China's central bank maintains loan rate The People's Bank of China kept its medium-term lending facility rate unchanged at 2.0%, according to the bank's statement on Monday. The rate affects around 900 billion yuan ($124.26 billion) worth of one-year loans to some financial institutions.

Big-name tech and chip stocks faltered last week. Despite almost doubling its third-quarter revenue , compared with a year earlier, Nvidia shares fell 3.2% on Friday, capping off a bumpy week during which the stock fluctuated between the red and the green. Google-parent Alphabet , meanwhile, ended the week almost 5% lower after the U.S. Department of Justice recommended the company divest its Chrome browser as a remedy to its antitrust case. And Amazon , its Big Tech counterpart, retreated 3.4% during the week. That said, major indexes managed to reverse the previous week's dip. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was 2% higher for the week and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both climbed around 1.7%. Even though other Magnificent Seven stocks did contribute to that, buoyant markets mostly have companies less in the spotlight, like Super Micro Company , to thank. Likewise, small-cap stocks, which have languished behind their bigger cousins for years, seem to be staging a comeback as interest rates fall and Trump is poised to reenter the White House. The Russell 2000 ended the week 4.5% higher, outperforming the above three indexes.

A storied American tradition is swiftly approaching. It involves turkey, tense conversations and maybe a smallpox blanket or two. OK, that last part only happened once, but honestly I wouldn’t rule it out for 2025. Yes that’s right! It’s time for the annual How To Talk To Your Far-Right Relatives at Thanksgiving article. Or, if you are a Trump supporter, it’s the How To Talk To Your Liberal Cousin Who Probably Got Three Abortions While The Turkey Was In The Oven article. You know the drill: Thanksgiving is the time when families gather together, eat their weight in pie, drink three glasses of chardonnay and then fight. So in this fraught political climate, here are some guidelines for protecting your peace—and staying in enough folks’ good graces that you get the last piece of pie: ADVERTISEMENT To state the obvious, if your family’s politics make you unsafe or make you feel unsafe, you don’t have to show up for dinner. Period. It’s easy for some people to say “put politics aside,” but when it’s your rights that are being taken away, there’s no barrier between what’s political and what’s personal. So don’t go! Throw a Friendsgiving. Go dancing. Waste a whole night diagnosing yourself with a thyroid condition on Web MD. (Oh you’re tired? We’re ALL TIRED.) Sit in your apartment alone with a margarita and marvel that a movie named “ Hot Frosty ” exists. Build a snowman and see if you can make your own Hot Frosty. Make out with someone at a bar and then invent a sexual position called the Hot Frosty. Let’s say you are bravely forging into the Thanksgiving fray. Perhaps you rely on your family for financial support. Or still live in their house. Maybe you just love those dummies despite their politics. (You can reach across the table—to pass the stuffing—even if you’re not ready to reach across the aisle.) Now is the time to throw out some safe, non-controversial statements that everyone can agree on. You can make it all the way through the pumpkin pie, I promise, by talking about how Pesto the Penguin is the cutest little buster, or how great it is that Gen-Z finally made comfy shoes cool. Here are some other options for non-controversial Thanksgiving fodder: Maybe you don’t have it in you to talk politics, but you’re still itching for an argument. Have one! Get all the anger out without actually having to learn that your weirdest in-law believes that fluoride is secretly reading his emails. Here are some very non-election-based phrases guaranteed to start a battle: And finally, maybe you’re actually up for some lively debate. Perhaps you’re a more evolved person than I, and can talk to someone who believes tariffs are going to make eggs cheaper and that’s worth mass deportations and bringing back whooping cough. Good for you. Here are a few tips if you’re hoping to change minds and not just sever ties. First, try to listen more than you talk. (I have never once done this, but godspeed.) The election is over . You can’t go back in time to change your family’s votes, so maybe now is the time to listen and learn. Plant a few seeds that will hopefully lead to longer term mind-change. You absolutely don’t have to put up with racism, misogyny or the equivalent, but short of that, it might be worth hearing what they have to say? Lastly, if you really want to do this, think of it as the beginning of a conversation rather than a one and done. It took a long time and likely a whole of lot of Infowars and Fox News (or MSNBC and TikTok) to solidify your loved ones’ not-so-lovely views, and you’re not going to change them over a sweet potato casserole. Give it some time. And with all this in mind, remember also that Thanksgiving at its core is supposed to be a time of gratefulness and coziness. Your job this week is to cultivate that however you can—be it with your entire extended family around a giant table with a 20 pound turkey, or two friends on Facetime and a weed gummy. But whatever you choose to do, end the day with a Hot Frosty. Whatever that means to you.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes continues to build great chemistry with his tight end — just not the one you might think. Mahomes threw two touchdown passes to Noah Gray for the second straight week as the on Sunday. A week after losing at Buffalo, the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs (10-1) maintained their position atop the AFC. Mahomes completed a 35-yard touchdown strike to Gray on the game’s opening possession and found him again for an 11-yard TD in the second quarter. Gray has four touchdown catches in the last two weeks — twice as many as nine-time Pro Bowler Travis Kelce has all season — and has become a weapon in the passing game for the Chiefs, who lost top wide receiver Rashee Rice to a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. Kelce was still a factor Sunday with a team-high six catches for 62 yards, although the four-time All-Pro looked dejected after dropping one easy pass. Kelce has 62 receptions for 507 yards this season, while Gray has 26 catches for 249 yards. But Gray’s development is a good sign for the Chiefs — and he’s on the same page with Mahomes. On his second TD, Gray said Mahomes “gave me the answer to the test there” before the play. “He told me what coverage it was pre-snap,” said Gray, who had four receptions for 66 yards. “That’s just the blessing you have of playing with a quarterback like that. Offensive line did a great job blocking that up and the receivers did a great job running their routes to pop me open. Really just a group effort right there on that touchdown.” Gray said that’s nothing new. “Pat’s preparation, his leadership is just something that I’m fortunate enough to play alongside,” Gray said. “I love it. It gets me motivated every time we go out there for a long drive. Having a leader like that, that prepares every single week in-and out, knows defenses, knows the game plans. “I’m just fortunate enough to play alongside a guy like that.” Mahomes completed 27 of 37 passes for 269 yards and three TDs, and he knew what to do on the second TD to Gray. “It’s not just me, it’s the quarterback coaches and the players, we go through certain checks you get to versus certain coverages,” Mahomes said. “I was able to see by the way they lined up they were getting into their cover-zero look. I alerted the guys to make sure they saw what I saw and I gave the check at the line of scrimmage.” ___ AP NFL:Brazil’s federal police said Thursday they indicted former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 other people for allegedly attempting a coup to keep him in office after his defeat in the 2022 elections. Police said their findings were being delivered Thursday to Brazil’s Supreme Court, which must decide whether to refer them to Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet, who will either formally charge Bolsonaro and put him on trial, or toss the investigation. The former right-wing president has denied all claims he tried to stay in office after his narrow electoral defeat in 2022 to his rival, leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro has faced a series of legal threats since then. Police said in a brief statement that the Supreme Court had agreed to reveal the names of all 37 people who were indicted “to avoid the dissemination of incorrect news.” The 700-page police document likely will take several days for the court to review, Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes said. Dozens of former and current Bolsonaro aides also were indicted, including Gen. Walter Braga Netto, who was his running mate in the 2022 campaign; former Army commander Gen. Paulo Sérgio Nogueira de Oliveira; Valdemar Costa Neto, the chairman of Bolsonaro’s Liberal Party; and his veteran former adviser, Gen. Augusto Heleno. The investigation started last year. On Tuesday, four military men and one federal police agent were arrested as part of the same probe. Other investigations focus on Bolosnaro’s potential roles in smuggling diamond jewelry into Brazil without properly declaring them, and in directing a subordinate to falsify his and others’ COVID-19 vaccination statuses. Bolsonaro has denied any involvement in either. Another probe found that he had abused his authority to cast doubt on the country’s voting system, and judges barred him from running again until 2030. The far-reaching investigations have weakened Bolsonaro’s status as a leader of Brazil’s right wing, said Carlos Melo, a political science professor at Insper University in Sao Paulo. “Bolsonaro is already barred from running in the 2026 elections,” Melo told the The Associated Press. “And if he is convicted he could also be jailed by then. To avoid being behind bars, he will have to convince Supreme Court justices that he has nothing to do with a plot that involves dozens of his aids. That’s a very tall order,” Melo said. On Tuesday, the federal police arrested four military and a federal police officer accused of plotting to overthrow the government following the 2022 elections, including alleged plans to kill Lula and other top officials.Adams' 25 help CSU Northridge down Utah Tech 89-79

From staff reports SALISBURY — East Rowan’s boys basketball team was smashed by Salisbury on Thursday on the first day of the Dale’s Sporting Goods Sam Moir Christmas Classic, while West Rowan was blown away in the fourth quarter by North Rowan. Both teams regrouped from Thursday’s disappointment and staged a great game at Catawba College in a Friday morning consolation. The sixth-seeded Falcons won 68-65 against the seventh-seeded Mustangs, who are still searching for their first victory. East had a desperation shot come close to tying it in the final seconds. “We played very well and I thought West played well also,” East coach Trey Ledbetter said. “It was a really good high school basketball game. We made a few miscues down the stretch and they scored a few more than us.” East led 39-38 at the half and took a three-point lead to the fourth quarter. The Falcons held East to nine points in the final quarter. Brant Graham made six 3-pointers and scored a season-high 20 for the Falcons (2-7). Graham hit four 3-pointers in the first quarter. Evan Kennedy scored 17, while Ja’mih Tucker, Josiah Young and Israel Ford added nine points each. West overcame a career game by Brody Thomas, who scored 21 for the Mustangs (0-10). Aiden Lino scored 11. Logan Bradley had nine. West ended a five-game losing streak and beat the Mustangs for the 14th straight time since East won 64-62 in the 2018 Christmas tourney.

The ceasefire, starting at 4 a.m. local time Wednesday, would mark the first major step toward ending the regionwide unrest triggered by Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. But it does not address the devastating war in Gaza , where Hamas is still holding dozens of hostages and the conflict is more intractable. Hours before the ceasefire with Hezbollah was to take effect, Israel carried out the most intense wave of strikes in Beirut and its southern suburbs since the start of the conflict and issued a record number of evacuation warnings. At least 42 people were killed in strikes across the country, according to local authorities. Another huge airstrike shook Beirut shortly after the ceasefire was announced. Smoke rises following an Israeli airstrike on Dahiyeh, in Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024. There appeared to be lingering disagreement over whether Israel would have the right to strike Hezbollah if it believed the militants had violated the agreement, something Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted was part of the deal but which Lebanese and Hezbollah officials have rejected. Israel's security Cabinet approved the U.S.-France-brokered ceasefire agreement after Netanyahu presented it, his office said. U.S. President Joe Biden, speaking in Washington, called the agreement “good news” and said his administration would make a renewed push for a ceasefire in Gaza. The Biden administration spent much of this year trying to broker a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza but the talks repeatedly sputtered to a halt . President-elect Donald Trump vowed to bring peace to the Middle East without saying how. Still, any halt to the fighting in Lebanon is expected to reduce the likelihood of war between Israel and Iran, which backs both Hezbollah and Hamas and exchanged direct fire with Israel on two occasions earlier this year. Netanyahu presented the ceasefire proposal to Cabinet ministers after a televised address in which he listed accomplishments against Israel’s enemies across the region. He said a ceasefire with Hezbollah would further isolate Hamas in Gaza and allow Israel to focus on its main enemy, Iran. “If Hezbollah breaks the agreement and tries to rearm, we will attack,” he said. “For every violation, we will attack with might.” The ceasefire deal calls for a two-month initial halt in fighting and would require Hezbollah to end its armed presence in a broad swath of southern Lebanon, while Israeli troops would return to their side of the border. Thousands of additional Lebanese troops and U.N. peacekeepers would deploy in the south, and an international panel headed by the United States would monitor compliance. Biden said Israel reserved the right to quickly resume operations in Lebanon if Hezbollah breaks the terms of the truce, but that the deal "was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.” A police bomb squad officer inspects the site where a rocket fired from Lebanon landed in a backyard in Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel, Tuesday Nov. 26, 2024. Netanyahu’s office said Israel appreciated the U.S. efforts in securing the deal but “reserves the right to act against every threat to its security.” Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati welcomed the ceasefire and described it as a crucial step toward stability and the return of displaced people. Hezbollah has said it accepts the proposal, but a senior official with the group said Tuesday it had not seen the agreement in its final form. “After reviewing the agreement signed by the enemy government, we will see if there is a match between what we stated and what was agreed upon by the Lebanese officials,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy chair of Hezbollah’s political council, told the Al Jazeera news network. “We want an end to the aggression, of course, but not at the expense of the sovereignty of the state," he said, referring to Israel's demand for freedom of action. “Any violation of sovereignty is refused.” Rescuers and residents search for victims Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024, at the site of an Israeli airstrike that targeted a building in Beirut, Lebanon. Even as ceasefire efforts gained momentum in recent days, Israel continued to strike what it called Hezbollah targets across Lebanon while the militants fired rockets, missiles and drones across the border. An Israeli strike on Tuesday leveled a residential building in central Beirut — the second time in recent days warplanes have hit the crowded area near downtown. At least seven people were killed and 37 wounded, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. Israel also struck a building in Beirut's bustling commercial district of Hamra for the first time, hitting a site around 400 meters (yards) from Lebanon’s Central Bank. There were no reports of casualties. The Israeli military said it struck targets linked to Hezbollah's financial arm. The evacuation warnings covered many areas, including parts of Beirut that previously were not targeted. The warnings sent residents fleeing. Traffic was gridlocked, with mattresses tied to some cars. Dozens of people, some wearing pajamas, gathered in a central square, huddling under blankets or standing around fires as Israeli drones buzzed overhead. Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee issued evacuation warnings for 20 buildings in Beirut's southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has a major presence, as well as a warning for the southern town of Naqoura where the U.N. peacekeeping mission, UNIFIL, is headquartered. UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti said peacekeepers will not evacuate. Israeli soldiers inspect the site Tuesday Nov. 26, 2024, where a rocket fired from Lebanon landed in a backyard in Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel. The Israeli military also said its ground troops clashed with Hezbollah forces and destroyed rocket launchers in the Slouqi area on the eastern end of the Litani River, a few miles from the Israeli border. Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah would be required to move its forces north of the Litani, which in some places is about 20 miles north of the border. Hezbollah began firing into northern Israel on Oct. 8, 2023, saying it was showing support for the Palestinians, a day after Hamas carried out its attack on southern Israel, triggering the Gaza war. Israel returned fire on Hezbollah, and the two sides have exchanged barrages ever since. Israeli security officers and army soldiers inspect the site Tuesday Nov. 26, 2024, where a rocket fired from Lebanon landed in a backyard in Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel. Israel escalated its bombardment in mid-September and later sent troops into Lebanon, vowing to put an end to Hezbollah fire so tens of thousands of evacuated Israelis could return to their homes. More than 3,760 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon the past 13 months, many of them civilians, according to Lebanese health officials. The bombardment has driven 1.2 million people from their homes. Israel says it has killed more than 2,000 Hezbollah members. Hezbollah fire has forced some 50,000 Israelis to evacuate in the country’s north, and its rockets have reached as far south in Israel as Tel Aviv. At least 75 people have been killed, more than half of them civilians. More than 50 Israeli soldiers have died in the ground offensive in Lebanon.
