Homeland Security agent pleads not guilty to drug distribution conspiracy chargeThe new, 12-team College Football Playoff brings with it a promise to be bigger, more exciting, more lucrative. Perfect or 100% fair? Well, nobody ever believed that. The first expanded playoff bracket unveiled Sunday left a presumably deserving Alabama team on the sideline in favor of an SMU squad that finished with a better record after playing a schedule that was not as difficult. It ranked undefeated Oregon first but set up a possible rematch against Ohio State, the team that came closest to beating the Ducks this year. It treated underdog Boise State like a favorite and banged-up Georgia like a world beater at No. 2. It gave Ohio State home-field advantage against Tennessee for reasons it would take a supercomputer to figure out. It gave the sport the multiweek tournament it has longed for, but also ensured there will be plenty to grouse about between now and when the trophy is handed out on Jan. 20 after what will easily be the longest college football season in history. All of it, thankfully, will be sorted out on the field starting with first-round games on campuses Dec. 20 and 21, then over three succeeding rounds that will wind their way through traditional bowl sites. Maybe Oregon coach Dan Lanning, whose undefeated Ducks are the favorite to win it all, put it best when he offered: "Winning a national championship is not supposed to be easy.” Neither, it turns out, is figuring out who should play for it. The Big Ten will lead the way with four teams in the tournament, followed by the SEC with three and the ACC with two. The lasting memory from the inaugural bracket will involve the decision that handed the ACC that second bid. Alabama of the SEC didn't play Saturday. SMU of the ACC did. The Mustangs fell behind by three touchdowns to Clemson before coming back to tie. But they ultimately lost 34-31 on a 56-yard field goal as time expired. “We were on pins and needles,” SMU coach Rhett Lashley said. “Until we saw the name ‘SMU’ up there, we were hanging on the edge. We're really, really happy and thankful to the committee for rewarding our guys for their total body of work." The Mustangs only had two losses, compared to three for the Crimson Tide. Even though SMU's schedule wasn't nearly as tough, the committee was impressed by the way the Mustangs came back against Clemson. “We just felt, in this particular case, SMU had the nod above Alabama,” said Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel, the chairman of the selection committee. “But it’s no disrespect to Alabama’s strength of schedule. We looked at the entire body of work for both teams.” Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne was gracious, up to a point. “Disappointed with the outcome and felt we were one of the 12 best teams in the country,” he said on social media. He acknowledged — despite all of Alabama’s losses coming against conference opponents this season — that the Tide’s push to schedule more games against teams from other major conferences in order to improve its strength of schedule did not pay off this time. “That is not good for college football," Byrne said. Georgia, the SEC champion, was seeded second; Boise State, the Mountain West champion, earned the third seed; and Big 12 titlist Arizona State got the fourth seed and the fourth and final first-round bye. All will play in quarterfinals at bowl games on Dec. 31-Jan. 1. Clemson stole a bid and the 12th seed with its crazy win over SMU, the result that ultimately cost Alabama a spot in the field. The Tigers moved to No. 16 in the rankings, but got in as the fifth-best conference winner. The conference commissioners' idea to give conference champions preferable treatment in this first iteration of the 12-team playoff could be up for reconsideration after this season. The committee actually ranked Boise State, the Mountain West Champion, at No. 9 and Big 12 champion Arizona State at No. 12, but both get to skip the first round. Another CFP guideline: There’s no reseeding of teams after each round, which means no break for Oregon. The top-seeded Ducks will face the winner of Tennessee-Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Oregon beat Ohio State 32-31 earlier this year in one of the season’s best games. No. 12 Clemson at No. 5 Texas, Dec. 21. Clemson is riding high after the SMU upset, while Texas is 0-2 against Georgia and 11-0 vs. everyone else this season. The winner faces ... Arizona State in the Peach Bowl. Huh? No. 11 SMU at No. 6 Penn State, Dec. 21. The biggest knock against the Mustangs was that they didn't play any big boys with that 60th-ranked strength of schedule. Well, now they get to. The winner faces ... Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. Yes, SMU vs. Boise was the quarterfinal we all expected. No. 10 Indiana at No. 7 Notre Dame, Dec. 20. Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti thought his team deserved a home game. Well, not quite but close. The winner faces ... Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. The Bulldogs got the No. 2 seed despite a throwing-arm injury to QB Carson Beck. But what else was the committee supposed to do? No. 9 Tennessee at No. 8 Ohio State , Dec. 21. The Buckeyes (losses to Oregon, Michigan) got home field over the Volunteers (losses to Arkansas, Georgia) in a matchup of programs with two of the biggest stadiums in football. The winner faces ... Oregon in the Rose Bowl. Feels like that matchup should come in the semifinals or later. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

As per the information received from the Ministry of Power, 271 EV public charging stations are installed in Chhattisgarh. Published: December 21, 2024 12:37 AM IST By Edited by As many as 25,202 public charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) have been installed in the country to date, the government said on Friday. Karnataka leads with 5,765 EV public charging stations, followed by Maharashtra at 3,728 and Uttar Pradesh at 1,989, Minister of State for Heavy Industries and Steel, Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma, told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply. As per the information received from the Ministry of Power, 271 EV public charging stations are installed in Chhattisgarh. The Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) has been promoting the adoption of EVs in India. On September 29, 2024, the ministry notified the PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) scheme to accelerate EV adoption, establish charging infrastructure and foster the development of the EV manufacturing ecosystem in the country. The scheme has a budget of Rs 10,900 crore for a two-year period. Of the total allocated budget, Rs 2,000 crore has been kept for the installation of EV public charging stations (EVPCS). The Ministry of Power also issued “Guidelines for Installation and Operation of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure-2024” on September 17, outlining standards and protocols to create connected & interoperable EV charging infrastructure networks in the country. Charging infrastructure requirements depend upon the composition of electric vehicles, running patterns, terrain & geography, urbanisation patterns, the technology of EVs and the technology of charging equipment. “Since all these factors are still evolving, there is no global consensus on the number of charging points required for a certain number of EVs,” the minister said. As per the Vahan portal of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the total registered electric two-wheelers in the country now stands at 28,55,015, with electric four-wheelers at 2,57,169 (as on December 4). Meanwhile, the EV charging market in the country is projected to reach $3.7 billion by 2030, led by increasing adoption. Battery swapping, particularly for two- and three-wheelers, is emerging as a popular solution in India, with major auto companies investing in battery-swapping technologies to make EVs more affordable and accessible.

TopicsPrairie premiers urge action on security amid Trump's tariff threats EDMONTON — Leaders of the Prairie provinces are urging Canada to act on American concerns over illegal cross-border traffic of people and drugs to stave off the looming threat of 25 per cent tariffs. Lisa Johnson, The Canadian Press Nov 26, 2024 12:21 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe gestures while speaking during a press conference before throne speech in Regina, Monday, Nov. 25, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Heywood Yu EDMONTON — Leaders of the Prairie provinces are urging Canada to act on American concerns over illegal cross-border traffic of people and drugs to stave off the looming threat of 25 per cent tariffs. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, and Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said Tuesday that Canada must do better to address the concerns of its largest trading partner. Incoming U.S. president Donald Trump promised Monday to impose the tariffs on his first day in office in January. He said he would keep the tariffs in place until Canada and Mexico stop illegal border crossings and prevent drugs such as fentanyl from entering the U.S. Kinew said 25 per cent tariffs would mean a recession for his province and that Canada needs to show the new U.S. administration it's serious about security and tackling the drug crisis. He said it begins with Canada’s pledge to NATO allies to spend two per cent of its gross domestic product on defence by 2032. "First and foremost, (it’s about) hitting that target of two per cent spending on defence,” said Kinew. “That gets us in the game just to be taken seriously as a security partner with the U.S. If we don't do it, it's going to become a trade problem." In a video posted to social media, Alberta's premier said Canada needs to reach its pledged commitment on defence. "If their trade partners are looking to be free riders on American security interests, that's also going to harm the relationship," Smith said, adding, "You also have to take seriously the asylum seekers." Smith added in another post that the incoming Trump administration has "valid concerns related to illegal activities" at the border. The U.S. is Alberta’s largest trading partner, with $188 billion in bilateral trade in 2023. Last year, energy products accounted for more than 80 per cent of that trade, or about $134 billion. Smith said the vast majority of Alberta's energy exports to the U.S. are "delivered through secure and safe pipelines," which "do not in any way contribute to these illegal activities." In Saskatchewan, Moe said he understands Trump’s position on border security. “As Canadians, we can all benefit from additional border security stopping the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across our borders,” he said in a social media post. He said his province plans to use all levers at its disposal to stop the tariffs and will approach the U.S. directly. Moe added the proposed tariffs would hurt Saskatchewan’s export-based economy and drive up prices on both sides of the border. Speaking to CTV early Tuesday, Moe said his government would represent Saskatchewan interests alongside the federal government, fellow premiers "and on our own when necessary." "We have a strong relationship with a number of the administration that President Trump has appointed," Moe said. In 2023, Saskatchewan’s exports to the U.S. amounted to almost $27 billion after hitting a record high of $29 billion in 2022. Its top exports include crude oil, potash and canola. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has convened an emergency meeting for Wednesday with the country's premiers to discuss the tariffs.

Monica Crowley, a former official in President-elect Donald Trump 's first administration, warned Republicans on Friday not to "underestimate" progressive Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez possibly running for president in 2028. Crowley, who served as assistant secretary for public affairs at the U.S. Department of the Treasury from July 2019 to January 2021 and is a former Fox News contributor, joined guest host Lisa Boothe on Fox News' The Ingraham Angle on Friday to discuss Ocasio-Cortez and a potential presidential bid. Ocasio-Cortez, widely known as "AOC," is a New York Democrat recognized for her progressive policy positions, including support for Medicare for All and the Green New Deal, and her vocal presence in Congress . She has represented New York's 14th Congressional District since defeating incumbent Representative Joe Crowley in a surprise 2018 primary upset. Following the 2024 election, in which some of her constituents in the Bronx and Queens voted for Trump, she asked them about ticket splitting on social media. The responses included a variety of reasons, from policy positions to the attitudes of the candidates, with the economy as one of the most mentioned issues. Boothe said that respondents "like her accessibility," adding that "we saw that with Donald Trump as well, being willing to sit down with Joe Rogan , going on X, doing these three hour interviews." Boothe then asked Crowley, "Is it fair to rule her [Ocasio-Cortez] out or is there something there for her?" regarding a potential presidential bid for AOC. Crowley responded that the congresswoman has "tremendous grassroots support" and as she was an "early adopter of social media" she is constantly "connecting directly to voters." However, Crowley added: "The lesson of this last 2024 election and Donald Trump's landslide mandate victory is that the country has had enough of the radical Left, it's had enough of socialism, it's had enough of cancel culture and wokeness, and it rejected roundly all of those things. So, I don't think in four short years the country is going to say, 'We need more communism.'" The congresswoman has not publicly stated she is running for president in 2028. Earlier this month, Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris , the Democratic nominee, in the presidential election, winning both the popular vote and the Electoral College. Down the ballot, Republicans secured majorities in both chambers of Congress. "Just a word of warning to the Republicans, to my party, do not underestimate AOC, she's young, she's vibrant, she's attractive," Crowley said on Friday. "I think she's wrong on everything, but she does have real grassroot support. And all the energy and activism in the Democrat party remains with the revolutionary left, of which she is a part." She continued: "So, every time the Republicans have underestimated the Democrats, we ended up with Bill Clinton , Barack Obama , and Joe Biden . So, let's not do it again in four years." Newsweek has reached out to Ocasio-Cortez's press team for comment via email on Saturday. Newsweek has filed out a contact request form with the Republican National Committee (RNC) on Saturday. Party shifts often happen during periods of dissatisfaction with the incumbent party and are fairly common after one party holds the presidency for two terms, although not always the case. President Clinton's tenure was sandwiched between Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush . Similarly, President Obama served between Republican Presidents Bush and Trump, while President Joe Biden's term came between Trump's two terms. Ocasio-Cortez has been vocal about the future of the Democratic Party , writing a strong critique of former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's potential bid for Democratic National Committee ( DNC ) chair earlier this month. "There is a disease in Washington of Democrats who spend more time listening to the donor class than working people," she wrote on X, formerly Twitter . "If you want to know the seed of the party's political crisis, that's it." The congresswoman further emphasized her opposition, writing that the DNC needs "an organizer who gets people. Not someone who sends fish heads in the mail," referencing Emanuel's notorious aggressive political tactics.
