BOSTON -- The Celtics will be down a pair of starters on Wednesday night for their matchup against the Pistons at TD Garden. Jayson Tatum (right patella tendiopathy) and Jrue Holiday (left knee tendiopathy) were both downgraded from questionable to out two hours before tip for Boston . It will be the first game that Tatum has missed all season and it will be the second straight game that Holiday has missed. Joe Mazzulla said before Wednesday’s game that Tatum’s knee injury was not a cause for concern and he would likely only miss one game with the injury. The Celtics will get plenty of reinforcements back for Wednesday’s matchup which will help counteract the absences of Tatum and Holiday. Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford were removed from the injury report after sitting out Monday’s win. Sam Hauser is also back with the team after missing Monday’s game for personal reasons. Boston is in the midst of their busiest stretch of the year playing five games in seven nights so it makes sense that Holiday and Tatum can some added rest against a subpar Detroit opponent. The Pistons will also be coming off a back-to-back matchup against the Bucks Tuesday night in Detroit and will be without forward Ausar Thompson. Boston has a 1-0 record this season against the Pistons and will now face off with them twice in the next week after a Pistons home game was added next Thursday in the wake of the Celtics’ NBA Cup elimination. The Celtics tip off against the Pistons at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. More Celtics contentHow major US stock indexes fared Wednesday, 12/4/2024

DENVER — Mayor Mike Johnston’s pointed comments last week about Denverites resisting a federal mass-deportation effort — including a suggestion that he would mobilize the Denver police department to face off with federal and National Guard troops — have generated blowback in Colorado and across the country.

While the new team is still over a year away from starting, it will add an increased American presence to the sport and more competition for recent and four-time consecutive champion Max Verstappen. What Happened : Formula 1, which is a unit of publicly traded Liberty Formula One FWONA FWONK , announced it reached an agreement with General Motors for a new team, branded as Cadillac, which will enter beginning in 2026, following up a previous rejection of a GM-linked team earlier this year. General Motors will also become an engine supplier for the league at a later date, the league announced . The GM team will use Ferrari engines until the GM engines are officially approved for the sport. "With Formula 1's continued growth plans in the U.S., we have always believed that welcoming an impressive U.S. brand like GM/Cadillac to the grid and GM as a future power unit supplier could bring additional value and interest to the sport," Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei said. General Motors President Mark Reuss called Formula 1 the "pinnacle of motorsports" and said the announcement of becoming the 11 th team is an honor for the automotive company. "We're committed to competing with passion and integrity to elevate the sport for race fans around the world," Reuss said. "This is a global stage for us to demonstrate GM's engineering expertise and technology leadership at an entirely new level." The approval of the team comes after the U.S. Justice Department launched an investigation into why Liberty Media, who owns the commercial rights to Formula 1, would not approve the American team bid started by Michael Andretti. The new team, called Cadillac F1, will be run by Andretti Global majority owners Dan Towriss and Mark Walter after Andretti stepped aside from the group in September. Former Formula 1 champion and racing legend Mario Andretti will have an ambassador role with Cadillac F1 while his son Michael will have no official position.

While Verstappen finished fifth in the race, he secured enough points to guarantee that no one could match his points total with two races left in the season. This marks the fourth consecutive title by Verstappen with his first title in 2021 a close one with racing legend Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen has been dominant in the sport in recent years winning the title with races still left in season three of the four years. Verstappen won seven of the first 10 races this season before falling out of form but later did enough to win enough points to secure the title. The new GM team marks the second American-owned team . Gene Haas owns a team but chooses to have international drivers. Michael Andretti's original vision was to have an American-owned team and also feature American drivers, something that fans of the sport will be closely watching. Team expansion has been infrequent with four teams added in 2010 to push the total to 13 teams and 26 cars. Of the four teams added, one never raced and the other three were out of the league by 2017, as reported by the Associated Press. The existing 10 team owners have been against expansion due to the dilution of prize money, but have no formal say in the approval process. Adding another American team could benefit ESPN, which is a unit of Walt Disney Co DIS . ESPN secured the renewal of the U.S. rights in 2022, paying an estimated $75 million to $90 million annually for the rights for three additional years. ESPN fought off several other parties interested in the rights, as viewership for the sport has surged in recent years. Along with recent growth in viewership in the U.S. Formula One teams have also experienced increased interest in ownership stakes from investors, including several notable American football players. The Alpine racing team received investments in 2023 from Kansas City Chiefs players Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce , professional golfer Rory McIlroy and actor Ryan Reynolds. FWONA Price Action : Liberty Formula One shares were up 4.25% to $80.74 on Monday, hitting an intraday high of $80.88, which is a new 52-week high. The stock is up 41% year-to-date in 2024.

Now Poundland is hoping to attract shoppers of a different kind after putting its first-ever apartments up for sale. The discount retailer bought a listed former bank in Elgin, Moray, in 2019 and it is the only building in the UK that it owns outright rather than leases. Builders spent six years working on the restoration of the ground-floor shop space and the four flats above it. The first flat has now gone on the market for offers over £85,000 and has been billed as ‘perfect for those seeking modern living combined with historical elegance’. The one-bedroom property has also been decorated with products from Poundland, including rugs, picture frames, cutlery, wine glasses and vases, which will be included in the sale. Another flat, on the second floor, has two bedrooms and a price tag of offers over £105,000. The new owners of the four flats will also be able to nip downstairs to stock up on essentials as the Poundland on the ground floor will reopen on Saturday after undergoing extensive refurbishment. Poundland has put its first-ever flats on sale above its new Elgin store in Moray Poundland is selling four flats after it bought a former bank in Elgin, Moray, and turned it into a retail space and homes The buiding was originally a branch of Royal Bank of Scotland which opened in 1856 and it has also been a temperance hotel and was a Woolworths store until 2008. Poundland at first leased it but bought it when the landlords were unable to carry out essential works to the historic building. Serious structural issues meant it needed to be rebuilt and the project was hampered by water leaks, the pandemic and a fire. But the flats are now complete and boast open plan kitchens, stylish shower rooms and double glazing. They are being marketed by Belvoir Sales, which said in the sales brochures that the properties offer a ‘unique opportunity to reside in a beautifully restored landmark building that’s the talk of the town’. Alan Smallman, Poundland’s transformation director who led the restoration project, said: ‘Bringing the building back to life and restoring it to its former glory has been no easy task but we know how much this building means to the people of Elgin and Moray. ‘We hope the love we’ve shown it will be a catalyst for more investment into Elgin and its high street. ‘I’d like to thank the whole team that’s helped bring us back home here in Elgin.’ Cllr Marc Macrae, Chair of Moray Council’s Economic Development and Infrastructure Services Committee said: ‘I add my congratulations to the Poundland team’s efforts in refurbishing an iconic Moray building and giving the centre of Elgin a much-welcomed boost. ‘It’s especially heartening to see the store about to start trading again and hope the staff enjoy being back in their own building in the busy lead up to Christmas. ‘I’m sure there will be plenty of interest in the flats becoming available and it will be great to see more residential property being enjoyed in the town centre. ‘There is much to be impressed about with this whole project from Poundland and I look forward to seeing further development work in the town centre to meet the aspirational aims we have for Moray.’ Woolworths Poundland Share or comment on this article: Now Poundland's selling flats... but you'll need 85,000 £1s to buy one e-mail Add comment
Big tech companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) to see which is a better buy right now. Nvidia is the largest company in the world, valued at US$3.35 trillion by . It is a leader in AI hardware, as its graphics processing units, or GPUs, are used to train AI models such as ChatGPT. These GPUs are optimized for deep learning tasks, which makes them essential for data centres looking to implement AI solutions. Its new-age chips enable faster computation and efficient processing of complex algorithms, allowing Nvidia to lead this chip market with a share of over 80%. Notably, the tech giant has created a robust software ecosystem. For instance, the Nvidia AI Enterprise is a software platform that provides tools to build and deploy AI applications effectively. These integrations allow companies to leverage Nvidia’s technologies and accelerate AI initiatives easily. Dell has made giant strides in establishing itself as a critical player in the AI infrastructure market. It recently launched the Dell AI Factory to simplify and enhance enterprise AI adoption. In fact, the Dell AI Factory has partnered with Nvidia to offer AI technologies for model training and deployment. Dell is one of the largest companies in the AI infrastructure market, given its offerings help configure diverse AI workloads. In the last few quarters, Dell has noted a significant increase in AI server sales due to growing demand across multiple sectors. Dell competes with other companies . Nvidia is among the hottest stocks on the planet, surging over 2,000% in the last five years. Dell’s shares have also outpaced the broader markets, surging by over 450% since November 2019. However, the growth story for both these tech stocks is far from over. Analysts tracking Nvidia expect it to grow sales from US$60.9 billion in fiscal 2024 (ended in January) to US$129.1 billion in fiscal 2025 and US$194.2 billion in 2026. Comparatively, adjusted earnings are forecast to expand from US$1.29 per share in fiscal 2024 to US$2.95 per share in 2025 and US$4.41 per share in 2026. So, priced at 31.1 times forward earnings, Nvidia stock trades at a premium. Comparatively, Wall Street expects Dell’s sales to rise from US$88.4 billion in fiscal 2024 to US$96.2 billion in 2025 and US$105.8 billion in 2026. Its earnings are projected to grow from US$7.13 in 2024 to US$9.44 in 2026. So, priced at 14.8 times , DELL stock trades at a lower multiple than Nvidia. Both Nvidia and Dell remain crucial to the AI market. While Dell trades at a lower multiple, it is positioned to grow adjusted earnings faster than its peers. Comparatively, Nvidia remains at the epicentre of this megatrend and benefits from pricing power due to a robust product portfolio and an expanding ecosystem.Uniswap Outperforms BNB, Yet This Rising Crypto Becomes Whales’ New Favorite

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? TORONTO – The Winnipeg Jets had payback on their minds and top spot in the National Hockey League in their final game before the holiday break. The Jets made good on both accounts with a 5-2 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs before 18,923 at Scotiabank Arena on Monday. The win avenged a 6-4 home loss to Toronto on Oct. 28, that halted the Jets’ eight-game win streak to begin the season. It also pushed the Jets into first overall. “They don’t hand out awards at Christmas, but obviously, we’re happy,” said Jets centre Mark Scheifele, who enjoyed a three-goal, four-point outing. “It’s good to get a couple of days off, get recharged and get going for the next half of the season.” Surprisingly, the Jets (25-10-1) are only one point ahead of the 36-game pace of 23-9-4 set a year ago. “We’ve been good from top to bottom and we need everybody in this group,” said Kyle O’Connor, who scored the Jets first two goals and helped set up Scheifele for his first of three third-period goals. “I just think our ability to roll over lines and be hungry, and not to be satisfied with anything. We also have taken a day-to-day approach, learning what we can improve on from wins and losses and implementing the adjustments.” Besides defeating the Maple Leafs after what transpired in late October, Scheifele had extra motivation after being left off Canada’s roster for the 4 Nations Face-Off in February. In the 10 games since Canada’s roster was announced, Scheifele has eight goals and 15 points. “You’re disappointed, but at the end of the day, you just want to play well for your group of guys,” Scheifele said. “There’s always a bit of motivation you can draw from in every game. But it’s just a matter of playing good for the Winnipeg Jets and controlling what I can control.” He also enjoys playing in Toronto, an hour from his hometown of Kitchener. “I love coming to Toronto to have the opportunity to play in front of a lot of friends and family,” Scheifele said. “Being so close to home, I get a little extra excited to play here. “I think the biggest thing is we didn’t play our best when we played them last. We were excited to get another crack at them and how them the game we can play. All in all, it’s a big win for us.” MATTHEWS STILL OUT WITH INJURY While the Jets enter the Christmas break with back-to-back wins, the Maple Leafs dropped their second in a row at home without wounded captain Auston Matthews, out with an upper-body injury. “We just have to clean up some things off the rush, the transition part especially against a team that’s obviously very good with their top line that takes advantage of time and space,” said Maple Leafs centre John Tavares, who scored both Toronto goals. The Maple Leafs have gone 7-4-0 with Matthews on the sidelines this season and 42-23-2 in his career. Toronto was also missing defenceman Chris Tanev, out day-to-day with a lower-body ailment. Tanev missed his first game after skating in the pre-game warm-up. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 23, 2024. Advertisement Advertisement
