FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Cam Miller threw three touchdown passes, ran for another and second-seeded North Dakota State blew past a 14-point deficit to beat 15th-seeded Abilene Christian 51-31 on Saturday in the second round of the FCS playoffs. The Bison (11-2), in the FCS playoffs for a 15th straight season and winner of nine FCS titles, will host seventh-seeded Mercer in the quarterfinals. Abilene Christian (9-5) took a 17-3 lead on a 13-yard TD pass from Maverick McIvor to J.J. Henry, a 90-yard run by Sam Hicks and a Ritse Vaes 29-yard field goal early in the second quarter. The Bison then took over, starting with Jackson Williams' 100-yard kickoff return to start a run of 31 consecutive points, 17 coming in the second quarter for a 20-17 halftime lead. The scoring streak ended when Nehemiah Martinez’s 53-yard return helped set up Hicks’ 3-yard score to get the Wildcats within 34-24. But the Bison matched that TD on their ensuing drive on Miller’s 36-yard connection with Bryce Lance to cap their 21-point third quarter. Again, the Wildcats got within 10 early in the fourth quarter on Rovaughn Banks Jr.’s 2-yard TD run. But NDSU’s Marcus Gulley returned an interception 37 yards to the ACU 9 and the Crosa kicked a field goal and Logan Kopp followed with a 31-yard pick-6. Miller was 20 of 29 for 274 yards passing. McIvor threw for 153 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Hicks ran for 153 yards on 16 carries. ACU, champion of the United Athletic Conference, was in its first FCS playoffs since joining the classification in 2013, and beat Northern Arizona in its first-round game. Crosa has made his 262nd career PAT to pass NDSU's Cam Pederson (2015-18) and set an FCS record.

You Can Already See Signs Of Trump's Crony Capitalism In ActionVoice biometrics liveness detection software from has passed a test evaluating compliance to the international standard for presentation attack detection (PAD) testing for level 1 spoofs by . The test of Veridas ECHO’s compliance to the ISO/IEC 30107-3 standard required it to successfully block 100 percent of spoof attacks presented. Veridas says ECHO is the first voice solution on the market to pass the test, in which voices were played through a loudspeaker. The company says ECHO can detect real recorded voices, as tested by iBeta, and also synthetic voices, which are out of scope of the level 1 PAD evaluation. The test was carried out with Veridas Shield v0.1.0 running on an iPhone 12, according to the compliance from iBeta. ECHO combines anti-spoofing software, which launched in August, with real-time voice analysis and privacy-by-design principles, according to the announcement, for seamless, secure and reliable identity verification. Veridas emphasizes in the release that its adherence to the strictest privacy standards gives organizations the confidence to embrace voice biometrics to reduce fraud and detect deepfakes. ECHO itself was in October. At that time, the company called out an emerging opportunity stemming from what it described as major players in the voice market that are not primarily focused on identity exiting the space. “Veridas ECHO is not just a voice solution—it’s a leap forward in security and innovation,” said Javier San Agustín, CTO of Veridas. “Successfully completing the iBeta evaluation highlights Veridas’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of biometric technology to deliver solutions prioritizing trust, safety, and user experience. This accomplishment represents a huge milestone not only for Veridas but for the voice biometrics industry as a whole.” NIST held an assessment of in 2021, with Veridas scoring high marks, and the company published a late last year.

Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc. stock underperforms Friday when compared to competitorsCalhoun County E911 Becomes First to Launch Ryzyliant's Solution with INdigital NGCS Support“The View” co-hosts got into another tense political discussion while disagreeing over the validity of President-elect Donald Trump’s new pick for attorney general during Friday’s episode. The co-hosts –– Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin –– were discussing Trump picking Pam Bondi after Matt Gaetz withdrew amid his controversial sexual misconduct allegations. While Haines, Navarro and Griffin were thankful for the change, Hostin argued that Bondi was just as “dangerous” as Gaetz. “I believe she’s a dangerous pick as well, because she supported Trump’s false election claims,” Hostin said, referring to Trump’s refusal to accept his 2020 presidential defeat . “She was involved in the effort to overturn the results, and so that is now the person that is going to be our chief law enforcer?” Behar, 82, and Navarro, 52, quickly interrupted, and Navarro defended Bondi’s record and joked, “What’s a little election denialism between friends? Everything in life is relative!” Hostin, 56, appeared stunned and quipped, “Election denialism is a very big deal, Ana.” “We got to take the wins where we can find them, folks,” Griffin, 35, chimed in, while also adding that Bondi is “also qualified” for the role. Navarro piped up again and asked if she was allowed to “continue saying” her opinion on Bondi being a better choice than Gaetz. “One at a time!” Behar said and clapped, while the rest of the four women continued to talk at the same time. Hostin got the floor next and reminded her co-hosts that they cannot “minimize some of the things” Bondi has done, when she is “supposed to be the people’s attorney.” Haines, 47, began talking before Hostin finished her thoughts and said, “Agree, but I would still take her over Matt Gaetz!” “You can take her over Matt Gaetz, but can’t minimize denying an election,” Hostin argued, to which Haines denied “minimizing” those claims. Griffin then the chance to speak and pointed out that Gaetz had “dreadful character flaws” while also being “deeply unqualified” –– unlike Bondi. “She’s been the Florida attorney general, she’s been a prosecutor, she is going to get confirmed by the senate [and] republicans really like her,” Griffin said. However, Hostin was still adamant to make her point and reiterated that Bondi is an “election denier.” “I know, but no one’s going to be perfect under Donald Trump,” Griffin replied. Behar –– who acted as the moderator with Whoopi Goldberg out –– once again urged the ladies to stop interrupting each other and shouted, “One at a time!” Navarro and Hostin continued to go back and forth for a few more seconds before Behar interjected one final time. The tense argument came just two days after Hostin and Griffin got into a heated debate over school voucher tax credits. Hostin and Griffin spoke over each other several times and made it hard to understand their points, so Goldberg, 69, jumped in and scholed them. “There’s no last thing being said here right now,” Goldberg said before cutting to commercial. “No one can hear what anyone’s saying.”
SFA’s volleyball season came to an end Friday night when it lost at home to Arkansas State in the second round of the NIVC in five sets with scores of 25-19, 17-25, 16-25, 25-16, 15-12 “I’m very pleased with the growth that occurred this season,” Ladyjacks head volleyball coach Debbie Humphreys said. “From where we started to where we are now, there’s no comparison. They’ve overcome a lot of adversity and just kept fighting and fighting and fighting and doing good things. We were just shorthanded tonight.” The Ladyjacks’ season ends with a final record of 25-9 while Arkansas State advances to 28-5. The first point of the match went to SFA and the Ladyjacks continued to add to their lead. Harley Krause slammed it down for a kill to make the score 7-1 and forced Arkansas State to call the game’s first timeout. The Red Wolves claimed their second point before Kyanna Creecy added a kill. SFA extended its run to 7-0 and its lead to 11-2. A kill from Jordan Henderson was followed by a point by Arkansas State. That led to the Red Wolves cutting their deficit to 14-10, forcing SFA to call timeout. SFA scored the first two points coming out of the timeout, one of which came on a kill from Jones. Moments later, a block at the net by Arkansas State’s Daedrianna Cail made it a four-point game yet again. Katherine Holtman and Jones each added a point to give SFA a 20-14 lead as the Red Wolves called timeout. Haley Glunz scored Arkansas State’s second straight point after the timeout. Henderson responded by sending the ball over to the Red Wolves’ side of the net for a point but Arkansas State brought SFA’s lead down to three.

Creecy slammed it down for a kill to give SFA a 1-0 lead in the second set. Arkansas State tied it up before the Ladyjacks jumped back on top with a 4-1 lead. The Red Wolves, however, found themselves tied with the Ladyjacks at 4. A block from Caroline Kahle broke the tie. That was followed by a pair of aces from Cambry Saul. Moments later, the same thing happened on the other end when Sarah Martinez recorded an ace, making the score 10-8. Devyn Lewis recorded a kill to put Arkansas State within one point. The Ladyjacks were unable to send the ball back over on an attempt that led to an 11-11 tie and an SFA timeout. A block at the net from Abby Harris gave the Red Wolves a 12-11 lead before SFA tied it back up. Krause threw it down to give the lead back to the Ladyjacks. The two teams went back and forth, exchanging points as neither team was able to gain a lead larger than two points until Arkansas State jumped out on top 19-16. That lead turned into 21-16 as SFA called a timeout. A hit went out of bounds in favor of SFA but the Red Wolves put it on cruise control and sealed up the 25-17 win in set two. The two teams were sending the back and forth in set three, keeping it off the ground before Holtman slammed down a kill to tie it up at 4-4. The Red Wolves jumped back into the driver’s seat and increased the distance between them and the Ladyjacks. SFA chipped away at Arkansas State’s lead but was unable to cut it down to under four. A kill from Henderson made the score 20-15. The score was 24-16 before Cail scored the final point of the set to help her team win 25-16 in the third set and jump out to a 2-1 lead in the match. Arkansas State started off set four with a seven that sailed out of bounds to give SFA the first point of the night. The Red Wolves tied it at 1-1 before Creecy’s kill put the Ladyjacks back on top. SFA extended its lead to 5-2 but Arkansas State soon tied it up at 5-5. A block by Creecy and an ace from Natalie Guerrero spread SFA’s lead to 13-9 and forced Arkansas State to call a timeout. The Ladyjacks’ momentum continued after the timeout. Another ace from Guerrero gave the Ladyjacks a 17-9 lead. Krause served another ace to make the score 19-12. The Red Wolves called a timeout after falling behind 21-13. Moments later, Jones’ point put SFA just one point away from forcing a fifth set. Arkansas State scored the next point but a battle at the net was won by the Ladyjacks who won set four to force set five. The Ladyjacks claimed the first point of set five and took an early 2-1 lead. A block from Cail tied it up and led the Red Wolves taking a 3-2 lead. Holtman tied it back up at 3-3 and Cail slammed it down for another kill. Arkansas State jumped to a 6-3 lead and forced SFA to call a timeout. Arkansas State extended its lead to 9-4 but SFA scored the next two points to cut its deficit to 9-6. Creecy’s block at the net cut SFA’s deficit to 11-10. Seconds later, Arkansas State hit the ball out of bounds and the game was knotted up at 11. The next two points went to Arkansas State as SFA called timeout trailing 13-11. The next point put Arkansas one point away from winning the match but a serve into the net made the score 14-12. The ball bounced on SFA’s side of the net, ending the Ladyjacks’ season with a 15-12 loss in the fifth set. Jones led SFA in kills with 14. Krause and Kahle were next with nine apiece and each had six digs. Creecy had eight kills and Henderson had seven. Holtman had five kills. Kahle also had 12 digs.

Cail led Arkansas State with 14 digs while Whitlock had 11 to go along with 19 digs. Martinez led her team in digs with 20. Erin Madigan recorded 33 assists. “Arkansas State is a very, very good team,” Humphreys said. “I’m looking at the stat sheet for the first time and it’s a wash with what the two of us accomplished. We blocked the same number of balls. We hit about the same. Our service errors got a little out of control and that’s really the difference in the match.” Friday’s loss was in the second round as the Ladyjacks defeated Jackson State in the opening round in a three-game sweep with scores of 25-18, 25-12, 25-14.Ottawa police arrest suspect in Mooney's Bay area shooting
