Kentucky will aim to improve upon its best start in seven seasons when it hosts Western Kentucky on Tuesday night in Lexington, Ky., in the final game of the BBN Invitational. The Wildcats (5-0) are ranked No. 8 in the latest Associated Press poll and are setting impressive offensive milestones even for a program as tradition-rich as Kentucky, which includes eight national championships. The Wildcats have scored 97 or more points in their first four home games for the first time in program history and eclipsed the 100-point mark in three of those games. Their lone trip out of state was a solid 77-72 victory over Duke in a matchup of top-10 teams in Atlanta. Kentucky has also made at least 10 three-pointers in each of its first five games of a season for the first time ever. "I think Kentucky attracts good people," Kentucky coach Mark Pope said after the Wildcats' 108-59 win over Jackson State on Friday. "It's the one place in all college basketball where you represent just a fanbase in a different, unique way." Otega Oweh and Koby Brea have led the Wildcats' early scoring outburst. Oweh, who is averaging 16.2 points per game, had 21 points on 8-for-12 shooting against Jackson State. "He gets us off to unbelievable starts every night," Pope told reporters after that game. "He's probably been our most consistent guy in games." Brea, who scored 22 points against Jackson State and is averaging 16.0 points per game, is leading the nation in 3-point accuracy at 74.1 percent. As a team, the Wildcats are shooting 42.3 percent from beyond the arc. And the few times they miss, Amari Williams has been doing the dirty work on the glass, averaging 10.8 boards in addition to 9.6 points per game. Kentucky faces a different challenge than it's had to contend with so far in the Hilltoppers (3-2), who have won three in a row after losing their first two games to Wichita State and Grand Canyon. Their up-tempo play hasn't exactly resulted in great offensive output, but in the Hilltoppers' 79-62 win over Jackson State on Wednesday, they shot 45.2 percent from 3-point range (14 for 31). "I was happy to see a lot of different guys contribute tonight and, hopefully, get their feet under them a little bit and get some confidence," said Western Kentucky coach Hank Plona, who is in his first season as head coach. "Obviously, Tuesday will be quite a test and challenge for us and we'll need them to be at their absolute best." Western Kentucky has an experienced group, which returned mostly intact from last season. The team is led by Conference USA first-team selection Don McHenry, who is leading the team with 17.2 points and 2.2 steals per game. McHenry is one of four Hilltoppers with scoring averages in double figures. Julius Thedford (11.4 points per game) and Babacar Faye (15.0) are each shooting 40 percent or better from 3-point range. Western Kentucky also figures to challenge the Wildcats on the boards as it enters the game ranked in the top 25 in defensive rebounding (30.4 per game). Faye leads the Hilltoppers in that department, averaging 7.8 rebounds per game and figures to battle Williams inside. "We're not the biggest team in the world, but our depth and our quickness are our strengths," Plona said. --Field Level MediaSANDY, Utah, Dec. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mountain America Credit Union announced its sponsorship of Thanksgiving Point’s newest attraction, the Mountain America Jurassic Jungle , a brand-new five-story indoor play space where prehistory meets adventure.

By Sinéad Carew and Nell Mackenzie NEW YORK/LONDON (Reuters) -MSCI’s global equities gauge rose and U.S. government bonds rallied while the dollar fell on Monday as investors welcomed the incoming U.S. president’s selection of fund manager Scott Bessent as the next U.S. Treasury secretary. Wall Street indexes closed higher with the S&P 500 and the Dow touching intraday records as investors approved of Donald Trump’s choice. Investors said they were hoping for tax cuts as well as fiscal caution from Bessent. U.S. Treasury yields fell sharply as bond investors bet on a more moderate than feared U.S. fiscal trajectory. In an interview published on Sunday, Bessent told the Wall Street Journal that both tax and spending cuts were priorities. And Bessent told CNBC earlier in November, before his selection as Treasury secretary, that he would recommend “tariffs be layered in gradually.” “Bessent understands a lot of different asset classes and is going to help Trump stay very sensitive to market reactions,” said Carol Schleif, chief investment officer, BMO family office noting that investors worried that other candidates for the job would take a hard stance on tariffs and spending and think less about the potential market reaction. “Markets are pretty self-centered. They want to make sure people are paying attention to them or they throw a tantrum.” The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 440.06 points, or 0.99%, to 44,736.57,which was a record closing high. The S&P 500 rose 18.03 points, or 0.30%, to 5,987.37 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 51.18 points, or 0.27%, to 19,054.84. MSCI’s gauge of stocks across the globe rose 3.84 points, or 0.45%, to 857.97 while Europe’s STOXX 600 index had closed up 0.06% earlier. The European index hit a two-week high during its trading session, boosted by the Bessent nomination and comments from the European Central Bank chief economist on monetary policy easing. In a trading week shortened by Thursday’s U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, key events will include the release of October Personal Consumption Expenditures, the latest GDP estimate and U.S. Federal Reserve minutes from its last meeting. Traders are hoping for a Fed rate cut next month, though bets have been dialled back in recent weeks. In Treasuries, the yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes fell 14.1 basis points to 4.269%, from 4.41% late on Friday while the 30-year bond yield fell 13.9 basis points to 4.4562%. The two-year note yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, fell 10.5 basis points to 4.264%, from 4.369% late on Friday. “He’s a Wall Street guy, he’s very good at what he does. He’s not an extremist to the left or right. He’s a sensible, smart businessman, and I think the market likes that, and he’s anti-deficit,” said Tony Farren, managing director at Mischler Financial Group, referring to Bessent. In currencies, the dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro, fell 0.56% to 106.89. The euro was up 0.74% against the dollar at $1.0494 while against the Japanese yen, the dollar weakened 0.37% to 154.16. The euro had fallen sharply this month on worries over Trump tariffs, deteriorating economic conditions and signs of an escalation in Russia/Ukraine war. Oil prices fell more than $2 per barrel after reports that Israel and Lebanon had agreed to the a deal to end the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, citing officials from Israel, Lebanon, the U.S. and France. U.S. crude futures settled down 3.23% or $2.30 at $68.94 per barrel and Brent finished at $73.01 per barrel, down 2.87% or $2.16 on the day. Bitcoin fell more than 2% to $94,811.03 after hitting a record of $99,830 on Friday as investors bet on a friendly regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies under Trump. Gold prices fell sharply, breaking a five-session rally, as reports of Israel nearing a ceasefire with Hezbollah, coupled with Trump’s Treasury secretary pick, tarnished demand for the safe-haven precious metal. Spot gold fell 3.14% to $2,627.27 an ounce. U.S. gold futures fell 2.56% to $2,640.40 an ounce.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday that he wants real estate developer Charles Kushner, father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, to serve as ambassador to France. Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post, calling Charles Kushner “a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker." Kushner is the founder of Kushner Companies, a real estate firm. Jared Kushner is a former White House senior adviser to Trump who is married to Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka. The elder Kushner was pardoned by Trump in December 2020 after pleading guilty years earlier to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations. Prosecutors alleged that after Charles Kushner discovered his brother-in-law was cooperating with federal authorities in an investigation, he hatched a scheme for revenge and intimidation. Kushner hired a prostitute to lure his brother-in-law, then arranged to have the encounter in a New Jersey motel room recorded with a hidden camera and the recording sent to Kushner's own sister, the man’s wife, prosecutors said. Kushner eventually pleaded guilty to 18 counts including tax evasion and witness tampering. He was sentenced in 2005 to two years in prison — the most he could receive under a plea deal, but less than what Chris Christie, the U.S. attorney for New Jersey at the time and later governor and Republican presidential candidate, sought. Christie blamed Jared Kushner for his firing from Trump’s transition team in 2016, and called Charles Kushner’s offenses “one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes that I prosecuted when I was U.S. attorney.” Trump and the elder Kushner knew each other from real estate circles and their children were married in 2009.Judge grants dismissal of election subversion case against Trump
When Finnish company ŌURA unveiled an agreement with medical device maker Dexcom ( as I reported earlier in the week ), it seemed a promising move, to allow the Oura Ring to get a more complete picture of a wearer’s health. Now, an industry heavyweight has chimed in, saying it means “Oura could take a small step toward making blood sugar monitoring mainstream.” The Oura Ring is a favorite gadget of mine. I wear one all the time. It monitors several health metrics and even warns me if it thinks I’m getting a cold or Covid. “With the new tie-up, Oura users will get glucose data from Dexcom’s devices and apps to get a more complete picture of their health,” according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in his latest Power On newsletter , adding, “Personally, I think this is a smart move by both companies. And I hope that Apple, Google, Samsung Electronics Co. and other fitness product makers speed up development of their own blood sugar tools.” I’ve talked to Apple about blood sugar measurements in the past, in relation to the Apple Watch and the response, that measuring it in a non-invasive way, tells me that the company is likely working on it, but that it’s not there yet. If you haven’t thought about tracking your blood sugar, Gurman makes an interesting point. He says that right now most people who track blood sugar probably do so because of a condition, “whether that’s diabetes, prediabetes or hypoglycemia. Compare that with people who monitor their heart rate on an Apple Watch or other fitness device. Far fewer of them have an actual heart condition.” I agree with this, and I also think that knowledge is power. The more you know about blood sugar levels the better, perhaps, to understand how your body responds to foods, to exercise and to sleep. “The data can also help people understand their so-called glucose curve, helping them avoid becoming at risk for diabetes over time,” Gurman says. One other comment from Gurman, and it’s something I really agree with: “Oura, meanwhile, deserves credit for what it’s done in the smart ring field. Its technology runs laps around the competition, and the company has created something so simple that it feels like an Apple product.”
Australia’s most decorated Olympic medallist Emma McKeon has announced her retirement from swimming. The 30-year-old entered Paris 2024 having already announced it would be her third and last Olympics, but had left the door open to continue competing. However, she has now shut that door, confirming the news in a statement on social media. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today McKeon bows out with six Olympic gold medals among 14 in total, as well as a host of other accolades. “Today I am officially retiring from competitive swimming,” she wrote . “Leading into Paris, I knew it would be my last Olympics, and the months since have given me time to reflect on my journey, and think about what I wanted my future to look like in swimming. “I am proud of myself for giving my swimming career absolutely everything, both physically and mentally. “I wanted to see what I was capable of - and I did. “Swimming has given me so much. From the dream igniting at 5 years old, right through to my third Olympic games - I have so many lessons, experiences, friendships and memories that I am so thankful for. Along with every person who supported me, worked hard with me, and cheered me on. THANKYOU. “Now I am excited to see how I can push myself in other ways, and for all the things that life has in store.” McKeon’s announcement was flooded with messages from superstars from Australia and around the world. “Incredible. What a career👏 proud to have shared a few teams with you. Congrats Emma ❤️ Enjoy whatever is next!” Jess Fox wrote. “So proud of you Em ❤️❤️ you’re a legend in and out of the pool forever xxx,” fellow swimmer Ariarne Titmus said. “Love your work, Emma. Enjoy the next chapter 😍,” Ash Barty added. “What an amazing career! Truely blessed to have the honour to train alongside you,” Emily Seebohm said. “There is no one else like you, incredible athlete and extraordinary woman. An honour to be apart of your career and I am so proud to be your friend. Congratulations, can’t wait to see what you do next! ❤️,” Jenna Strauch added. Born into a swimming family, McKeon always appeared destined for greatness. After narrowly missing out on a spot in the 2012 team, McKeon made her Olympics debut in Rio four years later. She won her first gold as a member of the 4x100m freestyle relay team, while she also picked up two silvers. But that was nothing compared to what she achieved at the next Olympics in Tokyo. She won four gold among seven medals in total — the equal most won by a female athlete in any sport at a single Games. She added another gold to her haul this year in Paris, as well as a silver and bronze to be the most decorated Australian Olympian of all time.

Read her work online .WASHINGTON — The Senate is pushing toward a vote on legislation that would provide full Social Security benefits to millions of people, setting up a potential passage in the final days of the lame-duck Congress. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Thursday he would begin the process for a final vote on the bill, known as the Social Security Fairness Act, which would eliminate policies that currently limit Social Security payouts for roughly 2.8 million people. Schumer said the bill would “ensure Americans are not erroneously denied their well-earned Social Security benefits simply because they chose at some point to work in their careers in public service.” The legislation passed the House on a bipartisan vote, and a Senate version of the bill introduced last year gained 62 cosponsors. But the bill still needs support from at least 60 senators to pass Congress. It would then head to President Biden. At least one GOP senator who signed onto the bill last year, Sen. Mike Braun of Indiana, said he was still “weighing” whether to vote for the bill next week. “Nothing ever gets paid for, so if it’s further indebtedness, I don’t know,” he said. Decades in the making, the bill would repeal two federal policies – the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset – that broadly reduce payments to two groups of Social Security recipients: people who also receive a pension from a job that is not covered by Social Security and surviving spouses of Social Security recipients who receive a government pension of their own. The bill would add more strain on the Social Security Trust funds, which were already estimated to be unable to pay out full benefits beginning in 2035. It would add an estimated $195 billion to federal deficits over 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Sen. John Thune, the no. 2 Republican in leadership, acknowledged that the policy has strong bipartisan support, but said some Republicans also want to see it “fixed in the context of a broader Social Security reform effort.” Conservatives have opposed the bill, decrying its cost. “Even for something that people consider to be a good cause, it shows a lack of concern for the future of the country, so I think it would be a big mistake,” said Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky. Still, other Republicans have pushed Schumer to bring it up for a vote. Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said last month that the current federal limitations “penalize families across the country who worked a public service job for part of their career with a separate pension. We’re talking about police officers, firefighters, teachers, and other public employees who are punished for serving their communities.” He predicted the bill would pass.
