online gambling real money no deposit Undercover FBI agents had no role in US Capitol attack: reportOregon started signing day behind Ohio State and Michigan in the Big Ten recruiting rankings and was poised to finish Wednesday on top. The Ducks flipped five-star cornerback Na’eem Offord from the Buckeyes and four-star quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele from California — additions that pushed them to No. 4 nationally and No. 1 in the Big Ten in the 247Sports Composite rankings. A Big Ten-high four five-stars signed with the Ducks. Ohio State’s class, ranked fifth in the country, is highlighted by a pair of national top-five prospects in quarterback Tavien St. Clair and cornerback Devin Sanchez. Michigan’s class was rated third best in the Big Ten and seventh best in the nation. Quarterback Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 national recruit, was scheduled to sign his letter of intent with the Wolverines on Wednesday evening. Two other Big Ten teams were ranked in the top 20, No. 13 Southern California and No. 17 Penn State. • Leader of the pack – Oregon closed with a flourish with Offord and Sagapolutele flipping on signing day and four-star linebacker Gavin Nix switching from Miami on Tuesday. The Ducks signed some of the nation’s top prospects at wide receiver and cornerback. Dakorien Moore is the No. 1 receiver and Dallas Wilson is No. 4. Offord is the No. 2 corner, Brandon Finney is No. 5 and Dorian Brew is No. 8. They also signed a second quarterback, the four-star Akili Smith Jr., whose father was the Ducks’ quarterback in 1997-98 and an NFL first-round draft pick. • Best of the rest – Five-star quarterback Husan Longstreet was USC’s top signee and the Trojans beat out Ohio State and Oregon for five-star defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart. Penn State landed the No. 4 offensive lineman in the country in Malachi Goodman. Among eight four-star defensive players to sign was linebacker LaVar Arrington Jr., whose father was a 1998 All-American for the Nittany Lions and No. 2 overall draft pick in 2000. Nebraska signed four-star linebackers in Dawson Merritt and Christian Jones and got a pleasant signing-day surprise when four-star wide receiver Cortez Mills flipped from Oklahoma. • Under the radar – Iose Epenesa, the No. 14 national prospect and No. 3 defensive lineman, continues his family’s tradition at Iowa. The edge rusher from Edwardsville, Illinois, is the brother of former Iowa star AJ Epenesa. Another brother, Eric, is a walk-on linebacker for the Hawkeyes. Their father, Eppy, played at Iowa in the 1990s. ... Indiana’s breakthrough season produced a minimal bump in the recruiting rankings. The Hoosiers, who signed 21 players, went from No. 16 last year to No. 13 in the Big Ten. . ... Maryland signed four four stars, including the nation’s No. 5 quarterback prospect in 6-foot-4, 215-pound Malik Washington. ... Michigan State didn’t sign a four-star recruit for the first time since at least 2009. ... Purdue, three days after the firing of Ryan Walters and coming off one of the worst seasons in program history, signed just six players. • Star of the class – Michigan’s NIL collective reportedly offered Underwood an eight-figure financial package and Tom Brady provided a strong nudge to get him to flip from LSU two weeks ago. Underwood is from Belleville, Mich., less than a half-hour drive from Ann Arbor, and he has said playing close to home also was a factor. Underwood is the first No. 1 national prospect to land at Michigan since defensive end Rashan Gary in 2016. • Biggest surprise – An Ohio State stocking cap sat alongside Auburn and Oregon ballcaps on a table at Offord’s signing ceremony at Parker High in Birmingham, Ala. He picked up the Auburn cap and put it on for a split-second, then flipped it into the crowd and put on the Oregon cap. With three of the top eight cornerback prospects and four-star safety Trey McNutt expected to sign, the Ducks would have the highest-rated group of defensive backs.Trump invited China's Xi to his inauguration even as he threatened massive tariffs on Beijing

Broncos rule out Riley Moss for Monday night

Controversial Welland Ward 4 Coun. Tony DiMarco was removed from the final city council meeting of the year last week. His removal came during an in camera session for which two items were on the agenda — an update on a harassment matter and an offer to purchase property. No one with the city would discuss what the harassment matter pertained to. DiMarco, who has been at odds with the mayor for several months, earlier this year said he was “not permitted to attend city hall.” The Tribune learned of his removal from the latest meeting during the open session of council, when Coun. Bryan Green asked if his fellow ward councillor had been removed from it or whether he was allowed to attend. Welland Ward 4 Coun. Bryan Green. Mayor Frank Campion said DiMarco had been advised he was removed from the council meeting during the in camera session, which started at 5:30 p.m. DiMarco’s removal from the closed-doors meeting came at 7:40 p.m. His departure resulted in a notice of motion he was to introduce being left to another open session meeting. DiMarco wants city staff to hire a professional pest control company to deal with an infestation of rats on city-owned property east of townhouses on Woodlawn Road at Trelawn Parkway. To date, DiMarco has been the subject of nine integrity commissioner reports since 2017, including two this year, and docked 240 days’ pay . Five times over 10 months in 2023, the veteran politician was asked to leave council chambers, including from an in camera meeting. During a council meeting in February , DiMarco, appearing remotely, said in open session he had received a Dec. 20, 2023, letter that stated, “It was being confirmed that council has approved a recommendation that you are not permitted to attend city hall.” At the time, Campion stopped him and said he was discussing a confidential in camera item. In April, the councillor was warned by the mayor that he would be removed from a council meeting where he tried to bring up a staff report on the proposed Niagara Street development at Aqueduct Street that had already been dealt with at a previous meeting. In August, city councillors refused to sanction DiMarco for publicly revealing confidential information in that February meeting and for a second breach of the city’s code of conduct later in the month on the same subject. Green asked for an in camera meeting in September to discuss an identifiable individual, which is allowed under the Municipal Act. Green did not name the individual, but it was believed to be DiMarco. It was a followup to a December 2023 meeting during which it’s believed council discussed DiMarco, the result of which led to his not being allowed in city hall. In October, he tried to enter city hall after racing downtown from north Welland due to frustration over technological problems with new remote meeting software.Gavin McKenna will suit up for Canada at the world junior hockey championship. Set to turn 17 next week, the star forward with the Western Hockey League's Medicine Hat Tigers headlines the country's 25-player roster for the annual tournament announced Friday. McKenna, who is projected as the potential top pick at the 2026 NHL draft, will be joined by a pair of fellow youngsters battling for the No. 1 selection spot in June — 18-year-old winger Porter Martone and 17-year-old defenceman Matthew Schaefer. Five of seven eligible returnees from last year's squad that finished a disappointing fifth in Sweden are back, with forwards Easton Cowan, Brayden Yager and Carson Rehkopf getting the nod, while defencemen Oliver Bonk and Tanner Molendyk will anchor the blue line. The two players unable to hold onto their spots for the event set to run Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Ottawa are forward Matthew Wood and goaltender Scott Ratzlaff. Making up the rest of the group up front are Bradly Nadeau, Jett Luchanko, Luca Pinelli, Berkly Catton, Ethan Gauthier, Calum Ritchie, Tanner Howe, Cole Beaudoin and Mathieu Cataford. Nadeau didn't attend selection camp in Ottawa this week, but was guaranteed a spot after being made available by the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes from their American Hockey League affiliate. Canada's defence corps also includes Andrew Gibson, Sam Dickinson, Caden Price, Sawyer Mynio and Beau Akey. The hockey powerhouse's three-headed crease contingent is made up of goaltenders Jack Ivankovic — another 17-year-old eligible for June's NHL draft — Carter George and Carson Bjarnason. "We believe we have assembled a competitive and talented roster that will give us the best opportunity to win a gold medal on home ice," Hockey Canada's Peter Anholt, who leads the under-20 program's management group, said in a statement. "We look forward to them wearing the Maple Leaf with pride." The Canadians, who will be looking to add to a record 20 gold medals at the annual showcase, were ousted in last year's quarterfinals thanks to a last-minute loss to Czechia. Among the other notable cuts Friday were Calgary Flames defence prospect Zayne Parekh and Beckett Sennecke, who was selected No. 3 overall by the Anaheim Ducks at the 2024 draft. Both players were late injury additions for selection camp and are eligible to try out again next year. Canada will now hold training camp in Petawawa, Ont., before pre-tournament games against Switzerland, Sweden and Czechia. The hosts open Group A at the Canadian Tire Centre, home of the NHL's Ottawa Senators, on Boxing Day against Finland. The defending champions United States, Latvia and Germany make up the rest of the field. Group B at TD Place, home of the Ontario Hockey League's Ottawa 67's, includes Sweden, Czechia, Slovakia, Switzerland and Kazakhstan. Russia remains banned by the International Ice Hockey Federation due to that country's ongoing war in Ukraine. Ottawa last hosted the world juniors in 2009 when Canada defeated Sweden to secure a record-tying fifth straight gold. Cameron, who guided the country atop the podium in 2022 after winning silver in 2011, was an assistant coach on the staff of the late Pat Quinn at that tournament 15 years ago in the nation's capital. "This group of 25 players is excited for the opportunity to wear the Maple Leaf in front of Canadian fans in Ottawa, and to represent their country in our quest to win a gold medal," he said in a statement. "This is a great accomplishment for these players and their families. "We know they will enjoy the world juniors experience while bringing the competitiveness needed for us to be successful and accomplish our goal."

Trump tariffs now threaten to unravel its success Even before Trump enters the White House, investors are already living in his world. That portends the influence Trump, as president, will have on the economy and markets. Upon Trump's election win, the so-called "Trump trade" has flourished , with risk assets in general on an upward trajectory. The market rally stalled for a while as investors digested the possible increase in inflation and drop in economic growth due to Trump's policies, but was jolted back to life after Trump picked Scott Bessent as his Treasury secretary. Most recently, Trump announced he would raise tariffs by an additional 10% on Chinese goods entering the U.S., and new tariffs of 25% on those from Mexico and Canada. Those three countries alone account for 43% of U.S. goods imports, wrote Goldman Sachs's chief economist Jan Hatzius. "The truth is that the drag from tariffs on growth is likely to outweigh tax cuts on the forecast horizon," said Gregory Daco, chief economist at EY-Parthenon. Automakers felt that sting most keenly because virtually all with a presence in the U.S. manufacture vehicles and parts in Mexico — 26% of auto imports into the U.S. are from Mexico, reported UBS. Shares of automakers GM , Stellantis and Ford Motor fell on reports of Trump's planned tariffs. That said, while individual stocks staggered, the broader market advanced. The S&P 500 rose 0.57% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.28%, with both indexes hitting fresh closing highs. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.63%. "Markets have become a lot more comfortable with the prospects of these tariffs being more bluster and more negotiating tactics than actual implementation," Jamie Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial, said.

"We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds, or at the Capitol, on January 6," Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz said in an 88-page report. Thousands of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6 in a bid to prevent congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden's election victory. Right-wing media and even some Republican lawmakers have spuriously claimed that undercover FBI agents provoked the attack on Congress, which followed a fiery speech by Trump in which he falsely claimed the election had been stolen. The inspector general said that while no undercover FBI agents were present at the Trump rally or the Capitol, 26 FBI informants known as confidential human sources (CHS) were in Washington at the time. Three of the informants had been tasked with reporting on domestic terrorist suspects while the others were there on their own. "None of these FBI CHSs were authorized to enter the Capitol or a restricted area, or to otherwise break the law on January 6, nor was any CHS directed by the FBI to encourage others to commit illegal acts on January 6," the report said. The inspector general also said there had been an intelligence-gathering failure by the FBI ahead of the January 6 attack. "While the FBI undertook significant efforts to identify domestic terrorism subjects who planned to travel to the Capital region on January 6," the report said, "the FBI did not take a step that could have helped the FBI and its law enforcement partners with their preparations. "Specifically, the FBI did not canvass its field offices in advance of January 6, 2021, to identify any intelligence, including CHS reporting, about potential threats to the January 6 Electoral Certification," it said. FBI deputy director Paul Abbate was quoted as saying this was a "basic step that was missed" in "understanding the threat picture prior to January 6." Trump was impeached by the Democratic-majority House of Representatives following the attack on the Capitol, but acquitted by the Senate. He is to return to the White House on January 20 after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the November presidential election. More than 1,500 people have been charged in connection with the assault on Congress. Trump has lauded them as "patriots" and "political prisoners" and pledged to pardon many of them when he returns to the White House. cl/st

The event, titled "Why Police Could Not Become People-Friendly in 53 Years? Police Reform: Why and in Which Direction?" was organised by Humanity Foundation at the CIRDAP auditorium. Former IGP Nurul Huda argued that a people-friendly police force requires a shift in the vision of those who control it. "Without a change in mindset at the top, reform is impossible," he said. Speakers also said that colonial-era police laws must be urgently updated. Supreme Court Registrar Iktedar Ahmed criticised the low conviction rate in Bangladesh, which remains below 5%. He attributed this to weaknesses in investigations, which are hampered by political interference. He said that Public Prosecutors and judges are often appointed based on political recommendations, undermining impartiality in the justice system. Zakia Shishir, the grandmother of Mir Mughdho, a martyr of the July-August mass uprising, questioned the reasons behind the police's perceived poor behaviour. "Has there been any internal research to address these issues?" she asked. Dr Mazharul Islam, a history professor at Jahangirnagar University, called for a change in Bangladesh's political culture to end the concentration of power. "This has led to the promotion of incompetent people in key positions to maintain control," he said. Former DIG Mejbahunnabi expressed concerns over the Rapid Action Battalion's training, saying many officers receive less than the six months of training required by UN standards. He also pointed to an increase in extrajudicial killings since RAB's formation. DIG Golam Rasul called for a system to ensure state accountability, referring to a recent incident during the mass uprising where those responsible for ordering the shooting of protesters did not keep any written record of their decision. The speakers said comprehensive reforms are necessary across the entire justice system to restore public trust.Postman Workspaces Leak 30000 API Keys and Sensitive Tokens
