A thin layer of snow covered Lahaul, affecting traffic as slippery road conditions made commuting hazardous.
Dominic Zvada kicked a 21-yard field goal with 45 seconds left and Michigan stunned No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday, likely ending the Buckeyes ’ hopes of returning to the Big Ten title game. Late in the game, Kalel Mullings broke away for a 27-yard run, setting up the Wolverines (7-5, 5-4) at Ohio State’s 17-yard line with two minutes remaining. The drive stalled at the 3, and Zvada came on for the chip shot. Ohio State (10-2, 7-2, No. 2 CFP) got the ball back but couldn’t move it, with Will Howard throwing incomplete on fourth down to seal the Wolverines’ fourth straight win over their bitter rival. After the game, Michigan players attempted to plant their flag at midfield and were confronted by Ohio State players. A skirmish ensued as both teams pushed and shoved before being separated. The on-field brawl between the teams required the intervention of police with pepper spray. A fight has broken out between Michigan and Ohio State after The Game pic.twitter.com/XPwdAjfYzN This loss might have been the toughest of those four for Ohio State because the Wolverines were unranked and were wrapping up a disappointing season. The Buckeyes were supposed to win, but records rarely mean much when these two teams meet. Ohio State need No 4 Penn State and No 10 Indiana to lose later Saturday in order to make it into the Big Ten title game next week. The Buckeyes were off all afternoon. Howard was 19 for 33 for 175 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and Jayden Fielding missed two field-goal attempts. The run game was hardly there.

He rushed for 116 yards and the Wolverines only touchdown of the game in the first half as neither team could get much going offensively on the frigid afternoon. Howard was clunky all day. In the first half he threw an interception from deep in his own territory that led to Michigan’s touchdown.

Class Action LawsuitThe ( ) share price has had a tough 2024 and looked too cheap to me to resist. So I bought the oil and gas giant in September and November at what I thought was a bargain valuation of less than six times earnings. I’m down 7.7% so far but given that I aim to hold the stock , these are early days. Long-term BP investors will have had it tougher, with the shares down 18.93% over 12 months. The trailing yield of 5.95% will only partially offset that loss. The obvious culprit is the oil price, with Brent crude falling 6.36% in 2024 to $71.04 a barrel. Can this FTSE 100 stock rally hard next year? BP is more than just an oil producer, but its shares still correlate closely with energy prices. We saw that during the 2022 energy shock when they rocketed. Where oil goes next is anyone’s guess. There are so many variables at play. US President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to ramp up shale production next year. By boosting supply, Trump could drive the price lower. Although if he gets the US economy motoring again, this could drive up demand. But a trade war could drive it back down. Trump has pledged to bring peace to Ukraine. If he manages that, Russian oil and gas could flow into Europe again, driving down prices. But what if he doesn’t? Then there’s Saudi Arabia. In September, there were rumours that it would open the spigots to recover lost market share, driving prices even lower. Yet last week, OPEC+ delayed the beginning of its production increase and slowed the pace of the output hikes. I’ve just read on that natural gas prices are set to surge this winter . And I haven’t even mentioned the green transition. Will the shift to renewables smash fossil fuel prices? Or will falling oil and gas prices smash renewables? That’s a biggie for BP in particular, as it rows back on its ‘Beyond Petroleum’ strategy, and returns to familiar fossils territory. It’s all too much for my little brain. So what do the experts say? On Friday (6 December), predicted Brent crude would average $70 a barrel in the second half of 2025. If correct, that won’t light a fire under the BP share price. Yet the 26 analysts who offer one-year share price forecasts are optimistic. They’ve set a median target of 505.8p, up 34.25% from today. That seems optimistic but I hope they’re right. Of these, 11 call it a Strong Buy, four name it a Buy while 14 say Hold. Only one says Sell. I can justify my decision to purchase BP . I didn’t hold any energy stocks. Plus its shares were dirt cheap. And the dividend is high and rising. Next year it’s forecast to hit 6.3%, covered exactly twice by earnings. Personally, I don’t know where BP shares will go in 2025. Nobody does. But given the low valuation and high yield, I’m happy to go along for the ride.
Blackbaud director Hollenbeck sells $147,096 in stock
A failed Republican Senate candidate with a history of controversial statements – including once blaming gun violence on “Black people, frankly” – is reportedly being mulled by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF. On Thursday, Trump loyalist Blake Masters sat down with the incoming president’s transition team and is said to be interested in becoming the country’s top gun regulator, Semafor reported Friday. Masters had been jockeying to head the Presidential Personnel Office, but Sergio Gor, the president and co-founder of Donald Trump Jr.’s publishing company, took the role, which is responsible for helping to fill administration jobs, according to the publication.

Masters, however, managed to win over Trump’s endorsement. And his “unwavering pro-Trump stance could help him win the role” of ATF director, according to Semafor. The report added that Republicans like Sen. David Perdue and former Rep. Billy Long have parlayed their allegiance to Trump into plum nominations this month after he became president-elect. If he is selected by Trump, Masters’ path to nomination won’t be easy – but that’s mostly due “to the history of the ATF director position, which involves oversight of politically sensitive gun policies,” Semafor reported. However, his “pro-gun” stance may help him win over the support of other pro-gun Republicans. Trump's party can afford to lose up to three defections on any nominee. Another failed congressional candidate has also expressed interest in the ATF position: gun advocate Brandon Herrera, a YouTuber known as the “The AK Guy.” The Texan wrote on X that if selected by Trump, he would “hack, slash and cripple” the agency and eventually disband it “entirely.”SIU: driver that fled OPP traffic stop in Arva fatally injured
