for 25 years, now won by the BJP. This historic victory reaffirms people's trust in our welfare agenda and their firm rejection of the Opposition's divisive politics." Samaguri was vacated by Congress's tallest Muslim leader, Rakibul Hussain, who had held this seat since 2001 before shifting to the Lok Sabha a few months back. His son Tanzil, who contested from the seat, tripped in his debut election.

Barring the Congress candidate, all others failed to garner even 1,000 votes each. BJP's winning candidate Diplu Ranjan Sarmah, who secured nearly 57% of the votes polled, said his victory was ensured by people from various religious groups who voted for him because of the BJP govt's good work, but there were other factors at play as well. One factor was that Badaruddin Ajmal-led AIUDF skipped these by-polls for ‘strategic reasons' and appealed to its supporters to cast "conscience votes". In the run-up to the polls, which were marred by a series of violent incidents, AIUDF expelled three of its leaders for publicly extending their support to BJP candidates. Rakibul Hussain attributed the Samaguri defeat to a probable shift in allegiance among Congress supporters who no longer remain within the constituency following the fragmentation of the area in the delimitation exercise last year. Another possible factor could be the disintegration of the opposition after Congress pulled out of a united platform and chose to contest the five seats alone. Interestingly, the BJP candidate received almost the same number of votes that Rakibul Hussain had received four years back, and his son this time got a similar number of votes that the BJP candidate got while losing to his father. "We bow in gratitude to the people of Assam. The NDA's 5/5 victory in the current by-elections is a resounding testament to Assam's unwavering support for Adarniya @narendramodi Ji's vision of good governance and development," Sarma posted on X. "A big shoutout to our dedicated Karyakartas who took our message of development to every booth!" he added. The BJP contested in Samaguri, Behali, and Dholai constituencies, while its allies AGP and UPPL fielded candidates in Bongaigaon and Sidli seats, respectively. BJP's strength in the 126-member assembly now stands at 64, nine for AGP, and seven for UPPL. In the opposition bench, Congress numbers have shrunk to 26, while AIUDF remains the same at 15, three for BPF, and one each for CPM and Independent. For NPP in Meghalaya, party candidate and CM Conrad Sangma's wife, Mehtab Chandee Agitok Sangma, won the Gambegre constituency. Trinamool's Sadhirani M Sangma finished second, 4,594 votes behind. With this win, the NPP strength in the House increased to 32 in the 60-member Meghalaya legislative assembly. Chief minister Sangma said the people of Gambegre voted for development and "we are committed to that". "Voters are intelligent. They know what is good for them and how they should vote in every election. In this election, people have voted specifically for change in terms of the constituency and development," he said.Counting birds at Novato’s Mount Burdell

Imphal, Nov 23 (PTI) An organisation, which claims to be the apex body of the Thadou tribe in Manipur, on Saturday said that central and state governments and leaders of all communities should work together to end the violence in the state. The Thadou is the largest sub-tribe among the Kuki Zo communities. In a statement, the Thadou Inpi claimed that its members are the most affected and most silent victims in the ongoing conflict in the state, yet they continue to advocate peace. It said that peace is needed to end the “untold sufferings” of the people and in the interest of Manipur and the nation. Responding to the statement by 10 Kuki legislators that "some fringe elements claiming to represent Thadou and Hmar are pitiful at its best," the organisation wondered if those MLAs are engaged in anti-Thadou activities. Several of those legislators belong to the ruling NDA in the state. The Thadou Inpi claimed that it makes no sense to demand sacking of a government or a separate administration while continuing to support or be part of the same government. It also accused those 10 MLAs of being "more into the pursuit of political opportunism" rather than interested in mitigating the sufferings of the people.

MUMBAI: Dutch technology investor Prosus , which has invested over $8 billion in the country, will raise its bets on India, where more people are coming online, expanding opportunities for companies and investment firms alike and giving new startups room to find their feet. India is very "heterogeneous" - people from different parts of the country vary in the way they buy and transact, allowing multiple firms to have a play in the same sectors, Ashutosh Sharma, head of growth investments (India and Asia) at Prosus, said. He cited the instance of its portfolio firm Meesho , which tapped a different market within e-commerce and built its play despite the presence of giants Amazon and Flipkart within the sector. "The India next" - the next set of 100-200 million users who are coming online - opportunity is something the firm is looking at besides scouting for more deals in the GenAI space. "What is Meesho-equivalent in other sectors and can we invest in that early is what we will explore. When we started investing in India, it was largely consumer tech... over time, we added B2B marketplaces, SaaS, crypto and now GenAI. Our excitement around India continues and you will see us be more aggressive than we have been in the past across sectors here," Sharma told TOI in an interview. Prosus counts Swiggy, PharmEasy and Urban Company among its portfolio companies. The firm - which is Swiggy's largest shareholder with over 20% stake - made over $2 billion in gains on its total investment in the startup which got listed on the bourses last month in India's second-biggest public issue of the year. Sharma said that there are quite a few other startups in its portfolio which are "ready" to get listed without sharing timelines. Even as a mix of geopolitical tensions and the election win of Donald Trump risk pose market uncertainties, strong backing from domestic investors and high appetite for new-age tech stocks should bode well for startups planning IPOs in 2025, Sharma said. "As a country, we are still in the very early stages of tech penetration across sectors. Investors believe that there is a long runway for all of these companies to perform. These are all, in that sense, growth stocks and not defensive stocks and there are a set of investors which are excited in them," Sharma said. He added that unless a black swan or a big disruptive event takes place, foreign investors - who have been net sellers in the past couple of months - should come back to India sometime next year. Prosus's investment cheques for India will range across early stage, mid-sized and late stage companies. "The overhang of rich valuation (in private markets) that was seen in 2021 and early 2022 is gone now. The India story looks pretty solid, valuations look palatable and companies are on a much stronger footing", making Prosus bullish, more so on late-stage bets going forward. The investor's failed bet in Byju's - which has gone from being a $22 billion startup to facing bankruptcy - has not deterred it from evaluating deals in the edtech space as technology is the only way to bridge the demand-supply gap of quality education in India, Sharma said. Globally, Prosus's most successful bet has been China's Tencent and the firm aims to emulate the same in India. "It's an aspiration for sure. That's like a once-in-a-lifetime kind of a hit," he added.CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Kylan Boswell had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists and Tomislav Ivisic scored 23 points to lead No. 24 Illinois to a 117-64 victory over winless Chicago State on Sunday. Boswell was one assist shy of his first triple-double and got it with a pass that set up Keaton Kutcher’s 3-pointer with 1:47 left. It was the seventh triple-double in program history. Dre Gibbs-Lawhorn scored 16 points, Kasparas Jakucionis had 14, Will Riley had 13 and Morez Johnson Jr. had 11 points and eight rebounds for the Illini (9-3). Gabe Spinelli, son of first-year Chicago State coach Scott Spinelli, led the Cougars (0-15) with 20 points and Noble Crawford scored 15. Illinois led 60-24 at halftime and built its lead to as many as 58 points in the second half. Illinois: This wasn’t much of a test for the Illini, who were facing a winless team that doesn’t have a player averaging in double figures and gives up 83 points per game. But it gave them a chance to shake off the rust from having a week off following their Braggin’ Rights win over Missouri on Dec. 21. Chicago State: It was another bad day for the Cougars, who were outrebounded 47-23, committed 15 turnovers and shot 37%. On a positive note, they were 4 for 4 at the free-throw line. A 14-point run over a 2 1/2-minute stretch early in the first half extended an 8-7 Illinois lead to 22-7 and propelled the Illini to the lopsided win. The Illini shoot a lot of 3s. They came into the day averaging 32 per game, No. 6 in the nation, and went 15 for 33. Illinois plays Thursday at No. 9 Oregon. Chicago State plays Friday at Wagner.

AP college basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-basketball-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-basketballBIRMINGHAM, England :Aston Villa had to settle for a 0-0 draw against depleted Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday after a last-gasp effort by Morgan Rogers was chalked off for a foul on Juventus keeper Michele Di Gregorio. Villa thought they had won it at the death to end a six-game winless streak when Di Gregorio failed to catch a free kick, but Diego Carlos fouled the Juventus keeper as Rogers was lashing the ball into the net, and boos poured out from Villa fans after the final whistle. The match was far from a classic, with Juventus seemingly content to keep possession, and both sides squandered chances, with Villa's best coming from Lucas Digne who hammered a free kick off the crossbar seconds before halftime. Midway through the second half, Francisco Conceicao's short-range header from a corner looked destined for the back of Villa's net but Villa's World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emi Martinez dived to get his fingertips to the ball. Television replays showed a mere sliver of the ball failed to cross the goalline. Villa captain John McGinn almost gave the home side the lead when he latched on to a pass from Leon Bailey in the 70th minute, but the Scotland international's shot was blocked by Manuel Locatelli. Unai Emery's Villa, who had kicked off their Champions League campaign with three victories and three clean sheets, are ninth in the table after five games. Their Italian visitors, who had are unbeaten in Serie A this season but had only 14 outfield players available on Wednesday, are 19th in the 36-team table. The top eight qualify automatically for the last 16, with the next 16 sides entering a two-leg playoff to try to join them. Victory would have been a big confidence boost for Emery's team, who have not won since their 2-0 Champions League victory over Bologna on Oct. 22 and have slipped to eighth in the Premier League table with one win in their last five games.
