Statistics are raw meat to political junkies like me. It’s time to take a deep dive into the results of Marin County’s vote for president. Voter registration statistics confirm that Marin is solidly in the Democrats’ camp. California’s secretary of state reports that of Marin’s 172,385 registered voters, 61.36% are Democrats, 12.67% Republican and 18.88% are, like me, registered as “no party preference.” Of the 146,707 Marin ballots cast, 89% were by mail. In November’s presidential election there were significant distinctions between Marin’s 11 municipalities and neighborhoods in unincorporated areas. Overall, Marinites cast 80.6% of their ballots for the ticket of Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz and 16.7% voted for President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance. Jill Stein and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. each achieved 1%. The city with the highest percentage of Harris voters was Mill Valley, where 90.4% voted for Harris and 9.6% for Trump. Fairfax was just behind, with Harris capturing 90.2%. Here are other town-by-town results for Harris (in declining order): San Anselmo 89%, Sausalito 85.3%, Corte Madera 85.1%, Larkspur 84.3%, San Rafael 83.2%, Ross, 80.4%, Tiburon 79.6%, Belvedere 75.6% and Novato 75.5%. In unincorporated areas, Harris had 83.7% Trump’s best showing was in Novato, where he garnered 24.5% of the vote. Belvedere was second with 24.4%. Here is Trump’s share elsewhere (in declining order): Tiburon 20.4%, Ross, 19.6%, San Rafael 16.8%, unincorporated neighborhoods 16.3%, Larkspur 15.7%, Corte Madera 14.9%, Sausalito 14.7%, San Anselmo 11%, Fairfax 9.8% and Mill Valley 9.6%. The returns from unincorporated Marin City’s Precinct 31220 showed a relatively low voter turnout. Only 70.4% of its voters participated. Compare that to a countywide average of 85%. In that precinct, Harris scored 892 votes for 77%. Trump came in with 214 votes for 17.7%. The GOP ticket did better in Marin City than in San Rafael or adjacent Sausalito. Mill Valley is rivaling Fairfax, long considered Marin’s most progressive town, for the title of the strongest Democratic municipality. Of course, there’s a big difference between “progressive” Democrats and traditional “liberals,” as election results showed (even in Fairfax). That’s typically the real political divide in booming suburbs like Marin and in big cities where Republicans fail to offer center-right candidates appealing to those voters. Today, political allegiance is about demographics. How one party identifies in the cultural wars is usually more electorally persuasive than their stand on economic policy. Voters’ opinions on cultural issues are often related to their income and education. Prosperous, well-educated, less religious locales now tend to identify with the Democrats’ stand on cultural topics. Those with a blue-collar, agribusiness and fundamental Christian identity find commonality with positions advocated by Republicans. Nationwide, Harris and Walz did far better in prosperous counties like Marin than in faded midwestern manufacturing hubs, which were longtime Democratic strongholds. Historically, Marin’s most Republican towns were the wealthiest. Until recently. Ross, Belvedere and Tiburon voted heavily for Republicans. They also carried Novato when it was still semi-rural. According to the 2020 Census, California contains three of the most prosperous counties in America, with Marin coming in at No. 8. Belvedere and Ross are among the Golden State’s top-10 communities with the highest average income. Trump did well there relative to Marin’s other towns, but Harris still overwhelmed him in Belvedere and Ross. Twenty years ago, political observers would have considered that preposterous. Nationally, Democrats have much to do to catch up to surging Republicans. Conversely, with 40 million Californians, the tables are turned. It’s the GOP that must learn how it can return to political relevance. Novato resident Zach Griggy, a student at the University of California, Berkeley Law School, is a statistical whiz. I want to thank him for his assistance in collecting this data. We were unable to get an accurate count for the heavily Latino-influenced Canal neighborhood in San Rafael, as its Precinct 40918 includes the nearby neighborhoods of Spinnaker Point, Baypoint and parts of Bret Harte.

Luke Littler struggled to hit top form but still did enough to ease into the last 16 of the world championship with a 4-1 win over Ian White at Alexandra Palace. The 17-year-old survived a series of errant doubles and had set darts against him in the first and fourth sets before finding his range when it mattered to sink his veteran opponent. Littler, who averaged just under 98 for the match, told Sky Sports: “It was tough, Ian threw everything at me and I had to stay switched on. It was just a case of settling into it. I know what’s gone wrong tonight – the doubles – but most importantly, I’ve won.” The No 4 seed almost suffered an early shock when White missed a dart for the first set, before more uncharacteristically loose doubles let the 54-year-old level the match at 1-1. Littler looked to have stirred when he rounded off a much more impressive third set with a finish on the bull. But he handed White another set dart in the fourth, before crucially snatching the set and moving on to complete his victory. Littler will face Ryan Joyce in the last 16 after he edged a nailbiting 4-3 win over Ryan Searle in the final match of the afternoon session. At 3-2 down in the deciding set, Searle missed a single 20 to set up a dart at tops that would have tied the set at 3-3, and Joyce duly finished the job to earn his place in the fourth round for the first time since 2019. The three-time champion Michael van Gerwen said he has plenty more to give after chiselling out a 4-2 win over last year’s quarter-finalist Brendan Dolan. Van Gerwen, who is chasing his first world title since 2019, charged through eight consecutive legs to seize control of the match at 3-1 but somewhat fell over the line after dropping a scrappy fifth set to the dogged Northern Irishman. “It was a really difficult game,” Van Gerwen told Sky Sports. “Everyone knows Brendan doesn’t give up, and I tried to punish him at the right moments and wasn’t capable of doing that. After 1-1, I think I played some really good sets but I let it slip away with a few things. There’s still a lot of work to do, but I know I’m capable of doing it.” Chris Dobey twice came from behind to beat Josh Rock 4-2 and move one win away from his third consecutive world quarter-final. Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend’s action after newsletter promotion In the afternoon session, Nathan Aspinall fired a warning to his rivals after booking his place in the last 16 with a 4-0 win over Andrew Gilding. The 33-year-old did not have to be on his best form to beat his below-par opponent. Aspinall, a semi-finalist in 2019 and 2020, believes an evident improvement in one of the weaker parts of his game augurs well for the sterner tests that will face him in the later stages. “Normally I’m really bad at finishing, that’s why I lose,” Aspinall told Sky Sports. “But in the last two games I’ve scored very well. I don’t care about averages and numbers – I’m in the last 16. In the last six months I’ve been very flat when I’m playing and I’ve made a conscious effort to get that fire lit in my stomach. If I get the scoring going with that finishing, I’m tough to beat.” Aspinall will face Ricardo Pietreczko in the fourth round after the German brushed aside Scott Williams 4-1, wrapping up his victory with an impressive 121 checkout.

Robert Lewandowski has become just the third player to score 100 goals in the European Cup/ Champions League , after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi . It is, clearly, a hugely impressive achievement and one that puts the Pole in the most esteemed company imaginable. Lewandowski scored his first goal in the competition as a 23-year-old in October 2011, for Borussia Dortmund against Olympiacos, and, now aged 36, reached 101 with his brace against Brest on Tuesday for Barcelona. Advertisement Which club has the former Bayern Munich striker scored against the most often in the Champions League? How many of his goals have come in the knockout phase? Who has provided the most assists for him? And has he got to three figures in fewer games than it took either Ronaldo or Messi? The Athletic answers all those questions and more in a detailed breakdown of Lewandowski’s century of Champions League goals. Firstly, here are the 10 top goalscorers in the competition’s history: Of these men, only Alfredo Di Stefano (0.84) has a better goals-per-game rate than Lewandowski’s 0.81. This means the Polish striker has the best scoring rate in the competition among the eight players to have scored 50 times or more in it. Lewandowski has played for three clubs in the Champions League, first appearing in the competition for Dortmund in September 2011. He debuted in it for Bayern in September 2014 and for Barcelona in September 2022. The only time he has won the competition was with Bayern, in 2019-20. He lost in the final as a Dortmund player, to Bayern, in 2012-13. Here is the number of goals Lewandowski has scored in the Champions League for each of his clubs. He is one of just two players in the history of the European Cup/Champions League — a tournament which started in 1955 and was rebranded with the latter name in 1992 — to score 10+ goals in it for three different clubs. The other is Ronaldo, who got 21 for Manchester United , 105 in a Real Madrid shirt and 14 with Juventus . Only three players have scored more goals in the competition for a single club than the 69 Lewandowski registered for Bayern. He has scored against 37 teams in the competition, with those sides coming from 17 countries. Four of Lewandowski’s seven goals against Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade) came in one game in November 2019 for Bayern; a feat he also achieved during his time at Dortmund when, at the age of 24, he stunned Jose Mourinho’s Madrid in a semi-final first leg in April 2013. As a result, he is one of just five players to score four goals in two different games in the European Cup/Champions League. The other four are: Di Stefano, for Madrid against both Sevilla in January 1958 and Wiener Sport-Club in March 1959, Ferenc Puskas, also for Madrid against both Eintracht Frankfurt in May 1960 and Feyenoord in September 1965, Marco van Basten, for Milan against both Levski Sofia in October 1988 and IFK Gothenburg in November 1992 and Messi, for Barcelona against both Arsenal in April 2010 and Bayer Leverkusen in March 2012 (a night when he scored five times). Advertisement The six clubs Lewandowski has played in the Champions League but never scored against are Sevilla, Liverpool, CSKA Moscow (all two games) and Monaco, Celtic and Lokomotiv Moscow (all one game). The most Champions League goals he has scored in a season is the 15 he netted in 2019-20 — one in which Bayern won the treble, as they also took the Bundesliga title and the DFB-Pokal, Germany’s equivalent of the FA Cup in England. He was, unsurprisingly, the top scorer in the competition that season — that is the only time he has achieved this honour. Lewandowski scored in every Champions League game he played in during that campaign, except the final. Only Ronaldo (17 in 2013-14 and 16 in 2015-16) has scored more than 15 times in a season in the history of the European Cup/Champions League, though Bayern had two fewer fixtures than was usual for the competition’s winners in 2019-20 because the pandemic led to the quarter-finals and semi-finals being reduced to single-leg ties. Here is the full breakdown of Lewandowski’s goals by season: As you can see, he has scored 13 goals or more in a season twice. Ronaldo is the only other player in the European Cup/Champions League to have done it more than once. Here is every instance of a player scoring 13 goals or more in a season in the competition. Lewandowski’s 13 goals in 2021-22, when Bayern were knocked out in the quarter-finals, is the only instance on the above list of a player representing a team who didn’t reach at least the semis. He has scored in 14 consecutive Champions League campaigns, which is comfortably the longest ongoing scoring run by season in the competition. The next graphic shows every player to have netted in at least each of the competition’s past five seasons: It is worth comparing Lewandowski’s record in the competition with those of the two other players to reach the century mark — Ronaldo and Messi. Firstly, this is how their respective roads to 100 Champions League goals measure up. (If you click/press/hover over the lines, each player’s total games and goals at that point will appear.) The Poland captain has reached three figures in just two more games than it took Messi (Lewandowski: 125; Messi: 123) and he has got there an impressive 12 matches faster than Ronaldo did (137). The Portuguese superstar, remarkably, took 27 games to score his first goal in the competition. Ronaldo scored his 100th Champions League goal, at the age of 32, in April 2017 for Madrid against Bayern and Messi reached his century, aged 30, in March of the following year for Barcelona against Chelsea . Lewandowski, who has reached three figures in the competition at 36, scored for Bayern in that match seven and a half years ago where Ronaldo got to 100. Advertisement As mentioned at the start of the article, Lewandowski’s goals-per-game figure in the Champions League is 0.81 — which is marginally superior to both Ronaldo’s (0.77) and Messi’s (0.79). He is the only one of the three still playing in the competition, though, so his rate of scoring will continue to fluctuate while he does so. Lewandowski is also the only one of the trio to have scored more Champions League goals after turning 30 than before reaching that age. Lewandowski’s 56 goals in his thirties have come in just 53 games, while Ronaldo’s 68 were scored in 74 matches. Messi’s 35 goals after turning 30 came in 48 appearances. Ronaldo scored his last Champions League goal in November 2021 and Messi’s was the following October. This is how Lewandowski’s 101 goals break down by round of the competition. Unlike Ronaldo (four goals) and Messi (two), he has never scored in the Champions League final (in his two appearances): Four of his seven semi-final goals came in the space of 58 minutes against Madrid at Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park in 2013. Overall, 32 of his 101 have come in the knockout rounds. Breaking his Champions League games down into 15-minute segments, the period where Lewandowski has scored most often is between the 76th and 90th minutes. Though, as you can see from the graphic below, the timing of his goals in the competition is very evenly spread across the matches. The earliest goal came after four minutes for Dortmund against Marseille in the group stage in December 2013 and the latest is the 92nd-minute goal he scored for Barcelona on Tuesday against Brest. Next, we have a breakdown of Lewandowski’s goals by body part. The one credited to his back was scored for Bayern against Manchester City in November 2014, when he stooped for a header and connected with the ball just below his neck before it bounced into the net. None of his 17 Champions League goals for Dortmund were headers but his first goal in the competition after moving to Bayern was one. Since leaving Dortmund, he’s used his head to score 19 of his 84 Champions League goals. Of the 101 goals, 97 of them have come from inside the box — a figure which includes 17 penalties. He has only missed from the spot once in the competition, for Bayern against Benfica in November 2021 when Odysseas Vlachodimos guessed the right way to save after Lewandowski’s stuttering run-up. He got a hat-trick in that match, so that penalty save denied him the outright record in the European Cup/Champions League of scoring four goals or more in a single game the most times (he, Di Stefano, Puskas, Van Basten and Messi have all done it twice). GO DEEPER Robert Lewandowski: My Game In My Words Lewandowski has scored one free kick in the Champions League — a curling effort against Atletico Madrid for Bayern in December 2016 that proved the only goal of the game. Here are the 39 players to have provided an assist for Lewandowski in the competition. Thomas Muller (a team-mate at Bayern) and Mario Gotze (a colleague at both Dortmund and Bayern) are the only men to have set him up more than three times. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer’s assist was a punt up the pitch which Lewandowski capitalised on to complete that hat-trick against Benfica in November 2021. That Benfica match saw the fourth of Lewandowski’s six hat-tricks in the Champions League. Only Ronaldo and Messi (both eight) have scored more of them in the competition. But Lewandowski is the only player to score a hat-trick in the Champions League with three different clubs. The Barcelona forward is now 28 goals behind second-placed Messi on the all-time list of top scorers in the competition. Having turned 36 in August it is unlikely, but by no means impossible, that he will catch the Argentinian. Lewandowski will be helped by the fact the new, expanded format of the Champions League provides more games each season for him to score in. It is highly improbable, however, that he will surpass Ronaldo’s mammoth total of 140. GO DEEPER Robert Lewandowski interview: 'Noisy' Barcelona, 'fearless' youngsters and making an impact in Messi-Ronaldo era Who, if anyone, will be the next player to join the competition’s 100 Club? Muller (54 goals), Kylian Mbappe (49), Erling Haaland (46) and Mohamed Salah (45) are the only other men playing in the Champions League this season to have scored more than 40 times in it. Muller, who is 35, and the 32-year-old Salah are already at ages that mean they probably won’t even get close to three figures, but Madrid’s Mbappe (25) and Manchester City’s Haaland (24) will be confident of getting there — and maybe even of eventually overhauling Ronaldo. If they do get to 100 Champions League goals, they will be in very good, and highly exclusive, company.

McCarthy said Overshown has a “long road of rehab in front of him.” The second-year player tore multiple ligaments when a Bengals lineman crashed into his leg in the Cowboys' 27-20 loss Monday night. Overshown missed all of his rookie year in 2023 after tearing the ACL in his left knee in a preseason game. The latest injury came in his first game since a spectacular 23-yard interception return for a touchdown in a 27-20 victory over the New York Giants on Thanksgiving. “DeMarvion is getting ready to have a big surgery in front of him,” McCarthy said of the procedure planned this week. “His physical and football talent speaks for itself. He’s such a bright light. He’s got a great, infectious personality — a tough young man. He is definitely going to be missed.” The former Texas standout, drafted in the third round last year, was second on the team to star pass rusher Micah Parsons with five sacks when he went down. The December timing of Overshown's injury means rehab is likely to extend past training camp and into the regular season next year, after he turns 25. Parsons was emotional when asked about Overshown after the Cincinnati game. “I cried,” he said. “It’s like my little bro, bro. He doesn’t deserve that either. Just to understand what he’s going to go through and to be there for him physically, mentally. It’s just so challenging because of the year he was having. I really just don’t think that’s fair either.” The loss of Overshown comes with defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence close to return from a foot injury that has sidelined him since Week 4. But the Cowboys (5-8) are all but out of the playoffs as they prepare to visit Carolina (3-10) on Sunday. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

US auto giant General Motors announced Tuesday it will abandon its robotaxi development efforts after a highly publicized incident last year stymied its progress in the autonomous vehicle field. The Detroit-based manufacturer plans to merge the Cruise robotaxi vehicle unit with GM's technical teams to concentrate on developing advanced driver assistance systems for personal vehicles, a statement said. The company said it abandoned the Cruise project "given the considerable time and resources that would be needed to scale the business, along with an increasingly competitive robotaxi market." It marks a major turnaround for GM, which bought the Cruise startup in 2016 and has since spent billions of dollars to make the operation viable. "A robotaxi business is not General Motors' core business," said GM CEO Mary Barra in a call with analysts. But Barra said GM's commitment to autonomous technology "is unwavering." The halt of operations comes a year after Cruise was forced to suspend all operations in San Francisco after one of its self-driving cars dragged a woman who had first been hit by a hit-and-run driver in the city. Cruise lost its operating permits from regulators, paused expansions into other states and laid off 900 employees -- a quarter of its workforce. Shortly before the incident, California authorities had allowed for expanded driverless taxi services in San Francisco, giving the go-ahead for Alphabet-owned Waymo and Cruise. Cruise's exit confirms Waymo as the dominant player in the business, which was valued at $45 billion after a fundraising round in October, according to Bloomberg. The company has been expanding its reach and currently runs robotaxi fleets in San Francisco, Phoenix and Los Angeles. And in a team-up with Uber, the company is planning to offer Waymo robotaxi rides in Atlanta and Austin. Amazon's Zoox meanwhile is conducting robotaxi testing in California and Las Vegas, while Elon Musk recently unveiled what he said was a robotaxi capable of self-driving, predicting it would be available by 2027. GM's strategic pivot comes as embattled automakers worldwide face mounting pressure to balance investments in emerging technologies with near-term profitability. The auto giant said that the restructuring is expected to generate annual savings exceeding $1 billion once completed in the first half of 2025.
