AVTE Stock Alert: Halper Sadeh LLC Is Investigating Whether the Merger of Aerovate Therapeutics, Inc. Is Fair to ShareholdersRepresentative image DEHRADUN: Uttarakhand government has initiated the tendering process to implement a green cess on vehicles entering the state from other regions. Officials have invited tenders for the necessary equipment, which will be opened on Dec 11. Transport commissioner Brijesh Kumar Sant told TOI the system will be established at all state borders from next month. Transport officials said banking institutions will be incorporated into this green cess collection mechanism. The state had forwarded a proposal to the Centre seeking guidance on implementing the green cess, which is expected to range between Rs 20 and Rs 80. The cess will be primarily collected through FASTag technology. Electric vehicles and those running on CNG will be exempted from this levy. "The department will use automatic number-plate recognition cameras to collect the tax. The cameras will identify vehicles registered outside Uttarakhand, and the cess amount will be deducted directly from the FASTag wallet of car owners," an official said. While two-wheelers are exempted from the cess, three-wheelers will be charged Rs 20, four-wheelers Rs 40, and medium and heavy vehicles Rs 60 and Rs 80, respectively. Certain categories, including govt vehicles, fire tenders, and ambulances, are also exempted. The cess will apply to single-day entries, but vehicle owners will have the option to pay higher rates for extended validity. Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .

Houston's Al-Shaair apologizes for hit on Jacksonville's Lawrence that led to concussion HOUSTON (AP) — Houston’s Azeez Al-Shaair took to X to apologize to Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence after his violent blow to the quarterback’s facemask led to him being carted off the field with a concussion. Back in the starting lineup after missing two games with a sprained left shoulder, Lawrence scrambled left on a second-and-7 play in the second quarter of Houston’s 23-20 win on Sunday. He initiated a slide before Al-Shaair raised his forearm and unleashed on the defenseless quarterback. In the long post, Al-Shaair says "To Trevor I genuinely apologize to you for what ended up happening.” Jets are sticking with struggling Aaron Rodgers as their starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers will remain the New York Jets’ starting quarterback despite speculation the team could bench him in what has been a disappointing season. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said during a video call that he still believes Rodgers, who turned 41 on Monday, gives the Jets their best chance to win. Rodgers was 21 of 39 for 185 yards and touchdown passes to Davante Adams and Isaiah Davis but also had an interception returned 92 yards for a touchdown by Leonard Williams in the Jets’ 26-21 loss to Seattle on Sunday. Hall of Famer Randy Moss reveals he's 'battling something' internal and asks for prayers Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss revealed he’s dealing with a health issue and asked fans to pray for him and his family. The 47-year-old ESPN football analyst made the announcement on Instagram from the set of the network’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” show. He directed his message to men and urged them to get checkups and bloodwork done, without specifying for any particular illness. Moss explained why he’s been wearing tinted sunglasses, saying, “I’m battling something, man, and it’s something internal, your boy is going to get through it.” College playoff bracket offers last dress rehearsal and one more chance to see where the SEC stands The next set of College Football Playoff rankings will be released Tuesday night under heavy scrutiny before the final bracket is set on Sunday. It will be one last chance to see just how much the selection committee loves the Southeastern Conference. The best gauge will be whether Miami, which suffered its second loss over the weekend, is placed behind any or all three SEC teams with three losses — Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina, all of which are coming off wins. Whatever happens, the SEC is likely to have at least five teams in the 12-team field when the final bracket comes out. Mollie Marcoux Samaan stepping down as LPGA commissioner after 3 1/2 years of record prize money Mollie Marcoux Samaan is leaving after more than three years as LPGA commissioner. In a surprise announcement Monday, Marcoux Samaan says she will step down in January, just three weeks before the LPGA starts its 75th season. Liz Moore is the chief legal and technology officer. She'll be serving as interim commissioner until a search committee can find a permanent replacement. Marcoux Samaan was the athletic director at Princeton when she took over the LPGA in May 2021. Prize money has soared during her tenure. She also has faced criticism for the LPGA not gaining in popularity during a rise in women's sports.

Auburn is pushing the Jayhawks in the latest poll after winning the Maui Invitational and checked in at No. 2. Two-time reigning national champion UConn nearly fell out entirely after an 0-3 week at Maui, falling from No. 2 to 25th.

Michael Andretti's Formula 1 dream comes to bittersweet fruition without his involvement Michael Andretti has been sidelined from his namesake motorsports organization and won’t have any role with the Formula 1 program he spent the last four years desperately trying to launch. His effort to get a program partnered with General Motors into F1 was approved last week, a month after he stepped aside from his teams. F1’s decision to expand its grid for Cadillac F1 came amidst a federal antitrust investigation into why Liberty Media refused to admit Andretti Global and after Andretti partners Dan Towriss and Mark Walter claimed controlling interest of the fledgling effort. Ryan Poles to remain Bears general manager and lead search for new head coach LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears president Kevin Warren said Ryan Poles will remain the general manager and serve as the point person in the search for a head coach to replace the fired Matt Eberflus. He says Poles will have the “final say” if the two have differing opinions on who should get the job. Chicago had never fired a coach during a season. But a six-game losing streak marked by questionable coaching decisions spurred the founding NFL franchise to change course. The Bears let Eberflus go Friday and replaced him on an interim basis with offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. Florida State hires Nebraska's Tony White as defensive coordinator, AP source says Florida State has hired Tony White to be its defensive coordinator after he developed consecutive top-20 defenses at Nebraska. That's according to a person familiar with the decision. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because neither the Seminoles nor Nebraska confirmed White’s move, which is pending a state background check. ESPN reported that White signed a three-year contract. White replaces Adam Fuller, who was fired last month. FSU coach Mike Norvell is trying to fill staff vacancies in hopes of salvaging a recruiting class. National Signing Day is Wednesday, with the transfer portal opening next week. Norvell also formally announced former UCF coach Gus Malzahn as his offensive coordinator.

An Ohio teacher is suing her school district after she was reprimanded and ultimately suspended for having books with LGBTQ characters in her classroom. Karen Cahall, an elementary school teacher, filed a federal case against the school board, Superintendent Tracey Miller and board members Todd Wells, Tim DuFau, Robert Wooten, Jonathan Zimmerman and Amy Story, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Friday. "Cahall maintains sincere and deeply rooted moral and religious beliefs that all children, including children who are LGBTQ+ or the children of parents who are LGBTQ+, deserve to be respected, accepted, and loved for who they are," her lawsuit reads . So far, the school district won't comment. ALSO READ: A mysterious group of Republicans is secretly rewriting the Constitution The report said there is no policy specifically regarding book bans, only a blanket "controversial issues" rule . It says that topics "likely to arouse both support and opposition in the community" are allowed to be taught in classrooms so long as they are related to the class's instructional goals, encourage open-mindedness, and teachers don't "tend to indoctrinate or persuade students to a particular point of view." Anything outside the curriculum has to be approved by a principal. Cahall called the rule unconstitutional and said it was the reason she was suspended without pay. Four books with LGBTQ characters were on the shelf in her classroom, along with about 100 other books available to students. The lawsuit noted they weren't prominently displayed and she never read from or taught them, nor required students to read them. They were simply on the shelf. The lawsuit also said there's no sexual activity in the books, rather their characters "are coming to terms with feeling different and excluded." Parent Kayla Shaw complained. Cahall has taught in the school district for more than 30 years. Conservatives have used their faith to censor books in the past, The Interfaith Alliance noted in September ahead of new congressional legislation. “Censorship is a religious freedom issue — book banning is a political strategy that could silence diverse religious voices and traditions that are a major part of the rich social fabric of America,” said Interfaith Alliance president, Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush. “Sadly, many who want to ban books use religion as their excuse to target LGBTQIA+ voices, communities of color, and many others. In fact, most people of faith and conscience in this country oppose these harmful efforts – and stand firmly behind the right to read.” The superintendent said Cahall knew the books were banned because her request was denied to include them in the library. "You subsequently placed the books in your classroom library without putting them through the established approval process," a disciplinary letter Miller sent to Cahall said. "It is my sincere hope that you will internalize the discipline you are receiving and that you will reflect upon this in order to change," Miller continued. "However, if you continue to behave in this manner in the future, you will be subjected to more severe discipline up to and including termination of your employment."Firefighters and passengers hurt after train hits fire truck on crossing
