KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sophomore Mason Falslev scored 25 points to match his career high for the second straight game, adding 12 rebounds for his first double-double, and Utah State defeated Iowa 77-69 on Friday night in the Hall of Fame Classic. Falslev sank 9 of 15 shots from the floor, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range, for the Aggies (5-0). Ian Martinez totaled 13 points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals for Utah State. Tucker Anderson pitched in with 10 points, five rebounds and five steals off the bench. Brock Harding led the Hawkeyes (5-1) with 19 points. Owen Freeman finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds for his second double-double of the season. Payton Sandfort scored 14, but he made only 4 of 18 shots — including 1 for 13 from beyond the arc. Falslev had two baskets in the first two minutes and Utah State grabbed the lead and held it until Freeman scored on a layup to put Iowa up 13-12 midway through the half. The Hawkeyes had a six-point lead late but Falslev's tip-in with 5 seconds left pulled the Aggies within 37-33 at intermission. Iowa maintained its lead in the second half until Falslev's layup with 14:46 remaining gave Utah State a 47-46 lead. Harding answered with a 3-pointer for the Hawkeyes, and they played with the lead until Martinez sandwiched a jumper and a 3-pointer around two free throws by Falslev to give Utah State a 58-53 lead with 10:02 left to play. The Aggies never trailed again. Iowa was trying to win six in a row to begin the season for the first time since the 2021-22 season when it won seven straight.

The Dutchman, who was out of work for just two weeks following his four-game spell as Manchester United interim boss, only started on Sunday so was happy to end a hectic three days in style. “It has been very busy getting to know everyone, start working together,” he said. “Everybody was involved with that and helping, it was busy, long days, but worth it. I was focused on the game and what the game needed, the subs, the half-time talk, so focused on the moment, so I am going to get myself a little beer and reflect on the last three days.” He endured a dream start as Vardy scored after just 98 seconds with El Khannouss and Daka adding second-half goals. It was by no means one-way traffic, though, as West Ham – who scored a consolation through Niclas Fullkrug at the death – had 30 shots on goal. But Van Nistelrooy saw enough to think he can deliver on his objective of keeping the Foxes in the Premier League. “I am very happy, if you look at the result – and it is about the result – it was a great night, three points, three good goals and also very effective. Ruud at the wheel 🛞 pic.twitter.com/eVgIwWAcYw — Leicester City (@LCFC) December 3, 2024 “Overall the game of course we have seen and how dominant West Ham were at certain stages and what they created, that is a fact and something we have to look at. “Overall, what I expected of the players going forward was togetherness and hunger, energy and spirit in this team that is fighting for every inch. “Eleven players on the pitch who are fighting as a foundation to play the rest of the Premier League. I saw that completely with every single player that started and came on. “That’s the foundation we have to build on, without that it will be impossible to get where we want to go. I am very happy about that.” West Ham’s hierarchy will have seen what impact a managerial change can have as the jury remains out on Julen Lopetegui, with away fans making their feelings clear by chanting “You’re getting sacked in the morning”. Lopetegui expects to keep his job but forthcoming games against his former club Wolves, Bournemouth, Brighton and Southampton could determine the Spaniard’s future. “The only thing that I am worried about is to go to training session tomorrow and stand up the players and prepare the next challenge,” he said. “We have one month of December with a lot of matches and I am sure with this attitude we are going to achieve many more points. “I believe in the players. I am confident that tomorrow we are going to be ready to prepare the next match. “Understanding the question, but at the end of the season maybe we talk in another way. There are a lot of matches and points, a lot of things can happen. “I believe in these players and team, I am sure the position is going to be much better. They are only words but we have to work a lot to achieve this.”Chad Chronister, Donald Trump’s pick to run the DEA, withdraws name from consideration

Prices start from just £11 for a small table-top tree, to £240 for a more opulent 7ft pre lit tree. Read more money news One tree on offer is the Shatchi Fibre Optic Multicolour LED Pre Lit Artifical tree which stands at 3ft tall. The pre-lit tree was selling for £48, and is now down to £40. Christmas lovers opting for a more traditional look can pick up a 6ft artificial Shatchi Bushy Green LED Pre-Lit Kentucky Artificial Christmas Tree for £151 - down from £181, saving customers £30. Wilko also currently has 25 per cent off Christmas decorations - making it a one stop festive shop. Most read in Money The deals won't last forever, and shoppers could miss out on their favourite Christmas product, so it's advised to call ahead or check online first. You can find your nearest Wilko store by checking the store locator on the website, or alternatively, you can make your purchase online. SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain... Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with. Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks. Sales are when you can pick up a real steal. Retailers usually have periodic promotions that tie into payday at the end of the month or Bank Holiday weekends, so keep a lookout and shop when these deals are on. Sign up to mailing lists and you’ll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too. When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use vouchercodes.co.uk and myvouchercodes.co.uk are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer. Scanner apps are useful to have on your phone. Trolley.co.uk app has a scanner that you can use to compare prices on branded items when out shopping. Bargain hunters can also use B&M’s scanner in the app to find discounts in-store before staff have marked them out. And always check if you can get cashback before paying which in effect means you’ll get some of your money back or a discount on the item. Meanwhile, a viral pop up Christmas tree has shoppers in a tizzy. The Range appears to have found a time-saving solution by creating a ‘pop up’ Christmas tree which looks “lavish” in seconds. The retailer uploaded a video of the easy installation, showing how it folds flat and then you unfurl it in seconds from the top to the bottom. In less than a minute, the tree looks ‘perfect’ with even branches and is ready for the Christmas period. They wrote: “The tree without THE FUSS. Our 6ft Deluxe pre-lit Pop up tree is LESS THAN £100.” The flocked tree even comes already decorated, so you don’t have to spend hours each year making it look festive. The description reads: “For those who want their lavish Christmas decor without all the fuss of setting up, the 6ft Deluxe Pre-Lit Pop Up Tree is the perfect choice for your centrepiece. “As a pop-up tree, it's super easy to simply fold out, and it even comes with fairy lights already all over it, so you don't even need to bother with LED strings. READ MORE SUN STORIES “For extra festive cheer, this tree features a snowy flocked finish as well as silver baubles.” Currently the tree costs £99.99, but it hasn’t been a big hit so far with shoppers, despite it being a quick solution. HERE'S what you need to know if you're buying a real Christmas tree: First thing's first: buy a pot (if it doesn't come in one already). You'll need to treat your tree just like a houseplant and give it water and attention. Make sure the container has good drainage - and it's a good idea to put something underneath to catch the excess water. Check the soil everyday to make sure it's not drying out. If it feels dry, give it some water. If it still feels moist, leave it alone as too much water can also kill a tree. Also check the LED bulbs on your tree lights aren't too hot as they could burn it, and keep your tree away from radiators. When Christmas is over, try planting it in the garden so you can dig it up and use it again next year. It's a good idea to take it out of its pot when you do re-plant it though, as large trees don't survive well in pots as their roots need space to grow.

Arkansas WR Andrew Armstrong declares for NFL draft, skipping bowlNEW YORK (AP) — Brian Thompson led one of the biggest health insurers in the U.S. but was unknown to millions of people his decisions affected. Then Wednesday's targeted fatal shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk thrust the executive and his business into the national spotlight. Thompson, who was 50, had worked at the giant UnitedHealth Group Inc for 20 years and run the insurance arm since 2021 after running its Medicare and retirement business. As CEO, Thompson led a firm that provides health coverage to more than 49 million Americans — more than the population of Spain. United is the largest provider of Medicare Advantage plans, the privately run versions of the U.S. government’s Medicare program for people age 65 and older. The company also sells individual insurance and administers health-insurance coverage for thousands of employers and state-and federally funded Medicaid programs. The business run by Thompson brought in $281 billion in revenue last year, making it the largest subsidiary of the Minnetonka, Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group. His $10.2 million annual pay package, including salary, bonus and stock options awards, made him one of the company's highest-paid executives. The University of Iowa graduate began his career as a certified public accountant at PwC and had little name recognition beyond the health care industry. Even to investors who own its stock, the parent company's face belonged to CEO Andrew Witty, a knighted British triathlete who has testified before Congress. When Thompson did occasionally draw attention, it was because of his role in shaping the way Americans get health care. At an investor meeting last year, he outlined his company's shift to “value-based care,” paying doctors and other caregivers to keep patients healthy rather than focusing on treating them once sick. “Health care should be easier for people,” Thompson said at the time. “We are cognizant of the challenges. But navigating a future through value-based care unlocks a situation where the ... family doesn’t have to make the decisions on their own.” Thompson also drew attention in 2021 when the insurer, like its competitors, was widely criticized for a plan to start denying payment for what it deemed non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms. “Patients are not medical experts and should not be expected to self-diagnose during what they believe is a medical emergency,” the chief executive of the American Hospital Association wrote in an open letter addressed to Thompson. “Threatening patients with a financial penalty for making the wrong decision could have a chilling effect on seeking emergency care.” United Healthcare responded by delaying rollout of the change. Thompson, who lived in a Minneapolis suburb and was the married father of two sons in high school, was set to speak at an investor meeting in a midtown New York hotel. He was on his own and about to enter the building when he was shot in the back by a masked assailant who fled on foot before pedaling an e-bike into Central Park a few blocks away, the New York Police Department said. Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said investigators were looking at Thompson's social media accounts and interviewing employees and family members. “Didn’t seem like he had any issues at all,” Kenny said. "He did not have a security detail.” AP reporters Michael R. Sisak and Steve Karnowski contributed to this report. Murphy reported from Indianapolis. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

The outgoing Commander-in-Chief, 82, arrived on Thursday in the Caribbean resort of Saint Croix - part of the U.S. Virgin Islands - for a last vacation before he prepares to leave office. Biden , First Lady Jill Biden, and daughter Ashley were filmed disembarking Air Force One for a post-Christmas sunny getaway. From the tiny airport, they were whisked away in a presidential motorcade to the beachfront villa of Bill and Connie Neville, two wealthy business managers and prominent Democratic donors. Biden previously spent New Year's Day at the couple's Caribbean home in 2023 and also hosted them at a state dinner in 2022. Wearing a black baseball cap, the outgoing president appeared stony-faced as he made his way to his waiting vehicle. READ MORE ON JOE BIDEN The Nevilles run the US Viking software company, which makes an online content platform called ENPS marketed by The Associated Press and used by various news outlets. It is the latest of Biden's stays at the home of wealthy backers, drawing accusations of ethics violations. Previously, the Bidens reportedly asked Maria Allwin, the widow of a prominent hedge fund operator, if they could use her vacation mansion in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Biden also spent four Thanksgiving-week stays at billionaire private equity titan David Rubenstein’s compound in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Most read in The US Sun This September, President Biden spoke at a lunch hosted by Rubenstein in Washington. The previous month, Biden’s family spent five days for free at the sprawling California ranch of medical technology billionaire Joe Kiani. Kiani has received substantial government contracts during the Biden administration and has been appointed by the president to an advisory board. Both moves have sparked outrage from Republicans. Biden has also been slammed for avoiding the media or scrutiny from opposition as he brings an end to his 50-year political career. “He’s been disappeared for a long time," GOP strategist Doug Heye told The Hill . "We saw him go to Africa, didn’t take any questions that anybody could see, and was largely shielded from the press." Democrats have also expressed frustration as Biden's term looks to go out with a whimper. "There’s just such a great level of sort of disappointment on the way this presidency is ending," one Democratic lobbyist said. "It’s almost like a resignation at this point." Read More on The US Sun Instead, Trump has been able to dominate the media spotlight, through a series of colorful cabinet appointees as well as some high-profile public appearances. As Biden's legacy looks tarnished forever, attention has shifted to Trump who is making presidential statements weeks before he takes office.
WASHINGTON >> Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch will not participate in an environmental case to be argued next week involving a proposed railway in Utah, the court said on Wednesday, a move that followed a call by some Democratic lawmakers for him to recuse over a possible conflict of interest. The one-paragraph announcement made public by a court official came in a letter addressed to lawyers in the case due to be argued next Tuesday. The other eight justices will hear and decide the case. Gorsuch decided to withdraw from participating in the case consistent with the code of conduct adopted by the court last year, the statement said, but provided no further explanation. U.S. congressman Hank Johnson and 12 other Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to Gorsuch on Nov. 21 urging his withdrawal because businessman Philip Anschutz, a former legal client of the justice, has “a direct financial interest in the outcome” of the case. The lawmakers said that the Anschutz Exploration Corporation and other companies tied to the businessman could be affected by the case. Johnson, who has called for stiffer ethics requirements at the Supreme Court, applauded Gorsuch on Wednesday for his recusal decision, calling it “the right and honorable thing.” “It is important that the court show the public that it is not in the pocket of billionaire benefactors,” Johnson added. “That said, I believe we need a system that does not just rely on individual justices to do the right thing in every case.” The court last year announced its first code of conduct for the justices amid revelations related to undisclosed luxury trips and other financial ties to wealthy benefactors, though it lacked any enforcement mechanism. The case from which Gorsuch withdrew involves a bid by a group of counties in Utah to build a railway line to connect the Uinta Basin in northeastern Utah to an existing freight rail network that would be primarily used to transport waxy crude oil. The case tests the scope of environmental impact studies that federal agencies must conduct under a 1970 federal law called the National Environmental Policy Act, which is aimed at preventing environmental harms that might result from major projects.

This release was published on openPR.South Korea lifts president's martial law decree after lawmakers reject military ruleCanada’s dried flower exports have seen impressive growth, doubling year-over-year in 3Q24, with the sector hitting record levels in October. According to Pablo Zuanic , senior analyst at Zuanic & Associates , “The strong growth in dried flower exports signals a thriving international market, with Germany emerging as a key driver.” Get Benzinga's exclusive analysis and the top news about the cannabis industry and markets daily in your inbox for free. Subscribe to our newsletter here . You can’t afford to miss out if you're serious about the business. Record-Breaking October And Strong 3Q Growth In October 2024, Canadian dried flower exports reached an all-time high of $20.18 million, positioning Canada's export market to surpass $187.5 million by the end of 2024, compared to $120 million in 2023 and $96 million in 2022. For 3Q24, exports totaled C$69 million, a 106% year-over-year increase and a 19% quarter-over-quarter rise. Zuanic forecasts that Q4 2024 will see further growth, potentially reaching C$85 million, a year-over-year jump of 87%. Germany And Australia Lead Export Growth While Australia remains the largest importer of Canadian dried flowers, Germany is rapidly gaining ground. In 3Q24, Germany accounted for 26% of total Canadian dried flower exports, a significant increase from 28% in the previous year. Notably, sales to Germany , including reshipments from Portugal, were responsible for about half of the export growth during the quarter. Zuanic points out , "Germany's stock-outs and tight inventories reflect ongoing demand, suggesting strong growth ahead for the market.” Average export prices for dried flowers in 3Q24 stood at $1.58 per gram, a decrease from $1.67 per gram in Q2 but up from $1.46 per gram in Q3 2023. Export prices to Germany were notably higher at $2.55 per gram, up from $2.39 per gram in Q2, highlighting the lucrative nature of the German market . Zuanic also highlighted the performance of key players in the export space. "Aurora’s ACB exports come entirely from Canada, while Curaleaf CURLF ships from Canada to Portugal for EU GMP processing," he noted. Read Also: Europe Is Turning Cash Flow Positive, ‘We’ll See What Happens In The U.S.,’ Says Curaleaf’s Boris Jordan Extracts Market Shows Less Consistent Growth While dried flower exports have flourished, the growth of Canada’s cannabis extracts , including oils and vapes , has been more erratic. Exports of extracts totaled $32.02 million for the first nine months of 2024, down from $41.7 million in the same period of 2023. Notably, flower exports now vastly outpace extracts. In 2023, flower exports were more than twice the value of extracts, but by 3Q24, dried flower exports were nearly six times the size of extracts. Zuanic explains, "As medical cannabis markets deregulate, dried flower exports are likely to continue driving overall growth, especially in Germany.” Read Also: $2.9B European Cannabis Market: A Strategic Blueprint For Cross-Border Transportation Logistics Down The Commodity Lane What does Zuanic's analysis teach other markets? We could argue that while Canada leads in cannabis exports, it remains heavily reliant on the commoditization of raw flowers, which risks the deterioration of exchange terms over time, especially as European countries begin to extract oil locally rather than purchasing Canadian cannabis oil. Emerging cannabis economies like Colombia , Argentina , and South Africa must avoid this trap by investing in value-added industries such as oils, extracts, and vapes, to ensure they aren't relegated to supplying just raw materials. By focusing on developing local processing and product innovation, they can capture a larger share of the global cannabis value chain and secure more sustainable, profitable growth in the future.

MADRID (AP) — Getafe scored twice in three minutes midway through the second half to beat struggling Valladolid 2-0 and record only its second win in La Liga on Friday. The victory ended Getafe’s five-game winless run and lifted it into 15th place in the 20-team standings. Valladolid remained second to last. In the buildup to the match, Getafe sporting director Rubén Reyes described the game as a final but his team was lucky not to go behind as Valladolid created more of the early chances. However, the home side took control in the 69th minute when substitute Álvaro Rodríguez got the opener. Three minutes later, man of the match Allan Nyom made it 2-0. “There’s been a lot of games where we’ve run and fought but lost or drawn,” Nyom, the veteran Cameroon full back, said. “A game that reflects the effort we’ve put in in training is very welcome.” Adding to Valladolid’s woes, coach Paulo Pezzolano was sent off before halftime. The Uruguayan has the league’s worst disciplinary record, with seven yellow cards before Friday’s red. AP soccer:
