NoneORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — In a season that began with many questions and lowered expectations , it was apt watching Bills quarterback Josh Allen join coach Sean McDermott lay on the cold, wet sideline to make snow angels in celebrating Buffalo’s earliest clinching of a division title in team history. That Allen took part was no surprise. The newly engaged 28-year-old has maintained the happy-go-lucky approach he brought with him to Buffalo as a raw-talented athlete in 2018, while gradually blossoming into one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks. For McDermott, it was a pleasant surprise to see the usually reserved eight-year coach finally let his hair down — figuratively, because the few jokes he does make are usually about being bald. With his latest do-it-all three-TD outing — one rushing, one receiving and, the coup de grace, being credited with receiving his own pass for a score off a lateral from Amari Cooper — in a 35-10 win over San Francisco on Sunday night , Allen continued making his strongest NFL MVP case. What’s also becoming apparent is how much McDermott deserves consideration for coach of the year honors. Without the two, the Bills (10-2) wouldn’t be in this position in becoming just the eighth NFL team — and first since Indianapolis in 2009 — to clinch a division title with at least five games remaining in their schedule. It’s reflective of how the two have grown together in what, on the outside, could be perceived as an odd couple relationship between an offensive-minded, swashbuckling quarterback and a defensive-minded coach, too often knocked for being too conservative. Perhaps, it’s Allen’s boyish nature that has brought out the risk-taker in McDermott, who has carried over the aggressive approach he takes to defense by placing trust in his quarterback. It’s become apparent in everything the Bills have accomplished so far in having at least 10 wins through 12 games for just the fifth time in team history, and first since 1991, when Buffalo was led by eventual Hall of Famers in coach Marv Levy and quarterback Jim Kelly. Buffalo has won seven straight since consecutive losses to Baltimore and Houston. And the Bills have scored 30 or more points in six straight outings, matching the team record set in 2004. Allen is doing more with less on an offense that was supposed to be hampered following the offseason departures of receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis and center Mitch Morse. The Bills are more balanced in leaning on their running attack, while Allen has also curtailed his turnover-prone ways. He's lost two fumbles and thrown just five interceptions after being picked off a career-worst 18 times last season. Meantime, McDermott has taken a different approach to fourth down situations. The Bills have converted 13 of 15 fourth down attempts after going 9 of 16 last season and 7 of 13 in 2022. The most fourth down attempts during McDermott’s tenure came in 2021, when Buffalo converted just 11 of 22. This is but an example of the bond the quarterback and coach have built in a shared objective of overcoming past playoff failures. Clinching a division title is but one step, with the Bills now focused on catching the Kansas City Chiefs (11-1), whom they’ve beaten already , for the AFC’s top seed. In calling it the team’s next goal, McDermott went off script from his usual game-at-a-time message by noting the importance of celebrating a division-clinching win, if only for one day. “Being 50 years old and 20-plus years in this league, I’ve learned to try and enjoy the moments,” McDermott said. “And this is a moment, right?” It certainly was. What’s working Turnover differential. Buffalo’s defense forced three fumbles, including one at its goal line, while the offense didn’t commit a giveaway. The Bills upped their league-leading turnover differential entering Monday to plus-17. What needs help Run defense. Though the conditions were snowy and slick, the Bills allowed 119 yards rushing in the first half before the 49ers were forced to start passing the ball once the score became lopsided. Buffalo particularly struggled in stopping Christian McCaffrey, who had 53 yards on seven carries before leaving the game with a potential season-ending knee injury . Stock up LB Matt Milano was in on five tackles while playing 37 of 48 defensive snaps in his first outing in nearly 14 months after being sidelined by a broken right leg and torn left biceps. Stock down CB Kaiir Elam, the 2022 first-round pick was a healthy inactive for a second straight outing, and still having difficulty finding a regular role. Injuries None reported. Key number 9-0 — The Bills' home record going back to last season, marking their second-longest run in team history. Next steps Hit the road for two outings, starting with a trip to face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Investor Warren Buffett renewed his Thanksgiving tradition of giving by handing out more than $1.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to four of his family's foundations Monday, and he offered new details about who will be handing out the rest of his fortune after his death. Buffett has said previously that his three kids will distribute his remaining $147.4 billion fortune in the 10 years after his death, but now he has also designated successors for them because it's possible that Buffett's children could die before giving it all away. He didn't identify the successors, but said his kids all know them and agree they would be good choices. “Father time always wins. But he can be fickle – indeed unfair and even cruel – sometimes ending life at birth or soon thereafter while, at other times, waiting a century or so before paying a visit,” the 94-year-old Buffett said in a letter to his fellow shareholders Monday. “To date, I’ve been very lucky, but, before long, he will get around to me. There is, however, a downside to my good fortune in avoiding his notice. The expected life span of my children has materially diminished since the 2006 pledge. They are now 71, 69 and 66.” Buffett said he still has no interest in creating dynastic wealth in his family — a view shared by his first and current wives. He acknowledged giving Howard, Peter and Susie millions over the years, but he has long said he believes “hugely wealthy parents should leave their children enough so they can do anything but not enough that they can do nothing.” The secret to building up such massive wealth over time has been the power of compounding interest and the steady growth of the Berkshire conglomerate Buffett leads through acquisitions and smart investments like buying billions of dollars of Apple shares as iPhone sales continued to drive growth in that company. Buffett never sold any of his Berkshire stock over the years and also resisted the trappings of wealth and never indulged in much — preferring instead to continue living in the same Omaha home he'd bought decades earlier and drive sensible luxury sedans about 20 blocks to work each day. “As a family, we have had everything we needed or simply liked, but we have not sought enjoyment from the fact that others craved what we had,” he said. If Buffett and his first wife had never given away any of their Berkshire shares, the family's fortune would be worth nearly $364 billion — easily making him the world's richest man — but Buffett said he had no regrets about his giving over the years. The family's giving began in earnest with the distribution of Susan Buffett's $3 billion estate after her death in 2004, but really took off when Warren Buffett announced plans in 2006 to make annual gifts to the foundations run by his kids along with the one he and his wife started, as well as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Warren Buffett's giving to date has favored the Gates Foundation with $55 billion in stock because his friend Bill Gates already had his foundation set up and could handle huge gifts when Buffett started giving away his fortune. But Buffett has said his kids now have enough experience in philanthropy to handle the task and he plans to cut off his Gates Foundation donations after his death. Buffett always makes his main annual gifts to all five foundations every summer, but for several years now he has been giving additional Berkshire shares to his family's foundations at Thanksgiving. Buffett reiterated Monday his advice to every parent to allow their families to read their will while they are still alive — like he has done — to make sure they have a chance to explain their decisions about how to distribute their belongings and answer their children's questions. Buffett said he and his longtime investing partner Charlie Munger, who died a year ago, “saw many families driven apart after the posthumous dictates of the will left beneficiaries confused and sometimes angry.” Today, Buffett continues to lead Berkshire Hathaway as chairman and CEO and has no plans to retire although he has handed over most of the day-to-day managing duties for the conglomerates dozens of companies to others. That allows him to focus on his favorite activity of deciding where to invest Berkshire's billions . One of Buffett's deputies who oversees all the noninsurance companies now, Greg Abel, is set to take over as CEO after Buffett's death. Even after converting 1,600 Class A shares into 2.4 million Class B Berkshire shares and giving them away, Buffett still owns 206,363 Class A shares and controls more than 30% of the vote.

The daughter of the late Bola Ige, Nigeria’s minister of Justice who was assassinated in 2001, Funsho Adegbola, has recounted the torturous circumstances which surrounded her father’s death in 2001. While speaking on a radio programme called State Affairs with Edmund Obilo, Adegbola said she dreamt she was mourning before her father was assassinated. She confided in him, but he reassured her, saying, “Nobody can kill me; my life is in God’s hands.” Adegbola recounted a warning a friend gave concerning her father. According to her, a friend who read an article in a national newspaper suggested that Ige might not return alive from one of his trips to Ile-Ife because of the mounting political threats and tensions at the time. She said, “I told him, ‘Daddy, it appears they will do something to you.’ He replied, ‘I am surrounded by the White Light of Christ through which nothing evil can penetrate.’” She added that her father’s death coincided with his conflicts with some politicians, including Iyiola Omisore, then Deputy Governor of Osun State, during the era of Governor Bisi Akande’s administration. She linked this threat with Ige’s assassination. READ ALSO : ‘The system’ killed Dele Giwa, Bola Ige – Onabule 23 years after his assassination, the perpetrators of the crime have not been brought to book. Ige’s wife, who was a Justice of the Court of Appeal, could not secure justice for him. Adegbola said this broke her mother and family. “It was a cruel irony that broke her spirit,” she said. Despite these painful memories, Adegbola holds on to her father’s memory as a politician who had integrity, was selfless and eschewed corruption. “As Minister of Power and Steel, he returned 16 official cars assigned to him, saying, ‘I can’t maintain more than two cars,’” said Adegbola. “After his assassination, Kema Chikwe visited our home and was shocked to see that our doors were ordinary wooden carpentry doors that were easily breakable. My father had no bulletproof doors or elaborate security, unlike many public officials.” Ige may be dead, but he continues to be a source of inspiration to others, says Adegbola. He said, “His values and principles continue to inspire those who remember him; his life serves as a powerful example of leadership, even as the pursuit of justice for his death remains an elusive goal.”

The large package of aid includes a significant amount of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the HAWK air defense system. It also will provide Stinger missiles and 155 mm- and 105 mm artillery rounds, officials said. The officials, who said they expect the announcement to be made on Monday, spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details not yet made public. The new aid comes as Russia has launched a barrage of attacks against Ukraine’s power facilities in recent days, although Ukraine has said it intercepted a significant number of the missiles and drones. Russian and Ukrainian forces are also still in a bitter battle around the Russian border region of Kursk, where Moscow has sent thousands of North Korean troops to help reclaim territory taken by Ukraine. Earlier this month, senior defense officials acknowledged that that the Defense Department may not be able to send all of the remaining $5.6 billion in Pentagon weapons and equipment stocks passed by Congress for Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in. Trump has talked about getting some type of negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia, and spoken about his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin . Many U.S. and European leaders are concerned that it might result in a poor deal for Ukraine and they worry that he won't provide Ukraine with all the weapons funding approved by Congress. The aid in the new package is in presidential drawdown authority, which allows the Pentagon to take weapons off the shelves and send them quickly to Ukraine. This latest assistance would reduce the remaining amount to about $4.35 billion. Officials have said they hope that an influx of aid will help strengthen Ukraine’s hand, should Zelenskyy decide it’s time to negotiate. One senior defense official said that while the U.S. will continue to provide weapons to Ukraine until Jan. 20, there may well be funds remaining that will be available for the incoming Trump administration to spend. According to the Pentagon, there is also about $1.2 billion remaining in longer-term funding through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which is used to pay for weapons contracts that would not be delivered for a year or more. Officials have said the administration anticipates releasing all of that money before the end of the calendar year. If the new package is included, the U.S. has provided more than $64 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February 2022.

The Mets cut three players from their 40-man roster Friday night, including outfielder Alex Ramirez, a former top prospect who didn’t develop the way they anticipated upon signing him to a $2.1 million bonus in 2019. Also dropped were relievers Alex Young and Grant Hartwig. All three became free agents. Additionally, the Mets agreed to a one-year contract with reliever Sean Reid-Foley, avoiding arbitration. Ramirez, who will still be just 22 years old in 2025, was regarded as a high-end defender in recent years. But he never quite learned to hit in the pro ranks, including at Double-A last season, when he had a .210 average and .590 OPS. With his prospect shine long since faded, the Mets decided to release him entirely instead of waiting another year to see if he would figure it out. Friday was the so-called nontender deadline, the point in the offseason at which teams needed to commit to offering contracts to arbitration-eligible and pre-arbitration players. Specific salaries for those players typically are decided on in January or February. The Mets tendered contracts to everybody else who fell into this category, including righthander Paul Blackburn, righthander Tylor Megill, lefthander David Peterson and outfielder Tyrone Taylor.

Pre-emptive Move India Cements was acquired in phases this year by UltraTech, as the Indian cement industry continues to see unprecedented consolidation. Incorporated in 2001, Star Cement is one of the most profitable companies in northeast India. UltraTech will pick up a non-controlling minority stake at ₹235 per share in a block deal from "some promoter and promoter group entities of Star Cement," it said in a regulatory filing. Its board of directors approved making an investment to acquire up to 37 million equity shares of Star Cement at a price not exceeding ₹235 per share, excluding STT, stamp duty and other levies, it added.

UltraTech's move to pick up a stake in the Meghalaya-based cement firm is perceived as a pre-emptive move to block Adani Cements from making a similar move. It could also be the first step to acquire the company as it happened with India Cements, industry experts said. In June, when UltraTech had acquired a 23% stake in India Cements from investor RK Damani, the company had said it was only a financial investment. But, within months, it took over the business from N Srinivasan and family. One of the largest cement brands in northeast India, Star Cement is seen as a takeover target for national players. It has a 7.7 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) grinding capacity, 6.1 mtpa clinker capacity, up from 2.8 mtpa in FY24, a dealer network of close to 2,000, and a retailer network of over 12,500. It is also expanding to West Bengal and Bihar. Cement companies in the Northeast enjoy 1.5-2 times Ebitda per tonne compared to pan-Indian peers, experts said. "Owing to logistical constraints/hilly terrain, the Northeast market has been enjoying better pricing (higher by ₹1,000-1,200 per tonne) and in turn, profitability as compared to other regions," said Krupal Maniar, cement analyst with Antique Stock Broking. "Star's Ebitda is likely to almost double to ₹1,000 crore over the next four years, given 120% rise in its clinker capacity." Shares of UltraTech ended 0.45% lower on Friday at ₹11,406.15 on the BSE while that of Star Cement closed at ₹232, up 0.98%. Star Cement had reported an overall turnover of ₹2,910 crore in 2023-24. It has seven plants and a total workforce of 4,200. It plans to achieve a manufacturing capacity of 25 mtpa by 2030, as per the company's website. According to an investor presentation shared post-September quarter, the company commands a 26.5% market share in the Northeast market. Premium sales account for 10.6% of overall sales. Its sales volumes have seen compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10% between FY19 and FY24 versus the industry average of 6%. The company has two upcoming units in the Silchar and Jorhat districts of Assam and has planned a capex of ₹380 crore for the second half of the current financial year.
