Musk Was the Top US Political Donor in 2024: FilingsSizzling Scouser Stephen Bunting insists he couldn’t care less what anyone else is doing as he’s charging along like Arne Slot’s Liverpool. The Bullet soared into a last 16 tie of the Worlds against Luke Woodhouse with a 100 average. Bunting was given an incredible reception by his fan base and says he’ll use his Army to drive him on. Slot’s side have laser focus at the top of the English Premier League. Bunting wants to emulate as he said: “I couldn’t care less what the others are doing, to be honest with you. It’s all about me, isn’t it? The Bunting Bandwagon. “You look at the fan base, it’s unbelievable, my social media’s just flying up and when you listen to that crowd. I was crying on the walk-on, it was that emotional, so maybe I need to rein in it a tiny bit, maybe not get so invested in the walk-on, But it’s a special place to play here in the Ally Pally. “Listen, when you’re up on that stage, there’s no hiding, it’s a lonely place, if things don’t go right, there’s only you to blame. But when you’re up there and you’ve got 3,000, 4,000, whatever it may be in the venue all shouting your name, you know for a fact that your opponent must be hearing that and maybe it affects them. “I literally just ride on that crest of a wave and I just kept on and I’m so happy that. Listen, the Bunting Bandwagon goes on. Coming into this tournament I’m playing the best I’ve ever played in my life, so I feel like the confidence is there. With that fan base, who knows where I can go, but I’m reaching for the top.” Asked if others are paying to attention to him, Bunting continued: “I don’t care. If they are, then happy days, I’m doing something right, aren’t I? “It doesn’t matter what anyone else does, it’s all about me. Same at Liverpool Football Club. Why worry about all the others because we’re 27 points ahead!”
Kane hat trick against Augsburg hides Bayern's concerning lack of goals BERLIN (AP) — Harry Kane scored a hat trick including two penalties for Bayern Munich to beat Augsburg 3-0 in the Bundesliga on Friday. Ciarán Fahey, The Associated Press Nov 22, 2024 2:24 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message Bayern's Harry Kane, kicks a penalty to score his side's second goal during the Bundesliga soccer match between Bayern Munich and Augsburg at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, Friday, Nov. 22, 2024. (AP Photo/Matthias Schrader) BERLIN (AP) — Harry Kane scored a hat trick including two penalties for Bayern Munich to beat Augsburg 3-0 in the Bundesliga on Friday. The win stretched Bayern’s lead to eight points ahead of the rest of the 11th round, and Kane took his goals tally to a league-leading 14. The England forward is the fastest player to reach 50 goals in the Bundesliga in what was his 43rd game. However, coach Vincent Kompany should be concerned by his team’s ongoing difficulty of scoring in matches it dominates. Bayern previously defeated St. Pauli and Benfica only 1-0. Kompany’s team had to wait until stoppage time before Kane sealed the result with his second penalty. Two minutes later, Kane scored with a header after controlling Leon Goretzka's cross with his first touch for a flattering scoreline. “We had to be patient,” Kane said. “And at halftime that’s what we said, to keep doing what we’re doing. We had a few chances in the first half and we just had to be a bit more clinical and obviously, thankfully, we got the penalty to kind of open the game up.” Mads Pedersen was penalized for handball following a VAR review and Kane duly broke the deadlock in the 63rd. Bayern continued as before with 80% possession, but had to wait for Keven Schlotterbeck to be penalized through VAR for a foul on Kane. Kane sealed the result in the third minute of stoppage time and there was still time for him to grab another. It’s Bayern’s seventh consecutive win without conceding a goal since it conceded four at Barcelona (4-1) on Oct. 23 in the Champions League. “You can see now that we have a solid defense and that's the basis, also in games like today's,” Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich said. “When it's a game of patience, then it's important for us to know that sometimes one goal will have to do. Like today we added two more before the finish, but in the end you only need to score one more than the opponent.” Bayern next hosts Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday, then Borussia Dortmund away in the Bundesliga next weekend, before defending champion Bayer Leverkusen visits in the third round of the German Cup. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer Ciarán Fahey, The Associated Press See a typo/mistake?

PAUL — A buck harvested near Wheaton in western Minnesota during the opening weekend of firearms season has tested positive for chronic wasting disease, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reported on Thursday, Dec. 12. The adult male deer was harvested within Deer Permit Area 271 along the Minnesota - South Dakota border. To date, no wild deer with CWD had been previously detected in that area, nearby permit areas or near the Minnesota border in eastern South Dakota. ADVERTISEMENT “This discovery in western Minnesota, while unwelcome news, highlights the importance and necessity of our disease surveillance efforts and allowing hunters to test deer harvested anywhere in the state if they would like to,” said Erik Hildebrand, wildlife health supervisor with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Deer Permit Area 271 includes all of Traverse County and small portions of northern Big Stone and Wilkin counties. It is located north of Big Stone Lake and the Minnesota River Valley habitat corridor. The permit area is heavily farmed with limited public lands and habitat. So far this year, the total deer harvest in that permit area totals 397, with 303 of the total being adult males, according to the DNR website. Following the detection near Wheaton, the Minnesota DNR will implement measures outlined in its CWD response plan, which calls for three consecutive years of testing to help determine the potential prevalence of the disease in Deer Permit Area 271 and surrounding permit areas. The Minnesota DNR also will work with the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department to coordinate surveillance of chronic wasting disease and management activities in the vicinity. Within deer permit areas where CWD has been detected and confirmed, the Minnesota DNR uses multiple management actions designed to help mitigate disease spread, including carcass movement restrictions, a deer feeding and attractants ban, and, sometimes, increased hunting opportunities with increased bag limits. In 2024, Deer Permit Area 271 will not be included in the CWD late-season management hunt that takes place Dec. 20-22. The adult male deer in that permit area that tested positive for CWD was harvested during the breeding season when deer are known to travel longer distances. ADVERTISEMENT Before deciding whether to remove additional deer in a CWD management hunt, the DNR will conduct surveillance in the fall of 2025 to better understand disease prevalence in the permit area.

By LOLITA C. BALDOR WASHINGTON (AP) — Reported sexual assaults at the U.S. military service academies dropped in 2024 for the second year in a row, according to new Pentagon data, marking a sharp turnaround from an alarming surge two years ago that triggered sweeping reviews and an overhaul in leadership . The decline in reports was mirrored by a similar decrease in the total number of students who said in an anonymous survey that they experienced some type of unwanted sexual contact during the school year that ended in the spring. Defense officials, however, warned on Thursday that the numbers are still high, and there is still a lot of work to be done. According to the survey, which is done every other year, about 13% of female students said they experienced unwanted sexual contact in the 2024 school year, compared with more than 21% in 2022. For men, the rate decreased from 4.4% to 3.6%. The reported assaults reflect familiar trends. Most of the alleged offenders are also academy students and are often known to the victim. They often happen after duty hours or on weekends and holidays. Drinking has long been a consistent factor. Beth Foster, executive director of the Pentagon’s force resiliency office, called the new numbers encouraging. But she added, “the prevalence of sexual assault and harassment is still far too high. What this data tells us is that this is a difficult problem for all, but it is not an impossible problem to solve.” A vast majority of students — 88% — responded to the survey. Defense officials said they are still concerned that, based on the survey, an estimated 783 students experienced unwanted sexual contact but just a small percentage reported it. The U.S. military and defense leaders have pushed improvements in programs, leadership training and staffing to encourage more victims to report so they can receive help and perpetrators can be punished. Defense officials released preliminary data much earlier than usual this year, and said the full report will go out in February. They said the early release was done to provide better information to school leaders who are implementing changes. However, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will leave in January when President-elect Donald Trump takes office, and new leadership will take over the Pentagon. Trump and his pick to lead the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth , have vowed to eliminate “woke” policies fostering diversity and equity, and it’s not clear how any of that may impact sexual assault prevention efforts. Hegseth himself has been accused of sexual assault , which he denies, although he acknowledges making a settlement payment to the woman. Foster and others said Austin’s pressure on academy leaders to confront the problem led to a number of changes in how the schools foster better leaders and focus more stridently on sexual assault prevention.

National News | Woman who falsely accused Duke lacrosse players of rape in 2006 publicly admits she lied National News | Musk says US is demanding he pay penalty over disclosures of his Twitter stock purchases The total number of reported sexual assaults at the academies is divided in an often complex and confusing way. Academy and defense officials focus on the number of assaults reported by cadets and midshipmen during their school year. But students sometimes file reports after they leave the academies, describing incidents that happened when they were in school. The total is 106 for the 2024 school year, a sharp drop from 137 last year and 170 in 2022. The totals also decreased at each individual academy. Students at the U.S. Naval Academy reported 47 assaults, a slight dip from 49 the previous year. The other two saw significant decreases: Students at the Air Force Academy in Colorado reported 34, compared with 45 last year, and those at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in New York reported 25, compared with 43. In addition, eight students reported assaults last year that happened to them before they became students. The military services and the academies have struggled for years to combat sexual assault and harassment, with myriad prevention, education and treatment programs. But despite reams of research, and expanded programs, the numbers have grown. A renewed emphasis on it in the past several years has led to improvements and staff increases, although service members still complain that the videos and other programs are often outdated and don’t resonate as well with young troops.
NoneChristmas shopping began Thursday for low-income families registered with The Mission, a Norman nonprofit focused on helping those in need. More than 230 families who signed up will visit Wildwood Community Church from Dec. 12 to Dec. 14 to receive free gifts for their children. Janet Hess, organizer and member of Wildwood Community Church, said about 600 children are expected to receive gifts from the event. A parent or guardian can pick out toys and clothes for each child in the family. Wildwood has been the host of the Christmas event for The Mission for the last nine years. This year, The Mission also partnered with Bethel Baptist Church, Norman Behavioral Health, Restore Behavioral Health, The Norman Rotary Club and Massay’s Dance Studio to collect items to give away. One man, Hess said, donated dozens of shoes and coats. “We’ve started reaching out to different people in the community, different groups, and asking their organization, and they’ve started putting out boxes to collect toys, and then they bring them to us to put out,” Hess said. “So each year we get a little more help from other individuals amongst the community.” For each child, they can pick a stocking stuffer, a medium and large toy, a coat, a pair of shoes, gloves, hygiene products and more. All toys are put into age categories from 2 to 16 years old. Rebekah Key, an organizer and member of Wildwood, said 1,800 gifts needed to be collected to serve the capacity of people registered and their children. “We obviously have to collect more than that so that we have selection for the people. You don’t want to be the last person to come in and you only get one thing to pick from,” Key said. “So it’s amazing the amount of gifts that we get. Key said the volunteers for the event have been a major deal. She said there have been about 350 volunteers, all taking a role in making the event possible. “One of the other ladies is in charge of making us lunches for the people to work all day. And it’s a big, big deal” Key said. “We have a lady that’s in charge of all the coats because everybody gets a coat. We have different people under us that we have assigned to help us. It’s getting so big we need helpers.” Key said every child deserves something nice for Christmas, no matter their situation. “Children don’t have a choice to be in the situation that they’re in,” Key said. “So we want these kids to get some good things for Christmas.”
Noah Chilvers hopes his first Ross County goal might open the floodgates – for both more goals and away Premiership wins. The classy midfielder guided home the opener in the Staggies’ 3-0 victory at Dundee on Boxing Day, which was the Dingwall team’s first away league success since September 2023. Josh Nisbet doubled the scoreline in the second half before a Jordan White penalty deservedly earned Don Cowie’s men maximum points to move up to 10th spot. This Sunday, County host Hearts, whose 2-1 home derby loss to Hibernian leaves them and just two points ahead of rock-bottom strugglers St Johnstone. Second time lucky for scorer Chilvers Not for the first time this season, summer signing for Colchester, Chilvers, was a star man for the Staggies, in a big performance which ended a four-match losing slide. And not only did he put County in front, he lined up sub Nisbet for the goal which all but buried Dundee. And the 23-year-old thought he might have got off the mark even earlier than he did at Dens Park. He said: “I tried to lob the keeper early on and I thought it was in all the way. “I thought I’d never be scoring a goal, but thankfully my goal went in and hopefully, like the away wins, more will come. “We were really pleased with how we played on Thursday. “Everyone, to a man, stood up and fought. We showed a lot of courage to get on the ball and we were creative in the final third. “We defended really well as a team, so it was a good all-round performance.” ‘Statement’ victory Dens Park County’s last Premiership victory away from Dingwall came when Simon Murray, now a Dundee player, scored the . Chilvers said: “For us, it’s just a game of football over 90 minutes, home or away with goalposts at either end, so it was just about getting that out of our minds and trying to play our game. “On Thursday, we could have played our game anywhere and got a result. “It was a massive performance. “To win the way we did makes it a bit of a statement. We were comfortable throughout the game. “It was good to bounce back. “In the games previously, we were competitive, but we just found a way to lose – it was good to win so comfortably at Dundee. “We took the lead, and we didn’t sit back. Dundee had a little bit of domination towards the end of the first half, but we were still comfortable with that. “They didn’t really have a chance, and we controlled the game in and out of possession.” League table is ‘all about perspective’ – Chilvers The festive result lifted County to within one point of Dundee and they now sit just three points behind in-form, seventh-placed, Hibs. Chilvers is relishing the chance to build on their Tayside triumph by beating an under-pressure Hearts side beneath them. He added: “Sunday’s game is one we’re really looking forward to. “It’s another chance for us to go out and show what we can do as a team and as individuals. “When you lose, it’s doom and gloom, when you win, we’re looking up the table – it’s all about perspective. “We have got to just focus on what we’re doing. There’s no point looking at the table. “We’ll try to play like we did against Dundee. If we do that, we will win more than we lose.” County were seconds away from winning 1-0 against Hearts at Tynecastle in September before Lawrence Shankland got the
