UCF will attempt to shake off a dreadful offensive performance when it collides with LSU on Sunday afternoon in the third-place game of the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. The Knights (4-1) couldn't get anything going against No. 19 Wisconsin on Friday, going 21-for-62 from the field (33.9 percent) and just 2-for-17 from 3-point range (11.8 percent) en route to an 86-70 loss. Jordan Ivy-Curry finished with 13 points while Keyshawn Hall and Dior Johnson added 11 apiece for UCF, which never led and fell behind by as many as 23. Knights coach Johnny Dawkins is hoping that his team's struggles don't carry over into the meeting with the Tigers (4-1). "We have to do better offensively," Dawkins said. "We have to space the floor better. We have to balance our offense between our perimeter and our bigs. Those are things that we didn't do consistently (on Friday)." LSU also needs to clean things up after committing 15 turnovers in a 74-63 setback against Pitt on Friday. Tigers forward Jalen Reed doesn't believe giving the ball away will be a lingering issue. "I feel like a lot of our turnovers were more on us than them," Reed said. "I feel like a lot of the turnovers were careless, but we're a better team than that and I feel like we'll take care of the ball better moving forward." Reed and Vyctorius Miller each posted 14 points in the loss to the Panthers, with Reed also hauling in seven rebounds. Cam Carter chipped in 11 points. Carter is putting up a team-leading 16.4 points per game. Jordan Sears (12.0 points per game), Reed (11.0) and Miller (10.2) also have scoring averages in double figures. Ivy-Curry (16.8 points per game), Hall (16.2) and Darius Johnson (13.0) have been leading the way for UCF. Sunday marks the first-ever meeting between the Knights and Tigers. --Field Level Media

TEHRAN - In a note, Arman-e-Melli discussed the revival of the negotiations and wrote: Now it seems that the situation is changing. The head of the new government in the U.S. is the same person who quit the JCPOA. Nevertheless, Tehran has declared that it will support negotiations with the U.S. if it meets Iran’s interests. Tehran does not shun negotiations to protect its interests even with the United States. This time Iran is the pioneer in this regard. It seems the Europeans think they will practically be sidelined after the Trump administration starts its work on January 20. Therefore, they are trying to revive their mediation role between Iran and the United States in the Trump administration to create a new playing field for themselves in order not to fall behind the power distribution in the world in the future. Europe should not tie Ukraine to its relations with Iran more than this. Iran should also try to convince Europe that it has no benefit in the fight against Ukraine and has never supported the tension in Europe. These negotiations can be the basis of the new JCPOA, and the parties will not allow more tension in bilateral relations with continuous negotiations on a new nuclear deal. All signatories to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) have the right to use nuclear technology for human welfare to improve living standards and share technological know-how with other countries. However, countries with nuclear technology have formed a club for themselves and do not allow other countries to join. In addition, they do not fulfill their duty to provide nuclear technology to other countries and make false accusations against other countries like Iran in order to deprive them of the benefits of peaceful nuclear energy. We will not allow our right to civilian use of nuclear technology to be denied. The Islamic Republic of Iran is decisive in this regard, and ultimately the International Atomic Energy Agency must change its approach and not prevent us from enjoying this right by raising ambiguities about our nuclear program. Siasat-e-Rooz dedicated its editorial to the negotiations between Iran and the European troika that will start on Friday and said: It is clear that in the current situation that less than a year is left for the expiration of the nuclear agreement, negotiations with Europe without the participation of the United States cannot be politically logical. Maybe due to the lack of political logic in the past years, and there is no trust in them. Currently, building nuclear weapons is not part of Iran's military doctrine. But the West should note that if wrong policies against Iran continue, the possibility of building nuclear arms cannot be ruled out. In fact, the approach the West has taken against Islamic Iran is not diplomatic. Rather they are forcing Iran to build nuclear weapons. In the process of negotiations that are supposed to be held after the resolution of the Board of Governors against Iran, the Iranian negotiators should not show weakness. They should enter the negotiation with strength. Either way, the negotiations will not produce results, and even if they reach an agreement, it will be to the detriment of Iran, just like the previous agreements. In an interview with Hamidreza Jalaeipour, a reformist political activist, Ettelaat discussed possible negotiations between Iran and the United States. He said: In the deeper and more strategic cooperation of the Islamic Republic with Arab and Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia, it is enough to pay attention to the recent trips of Foreign Minister Araghchi. Also, during his visit to the United Nations, Pezeshkian defended the interaction with all world powers. On the other hand, we can point out the recent cooperation of the Islamic Republic with the authorities of Lebanon and Hezbollah and the declaration of Iran's readiness for new negotiations with the United States on various issues. It may be said that America and Europe are not yet ready to negotiate with the Islamic Republic, yet the important thing is that, unlike the past, Iran is ready for direct negotiations with America. What is obvious is that the sanctions and threats of America and Europe against Iran do not work, but increase the capacity of Iran's nuclear power. The solution to problems is negotiation, and Trump himself understands this a little bit. If Iran enters talks with America and Europe, then the Islamic Republic can better interact with China and Russia.BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Keith Higgins Jr. had 22 points to lead Lehigh to an 87-67 victory over Neumann on Sunday. Higgins added eight rebounds for the Mountain Hawks (5-6). Tyler Whitney-Sidney shot 7 for 12 (2 for 5 from 3-point range) and 3 of 3 from the free-throw line to add 19 points. Cam Gillus scored 10. Mike Smith III led the Knights with 15 points. Gary Francis added 12 points and DJ Earl had 12 points and three steals. Led by 13 points from Higgins before the break, Lehigh entered halftime tied with Neumann 42-42. Lehigh pulled away with a 9-0 run in the second half to extend a nine-point lead to 18 points. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .NoneThe Centre for Ageing Better said data analysed on its behalf suggested more than a fifth of people in this age group are living in a poor-quality home that could be making their existing health condition worse. It said people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, those living in London and those who have a serious health condition or disability are more likely to be affected. Data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing covering 2022/23 was analysed by the National Centre for Social Research on behalf of the charity. It found an estimated 4.5 million people aged 50 or older in England with a health condition aggravated by the cold are living in a home with one or more serious problems. Some 2.8 million were aged between 50 and 70, while 1.7 million were aged 70 and older. Health conditions included respiratory diseases, congestive heart failure, heart disease and lung conditions, including asthma. Housing problems identified in the research included damp, water leaks, bad condensation, electrical or plumbing problems, rot and decay. While some 2.2 million people over 50 with health and housing problems owned their home outright, the biggest proportion of people (51%) with such issues lived in rented accommodation. The charity said older renters with a health condition were up to three times more likely to have five or more issues with their home than someone in the same age group who owns their home. Those with a health condition that can be affected by poor housing who had a significant issue in their homes were most likely to live in London (52%) followed by the North East (35%) and the North West (35%), the West Midlands and the East of England (both on 28%), and the South West (27%). Almost half (46%) of people aged 50 and above from black and minority ethnic backgrounds with one of the health conditions had at least one problem with their home, which the charity said amounted to almost 500,000 people. Among white people in this age group it was just under one in three (32%). The research also suggested people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds living with a health condition were also more than twice as likely to have five or more issues with their housing compared with their white counterparts – 15% compared with 6%. Dr Carole Easton, the charity’s chief executive, said not only does the research show the difficulties faced by those living in poor housing, but it is also “very bad news” for both the economy and the NHS. She said: “Our latest research shows that our poor-quality housing crisis is putting people with health conditions in their 50s, 60s and beyond, in harm’s way. “This is obviously terrible for those individuals who live in homes that carry a very real risk of making them sick, particularly when winter comes around. “But it is also very bad news for the country. Older workers living in homes that are making their health conditions worse are going to be less likely to be able to work and help grow the economy. “Older people whose serious health conditions are made worse by their homes will require treatment, putting additional winter pressures on our health system. “All could be averted if we tackled poor-quality housing with the urgency and priority it demands.” Holly Holder, deputy director for homes at the charity, said the Government must “fix this hidden housing crisis by delivering a national strategy to tackle poor quality housing across all tenures and committing to halving the number of non-decent homes over the next decade”. She added: “No-one should have to live in a home that damages their health, yet it is the norm for far too many people in England today. “By failing to address poor-quality homes we are limiting the lives of some of the country’s poorest and most vulnerable people. “Our new analysis shows that the combination of health and house problems are most likely to impact groups of people who are already disadvantaged by multiple health and wealth inequalities.” A Government spokesperson said: “Despite the challenging inheritance faced by this Government, through our Plan for Change we’re taking action to improve housing conditions across all tenures and ensure homes are decent, safe and warm – especially for the most vulnerable. “We’re consulting on reforms to the Decent Homes Standard next year to improve the quality of social and privately rented housing, and introducing Awaab’s Law to both sectors to tackle damp, dangerous and cold conditions for all renters in England. “Our warm homes plan will also help people find ways to save money on energy bills and deliver cleaner heating, with up to 300,000 households to benefit from upgrades next year.”

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes got back to climbing on Wednesday after the latest update on inflation appeared to clear the way for more help for the economy from the Federal Reserve . The S&P 500 rose 0.8% to break its first two-day losing streak in nearly a month and finished just short of its all-time high. Big Tech stocks led the way, which drove the Nasdaq composite up 1.8% to top the 20,000 level for the first time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, lagged the market with a dip of 99 points, or 0.2%. Stocks got a boost as expectations built that Wednesday’s inflation data will allow the Fed to deliver another cut to interest rates at its meeting next week. Traders are betting on a nearly 99% probability of that, according to data from CME Group, up from 89% a day before. If they’re correct, it would be a third straight cut by the Fed after it began lowering rates in September from a two-decade high. It’s hoping to support a slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower rates would give a boost to the economy and to prices for investments, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. “The data have given the Fed the ‘all clear’ for next week, and today’s inflation data keep a January cut in active discussion,” according to Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Expectations for a series of cuts to rates by the Fed have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times this year , with the latest coming last week. The biggest boosts for the index on Wednesday came from Nvidia and other Big Tech stocks. Their massive growth has made them Wall Street’s biggest stars for years, though other kinds of stocks have recently been catching up somewhat amid hopes for the broader U.S. economy. Tesla jumped 5.9% to finish above $420 at $424.77. It’s a level that Elon Musk made famous in a 2018 tweet when he said he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share . Stitch Fix soared 44.3% after the company that sends clothes to your door reported a smaller loss for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It also gave financial forecasts for the current quarter that were better than expected, including for revenue. GE Vernova rallied 5% for one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500. The energy company that spun out of General Electric said it would pay a 25 cent dividend every three months, and it approved a plan to send up to another $6 billion to its shareholders by buying back its own stock. On the losing end of Wall Street, Dave & Buster’s Entertainment tumbled 20.1% after reporting a worse loss for the latest quarter than expected. It also said CEO Chris Morris has resigned, and the board has been working with an executive-search firm for the last few months to find its next permanent leader. Albertsons fell 1.5% after filing a lawsuit against Kroger, saying it didn’t do enough for their proposed $24.6 billion merger agreement to win regulatory clearance. Albertsons said it’s seeking billions of dollars in damages from Kroger, whose stock rose 1%. A day earlier, judges in separate cases in Oregon and Washington nixed the supermarket giants’ merger. The grocers contended a combination could have helped them compete with big retailers like Walmart, Costco and Amazon, but critics said it would hurt competition. After terminating the merger agreement with Kroger, Albertsons said it plans to boost its dividend 25% and increased the size of its program to buy back its own stock. Macy’s slipped 0.8% after cutting some of its financial forecasts for the full year of 2024, including for how much profit it expects to make off each $1 of revenue. All told, the S&P 500 rose 49.28 points to 6,084.19. The Dow dipped 99.27 to 44,148.56, and the Nasdaq composite rallied 347.65 to 20,034.89. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.27% from 4.23% late Tuesday. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, edged up to 4.15% from 4.14%. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was an outlier and slipped 0.8% as Chinese leaders convened an annual planning meeting in Beijing that is expected to set economic policies and growth targets for the coming year. South Korea’s Kospi rose 1%, up for a second straight day as it climbs back following last week’s political turmoil where its president briefly declared martial law. AP Writers Matt Ott and Zimo Zhong contributed.

Who is the last Democrat presidential candidate to win Texas? The answer: Jimmy Carter. His 1976 victory over Gerald Ford in Texas signaled the last gasp for a Lone Star Democratic Party already on the ropes. In 1968, Richard Nixon’s southern strategy had already jump-started the movement of conservative Democrats to the Republican Party. And Lyndon B. Johnson’s push for civil rights legislation years earlier started the migration of white southerners from the Democratic Party. After the Watergate scandal led to Nixon’s resignation, Carter won big for Democrats in 1976. It was hoped that he would usher in a new era of Democratic Party stars, particularly because he was largely unknown to most Americans — and Texans — when he defeated Ford. Carter’s rise in Texas was remarkable. He ran in a Democratic primary that included U.S. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, the state’s favorite son candidate. While most Texans supported Bentsen, a young Democrat and Dallas lawyer named Martin Frost backed Carter, becoming his North Texas campaign coordinator. “The Carter campaign was willing to listen to local people,” Frost said. “The campaign also involved some younger people and their new ideas, instead of just using the same old folks. ... We knew it was going to be close. And it was very close, and of course, Carter was the last Democrat to carry the state of Texas for president.” Once Carter became the Democratic Party nominee, Frost said his Texas aides took an out-of-the box approach to challenging Ford in Texas. In one instance, Frost directed Carter to speak to a group of Dallas-area businessmen instead of a group of ministers. That turned out to be a fortunate decision, because before the meeting the infamous "Playboy" article was published in which Carter said, “I’ve looked on a lot of women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times.” “That’s the only thing that would have been in the story,” Frost said. “It turned out to be the right decision.” On the Sunday before the 1976 general election, Carter went to Fort Worth, then a Democratic Party stronghold, rather than the GOP environs of Dallas. The large rally attracted 10,000 people at the Fort Worth Convention Center. Carter was also popular with many Black voters because of his association with the family of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. “Carter was a southerner, but he had strong support in the Black community in addition to being a fairly moderate Democrat,” Frost said. “That made it possible for him to win.” Just as quickly as Carter rose as a Democratic Party champion, his 1980 loss to Ronald Reagan changed the course of politics, especially in southern states like Texas. “The biggest turn came with Ronald Reagan,” said 5th Court of Appeals Justice Ken Molberg, who helped Carter win Texas against Ford. “Once Carter lost in such dramatic fashion, things really started to change.” The Reagan revolution and Carter’s collapse accelerated the exodus of conservatives from the Democratic Party. In time, folks like Rick Perry, a former Democrat, switched to the GOP and thrived. Perry would go on to be Texas governor. Democrats hung in there for a while. As late as 1990 Ann Richards had a high-profile win for Texas governor. But that was essentially the end of the line for a party that had dominated Texas politics since it became a state. George W. Bush upended Richards in 1994. And that year marked the last time a Democrat won a statewide office. The gut-punch for Democrats came in 2003, when Republicans took control of the Texas House for the first time since Reconstruction. Just as Reagan became a hero for the conservative movement, Carter was a symbol of the Democratic Party’s decline. The Texas Democratic Party is now dominated by Black and Hispanic leaders. Once plentiful in the Texas Legislature, there are only a few white male Democrats left. Small town Texas was once heavily controlled by Democrats. Not any more. Despite the 1980 loss, many Texas Democrats have fond memories of Carter. Frost said Carter took advantage of what was needed at the time of his rise. “He was the right guy in the right place at the right time,” he said. “The country wanted somebody after Watergate. They wanted somebody fresh. They wanted an honest guy, and Carter happened to fit that description.” Carter, Frost added, had success as a president. “He played a tremendously instrumental role in bringing up peace between Israel and Egypt. And he did the right thing in terms of our relations with Latin America,” Frost said. “Not only was he pro-civil rights, but he was also pro-democracy. He had a lot of appeal.” After a failed 1974 congressional race, Frost used his experience with the 1976 Carter campaign to try another run for public office. “Based on my experience in ‘76, and the fact that I made some correct judgments in terms of what we should do this campaign. I decided I’d give this another shot,” he said. “So I ran again in ‘78, and I won.” Frost represented the Dallas area in the U.S. House from 1979 to 2005. When asked whether Carter endorsed his former North Texas campaign director for Congress, Frost replied: “Let’s just say that his name was invoked.” Molberg remembers Carter as a “genuinely nice man” and an underrated president. A former chairman of the Dallas County Democratic Party and veteran of many political campaigns, Molberg wasn’t always a Carter supporter. “In 1980, I was part of Ted Kennedy’s insurgency,” he said. “I was fighting against Jimmy Carter, but then I fought to help him win Texas against Ford.” Molberg says the culture wars of the last two decades have helped Republicans hold their power. But he adds demographic shifts and progressive issues, like the need for affordable health care and an economy that works for all Americans, could help to turn Texas blue. Democrats have already rebounded in Dallas and Harris counties and are making inroads in other parts of North Texas. Molberg’s 2018 election to the Dallas-based 5th Court of Appeals was something a Democrat couldn’t achieve early in the decade. That’s something Carter would appreciate. ©2024 The Dallas Morning News. Visit dallasnews.com . Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.None
