PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Former Temple basketball standout Hysier Miller sat for a long interview with the NCAA as it looked into concerns about unusual gambling activity, his lawyer said Friday amid reports a federal probe is now under way. “Hysier Miller fully cooperated with the NCAA’s investigation. He sat for a five-hour interview and answered every question the NCAA asked. He also produced every document the NCAA requested,” lawyer Jason Bologna said in a statement. “Hysier did these things because he wanted to play basketball this season, and he is devastated that he cannot.” Miller, a three-year starter from South Philadelphia, transferred to Virginia Tech this spring. However, the Hokies released him last month due to what the program called “circumstances prior to his enrollment at Virginia Tech.” Bologna declined to confirm that a federal investigation had been opened, as did spokespeople for both the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia. ESPN, citing unnamed sources, reported Thursday that authorities were investigating whether Miller bet on games he played in at Temple, and whether he adjusted his performance accordingly. “Hysier Miller has overcome more adversity in his 22 years than most people face in their lifetime. He will meet and overcome whatever obstacles lay ahead," Bologna said. Miller scored eight points — about half his season average of 15.9 — in a 100-72 loss to UAB on March 7 that was later flagged for unusual betting activity. Temple said it has been aware of those allegations since they became public in March, and has been cooperative. “We have been fully responsive and cooperative with the NCAA since the moment we learned of the investigation,” Temple President John Fry said in a letter Thursday to the school community. However, Fry said Temple had not received any requests for information from state or federal law enforcement agencies. He vowed to cooperate fully if they did. “Coaches, student-athletes and staff members receive mandatory training on NCAA rules and regulations, including prohibitions on involvement in sports wagering," Fry said in the letter. The same week the Temple-UAB game raised concerns, Loyola (Maryland) said it had removed a person from its basketball program after it became aware of a gambling violation. Temple played UAB again on March 17, losing 85-69 in the finals of the American Athletic Conference Tournament. League spokesman Tom Fenstermaker also declined comment on Friday.

The Philadelphia Eagles showed why they are one of the best teams in the league after their dominant win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. The defense held the high-powered Ravens offense to just 19 points, and the offense, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley, showed why they are in the MVP conversation. Philadelphia Eagles Waive Receiver The Eagles waived veteran wide receiver Parris Campbell on Monday following their win, meaning he will likely be signed back on to the practice squad after playing in the game against Baltimore. The #Eagles waived veteran WR Parris Campbell. — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) December 2, 2024 Parris Campbell Career Campbell has been in the league since 2019 and has amounted to 1117 receiving yards and six touchdowns in his career. Before playing for the Eagles, the receiver was on the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Giants, but he has not yet shown that he can be a solid starter in the NFL. His best season came in 2022 with the Colts, when he was able to record 63 catches for 623 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Since then, he only has one touchdown that came this season with Philadelphia. Other team fans like the Washington Commanders have been calling for their favorite squad to look into signing Campbell, as he would add good depth to a roster.

Billionaire Elon Musk ‘s company on Thursday sent a letter to local officials requesting an election to turn what it calls Starbase — the South Texas site where SpaceX builds and launches its massive Starship rockets — into an incorporated city. Residents of the area known as Starbase submitted the petition, according to the company. The area is on the southern tip of Texas at Boca Chica Beach, near the Mexican border. Earlier this year, Musk announced he was moving the headquarters of SpaceX and his social media company X from California to Texas. “To continue growing the workforce necessary to rapidly develop and manufacture Starship, we need the ability to grow Starbase as a community. That is why we are requesting that Cameron County call an election to enable the incorporation of Starbase as the newest city in the Rio Grande Valley,” Kathryn Lueders, the general manager of Starbase, wrote in a letter to the county. It’s not the first time turning Starbase into its own city has been floated. Musk proposed the idea in 2021 when he wrote a social media post that simply said, “Creating the city of Starbase, Texas.” RELATED COVERAGE Texas Rangers and RHP Nathan Eovaldi finalize $75 million, 3-year contract FCS title game going back to Tennessee after 15th championship in a row in Frisco, Texas Heisman finalist Travis Hunter is AP Big 12 defensive player of year and 1st-team pick as receiver Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño Jr., the county’s top elected official, said despite the talks of incorporation in 2021, this was the first time a petition was officially filed. “Our legal and elections administration will review the petition, see whether or not it complied with all of the statutory requirements and then we’ll go from there,” Treviño said on Thursday. More than 3,400 full-time SpaceX employees and contractors work at the Starbase site, according to a local impact study issued by Trevino earlier this year. SpaceX’s rapid expansion in the region has drawn pushback from some locals. Earlier this year, a group called Save RGV sued the company in July over allegations of environmental violations and dumping polluted water into the nearby bay. SpaceX said in response that a state review found no environmental risks and called the lawsuit “frivolous.”
Nawaz Sharif always think for welfare of people: MNA Kheeal
Former quarterback is expected to clear waivers Monday and have a new home on a one-year deal sooner rather than later, league sources told ESPN. No team is expected to claim the balance of Jones' contract -- $11,833,333 for this season in addition to the $23 million in injury guarantees for after this season -- making him officially free to sign with another team after 4 p.m. ET on Monday. Jones, who was officially waived Saturday by the Giants, is expected to have multiple options but likely will prefer to finish this season on a playoff-contending team, where he will be involved in big games, rather than going to a meandering quarterback-needy team not remotely in playoff contention, according to sources. Multiple playoff-contending teams are likely to inquire about Jones and his level of interest, but it will not be long before Jones is finishing out the season somewhere other than New York. on Friday, ending the former first-round draft pick's stint with the Giants after five-plus seasons. Giants owner John Mara said in a statement that the organization and Jones "mutually agreed" that the move "would be best for him and for the team." Once the Giants informed Jones earlier this week that they were benching him, events surrounding the quarterback happened quickly. Jones effectively was no longer on the depth chart because the Giants would not take any risk of an injury, with as their starter, as the backup and the newly signed at third string. Jones took individual reps and even helped out the squad when he played scout-team safety in practice Thursday during a walk-through, before asking for and being granted his release Friday. None of this should have been overly surprising; similar scenarios unfolded four times in the NFL over the past two seasons before the Giants' turn with Jones this week. Last season in Denver, the benched before he could potentially suffer an injury and trigger a $37 million guarantee for 2024. Also last season, the benched rather than risking an injury to the quarterback, which could have guaranteed an additional $11.25 million that would have been due this season. In 2022, the benched Matt Ryan in October, decreasing the risk of having to pay the veteran quarterback a $7.5 million roster bonus in March 2023. Later that year, the Raiders benched to avoid his $32.9 million salary for the 2023 season and $7.5 million of his 2024 salary becoming guaranteed if he suffered a significant injury. Now Jones and the Giants have expedited their divorce, freeing the quarterback to find a new home next week. One team unlikely to pursue Jones right now is the , who already signed former Giants running back . Barkley was selected second overall by the Giants in the 2018 draft -- one year before New York used the No. 6 pick on Jones. The two-time Pro Bowler said he has been in contact with his former teammate and knows there are bright days ahead for Jones. "Our friendship has stayed close throughout the whole process of me being here," Barkley told reporters Friday. "It sucks to see how everything went down for him over there. I've got nothing but great things to say about him. You're not going to really find anybody that can say negative things about him. "It's the NFL. Hopefully, wherever he ends up next, they're going to get a guy who come in and work. It didn't work for me over there, and I'm doing well over here. Hopefully, he can find the same fresh start and success."
By Davide Barbuscia (Reuters) - Investors are hoping President-elect Donald Trump will name a Treasury secretary soon who will assuage their concerns about the Republican's policy promises that have weighed on an already sagging U.S. government bond market. The benchmark U.S. 10-year yield, which moves inversely to bond prices, is hovering near a five-month high as traders fret about the potential for a rebound in inflation and increase in the federal budget deficit from Trump’s economic plans such as tax cuts and import tariffs. More recently, uncertainty over who will fill the Treasury role has added to investor concerns. The latest leg of the Treasury selloff is due to worries over “fiscal concerns, increased spending and (the) Treasury secretary,” said George Catrambone, head of fixed income and trading at DWS. According to a Wall Street Journal report on Thursday, former investment banker Kevin Warsh, who served on the Federal Reserve Board, is one of Trump's Treasury secretary candidates on the understanding that he could later become Fed chairman. That deepened uncertainty and fueled investors’ hopes that a resolution would be quick in coming. Other top candidates include investor Scott Bessent and Apollo Global Management Chief Executive Marc Rowan. Wagers on who will get the job have drawn over $5 million in bets on the Polymarket prediction platform with Warsh in the lead, followed closely by Bessent. The Treasury secretary oversees U.S. economic and tax policy, and Trump's nominee will be tasked with carrying out his plans. As a result, the investment world, from global bond traders to U.S. corporate treasurers, is keenly interested in the individual's economic views and the kind of counsel they will give Trump behind closed doors. Campe Goodman, Wellington Management Company fixed income portfolio manager, said yields would ease if Trump nominated a Treasury secretary who makes a point of addressing worries that key Trump policies will add to the budget deficit and inflation. “I think whoever (Trump) gets is probably going to talk a little more fiscally responsible than the market expects,” he said. “I think he’ll want someone who talks somewhat responsibly.” Analysts at BMO Capital Markets said investor anxiety over the pick has been comparatively subdued because all three top contenders “fall into the category of qualified adults in the room” though the market prefers the question be settled quickly. Investors are also focused on the new administration’s position on Fed independence since central bank policy is a key factor in Treasury price moves. Trump in August said the president should have a "say" in Fed decisions, and according to media reports, his allies have drafted proposals to erode the Fed's independence. "I hope the Fed stays independent because that’s good for the bond market,” said Goodman. (Reporting by Davide Barbuscia; Writing by Ira Iosebashvili; Editing by Cynthia Osterman)
FBI director says he intends to resign at end of Joe Biden’s term
The Office of the Insurance Commission (OIC) has ordered KWI Life Insurance (KWI) to rectify its financial conditions and operations by increasing paid-up capital and refraining from accepting new clients until it meets the legally required capital level. The company failed to increase its capital by the deadline of Nov 29, the OIC said in a statement. The insurer was found to have several operational shortcomings, including prepayment to related companies without clear proof of services, lending money to high-risk companies, investing in real estate with related parties without board approval and withdrawing cash advances without proper documentation. The OIC ordered KWI to take corrective action to meet the capital adequacy ratio. The order includes increasing its paid-up capital by at least 95 million baht by Dec 20, with further increases scheduled on specified dates. The company is also prohibited from undertaking the following actions until its capital funds meet the legal requirements: issuing new insurance policies or expanding coverage of existing policies; engaging in high-risk investments or conducting unauthorised business activities; incurring new obligations except for routine expenses approved by the registrar, with the approval of the OIC (such as employment contracts or business-related expenses); appointing additional insurance agents or brokers; and acquiring the operations of other companies. This ban should prevent potential harm to policyholders and the public, said the regulator, adding KWI's operations will not affect existing insurance coverage or claims under existing policies. Policyholders are assured their entitlements will continue to be honoured, noted the OIC. "The OIC will closely monitor the company's actions. If further violations are detected, legal action will be taken accordingly," said the regulator. The Stock Exchange of Thailand yesterday instructed KWI to clarify facts and effects to the company's financial positions and operating results from the OIC order via SET's disclosure system by Dec 4. The bourse also recommends investors carefully study information before making investment decisions related to KWI.
It was a long and mostly miserable season for Toronto’s veteran reliever Jordan Romano in 2024. He was coming off two All-Star seasons as the Blue Jays closer, had accumulated 95 saves over the previous three seasons, but but as the season trickled through the late spring it became obvious this season wasn’t going to turn out like those other two. He first encountered elbow inflammation issues during spring training, delaying his season start until mid-April. He seemed to pick up where he’d left off in 2023, accumulating four saves in a couple of weeks, but his velocity dropped significantly during a stretch in May and his ERA ballooned to 6.59 before he was finally pulled from action at the end of the month. But before his injury troubles really began to set in on him, there was the memory of the day that he managed his fifth save of the season, coming on May 8 on the road in a day game at Citizens Bank Park. “The place was absolutely sold out,” Romano said Tuesday, recalling the surprise of what even a workday baseball game in South Philadelphia was like. “The atmosphere was electric, and kind of coming off that series, I thought that if I get a chance to play here, I think I’d really enjoy it.” Romano will indeed get that chance, after he was signed Monday to a one-year, $8.5 million contract by Phillies president Dave Dombrowski. While some critics thought the signing was a bit of a gamble with what today is almost like a pocket-change free agent contract, Dombrowski sees in Romano a 31-year-old premier reliever almost back to full health and still in the prime of his career. Before departing the Winter Meetings in Dallas, Dombrowski praised Romano, calling him “one of the best back-end, high-leverage guys in baseball. Our medicals on him have been very good.” On a Zoom call with media members Tuesday, Romano said he was excited to keep progressing in his efforts to recapture his form from a couple of seasons ago. “Last Friday I got off the mound, felt great, mid-90s, for the first bullpen, which i was really excited about,” said Romano. He added that after another few weeks of “deloading” and strength training, he’ll get back to throwing bullpens in January. But he thinks he’s well on his way to full recovery before spring training starts. It was a long road. Romano, 31, would go on IL on June 1, and after another setback during rehab finally underwent elbow surgery in July. His rehab after that didn’t go well, either, and after initial optimism that he’d be returning sometime in August, the call was made to let him continue to rehab while the Blue Jays were quickly playing themselves out of contention. “The whole plan last year was never really to come back at the end of the year. We were just going to take it a little bit ... not even slower, just follow the timeline with that,” said Romano, a native of Markham, Ontario. “I want to get back on track, I’m feeling healthy and good now so I just want to have the one year to get back out there and prove my worth.” Before meeting any of his teammates, Romano can feel comfortable knowing that his manager, Rob Thomson, is a fellow Ontarian. But Thomson isn’t being provincial in his thinking about Romano’s role here – there were no fast promises of giving a closer role to Romano. Thomson doesn’t like to use that “closer” term anyway. Instead, the plan for Romano is to help in “high-leverage” situations, especially since both Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez are currently on the free agency market themselves. The Phillies now have Romano to go with fellow right-hander Orion Kerkering and left-handers Matt Strahm and Jose Alvarado as back-end bullpen weapons. “I’m just kind of going in and wherever I can, help,” Romano said. “If they want me to throw the ninth, you know, I do love closing. I have experience there and I’m happy to do it. But if they need me in other spots, too, I’m happy to do that. “I’m kind of just there to help get big outs wherever they need them.”None
