CLINTON, S.C. — Quante Jennings rushed for 190 yards and a tiebreaking touchdown as Presbyterian beat Butler 30-20 in a regular-season finale on Saturday. Collin Hurst threw for 172 yards and two scores and ran for another for the Blue Hose (6-6, 4-4 Pioneer League). Reagan Andrew threw for three touchdowns and was intercepted once for the Bulldogs (9-3, 5-3). Jennings' 50-yard rush led to Hurst's 17-yard touchdown pass to Worth Warner to tie the game at 20 midway through the third quarter. Presbyterian's next possession began on the Butler 30 after a short punt from deep in Bulldogs territory, and five plays later Jennings scored from 10 yards out. Peter Lipscombe made it a 10-point lead with a field goal with 2:15 to go after a 15-play, 89-yard drive that took over 10 minutes. About a minute later, Andrew threw a 42-yard score to Ethan Loss but the Blue Hose recovered the onside kick. The Blue Hose defeated a ranked FCS team — Butler (9-3, 5-3) is No. 23 in the coaches poll — for the first time in its Division I history that began in 2007.South Decatur opened the Arrow Container Holiday Classic against Madison in the final of four games on the opening day of the tournament.

Trump urges high court to freeze TikTok banJefferies Reaffirms Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) as Top AI Pick with $550 Target, Highlighting Broad AI Integration Across ProductsBISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Donald Trump assigned a singular mission in nominating the governor of oil-rich North Dakota to lead an agency that oversees a half-billion acres of federal land and vast areas offshore: “Drill baby drill.” That dictate from the president-elect’s announcement of Burgum for Secretary of Interior sets the stage for a reignition of the over public lands and waters that helped define Trump’s first term, with environmentalists worried about already pledging their opposition. Burgum is an ultra-wealthy software industry entrepreneur who grew up on his family’s farm. He represents a tame choice compared to other Trump Cabinet picks. Public lands experts said his experience as a popular who aligns himself with conservationist Teddy Roosevelt suggests a willingness to collaborate, as opposed to dismantling from within the agency he is tasked with leading. That could help smooth his confirmation and clear the way for the incoming administration to move quickly to open more public lands to development and commercial use. “Burgum strikes me as a credible nominee who could do a credible job as Interior secretary,” said John Leshy, who served as Interior’s solicitor under former President Bill Clinton. “He’s not a right-wing radical on public lands,” added Leshy, professor emeritus at the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco. The Interior Department manages about one-fifth of the country’s land with a mandate that spans from wildlife conservation and recreation to natural resource extraction and fulfilling treaty obligations with Native American tribes. Most of those lands are in the West, where frictions with private landowners and state officials are commonplace and have sometimes mushroomed into violent confrontations with right-wing groups that reject federal jurisdiction. Burgum if confirmed would be faced with a pending U.S. Supreme Court action from Utah that seeks to over Interior Department lands. North Dakota’s attorney general has supported the lawsuit, but Burgum’s office declined to say if he backs Utah’s claims. U.S. Justice Department attorneys on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to reject Utah’s lawsuit. They said Utah in 1894 agreed to give up its right to the lands at issue when it became a state. Trump’s narrow focus on fossil fuels is a replay from his 2016 campaign — although minus coal mining, a that he failed to revive in his first term. Trump repeatedly hailed oil as “liquid gold” on the campaign trail this year and largely omitted any mention of coal. About 26% of U.S. oil comes from federal lands and offshore waters overseen by Interior. Production continues to hit record levels under President Joe Biden despite claims by Trump that the Democrat hindered drilling. But industry representatives and their Republican allies say volumes could be further boosted. They want Burgum and the Interior Department to ramp up oil and gas sales from federal lands, in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Alaska. The oil industry also hopes Trump’s government efficiency initiative led by billionaire Elon Musk can dramatically reduce environmental reviews. Biden’s administration reduced the frequency and size of lease sales, and it restored environmental rules that were . The Democrat as a candidate in 2020 promised further restrictions on drilling to help combat global warming, but he struck a deal for the 2022 climate bill that to be held before renewable energy leases can be sold. “Oil and gas brings billions of dollars of revenue in, but you don’t get that if you don’t have leasing,” said Erik Milito with the National Ocean Industries Association, which represents offshore industries including oil and wind. Trump has vowed to energy projects. But Milito said he was hopeful that with Burgum in place it would be “green lights ahead for everything, not just oil and gas.” It is unclear if Burgum would revive some of the most controversial steps taken at the agency during Trump’s first term, including relocating senior officials out of Washington, D.C., dismantling parts of the Endangered Species Act and shrinking the size of two national monuments in Utah designated by former President Barack Obama. Officials under Biden spent much of the past four years reversing Trump’s moves. They restored the Utah monuments and rescinded numerous Trump regulations. Onshore oil and gas lease sales plummeted — from more than a million acres sold annually under Trump and other previous administrations, to just 91,712 acres (37,115 hectares) sold last year — while many wind and solar projects advanced. Developing energy leases takes years, and oil companies control millions of acres that remain untapped. Biden’s administration also elevated the in public lands decisions, adopting a rule putting it more on par with oil and gas development. They proposed withdrawing parcels of land in six states from potential future mining to protect a struggling bird species, North Dakota is among Republican states that challenged the Biden administration’s public lands rule. The states said in a June lawsuit that officials acting to prevent climate change have turned laws meant to facilitate development into policies that obstruct drilling, livestock grazing and other uses. Oil production boomed over the past two decades in North Dakota thanks in large part to better drilling techniques. Burgum has been an industry champion and last year signed a repeal of the state’s — a price-based tax hike industry leaders removing. Burgum’s office declined an interview request. In a statement after his nomination, Burgum echoed Trump’s call for U.S. “energy dominance” in the global market. The 68-year-old governor also said the Interior post offered an opportunity to improve government relations with developers, tribes, landowners and outdoor enthusiasts “with a focus on maximizing the responsible use of our natural resources with environmental stewardship for the benefit of the American people.” Related Articles Under current Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, the agency put greater emphasis on working collaboratively with tribes, including their own . Haaland, a member of the Pueblo of Laguna tribe in New Mexico, also advanced an initiative to solve criminal cases involving missing and murdered Indigenous peoples and helped lead a nationwide reckoning over that culminated in a formal public apology from Biden. Burgum has worked with tribes in his state, including on oil development. Badlands Conservation Alliance director Shannon Straight in Bismarck, North Dakota, said Burgum has also been a big supporter of tourism in North Dakota and outdoor activities such as hunting and fishing. Yet Straight said that hasn’t translated into additional protections for land in the state. “Theodore Roosevelt had a conservation ethic, and we talk and hold that up as a beautiful standard to live by,” he said. “We haven’t seen it as much on the ground. ... We need to recognize the landscape is only going to be as good as some additional protections.” Burgum has been a cheerleader of the planned in Medora, North Dakota.

RCMP are focused on a brown house at 8774 Highway 97, following an early morning assault. Loud bangs could be heard coming from the area. A window was broken by ERT as they approached the door. Officers can be heard yelling at the home, telling someone inside to surrender and that the place is surrounded. It’s unclear how many people are inside the home. Highway 97 is closed in both directions from Beaver Lake Road and Old Vernon Road due to a police incident. Kelowna and Lake Country RCMP along with the Southeast District’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) are currently investigating an assault from the early morning hours of Friday, Dec. 6. Vehicles are being turned around and motorists are asked to avoid the area. Commonwealth Road also appears to be blocked. RCMP are also focused on a trailer parked on the westside of the highway. After multiple witnesses reported more than 12 RCMP vehicles travelling at a high rate of speed northbound on Highway 97, residents living near Commonwealth Road are confirming a large police presence. The police incident appears to be focused around a home just off Highway 97. Several people took to social media to report dozens of armed RCMP in the area just after 12 p.m. Traffic is heavily backed up southbound on Highway 97. Multiple emergency crews are staging in the Jammery parking lot.

( OTCQB: SEVCF ) (hereafter referred to as “Sono” or the “Company”, parent company to Sono Motors GmbH or “Sono Motors”) today announced its financial results for the first six months of 2024, highlighting a €60.6 million profit and its recovery following its exit from insolvency earlier this year. Key financial highlights €60.6 million profit: The profit primarily stemmed from the extinguishment of liabilities, parental guarantee reversal and recapitalization and reconsolidation of Sono Motors. Operational efficiency: General and administrative expenses decreased significantly from €8.1 million in H1 2023 to €2.9 million in H1 2024, reflecting leaner operations post-restructuring. Substantial reduction in development expenses: Cost of development expenses decreased by over 96% from €16.0 million in H1 2023 to €0.6 million in H1 2024, reflecting the streamlined focus on retrofitting solar technology onto third party vehicles and the discontinuation of the Sion passenger car program. Strengthened cash position: The Company maintained a cash balance of €2.2 million as of June 30, 2024, which was further enhanced by receipt of the second tranche of funding from YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”) in September 2024 in the amount of €3.0 million. This funding reinforced the Company's financial stability and supported its operational growth. Six-Month 2024 Milestone Achievements Exiting insolvency: The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sono Motors, successfully exited its self-administration proceedings in February 2024, marking what the Company believes is a crucial step towards the financial and operational stability of Sono. Additional funding: In H1 2024 Sono received funding commitments of up to €9 million, of which €4 million were received in February 2024 and €3 million in September 2024. Subject to compliance with the terms of the investment, the Company expects the commitments to position it to obtain sufficient funding for its business strategy and operations through June 2025. Commencement of OTCQB trading: On July 2, 2024, the Company's ordinary shares began trading on OTCQB under the symbol "SEVCF," enhancing access for investors and reinforcing shareholder transparency. Recent Updates Green Innovation Award: Sono received the prestigious Green Innovation Award at the Intermobility and Bus Expo (IBE) in Rimini, Italy. The Company believes this accolade highlights the innovative and transformative nature of Sono's solar technology and reinforces its strong position in sustainable mobility solutions. Partnership with Hofmeister & Meincke: Sono is leveraging Hofmeister & Meincke’s strong market presence in Germany and globally to distribute its Solar Bus Kit, Solar Kits for trucks and vans and other solar products to potential customers. A recently completed training program for 80 Hofmeister & Meincke’s sales representatives ensures they are equipped to effectively promote Sono’s innovative solutions, expanding the reach of sustainable mobility technologies. Expanded product portfolio: Sono expanded its portfolio with new options for its solar bus kit, new solar kits for trucks, vans and trailers, as well as high-voltage solar solutions for refrigerated vehicles. These innovative solutions are designed to help fleet operators reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions and cut operational costs, showcasing Sono’s commitment to sustainable and versatile solar applications across various vehicle types. Progress Toward Planned Nasdaq Uplisting: On November 7, 2024, at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, key measures to advance Sono's planned uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Market were approved. These included appointing Owen May to the Supervisory Board, approving amendments to the Articles of Association to meet Nasdaq requirements, and authorizing preferred shares intended to enable potential future conversion of debt into equity. Debt-to-Equity Conversion Term Sheet Signed: Sono has entered into a non-binding term sheet with Yorkville to convert approximately $32 million in outstanding debt into equity through the issuance of preferred shares. This initiative, pending the signing of definitive agreements, strengthens Sono’s balance sheet, reduces default risk, and marks significant progress towards the Company’s planned Nasdaq uplisting. Looking Ahead Managing Director, CEO and CFO George O’Leary said, “We believe our results demonstrate the resilience of our business model and the effectiveness of our strategic pivot to solar retrofit solutions. We see the €60.6 million profit and successful exit from insolvency mark as a key turning point for Sono, setting the stage for sustainable growth.” The Company remains committed to advancing its solar integration technology, providing scalable solutions for the transportation sector and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

FINANCIAL RESULTS (amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) INCOME STATEMENT BALANCE SHEETKendal Lamm is questionable about starting at Right Tackle Sunday when the Miami Dolphins play the New York Jets with an elbow injury. Terron Armstead is questionable to start at Left Tackle as he is working through a knee injury, but he most likely will play. I think the Dolphins should start rookie Tackle Patrick Paul on Sunday against the Jets. Paul is potentially considered Armstead’s replacement, but he also needs to work on his game and gain some experience. Paul is starting to cross-train at right tackle, so it seems like the perfect spot for him to start on Sunday. The Dolphins need to see what they have with him moving forward. Paul has all of the physical tools to play, but he also needs to work on some of his weaknesses, such as his footwork or going against speedy edge rushers. I feel the Dolphins have nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing. Giving him playing time now and potentially the rest of the season will also show the front office and coaching staff if they have a potential starter and if they need to find someone else, just in case. The Dolphins also have at least a handful of offensive line players who aren’t under contract next year. Lamm has already said that this will be his last season, and Armstead contemplated retiring last year, which is why the Dolphins invested a second-round pick in Paul. Paul has had a lot of work practicing as he worked a lot with the first team at left tackle, which the team was basically doing a load management workload with Armstead considering his durability concerns. He also played in all of the preseason games and played almost the whole game in all of them. The question now is can he do it in regular season games? He started in the 4th game filling in for Armstead and I thought he did a decent job. With the Dolphins all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, they really should start considering playing some of their younger players, such as Paul, to see what they have and if they have a future with this team. The Dolphins can’t assume that going into next year, he is going to continue to develop and be fine. They were in denial about the backup quarterback with Skylar Thompson , so look where that got them when Tua Tagovailoa got hurt. I think if Paul plays down the stretch, he will be fine because he has Armstead and Lamm to help him out, just like they did in training camp and the preseason. He also has a good offensive line coach in Butch Berry. The Dolphins have major questions on the offensive line next year especially at the guard position because nobody on the roster at those positions is under contract. The Dolphins can’t afford to have those same questions at tackle if Paul doesn’t get some experience to see what they have in him.

US President-elect Donald Trump filed a brief Friday urging the Supreme Court to pause a law that would ban TikTok the day before his January 20 inauguration if it is not sold by its Chinese owner ByteDance. "In light of the novelty and difficulty of this case, the court should consider staying the statutory deadline to grant more breathing space to address these issues," Trump's legal team wrote, to give him "the opportunity to pursue a political resolution." Trump was fiercely opposed to TikTok during his 2017-21 first term, and tried in vain to ban the video app on national security grounds. The Republican voiced concerns -- echoed by political rivals -- that the Chinese government might tap into US TikTok users' data or manipulate what they see on the platform. US officials had also voiced alarm over the popularity of the video-sharing app with young people, alleging that its parent company is subservient to Beijing and that the app is used to spread propaganda, claims denied by the company and the Chinese government. Trump called for a US company to buy TikTok, with the government sharing in the sale price, and his successor Joe Biden went one stage further -- signing a law to ban the app for the same reasons. Trump has now, however, reversed course. "Now (that) I'm thinking about it, I'm for TikTok, because you need competition," he recently told Bloomberg. "If you don't have TikTok, you have Facebook and Instagram -- and that's, you know, that's Zuckerberg." Facebook, founded by Mark Zuckerberg and part of his Meta tech empire, was among the social media networks that banned Trump after attacks by his supporters on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The ban was driven by concerns that he would use the platform to promote more violence. Those bans on major social media platforms were later lifted. In the brief filed on Friday, Trump's lawyer made it clear the president-elect did not take a position on the legal merits of the current case. "President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute," John Sauer wrote in the amicus curiae -- or "friend of the court" -- brief. "Instead, he respectfully requests that the court consider staying the act's deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case, thus permitting President Trump's incoming Administration the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case." ft/aha

2025 Kia Cerato reviewCLEVELAND (AP) — Germain Ifedi became the fourth left tackle to start this season for the Cleveland Browns, lining up Thursday night against the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers. Ifedi moved up the depth chart and into the lineup after starter Dawand Jones broke his left leg last week at New Orleans and had surgery. He'll be responsible for blocking quarterback Jameis Winston's blindside. Jedrick Wills Jr., who had lost his starting job to Jones, figured to start against the Steelers (8-2), but was ruled out Wednesday with a knee injury that has bothered him for weeks. A first-round pick in 2020, Wills recently caused a stir by saying he made a “business decision” to sit out a game on Oct. 27 against Baltimore because of his knee. Coach Kevin Stefanski said Wills used a “poor choice of words.” James Hudson started Cleveland's first two games at left tackle while the Browns (2-8) waited for Wills to recover from knee surgery in December. The first-place Steelers were without outside linebacker/edge rusher Alex Highsmith, who missed his second straight game with an ankle injury. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is expected to play in Wednesday's game at Houston, NFL Network reported. Flowers is officially listed as questionable for the Ravens (10-5) with a shoulder injury sustained in last Saturday's 34-17 victory over Pittsburgh. Flowers, 24, leads Baltimore in receptions (71) and receiving yards (1,016) with four touchdowns in 15 games (13 starts) this season. On the other side, newly acquired wide receiver Diontae Johnson will not make his debut for the Texans (9-6) on Christmas Day, per the report. Johnson was claimed off waivers from the Ravens on Monday and is not expected to suit up for Houston until its Week 18 contest at Tennessee. Johnson, 28, caught one pass in four games (one start) with Baltimore after being acquired in an Oct. 29 trade with Carolina. He had 30 catches for 357 yards and three TDs in seven starts with the Panthers. --Field Level MediaMy mom was having an affair with my boyfriend... and they would get intimate while I was in the ROOM with them

However, the question remains: How fast can an $800 investment in Pepe Coin turn into $80,000 compared to Dogecoin? Let’s examine the performance, predictions, and timelines for PEPE and DOGE, along with a new contender, Rexas Finance (RXS), which is stealing the spotlight. Pepe Coin’s Meteoric Rise Currently valued at $0.000020, Pepe Coin has increased impressively 129.83% over the past month. Strong inverse head-and-shoulders formation—a technical pattern indicating a bullish breakout—has helped to support its path. The recent breakthrough resistance at 10.93 and its objective at 19.85 marked pivotal moments for the coin. PEPE’s performance over the year-to-date period showcases a staggering 1,400% growth, making it one of the most explosive tokens of 2024. According to expert projections, PEPE is set to surge another 100x by early 2026, potentially reaching $0.002. If these predictions hold, an $800 investment today could transform into $80,000 within approximately two years. This rapid growth timeline highlights PEPE’s ability to generate massive returns faster than many established altcoins. However, its high volatility means investors should proceed cautiously and monitor market conditions closely. Dogecoin’s Steady Ascent Dogecoin trades at $0.4198 and has increased 306% over the past two months. Dogecoin gains from its established reputation, general acceptance, and endorsement of powerful people like Elon Musk, even if its expansion may seem less sudden than PEPE. Analysts predict Dogecoin’s price could rise to $4.19 by 2028, a tenfold increase from its current value. Under this forecast, an $800 investment in DOGE now would translate into $80,000 over four years. Though this timeline is slower than PEPE, investors find Dogecoin appealing because of its relative stability and general acceptance. Among the excitement around meme coins, Rexas Finance (RXS) is a novel idea with unmatched possibilities.
