genie drawing easy Cardinal David: Victims of unjust detention must be compensatedNo. 2 Ohio State answered the call against the No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers. Despite the buzz surrounding Indiana's surprise 10-0 start under first-year head coach Curt Cignetti, the Buckeyes shut down any hopes of an upset early. Ohio State entered halftime with a one-touchdown lead and outscored Indiana by 17 points in the second half to cruise to a 38-15 victory. Unsurprisingly, there was some trolling from Ohio State directed at Indiana during and after the big win. From Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard's touchdown celebration to OSU head coach Ryan Day tacking on an extra score late in the game, the Buckeyes had some words for the Hoosiers. NCAAF HQ: Live NCAAF scores | Updated NCAAF standings | Full NCAAF schedule Did Ryan Day run up the score? You be the judge here. Indiana found the end zone for the second time Saturday with 1:53 remaining in the game. The Buckeyes were expected to just run the ball for a first down and either run out the clock or kneel down to ice the win at Ohio Stadium. But Buckeyes running back TreVeon Henderson ran 38 yards and went down right at the Indiana 1-yard line with 1:10 left on the clock. Instead of kneeling down, Day decided to add insult to injury and punch the ball into the end zone. His quarterback Will Howard scored on a one-yard run to give Ohio State a 23-point lead. After the game, Day told reporters that he wanted to put an exclamation point on the game.

Will Howard trolls Curt Cignetti: 'Google that!' First, a brief backstory: During one of Cignetti's first Indiana press conferences last December, the new head coach was asked about how he planned to sell his visions to recruits. His response went viral , as he said: "It's pretty simple, I win — Google me." Indiana Coach Curt Cignetti: I win. Google me.

He clarified that he was just having fun, and that he has plenty of respect for Indiana and for Cignetti. “I was just having some fun with it. I got a lot of respect for those guys, man. I think what coach Cignetti’s done over there, he’s done a heck of a job.” @JennyTaft asked @OhioStateFB QB Will Howard about the ‘Google me’ reaction 😅 pic.twitter.com/1G8VxL36fF While these two teams won't meet again in the Big Ten title game with Oregon already locked into one of the spots, we could get a rematch in the College Football Playoff.

South Korean president's failed attempt at martial law may put his position in perilMcKewon: After seniors build bowl bridge, Matt Rhule and Nebraska football’s ‘Leap Year’ is hereThe Los Angeles Dodgers may have won the World Series in 2024, but that does not mean they are content with their roster. They could look to bring in another impact bat in free agency. While making predictions for free agents this offseason, Bleacher Report's Erik Beaston predicted that the Dodgers will sign Willy Adames despite USA Today's Bob Nightengale revealing the Boston Red Sox are interested in him now as well. "It still feels like Adames is a better fit for the Dodgers given the world champs' need at the position, but the Red Sox appear determined to get free-agent signings done this year amid mounting frustration with their recent lack of success," wrote Beaston. The Boston Red Sox had not been linked to Adames earlier in the offseason, but a new report suggests they are looking to add him and move Rafael Devers from third base. "The Red Sox also have strong interest in All-Star free-agent shortstop Willy Adames, who is willing to move to third base," wrote Nightengale. "They have scheduled an upcoming meeting and have internally discussed moving Rafael Devers off third base." Adames is the best shortstop available, but moving him to third base is not out of the question. The Dodgers would not need Adames to change positions. They need a shortstop if they want Mookie Betts to play second base. The shortstop position was inconsistent, to say the least. Betts started the year there, but moved back to right field after a stint on the injured list. Adames started 161 games at shortstop last year during a career season. Spotrac projects him to sign a $152 million deal in free agency. He hit 32 home runs, tallied 112 RBIs and 21 stolen bases last year.

OTTAWA—The Liberals plan to dole out $250 cheques to Canadians is now facing pressure from one of their own, with MP Chad Collins saying he won’t support the measure unless more people are included. Collins, who is in his first term as the MP for Hamilton East-Stoney Creek, said the $250 cheque proposal the government announced last week must also be available to seniors and people with disabilities. The measure is currently limited to people who worked in 2023 and made less than $150,000. “We cannot leave out a large portion of our population who cannot supplement their income through employment. Seniors and people with disabilities face the same economic challenges as working Canadians. They deserve our support,” he said in a statement. Collins said he advised the government of his view this weekend and believes he is not alone among the Liberal caucus in looking for this change. “On Saturday evening I advised the government that I cannot support an affordability package that does not include support for seniors and people with disabilities. Two opposition parties are also demanding similar changes leaving the government’s affordability package in limbo. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh signalled Monday he wants to see eligibility for the cheques extended beyond working Canadians to include seniors, people with disabilities, those receiving unemployment benefits and anyone — particularly students — who joined the workforce for the first time last year. He wasn’t the only leader to push for more to secure the swift passage of the measure: the Bloc Québécois’ Yves-François Blanchet told reporters in French that those “who have actually worked all their lives” must be included, describing the cash handouts as a crude move to win votes. The demands come as Justin Trudeau’s rivals seek to leverage last week’s unveiling of a multibillion-dollar affordability package for their own political gain. The GST cut would be applied to children’s clothes, toys, diapers and car seats. The Liberals have pledged to introduce a two-month GST cut on a number of grocery and holiday essentials, among other items. They would also send $250 to Canadians who worked in 2023, filed their tax return for that year by the end of 2024, and earned up to $150,000. All told, the measures would cost $6.3 billion. Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland on Monday justified the measures, in part, as a way to combat what she called a “vibecession,” or the “disconnect” between Canadians’ feelings about the economy and broader, positive economic signals. “Canadians aren’t feeling it, and that is shaping their economic behaviour in ways that are not great for the Canadian economy,” she told reporters. But the Liberals need opposition support to pass the package of pledges — and to pause a that has brought most parliamentary business to a standstill. Singh said Monday he was prepared to back the Trudeau government’s planned GST holiday, after he proposed a more comprehensive version of the tax cut one week earlier. “We want to see the GST holiday happen right away. We know that people are feeling squeezed. They need a break this winter. So let’s pass the GST holiday. And the Liberals need to fix the cheques,” he said. Singh stopped short of stating whether he would block the passage of rebates if the government introduces that portion of the legislation unchanged. But a senior NDP source who spoke to the Star on the condition they not be named said the Liberals won’t be able to force the NDP to back the measure until it meets the party’s expectations. The New Democrats have said they would introduce a so-called “programming” motion to temporarily suspend a Conservative-led effort to stall House of Commons proceedings. Begun in late September, it is a bid to compel the Liberals to release more documents related to a scandal-riddled — and now-defunct — green technology funding agency. The pause would theoretically allow the Liberals’ legislation to be debated and passed in a single day. The NDP source said the party may not even move forward with such a motion until their demands are met, saying “there’s no possibility, really, of this going to a vote until they get that part repaired.” Two senior Liberal sources with knowledge of discussions between the government and the NDP said talks are ongoing and that the GST pause and the $250 payments could be contained in one piece of legislation or two. It could also be separate from other legislation that may come out of the fall economic statement. One insider, on the condition of anonymity, said “it depends on how any agreement comes together, including on who all is included” in the measures. The Conservatives’ filibuster has prevented the Liberals from scheduling the presentation of its economic update, and allowing MPs to vote on the government’s supplementary estimates, which requires parliament’s approval for more than $21 billion in spending on a range of measures. Freeland said Monday that the government is having “energetic conversations” with other parties, but did not say when the legislation to enact the affordability package will be tabled. Trudeau, in a TVA interview in Montreal on Monday, defended the decision to offer GST cuts that he insisted will benefit everyone, and to send $250 cheques to certain Canadians. Trudeau said his government has already done a lot for seniors, listing enhanced old-age payments for those over 75, and the extension of publicly-paid dental care to all seniors. He also said child-care supports have helped families, and noted the government has not extended free dental care to “40-year-old workers” who also didn’t have access to other government supports but will now receive a bit of relief to “help them with ... the cost of living.” The prime minister said Ottawa can afford the measures because Canada’s economic indicators are “hyper-positive” vis-à-vis G7 partners, with Canada having the lowest deficit, and receiving higher direct foreign investment than its peers. But, he added, many Canadians are still feeling squeezed. Both Freeland and Procurement Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said Monday the one-time, temporary measures will not create any new “structural” deficit, meaning it won’t add year-over-year spending to the annual budget which is already in the red. In a statement to the Star, Freeland’s office said the $250 payments will be “clearly labelled” as the affordability measure they are intended to be, whether delivered via direct deposit or by cheque. It may also go to those whose income comes from working or from investment income, the statement said. “The $250 rebate is for all Canadians who worked in 2023 and earned up to $150,000 in net income. That means revenue from all sources, minus your allowable deductions,” said Freeland spokesperson Katherine Cuplinskas.Children are being recruited into Haitian armed gangs at an alarming rate, UNICEF says

Capitol Notebook: Iowans tell U.S. GOP Sen. Joni Ernst to reject RFK Jr. as health secretaryWe all love smelling incredible, but that doesn’t mean we love paying high-end prices for sophisticated and luxurious smelling perfumes. Luckily, social media users have discovered an uncanny dupe of this €150 YSL scent. High-end perfumes are a fabulous luxury to have, however the price-tags can be hefty! TikTok users have discovered a high street dupe for a well-known and popular high-end perfume for a fraction of the cost. Read more: Beauty lovers say €24 body spray is a dupe for €245 viral luxury perfume Read more: Skincare fans rave about Charlotte Tilbury dupe for only €11.10 that brought 'skin back to life' If you’re on the hunt for a new scent that won’t break the bank, then look no further than Zara! Zara offers an extensive range of perfumes and body sprays, but their scent named “Golden Decade” is going viral on social media for being an undeniable dupe for Yves Saint Laurent’s perfume “Libre”. YSL’s scent is described as a grand floral Eau de Parfum with orange blossom flowers from Morocco and the aroma of lavender from France. Zara’s “Golden Decade” captures similar notes of orange blossom and lavender and is described on the Zara website as being: “enveloping, warm and elegant eau de parfum for the woman who wants to transmit a sense of freedom and express her emotions to the extreme. A modern white floral bouquet (jasmine, orange blossom) sublimated by the juicy facets of mandarin reveals the seductive side of every woman. A sweet and addictive lavender adds a final touch with its original and unparalleled facets.” The most notable difference between the two scents is without a doubt the price tags, with a 90 ml bottle of YSL’s famous eau de parfum priced at a whopping €150, and 80 ml of Zara’s duplicate for the high-end scent retailing for €22.95! An absolute no brainer if you ask us! When TikTok users caught wind of this dupe , they went absolutely crazy for it, with one user saying: “smells incredibly beautiful and identical to Libre Intense.

A third user commented: “my most complimented as well! It lasts up to one day for me.” Zara is known for recreating the smell of high-end perfumes for a much more reasonable price tag and “Golden Decade” is not the only example of them doing this. Zara has also created a dupe for Maison Francis Kurkdjan Baccarat Rouge 540, which will set you back €245, with “Red Temptation” for only €29.95.Mexico's lower house passes constitutional ban on e-cigarettes, vapes

VERMILLION, S.D. — A touchdown pass with 12 seconds left delivered one of try biggest wins in University of South Dakota football history. Quarterback Aidan Bouman dropped back and found a wide open Javion Phelps streaking down the sideline for a 25-yard touchdown to put the No. 4 Coyotes up 29-28 on No. 1 North Dakota State on Saturday at the DakotaDome in Vermillion. The rest was history as the one-point gap stood as the game’s final score. “Javion made a good play, he found a pocket and we scored,” Bouman said. “We took a sack the play before which wasn’t good, you always want to get the ball out (while running the two-minute drill), but guys got up and got to the ball just we practice. “Guys just made plays. I just had to get the ball out and give guys a chance.” The win earned USD a share of the Missouri Valley Football Conference crown for the first time in program history, which is split three ways with NDSU and South Dakota State. “I’ve been here six years and saw some of the older guys around today,” said defensive lineman Blake Holden, who was one of many seniors recognized before the game. “Growing up a Coyotes fan and living out my childhood dream, doing something that no other team here has done is just surreal. “This win just shows the loyalty and dedication the guys that have been around here and have stuck it out.” The Coyotes (9-2) got out to a 14-0 lead behind a pair of Travis Theis rushing scores. USD’s defense was dominant to start the game. Though NDSU would find ways to move the ball eventually, mainly in the form of quarterback Cam Miller, the Bison’s first nine offensive plays of the game went for a combined nine yards and resulted in a trio of three-and-outs. “I’m very proud of these guys,” said USD head coach Bob Nielson. “We got out the early lead but watched (NDSU) come back and take the lead and just kept playing. “It’s the game it should have been. Championship games should come down to the wire. Doing something that no other team at South Dakota has done is certainly a special accomplishment. But we feel like we have a lot more left to accomplish.” Theis capped off the first USD scoring drive by taking a direct snap and diving over the goal line from six yards out to give the Coyotes a 7-0 lead with 6 minutes, 35 seconds left. He then went in from 12 yards out for his second score as he found a seem on the edge and took it in with 12:44 left in the second to put his team up 14-0 with just under 13 minutes left in the second quarter. North Dakota State bounced back with a 23-yard scoring pass from Miller to Braylon Henderson to cut the USD lead in half. CharMar Brown tied it on a 3-yard rushing score. “We just kept trust in ourselves and stuck to our game plan,” said USD senior defensive back Dennis Shorter. USD responded by taking the lead back on a 37-yard Will Leyland field goal but then saw NDSU answer with 14 unanswered points as Miller rushed in for a touchdown and Brown scored on a 1-yard run with 4:10 left in the fourth quarter to cap off a 20-play, 99-yard drive after USD downed a punt at NDSU 1. “You never think its over until the clock hits zero,” Bouman said. “(During the NDSU drive) I was just pacing up and down the sideline telling guys we need to score (quickly) when we get it back.” The Coyotes’ D held again and Bouman found Jack Martens for a 40-yard TD. South Dakota won possession back with around 1 1⁄2 minutes left and went 58 yards on six plays as Bouman found Phelps for the winner. For NDSU, Miller ended the game 10-22 passing for 174 yards plus 19 carries for 82 yards and two total touchdowns (one rushing, one passing). Brown had two scores and wound up with 54 yards rushing on 10 carries. RaJa Nelson, Bryce Lance and Henderson all had three catches for NDSU as the team had four receivers end the contest with between 40 and 50 yards. Bouman, a redshirt junior, completed 18 of 30 passes for the Coyotes for 272 yards the pair of TDs. Theis, a senior running back, totaled 13 carries for 66 yards plus two TDs while Charles Pierre Jr. and Keyondray Jones-Logan combined for 11 carries and 64 yards. Theis also chipped in four catches for 45 yards. Phelps’ catches all came at opportune times as he ended with 79 yards receiving. Senior Carter Bell hauled in four receptions that went for 60 yards and Martens had two catches for 51 yards. The win solidifies USD’s spot among the teams that will receive a first-round bye in the FCS playoffs and a second-round home game, but USD will find out its fate on Sunday during the NCAA selection show. “That was a heck of a football game,” said Nielson. “This team set out on a mission almost a year ago. The only thing they’ve been focused on was winning a championship. We won one today (a conference title), but that’s not the only one we want, and we’re going to have a chance to play for another one. “There’s a lot more out there for this team, so we’ll see where the bracket shakes out and get back to work.”Rams' offense is struggling, but the defense has put LA on the brink of an NFC West titleTrump's Republican Party is increasingly winning union voters. It's a shift seen in his labor pick WASHINGTON (AP) — Working-class voters helped Republicans make steady election gains this year and expanded a coalition that increasingly includes rank-and-file union members. It's a political shift spotlighting one of President-elect Donald Trump’s latest Cabinet picks: a GOP congresswoman, who has drawn labor support, to be his labor secretary. Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer narrowly lost her bid for a second term this month, despite strong backing from union members. They're a key part of the Democratic base but are gravitating in the Trump era toward a Republican Party traditionally allied with business interests. Trump raced to pick many Cabinet posts. He took more time to settle on a treasury secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump launched a blitz of picks for his Cabinet, but he took his time settling on billionaire investor Scott Bessent as his choice for treasury secretary. The Republican not only wanted someone who jibes with him, but an official who can execute his economic vision and look straight out of central casting while doing so. With his Yale University education and pedigree trading for Soros Fund Management before establishing his own funds, Bessent will be tasked with a delicate balancing act. Trump expects him to help reset the global trade order, enable trillions of dollars in tax cuts, ensure inflation stays in check, manage a ballooning national debt and still keep the financial markets confident. Trump chooses Bessent to be treasury secretary, Vought as budget chief, Chavez-DeRemer for Labor WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has chosen hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, an advocate for deficit reduction, to serve as his next treasury secretary. Bessent, 62, is founder of hedge fund Key Square Capital Management. He previously had worked on and off for Soros Fund Management since 1991. Trump also said he would nominate Russell Vought, 48, to lead the Office of Management and Budget, a position he held during Trump's first term. And Trump chose Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, an Oregon Republican, as his labor secretary, and Scott Turner, a former football player who worked in Trump’s first administration, as his housing secretary. Afraid of losing the US-Canada trade pact, Mexico alters its laws and removes Chinese parts MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico has been taking a bashing for allegedly serving as a conduit for Chinese parts and products into North America. Officials here are terrified that a re-elected Donald Trump or politically struggling Justin Trudeau could simply expel their country from the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement. Mexico's ruling Morena party is so afraid its has gone on a campaign to get companies to replace Chinese parts with locally made ones. And its legislators are consciously tweaking the wording of major laws to try to make them compatible with the trade pact's language. Mexico hopes the rules of the trade pact would prevent the U.S. or Canada from simply walking away. US budget airlines are struggling. Will pursuing premium passengers solve their problems? DALLAS (AP) — Delta and United Airlines have become the most profitable U.S. airlines by targeting premium customers while also winning a significant share of budget travelers. That is squeezing smaller low-fare carriers like Spirit Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday. Some travel industry experts think Spirit’s troubles indicate less-wealthy passengers will have fewer choices and higher prices. Other discount airlines are on better financial footing but also are lagging far behind the full-service airlines when it comes to recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most industry experts think Frontier and other so-called ultra-low-cost carriers will fill the vacuum if Spirit shrinks, and that there's still plenty of competition to prevent prices from spiking. What to know about Scott Bessent, Trump's pick for treasury secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has chosen money manager Scott Bessent, an advocate for deficit reduction and deregulation, to serve as his next treasury secretary. Bessent is a past supporter of Democrats who has become an enthusiastic supporter of Trump. He’s an advocate of cutting spending while extending the tax cuts approved by Congress in Trump’s first term. He has said tariffs imposed during a second Trump administration would be directed primarily at China. What to know about Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Trump's pick for labor secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has named Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer to lead the Department of Labor, elevating a Republican congresswoman who has strong support from unions in her district but lost reelection in November. Chavez-DeRemer has a legislative record that has drawn plaudits from unions, but organized labor leaders remain skeptical about Trump's agenda for workers. Trump, in general, has not supported policies that make it easier for workers to organize. Chavez-DeRemer is a one-term congresswoman, having lost reelection in her competitive Oregon district earlier this month. She joins Secretary of State-designate Marco Rubio, the Florida senator, as the second Latino pick for Trump’s second Cabinet. Trump taps a Fox News personality, a surgeon and a former Congressman to lead public health agencies WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has nominated a critic of COVID-19 health measures to lead the Food and Drug Administration. Dr. Marty Makary came to national attention for opposing mask mandates and other steps during the pandemic. He is a surgeon, author and professor at Johns Hopkins University. Makary is the latest of a string of Trump nominees who are deeply critical of government health regulators and experts. If confirmed, Makary would be expected to report to anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s pick to oversee the nation’s health agencies. Bitcoin ticks closer to $100,000 in extended surge following US elections NEW YORK (AP) — Bitcoin is jumping again, setting another new high above $99,000. The cryptocurrency has been shattering records almost daily since the U.S. presidential election, and has rocketed more than 40% higher in just two weeks. It's now at the doorstep of $100,000. Cryptocurrencies and related investments like crypto exchange-traded funds have rallied because the incoming Trump administration is expected to be more “crypto-friendly.” Still, as with everything in the volatile cryptoverse, the future is hard to predict. And while some are bullish, other experts continue to warn of investment risks. Supreme Court steps into fight over FCC's $8 billion subsidies for internet and phone services WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has stepped into a major legal fight over the $8 billion a year the federal government spends to subsidize phone and internet services in schools, libraries and rural areas, in a new test of federal regulatory power. The justices on Friday agreed to review an appellate ruling that struck down as unconstitutional the Universal Service Fund. The Federal Communications Commission collects money from telecommunications providers, who then pass the cost on to their customers. The Biden administration appealed the lower court ruling, but the case probably won’t be argued until late March. At that point, the Trump administration will be in place and it is not clear whether it will take a different view of the issue.
