NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — Elijah Howard ran for 110 yards and scored two touchdowns, the Central Connecticut defense made seven interceptions, and the Blue Devils beat Duquesne 21-14 on Saturday to claim the Northeast Conference's automatic bid to the FCS playoffs. Howard provided the game-winning score by running it in from the 6, then threw the 2-point conversion to quarterback Brady Olson to cap the scoring with 13:44 left in the fourth quarter. The defense for the Blue Devils (7-5, 5-1) sealed the game when it stymied the Dukes (8-3, 5-1) on their final three possessions. Following Central Connecticut's last touchdown, Jalen Howard sacked Darius Perrantes on Duquesne’s first play and forced a fumble which the Blue Devils recovered. Central Connecticut failed to add to the lead when Jack Barnum missed a 40-yard field, but Duquesne turned it back over when Perrantes threw an end zone pick. The Blue Devils punted after six plays, but again, Duquesne saw another drive end with a Perrantes interception. Perrantes threw seven interceptions with three going to Christopher Jean, a pair to Davone Walden Jr. and one each to Deon McLean and Vincent Thomas. Duquesne secured at least a share of the NEC title for a conference record seventh time in program history with last week's win over Wagner. It was the second straight year the Dukes played a winner-take-all game for the NEC automatic bid on the road in the final week of the regular season. Last year they beat Merrimack 26-14 to win the NEC title outright. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

By Milana Vinn NEW YORK (Reuters) – Logility Supply Chain Solutions, a maker of artificial intelligence-powered software that helps companies manage their inventories and supply chains, is exploring a sale, according to people familiar with the matter. The Atlanta, Georgia-based company, which was previously known as American Software and has a market value of about $400 million, is working with investment bank Lazard to gauge takeover interest from potential buyers, which include private equity-backed technology companies, the sources said, requesting anonymity as the discussions are confidential. The deliberations are at an early stage and the sources cautioned that no deal is guaranteed. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Shares of Logility jumped nearly 11% to touch a 52-week high after Reuters reported on the sale process on Wednesday. Logility provides software and technology tools that help large companies manage their inventory, manufacturing processes and supply chains. The company has more than 550 clients in 80 countries, according to its website. Its customers include large corporations including discount retail chain Big Lots, Twinkies maker Hostess Brands, underwear brand Jockey International, industrial giant Johnson Controls, and aerospace supplier Parker Hannifin. On Tuesday, investment firm 2717 Partners sent a letter to the company’s board, pushing them to explore strategic options. In October, the company rebranded itself as Logility and started trading under a new ticker symbol on the Nasdaq. Earlier this year, Logility eliminated its dual-class share structure, which previously allowed co-founder James Edenfield to control the company through his ownership of the special class of shares. Edenfield stepped down from his role as executive chairman of Logility in February.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Jacari White scored 19 points as North Dakota State beat Western Michigan 98-62 on Sunday. White had five rebounds and five assists for the Bison (10-4). Jacksen Moni added 16 points while shooting 7 for 10, including 2 for 4 from beyond the arc while they also had seven assists. Masen Miller finished 5 of 9 from 3-point range to finish with 15 points. The Bison extended their winning streak to seven games. The Broncos (3-7) were led by Chansey Willis Jr., who recorded 22 points and five assists. Marquese Josephs added 12 points for Western Michigan. Markhi Strickland also put up eight points. North Dakota State took the lead with 19:23 left in the first half and never looked back. The score was 49-28 at halftime, with White racking up 13 points. North Dakota State extended its lead to 73-38 during the second half, fueled by a 9-0 scoring run. Darik Dissette scored a team-high eight points in the second half as their team closed out the win. North Dakota State next plays Monday against CSU Bakersfield at home, and Western Michigan will host Valparaiso on Friday.

Photo: Supplied Sir Richard Hadlee has sold his luxury home overlooking the Pegasus golf course seven months after it went on the market. Sir Richard Hadlee. Photo: File image Bayleys listing agent Anna Bray told oneroof.co.nz the Hadlees were happy with the final result and had already moved into their new home, which they previously told OneRoof would be local and have a lake view. The new owners were also happy to have upgraded to a home overlooking the golf course, she said. The exact sale price has not been revealed yet, but Bray said the new owners had bought it in a matter of weeks of viewing it. “They were already to purchase and thought now the time is right so they jumped on it,” she said. “The whole thing was done (and) dusted within a few weeks. It was real quick.” She told OneRoof it may have taken several months to find a new owner because Pegasus was quite a niche market and only a certain buyer type wanted to live on a golf course. “They hung in there for the right buyer, the right buyer came along and it was meant to be.” The property, which had an RV of $1.8 million, had mainly attracted retirees – from around Christchurch, North Canterbury, Auckland and overseas – who wanted a property with a granny flat overlooking a golf course. Sir Richard Hadlee’s home overlooking the 15th hole had an RV of $1.8 million. Photo: Supplied Hadlee earlier told OneRoof he and his wife Dianne, Lady Hadlee, bought the first home to be built on the golf course in 2010 after seeing a model of the development. “We bought off the model without even seeing the section or the development because it was so impressive,” Hadlee told OneRoof at the time of listing the property. The 427sq m home on a 2000sq m-plus section had enough room for all of Hadlee’s memorabilia, which he collected over his long and successful sporting career. The attached self-contained studio was ideal for visiting friends, family and other cricket stars, including Australian paceman Billy Stanlake. The fellow fast bowler stayed with the Hadlees in 2020 when Sir Richard spent a day with him at Mainpower Oval in Rangiora, helping him with his technique. Up until last year Hadlee spent a lot of his time on the golf course. However, he hung up his golf clubs last year and the couple, now in their 70s were ready to downsize – driving factors behind their decision to sell. Hadlee said they felt they had one more move in them before living in a retirement village and were keen to have a different view from the entertaining one they currently had of the 15th hole. He had also told OneRoof he was keen on getting a new four-legged friend once they moved house. Meanwhile, the neighbouring Pegasus Golf Resort, which is an 18-hole golf course on 80 hectares, is also back on the market following a prospective buyer’s failed court bid to stop an open-market sale campaign earlier this year.
(Bloomberg) — If President-elect Donald Trump’s first-term playbook is any guide, his latest threat to slap tariffs on major US trading partners is the start of negotiations rather than the end. In a gambit familiar to adversaries and allies alike, Trump said in a social media post Monday evening he would slap 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada and additional 10% duties on China, unless they clamp down on migrants and illegal drugs coming to the US. Those three countries account for about 40% of all US trade. It all had a familiar feel to a flurry of threats in his first term. In May 2019, Trump announced on social media that he’d impose a 5% tariff on Mexico within 10 days, and gradually increase it, unless the country stopped migrants from reaching the US southern border. Mexico complied and the tariff was never imposed. “I’m feeling a lot of deja vu,” said Juan Carlos Baker, who helped Mexico negotiate the current trade deal with US and Canada. Trade partners during Trump’s first term “did learn something, and that experience comes in handy,” Baker said. “But I would warn against supposing that just because we have Trump 1.0, we know exactly what is happening and how to deal with it.” One challenge this time is that Trump won’t take office for almost two more months. How far he’s willing to go, including damaging his own economy, is another big unknown. Trump’s threats to withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement led to its replacement, the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement. And those duties threatened on Mexico if it didn’t use its national guard to stop migrants came as that new deal was being sealed. He also hit China with a raft of tariffs, which were ratcheted back after a deal with President Xi Jinping’s government. He imposed levies on steel and aluminum from around the world, including from America’s biggest trade partner, the European Union. “Making these announcements two months before you’re in power is certainly signaling that you’re ready to begin negotiating,” Daniel Tannebaum, a partner at consulting firm Oliver Wyman, said on Bloomberg Surveillance Radio on Tuesday. “We’ll have to see what the new administration team actually does as they get on board.” Two big things will be different in the new term. First, Trump is more familiar with the levers of power. This time around, he plans to use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to quickly impose tariffs by declaring a national emergency, the same law he used to get funding from a reluctant Congress for parts of his “border wall” in 2019, according to people familiar with the plans, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. His first tariffs, by comparison, took about a year to impose as necessary investigations crept through America’s trade bureaucracy. “The tempo of this will be fast,” said Dan Ujczo, a senior counsel at law firm Thompson Hine in Columbus, Ohio, who has worked on North America and China trade issues. The tariffs announced on Monday night are “tactical and transactional,” he said, “designed to achieve targeted results.” Second, gone are some of the market-friendly, impulse-restraining officials from the first administration like Steven Mnuchin, his treasury secretary, or Gary Cohn, the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executive who reigned in Trump when he threatened to withdraw from Nafta, or even Rex Tillerson, the former Exxon Mobil Corp. chief who was his first secretary of state. Among most of the other recently announced nominees for this cabinet, the most important trait appears to be loyalty to Trump and his establishment-bashing approach. One major exception may be Scott Bessent, his pick to the lead the Treasury Department. The hedge fund manager has called for a gradual approach to trade restrictions and has appeared open to negotiating the exact size of tariffs. America’s neighbors were quick to respond to Monday’s threat. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called Trump to discuss border security and trade, according to a government official with knowledge of the matter. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum called for collaboration, but also hinted that her country would retaliate. That’s because tariffs would be a violation of the USMCA, leaving Mexico and Canada only to hit back with tariffs of their own. Trump’s impact on trade with China has endured. At one point he raised tariffs on practically all of the $500 billion-plus annual goods imports, showing a willingness to accept a cost on American consumers, who most economists estimate ultimately pay for the tariffs. Those duties were lowered as part of a 2020 trade deal with Beijing, when it promised to buy more American goods and stop intellectual property theft. The levies on about $300 billion of goods that Trump left in place were sustained by President Joe Biden, who even raised some of them earlier this year, a testament to the staying-power of some Trump decisions. Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman Sachs, said that it’s important not to conflate Trump’s tariff threat with the larger 60% tariffs on China and 10%-20% on the rest of the world that he promised on the campaign trail to rebalance trade toward the US. In other words, this may be just the beginning.
SUZHOU: Dominant in the electric car sector, Chinese companies have been quietly consolidating their position in the lesser-watched trucking scene - but foreign tariffs and a perceived quality gap could signal roadblocks ahead, experts warn. The domestic supply chain and low-price strategy that helped make China’s EV car industry world-leading are being leveraged by established automakers and start-ups alike, aiming to similarly transform trucking. Electric trucks currently represent less than one percent of truck sales worldwide, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) - with China making up 70 percent of those sales in 2023. But the agency said it was “optimistic” policy and technology developments would see more widespread adoption in the next 10 years. “This industry, I believe, is ripe for disruption,” Han Wen, the founder of start-up Windrose, told AFP on a factory floor as the company’s first vehicles for delivery were assembled behind him. Fleets of electric heavy goods vehicles from China have been growing internationally, even as Western countries target the country’s EV cars with heavy sanctions. Chinese companies like BYD and Beiqi Foton have shipped trucks to countries including Italy, Poland, Spain and Mexico, and have opened assembly plants around the world. “China’s trucks are generally cost-competitive in emerging markets,” Stephen Dyer, from consulting firm AlixPartners, told AFP. “For mature markets, performance and durability do not yet meet the needs of most customers, but that is changing.” When it comes to emissions, “heavy-duty trucks are considered one of the more difficult to abate transport segments (after aviation and shipping)”, IEA analyst Elizabeth Connelly told AFP. Battery issues A major challenge is the trade-off between battery size and range. “The larger the battery, the longer the range. But the larger the battery, the heavier the truck... and the worse the fuel economy,” Connelly said. Chinese manufacturers have been seen as producing lower quality products than foreign counterparts. “Historically, Chinese trucks tended to have a shorter useful lifecycle than European or Japanese trucks,” AlixPartners’ Dyer told AFP. While that perception is changing, China’s flagship companies still lag rivals on factors like range and battery capacity. According to the Zero-Emission Technology Inventory, the median Chinese heavy duty truck range is 250 kilometers (155 miles), compared with 322 km in the United States. BYD - which in October beat Tesla in quarterly revenue for the first time -- says its 8TT model’s range is 200 kilometers, compared with the 800 kilometers promised by Tesla’s Semi truck. But Chinese manufacturers could close the gap quickly. Han’s Windrose says its semi-trucks can go up to 670 kilometers on a single charge. Meanwhile, battery giant CATL has rolled out truck battery-swapping facilities - where drained units can be immediately replaced, eliminating charging time altogether. China’s existing EV ecosystem is a massive advantage. “We’re very lucky to have the Chinese supply chain (for EVs),” said Han, noting Windrose was using an electric bus company’s factory to build its trucks. “There’s no doubt that China also will have an edge on the electrification of heavy-duty trucks.” More unpredictable are the testy geopolitical waters the sector risks stalling in. This year has seen important trading partners including the European Union and the United States impose hefty tariffs on Chinese EV cars, saying Beijing’s state aid to automakers undercut their own firms. China refutes this, but as its EV truck footprint grows globally, so could the risk of similar action be taken. “Governments in potential export markets want to protect their local industries,” said Sam Fiorani, at AutoForecast Solutions. US President-elect Donald Trump has promised huge tariff hikes on Chinese imports once he takes office. “Since EV truck volume is smaller than passenger EVs, there is a chance that EV trucks would fall a little under the radar in normal times,” AlixPartners’ Dyer said. But “these are not ‘normal times’ anymore and anything Chinese is high profile in the US government currently”, he added. Some companies have already taken steps that could mitigate this risk. BYD proudly touts its trucks as being “assembled by union workers in Lancaster, California”, while it has announced plans to build a factory in Mexico, and has plants in Hungary and Romania. Windrose’s Han told AFP the firm has consciously spread its operations across multiple countries, moving key headquarters to Belgium earlier this year. “We do embrace the fact that every major market would like its own domestic supply chain of EV,” he told AFP. But he added: “You have to start in China. We then try to move the supply chain globally... But you have to start in China. There’s no alternative.” — AFPArewa Professionals knock Atiku for criticizing Tinubu’s $2.2bn foreign loan

The Gunners delivered the statement Champions League victory their manager had demanded to bounce back from a narrow defeat at Inter Milan last time out. Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track, lifting them to seventh place with 10 points in the new-look 36-team table. It was Arsenal’s biggest away win in the Champions League since beating Inter by the same scoreline in 2003. “For sure, especially against opposition we played at their home who have not lost a game in 18 months – they have been in top form here – so to play with the level, the determination, the purpose and the fluidity we showed today, I am very pleased,” said Arteta. “The team played with so much courage, because they are so good. When I’m watching them live they are so good! They were all exceptional today. It was a big performance, a big win and we are really happy. “The performance was there a few times when we have played big teams. That’s the level that we have to be able to cope and you have to make it happen, and that creates belief.” A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim. The Gunners took the lead after only seven minutes when Martinelli tucked in Jurrien Timber’s cross, and Saka teed up Havertz for a tap-in to double the advantage. Arsenal added a third on the stroke of half-time, Gabriel charging in to head Declan Rice’s corner into the back of the net. To rub salt in the wound, the Brazilian defender mimicked Viktor Gyokeres’ hands-over-his-face goal celebration. That may have wound Sporting up as they came out after the interval meaning business, and they pulled one back after David Raya tipped Hidemasa Morita’s shot behind, with Goncalo Inacio netting at the near post from the corner. But when Martin Odegaard’s darting run into the area was halted by Ousmane Diomande’s foul, Saka tucked away the penalty. Substitute Trossard added the fifth with eight minutes remaining, heading in the rebound after Mikel Merino’s shot was saved. A miserable night for prolific Sporting striker Gyokeres was summed up when his late shot crashed back off the post.Subsea7 awarded contract in the US Gulf of MexicoPatterson Cos.
