COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Wade Taylor IV had 15 points and a career-high 10 assists, and Zhuric Phelps had 12 points and 10 rebounds in No. 13 Texas A&M’s 92-54 win over Abilene Christian on Saturday. Taylor’s 15 points passed Vernon Smith, who scored 1,778 points at A&M from 1977-81, for second on Texas A&M’s all-time scoring list. Taylor now has 1,779 career points and needs 212 more to pass Bernard King, who scored 1,990 points from 1999-2003, as Texas A&M’s all-time scoring leader. Taylor returned to action after he missed his first career game on Dec. 20 against Houston Christian. The Aggies (11-2) opened the game on a 7-0 run and never looked back. Texas A&M led 48-29 at halftime and ended the game on a 12-0 run over the final 5:24. Quion Williams led Abilene Christian (8-6) with 14 points. Takeaways Abilene Christian: The Wildcats lost to Texas A&M 81-80 in November 2021 but were too overmatched this season to have a chance at an upset bid. Texas A&M: The Aggies closed nonconference play on a seven-game winning streak in Taylor’s return. Key moment The Aggies used a 14-0 run in the first half to build an 18-point lead. Texas A&M guard CJ Wilcher made three straight 3-pointers during the run, including back-to-back from the right wing during fastbreaks. The Wildcats never got within single digits again. Key stat Texas A&M continued to show its depth as the Aggies had 45 bench points. Wilcher led the way with a season-high 14 points and forward Andersson Garcia had 12. Twelve players saw action and all 12 scored. Up next The Aggies start Southeastern Conference play against rival Texas on Jan. 4.

The Atlantic Liberal caucus is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign as party leader in a letter expressing "deep concern" about the future of government. The letter dated Dec. 23 was shared publicly Sunday by New Brunswick MP Wayne Long, who has been saying since the fall that Trudeau should step down. Long wrote in a Facebook post that he shared the letter for "openness and transparency." "If we are to have any chance in the next election, and prevent a Pierre Poilievre government, we need new leadership with a new vision for our party and the country," Long wrote. Atlantic caucus chair and Nova Scotia MP Kody Blois penned the letter, saying it is no longer "tenable" for Trudeau to continue to lead the party. The letter notes that the country faces "instability" amid U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's tariff threats and signals from opposition parties that they will declare non-confidence in Trudeau's government at the first opportunity. The letter thanks Trudeau for his nine years of service as prime minister, saying he leaves a "positive and consequential legacy." It cautions Trudeau that could be undone if he stays on as leader. The letter comes less than two weeks after Chrystia Freeland's resignation from Trudeau's cabinet as finance minister and deputy prime minister. "Our colleagues this morning expressed their deep personal affection for you, their pride in our work as a Liberal team, but also their deep concern that without a leadership change that progress will be lost under a Pierre Poilievre-lead government," Blois wrote to Trudeau. The letter concludes with a call for a national caucus meeting in early January so the Liberal MPs can discuss their next steps. Blois did not respond immediately to a request for comment. Trudeau is said to be thinking about his future during the holiday break. Conservative MP John Williamson said Friday he plans to introduce a non-confidence motion at the next public accounts committee meeting on Jan. 7. If that motion is successful at committee, it would be forwarded to the House of Commons and could be voted on as soon as Jan. 30, triggering an election if it passes. The Conservatives brought forward three non-confidence motions during the fall sitting of the House of Commons, which the Liberals survived thanks to support from the NDP. However, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh now says that his party has lost confidence in the government and intends to bring forward a non-confidence motion in the new year, regardless of who is Liberal leader. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 29, 2024.

P/E Ratio Insights for Copa Holdings
( MENAFN - EIN Presswire) The global loading spout market is set for significant growth, driven by industrial expansion, automation, and environmental regulations. Key regions such as East Asia, North America, and Western Europe will lead the market, with technological advancements boosting demand. NEWARK, Del, Dec. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the global sales of loading spouts , a crucial component in bulk material handling systems, are set to witness significant growth in the coming years. The market is estimated to be worth USD 4,283.2 Million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.32% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2034, reaching a value of USD 8,324.3 Million by the end of the decade. This growth is being driven by the increasing demand for efficient and sustainable solutions in logistics, mining, and bulk material handling across various industries. The loading spout market is experiencing rapid growth due to several factors, including the rise in global trade, infrastructure development, and a focus on reducing operational costs and environmental impacts. The growing need for optimized bulk material handling systems, particularly in sectors such as food grains, minerals, cement, and shipping, is fueling the demand for loading spouts. One of the key drivers for the market's growth is the increasing demand for scalable, efficient, and dust-free loading and unloading of materials. Loading spouts are designed to enhance productivity and reduce material losses by ensuring that the handling process remains clean, safe, and efficient. Their ability to handle materials such as grains, powders, and minerals without excessive spillage or dust is a key advantage, particularly in industries where these factors are critical.
