Title: "Breakthrough in Acceleration: JHU's Latest Discovery Shatters Speed Limits with 1000x Boost and Unprecedented Efficiency"OTTAWA — The RCMP will create a new aerial intelligence task force to provide round-the-clock surveillance of Canada’s border using helicopters, drones and surveillance towers. The move is part of the federal government’s $1.3-billion upgrade to border security and monitoring to appease concerns of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump about the flow of migrants and illegal drugs. Trump has threatened to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian and Mexican exports to the U.S. as soon as he is inaugurated next month unless both countries move to improve border security. Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says he has discussed parts of the plan with American officials and that he is optimistic about its reception. Canada will also propose to the United States to create a North American “joint strike force” to target organized crime groups that work across borders. The government also intends to provide new technology, tools and resources to the Canada Border Services Agency to seek out fentanyl using chemical detection, artificial intelligence and canine teams.

Indian regulator rejects Apple request to put antitrust report on holdWhat does Big Tech hope to gain from warming up to Trump?Buffalo entered its Week 12 bye with a 9-2 record. It’s the second-best mark in the AFC behind only the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs (9-1), and the Bills own the tiebreaker after their head-to-head over K.C. in Week 11. As a result, the conference’s No. 1 seed is still up for grabs. We’ve already handed out grades to the Bills’ offensive players and defensive players as part of the bye-week review. Now it’s time for a look at the coaches and key special teams contributors. Buffalo Bills Bye-Week Grades (Coaches, Specialists) Coaching Staff Head Coach Sean McDermott (A-) McDermott isn’t perfect. We’ve already spent time this season discussing his conservative tendencies as a defensive-minded coach and his consistently poor usage of second-half timeouts . Those things may never change as he navigates his eighth season leading the Bills. That said, the 50-year-old Nebraska native has proven himself as both a great motivator and one of the league’s best defensive minds. His game plan alongside defensive coordinator Bobby Babich against the Chiefs on Sunday was fantastic. 9-2, baby! #KCvsBUF | #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/izmTK1Wi33 — Buffalo Bills (@BuffaloBills) November 18, 2024 A head coach’s job goes far beyond X’s and O’s. It’s about mindset. It’s about keeping players focused on the ultimate goal amid what can be a grueling 17-game regular season. In that regard, the former Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers are among the NFL’s best. In addition, McDermott has shown progress in his fourth-down decision-making. The best example came late Sunday when he opted to keep the offense on the field instead of kicking a field goal that would have put Buffalo ahead of Kansas City by five. Quarterback Josh Allen proceeded to score a 26-yard touchdown to seal the win. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?! : @paramountplus pic.twitter.com/HjhmBiLbcr — Buffalo Bills (@BuffaloBills) November 18, 2024 “They’re just way too good to not go for it there,” McDermott told reporters . He’ll probably never become the league’s most aggressive coach. His longtime defensive background will prevent it. But he’s come a long way in that area, and it’s helped the Bills win more games. Offensive Coordinator Joe Brady (B+) Brady coined the phrase “Everybody Eats” before the campaign. It explained his mentality of how the Bills offense was going to replace Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis . Those two wide receivers combined for 241 targets last season before their offseason departures. It hasn’t been a flawless transition. The Buffalo passing game has endured some rocky games, which necessitated a trade with the Cleveland Browns for veteran wideout Amari Cooper , but for the most part, the offense as a whole has kept clicking without those two marquee names. Running back James Cook is sidelined against the Seattle Seahawks? Rookie backup Ray Davis tallies 152 total yards in his place. Cooper misses time with a wrist injury following the trade? Journeyman receiver Mack Hollins steps in with 86 yards against the Indianapolis Colts. The result is an offense that ranks third in points per game (29.1) despite having plenty of room for improvement during the stretch run of the regular season. It’ll be a tough group to stop if the playmakers around Allen can get fully healthy before the playoffs. Joe Brady found ways to use Spags against himself, like this motion into trips to create space for Shakir.

His stock dropped after jumping to the NFL for a two-year stint as the Panthers’ offensive coordinator, though. Now, the 35-year-old William & Mary product is back in the spotlight and thriving. He’ll probably attract some head coaching interviews if the Bills’ success carries into the playoffs. Defensive Coordinator Bobby Babich (B) Babich was promoted to defensive coordinator in January, but it wasn’t until late August that McDermott announced he’d hand over the play-calling duties. The head coach still plays a pivotal role in game planning, but trusting someone else to make the gameday calls was a major endorsement. The 41-year-old longtime NFL assistant joined McDermott’s staff when the head coach was hired in 2017 and slowly climbed the ladder: 2017: assistant defensive backs coach 2018-21: safeties coach 2022-23: linebackers coach 2024: defensive coordinator He clearly earned McDermott’s trust along the way, and he’s done nothing to lose it through his first 11 games guiding the defense. Sean McDermott and Bobby Babich held DeAndre Hopkins and Travis Kelce to 5 catches for 37 yards. An absolute masterclass on defense. #BillsMafia — (@TheThomasDeLaus) November 18, 2024 The Bills rank 16th in yards allowed per game (329.1) and ninth in points allowed per game (19.5). Their most pressing issue is struggling to contain the run. They’re giving up 4.9 yards per rush, which ranks 29th in the league. Those numbers are modest, but they’ve also been accumulated without perhaps the team’s most important defensive player: All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano . The sideline-to-sideline eraser has been sidelined since training camp with a bicep injury. He’s back at practice and could return in the near future. Buffalo’s defense has also been forced to overcome unexpectedly poor play from the defensive tackle tandem of Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones. They were one of the league’s best interior duos last year. So, their sudden struggles help explain the unit’s issues against the run. All things considered, the fact the Bills still rank in the top 10 of points allowed is a testament to strong work from Babich with an assist from McDermott. And, like the offense, the defense could be in a far better position by the time the postseason rolls around. Special Teams Kicker Tyler Bass (B) As expected, Bass is trying to find his way through a roller-coaster season. The 2020 sixth-round pick struggled at the end of the 2023 campaign, including a failed game-tying field goal attempt late in a playoff loss to the Chiefs, but the Bills still opted against bringing in competition. That changed after Bass missed five kicks (three field goals and two extra points) in the team’s first six games. Buffalo added Lucas Havrisik to its practice squad, which represented the first sign the front office was seriously considering a change. TYLER BASS!!!!!!!!!!!! : @paramountplus pic.twitter.com/0YUMp5a5qI — Buffalo Bills (@BuffaloBills) November 3, 2024 Bass is probably off the hot seat for now, and rightfully so. Buffalo can’t afford another late-season swoon from its kicker, though. Punter Sam Martin (C) Martin is pretty much the encapsulation of a replacement-level punter. He doesn’t do anything extraordinary, but he also isn’t a problem the Bills have to worry about on a weekly basis. The former Appalachian State standout ranks 18th in punting average (47.6 yards), 19th in net punting (41.9 yards), and 24th in longest punt (65 yards) this season. He’s 12th in the average return of his punts (8.1 yards). Ultimately, if Buffalo is punting more than two or three times in a game, it’s a contest that’s likely going in the wrong direction, regardless of Martin’s performance. He’s probably safe despite the underwhelming numbers as long as he’s not making any glaring mistakes. This article first appeared on Last Word On Sports and was syndicated with permission.
Israel cracks down on Palestinian citizens who speak out against the war in Gaza UMM AL-FAHM, Israel (AP) — In the year since the war in Gaza broke out, Israel's government has been cracking down on dissent among its Palestinian citizens. Authorities have charged Palestinians with “supporting terrorism” because of posts online or for demonstrating against the war. Activists and rights watchdogs say Palestinians have also lost jobs, been suspended from schools and faced police interrogations. Palestinians make up about 20% of Israel's population. Many feel forced to self-censor out of fear of being jailed and further marginalized in society. Others still find ways to dissent, but carefully. Israel's National Security Ministry counters that, “Freedom of speech is not the freedom to incite.” Israel says rabbi who went missing in the UAE was killed TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel says the body of an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been found, citing Emirati authorities. The statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Sunday said Zvi Kogan was killed, calling it a “heinous antisemitic terror incident.” It said: “The state of Israel will act with all means to seek justice with the criminals responsible for his death." Kogan went missing on Thursday, and there were suspicions he had been kidnapped. His disappearance comes as Iran has been threatening to retaliate against Israel after the two countries traded fire in October. Hezbollah fires more than 180 rockets and other projectiles into Israel, wounding at least 7 BEIRUT (AP) — Hezbollah has fired at least 185 rockets and other projectiles into Israel, wounding seven people in the militant group's heaviest barrage in several days. The attacks in northern and central Israel happened Sunday in response to deadly Israeli strikes in central Beirut on Saturday. Meanwhile, negotiators pressed on with cease-fire efforts to halt the all-out war. Lebanon's military says an Israeli strike on a Lebanese army center in the southwest killed one soldier and wounded 18 others. Israel's military has expressed regret and said its operations are directed solely against the militants. Lebanon’s caretaker prime minister condemned the latest strike as an assault on the U.S.-led cease-fire efforts. The rising price of paying the national debt is a risk for Trump's promises on growth and inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has big plans for the economy. He also has big debt problem that'll be a hurdle to delivering on those plan. Trump has bold ambitions on tax cuts, tariffs and other programs. But high interest rates and the price of repaying the federal government’s existing debt could limit what he’s able to do. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will easily exceed spending on national security. After Trump's Project 2025 denials, he is tapping its authors and influencers for key roles WASHINGTON (AP) — During the campaign, President-elect Donald Trump had hailed what would become Project 2025 as a conservative roadmap for “exactly what our movement will do." Trump pulled an about-face when Project 2025 became a political liability. He denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans, even though some were written by his former aides and many allies. Now, after winning the 2024 election, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the effort he temporarily shunned. Trump has tapped Russell Vought for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as “border czar;” and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of policy. Forecasts warn of possible winter storms across US during Thanksgiving week WINDSOR, Calif. (AP) — Forecasters in the U.S. have warned of another round of winter weather that could complicate travel leading up to Thanksgiving. California is bracing for more snow and rain this weekend while still grappling with some flooding and small landslides from a previous storm. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for California's Sierra Nevada through Tuesday, with heavy snow expected at high elevations. Thousands remained without power in the Seattle area on Saturday after a “bomb cyclone” storm system hit the West Coast earlier in the week, killing two people. Parts of the Northeast and Appalachia also began the weekend with heavy precipitation. Pakistan partially stops mobile and internet services ahead of pro-Imran Khan protest ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan has suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns” as supporters of imprisoned former premier Imran Khan gear up for a protest in the capital. The government and Interior Ministry made the announcement on X, which is banned in Pakistan. Sunday's protest is to demand Khan's release. He has been in prison for more than a year but remains popular. His supporters rely heavily on social media and messaging apps to coordinate with each other. Pakistan has already sealed off Islamabad and shut down major roads and highways connecting the city with Khan's power bases. Here's what to know about the new funding deal that countries agreed to at UN climate talks BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) — In the wee hours Sunday at the United Nations climate talks, countries from around the world reached an agreement on how rich countries can cough up the funds to support poor countries in the face of climate change. But it’s a far-from-perfect arrangement, with many parties still unsatisfied but hopeful that the deal will be a step in the right direction. Japan holds Sado mines memorial despite South Korean boycott amid lingering historical tensions SADO, Japan (AP) — Japan has held a memorial ceremony near the Sado Island Gold Mines despite a last-minute boycott of the event by South Korea that highlighted tensions between the neighbors over the brutal wartime use of Korean laborers. South Korea’s absence at Sunday’s memorial, to which Seoul government officials and Korean victims’ families were invited, is a major setback in the rapidly improving ties between the countries. The Sado mines were listed in July as a UNESCO World Heritage Site after Japan moved past years of disputes with South Korea and reluctantly acknowledged the mines’ dark history. Chuck Woolery, smooth-talking game show host of 'Love Connection' and 'Scrabble,' dies at 83 NEW YORK (AP) — Chuck Woolery, the affable, smooth-talking game show host of “Wheel of Fortune,” “Love Connection” and “Scrabble” who later became a right-wing podcaster, skewering liberals and accusing the government of lying about COVID-19, has died. He was 83. Mark Young, Woolery’s podcast co-host and friend, said in an email early Sunday that Woolery died at his home in Texas with his wife, Kristen, present.
