3win BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Robert Lewandowski converted a first-half penalty kick to become the third player to score 100 goals or more in the Champions League, behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Lewandowski calmly sent a low shot into the net from the spot in the 10th minute to give Barcelona a 1-0 lead against Brest. He scored his 101st goal from inside the area in second-half stoppage time to seal the Catalan's club 3-0 victory. Lewandowski trails the 129 goals of Messi and the 140 of Ronaldo, according to UEFA. Lewandowski needed 125 games to reach his milestone — two more games than Messi and 12 fewer than Ronaldo, who also scored once in the qualifying round. “I'm delighted, it's a nice number,” Lewandowski said. “In the past I didn’t think I could score more than 100 goals in the Champions League." It was Lewandowski's sixth and seventh Champions League goals this season. It's the ninth season in which the Poland striker has scored six or more goals. The 36-year-old Lewandowski is having a standout campaign, having scored 22 goals for Barcelona in 19 appearances. He is the Spanish league’s scoring leader with 15 goals from 14 matches. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerSony’s time in the handheld console space has been both short-lived and underperforming, but perhaps that could change with a new handheld capable of playing PS5 games natively. A new report states that Sony is currently working on such a handheld. It would be a console that allows the user to play games locally on the device. Rather than through Sony’s Remote Play feature for the PlayStation Portal that Sony released in 2023. Sony also recently updated the Portal to support cloud streaming if you’re a PlayStation Plus Premium subscriber. Again, though, this relies on cloud streaming. With an internet connection being a very necessary component for the gaming to take place. This newly rumored Sony PS5 handheld would truly allow gamers to play their favorite games anywhere. Even if there’s no internet connection, assuming they’re not trying to play a game that needs internet to work. The Sony PS5 handheld is “years away” The prospect of Sony making a handheld for native gameplay is an exciting one. Especially since its PSP and PS Vita were so beloved by the majority of gamers who went out and bought one. Even though the PS Vita didn’t sell well, it has a cult following of fans. And for the most part, it was a great little system. Sony just didn’t market or support it very well. It also came at a time when Nintendo dominated the handheld space. Which hasn’t really changed. More importantly, handhelds just weren’t as popular at the time. That’s something that has changed. The Nintendo Switch exploded in popularity and has become one of the best-selling consoles of all time. That’s been followed by the Steam Deck and several other gaming handhelds that play PC games locally, including the ASUS ROG Ally X . So perhaps the time is right for Sony to enter this space and have the console be a hit. After all, the PlayStation Portal has exceeded Sony’s sales predictions. The major caveat here is the release time. As it currently stands, there isn’t one. According to Bloomberg , which cites anonymous sources familiar with Sony’s plans, the console is still years away. There’s also the very real possibility that Sony changes its mind and decides not to continue development at some point down the road. Sony is making the console to compete with Nintendo and Microsoft Despite now just being a great time to release a handheld, Sony is also reportedly making this console to compete with Nintendo and Microsoft. Nintendo is already a leader in this gaming space thanks to the Switch. The company is also preparing to launch the Nintendo Switch 2 sometime in the first half of next year. Microsoft has also confirmed that it’s considering an Xbox handheld . Sony wants a piece of that pie. The plan is to potentially extend Sony’s reach and get its PS5 games into more hands. It’s also highly likely that a large portion of PS5 owners would opt to buy one. If that were the case, Sony could capture a part of the market that doesn’t really want a home console, in addition to those who already own a PS5 and want a way to play their games on the go without the requirement of an internet connection.SET predicts more Chinese, US interest

LABATT INVESTS $5.47 MILLION TO EXPAND FLEET IN QUEBECAtomic Data Becomes Official IT Provider of the Fishers Event Center

The East Texas Council of Governments will disburse $1.75 million in grants to help improve emergency radio infrastructure, including to the City of Kilgore, Rains and Van Zandt counties, and others. Funded through Texas State House Bill 442 and administered by the Governor’s Public Safety Office, ETCOG said the State Emergency Radio Infrastructure program will support four key projects to improve current capabilities and address significant communication gaps. The City of Kilgore received $220,000 for TxWARN integration. The City of Kilgore recently joined the TxWARN system alongside Gregg County and the City of Longview. The grant will help them upgrade their consoles to fully integrate their services into TxWARN. Harrison County received $750,000 to help expand its TxWARN system to address a communication dead spot between Harrison and Gregg counties. A new Motorola tower will be established to enhance coverage for both counties and make it accessible for TxDOT use, ETCOG said. Rains County will upgrade its VHF System with a total of $600,000. ETCOG said Rains County’s current VHF system is experiencing severe operability issues, hindering communication between officers and dispatch. Two new Motorola tower locations with improved height and coverage, along with new repeater equipment, are planned. Van Zandt County will use $180,000 to enhance its interoperability. Van Zandt County currently operates a radio system with L3Harris. This project will upgrade all five repeaters across its towers to improve interoperability with its volunteer fire departments and other agencies. In Harrison County, officials see the grant as a crucial step in achieving a long-term goal of modernizing communication systems. Harrison County Judge Chad Sims reflected on the progress made over the past two years in a press release. “A little over two years ago, leadership in Harrison County and the City of Marshall embarked on a multi-million-dollar journey to modernize and revitalize aging communications systems that were severely lacking,” said Sims. “With the goal of ‘interoperable communications’ for all Harrison County first responders in mind, we partnered with other governmental agencies and private enterprises to develop a comprehensive plan.” Judge Sims explained how the SERI grant aligned perfectly with their vision. “In the early Spring of 2024, a SERI grant became available to support the construction and equipping of a communications tower. With assistance and guidance from the ETCOG staff, we applied and were recently awarded $750,000. This grant enables us to plug a big hole in our coverage map, accomplishing this critical improvement years ahead of schedule. The new tower and equipment will provide a much greater blanket of coverage for our first responders, translating to confidence and security for everyone.” Rains County Commissioner Jeremy Cook emphasized the importance of these upgrades in a press release. “Rains County, like other small counties, has witnessed technology surpass our current communication infrastructure capabilities,” said Cook. “We have had numerous dangerous incidents where our first responders were unable to communicate. Fortunately, no one has been hurt or worse. “Our Sheriff, Michael Hopkins, brought this issue to our attention, and with the assistance of Donetta Miller and the incredible ETCOG staff, we were fortunate enough to secure the SERI grant,” Cook added. “Donetta has gone above and beyond, connecting us with key partners like TxDOT, who will assist with the design, construction, and maintenance of the tower and communication system. This grant will create a safer and more successful environment for all first responders in Rains County while enhancing communications with state and local departments — truly a win-win.”

This combination of pictures created on November 25, 2024 shows former US President Donald Trump (left) on February 15, 2024 and special counsel Jack Smith (right) on August 1, 2023. Trump’s team welcomed what it called a “major victory” on Monday after Smith moved to dismiss the case against the US president-elect for allegedly conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election. (Photo by TIMOTHY A. CLARY and SAUL LOEB / AFP) WASHINGTON, United States — A judge on Monday granted a request by prosecutors to dismiss the election subversion case against Donald Trump because of a Justice Department policy of not prosecuting a sitting president. Judge Tanya Chutkan agreed to the request by Special Counsel Jack Smith to dismiss the case against the president-elect “without prejudice,” meaning it could potentially be revived after Trump leaves the White House four years from now. “Dismissal without prejudice is appropriate here,” Chutkan said, adding in the ruling that “the immunity afforded to a sitting President is temporary, expiring when they leave office.” Trump, 78, was accused of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden and removing large quantities of top secret documents after leaving the White House, but the cases never came to trial. Smith also moved on Monday to drop his appeal of the dismissal of the documents case filed against the former president in Florida. That case was tossed out earlier this year by a Trump-appointed judge on the grounds that Smith was unlawfully appointed. The special counsel paused the election interference case and the documents case this month after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election. Smith cited the long-standing Justice Department policy of not indicting or prosecuting a sitting president in his motions to have the cases dismissed. “The Government’s position on the merits of the defendant’s prosecution has not changed,” Smith said in the filing with Chutkan. “But the circumstances have.” “It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President,” Smith said. “As a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated.” In a separate filing, Smith said he was withdrawing his appeal of the dismissal of the classified documents case against Trump but pursuing the case against his two co-defendants, Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said the cases were “empty and lawless, and should never have been brought.” “Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME,” he said. “Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before.” Trump was accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding — the session of Congress called to certify Biden’s win, which was violently attacked on January 6, 2021 by a mob of the then-president’s supporters. Trump was also accused of seeking to disenfranchise US voters with his false claims that he won the 2020 election. The former and incoming president also faces two state cases — in New York and Georgia. He was convicted in New York in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election to stop her from revealing an alleged 2006 sexual encounter. However, Judge Juan Merchan has postponed sentencing while he considers a request from Trump’s lawyers that the conviction be thrown out in light of the Supreme Court ruling in July that an ex-president has broad immunity from prosecution.
