Meet the 12 CFP Title Contenders: No. 12 ClemsonNew Delhi, Nov 24 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted on Sunday that his government considers India’s eastern region as the country’s growth engine, while the area was considered backward earlier. Addressing a gathering at the “Odisha Parba” event here, the prime minister said investments of Rs 45,000 crore have been approved within 100 days of the formation of a new government in the state. “Odisha has always been a land of seers and scholars. The way the scholars there took our religious texts to every household and connected the public with those, it has played a crucial role in the cultural prosperity of India. “There was a time when India’s eastern region and the states there were called backward. However, I consider the eastern region as the country’s growth engine. That is why we have prioritised the development of the region,” he said. “The budget that we now allocate to Odisha is three times higher than what it was 10 years ago. We are working rapidly in every sector for Odisha’s development and the budget has been increased by 30 per cent this year,” Modi added. The prime minister said the Centre is committed to promoting ease of doing business in Odisha and added that investments of Rs 45,000 crore have been approved within 100 days of the formation of a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state. “Last year, the G20 Summit was held in India. During the summit, we showcased the photo of the Sun Temple (in Konark). I am also glad that all four doors of the Jagannath temple (in Puri) are open now. Besides, the Ratna Bhandar of the temple is also open,” he added. “Odisha Parba” is a flagship event conducted by the Odia Samaj, a Delhi-based trust engaged in providing valuable support towards the preservation and promotion of Odia heritage. This year, “Odisha Parba” was organised from November 22 to November 24 to showcase the rich heritage of Odisha, displaying colourful cultural forms and exhibiting the vibrant social, cultural and political ethos of the state. Noting that cashew, jute, cotton, turmeric and oilseeds are produced in abundance in Odisha, Modi said the government’s effort is to ensure that these products reach big markets and thereby, benefit the farmers. “There is also a lot of scope for expansion in the seafood-processing industry of Odisha and the government’s effort is to make Odisha seafood a brand that will be in demand in the global market,” he added. Modi said by channelising Odisha’s potential in the right direction, the state can be taken to new heights of development. Emphasising that Odisha can benefit from its strategic location, he said access to domestic and international markets is easy from the state. “Odisha is an important hub of trade for East and South-East Asia. Odisha has immense potential to promote urbanisation,” the prime minister said, adding that his government is also creating new possibilities in the tier-two cities of the state, especially in the districts of western Odisha where development of new infrastructure can lead to the creation of new opportunities. Touching upon the abundant heritage of architecture and science of Odisha, Modi said science, architecture and the vastness of ancient temples like the Sun Temple, the Lingaraj and Mukteshwar temples amaze everyone with their exquisiteness and craftsmanship.

Forget migration ‘benefits’. Convince people that restrictions harm everyone“Is this legal?” — SG restaurant worker asks after their manager forces them to pay $10 for each food tray that a customer throws out in the trash

Tennessee 32, Houston 27

Pitt (6-0) will play the Wisconsin-UCF winner on Sunday for the tournament title. The Tigers (4-1) will take on the loser. This is Pitt's best start since 2018-19. Lowe made four 3-pointers while Ishmael Leggett added 21 points, six rebounds and five steals. Cameron Corhen scored 14 points and Zack Austin 10. The Panthers shot 64% in the second half after a 31% showing in the first. Jalen Reed had 14 points and seven rebounds, Vyctorius Miller came off the bench to score 14 points and Cam Carter added 11 for the Tigers, who shot 37%. LSU, which had trailed by as many as 12 in the second half, got within four on a four-point play by Miller with six minutes left but Lowe scored eight points, found Corhen for a pair of dunks and Leggett added seven points to help the Panthers pull away. Pitt stumbled at the end of the first half in surrendering the lead but came out in the second hot, hitting its first five shots and scoring the first 13 points. The Tigers missed their first 12 shots before finally getting a bucket and their first points from Carter nearly seven minutes into the second half. LSU had its only lead after Lowe was called for a technical foul with 4.9 seconds remaining in the first half and Carter hit a free throw to finish an 8-2 run to send the Tigers into the break ahead 28-27. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Miami probably was one win away from getting into the College Football Playoff. Iowa State definitely was one win away. Their consolation prize of sorts: playing one another. The Hurricanes and Cyclones — a meteorological matchup — have accepted bids to the Pop-Tarts Bowl, to be played Dec. 28 in Orlando, Florida. Iowa State (10-3) is looking for its first 11-win season in the program's 133-year history, and Miami (10-2) is seeking its first 11-win season since 2003. Miami's loss at Syracuse to close the regular season wound up being the game the Hurricanes could point to as the reason they missed out on the CFP. Iowa State could have played its way in and lost the Big 12 title game to CFP-bound Arizona State on Saturday. “I think everyone that doesn't get in feels disappointment,” Miami coach Mario Cristobal said. “We feel the onus of just doing better. Just do better, go forward, have an opportunity to get better.” It's essentially the same task for both teams: regrouping after seeing the playoff slip away. “I think that’s what’s made Iowa State football really special is our ability to have great resiliency," Cyclones coach Matt Campbell said. "And I know our kids are super-excited about the opportunity to finish off. Obviously (Saturday) was disappointing. But this group and this football team has the opportunity to just continue to fight.” A big question for Miami: whether quarterback Cam Ward will play. The likely Heisman Trophy finalist has thrown for 155 touchdown passes in his career at Incarnate Word, Washington State and Miami. That’s tied for the most by anyone in Division I (FBS and FCS) history; Case Keenum threw 155 in his career at Houston. Many draft-bound players not in the playoff will be opting out of bowl games over the coming weeks. There's been no indication from Miami yet that Ward or any other draft-bound player has made a decision. “I think it’s important that our guys, anyone playing and closing out the season, understands the importance of that next step for a program like ours," Cristobal said. "And I think our guys do.” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

Colorado River Indian Tribes celebrate 50th annual Native American Fair

NoneBy Lauren Beavis An adorable little donkey named Wonder has received a new prosthetic leg to help her stand and walk - just in time for Christmas. Wonder was born with two deformed hooves leaving her unable to stand or walk. But since being fitted with a specialist prosthesis, the young mule is now able to walk "better than ever before". At a young age, she was admitted to Donkey Sanctuary Bonaire in the Netherlands - a center for neglected, abused, confiscated, sick or old donkeys . Wonder the donkey with its new leg. ( When veterinarians at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Ghent University heard about Wonder's condition, they got in touch with Wesley Michiels from Pet Orthopedics - a company that makes prostheses and braces for animals. Wesley Michiels, head of Pet Orthopedics , said: "The vets contacted us and explained that they wanted to amputate the leg - asking us how they could best go about it to ensure that the donkey would be able to walk again with a view to a prosthesis. "We were on site for about three weeks to carry out the measurements on Wonder." As the vets amputated her little hooves - the orthopedics were able to fit a prosthetic leg that grows as Wonder does. (Pet Orthopedics via SWNS) Wesley said: "The cooperation results in a perfect amputation stump so that the prosthetic device also fits perfectly. "Wonder is still a little donkey who still has to grow in the future, so the prosthesis is adaptive so we can adjust it when she grows. "In the beginning, she has to learn how to use the leg more - but with the prosthetic device she is now already walking better than before." (Pet Orthopedics via SWNS) Wesley says he has worked with donkeys before - but a full prosthesis for the species was a new task for him. He added the new technology has helped many species - from alpacas to dogs and now donkeys . Wesley said: "In the past, the legs of animals were completely amputated up to the shoulder or up to the hip for a problem with toes for example - then sometimes you couldn't do anything with one leg. "But now many vets first call us to ask for advice about the amputation, so that we can put a prosthesis afterwards."

León Gallery is preparing to host a significant event that celebrates the rich heritage of Philippine history at its Kingly Treasures Auction on November 30, Saturday, at 2:00 p.m. This auction will pay homage to two of the nation’s most revered heroes, José Rizal and Andrés Bonifacio, whose contributions were instrumental in freeing the Philippines from colonial rule. Among the standout pieces is José Rizal’s sculpture, “Josephine Sleeping,” a poignant tribute to his deep affection for Josephine Bracken, his ultimate love. Created during his exile in Dapitan, this work not only highlights Rizal’s artistic prowess but also reveals a tranquil and deeply personal aspect of his life. Also featured is “The Last Seal of the Katipunan,” a significant artifact that resurfaces just in time for Bonifacio’s 161st birthday. This emblem symbolizes Bonifacio’s vision for freedom and unity in the Philippines and is associated with his final days during the revolution. The seal is part of the collection of Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera, a noted scholar and ilustrado . The auction showcases an impressive array of works by celebrated artists, including Guillermo Tolentino’s “Bust of Andrés Bonifacio,” cast from the iconic “Monumento” dedicated to Bonifacio. This piece, entrusted to León Gallery by historian Ambeth R. Ocampo, offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a fragment of Philippine revolutionary history. Professor Ocampo has also bequeathed other important pieces from his collection, including Félix Resurrección Hidalgo’s “Per Pacem et Libertatem.” Additionally, the auction highlights another Hidalgo masterpiece: his “Portrait of Raimunda Chuidian Roxas,” depicting a matriarch whose lineage significantly influenced both Batangas’ landscape and Manila’s economy. Fernando Zóbel’s works are also among the lots to watch for. “Orilla 69, En Amarillo y Gris” belongs to Zóbel’s last series, inspired by the powerful River Jucar that flows through Cuenca, where he lived later in life. “Azul sobre pardo,” from his coveted Saetas series, is particularly rare; only nine blue Saetas were ever painted by Zóbel, as noted by Alfonso de la Torre, author of the artist’s catalogue raisonné . The Kingly Treasures Auction also celebrates women who have shaped Philippine history. Carlos “Botong” V. Francisco’s “Tinikling No. 2,” from Estefania “Fanny” Aldaba Lim’s collection—who was not only the country’s first female cabinet secretary but also a pioneer in psychology—captures the essence of Filipino culture through its depiction of traditional dance. Anita Magsaysay-Ho’s “Lavanderas by the Stream,” created in 1934, showcases her early exploration of women as subjects, influenced by her mentor Fernando Amorsolo. Meanwhile, Nena Saguil’s abstract work, once a gift to Tetta Agustin, reflects the synergy between two women who redefined their paths —one in art and the other in international fashion. Collectors who are vital to the Philippine art scene will play a key role in this highly anticipated sale. The collection of Freddie and Elizabeth Webb features notable Filipino artists, including Mario Parial’s “Higantes Festival” and Juvenal Sansó’s “Jagged Shore.” From Ambassador Pedro Conlu Hernaez’s collection comes Juan Luna’s “La Majordoma,” a profound piece from Luna’s social realist era. Additionally, Jerry Elizalde Navarro’s “A Foul Wind on the 11th Day of February 1986” commemorates Evelio Javier, whose tragic death catalyzed the People Power Revolution. Art enthusiasts can also look forward to Alfonso Ossorio’s large-scale mixed-media panel, infused with the energy of his friendship with Jackson Pollock. With only five such works ever created, this offering is truly rare as it represents the last remaining piece in a private collection. In the spirit of giving this season, León Gallery is partnering with the International School Manila (ISM), which will auction several key lots— including a Jigger Cruz masterwork from his golden year of 2013—to support the ISM Filipino Scholars Program. The Kingly Treasures Auction will take place on November 30 at Eurovilla 1, Rufino Corner Legazpi Streets, Legazpi Village, Makati City. The preview week runs from November 23 to November 29 from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. For further inquiries, e-mail info@leon-gallery.com or contact +632 8856-27-81.
