Harry Kane hits 500 goals: chasing more records

Harry Kane became the first Englishman to reach 500 official goals in 743 appearances, after a brace for Bayern Munich against Werder Bremen. His goals span Leyton Orient, Leicester, Millwall, Tottenham, Bayern and England, with 213 Premier League goals and 78 for England; he has 48 Champions League goals, the most by an Englishman in European competition. Looking ahead, he could surpass Lewandowski’s Bundesliga single-season 41 and extend his own English Champions League record (eight goals this season, 11 last term). Ronaldo reached 500 in 753 games; Messi did it in 632.

Inspector General flags LAPD after lack of records on overseas training

An inspector general report finds the LAPD lacks a system to track overseas training, making it hard to gauge benefits. Since 2014, 243 officers attended 117 foreign training activities, including 18 officers who traveled to Israel on nine trips costing $87,000, plus other trainings in France, Italy and more; many trip summaries are brief or missing key details, and prior records were partially deleted. About 80% of travel is funded by outside sources, raising potential conflicts of interest. LAPD says it is creating a tracking system and may require post-training evaluations, while critics warn of opaque ties to foreign security forces.

Charlotte's Weekend Snowstorm Eyes a Top-10 Single-Day Snowfall

Charlotte's weekend snowstorm could rank among the city's top 10 single-day snowfall totals, with 6.1 inches recorded at the airport and forecasts of 8–9 inches overall. Officials note it likely won't crack the top five for overall snowstorms, but could push into the top 10 for 24-hour totals, a list already led by historic single-day surges such as 14.0 inches in 1902 and 12.1 inches in 1988. The event stands out against a decade that averaged just 1.7 inches of snow per season, and dangerously cold temperatures are expected to follow.
