UConn head coach Dan Hurley insists he's not overvaluing Wednesday night's game between his 25th-ranked Huskies and No. 15 Baylor in Storrs, Conn. Sure, it comes on the heels of the two-time reigning national champion Huskies (5-3) responding to losing all three games during the Maui Invitational with a blowout victory over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday.

More info Leighton Clarkson has insisted Stiliyan Petrov and the former Celtic stars who are writing Aberdeen off are wasting their breath. The Bulgarian is amongst a number of former Hoops players who have dismissed the Dons' title credentials - even though they are unbeaten in the league and sit joint top of the Premiership. Petrov came out earlier this weekend and claimed that the Dons are not a threat to his former side. Clarkson insisted that nobody within Jimmy Thelin ’s squad is even discussing possible title bids or even listening to any of the outside noise from those of a Celtic persuasion or elsewhere for that matter. The midfielder said: “You could see it as a compliment, it’s one of them. But at the same time we don’t think about any of that or listen, to be honest. We have to go to St Mirren and beat them because if we lose three on the bounce, those conversations wouldn’t be happening any more. So for us it’s a case of trying to stay consistent, pick up as many points as we can and further down the line we’ll see where we are.” Aberdeen have still to taste defeat in the league under Thelin although their unbeaten Premiership run goes back to the end of March last season. The former Liverpool youngster admitted Aberdeen is now a team who go into every game believing. He insisted: “Does it feel like we’ve been unbeaten for as long as we have? No, it doesn’t really. “After that last loss (at Dundee) there were a lot of harsh words spoken, we took it on board and the reality of it all kicked in. After that we kicked on, started showing what we are as footballers and have taken it on this season too. It’s mental thinking back to that. “This last six or seven months everyone is loving it. The confidence is high. In the past couple of seasons we’d have been going to St Mirren thinking ‘this is going to be a sticky game’ and it still is. “But we’re going into it knowing the way we want to play, knowing the squad we’ve got. We feel we’re going down there in full force.” Clarkson will be up against a familiar face in Killian Phillips. The Irishman had a loan spell at Pittodrie last season but has now signed for St Mirren. His former teammate insisted: “Killian is a great lad who everyone liked when he was here. “He’s a great player too, he’s got size and energy so it’s going to be a great battle. We still keep in touch a little bit, I spoke to him a couple of months ago and before that when he signed for St Mirren. “He came here on loan in January, which is always tough and played quite a few games. We all thought he did really well for us in what was a difficult time for the team. It will be nice to see him - but hopefully after the game when we’ve won!” Aberdeen also welcome back Dante Polvara for the first time under Thelin. The American midfielder is now over the hamstring tear he suffered in pre-season. He has made the trip to Paisley with the Dons squad, although Angus MacDonald and Pape Habib Gueye miss out through injury. Thelin said: “I can't remember exactly how many weeks he was in training before he got injured. “So, I didn't see him so much, but he started well in the training camp and also, his last part of last season, he did really well. So, it's good to have this quality. “He also has different characteristics than the other players. So, I think he's a good weapon for us to use in different positions on the pitch when we can.” Tune in to Hotline Live every Sunday to Thursday and have your say on the biggest issues in Scottish football.jilibet super ace 。

ITV's I'm A Celeb's Coleen Rooney exposes co-stars' lies as fans say 'Wagatha is back'

Judge dismisses charges against Karen Read supporter who scattered rubber ducks and fake $100 billsNew York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) are under mounting pressure to suspend the city and state’s sanctuary policy that shields criminal illegal aliens from deportation. Since President-Elect Donald Trump’s victory last month, Adams and Hochul have both voiced support for aiding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents with deporting criminal illegal aliens from New York — one of the nation’s largest sanctuary states. “Someone breaks the law, I’ll be the first one to call up ICE and say, ‘Get them out of here,'” Hochul said during a press conference last month. Democrats and Republicans on the New York City Council are now urging Hochul to back up her words and suspend the state’s sanctuary law that bans local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE agents. “The recent surge in violent crime, including incidents involving migrant gangs in Central Park and Queens parks — where they have been reported to be raping, robbing, assaulting, and even shooting at police officers — demands immediate and decisive action,” the coalition of councilmembers write to Hochul: We urge you to consider issuing an executive order under the emergency powers granted to your office that would allow New York City to temporarily waive its sanctuary city laws. This would enable federal agencies, including ICE, to work more effectively with local law enforcement to address these grave threats. During the COVID-19 pandemic, your office and that of your predecessor utilized executive orders to respond swiftly to the crisis. We believe that the current situation, with its potential for terror-related activities and the escalating violence in the city, warrants a similar response. [Emphasis added] The letter was led by Robert Holden (D-Queens) and signed by Joseph Borelli (R-Staten Island), Inna Vernikov (R-Brooklyn), David Carr (R-Staten Island), Kalman Yeger (R-Brooklyn), Joann Ariola (R-Queens), Vickie Paladino (R-Queens), Kristy Marmorato (R-Bronx), and Susan Zhuang (D-Brooklyn). Similarly, Holden sent a letter to Adams pressing him to begin lobbying in opposition to New York City’s sanctuary policy. In particular, Holden said Adams should start by reopening the shuttered ICE office at Rikers Island. “Tough talk is good, but actions speak louder,” Holden said: The mayor had the chance to amend or repeal sanctuary city laws through his Charter Revision Commission but chose not to. Now, it’s time to right these wrongs. To truly show commitment to public safety, Mayor Adams should reopen the ICE office at Rikers Island and give the NYPD, Department of Corrections, and Department of Probation the ability to communicate with ICE and honor detainers for criminal migrants. [Emphasis added] Former Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) had the ICE office at Rikers Island closed in 2015. This week, Adams blasted President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for their releasing millions of migrants into the United States — hundreds of thousands of whom have ended up in New York City. “We didn’t invest in seniors the way we should have and young people ... the crimes that we witnessed ... we all should be angry about what happened to this city under this administration,” Adams said. Adams said he wants to work with Trump and incoming border czar Thomas Homan to help deport criminal illegal aliens from New York City. “Those who are here committing crimes, robberies, shooting at police officers, raping innocent people, have been a harm to our country. I want to sit down and hear the plan on how we’re going to address them,” Adams said. “Those are the people I am talking about. I would love to sit down with the border czar and hear his thoughts on how we’re going to address those who are harming our citizens.” John Binder is a reporter for Breitbart News.

NEW YORK (AP) — What a wonderful year 2024 has been for investors. U.S. stocks ripped higher and carried the S&P 500 to records as the economy kept growing and the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The year featured many familiar winners, such as Big Tech, which got even bigger as their stock prices kept growing. But it wasn’t just Apple, Nvidia and the like. Bitcoin, gold and other investments also drove higher. Here’s a look at some of the numbers that defined the year. All are as of Dec. 20. 1998 Remember when President Bill Clinton got impeached or when baseball’s Mark McGwire hit his 70th home run against the Montreal Expos? That was the last time the U.S. stock market closed out a second straight year with a leap of at least 20%, something the S&P 500 is on track to do again this year. The index has climbed 24.3% so far this year, not including dividends, following last year’s spurt of 24.2%. 57 The number of all-time highs the S&P 500 has set so far this year. The first came early, on Jan. 19, when the index capped a two-year comeback from the swoon caused by high inflation and worries that high interest rates instituted by the Federal Reserve to combat it would create a recession. But the index was methodical through the rest of the year, setting a record in every month outside of April and August, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. The latest came on Dec. 6. The number of times the Federal Reserve has cut its main interest rate this year from a two-decade high, offering some relief to the economy. Expectations for those cuts, along with hopes for more in 2025, were a big reason the U.S. stock market has been so successful this year. The 1 percentage point of cuts, though, is still short of the 1.5 percentage points that many traders were forecasting for 2024 at the start of the year. The Fed disappointed investors in December when it said it may cut rates just two more times in 2025, fewer than it had earlier expected. 1,508 That’s how many points the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by the day after Election Day, as investors made bets on what Donald Trump’s return to the White House will mean for the economy and the world. The more widely followed S&P 500 soared 2.5% for its best day in nearly two years. Aside from bitcoin, stocks of banks and smaller winners were also perceived to be big winners. The bump has since diminished amid worries that Trump’s policies could also send inflation higher. $100,000 The level that bitcoin topped to set a record above $108,000 this past month. It’s been climbing as interest rates come down, and it got a particularly big boost following Trump’s election. He’s turned around and become a fan of crypto, and he’s named a former regulator who’s seen as friendly to digital currencies as the next chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, replacing someone who critics said was overly aggressive in his oversight. Bitcoin was below $17,000 just two years ago following the collapse of crypto exchange FTX. 26.7% Gold’s rise for the year, as it also hit records and had as strong a run as U.S. stocks. Wars around the world have helped drive demand for investments seen as safe, such as gold. It’s also benefited from the Fed’s cut to interest rates. When bonds are paying less in interest, they pull away fewer potential buyers from gold, which pays investors nothing. $420 It’s a favorite number of Elon Musk, and it’s also a threshold that Tesla’s stock price passed in December as it set a record. The number has a long history among marijuana devotees, and Musk famously said in 2018 that he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share. Tesla soared this year, up from less than $250 at the start, in part because of expectations that Musk’s close relationship with Trump could benefit the company. $91.2 billion That’s how much revenue Nvidia made in the nine months through Oct. 27, showing how the artificial-intelligence frenzy is creating mountains of cash. Nvidia’s chips are driving much of the move into AI, and its revenue through the last nine months catapulted from less than $39 billion the year before. Such growth has boosted Nvidia’s worth to more than $3 trillion in total. 74% GameStop’s gain on May 13 after Keith Gill, better known as “Roaring Kitty,” appeared online for the first time in three years to support the video game retailer’s stock, which he helped rocket to unimaginable heights during the “ meme stock craze “ in 2021. Several other meme stocks also jumped following his post in May on the social platform X, including AMC Entertainment. Gill later disclosed a sizeable stake in the online pet products retailer Chewy, but he sold all of his holdings by late October. 1.6%, 3.0% and 3.1% That’s how much the U.S. economy grew, at annualized seasonally adjusted rates, in each of the three first quarters of this year. Such growth blew past what many pessimists were expecting when inflation was topping 9% in the summer of 2022. The fear was that the medicine prescribed by the Fed to beat high inflation — high interest rates — would create a recession. Households at the lower end of the income spectrum in particular are feeling pain now, as they contend with still-high prices. But the overall economy has remained remarkably resilient. 20.1% This is the vacancy rate for U.S. office buildings — an all-time high — through the first three quarters of 2024, according to data from Moody’s. The fact the rate held steady for most of the year was something of a win for office building owners, given that it had marched up steadily from 16.8% in the fourth quarter of 2019. Demand for office space weakened as the pandemic led to the popularization of remote work. 3.73 million That’s the total number of previously occupied homes sold nationally through the first 11 months of 2024. Sales would have to surge 20% year-over-year in December for 2024’s home sales to match the 4.09 million existing homes sold in 2023, a nearly 30-year low. The U.S. housing market has been in a sales slump dating back to 2022, when mortgage rates began to climb from pandemic-era lows. A shortage of homes for sale and elevated mortgage rates have discouraged many would-be homebuyers.
