A Chinatown resident took the City of Vancouver and the Vancouver Police Department to court over a surveillance truck parked near her apartment. Karina Papenbrock-Ryan alleged the VPD violated her privacy and charter rights when it left its surveillance trailer on East Pender Street four years ago. The force calls the machine its . It consists of cameras and other equipment mounted on wheels. Police placed it outside the Chinese Cultural Centre in April 2020 in response to racist graffiti referencing COVID-19, the holocaust, and threatening violence against Asian people. The trailer was about one and a half blocks from Papenbrock-Ryan’s condominium. She estimated she walked through its field of view about 10 times without knowing what it was. When she saw a social media post explaining that it had cameras, she decided to modify her route so she wouldn’t walk past it anymore. “Ms. Papenbrock-Ryan describes this action as a test case dealing with the rights of the public to be free from mass surveillance by means of video cameras deployed in a public place or, put differently, general video surveillance without a specific investigative purpose,” judge Bruce Elwood wrote in his . Elwood dismissed Papenbrock-Elwood’s action but thanked her for bringing it forward. The case focused on whether her privacy was breached. Elwood explained there are already laws governing continually recorded police surveillance of public spaces, facial recognition technology, collection of personal information by the VPD, targeted surveillance during a criminal investigation, and the admissibility of video evidence during a criminal trial. The surveillance trailer records its video locally on a hard drive that’s wiped clean every four days unless an officer tries to access it. Though the judge accepted that Papenbrock-Elwood would have walked through its field of view, there’s nothing to suggest that a VPD officer accessed, reviewed, or distributed any images of her. Given the totality of circumstances, the judge didn’t think her privacy was violated. “At most, the footage of Ms. Papenbrock-Ryan would have disclosed her gender, her general appearance, her direction of travel, her mode of travel, and the date and time when she passed by,” the judge wrote. “It would not have revealed where she lives, where she works, where she was going, her religious or political beliefs, with whom she associates or any other biographical information about her.” Pepenbrock-Elwood’s privacy concerns also had to be balanced against community concerns following the hateful graffiti. “Provided it was working at the time, the [trailer] may have recorded a criminal act in progress, an image of a suspect, their direction and mode of travel, etc.” the judge wrote. “However, its primary purposes were to serve as a physical and psychological deterrent, and to reassure the community.” The judge looked at screenshots from the trailer and estimated its field of view at about 40 square metres. Its cameras were aimed at the Chinese Cultural Centre. The surveillance trailer ended up being removed in June 2020. It suffered technical difficulties that led to it not recording for several days. During that time, the trailer itself was tagged with graffiti.CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals took care of business and won three straight games for the first time this season. Cincinnati is playing its best football, but it might be too late to sneak into the playoffs, with five teams battling for the two remaining AFC postseason spots. At 7-8, the Bengals are on the bubble along with two other teams that have the same record, the Colts and Dolphins. To have a chance, the Bengals will need to beat the visiting Denver Broncos (9-6) on Saturday, then try to take down the Steelers (10-5) at Pittsburgh in the regular-season finale. They'll need some help from other teams, too. The rub for the Bengals is that they have yet to beat a team with a winning record this season. Now with some momentum for the first time, the Bengals will have to clear that hurdle. “It’s just what it’s supposed to feel like for us. This is our expectation," coach Zac Taylor said after the Bengals beat the Cleveland Browns 24-6 on Sunday. “We just put ourselves in a position to now play some real meaningful games. ... We found a way to get the win and now we can turn our focus to a short week and the Denver Broncos.” What's working Joe Burrow became the first player in NFL history to throw for at least 250 yards and three or more touchdowns in seven consecutive games. One of his TD passes, to Tee Higgins, came as he was falling down. He finished 23 for 30 for 252 yards. ... Ja'Marr Chase continues to build his resume as he strives to win the receiving “triple crown.” He had six catches for 97 yards and a touchdown against the Browns and leads the league in receptions, yards and TDs. ... K Cade York tied a franchise record with a 59-yard field goal. “The guys have responded this way all season,” Taylor said. “We lost some heartbreakers to be quite frank, and games that just came down to the end. It doesn’t mean that we’ve had a bad football team and we weren’t in it. We’ve been in this, and now — I don’t want to say getting our confidence back, because we’ve had confidence — but we’re just making the plays necessary at the critical points of the game to take control of these games. That’s really what’s happened the last three weeks, and we’ve got to continue that.” What needs help Burrow has fumbled 10 times this season. Against the Browns, he lost a fumble on a strip-sack with the Bengals on the Cleveland 2-yard-line. Stock up Last week, S Jordan Battle scooped a fumble and ran it all the way back, only to fumble as he crossed the goal line, leading to a touchback. Against the Browns, he intercepted a second-half pass from Dorian Thompson-Robinson in the end zone. The Bengals' defense has nine takeaways in the past two games. Stock down Cincinnati's depleted offensive line allowed four sacks. Injuries The offensive line took a hit when tackle Amarius Mims went out with an ankle injury and didn't return. Key number 5.1 — Yards per carry by RB Chase Brown, who seems to get better every week. He had 18 carries for 91 yards. Next steps The Bengals continue their improbable effort to slip into the playoffs when they host the Broncos in their home finale on Saturday. They finish the season the following week at Pittsburgh. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL Mitch Stacy, The Associated Press

East Carolina wins 71-64 over StetsonAs if his performance on the court wasn't disappointing enough, the center's lackluster showing was further highlighted by the stellar play of Liaoning's dominant center, Liu Chuanxing. Liu outclassed his Beijing counterpart in every aspect of the game, showcasing his strength, skills, and basketball IQ. With Liu's commanding presence in the paint, Beijing simply had no answer, and the game slipped further out of their grasp.NoneAs Manchester United navigates through this period of transition and uncertainty, it is clear that significant changes are needed to address the issues plaguing the club. Whether it's restructuring the leadership team, making strategic signings in the transfer market, or appointing a new manager, the club must act decisively to restore confidence and competitiveness on the pitch. Only time will tell what the future holds for Manchester United, but one thing is certain – change is on the horizon.
As the final buzzer sounded and the Knicks celebrated their hard-earned victory, the focus turned to Barnes and his recovery from the ankle injury.

The article highlights two top artificial intelligence (AI) stocks to buy now: Dell and Amazon. Dell is a market leader in data center infrastructure, with a growing addressable market in AI and a strong track record of revenue growth. Amazon's data processing capabilities are also expanding, driven by its Amazon Web Services (AWS) segment, which accounts for 60% of the company's operating income. Both stocks offer long-term growth potential, and investors can consider strategies like dollar-cost averaging or buying on dips to mitigate risk. Analysts have raised their price targets for Dell, and Amazon's stock trades below its five-year averages, making them attractive buys in the current market. The bull market on Wall Street persists, aided by stocks like Nvidia and Microsoft , which are posting tremendous results on the back of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. Knowing when to invest with the market near all-time highs is difficult. Many people feel the bull market will continue with a perceived business-friendly incoming administration and Big Tech investments in AI. These companies are forecast to pour $250 billion into capital expenditures next year alone. And, as shown below, revenue from AI could exceed $820 billion by 2030. Are You Missing The Morning Scoop? Wake up with Breakfast news in your inbox every market day. Sign Up For Free » This doesn't mean stocks will continue rising; there are always risks. I'll discuss buying strategies in a bull market below. But first, here are two very different companies that could each provide excellent long-term returns. Dell's enormous data center opportunity The number of hyperscale data centers (those over 100,000 square feet) eclipsed 1,000 this year, and the forecast is for at least 120 to come online annually for the foreseeable future. These massive centers, some over 1 million square feet, need infrastructure like servers. Dell (NYSE: DELL) is a market leader in this area. Dell's Infrastructure Solutions Group recorded record revenue last quarter, $11.6 billion, with 38% growth. The company's total sales increased 9% to $25 billion for the quarter. Dell believes its addressable market in AI will be $124 billion and its total infrastructure market $265 billion by 2027. Recent developments at its competitor Super Micro Computer likely mean Dell will capture even more of this market than previously expected. Supermicro is reeling from a short report, delayed financial filings, and the resignation of its auditors. Its public struggles should benefit its competition. As evidence, analysts have been busy raising their Dell price targets this month. Wells Fargo raised its target from $140 to $160 per share, while Morgan Stanley raised its target from $136 to $154. The targets are 7% to 11% above the current price; however, if Dell continues to dominate the server market, analysts will likely raise them again. Shareholders also benefit from a dividend and share buyback program that returned a combined $1 billion last quarter. Dell expects to increase its dividend by 10% annually through at least fiscal 2028. The AI opportunity, competitor struggles, and rising price targets make Dell a tempting stock to own for the next several years. Amazon's gigantic data processing opportunity Moving from a company that supplies data centers to one that builds them leads to Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) . For instance, construction has begun on Amazon's $11 billion data center in Indiana. These centers are key to increasing the processing and storage capacity of Amazon Web Services (AWS). Some people still think of Amazon as a product company, but AWS is the straw that stirs Amazon's drink. The segment accounted for 60% of Amazon's $60.5 billion operating income over the last 12 months. It posted an extremely impressive operating margin of 38% last quarter compared to 5% for the other two segments combined. As shown below, Amazon's operating cash flow exploded with a lot of help from AWS. Amazon stock trades below its five-year averages based on sales, operating cash flow per share, and earnings, a rarity in today's record-setting market. So, what's the best way to invest in a raging bull market? Investing at the top of a market is risky, but it's important not to try to time the market. Just because the major indexes are near all-time highs doesn't mean they can't go higher. Here are two strategies to mitigate risk. First, consider dollar-cost averaging -- accumulating shares over several months. This allows you to take advantage of declines in the stock price and limits the risk of buying at a market top. Or, consider a "buy-the-dip" strategy. The market frequently experiences corrections (declines greater than 10%); however, we haven't experienced one in 2024, although there was one in 2023, four in 2022, and five in 2020. However you choose to invest, consider Dell and Amazon for a piece of the AI market. Don’t miss this second chance at a potentially lucrative opportunity Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you’ll want to hear this. On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a “Double Down” stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop.

UL safety Kody Jackson (28) celebrates his first of two interceptions during th Cajuns' 37-23 road win over ULM on Saturday. Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save MONROE There are times when an injury reveals a player ready to flourish. That may be the case with UL’s redshirt safety Kody Jackson. With his second straight start, the Evangel Christian product delivered in a big way again to help the Ragin’ Cajuns defeat ULM 37-23 Saturday at Malone Stadium. “He’s just a ball player,” UL coach Michael Desormeaux said of Jackson. “A guy like him you count on to make plays and every week he does.” UL’s offense struggled in the first half of Saturday’s win with two turnovers and two punts. Ironically, it was the redshirt freshman safety who saved the day with two interceptions to keep the Warhawks from gaining too much momentum. And incredibly, he’s always talking like a veteran. “For both of them, it’s really the D-line,” Jackson said of his two picks. “They get back there and they get the pressure. They affect the quarterback and that gives me a chance to go make a play. “The linebackers and the other guys in the secondary, it’s all a team thing. I was just the one that had the ball today, but it’s a team thing.” Jackson’s first interception set up UL’s first touchdown and the second one came one play after a UL turnover. “Honestly, it was the call from coach (defensive coordinator Jim) Salgado,” Jackson said. “He believed it was going to be pass, so he called a play with it being pass. I just played my zone and executed the play. Jackson gave Salgado credit for the big picture as well. “Coach Salgado at practice, he always tells us to prepare,” Jackson said. “He always says when you’re shot is up, you have to be prepared. You have to work like you’re a starter. Whenever I got my chance, that really helped me out.” With three interceptions already, it’s easy to see why Jackson almost started the season at safety. “Coming into the season, he’s a guy that we thought maybe was going to be the starter out there,” Desormeaux said. “Coming out of fall camp, Jalen Clark just kind of outplayed him a little bit, so he didn’t play a ton early. “He didn’t stop working. He kept playing on special teams and made a ton of plays on teams. Then he got his opportunity – Jalen’s kind of banged up and Skip (Tyree Skipper) is out. That’s what you want, go in there and go play.” More turnovers For the second time in the last three games, the Cajuns had multiple turnovers in a game. It was only the third time all season UL did so. The first two occasions both resulted in losses – Tulane 41-33 and South Alabama 24-22. The first one was a pass intercepted by Lynard Harris, thanks to a tipped pass by Tyrese Hopkins off quarterback Chandler Fields. “The interception was not a very good play by Chandler,” Desormeaux said. “He kind of screwed it up a little bit from the beginning. It happens. The first quarter just wasn’t real clean. Again, it happens.” At 5-foot-10, UL quarterback Chandler Fields had three balls batted down with a 5-foot-10 frame, compared to injured starting quarterback Ben Wooldridge standing 6-foot-3. The second one was a fumble by running back Zylan Perry at the end of a 16-yard run at the UL 48. “The fumble, we’re fighting for extra yards,” Desormeaux said of the fumble. “You can’t lose the game. The ball is the most important things we’ve got.” At the time of the first, Perry wasn’t even sure he’d return to the field for what turned out to be his career day with 150 rushing yards. “The fumble really threw me off,” Perry said. “I didn’t know if I would get back in. “I was trying to throw somebody off me and the ball was just loose. It popped out by itself. Nobody even touched it.” Injury report While Jackson’s play has eased the recent losses of safeties Skipper and Clark, there were other developing issues on the injury front out of Saturday’s win. The biggest one – literally – might be left tackle King McGowen, who left the game in the first half and didn’t return. Right tackle George Jackson missed last week’s game and had limited duty this week. “We had a plan to rotate,” Desormeaux said. “George wasn’t 100%. He pushed through and did a great job for us today. George Jackson was huge. We were trying to keep King’s reps limited like we always do. Then I guess in the second quarter, he came out and couldn’t go back in. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get him back.” Bryant Williams filled in at left tackle for McGowen. Cooper Fordham did play at center, but Desormeaux said that wasn’t because of an injury to starter Landon Burton. “Landon’s good,” he explained. “We just wanted to get Cooper in there.” Cornerback Keyon Martin left the game twice with an injury, but fortunately walked behind Desormeaux’s postgame interview spot with a huge smile. “Good to see Keyon,” said Desormeaux, who said the injury that looked more serious was a stinger.

House Ethics Committee accuses Gaetz of ‘regularly’ paying for sex, including with 17-year-old girlOTTAWA — Canada is considering supplying the RCMP and border agency with more resources including drones, helicopters and personnel in case of a "surge" at the border, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Tuesday in response to Donald Trump's threat to impose steep tariffs on Canadian imports into the U.S. The president-elect threatened to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports unless action is taken to stem the flow of both migrants and illegal drugs crossing the border. "As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before," Trump said on Truth Social on Monday night. LeBlanc said his office has been working with finance officials, the RCMP and the Canada Border Services Agency "for months" to see what is needed and feasible. The minister added that Canada shares many of the same concerns as the Americans when it comes to illegal migration, and drugs and other contraband making its way across the border. LeBlanc said Canadian agencies work collaboratively with their U.S. counterparts. "For decades, this collaborative work happening literally daily with American authorities and Canadian authorities has allowed us to keep both countries safe, including dealing with some of the real challenges around the opioid crisis," LeBlanc said. Immigration Minister Marc Miller was asked on Tuesday about deploying more officers to oversee the New York-Vermont border area, which sees the highest rates of illegal crossings from Canada into the United States. He cautioned that there is no comparison to the flow of migrants entering the U.S. from Mexico. "It's the equivalent on a yearly basis with a significant weekend at the Mexico border. At the same time, it's not something I want to not take seriously, because it is serious," Miller said. "We have a job to not make our problems the Americans' problems and they have a job not to make their problems ours." U.S. Customs and Border Protection data shows its officers recorded nearly 200,000 encounters at the northern border between October 2023 and September 2024. The same period in 2022 saw more than 109,000 encounters and there were around 32,000 in 2020. The term "encounters" includes apprehensions, people who are deemed inadmissible and those who are expelled from the U.S. Between October 2023 and September 2024, U.S. officials recorded more than two million encounters at the Mexican border. The two prior years also saw more than 2 million encounters each at the southern border. Chief border patrol agent Robert Garcia said last month on X that agents in the Swanton Sector, which covers Vermont's border with Quebec, apprehended more than 19,000 people from 97 countries in the last year — more than the last 17 years combined. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said it also seized nearly 5,000 kilograms of illegal drugs at the Canadian border between October 2023 and September 2024. That included 19.5 kilograms of fentanyl. Comparatively, border agents seized nearly 125,000 kilograms of narcotics at the border with Mexico, including almost 10,000 kilograms of fentanyl. According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, two milligrams of fentanyl is a potentially fatal dose. Cannabis is by far the most commonly seized drug coming from Canada, accounting for almost 60 per cent of total seizures. From Mexico it's methamphetamine, accounting for about 57 per cent of seizures at the southern border. Drug seizures coming from Canada to the U.S. are down significantly from the prior two years, according to border patrol data: about 25,000 kilograms of narcotics were seized between October 2022 and September 2023, down from about 27,200 kilograms in the year before. Both Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet called on the Trudeau government to ensure the border is secure on Tuesday. Poilievre focused on government data that was raised at the immigration committee on Monday that said 4.9 million people will have their Canadian visas expire by the end of December 2025. In question period Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the "overwhelming majority" of people leave when their visas expire and there are measures in the immigration system to deal with cases where that does not happen. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she is open to talks with the Trump administration on the tariff issue, but said drugs were a "public health and consumption" issue in the U.S. She added most of the weapons entering Mexico are smuggled in through the U.S. In recent months the RCMP have announced two significant operations with ties to Mexican drug cartels. This includes the arrest of three men in Surrey, B.C., earlier this month, who police say are connected to an organized crime group with ties to Mexican drug cartels. Police seized "multiple kilos" of illicit drugs, and said the accused were allegedly "planning large-scale distribution" of drugs out of Surrey. In October, the RCMP, FBI and other policing partners arrested nine Canadians in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. The accused are alleged to have ties to a Mexico cartel-linked criminal network. Charges include murder, conspiracy to commit murder and drug trafficking.
