Game of the week No. 14 BYU (9-1, 6-1 Big 12, No. 14 CFP) at No. 21 Arizona State (8-2, 5-2, No. 21), Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN) League newcomer Arizona State has a three-game winning streak and BYU is coming off its first loss. The Cougars, after losing at home to Kansas, still control their own destiny in making the Big 12 championship game. They can clinch a spot in that Dec. 7 game as early as Saturday, if they win and instate rival Utah wins at home against No. 22 Iowa State. Arizona State was picked at the bottom of the 16-team league in the preseason media poll, but already has a five-win improvement in coach Kenny Dillingham's second season. The undercard No. 16 Colorado (8-2, 6-1, No. 16 CFP) at Kansas (4-6, 3-4), Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET (Fox) Coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes are in prime position to make the Big 12 title game in their return to the league after 13 seasons in the Pac-12. If BYU and Utah win, Colorado would be able to claim the other title game spot with a win over Kansas. The Buffs have a four-game winning streak.

Inside the numbers Oklahoma State goes into its home finale against Texas Tech with a seven-game losing streak, its longest since a nine-game skid from 1977-78.

Devin Neal, the career rushing leader at his hometown university, is 74 yards shy of being the first Kansas player with three 1,000-yard seasons.

The real estate market in Paris has always been a hot topic, with property values constantly fluctuating based on various factors such as location, size, and amenities. In the latest update, two prominent figures in the industry have seen significant changes in their property valuations.As the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers set out to reach the opposite end of the PA Turnpike to compete in the " Pennsylvania State Championship ", the fact that they have not won an away game against their interstate rivals since 1965 must loom large. The last time the Steelers beat their Week 15 opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles, in Philadelphia, Bill Nelsen quarterbacked the team to a 20-14 victory in October of 1965. Nelsen got injured when the teams had a rematch eight weeks later, and his backup went on to throw seven interceptions in a game which took place 59 years ago on Dec. 12, 1965 — and that began a streak of 10 straight losses in Philly for the intruders from Western PA. While celebrated head coach Mike Tomlin and his no-nonsense attitude will no doubt put zero stock into that statistic, the fact remains that his teams have historically not done any better in Philadelphia than Pittsburgh’s two other legendary coaches. The Last time the Steelers visited the City of Brotherly Love in 2022, the Eagles battered them, 35-13, as elite wideout A.J. Brown racked up 156 yards and three touchdowns. That brought the all-time series record to 49-29-3, making Philly one of the few teams Pittsburgh has a losing record against. To make matters worse, the Steelers’ own star wide receiver George Pickens is expected to miss Sunday’s game , which could devastate Pittsburgh’s offensive production in a way similar to what happens to the defense when T.J. Watt misses games. That certainly contributes to the betting line; Vegas currently has the Eagles as 4.5-point favorites, predicting them to push their streak into its 60th year and beyond. Breaking that trend would mean a lot, but the real prize for a win on Sunday in Philly? That would be clinching a playoff spot , as well as the guarantee of being at least two games ahead in the AFC North when the Steelers roll into Baltimore for another crucial game next Saturday.

In conclusion, the decision of medium and small-sized banks to raise deposit interest rates in the face of challenging market conditions is a strategic move that can yield positive results in the long run. By attracting more deposits, diversifying their funding sources, enhancing customer loyalty, and staying competitive, these banks are setting themselves up for success in the years to come. It will be interesting to see how this trend plays out in the coming months and whether other banks will follow suit in raising their deposit interest rates.

The world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, said a portfolio allocation of up to 2% is "reasonable" for investors who wish to hold Bitcoin, in their latest Investment Perspectives report. They begin the report by noting that "bitcoin cannot be compared to traditional assets," but from a portfolio construction perspective, Samara Cohen (CIO of ETFs) and her team suggest that the so-called "Magnificent 7" group of mega-cap tech stocks is a useful starting point. "Those stocks represent single portfolio holdings that account for a comparatively large share of portfolio risk as with bitcoin. In a traditional portfolio with a mix of 60% stocks and 40% bonds, those seven stocks each account for, on average, about the same share of overall portfolio risk as a 1-2% allocation to bitcoin . We think that’s a reasonable range for a bitcoin exposure." As with gold, bitcoin can be driven by sentiment, narratives and momentum – both up and down. Why not more, they ask (and answer): "Going beyond that would sharply increase bitcoin’s share of the overall portfolio risk." With approximately $11.5 trillion in assets under management (and manager of the largest spot BTC ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which holds net assets of nearly $54 billion), they are worth listening to. According to BlackRock, investors "need to think about Bitcoin’s expected returns in a different way: it has no underlying cash flows for estimating future returns. What matters: the extent of adoption ." "Bitcoin may also provide a more diversified source of return,” BlackRock said, adding: "We see no intrinsic reason why Bitcoin should be correlated with major risk assets over the long term given its value is driven by such distinct drivers." Longer term, BTC "could potentially also become less risky – but at that point it might no longer have a structural catalyst for further sizable price increases," the report said. Instead, "investors may prefer to use it tactically to hedge against specific risks, similar to gold." Launched in January, spot BTC ETFs emerged as 2024’s most popular investment vehicles, breaking $100 billion in net assets in November. As CoinTelegraph reports , these surging inflows from institutional investors could cause “demand shocks” in 2025 , driving up BTC’s spot price, according to a Dec. 12 report by Sygnum Bank. “Our analysis shows how even relatively modest allocations from this segment can fundamentally alter the crypto asset ecosystem ,” Sygnum said. The report, dubbed 'Sizing Bitcoin in portfolios', was released by BlackRock Investment Institute on Dec. 12.First treatment in 50 years for serious asthma attacks is ‘game-changer’

The report from the Justice Department inspector general’s office knocks down a fringe conspiracy theory advanced by some Republicans in Congress that the FBI played a role in instigating the events that day, when rioters determined to overturn Republican Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden stormed the building in a violent clash with police. The review, released nearly four years after a dark chapter in history that shook the bedrock of American democracy, was narrow in scope, but aimed to shed light on gnawing questions that have dominated public discourse, including whether major intelligence failures preceded the riot and whether the FBI in some way provoked the violence. Rioters loyal to Donald Trump gather Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol in Washington. The report offers a mixed assessment of the FBI’s performance in the run-up to the riot, crediting the bureau for preparing for the possibility of violence and for trying to identify known “domestic terrorism subjects” who planned to come to Washington that day. But it said the FBI, in an action the now-deputy director described as a “basic step that was missed,” failed to canvass informants across all 56 of its field offices for any relevant intelligence. That was a step, the report concluded, “that could have helped the FBI and its law enforcement partners with their preparations in advance of January 6.” The report found 26 FBI informants were in Washington for election-related protests on Jan. 6, including three who were tasked with traveling to the city to report on others who were potentially planning to attend the day’s events. While four informants entered the Capitol, none were authorized to do so by the bureau or to break the law, the report said. Rioters storm the West Front of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. Many of the 26 informants provided the FBI with information before the riot, but it “was no more specific than, and was consistent with, other sources of information” that the FBI acquired. The FBI said in a letter responding to the report that it accepts the inspection general’s recommendation “regarding potential process improvements for future events.” The lengthy review was launched days after the riot as the FBI faced questions over whether it had missed warning signs or adequately disseminated intelligence it received, including a Jan. 5, 2021, bulletin prepared by the FBI’s Norfolk, Virginia, field office that warned of the potential for “war” at the Capitol. The inspector general found the information in that bulletin was broadly shared. FBI Director Chris Wray, who announced this week his plans to resign at the end of Biden’s term in January, defended his agency’s handing of the intelligence report. He told lawmakers in 2021 that the report was disseminated though the joint terrorism task force, discussed at a command post in Washington and posted on an internet portal available to other law enforcement agencies. “We did communicate that information in a timely fashion to the Capitol Police and (Metropolitan Police Department) in not one, not two, but three different ways,” Wray said at the time. FBI Director Christopher Wray speaks March 11 during a hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington. Separately, the report said the FBI’s New Orleans field office was told by a source between November 2020 and early January 2021 that protesters were planning to station a “quick reaction force” in northern Virginia “to be armed and prepared to respond to violence that day in DC, if necessary.” That information was shared with the FBI’s Washington Field Office, members of intelligence agencies and some federal law enforcement agencies the day before the riot, the inspector general found. But there was no indication the FBI told northern Virginia police about the information, the report said. An FBI official told the inspector general there was “nothing actionable or immediately concerning about it.” A cache of weapons at a Virginia hotel as part of a “quick reaction force” was a central piece of the Justice Department’s seditious conspiracy case against Oath Keeper leader Stewart Rhodes and other members of the far-right extremist group. Trump supporters, including Douglas Jensen, center, confront U.S. Capitol Police on Jan. 6, 2021, in the hallway outside of the Senate chamber at the Capitol in Washington. The conspiracy theory that federal law enforcement officers entrapped members of the mob has been spread in conservative circles, including by some Republican lawmakers. Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., recently suggested on a podcast that agents pretending to be Trump supporters were responsible for instigating the violence. Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who withdrew as Trump’s pick as attorney general amid scrutiny over sex trafficking allegations, sent a letter to Wray in 2021 asking how many undercover agents or informants were at the Capitol on Jan. 6 and if they were “merely passive informants or active instigators.” Wray said the “notion that somehow the violence at the Capitol on January 6 was part of some operation orchestrated by FBI sources and agents is ludicrous.” Rioters scale a wall at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington.

One of the key policy tools at the disposal of the central bank is the manipulation of interest rates. Lowering interest rates can encourage borrowing and spending, which in turn spurs economic activity. By reducing the cost of borrowing, businesses are incentivized to invest in new projects and consumers are more likely to make large purchases. This can have a cascading effect on various sectors of the economy, leading to increased employment and higher overall consumption.
