Ellis announces candidacy for Assembly special election to fill Fong's old seatNORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma appears to have borrowed from the past to cure its recent offensive ills. The Sooners , best known this century for a passing prowess that has produced four Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks, took it back to the 20th century against then-No. 7 Alabama. Oklahoma ran 50 times for 257 yards while only throwing 12 times in a 24-3 win over the Crimson Tide that took coach Brent Venables off the hot seat. The Sooners more resembled Barry Switzer’s squads that dominated the old Big 8 with the wishbone offense in the 1970s and ’80s than the more recent Air Raid teams. Venables said the change was a matter of necessity for a unit that has been besieged by injuries at receiver and offensive line. “I think this staff has done a really good job with trying to figure that out, get better every week, put together a great gameplan but also figure out, ‘OK, what does this group of guys, what does this team — what do we need to do?'” Venables said. To make it work, Oklahoma needed to trust that such a change would work in the modern Southeastern Conference. They had to implement it with an interim play-caller in Joe Jon Finley, who stepped in after the Sooners fired Seth Littrell last month. Oklahoma (6-5, 2-5 SEC) pulled it off, and LSU coach Brian Kelly has taken notice ahead of their game on Saturday. “This is now much more about controlling the football, running the football, playing with physicality," Kelly said. "They've got perimeter skill, but I think it's centered around much more of a run-centric, quarterback run and take care of the football." The Sooners started to see success on the ground against Maine. They ran 52 times for 381 yards in a 59-14 win that got the wheels turning. Jovantae Barnes ran for career highs of 203 yards and three touchdowns that day. Venables said the timing of the opportunity to play that non-conference game against Maine in early November and figure some things out was perfect. “Everybody has some degree of vulnerability and maybe some self-doubt,” he said. “And just developing some confidence and putting something on tape other than practice, like, ‘Man, look, see what you’re capable of?’ And executing against, again, a well-coached team — certainly, we played off of that in all the right ways like you would expect us to. And so there’s a real place for that.” After a bye week, the Sooners tried the same approach against Missouri. It wasn't as successful — they ran 36 times for 122 yards — but they hung tough before losing 30-23 . The Sooners went all in against Alabama. Jackson Arnold — the same guy who threw 45 times in the Alamo Bowl last year, ran 25 times for 131 yards and threw just 11 passes. The Sooners found something in running back Xavier Robinson. With Barnes out with an injury, Robinson carried 18 times for career highs of 107 yards and two touchdowns. Suddenly, a team that had been forcing the pass and getting sacked at an alarming rate was moving the line of scrimmage and controlling the tempo. Oklahoma had the ball for more than 34 minutes against the Crimson Tide, lending support to a talented defense that had been spending way too much time on the field. The new approach could be helpful on Saturday — LSU (7-4, 4-3) ranks 14th out of 16 conference teams against the run. Venables said the Sooners still need to throw the ball well to win, but he's glad to know his squad can run with force when necessary. “I think that’s the art of having a system that’s adjustable, flexible, adaptable, week in and week out, but also has an identity — toughness, physicality," he said. "You’ve got to be able to run the ball at every level of football, but you do have to throw it. You can’t just do one thing. But we need to be efficient.” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Authorities in Ohio have identified a 15-year-old youth as the person officials said was carrying a loaded weapon when he was shot and killed by an Akron police officer following gunshots in the area on Thanksgiving night. The Summit County medical examiner's office on Friday night identified the person shot as 15-year-old Jazmir Tucker of Maple Heights. Police said in a news release that two patrol officers were in a parked police cruiser in the Sherbondy Hill neighborhood as they worked on a report from an unrelated incident. They heard gunshots nearby just after 11 p.m. Thursday and got out to investigate, police said. Shortly afterward, the officers encountered the youth with a loaded firearm, police said. One of the officers fired, striking the youth, who was provided first aid and then taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Police said the officer who fired, who has been on the force for nearly five years, and his partner were placed on paid administrative leave per department policy. The Fraternal Order of Police Akron Lodge No. 7 said in a social media post that its members were cooperating with investigators. Mayor Shammas Malik said in a social media post Friday night that “Every loss of life is a tragedy, and to lose a young life is heartbreaking." He offered condolences to Tucker's loved ones and said his thoughts were also with “our Akron police officers and their families.” Malik said he believed the investigation by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation would provide “a full understanding of the incident.” “I ask our community to reserve judgment until more facts are shared, knowing that it is a difficult thing to ask in situations like this,” he said. Malik also said the city would release body-worn camera footage within the next week “to provide transparency into this incident.” The state attorney general’s office will review the results of the bureau's investigation before submitting the report to a Summit County grand jury for evaluation. Akron police will also do a separate internal investigation and provide the results to the police chief and the city’s police auditor. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press . All rights reserved.

READ:One of the two men rescued from the Maine woods Wednesday night has been taken to Boston for frostbite treatment and possible amputation, his wife said. Gary Foster, 75, left, and Sidney Hoyt, 77. Both men are from Bangor. Photo courtesy of Maine Warden Service Constance Hoyt, 78, said her husband, Sidney Hoyt, 77, was only wearing socks and sandals when he stepped out of his car to look for help after getting turned around on rural roads near Bangor. Authorities found him and a friend, 75-year-old Gary Foster, after dark Wednesday night. “He didn’t put any boots on. His feet froze,” Constance Hoyt said on a Thursday afternoon phone call. “I looked at his toes, and they were pretty black.” Foster was still in the car, which slid off the road and into a ditch, but Sidney Hoyt had collapsed after walking down a nearby path, Constance Hoyt said. The men had been missing for more than 24 hours, enduring temperatures that dropped below freezing, before a couple on a nearby farm heard their cries for help and called the 911 . “We had a lot of people praying. My church was praying,” Constance Hoyt said. Maine Game Warden Jonathan Parker found the men along a remote road in Township 32, about 15 miles northeast of Bangor, officials said. Parker found the men a few turns off of Stud Mill Road, which runs from Milford, in Penobscot County, to Princeton, in Washington County. Sidney Hoyt was taken to Boston before noon and was “in a lot of pain,” his wife said around 2:30 p.m., but she had not gotten an update on his condition since he was transported south Thursday morning. She said doctors may need to amputate his toes or part of his feet, but the scope of the damage was still being determined. Foster was admitted to the Maine Veteran’s Home in Bangor in October, and this was the first day trip he had been allowed to take, Constance Hoyt said. Constance Hoyt said she believed Foster was still in Maine, but had not heard any recent updates on his condition. A spokesperson for the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife did not immediately return a phone call asking about Foster’s status. An employee reached by phone at the Bangor Veterans Home referred a reporter to an email address at the central office, which did not reply to questions about Foster’s condition or their day-trip protocols. ROUTINE DRIVE GONE WRONG Constance Hoyt said the two longtime friends would regularly drive along Stud Mill, taking in the scenery, scouting fishing and hunting spots and stopping to eat at a nearby diner. “That’s what they usually do, they go up, they drive,” she said. “But there’s so many side roads off that road, they got on the wrong one.” At one point, they lost Stud Mill Road and attempted to circle back to it by heading further north. But without a GPS, Sidney Hoyt was unable to navigate and ended up driving deeper and deeper into the rural area. At several points during the drive, the men had to dig the car out after it became stuck in a snowbank, Constance Hoyt said. Ultimately, it slid off the road and became lodged in a ditch. Neither man had a cellphone, and the vehicle, a Honda Ridgeline, did not have a GPS or technology that could be used to track it externally, she said. “He didn’t plan ahead,” she said. “He’s not a spring chicken anymore. He can’t just go wandering off somewhere and not have a backup plan.” The warden service’s survival guide recommends that anyone venturing into the wilderness dress in warm layers and carry a cellphone to call 911 if they become lost. If it’s possible to signal one’s location using noise – whistling or gunshots – groups of three are understood to be distress signals. If someone becomes lost within about an hour of sunset, the warden service recommends using the remaining daylight to prepare for a night in the woods, rather than attempting to find help. The Maine Emergency Management Agency recommends drivers keep an emergency kit in their vehicle containing blankets, a first aid kit, brightly colored cloth to flag rescuers and extra cold-weather gear, among other items. The agency also recommends keeping sand or cat litter in the car to help get unstuck from ice and snow. Constance Hoyt said she and Sidney have been married for 55 years and together for around 57. She called the warden service to report the men missing Tuesday night. From now on, she plans to keep a closer eye on her husband’s location. “I like it better when he’s sitting on the couch,” she said, laughing softly. “I can see him.” Comments are not available on this story.

PRICE and ROB GILLIES NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s recent dinner with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his visit to Paris for the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral were not just exercises in policy and diplomacy. They were also prime trolling opportunities for Trump.

There were his belittling nicknames for political opponents, his impressions of other political figures and the plentiful memes he shared on social media. Now that’s he’s preparing to return to the Oval Office, Trump is back at it, and his trolling is attracting more attention — and eyerolls. On Sunday, Trump turned a photo of himself seated near a smiling first lady Jill Biden at the Notre Dame ceremony into a social media promo for his new perfume and cologne line, with the tag line, “A fragrance your enemies can’t resist!” The first lady’s office declined to comment. When Trudeau hastily flew to Florida to meet with Trump last month over the president-elect’s threat to impose a 25% tax on all Canadian products entering the U.S., the Republican tossed out the idea that Canada become the 51st U.S. state. The Canadians passed off the comment as a joke, but Trump has continued to play up the dig, including in a post Tuesday morning on his social media network referring to the prime minister as “Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada.” After decades as an entertainer and tabloid fixture, Trump has a flair for the provocative that is aimed at attracting attention and, in his most recent incarnation as a politician, mobilizing fans. He has long relished poking at his opponents, both to demean and minimize them and to delight supporters who share his irreverent comments and posts widely online and cheer for them in person. Trump, to the joy of his fans, first publicly needled Canada on his social media network a week ago when he posted an AI-generated image that showed him standing on a mountain with a Canadian flag next to him and the caption “Oh Canada!” After his latest post, Canadian Immigration Minister Marc Miller said Tuesday: “It sounds like we’re living in a episode of South Park.” Trudeau said earlier this week that when it comes to Trump, “his approach will often be to challenge people, to destabilize a negotiating partner, to offer uncertainty and even sometimes a bit of chaos into the well established hallways of democracies and institutions and one of the most important things for us to do is not to freak out, not to panic.” Even Thanksgiving dinner isn’t a trolling-free zone for Trump’s adversaries. On Thanksgiving Day, Trump posted a movie clip from “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” with President Joe Biden and other Democrats’ faces superimposed on the characters in a spoof of the turkey-carving scene. The video shows Trump appearing to explode out of the turkey in a swirl of purple sparks, with the former president stiffly dancing to one of his favorite songs, Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” In his most recent presidential campaign, Trump mocked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, refusing to call his GOP primary opponent by his real name and instead dubbing him “Ron DeSanctimonious.” He added, for good measure, in a post on his Truth Social network: “I will never call Ron DeSanctimonious ‘Meatball’ Ron, as the Fake News is insisting I will.” As he campaigned against Biden, Trump taunted him in online posts and with comments and impressions at his rallies, deriding the president over his intellect, his walk, his golf game and even his beach body. After Vice President Kamala Harris took over Biden’s spot as the Democratic nominee, Trump repeatedly suggested she never worked at McDonalds while in college. Trump, true to form, turned his mocking into a spectacle by appearing at a Pennsylvania McDonalds in October, when he manned the fries station and held an impromptu news conference from the restaurant drive-thru. Trump’s team thinks people should get a sense of humor. “President Trump is a master at messaging and he’s always relatable to the average person, whereas many media members take themselves too seriously and have no concept of anything else other than suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome,” said Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director. “President Trump will Make America Great Again and we are getting back to a sense of optimism after a tumultuous four years.” Though both the Biden and Harris campaigns created and shared memes and launched other stunts to respond to Trump’s taunts, so far America’s neighbors to the north are not taking the bait. “I don’t think we should necessarily look on Truth Social for public policy,” Miller said. Gerald Butts, a former top adviser to Trudeau and a close friend, said Trump brought up the 51st state line to Trudeau repeatedly during Trump’s first term in office. “Oh God,” Butts said Tuesday, “At least a half dozen times.” “This is who he is and what he does. He’s trying to destabilize everybody and make people anxious,” Butts said. “He’s trying to get people on the defensive and anxious and therefore willing to do things they wouldn’t otherwise entertain if they had their wits about them. I don’t know why anybody is surprised by it.” Gillies reported from Toronto.

Recommended Videos Bronwin Aurora, 22, shared a clip to TikTok back in October giving her elderly lover a little peck on the cheek before dancing in the room as he receives treatment, and has received more than 125,000 views. However, the video made its way to the social media account of Libs of TikTok this week, where it has been viewed more than 1.2 million times over two days. This is what tiktok does to people pic.twitter.com/zRhIvCELYT And the reaction to the video was swift online. “If any of this family sees this, they need to immediately take her off the will and rebuke her in front of everyone publicly during the reading of the will,” one person replied. “Hopefully the guy had enough energy left to reach the phone and ring up his estate attorney after witnessing this trash,” another commented. In more recent updates, the man — usually seen using a cane — appears healthy again as a video shared in late November shows him watching her dance outside in a post tagged #agegapcouple and #agegaprelationship. Aurora has explained that they love each other and age is of no concern. “I love him for who he is as a person, and he loves me for who I am as a person ... obviously,” she has said. RECOMMENDED VIDEO In another video posted to her Instagram account, a man off camera asks the man how he feels about her being “all over the internet.” “I wish she would let me have videos,” he replied. Aurora, who has more than 1 million followers on Instagram and over 500,000 on TikTok, said she would think about making a video with him. “Should we make a video?” she asked. A post shared by @bronwinaurora People in the comments were critical of her apparent relationship with the elderly man. “This is absolutely disgusting — financial abuse is just as much a crime as any other abuse toward our elders,” one person wrote. Another called it a publicity stunt by the model. “No one cares for your pathetic publicity stunts to try and sell your content.”

Half of Americans Say It's Not Ok To Cheer Ceo's Death: Poll

Reports suggest that Prince William has occasionally avoided spending time with the Middleton family, particularly during their famous game nights, citing an unexpected reason—he finds the atmosphere too competitive. Despite cherishing his relationship with his in-laws, the Prince of Wales has reportedly made excuses to skip these events. Royals and Their Love for Competition Competition is deeply ingrained in royal tradition. According to royal author Christopher Andersen, “Competition runs in the royal blood. No one enjoyed a spirited contest more than the late Queen Elizabeth II, whether cheering on her horse at Ascot or watching a tug of war at the Highland Games.” He added, “Prince Philip was a world champion four-in-hand carriage driver, Princess Anne competed in equestrian events at the Olympics, and King Charles was so passionate about polo that he suffered countless injuries playing.” The Middletons Take It to Another Level However, the Middleton family’s approach to competitiveness reportedly surpasses even the royals. Andersen explained, “The royals look like pikers compared to the Middletons, who taught Kate that winning was pretty much everything.” As a result, the intense nature of the games has led William to find ways to avoid participating. Andersen noted, “William and Kate’s card games are so heated and all-consuming that William makes excuses to avoid being sucked in.” James Middleton Confirms the Family’s Competitive Spirit Kate’s brother, James Middleton, confirmed the family’s love for games during an appearance on The Dog podcast. Host Emily Dean commented, “The Middletons are quite competitive and they love a game, don’t they? And then you made poor William play, and he found it too competitive and actually used to make excuses.” James responded, “It was after family dinner, we would be sat there, and the cards would come out, and [William would] perhaps see if Ella needed a walk or make an excuse to get down from the table. Racing Demon is probably the most fast-paced, competitive one that we all play together.” William Embraces Other Contests While he may avoid the Middletons’ game nights, William is no stranger to a good-natured competition. Away from his in-laws, he often participates in contests with Kate during public events, showcasing their shared love for competitive activities.
