One of the top women's Basketball games in the country is going down in Chapel Hill today between No. 14 North Carolina and No. 25 Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets are 10-0 to start this season, while the Tar Heels are 10-1. It is the conference opener for both teams and getting a 1-0 start in ACC play would be huge for both teams. The Yellow Jackets are coming off of a 60-point win over ULM earlier this week and also had a dominant win over Mercer last Sunday.
The Yellow Jackets look to extend their win streak to 11 games after defeating Louisiana Monroe last Wednesday, 97-37. The 60-point rout was the largest margin of victory since 2011 as four different Yellow Jackets reached double-figures to help seal the win. Rusne Augustinaite led the way offensively with 17 points, connecting of five from three-point distance. For the fourth time this season, Tech finished with 10 or more three-pointers, draining 14 in the win.
North Carolina comes into Sunday’s matinee with a 10-1 ledger and its only loss coming against No. 2 UConn. The Tar Heels are 6-0 when competing at home and carry a seven-game win streak into ACC play. Alyssa Ustby leads UNC with 11.6 points and 9.2 rebounds per game on average.
Here is how you can watch today's game.

The challenges ahead are myriad as the government seeks to keep Syria running while preparing for transition.
After toppling the regime of Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) leader and commander-in-chief of the new administration, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has appointed Mohammed al-Bashir to lead a caretaker government until March 1.
The move aims to stabilise the country by providing basic services to civilians and preventing a power struggle between armed groups over state resources and ministries, experts told Al Jazeera.

“[A caretaker government is needed] to ensure the state keeps functioning and that people have electricity, water sewage and the internet,” said Thomas Pierret, an expert on Syria for the Institute for Research and Study of the Arab and Muslim World.
However, the caretaker government – and HTS – could lose credibility if it refuses to share power after three months, experts have warned.
Here’s what we know about the caretaker government and its head:
The head of the caretaker government is a technocrat who headed the Syrian Salvation Government (SSG) in Idlib, a province in northwest Syria.
After the Syrian uprising erupted in March 2011, Idlib became an opposition stronghold. By 2017, HTS consolidated control and created the SSG out of civilian technocrats.

“Mohammed al-Bashir … has done a reasonably good job in Idlib,” said Robin Yassin-Kassab, an expert on Syria and the co-author of Burning Country: Syrians in Revolution and in War.
“I understand that it makes sense to scale [the Salvation Government] up to the whole of Syria, for now,” he added.
Al-Bashir’s background in electrical engineering, project management and administrative planning suggests he has the professional know-how to maintain basic services in the country, analysts said.
He first emerged as a minister in the HTS-backed Salvation government in 2021, according to the caretaker government’s official website
For two years, he served as the head of development and humanitarian affairs, according to Assaad Al Achi, executive director of Baytna, a non-governmental organisation that supported local civil society groups in Syria throughout the war.
“He was definitely interested in humanitarian work because that’s where the money was,” Al Achi said, referencing the SSG’s policy of taxing aid organisations.
On January 13, 2024, the Shura Council in Idlib elected al-Bashir as prime minister of the SSG.

Al-Bashir has told Al Jazeera Arabic that, for the time being, the ministers from the SSG would take over the national ministerial portfolios. The current ministerial lineup is:

Despite al-Bashir’s prominent role, Al Achi does not believe the caretaker prime minister has ambitions to consolidate power over Syria.
“What worries me is if [this caretaker government] extends [its term] for more than three months, but if it just for three months … then that’s alright,” he said.
Experts are concerned that HTS will try to rule all of Syria with an iron fist.
According to a report by the Syrian Network for Human Rights, HTS subjected critics and opponents to enforced disappearances and tortured people to death.
Al Jazeera asked the HTS media office to respond to these allegations, but they had not commented by the time of publication.

The caretaker government and HTS could ease concerns of a power grab by proposing a roadmap detailing when negotiations with other stakeholders would begin ahead of forming a broader coalition, Yassin-Kassab told Al Jazeera.
He added that a plan should aim to implement UN Security Council Resolution 2254, which calls for a transitional period of 18 months, during which an inclusive coalition will draft a constitution and prepare for elections under United Nations supervision.
“[HTS] need to say this is the beginning of a process that will involve every aspect of society and all political leaderships,” said Yassin-Kassab.
“That would reassure Syrians and the international community and give the new government much more legitimacy.”

Syria’s economy is in tatters – the World Bank ranks its gross domestic product (GDP) at 129 out of 196 states.
HTS managed to raise revenue during its rule in Idlib by taxing residents, as well as goods and relief passing through from the Turkish border. However, it is unclear whether the group has enough finances to bolster the economy and supply basic provisions in the short to medium term.
Experts believe HTS can be incentivised to share power by linking sanction relief to political reforms.
Syria is on the United States list of “countries that sponsor terrorism” and, on top of that, HTS is considered a “foreign terrorist organisation” by the European Union, Turkiye and the US.
The EU and US have also sanctioned much of the Syrian economy, including the energy sector and the trading of goods related to technology or electricity provision, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW).
It’s imperative that HTS shares power with other stakeholders and civil society in order to convince Syrians and the international community that the group has changed, argues Yassin-Kassab.
“[I]t remains to be seen if this is the beginning of a power grab by HTS and HTS-aligned civilian bodies,” he told Al Jazeera.
“I certainly hope not.”

The COVID-19 pandemic may seem like a distant memory, but pandemic-related insurance litigation lives on. Last Friday a judge denied the Philadelphia Eagles’ motion for reconsideration in their case against Factory Mutual Insurance. 
Sportico detailed the lawsuit in 2022. Like other NFL teams in 2020, the Eagles were forced to close or modify operations on account of the pandemic and government lockdown orders. The Eagles had an insurance policy with Factory Mutual for Lincoln Financial Field, which seats about 67,000 plus features a standing room section. Although the NFL managed to play the 2020 regular season in spite of the pandemic, the Eagles initially played games without fans, then could allow 7,500, only to see fans prohibited again when COVID-19 rates surged in mid-November. The Eagles filed an insurance coverage claim for the pandemic-related financial losses, which Factory Mutual denied. The Eagles, in turn, sued.

As Factory Mutual saw the policy, an eligible loss “must directly result from physical loss or damage.” Although COVID-19 is a disease caused by a virus that can be seen under a microscope, Factory Mutual insisted its presence does not constitute physical loss or damage in a logical sense. The Eagles disagreed, asserting that viral droplets “expelled from infected individuals could have been present in the air” and then landed on and attached to surfaces. Earlier this year, U.S. District Judge Michael Baylson granted Factory Mutual’s motion to dismiss. 
The Eagles motioned Baylson to reconsider, but he denied the motion in Friday’s order. 
The judge stressed that a “physical alteration” to an insured property is a threshold requirement for the policy to apply. Baylson reasoned the Eagles “have not plausibly pled physical disappearance, physical deterioration, or absence of physical function of the insured properties.” The team has shown it sustained economic loss—revenue from hundreds of thousands of fans who would have attended games and paid for parking, merchandise, concessions etc.—but not in a way that sufficiently connects to insurance coverage. Prohibiting or restricting attendance at games and related government orders “had nothing to do with the physical attributes” of Lincoln Financial Field, the judge wrote in quoting an analogous court ruling.
Baylson also wasn’t persuaded by the Eagles’ argument that its losses were connected to a physical condition at the stadium. The Eagles insisted “the actual or threatened presence of COVID-19 at its stadium nearly eliminated or destroyed the stadium’s core function,” but the judge reasoned that depiction doesn’t establish a connection to the property’s physical attributes.

Baylson highlighted precedent from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit regarding physical loss or damage from COVID-19. In 2023, the court found that “loss of use caused by government edict and untethered to the physical condition of the premises” doesn’t count as a “physical loss or damage to the properties.” Even when a property owner loses the ability to use property for its intended purpose, that doesn’t necessarily render the property “useless or inhabitable,” the Third Circuit stressed. 
To that point, Baylson noted that Lincoln Financial Field reopened for the 2020 NFL season with limited attendance. The judge reasoned that development is consistent with the idea that government orders, rather than COVID-19 itself, “were the source seriously affecting the property’s functionality.” Along those lines, while COVID-19 might have been in the air or on surfaces, that didn’t make it so “physically dangerous” to be inside Lincoln Financial Field that the building became useless.
The Eagles can appeal Baylson’s order. The team has enjoyed more success on the field in 2024 than in its litigation against Factory Mutual. The 11-2 Eagles are first place in the NFC East and host the 10-3 Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. A full house is expected at Lincoln Financial Field.

The CEO of digital assets-focused investment firm Pantera Capital says his firm owns a handful of other crypto in addition to Bitcoin (BTC).
In a new CNBC interview, Dan Morehead says that he thinks Bitcoin and crypto still have more room to the upside this cycle.
Morehead notes that his firm has accumulated positions in three altcoins including the layer-1 protocol Solana (SOL).
“The fun thing about crypto is we’ve been doing this for 11 years, and Bitcoin has a little bit more than doubled this year…
On average, it has done that for 11 years in a row. So crypto going up double is not remarkable. We’re normally long because the markets are going to go up another huge amount, another order of magnitude possibly. 
We’re typically long. We’re always just looking at which other tokens are interesting. We have a big position in TON, Telegram’s token, Solana, ONDO. Those are some of ours.”  
In May of this year, Morehead revealed that Toncoin (TON) is Pantera Capital’s “largest investment ever.” According to Morehead, TON is in a unique position to leverage Telegram’s 900 million monthly active users.
“99.999% of blockchain projects are a tech idea trying to create a community – from nothing. According to CoinMarketCap, there are more than 23,000 cryptocurrencies. That’s a hard road for most.
Telegram is a community integrating blockchain technology. That’s just got to be easier.”
At time of writing, TON is trading for $6.25.
ONDO is the native asset of Ondo Finance, a decentralized exchange protocol focused on tokenizing real-world assets (RWA).
At time of writing, ONDO is trading for $1.85.

The crypto market heats up with FXGuys and Hedera trending as top altcoins with promising investment potential.
The crypto market is on fire right now. And four altcoins are trending. FXGuys (FXG) is a new crypto trading platform that has caught massive attention because of its promise. Another promising investment is Hedera (HBAR). Hedera has gotten a lot of buzz from investors these days. 
Next, we have PEPE, an OG meme coin that looks really promising. Lastly, there’s IO.NET. Many experts see IO.NET as a great investment option for 2025. Let’s explore all four altcoins in more detail!
The crypto trading industry is facing some problems right now. These problems include delayed payouts, bad trading terms, and limited flexibility. Because of this, many traders are waiting for a new crypto trading platform that will finally make trading better again. And that’s where FXGuys comes in!
This new crypto trading platform can solve all of the issues mentioned above. First, the FXGuys platform offers same-day payouts and unlimited withdrawals. This allows traders to take out their profits whenever they want to. 
Next, this new crypto trading platform comes with great terms. Namely, FXGuys offers an 80/20 profit split to all funded traders. It also allows them to trade with $500,000 accounts. This will make them much more profitable than before. Furthermore, FXGuys users can cash out their profits with fiat and crypto. 
The FX Guys platform also makes crypto trading easier. That’s because it comes with great features and tools. More specifically charts, AI tools, copy trading, and more. 
Furthermore, this new crypto trading platform offers big rewards. Users can get these rewards from staking their FXG tokens. When they do this, they’ll get a share of the FXGuys crypto trading fees and volume. 
Also, users won’t have to buy massive amounts of FXG to stake them. Instead, they’ll earn FXG with every trade they take on FXGuys! Users can also earn money on the side by directly funding other FXGuys traders. In return, they’ll get a share of their profits!
Hedera is the talk of the town right now. That’s because of the recent rise in the HBAR price. Namely, in less than 30 days, the HBAR price rose by over 500%. This was massive for Hedera. As a result, the Hedera coin price reached $0.3863 on December 3, 2024.
Now, Hedera investors are taking some profits. This is expected, as Hedera went on a huge rally recently. The HBAR price rally was mainly driven by the post-US elections boom. Right now, the HBAR price is $0.3058. Experts say that this dip is normal. Also, they say HBAR will rise again in 2025.
Their forecast on Hedera is based on the massive interest in the project right now. They say that investors will remember Hedera’s run. Thus, they recommend buying the current HBAR price dip for 2x gains in 2025!
Like HBAR, PEPE also suffered a dip in price. This was due to PEPE investors taking profits after the US elections rally. Now, it seems like PEPE investors are finally done selling. So, PEPE’s price is recovering again.
During the US elections rally, PEPE’s price increased by over 150%. Then, it dipped. Now, PEPE’s price is recovering again. At the moment, PEPE’s price is at $0.00002749. Now, more investors are buying. Thus, experts see PEPE’s price increase by another 200% soon. So, the PEPE price dip is finally over!
IO.NET hasn’t really been in the news for some time. However, it seems that things are picking up now. That’s because IO.NET recently formed a promising new partnership. Namely, IO.NET partnered with Matchain to enhance AI app development. 
This new partnership will focus on improving AI apps in the crypto market. And since AI is a hot trend right now, experts say that this will boost IO.NET’s price soon. Right now, IO.NET’s price is at $3.28.
IO.NET’s price rose by over 65% during the US elections rally. Now, IO.NET’s price is dipping. However, experts say that the new partnership can help it rise by 3x-5x in 2025!
Good news: one of the trending new crypto trading platform is in its public presale right now! Namely, FXG is available at $0.04 in Stage 2 of the public presale. It has already raised over $2.9 million. This just shows how in-demand FXG is right now.
Also, as the presale continues, the price of FXG is expected to increase. At the end, it will launch at $0.10. Once FXG launches, experts expect a massive rally to ensue. Their primary target for this rally is a 100x price pump by early 2025. They base their forecast on FXGuys’ great perks, flexibility, and overall very profitable terms for traders!
