PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Luke Altmyer found Pat Bryant for a catch-and-run, 40-yard touchdown pass with 4 seconds left, sending No. 24 Illinois to a wild 38-31 victory over Rutgers on Saturday. Illinois (8-3, 5-3 Big Ten) was down 31-30 when it sent long kicker Ethan Moczulski out for a desperation 58-yard field goal with 14 seconds to go. Rutgers coach Greg Schiano then called for a timeout right before Moczulski’s attempt was wide left and about 15 yards short. After the missed field goal was waved off by the timeout, Illinois coach Bret Bielema sent his offense back on the field. Altmyer hit Bryant on an in cut on the left side at the 22, and he continued across the field and scored untouched in a game that featured three lead changes in the final 3:07. Rutgers (6-5, 3-5) gave up a safety on the final kickoff return, throwing a ball out of bounds in the end zone as players passed it around hoping for a miracle touchdown. AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/college-football and https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-pollBy SARAH PARVINI, GARANCE BURKE and JESSE BEDAYN, Associated Press President-elect Donald Trump will return to power next year with a raft of technological tools at his disposal that would help deliver his campaign promise of cracking down on immigration — among them, surveillance and artificial intelligence technology that the Biden administration already uses to help make crucial decisions in tracking, detaining and ultimately deporting immigrants lacking permanent legal status. While immigration officials have used the tech for years, an October letter from the Department of Homeland Security obtained exclusively by The Associated Press details how those tools — some of them powered by AI — help make life-altering decisions for immigrants, including whether they should be detained or surveilled. One algorithm, for example, ranks immigrants with a “Hurricane Score,” ranging from 1-5, to assess whether someone will “abscond” from the agency’s supervision. The letter, sent by DHS Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer Eric Hysen to the immigrant rights group Just Futures Law, revealed that the score calculates the potential risk that an immigrant — with a pending case — will fail to check in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. The algorithm relies on several factors, he said, including an immigrant’s number of violations and length of time in the program, and whether the person has a travel document. Hysen wrote that ICE officers consider the score, among other information, when making decisions about an immigrant’s case. “The Hurricane Score does not make decisions on detention, deportation, or surveillance; instead, it is used to inform human decision-making,” Hysen wrote. Also included in the government’s tool kit is a mobile app called SmartLINK that uses facial matching and can track an immigrant’s specific location. Nearly 200,000 people without legal status who are in removal proceedings are enrolled in the Alternatives to Detention program, under which certain immigrants can live in the U.S. while their immigration cases are pending. In exchange, SmartLINK and GPS trackers used by ICE rigorously surveil them and their movements. The phone application draws on facial matching technology and geolocation data, which has been used before to find and arrest those using the app. Just Futures Law wrote to Hysen earlier this year, questioning the fairness of using an algorithm to assess whether someone is a flight risk and raising concerns over how much data SmartLINK collects. Such AI systems, which score or screen people, are used widely but remain largely unregulated even though some have been found to discriminate on race, gender or other protected traits. DHS said in an email that it is committed to ensuring that its use of AI is transparent and safeguards privacy and civil rights while avoiding biases. The agency said it is working to implement the Biden administration’s requirements on using AI , but Hysen said in his letter that security officials may waive those requirements for certain uses. Trump has publicly vowed to repeal Biden’s AI policy when he returns to the White House in January. “DHS uses AI to assist our personnel in their work, but DHS does not use the outputs of AI systems as the sole basis for any law enforcement action or denial of benefits,” a spokesperson for DHS told the AP. Trump has not revealed how he plans to carry out his promised deportation of an estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally. Although he has proposed invoking wartime powers, as well as military involvement, the plan would face major logistical challenges — such as where to keep those who have been detained and how to find people spread across the country — that AI-powered surveillance tools could potentially address. Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump, did not answer questions about how they plan to use DHS’ tech, but said in a statement that “President Trump will marshal every federal and state power necessary to institute the largest deportation operation” in American history. Over 100 civil society groups sent a letter on Friday urging the Office of Management and Budget to require DHS to comply with the Biden administration’s guidelines. OMB did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Just Futures Law’s executive director, Paromita Shah, said if immigrants are scored as flight risks, they are more likely to remain in detention, “limiting their ability to prepare a defense in their case in immigration court, which is already difficult enough as it is.” SmartLINK, part of the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, is run by BI Inc., a subsidiary of the private prison company The GEO Group. The GEO Group also contracts with ICE to run detention centers. ICE is tight-lipped about how it uses SmartLINK’s location feature to find and arrest immigrants. Still, public records show that during Trump’s first term in 2018, Manassas, Virginia-based employees of BI Inc. relayed immigrants’ GPS locations to federal authorities, who then arrested over 40 people. In a report last year to address privacy issues and concerns, DHS said that the mobile app includes security features that “prohibit access to information on the participant’s mobile device, with the exception of location data points when the app is open.” But the report notes that there remains a risk that data collected from people “may be misused for unauthorized persistent monitoring.” Such information could also be stored in other ICE and DHS databases and used for other DHS mission purposes, the report said. On investor calls earlier this month, private prison companies were clear-eyed about the opportunities ahead. The GEO Group’s executive chairman George Christopher Zoley said that he expects the incoming Trump administration to “take a much more aggressive approach regarding border security as well as interior enforcement and to request additional funding from Congress to achieve these goals.” “In GEO’s ISAP program, we can scale up from the present 182,500 participants to several hundreds of thousands, or even millions of participants,” Zoley said. That same day, the head of another private prison company told investors he would be watching closely to see how the new administration may change immigrant monitoring programs. “It’s an opportunity for multiple vendors to engage ICE about the program going forward and think about creative and innovative solutions to not only get better outcomes, but also scale up the program as necessary,” Damon Hininger, CEO of the private prison company CoreCivic Inc. said on an earnings call. GEO did not respond to requests for comment. In a statement, CoreCivic said that it has played “a valued but limited role in America’s immigration system” for both Democrats and Republicans for over 40 years.

A woman is going viral for an uncomfortable experience she had with her go-to comfort food. On Nov. 19, Abby Kreger, who is the director of a pet rescue in Frankenmuth, Michigan, about a mystery surrounding Kraft Gluten Free Original Mac & Cheese: missing cheese sauce packets. Kreger, who has celiac disease, purchased multiple boxes prior to recording her video and was shocked to find that none of them had cheese packets in them. “Hey, listen, this message is for Kraft Mac & Cheese,” Kreger says in her now-viral video. “I’m gluten-free, and I have gotten now four boxes of gluten-free mac and cheese that do not have a sauce packet inside.” Kreger says that first she bought two boxes and discovered the production mistake, and after contacting Kraft’s customer service, she received a voucher for two free replacement boxes at the store of her choice. She says she bought the next two boxes individually at separate locations in different cities — but still had the same issue. “So giving me a coupon to get another box of mac and cheese isn’t solving the problem because Kraft Mac & Cheese is not addressing the problem,” she says. “You guys are having a problem in production. I’m not being a Karen.” Kreger concludes her video by pleading that Kraft find out what’s happening. “I’ve had celiac disease for almost five years,” she says, adding that she likely eats this product five times a week. “It’s to the point where I feel like I can’t even buy boxes of Kraft Gluten Free Mac & Cheese because it’s not gonna have the sauce packet and it’s just a waste of my money.” Kreger’s message to Kraft garnered over 3.2 million views and 12,000 comments. “Omg I would literally cry. Especially with how expensive it is,” one TikTok user. “Signed a celiac girly.” “WAIT SAME IM ALSO GF AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME,” another person, and one more , “This happened to me too!” Another user, who had the exact opposite experience, , “Too funny! My gf box had TWO cheese packets in it the other day (bought from Amazon). Sorry, I must have gotten your cheese!” Things escalated, though, when Kraft’s TikTok account responded to Kreger. “Hello. We apologize for this issue. We’re not having any quality issues with our gluten-free Kraft Mac and Cheese,” the company on her video. “Hello! Then why have I opened 4 boxes with no cheese packets?” she in response. People empathized with her exasperation in her comments section as well as in other TikTok videos — like one made by popular creator , who said the company “blew it.” “The way I would never buy Kraft again if I was the one experiencing this and they responded this way?!?” one TikTok user. “Not Kraft gaslighting you 😂,” someone else. On Nov. 21, Kreger to Kraft’s comment, expressing her frustration and sharing all of her correspondence with the company. “This makes it not feel like a comfort food anymore,” she says. “This does not feel safe. This feels more isolating. This is not helping my relationship with food.” Since then, people have been flooding Kraft’s socials with comments in support of Kreger. “So we all came from the girl who didn’t get her cheese packets? 😅,” one user on a about Kraft’s new Everything Bagel Mac & Cheese. “PUT THE SAUCE IN THE BAG BRO,” someone else on . Just when it seemed all hope was lost, Kreger on Nov. 21 sharing that a Kraft employee named Larry called her to say that, in addition to hearing her concerns, the company was going to send her a care package. “I also told Larry that I think he needs to talk to his social media team because the comment on my video was gaslighting me, did isolate me, did make me feel worse, and it was not proper customer service,” she says. A representative for Kraft Heinz tells TODAY.com that the company’s quality assurance team is investigating the production issue to determine the root cause of the problem. “Our team has been in touch with Abby to apologize for her experience and to make things right,” says the rep. “We are working closely with our response teams to ensure all future inquiries are treated with the care and respect they deserve.” In the cheesy aftermath of this saga, Kreger she has been sent free goodies from other food brands. On Nov. 22, she shared that California Pizza Kitchen delivered four gluten-free pizzas to her door and Stouffer’s sent eight boxes of gluten-free sides like creamed spinach and Mexican street corn. The next day, Instacart sent Kreger roses and gluten-free groceries, and Stouffer’s sent a second delivery of cheese sauce packets. Kreger also a handwritten note from Stouffer’s saying that her situation inspired them to create a gluten-free version of its Supreme Shells and Cheese product. “After hearing Abby’s story, we were excited to offer her our gluten-free sauce from STOUFFER’s Supreme Shells and Cheese,” Megan McLaughlin, Stouffer’s brand director tells TODAY.com. “At this time, we do not have a gluten free option in the pipeline, but we are always looking at consumer needs like Abby’s to help inspire our future innovations.” “I’m so blown away by this,” Kreger says through tears in her TikTok. “I’ve made a difference in the gluten-free community.” Washington, D.C. native Joseph Lamour is a lover of food: its past, its present and the science behind it.

The game was over, the humiliation complete. I ask you, what was Ryan Day doing meandering on the Ohio Stadium field while his emotionally-charged Ohio State players fought with bitter rival Michigan after another gutting loss to the Wolverines ? You want a reason to fire Day? Here it is. It has nothing to do with losing for the fourth consecutive time to Michigan, which is what his eventual demise will be all about. This has to do with unthinkable inaction when his team’s world was falling apart. How else can I say this? GET YOUR TEAM OFF THE FIELD. "I don’t know all the details of it, but I know those guys were looking to put a flag on our field and our guys weren’t going to let that happen," Day said after the game. Here's a novel idea: how about your guys don't "let" Michigan, which can't consistently throw a forward pass to save its football life, suck the oxygen from the biggest game of the season in a critical second half? I don’t care that Michigan’s players wanted to plant that big “M” flag on the block “O” at the 50. Don’t care that you or anyone at Ohio State thinks it’s disrespectful or classless. GET OFF THE FIELD ― before something much uglier than another loss to Michigan unfolds. LEARN TO LOSE: Michigan's Kalel Mullings trolls Ohio State after brawl Sprint into the fray, and scream at your players to get in the locker room. Instead of standing on the field from afar, a dumbfounded look on your face. Because this game, in the words of Day himself, is different. “This game is a war,” Day said earlier this week. “Any time there is a war, there’s consequences and casualties. Then there’s plunder and the rewards that come with it.” How incredibly foretelling. It’s almost as if Day were writing his own coaching tombstone days before it all played out. But instead of singing the school’s alma mater and skulking into the locker room, Day allowed his team of 18-22-year-old men to engage those who won the war — and then began to plunder. This isn’t the toughness and attitude Day proclaimed this team had after it was meticulously built this offseason for this moment. In one mentally long and draining November afternoon, it became a desperation season of throwing $41 million at a problem – $20 million for the roster, $21 million for the coaching staff – and hoping it would go away. A mentally and physically tough team doesn’t get pushed around at home by a one-dimensional, double-digit underdog with no business winning the game — then stay on the field because they don’t want the mean men to plant a flag on their field. Boo-freaking-hoo . There are consequences to losing, and there are casualties. There are winners and there are losers, and they are unmistakable after something like this. Michigan, whose coach is a known NCAA cheat who deleted 52 text messages from another known NCAA cheat when both were caught in a scam to, you know, cheat , is somehow the winner in all of this. Then there’s Day, who owns a near-flawless 47-1 record vs. every team in the Big Ten not named Michigan. And is 1-4 vs. war. You don’t lose at war 75 percent of the time, and get another shot with another loaded team and another $41 million. You get canned. And if there were any doubt about where Day and this team is headed, just look at what played out after Ohio State quarterback Will Howard’s final, futile pass fluttered aimlessly in the cold Columbus afternoon and officially ended Ohio State’s undoing in the biggest game of the season. "I’ll find out exactly what happened, but it’s our field," Day said. "There are some prideful guys that weren’t just going to let that go down.” Memo to Ohio State: you’re not “protecting your house” if it’s post-ass kicking. Get off the field, already. The Game is over. The Big Ten championship is gone. The millions have been spent and blown. The College Football Playoff is still a lock, but who among us thinks this team will shake off yet another Michigan meltdown and win a national title – thereby saving Day's job – by winning four consecutive postseason games? Firing a coach who has won 47 of 48 Big Ten games against teams not named Michigan is insane. It would be like firing Georgia coach Kirby Smart because he can’t beat Alabama. But the noise in the system will begin with another Michigan debacle on the field. When what happened off the field after the loss is just as damaging. The game is over, the humiliation complete. There are consequences and casualties to war. No one understands that better than Ryan Day. Matt Hayes is the senior national college football writer for USA TODAY Sports Network.

In the November 20 Maharashtra assembly polls, the Mahayuti alliance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) retained power, pocketing a whopping 230 of the 288 assembly seats. The BJP emerged as the single largest party, winning 132 seats, followed by Shiv Sena with 57 and NCP with 41 seats. However, even after the announcement of poll results a week ago (on November 23), the formation of the government has been delayed as the tripartite alliance is yet to decide on who will be the next chief minister. Shinde, Fadnavis and Pawar met BJP president J P Nadda and Union minister Amit Shah late Thursday to discuss a power-sharing pact for the next government. A key Mahayuti meeting scheduled on Friday was put off and likely to take place on Sunday now as caretaker Chief Minister Eknath Shinde headed to his native village in Satara district, delaying government formation further. The BJP leader, who did not wish to be quoted, said the swearing-in of the new government will take place on December 5. Senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, who was the chief minister twice and deputy chief minister in the last government, is the frontrunner for the top post, the leader said. Another senior BJP leader said the chief minister’s swearing-in ceremony will take place at Azad Maidan in south Mumbai. But before that, a meeting will be held on December 2 to pick the BJP legislature party leader, he said. Caretaker CM Shinde has made it clear that he will fully support BJP leadership’s decision to name the next CM, and that he won’t be a hurdle in the process, while Ajit Pawar-led NCP has backed Fadnavis for the chief minister’s post. In the assembly elections, Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) suffered a setback. The grand old party registered one of its worst performances in the state assembly polls after it won only 16 seats. Sharad Pawar’s NCP (SP) could bag only 10 seats, whereas Uddhav Thackeray’s (UBT) won 20.
Oldest surviving Scots cello to be played again
An influencer and her husband were arrested after they tried to hire a couple to kill an internet rival. Though her husband was acquitted, the influencer received the maximum sentencing. In October 2024, social media influencer Ashley Grayson received 10 years in prison for murder-for-hire. In August 2022, the 35-year-old asked a woman, whom she had worked with before, to fly to Dallas to discuss a “business opportunity.” The next month, the woman and her husband flew in to meet with Grayson. The influencer and her husband then propositioned the couple to kill her ex-boyfriend, an internet rival, and a woman who had criticized Grayson online. At the time, she offered the couple $20,000 for each murder. On September 10, 2022, the woman Grayson had hired recorded a video call in which the influencer confirmed that she wanted her internet rival killed immediately. She even offered an extra $5,000 for the killing to be done within a week. Grayson’s tension with her internet rival, who resides in Mississippi, began in 2021 after she started an online business that was similar to Grayson’s. Grayson ineligible for parole In July 2023, a grand jury indicted Grayson and her husband for the murder-for-hire plot. Though her husband was acquitted, Grayson was found guilty. In October 2024, the influencer was sentenced to the maximum penalty and received 10 years in prison. Once free, she’ll have three years of supervised release. Since her case was federal, she will not be eligible for parole. Attorney Reagan Fondren said in a statement that although it was fortunate nobody was hurt, the case was the result of a ‘senseless rivalry.’ “This was a twenty-first century crime where online feuds and senseless rivalries bled into the real world,” Fondren said. “The defendant tried to hire someone to murder a woman over things that happened exclusively on the internet. Related: “Fortunately, no one was physically hurt in this case, but the victim and her family still felt a severe and emotional impact as the result of the defendant’s actions. The proactive response from the investigating agencies and our prosecutors prevented an even more serious crime from occurring.” Just recently, a YouTuber was also arrested after she attempted to murder a rival . Though the victim survived, the YouTuber watched him bleed and told him, “I’ll just wait for you to die.”
In the current market session, Copa Holdings Inc. CPA share price is at $95.10, after a 0.97% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by 4.90% , but in the past year, went up by 0.43% . Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. Evaluating Copa Holdings P/E in Comparison to Its Peers The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 15.28 in the Passenger Airlines industry, Copa Holdings Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 6.23 . Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes. © 2024 Benzinga.com.
