The Carolina Hurricanes have activated top forward Seth Jarvis from injured reserve. Jarvis missed the last seven games with an upper-body injury. He returned to practice in a no-contact jersey on November 19th. In a corresponding move, Carolina also recalled goaltender Yaniv Perets and assigned defender Ty Smith. Jarvis will return ahead of a three-game homestand for the Hurricanes, giving a much-needed boost to a Carolina offense that got outscored by New Jersey and Columbus in their last two outings. Jarvis has 11 points through 13 games this season, returning to a pivotal role in the team’s top-six and special teams. He’s coming off a prolific 2023-24 campaign, scoring 33 goals and 67 points despite playing most of the season injured. The 22-year-old has established himself as a pillar of the Carolina lineup, and will now get a chance to get back to point-per-game scoring. His return will likely bump William Carrier or Tyson Jost out of the lineup, with Eric Robinson hanging onto his role with four points in his last four games. Carolina also bolsters their net with this move, recalling Perets following a scary injury to de facto starter Pyotr Kochetkov. No update on Kochetkov’s prognosis has been given, but Perets’ recall suggests Carolina will deal with at least a few days without their top netminder. They’ll now have to decide between Spencer Martin and Perets for the starting role. Martin has a 1-2-1 record and a .870 save percentage through five NHL games this year. Perets hasn’t made his first career NHL start yet but has stepped into three AHL games – with a .825 save percentage through three games. With both goalies on NHL recalls, the Chicago Wolves are left with Dustin Tokarski and Ruslan Khazheyev in their net. The Hurricanes will move forward with an improved offense, but tattered goaltending room. They’re 6-3-1 through their last 10 games, outscoring opponents 39-to-28.

Brazilian police indict former President Bolsonaro and aides over alleged 2022 coup attemptPETALING Jaya City Council (MBPJ) plans to build the city’s first pickleball courts at The Spine@PJKita in Kelana Jaya as the sport continues to gain interest from the public. Mayor Mohamad Zahari Samingon said MBPJ has already appointed a vendor after a tender process took place to build six pickleball courts near the futsal courts at Dewan D’Kelana multipurpose hall in Petaling Jaya. He said construction for the project was scheduled to begin January next year, adding that the local council awarded the contract following the approval of the Selangor state executive council. “The pickleball courts will be housed in covered and open spaces at the venue,” he said, adding that in Selangor, the Subang Jaya City Council was the first to have pickleball courts. The decision to have pickleball courts came after Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari announced, when tabling the state’s Budget 2025, that the state would introduce it as a medal sport when it hosts the 2026 Malaysia Games (Sukma). Amirudin said sports experts had also projected that the Asian region would become the world’s hub for pickleball, with the emergence of an additional 100 million players in the next five years. Mohamad Zahari was speaking after presenting awards to recipients of MBPJ’s Clean Food Premises and Toilets programme in conjunction with World Toilet Day 2024 at the Petaling Jaya Civic Centre. The awards ceremony was held to recognise operators and owners for their efforts and initiatives in keeping food premises and public toilets clean. They were assessed based on criteria set by MBPJ, in accordance with government guidelines. A total of 119 recipients were presented awards at the event. These included 90 for the clean food premises category and 29 for the clean public toilets category. All premises that received this recognition had a high level of cleanliness, with assessment scores exceeding 86% for food premises and 91% for public toilets. On another matter, Mohamad Zahari said more recycling centres could be built in Petaling Jaya, depending on the availability of suitable locations. MBPJ currently had the PJ Eco Recycling Plaza at Sungai Way Free Trade Industrial Zone that was a collection centre for recyclable materials and sold pre-loved items at affordable prices. It also had the Smart Waste Solution Lab in SS2, a pilot project launched in May 2017 that processed food waste into liquid fertiliser, biogas and detergent.

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, known as CFIUS, sent its long-awaited report on the merger to Biden, who formally came out against the deal in March. He has 15 days to reach a final decision, the White House said. A U.S. official familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the private report, said some federal agencies represented on the panel were skeptical that allowing a Japanese company to buy an American-owned steelmaker would create national security risks. Monday was the deadline to approve the deal, recommend that Biden block it or extend the review process.Both Biden and President-elect Donald Trump have courted unionized workers at U.S. Steel and vowed to block the acquisition amid concerns about foreign ownership of a flagship American company. The economic risk, however, is giving up Nippon Steel’s potential investments in the mills and upgrades that might help preserve steel production within the United States. Under the terms of the proposed $14.9 billion all-cash deal, U.S. Steel would keep its name and its headquarters in Pittsburgh, where it was founded in 1901 by J.P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie. It would become a subsidiary of Nippon Steel, and the combined company would be among the top three steelmakers in the world, according to 2023 figures from the World Steel Association.Biden, backed by the United Steelworkers, said earlier this year that it was “vital for (U.S. Steel) to remain an American steel company that is domestically owned and operated.” Trump has also opposed the acquisition and vowed earlier this month on his Truth Social platform to “block this deal from happening.” He proposed reviving U.S. Steel’s flagging fortunes “through a series of Tax Incentives and Tariffs.” The steelworkers union questions if Nippon Steel would keep jobs at unionized plants, make good on collectively bargained benefits or protect American steel production from cheap foreign imports. “Our union has been calling for strict government scrutiny of the sale since it was announced. Now it’s up to President Biden to determine the best path forward,” David McCall, the steelworkers’ president, said in a statement Monday. “We continue to believe that means keeping U.S. Steel domestically owned and operated.” Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel have waged a public relations campaign to win over skeptics. U.S. Steel said in a statement Monday that the deal “is the best way, by far, to ensure that U.S. Steel, including its employees, communities, and customers, will thrive well into the future.” Nippon Steel said Tuesday that it had been informed by CFIUS that it had referred the case to Biden, and urged him to “reflect on the great lengths that we have gone to to address any national security concerns that have been raised and the significant commitments we have made to grow U. S. Steel, protect American jobs, and strengthen the entire American steel industry, which will enhance American national security.” “We are confident that our transaction should and will be approved if it is fairly evaluated on its merits,” it said in a statement. A growing number of conservatives have publicly backed the deal, as Nippon Steel began to win over some steelworkers union members and officials in areas near its blast furnaces in Pennsylvania and Indiana. Many backers said Nippon Steel has a stronger financial balance sheet than rival Cleveland-Cliffs to invest the necessary cash to upgrade aging U.S. Steel blast furnaces. Nippon Steel pledged to invest $2.7 billion in United Steelworkers-represented facilities, including U.S. Steel’s blast furnaces, and promised not to import steel slabs that would compete with the blast furnaces. It also pledged to protect U.S. Steel in trade matters and to not lay off employees or close plants during the term of the basic labor agreement. Earlier this month, it offered $5,000 in closing bonuses to U.S. Steel employees, a nearly $100 million expense. Nippon Steel also said it was best positioned to help American steel compete in an industry dominated by the Chinese. The proposed sale came during a tide of renewed political support for rebuilding America’s manufacturing sector, a presidential campaign in which Pennsylvania was a prime battleground, and a long stretch of protectionist U.S. tariffs that analysts say has helped reinvigorate domestic steel. Chaired by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, CFIUS screens business deals between U.S. firms and foreign investors and can block sales or force parties to change the terms of an agreement to protect national security.Congress significantly expanded the committee’s powers through the 2018 Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act, known as FIRRMA. In September, Biden issued an executive order broadening the factors the committee should consider when reviewing deals — such as how they impact the U.S. supply chain or if they put Americans’ personal data at risk. Nippon Steel has factories in the U.S., Mexico, China and Southeast Asia. It supplies the world’s top automakers, including Toyota Motor Corp., and makes steel for railways, pipes, appliances and skyscrapers. Copy 25/12/2024 10

New Market Trends Unveiled: Should Investors Be Worried? Discover What Analysts Say

The RSM Classic Scores

Outgoing New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) brushed aside Elon Musk’s potential conflicts of interest while praising the tech baron’s crusade to get Washington’s fiscal house back in order. Sununu downplayed fears that Musk’s lucrative government contracts could influence his policy advice to the incoming Trump administration and suggested that the world’s richest man is too wealthy to care about getting more money. “Everyone has a conflict of interest at some level,” Sununu told CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday when pressed about the billionaire’s financial interests. Moderator Dana Bash pushed back saying, “But that’s like a pretty big one.” “True, the guy’s worth $450 billion as of today and this month,” Sununu admitted. “I don’t think he’s doing it for the money.” “He’s doing it for the bigger project and the bigger vision of America. He doesn’t need the dollars. He really doesn’t,” Sununu added. “He’s so rich, he’s so removed from the potential financial influence of it.” Sununu portrayed himself as a kindred spirit of sorts with Musk. Both men have a background in engineering, which the Granite State Republican studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Additionally, both men have espoused more traditional fiscal conservative views when it comes to government spending. Sununu was also optimistic that Musk would be able to trim down government bloat via the nascent Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which despite its name, is not actually a government department. “This is a car crash, if you will, of financial crises coming,” Sununu cautioned. “[Interest on the debt] goes to about $1.8 trillion in 10 years because our rates are so high now.” “My big argument here is states have already found all these efficiencies that Washington’s talking about. We have already done it.” The New Hampshire governor, who toyed with a 2024 run himself, endorsed former presidential hopeful Nikki Haley and was outspokenly critical of Trump during the primary process. Besides Trump’s temperament, one of Sununu’s biggest gripes was government spending under the real estate mogul’s first term. But this time around, Sununu is optimistic that things will be different. “I’m cautiously optimistic for a couple of reasons. Number one, I don’t think [Trump] understood how Congress really fundamentally worked in 2017 and 2018,” Sununu explained. “Republicans lost in 2018 because they talked a big game and got nothing done. I think there’s a different team he’s surrounded himself with, a little more professional of a team within the White House itself,” he added. “And he has outsiders.” In Congress, Republicans are set to have a slimmer House majority than they had during the start of Trump’s first term in 2017. Fiscal hawks within the party have indicated a willingness to flex their muscles during key budget fights. Earlier this month, for example, Musk helped fuel a revolt against a bipartisan government funding bill that House Republican leadership negotiated with Democrats. Sununu, who bucked pressure to run for the US Senate in 2022, opted against seeking reelection for a fourth consecutive term as governor. He did not face term limits. He now plans on heading to the private sector when Gov.-elect Kelly Ayotte (R) moves into the governor’s mansion.

Colorado would not disclose the amount of insurance coverage each received, citing privacy laws. Coach Deion Sanders and athletic director Rick George both said it was the largest in college football history. “We happen to have two players that are probably going to be the first two picks of the NFL draft,” Sanders said Monday. “We all know who those two are and they have received, I think, the highest number of coverage that has ever been covered in college football. It far exceeds anyone that has ever played this game of college football.” While college programs maintain insurance policies for their athletes in case of injury, Colorado increased disability coverage for its entire roster in the Alamo Bowl. Sanders, the coach of the No. 20 Buffaloes, ensured his QB son and two-way star Hunter received larger policies since both are expected to be among the top 10 selections in the upcoming NFL draft. “It was his idea we should get disability insurance for our athletes for this game to ensure that they played and if there was some kind of injury that they would be well taken care of," George said. “So, we worked together on that. We’re excited about it. We think it’s great that all our players are playing in the game. That’s what all bowl games should be like.” Colorado (9-3, No. 23 CFP) will face the 17th-ranked BYU Cougars (10-2, No. 17 CFP) in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday. While most teams are scrambling with starters opting out of bowl games this year to enter the transfer portal or NFL draft, the Buffaloes did not lose any player on their two-deep roster. “It’s more than what I got (when he played at Kansas State),” Colorado linebackers coach Andre’ Hart said. “They gave us a helmet and said pop this on your leg and get out there and play. For them to get that (increased insurance coverage), I just think it’s beneficial. To talk about where the game is, where it’s going and how leadership is taking care of the players, I thought that’s excellent.” Shedeur Sanders completed 337 of 454 passes for 3,926 yards and 35 touchdowns this season. Many scouting services have Sanders rated as the top quarterback in this year's draft. Hunter received the Heisman Trophy as a two-way standout at cornerback and wide receiver. He had 92 receptions for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns and as a cornerback had four interceptions, broke up 11 passes and limited the opposition to 22 receptions on 688 defensive snaps. “They’ve taken care of us, everybody,” Colorado running back Micah Welch said. “It really means a lot to have every teammate up here. That's a big thing. What I like about Coach Prime, they’re taking care of us.” Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

Is it realistic to dream of becoming a stock market millionaire? Even starting with zero, I think it is credible to aim for a million, although I think that takes a and also money to invest. But what is the right approach? Some people aim to find the ‘next big thing’ and hope that they will stumble on a or before the share price soars. But if finding the next big thing was easy, the army of well-paid professionals who aim to do just that would be finding it with more regularity than they do! For every promising company that turns into an incredible success, there are lots that fall by the wayside. So, how I aiming for a million? I am looking for new companies. I am focusing on emerging sectors of the economy. I am necessarily even looking for big growth prospects. Instead I looking for ‘unexciting’ companies that tick over quietly year after year, churning out profits. Doing the maths What does it take to aim for a million? Imagine I invested £800 every month and was able to grow it at a of 12%. After 23 years I would have a portfolio worth over £1m. Yes, 23 years is a long time. But I am a long-term investor – and for £800 a month, I think seven figures in that timeframe is a solid return! How to earn 12% per year over the long run A return of 12% might not sound like a lot to aim for. But remember – that is a compound annual growth rate, meaning it includes the bad years as well as the good ones. This is where I think focussing on solid, long-term performers in the stock market can really pay off. Take ( ) as an example. Over the past year, the Ashtead share price has soared 33%. That is not a one-off: its long-term performance is also impressive. Over five years the growth has been 170%. On top of that, the dividend yield is 1.3%. Small beer, perhaps, but compound annual growth includes dividend income as well as share price movement. Also, if I had bought at the lower price five yeas ago, I would currently be earning a markedly higher yield of 3.5%. Does that mean I ought to buy the rental firm for my portfolio now? Not necessarily. I do still like its industry focus, as I expect construction firms will need to keep renting equipment in years to come, though I do see a risk that a weaker economy could hurt demand. I also like Ashtead’s US business as it gives it big economies of scale. Plus its business strategy, which has performed so well, continues to impress me. But after that leap in the Ashtead share price, the valuation attracts me less. I find the company’s of 22 too rich for my appetite. But, as I aim for a million, I am looking for similarly unexciting, well-established, and proven businesses — but at a more exciting valuation!
