TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — This isn’t a week when coach Todd Bowles feels he needs to find the right words to ensure his Tampa Bay Buccaneers are motivated to face the last-place Carolina Panthers. The Bucs (8-7) have won eight of the last nine meetings between the NFC South rivals, including the past three with Baker Mayfield at quarterback. It hasn’t exactly been smoothly sailing against the Panthers (4-11), though, for the three-time defending division champions. And, with at least a share of first place on the line Sunday, Bowles and his players say they are focused solely on rebounding from last week’s disappointing loss to the Dallas Cowboys. “We know it’s going to be a tough ballgame. It went overtime last time. They’re coached very well; they play very hard,” Bowles said, referencing Tampa Bay’s 26-23 win at Carolina on Dec. 1. “We know what’s at stake for us. It doesn’t need to be talked about. Everybody understands that,” Bowles added. “We’ve got to clean up our own mistakes, and we’ve got to play an error-free football game.” The Bucs are tied with Atlanta for the best record in the NFC South, however the Falcons (8-7) hold the tiebreaker after sweeping the season series between the teams. RELATED COVERAGE Dolphins are on the outside of AFC playoffs and need help and a win over Browns to have any chance Bills seek to shore up playoff positioning in hosting Jets team looking ahead to uncertain offseason Surging Rams host the eliminated Cardinals in the rematch of a rare blowout loss for Sean McVay To claim a fourth straight division title, Tampa Bay needs to win remaining home games against the Panthers and New Orleans Saints while Atlanta loses at least once in the last two weeks of the regular season. If the Falcons hold on to win the South, the Bucs can earn a wild-card playoff berth if they win out and the Washington Commanders lose twice. Mayfield, who has resurrected his career since being released by Carolina two years ago, summed up the attitude in a resilient locker room. The Bucs have won four of five games following a four-game losing streak threatened their playoff hopes. “I keep saying it, this team has the mental makeup of a great team. We just have to continue to fight and find ways to win,” the quarterback said. “If we don’t take of business, we won’t be in the playoffs.” Chuba’s revenge Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard cost his team the game four weeks ago against Tampa Bay when he fumbled on the second possession of overtime just after Carolina had reached field goal range. Mayfield responded by leading the Bucs back down the field for the winning field goal. The loss was devastating for Hubbard at the time, but he promised himself when the opportunity arose again he’d make the most of it. He did that this past Sunday, when he carried twice for 49 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown run in which he broke two tackles, in overtime to lift the Panthers to a 36-30 win over Arizona, knocking the Cardinals out of the playoff hunt. “I’d let it go, but it’s definitely been in the back of my head a little bit,” Hubbard said. “Like I said, when the next opportunity came, I told myself I’m going to get it back for them. To be able to have them trust me in that opportunity again, and to have it in that way is a blessing from God.” Young’s development Bryce Young has shown solid progress in his decision making, particularly when the pocket begins to break down. Last week, the second-year QB ran for a career-best 68 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown. Young was benched after two games this season, but since returning to the lineup has played better, restoring some faith that perhaps the No. 1 overall pick in 2023 can be the team’s quarterback of the future. “Just time in the system and time as a team for us to come together,” Young said of why he has improved. “For me, being able to get reps, and get time with everyone. It’s just all of us being able to feed off of each other, and it’s been able to allow us to turn in the right direction.” Awful vs. the run The Panthers have been abysmal against the run, allowing nearly 200 yards per game on the ground over the last seven games. In the last meeting with Tampa Bay, Bucky Irving ran for a career-high 152 yards and a touchdown, so Carolina’s defense has a good idea of what’s coming Sunday. Close calls Mayfield has beaten Carolina three times since joining the Bucs in 2023. All of the meetings have been close, though, with the Panthers losing twice by three points and Tampa Bay settling for three field goals in a 9-0 regular season-ending victory that clinched its third straight NFC South championship last January. “We know them well. They know us well,” Mayfield said. ___ AP Sports Writer Steve Reed in Charlotte, North Carolina, contributed to this report. ___ NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflDecoding 5 Analyst Evaluations For USA Compression Partners
A man living in Southern California has been accused of shipping guns, thousands of rounds of ammunition and other military items to North Korea in shipping containers. Shenghua Wen, a 41-year-old Chinese national illegally living in Ontario, California, was arrested Tuesday morning and charged with conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), according to a U.S. Department of Justice release. Violating the IEEPA includes breaking the law by doing business with a sanctioned country or individual despite the restrictions. According to the Legal Information Institute , it can consist of transferring funds, making payments or conducting trade with a designated entity, potentially leading to severe civil and criminal penalties. If convicted, Wen could be sentenced to a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. Court records did not indicate that Wen had legal representation as of Tuesday. What did Shenghua Wen do? According to an affidavit filed Nov. 26, Wen obtained the guns, ammunition and export-controlled technology to ship them to North Korea, which is a violation of federal law and U.S. sanctions against that nation, according to the Justice Department. The shipping containers full of guns and ammunition were allegedly shipped from Long Beach through Hong Kong to North Korea by Wen and his unidentified co-conspirators, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. Law enforcement searched Wen's home on Aug. 14 and seized two devices — a chemical threat identification device and a hand-held broadband receiver that detects eavesdropping devices — that he intended to send to North Korea for military use, according to the Justice Department. A month later, on Sept. 6, law enforcement seized about 50,000 rounds of 9mm ammunition that Wen allegedly obtained to send to North Korea, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. US Attorney's Office: Photographs of guns found on Shenghua Wen's iPhone When law enforcement reviewed Wen's iPhone, they learned that in December 2023 he had smuggled items from Long Beach to Hong Kong with their final destination being North Korea, according to the release. Messages from Wen's cell phones revealed conversations he had earlier this year with co-conspirators about shipping military-grade equipment to North Korea, the U.S. Attorney's Office said, adding that the some of texts included photographs of the firearms. From January to April, Wen sent emails and text messages to a U.S.-based broker about obtaining a civilian plane engine, according to the Justice Department. Several text messages were on Wen's iPhone about price negotiations for the plane and its engine, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. Who is Shenghua Wen? Wen is considered illegal in the U.S. after overstaying his student visa, meaning that he is prohibited from owning or possessing any firearms or ammunition, according to the release. Wen also does not have the required licenses from the U.S. government to export ammunition, firearms and the other devices that law enforcement seized at his home to North Korea, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.A Virginia zoo is celebrating the arrival of an adorable newborn pygmy hippo who made her debut just before Christmas. The baby hippo, a girl who has not yet been named, was born to parents Iris and Corwin at Metro Richmond Zoo on Dec. 9. She's their third female calf in under five years. The zoo said Iris was all smiles on Christmas morning. "Most people don't get a hippopotamus for Christmas at all, so we feel lucky to have received two over the years," the zoo said. Iris and Corwin's previous calf was born on Dec. 6, 2022. Iris delivered her latest newborn after a seven-month gestation, zoo officials said. She gave birth in an indoor pool. "The baby's natural instincts kicked in and she started moving around in the water immediately," the zoo said on its website. The mom and newborn are currently being kept in an enclosure that is not on exhibit to give them privacy while they bond. "Iris is an experienced mother and very protective of her calf," the zoo said. "The calf is nursing and growing quickly." The new pygmy hippo was weighed when she was 5 days old and came in at a healthy 15 pounds, the zoo said. She could grow to weigh up to 600 pounds. Her birth will help preserve the species, which is endangered. Fewer than 2,500 mature pygmy hippos remain in the wild, according to the zoo. The species is native to the swamps and rivers of West Africa, where it's threatened by poaching and loss of habitat. Pygmy hippos do not live in groups, so after they grew up, Iris' two previous calves were moved to other zoological facilities "to live with future mates and continue contributing to the conservation of their species," the zoo said. The species is nocturnal, and the zoo says they can live up to 55 years. Earlier this year, a newborn baby hippo in Thailand named Moo Deng became a global sensation when a zookeeper started sharing her cutest moments on social media.

Sweet Earth (OTCMKTS:SEHCF) Stock Price Up 38.1% – Here’s What HappenedWhat story is this government trying to tell, exactly? Rounding the bend to an election, its final parliamentary sitting fortnight for the year – and maybe this electoral term – is a blizzard of legislation, ta-daa announcements, and high-profile politically motivated cross-party deals dressed up as reform, some of which are falling over as quickly as they've been stood up. The government party room approved 10 separate pieces of legislation on Tuesday and amendments to 11 more. So any absence of coherence is not for a lack of activity. And yet, that's how it seems. Where is the thread that weaves all this busy-ness into the steady reassurance, firm-hand-but-warm-heart, pointing-forward-together kind of governing that people are yearning for as the year ends? Dunno. Can't see it. As the politically active seasons retreat into summer, we in the media are being bombarded by embargoed slivers of imminent government reveals. The few oblique paragraphs from a minister's speech that will likely – in its entirety – be quite interesting and even newsworthy when delivered in full tomorrow but just isn't in its deconstructed form, and the single tantalising headline-focused detail from an important proposed change to the law about which we aren't allowed to know more until after we publish it. All of these morsels are landing in the inbox day after day, with the expectation that we will publish every one, just because they're there and the government thinks we should. This is about trying to get multiple days' media coverage out of every action. No one minister's office seems to know what anyone else is up to. The missives all come at once, often late in the day, all demanding attention, some actually quite important, crashing and tumbling over each other, embargoed til 10.30pm. It's meant to show action. But it feels a bit like panic. Telling your story to Australia takes more than prefab quotes and postbox communication. It takes inspiration and confidence and,... Karen Middleton

Should the U.S. increase immigration levels for highly skilled workers?
Web3mediabreaks Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ: RUM) Secures $775M Strategic Boost From Tether To Accelerate GrowthHunter animal pounds and shelters are full and facing growing wait-lists for surrenders as a government inquiry details the dire "rehoming crisis" crippling the state. Login or signup to continue reading A NSW government inquiry into pounds released a report in October with 24 recommendations to improve animal welfare. The inquiry found that NSW was facing an "animal rehoming crisis" with pounds and rescues severely underfunded and over-capacity with heavy reliance on rescue and rehoming organisations. Dog ownership has skyrocketed since the pandemic. Government data shows there were 105,168 microchipped dogs in Lake Macquarie, 48,335 in Maitland and 64,054 in Newcastle in the July-September quarter of 2024. This is up from 102,108 in Lake Macquarie, 46,364 in Maitland and 61,899 in Newcastle the previous year, and a major increase from 88,698 in Lake Macquarie, 38,620 in Maitland and 54,316 in 2020. Dog Rescue Newcastle founder Sue Barker said the number of dogs needing homes was higher than ever. "It's out of control," she said. "I've been doing rescue since 1984 formally and it's worse than it's ever been." The Newcastle rescue saved 851 dogs from either private surrenders or overflowing pounds and found homes for 857 over the course of 2024. Ms Barker said animals were passed onto rescue groups after pounds were increasingly becoming full. Pound data from 2023-24 shows Newcastle council had 158 incoming dogs and 11 cats. Of those, 90 dogs and nine cats were released to rescue and rehoming organisations. Lake Macquarie council had 278 incoming dogs and 96 cats, with 79 dogs and 73 cats released to organisations for re-homing. In Maitland, 413 dogs and 106 cats were reported with 104 dogs and 92 cats released to organisations for re-homing. Maitland is in the top 12 local government areas in the state for dogs in its facilities. Maitland council director city planning Matt Prendergast said the Maitland Animal Management Facility serviced Maitland, Cessnock and Dungog. "As a result, there is pressure from the community and a growing waitlist for surrenders, with rental housing issues, homelessness, cost of living and domestic violence commonly cited as reasons for requiring to surrender an animal," Mr Prendergast said. "We take a proactive approach to managing companion animals in the Maitland LGA, and despite high incoming animal numbers, there is a very high return to home rate - last month, this was over 90 per cent." Ms Barker reported similar factors as the cause of the issue. "A lot of it is because of the housing crisis and out of control breeding," she said. "Also people can't get rentals with their dogs - there's a break-up in families and neither party can take the dog. "It's a crisis - I don't sleep." The inquiry committee has recommended the NSW government urgently introduce legislation to ensure tenants can rent with animals and implement puppy farming reform. The NSW government announced on October 25 it will introduce legislation to parliament to make it easier to have pets in rentals, with landlords only able to decline on certain grounds. The inquiry also found a large number of animals were still being killed in NSW pounds, which is "unacceptable". "Animals are being killed simply because of space, " Ms Barker said. "This shouldn't be happening in this day and age." While Hunter councils have lower euthanasia rates than some other areas of NSW, dogs and cats have been put down in the region's pounds for various reasons. According to 2023-24 pound data, Newcastle had 11 dogs euthanised that were unable to be rehomed; two dogs euthanised at the owner's request; one dog euthanised after being deemed dangerous, restricted or other and two cats put down due to being feral or infant. Three dogs in Maitland were euthanised due to illness or injury and six dogs were euthanised due to being dangerous, restricted or other. Four cats were euthanised due to being feral or infant. Lake Macquarie had more animals euthanised than the other two councils, including 36 dogs deemed unsuitable for re-homing and eight cats that were feral or infant. Four dogs and three cats were euthanised due to illness or injury, eight dogs were euthanised as they were unable to be rehomed and one dog was euthanised due to being dangerous, restricted or other. Mr Prendergast said Maitland council did not euthanise animals unless there was "an overwhelming need due to significant medical or behavioural issues". The committee found that many pound facilities were sub-standard, not fit for purpose, and failed to meet community expectations for animal welfare. Ms Barker said council pounds she had dealt with were "totally inadequate for the numbers coming in". The inquiry has recommended the government provide increased funding for council pounds and provide ongoing grant funding to rescue services. The City of Newcastle spokesperson said a 2022 amendment to the Companion Animals Act had increased management costs for councils, as impounded animals often stayed longer while arrangements with rehoming organisations were made. "City of Newcastle welcomes any increases in funding from the NSW Government to assist with its legislated animal management obligations, to support the safe management of animals within the Newcastle Local Government Area," the spokesperson said. "City of Newcastle has faced delays in receiving nominated funding from the Office of Local Government related to animal registrations within Newcastle. This impacts the operational costs of managing our community services related to companion animals in Newcastle." Mr Prendergast said Maitland council would "fully support" increased opportunities for grant funding to help alleviate the strain currently placed by the pound system. Mr Poulton said there was "no doubt there is high demand on rehoming services and we see some of the recommendations in the recent report as key to supporting their ongoing work". Councils say they aim to take a proactive approach to animal management and encourage responsible pet ownership and microchipping. A City of Newcastle spokesperson said the council engaged daily with re-homing organisations, locally and across the country. "We have one of the highest rehoming rates in Australia, with 95 per cent of animals taken into care last year able to be returned to their owner or rehomed," the spokesperson said. "Our team has facilitated re-homing 12 animals to interstate locations since taking over the management of impounded animals (6 in the 2023/24 financial year and 6 so far in the 2024/25 financial year)." Lake Macquarie council manager environmental regulation and compliance Derek Poulton said over the past four years increased number of animals have been returned to their owners in the field before entering the facility due to improved animal registration programs. "We've actually seen a reduction in animals entering our facility and more stable animal numbers being surrendered and requiring rehoming via our 16 possible rehoming rescue partners," he said. "There have been several occasions over the years that our facility has reached capacity. Fortunately, this is a very rare event that has only ever occurred for a short period." Maitland council is also undertaking a feasibility study to determine what more permanent expansion options of its pound could look like.

The profile of the Most Valuable Player of the 2024 Zenith Bank Women’s Basketball League, Hembam Wandoo, continued to rise as she is set to lead Nigeria cadet team to the world stage after her historic performance for MFM Women Basketball team, helping them to win back-to-back league titles. It has been an interesting year for the 16-year-old leading both the MFM team and the U-16 J’Tigress to great height and is ready to take her stock further at the 2025 FIBA U-18 Women’s World Cup in Czech Republic. In recognition of Wandoo’s contributions to the success of the team, MFM catalogued the various individual and team honours the national U-18 J’Tigress’ star attained in recent time. The Benue State-born Wandoo played pivotal roles in MFM’s championship winning performances in 2023 and 2024, winning the Most Valuable Player award in the later. At National Sports Festivals, she picked up silver while representing Benue State in 2020 and gold with Delta State in 2022. Gushing about the exploits of the talented ball handler, MFMWBBC’s Chairman, Godwin Enakhena, chose glowing words to describe Wandoo. “One of the most dedicated players in the team. We’ve a team made up of very committed players, and she’s one of them,” Enakhena said. “A team player. The world is at her feet.”
Chad Chronister withdraws from Trump's DEA admin nominationTHE HAGUE, Netherlands — Alyssa Naher made two critical saves in her final match for the United States, Lynn Williams scored the go-ahead goal in the 71st minute and the Americans beat the Netherlands, 2-1, in an exhibition match on Tuesday. The U.S., which won its fifth Olympic gold medal in France this summer, closed its 2024 schedule on a 20-game unbeaten streak. The Americans were coming off a scoreless draw with England in another exhibition on Saturday at Wembley Stadium . Naeher announced two weeks ago that the European matches would be her last . The 36-year-old goalkeeper played in 115 games for the U.S., with 111 starts, 89 wins and 69 shutouts. Naeher is the only U.S. keeper with shutouts in both a World Cup and an Olympic final. She was in goal when the United States defeated the Netherlands, 2-0, in the 2019 Women’s World Cup final. The Netherlands took the lead on center back Veerle Buurman’s header off a corner kick in the 15th minute. Naeher prevented a second goal when she punched away Dominique Janssen’s shot in the 38th. The United States drew even at the end of the first half on an own goal that deflected off Buurman and past Dutch goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar. Naeher slid to stop Danielle van de Donk’s shot in the 69th minute before Williams scored her fourth goal of the year and 21st of her career. Lily Yohannes came in as a substitute in the second half. Yohannes, who has dual citizenship, opted to play for the United States over the Netherlands last month. She plays professionally for the Dutch club Ajax.

For the first time since October 6th, the headlines will read “Cowboys win.” In one of the craziest games you will ever see, Dallas pulled off a 34-26 upset over the Washington Commanders. With this wild win, the Cowboys have snapped a 5-game losing streak. That was seriously the weirdest NFL game I have seen. From the start to the finish, that was truly insane. We saw a slew of bizarre plays, turnovers, blocked kicks, a seemingly game-icing kickoff return touchdown, before a miracle touchdown and a missed extra point. At times, it felt like both teams were competing to lose this one, but you can’t knock Dallas ‘ effort today. They played incredibly hard, especially on the defensive side. Mike Zimmer’s guys stood out today, and they needed to. There were no excuses this time around . This game was a circus. I have no idea what we just witnessed, but let’s dive into it. How Did That Happen? If you’re trying to piece together exactly how that Cowboys win happened, you have to start with the incredibly sloppy play by Washington. The Commanders’ offense, until the final three minutes, was brutal today; they turned it over, missed opportunities, and overall looked like a lackluster unit. For a team that has been nothing but fireworks on that side of the ball, this was a dud for 98% of the game. Washington turned it over twice, including a Jayden Daniels’ bizarre interception by Defensive End, Chauncey Golston. Chauncey Golston makes play on the ball for the INT : #DALvsWAS on FOX : https://t.co/waVpO909ge pic.twitter.com/wCl0Uzlk0X In addition to the offensive performance, what ultimately killed them was one of the worst, most sloppy, special teams performances I’ve ever seen. Kicker Austin Seibert, who was returning from injury, missed two extra points and a 51-yard field goal early in the first quarter. One of those extra points, of course, came after an absolute miracle touchdown from Daniels to Terry McLaurin. On one play, in 12 seconds, the Commanders’ offense scored an 86-yard touchdown. The Dallas defense’s mistakes on this play will be overlooked by the mayhem of the moment, but boy, did they screw that up. JAYDEN DANIELS TO TERRY MCLAURIN NO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! 86 YARDS! pic.twitter.com/T3ITuxRk0c It wasn’t just in the field goal-kicking game, however. The Commanders made the bizarre decision to kick off to KaVontae Turpin late in the game, when they could instead have just kicked it out of the back end zone. This resulted in Turpin pulling off one of the best returns I’ve ever seen, and for just a moment, it seemed like that was going to be the game-winner. It’s important that we not just shine a light on Washington’s flubs, though; this victory was also the result of some impressive play from Dallas. Despite their mistakes at the end, the Cowboys defense stood tall, and the offense, occasionally, came up with some nice plays. This is a major morale boost for Dallas, as this game was not even expected to be close, but what does it mean in the big picture? The Bottom Line Heading into this game, it looked entirely possible for the Cowboys to lose out this season, and finish the year 3-14. Now, they have secured a win on the road as a huge underdog, and will now face the lowly Giants at home on Thanksgiving. Some will argue, including myself, that Dallas was better off losing this game as they are still far from the playoff picture. Cooper Rush, despite an improvement in performance today, is still clearly not built for a playoff push. At 4-7, this season is still likely all but over for Dallas. Cooper Rush HAS to start pushing the ball down the field. Teams are daring him to and he isn't making them pay. That said, could this win propel them, especially on the defensive side, to continue making good teams sweat? Most definitely. If they start playing with the chip on their shoulder that we saw today, they could become much more competitive. So, Cowboys fans , if you were rooting for a win today, enjoy it, it was crazy. If you were hoping for a continuation of the top-5 draft pick prophecy, don’t sweat it too much. The overall outlook for Dallas is still bleak, but man, this was a sight to see in Washington D.C. in Week 12.
