On Wednesday, the Western Hockey League club announced it has traded 17-year-old forward Cole Temple to the Everett Silvertips for 16-year-old forward Julien Maze. “First off, I’d like to thank Cole Temple for his time with the Pats, and wish him the best in Everett,” Pats general manager Alan Millar said in a release. “We are pleased to add Julien Maze to our hockey club. “Julien has very good puck skills, vision, and hockey sense. He will play an important role on our team, and we look forward to him developing with our young core.” Since being selected fifth overall in the 2022 WHL Draft by Regina, Temple has suited up in 87 WHL games. In his rookie season last year, the Brandon, Man. product recorded 19 points in 57 games. In 21 games this year, the 5-foot-10, 164-pound Temple was tied for third on the team with 12 points. He also represented Canada at last year’s World U17 Hockey Challenge. Earlier this year, he was graded as a ‘W’ prospect by NHL Central Scouting, indicating he could be a sixth or seventh round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. In return for Temple, Maze joins a rebuilding Regina lineup that now features four 16-year-olds and six 17-year-olds. The Edmonton product, who turns 17 next month, has racked up six goals and 13 assists for 19 points in 21 games this season with the Silvertips. The 5-foot-8, 165-pound forward was previously selected by Everett in the first round, 20th overall, in the 2022 WHL Draft. In his rookie season last year, Maze had 12 points in 40 games. Wednesday’s trade is the eighth move made by Regina since the start of the season. Last week, the Pats traded captain Tanner Howe to the Calgary Hitmen for Reese Hamilton, Keets Fawcett and two draft picks. tshire@postmedia.com The Regina Leader-Post has created an Afternoon Headlines newsletter that can be delivered daily to your inbox so you are up to date with the most vital news of the day.

By BILL BARROW, Associated Press PLAINS, Ga. (AP) — Newly married and sworn as a Naval officer, Jimmy Carter left his tiny hometown in 1946 hoping to climb the ranks and see the world. Less than a decade later, the death of his father and namesake, a merchant farmer and local politician who went by “Mr. Earl,” prompted the submariner and his wife, Rosalynn, to return to the rural life of Plains, Georgia, they thought they’d escaped. The lieutenant never would be an admiral. Instead, he became commander in chief. Years after his presidency ended in humbling defeat, he would add a Nobel Peace Prize, awarded not for his White House accomplishments but “for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.” The life of James Earl Carter Jr., the 39th and longest-lived U.S. president, ended Sunday at the age of 100 where it began: Plains, the town of 600 that fueled his political rise, welcomed him after his fall and sustained him during 40 years of service that redefined what it means to be a former president. With the stubborn confidence of an engineer and an optimism rooted in his Baptist faith, Carter described his motivations in politics and beyond in the same way: an almost missionary zeal to solve problems and improve lives. Carter was raised amid racism, abject poverty and hard rural living — realities that shaped both his deliberate politics and emphasis on human rights. “He always felt a responsibility to help people,” said Jill Stuckey, a longtime friend of Carter’s in Plains. “And when he couldn’t make change wherever he was, he decided he had to go higher.” Carter’s path, a mix of happenstance and calculation , pitted moral imperatives against political pragmatism; and it defied typical labels of American politics, especially caricatures of one-term presidents as failures. “We shouldn’t judge presidents by how popular they are in their day. That’s a very narrow way of assessing them,” Carter biographer Jonathan Alter told the Associated Press. “We should judge them by how they changed the country and the world for the better. On that score, Jimmy Carter is not in the first rank of American presidents, but he stands up quite well.” Later in life, Carter conceded that many Americans, even those too young to remember his tenure, judged him ineffective for failing to contain inflation or interest rates, end the energy crisis or quickly bring home American hostages in Iran. He gained admirers instead for his work at The Carter Center — advocating globally for public health, human rights and democracy since 1982 — and the decades he and Rosalynn wore hardhats and swung hammers with Habitat for Humanity. Yet the common view that he was better after the Oval Office than in it annoyed Carter, and his allies relished him living long enough to see historians reassess his presidency. “He doesn’t quite fit in today’s terms” of a left-right, red-blue scoreboard, said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who visited the former president multiple times during his own White House bid. At various points in his political career, Carter labeled himself “progressive” or “conservative” — sometimes both at once. His most ambitious health care bill failed — perhaps one of his biggest legislative disappointments — because it didn’t go far enough to suit liberals. Republicans, especially after his 1980 defeat, cast him as a left-wing cartoon. It would be easiest to classify Carter as a centrist, Buttigieg said, “but there’s also something radical about the depth of his commitment to looking after those who are left out of society and out of the economy.” Indeed, Carter’s legacy is stitched with complexities, contradictions and evolutions — personal and political. The self-styled peacemaker was a war-trained Naval Academy graduate who promised Democratic challenger Ted Kennedy that he’d “kick his ass.” But he campaigned with a call to treat everyone with “respect and compassion and with love.” Carter vowed to restore America’s virtue after the shame of Vietnam and Watergate, and his technocratic, good-government approach didn’t suit Republicans who tagged government itself as the problem. It also sometimes put Carter at odds with fellow Democrats. The result still was a notable legislative record, with wins on the environment, education, and mental health care. He dramatically expanded federally protected lands, began deregulating air travel, railroads and trucking, and he put human rights at the center of U.S. foreign policy. As a fiscal hawk, Carter added a relative pittance to the national debt, unlike successors from both parties. Carter nonetheless struggled to make his achievements resonate with the electorate he charmed in 1976. Quoting Bob Dylan and grinning enthusiastically, he had promised voters he would “never tell a lie.” Once in Washington, though, he led like a joyless engineer, insisting his ideas would become reality and he’d be rewarded politically if only he could convince enough people with facts and logic. This served him well at Camp David, where he brokered peace between Israel’s Menachem Begin and Epypt’s Anwar Sadat, an experience that later sparked the idea of The Carter Center in Atlanta. Carter’s tenacity helped the center grow to a global force that monitored elections across five continents, enabled his freelance diplomacy and sent public health experts across the developing world. The center’s wins were personal for Carter, who hoped to outlive the last Guinea worm parasite, and nearly did. As president, though, the approach fell short when he urged consumers beleaguered by energy costs to turn down their thermostats. Or when he tried to be the nation’s cheerleader, beseeching Americans to overcome a collective “crisis of confidence.” Republican Ronald Reagan exploited Carter’s lecturing tone with a belittling quip in their lone 1980 debate. “There you go again,” the former Hollywood actor said in response to a wonky answer from the sitting president. “The Great Communicator” outpaced Carter in all but six states. Carter later suggested he “tried to do too much, too soon” and mused that he was incompatible with Washington culture: media figures, lobbyists and Georgetown social elites who looked down on the Georgians and their inner circle as “country come to town.” Carter carefully navigated divides on race and class on his way to the Oval Office. Born Oct. 1, 1924 , Carter was raised in the mostly Black community of Archery, just outside Plains, by a progressive mother and white supremacist father. Their home had no running water or electricity but the future president still grew up with the relative advantages of a locally prominent, land-owning family in a system of Jim Crow segregation. He wrote of President Franklin Roosevelt’s towering presence and his family’s Democratic Party roots, but his father soured on FDR, and Jimmy Carter never campaigned or governed as a New Deal liberal. He offered himself as a small-town peanut farmer with an understated style, carrying his own luggage, bunking with supporters during his first presidential campaign and always using his nickname. And he began his political career in a whites-only Democratic Party. As private citizens, he and Rosalynn supported integration as early as the 1950s and believed it inevitable. Carter refused to join the White Citizens Council in Plains and spoke out in his Baptist church against denying Black people access to worship services. “This is not my house; this is not your house,” he said in a churchwide meeting, reminding fellow parishioners their sanctuary belonged to God. Yet as the appointed chairman of Sumter County schools he never pushed to desegregate, thinking it impractical after the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v. Board decision. And while presidential candidate Carter would hail the 1965 Voting Rights Act, signed by fellow Democrat Lyndon Johnson when Carter was a state senator, there is no record of Carter publicly supporting it at the time. Carter overcame a ballot-stuffing opponent to win his legislative seat, then lost the 1966 governor’s race to an arch-segregationist. He won four years later by avoiding explicit mentions of race and campaigning to the right of his rival, who he mocked as “Cufflinks Carl” — the insult of an ascendant politician who never saw himself as part the establishment. Carter’s rural and small-town coalition in 1970 would match any victorious Republican electoral map in 2024. Once elected, though, Carter shocked his white conservative supporters — and landed on the cover of Time magazine — by declaring that “the time for racial discrimination is over.” Before making the jump to Washington, Carter befriended the family of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., whom he’d never sought out as he eyed the governor’s office. Carter lamented his foot-dragging on school integration as a “mistake.” But he also met, conspicuously, with Alabama’s segregationist Gov. George Wallace to accept his primary rival’s endorsement ahead of the 1976 Democratic convention. “He very shrewdly took advantage of his own Southerness,” said Amber Roessner, a University of Tennessee professor and expert on Carter’s campaigns. A coalition of Black voters and white moderate Democrats ultimately made Carter the last Democratic presidential nominee to sweep the Deep South. Then, just as he did in Georgia, he used his power in office to appoint more non-whites than all his predecessors had, combined. He once acknowledged “the secret shame” of white Americans who didn’t fight segregation. But he also told Alter that doing more would have sacrificed his political viability – and thus everything he accomplished in office and after. King’s daughter, Bernice King, described Carter as wisely “strategic” in winning higher offices to enact change. “He was a leader of conscience,” she said in an interview. Rosalynn Carter, who died on Nov. 19 at the age of 96, was identified by both husband and wife as the “more political” of the pair; she sat in on Cabinet meetings and urged him to postpone certain priorities, like pressing the Senate to relinquish control of the Panama Canal. “Let that go until the second term,” she would sometimes say. The president, recalled her former aide Kathy Cade, retorted that he was “going to do what’s right” even if “it might cut short the time I have.” Rosalynn held firm, Cade said: “She’d remind him you have to win to govern.” Carter also was the first president to appoint multiple women as Cabinet officers. Yet by his own telling, his career sprouted from chauvinism in the Carters’ early marriage: He did not consult Rosalynn when deciding to move back to Plains in 1953 or before launching his state Senate bid a decade later. Many years later, he called it “inconceivable” that he didn’t confer with the woman he described as his “full partner,” at home, in government and at The Carter Center. “We developed a partnership when we were working in the farm supply business, and it continued when Jimmy got involved in politics,” Rosalynn Carter told AP in 2021. So deep was their trust that when Carter remained tethered to the White House in 1980 as 52 Americans were held hostage in Tehran, it was Rosalynn who campaigned on her husband’s behalf. “I just loved it,” she said, despite the bitterness of defeat. Fair or not, the label of a disastrous presidency had leading Democrats keep their distance, at least publicly, for many years, but Carter managed to remain relevant, writing books and weighing in on societal challenges. He lamented widening wealth gaps and the influence of money in politics. He voted for democratic socialist Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton in 2016, and later declared that America had devolved from fully functioning democracy to “oligarchy.” Yet looking ahead to 2020, with Sanders running again, Carter warned Democrats not to “move to a very liberal program,” lest they help re-elect President Donald Trump. Carter scolded the Republican for his serial lies and threats to democracy, and chided the U.S. establishment for misunderstanding Trump’s populist appeal. He delighted in yearly convocations with Emory University freshmen, often asking them to guess how much he’d raised in his two general election campaigns. “Zero,” he’d gesture with a smile, explaining the public financing system candidates now avoid so they can raise billions. Carter still remained quite practical in partnering with wealthy corporations and foundations to advance Carter Center programs. Carter recognized that economic woes and the Iran crisis doomed his presidency, but offered no apologies for appointing Paul Volcker as the Federal Reserve chairman whose interest rate hikes would not curb inflation until Reagan’s presidency. He was proud of getting all the hostages home without starting a shooting war, even though Tehran would not free them until Reagan’s Inauguration Day. “Carter didn’t look at it” as a failure, Alter emphasized. “He said, ‘They came home safely.’ And that’s what he wanted.” Well into their 90s, the Carters greeted visitors at Plains’ Maranatha Baptist Church, where he taught Sunday School and where he will have his last funeral before being buried on family property alongside Rosalynn . Carter, who made the congregation’s collection plates in his woodworking shop, still garnered headlines there, calling for women’s rights within religious institutions, many of which, he said, “subjugate” women in church and society. Carter was not one to dwell on regrets. “I am at peace with the accomplishments, regret the unrealized goals and utilize my former political position to enhance everything we do,” he wrote around his 90th birthday. The politician who had supposedly hated Washington politics also enjoyed hosting Democratic presidential contenders as public pilgrimages to Plains became advantageous again. Carter sat with Buttigieg for the final time March 1, 2020, hours before the Indiana mayor ended his campaign and endorsed eventual winner Joe Biden. “He asked me how I thought the campaign was going,” Buttigieg said, recalling that Carter flashed his signature grin and nodded along as the young candidate, born a year after Carter left office, “put the best face” on the walloping he endured the day before in South Carolina. Never breaking his smile, the 95-year-old host fired back, “I think you ought to drop out.” “So matter of fact,” Buttigieg said with a laugh. “It was somehow encouraging.” Carter had lived enough, won plenty and lost enough to take the long view. “He talked a lot about coming from nowhere,” Buttigieg said, not just to attain the presidency but to leverage “all of the instruments you have in life” and “make the world more peaceful.” In his farewell address as president, Carter said as much to the country that had embraced and rejected him. “The struggle for human rights overrides all differences of color, nation or language,” he declared. “Those who hunger for freedom, who thirst for human dignity and who suffer for the sake of justice — they are the patriots of this cause.” Carter pledged to remain engaged with and for them as he returned “home to the South where I was born and raised,” home to Plains, where that young lieutenant had indeed become “a fellow citizen of the world.” —- Bill Barrow, based in Atlanta, has covered national politics including multiple presidential campaigns for the AP since 2012.
Nagpur: Advocating a collaboration for artificial intelligence (AI) and journalism, Brijesh Singh , principal secretary to chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and director general of information and public relations on Wednesday delivered a talk on AI and journalism and Patrakar Club. Terming it as the future, Singh also called for a legal framework on the usage of artificial intelligence. Describing AI as a ‘wild horse that needs taming', Singh urged media professionals to be "AI-augmented, not AI-disrupted." Drawing an analogy to fire, he explained how AI, like fire, could be a constructive or destructive force, depending on its use. He acknowledged that while traditional newspapers and TV remain vital, the shift to digital mediums has necessitated adaptation, citing the example of e-papers and online content. Mentioning the statistical research done by TOI during the pandemic, he lauded how the numbers were presented in a graphical form. "While compiling all that data would have been time-taking then, now it can be done within seconds with AI," Singh said. He cautioned that concerns about job losses due to new technology are common, but history has shown that technology creates new opportunities. "AI will reduce your manual labour, so instead of running away from it, one should embrace it," he said. Highlighting the absence of India-specific AI tools, Singh remarked, "I urge media houses to collaborate with academic institutions so that we have our country-specific AI." He further emphasised the importance of accountability, stating, "All AI-generated material should have a watermarked tag." He highlighted the basic difference between content on social media, adding, news platforms like newspapers and TV is its truth value. Former state information commissioner Rahul Pande said that AI is a great enabler. However, he added that it is also a double-edged sword and needs to be used with caution. "We need to support language empowerment with the use of technology," Pande said, urging for AI to be developed specifically for Indian local languages. Patrakar Club president Pradeep Maitra and Kishore Gangode, Marathwada divisional director, were also present. The event, which was also streamed live on Youtube was attended by several media personnel and officials of the DGI PR. Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .

It’s a bedrock fact of the American justice system that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. That being said, unless we’re being lied to on a massive scale by a media that has no reason to lie in this case, Luigi Mangione doesn’t seem especially innocent. He supposedly that seemed to point to a motive in killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City on Dec. 4. He left which would also point to a motive. He, according to reports, also left near the scene of the crime, along with shell casings. The murder was caught on camera, for Pete’s sake. And yet, several experts have noted that he might be found not guilty by a jury — not because the state didn’t prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he killed Thompson, but that a cult of hero worship has sprung up around him, so much so that several legal experts have floated the idea of jury nullification happening in his trial. For instance, take CNN legal commentator Elie Honig; while Honig said he “wouldn’t necessarily lose sleep” over the online fame has garnered, it made him “nervous” about the possibility of jury nullification. For the unfamiliar, this is the process whereby a member or members of a jury — in some cases, entire juries — disregard the facts of the case to either deliberately reach a verdict that doesn’t align with the facts presented in the courtroom or create a deadlock that ends in a mistrial. “For sure, this is the highest risk of nullification that I have seen in a long time, given the fame and fandom that this guy has somehow gained over social media,” Honig said on Tuesday, according to . Free my man Luigi is too fine to be locked away for life let him go he didn’t do nothing 🥴 😭 — 𐚁 (@bemadgirl) “Free Luigi Mangione” seen in Camberwell, London, UK!! International support of Luigi is going strong 💪 — CEO Slayer (@CEO_Slayers) “But it’s important to keep in mind, there are checks in place, first of all, the jury selection process,” he added. “People who are overtly biased in his favor, people who have posted on social media, that kind of thing, they will be weeded out,” Honig said. “They will never even make it onto a jury. The other thing is, the whole trial process has the effect of sort of forcing people to get serious. “It’s really hard to sit through weeks worth of overwhelming evidence that this person shot his victim in the back and then just say, ah, heck with it, I kind of like this guy or I saw some social media meme. So it’s always in play, but I think it’s important to understand we do have processes that sort of filter that kind of thing out.” Former prosecutor and current criminal defense attorney Joel Cohen, a professor at and Cardozo law schools, also expressed his concerns for jury nullification in a piece for published Friday. Cohen worried that those with a secret affection for the alleged killer might, in fact, be able to work their way onto a jury despite being “overtly biased,” as Honig put it. “There are far too many among us whose inner voice allows them to somehow convince themselves that UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson had it coming — that Thompson deserved to be murdered, either because he was himself directly guilty of some insurance coverage denial or was a tangible proxy for a heartless industry that leaves its insured out to dry,” Cohen wrote. “And, if secretly rooting for Luigi Mangione, now charged with murder, is not enough, too many publicly protest the prosecution of Mangione or make deposits to his prison commissary account to help fund his defense. We shouldn’t then be surprised, then, if Mangione admirers somehow manage to steal their way onto a jury slated to try him for the murder. Do we find ourselves in a new moment of the stealth juror, and if we do, what then is the fallout?” Cohen also felt there was “no time in recent history where the media has been as fixated on an arrest and prosecution, and the possibility of nullification lurking as a real potential threat for prosecutors in jury selection.” “Despite the growing mountain of evidence against Mangione, the hold-out juror might calmly drink their burnt coffee in a dusty jury deliberation room and explain to the other ’11 Angry Men’ or women that “I simply don’t believe he shot Thompson and you can’t make me think he did, no matter how hard you try.’ That is, if the nullifier/s even feel the need to utter any defense for their recalcitrance,” he wrote. Furthermore, there’s the undeniable fact that “is young, handsome, fit — not unimportant in this context, given the social media explosion on the topic of his physical appearance,” Cohen wrote. “Make no mistake, jury nullification, like it or not, is as American as apple pie: Courts recognize that jurors surely have the power to nullify, even if not the right,” he wrote. “Let’s hope that the flames now being fanned by social media, fury over health care and somewhat short-sighted prosecutors don’t ultimately leave us engrossed with the rehashing of nullified verdicts, rather than having the opportunity to reflect on the loss of Brian Thompson, a man who, by all accounts, was a good man and father from the Midwest who simply didn’t deserve to be murdered in cold blood.” Hopefully, this is what sinks in to a jury: Social media hagiographies of an alleged psychopathic murderer are one thing, but sitting on a jury and doing it is quite another. This case should be about the facts, not about sickos who have turned their grievances against our broken health care system into an excuse for . Let’s hope and pray that ends up being the case.

The property card, besides the name of the owner, will also entail details of the deed of declaration. The department had decided to do away with 7/12 extracts in cities where the property survey has been completed and property cards issued. The project aims at curbing frauds in the real estate sector. The officials said the work on survey, measurement and mapping of the area conducted using high-tech machines, rovers and drones was complete. "Just the work of door-to-door inquiries remains in Kharadi, a task which has been assigned to 50 deputy superintendents from five districts. It is expected to get over within two-and-a-half months," an official said. In Wadgaon Sheri, which is also part of the pilot project, work has started on property assessment. "The project would be rolled out across the city in phases," the official said, adding, "Citizens must ensure that their deed of declaration is completed for their properties." Settlement commissioner NK Sudhanshu took up the project after it was on standby for over 10 years. Rajendra Gole, deputy director (urban land measurement) of the land records department, said a plan has been outlined to appoint deputy superintendents from Pune, Satara, Sangli, Solapur, and Kolhapur districts as inquiry officers. "The work will gain momentum in the coming year for these areas," he said. A computer system developed with the National Informatics Centre's help was used for the pilot in Kharadi and Wadgaon Sheri. "Consequently, the Kharadi survey was approved by the civic body and completed within two months using modern technology. The prepared maps received civic body's confirmation in Nov. Now, they can take it forward," the official said. A similar initiative will be implemented in other parts of the city, another official said. "The work is in process. Many citizens have reached out to us to check the progress of their area's survey report," the official said. GRAPHIC As a part of the project, the land records department will verify ownership before issuing the cards Deputy superintendents from the Pune division will conduct this verification, with a target of completing the task within two and a half months Once verification is complete, property cards will be uploaded on the Mahabhumi portal Similar initiatives have been completed in Mira Bhayandar and Thane district where around 45,000 properties have been mapped, and property cards uploaded on the website Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .
