NEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks pulled Wall Street to another record amid a mixed Monday of trading. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% from its all-time high set on Friday to post a record for the 54th time this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 128 points, or 0.3%, while the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. Super Micro Computer, a stock that’s been on an AI-driven roller coaster, soared 28.7% to lead the market. Following allegations of misconduct and the resignation of its public auditor , the maker of servers used in artificial-intelligence technology said an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or by the company’s board. It also said that it doesn’t expect to restate its past financials and that it will find a new chief financial officer, appoint a general counsel and make other moves to strengthen its governance. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up the market. Gains of 1.8% for Microsoft and 3.2% for Meta Platforms were the two strongest forces pushing upward on the S&P 500. Intel was another propellant during the morning, but it lost an early gain to fall 0.5% after the chip company said CEO Pat Gelsinger has retired and stepped down from the board. Intel is looking for Gelsinger’s replacement, and its chair said it’s “committed to restoring investor confidence.” Intel recently lost its spot in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to Nvidia, which has skyrocketed in Wall Street’s frenzy around AI. Stellantis, meanwhile, skidded following the announcement of its CEO’s departure . Carlos Tavares steps down after nearly four years in the top spot of the automaker, which owns car brands like Jeep, Citroën and Ram, amid an ongoing struggle with slumping sales and an inventory backlog at dealerships. The world’s fourth-largest automaker’s stock fell 6.3% in Milan. The majority of stocks in the S&P 500 likewise fell, including California utility PG&E. It dropped 5% after saying it would sell $2.4 billion of stock and preferred shares to raise cash. Retailers were mixed amid what’s expected to be the best Cyber Monday on record and coming off Black Friday . Target, which recently gave a forecast for the holiday season that left investors discouraged , fell 1.2%. Walmart , which gave a more optimistic forecast, rose 0.2%. Amazon, which looks to benefit from online sales from Cyber Monday, climbed 1.4%. All told, the S&P 500 added 14.77 points to 6,047.15. The Dow fell 128.65 to 44,782.00, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 185.78 to 19,403.95. The stock market largely took Donald Trump’s latest threat on tariffs in stride. The president-elect on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a group of developing economies if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. Trump said he wants the group, headlined by Brazil, Russia, India and China, to promise it won’t create a new currency or otherwise try to undercut the U.S. dollar. The dollar has long been the currency of choice for global trade. Speculation has also been around a long time that other currencies could knock it off its mantle, but no contender has come close. The U.S. dollar’s value rose Monday against several other currencies, but one of its strongest moves likely had less to do with the tariff threats. The euro fell amid a political battle in Paris over the French government’s budget . The euro sank 0.7% against the U.S. dollar and broke below $1.05. In the bond market, Treasury yields gave up early gains to hold relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed above 4.23% during the morning before falling back to 4.19%. That was just above its level of 4.18% late Friday. A report in the morning showed the U.S. manufacturing sector contracted again last month, but not by as much as economists expected. This upcoming week will bring several big updates on the job market, including the October job openings report, weekly unemployment benefits data and the all-important November jobs report. They could steer the next moves for Federal Reserve, which recently began pulling interest rates lower to give support to the economy. Economists expect Friday’s headliner report to show U.S. employers accelerated their hiring in November, coming off October’s lackluster growth that was hampered by damaging hurricanes and strikes. “We now find ourselves in the middle of this Goldilocks zone, where economic health supports earnings growth while remaining weak enough to justify potential Fed rate cuts,” according to Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide. In financial markets abroad, Chinese stocks led gains worldwide as monthly surveys showed improving conditions for manufacturing, partly driven by a surge in orders ahead of Trump’s inauguration next month. Both official and private sector surveys of factory managers showed strong new orders and export orders, possibly partly linked to efforts by importers in the U.S. to beat potential tariff hikes by Trump once he takes office. Indexes rose 0.7% in Hong Kong and 1.1% in Shanghai.

Staff and volunteers have been working for weeks preparing the meals before they're handed out from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. "We do about 20 turkeys, that are 20 pounds each," said owner Sam Rawas. "We debone them, cook them, get them ready and then we warm them up." In addition to a serving of turkey, each meal comes with a side of coleslaw, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy. They're topped off with a slice of cake. The downtown cafe also hands out dinners on Thanksgiving. This year, they gave away exactly 455 meals. "A lot of people are hungry out there, so we like to make sure we can do what we can," Rawas said. Rawas adds that the meals aren't limited to people who aren't able to afford it. This time of year can be difficult for those who have lost loved ones or who are away from their families. It's all about providing a sense of community around the holidays, Rawas said. "They love to just be with someone at Christmas time," he said. Owner Sam Rawas mixing mashed potatoes at Richard’s Coffeehouse in Brockville, Ont. Dec. 23, 2024. (Jack Richardson/CTV News Ottawa). According to Rawas, it wouldn't be possible without the countless hours his staff and volunteers put in for the preparation. They spend weeks deboning the turkeys and organizing the sides all leading up to Monday afternoon. "It feels really good to see the people coming in. Everybody gets a hot meal and some smiles and greetings and it's a really good vibe in here," said volunteer Allana Porteous. Brockville resident Jim Burns, who also volunteered at Thanksgiving, added, "I've met some really nice people that are volunteering every time." "You meet the people coming in too, and the smiles on their faces. So, it's good that way." Elsie Post is a university student who came back to work at Richard's Coffeehouse over the holidays. It's her first experience working during an event like this. Even though she's used to serving coffee, she loves being able to contribute to a great cause. "It feels amazing getting to give back to the community and knowing that we made a difference in Brockville," she said. "I'm glad that I got to be a part of it."

(Reuters) – Micron Technology forecast second-quarter results below Wall Street estimates on Wednesday as weakened prices of memory chips used in handsets and personal computers weigh on earnings, sending the company’s shares down 17.2% in extended trading. The market for DRAM chips, which contribute to most of Boise, Idaho-based Micron’s revenue, remains sluggish because of weak consumer demand and an ongoing supply glut. DRAM chips are used in data centers, personal computers, smartphones and other computing devices. Excluding items, Micron expects to earn $1.43 per share, plus or minus 10 cents, compared to analysts’ expectation of $1.91, according to data compiled by LSEG. It expects to report second-quarter revenue of $7.90 billion, plus or minus $200 million, compared to analysts’ estimate of $8.98 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Demand for PCs and smartphones in key markets such as China remains weak, which has led to reduced inventory levels and an oversupply of memory chips. Micron is working on a 1,400-acre mega campus to make DRAM chips in central New York state. It also offers flash memory NAND chips, which serve the data storage market.

At 39, he scored 15 goals in his first 18 games of the season... before suffering an injury. But there may be a reason for his impressive offensive output this season. In an article by Responsable Gambler , we read that Ovi began his summer by going on vacation to Turkey. He didn’t necessarily pay attention to what he ate... So much so that at one point, he weighed 258 pounds. That’s a lot of weight. But the Capitals captain is back at work getting ready for the season, and that’s where it gets interesting. Again according to the Responsable Gambler article, Ovi has lost 33 pounds (!!!) and entered the campaign weighing 225 pounds. That’s impressive: Alex Ovechkin shed 33 lbs over the summer, then scored 15 goals in 18 games!!!! Read more on @Capitals star forward incredible summer transformation (via @smdemidov )https://t.co/fH24v4sDUR – RG (@TheRGMedia) December 3, 2024 It’s crazy too. Losing that much weight in just a few months is (really) not easy... But Ovechkin did what he had to do to get back in shape and perform well on the ice. And it worked. But at a certain point, Ovi had no choice but to start training extra hard, because if he didn’t, his body just wasn’t going to keep up at his age. If guys like Sidney Crosby and LeBron James are able to be this good as they approach forty, it’s because they take care of their bodies and it’s because they make the effort to stay at the top of their game. And if Alex Ovechkin wants to continue to have the chance to break Wayne Gretzky’s record for most goals scored in the NHL, he has no choice but to work to make it happen. Overtime – Bromance.

Bands like Pearl Jam to 'become the norm' at Lake Macquarie venue
CALGARY, Alberta – Minnesota Wild goalie Marc-Andre Fleury bounded down the tunnel and onto the ice for his 1,000th NHL start and what was presumably the final start of his career in the home rink of the Edmonton Oilers — a team he’d beaten 16 times previously in his career. ADVERTISEMENT He corralled one of the dozens of pucks strewn around the ice and fired toward the cage he would soon be guarding. But his attempt at an empty-net goal was foiled when the puck he had shot hit another puck at the top of the crease and both slid to the corners of the rink. It was just the first thing that would go wrong for the guy teammates lovingly call “Flower” on this night. Less than 30 seconds into the game, he swung at a puck bouncing in his direction all the way from the red line. He missed, and the Oilers led 1-0 on a fluke that had the Rogers Place crowd roaring and smiling. After the initial shock wore off, Fleury was smiling too. “I haven’t played in so long, I wanted to do well and help the team, and at the beginning to let that one in, I was mad for a little bit and then I just laughed. It was so stupid,” he said following Minnesota’s 5-3 win, which gave him a 4-0-1 record for the season. “The guys came by and they gave me a tap, and they laughed and kind of made it a little lighter. And they battled well, nobody sat back.” ADVERTISEMENT Just under 60 minutes of game time later, Flower was the one grinning in the Wild locker room as Minnesota won its ninth road game in a dozen opportunities. Fleury finished with 28 saves, and the other two Edmonton goals both went off the skates of Wild defenders. In the first period, he made a sprawling poke-check save to thwart Oilers star Connor McDavid’s rush to the net that had the Edmonton crowd primed to explode again. It was the 1,030th appearance in an NHL game for Fleury, moving him past Patrick Roy into third in the NHL record books for most games played by a goalie. He will turn 40 on Thanksgiving Day and has been in the league since 2003, after the Penguins made him the first-overall pick in that summer’s draft. But with Filip Gustavsson off to a fantastic start as the Wild’s mainstay in the crease, and Jesper Wallstedt waiting in the wings (in Iowa) presumably as the franchise’s goalie of the future, Fleury finds himself in a new role: backup goalie. Perhaps the only time his ever-present smile seemed forced following the win in Edmonton was when Fleury pointed out, on two occasions, that it was his first start in three weeks, since a win at San Jose on Nov. 7. ADVERTISEMENT Minnesota coach John Hynes reiterated on Friday afternoon that there was, for a brief moment, a thought that the Wild would carry three goalies — Gustavsson, Fleury and Wallstedt — for a time in October, meaning there would be two backups, or a rotation plus a third stringer. It didn’t work out that way. “Gus and Flower played well. Wally played well. But based on contracts and things like that and where everyone’s at in their career, Wally went down and played (in Iowa) and he’s doing a good job now and has found his game,” Hynes said. “But Flower’s playing really well and Gus is playing really well. So, it hasn’t been that he’s...the understudy. It’s just, here’s what we need to do everyday and then we’ll try to let you know when we’re going to start. Sometimes, it might be in advance. Sometimes, it might be a little closer to the game.” Fleury has made it clear that this will be the final season of his career, so like a rare flower that only blooms once in a while, seeing one of his remaining starts is worth seeking out. Of course, with the Wild defying expectations, the team’s fanbase is clearly hoping this flower keeps blooming well into May or even June.

Tamworth fans celebrate ‘unbelievable’ FA Cup third round draw as manager Andy Peaks gives priceless reaction
Though she was previously against the idea, Layla El is now open to a pro wrestling return. The 47-year-old Layla has not wrestled since 2015, but she recently told the No Name Wrestling Podcast that she would love to come back to WWE and finish off her career. After taking a break from the public eye following her retirement, Layla is now back on social media. If possible, she would like to return to WWE as part of a reunion with her LayCool partner Michelle McCool. The No Name Wrestling Podcast asked Layla about potentially returning to WWE for an appearance or going after the Women’s Tag Team titles with McCool. “Yeah, now there is [a chance],” the former Women’s Champion and Divas Champion responded. “Before, absolutely 100 percent no. I was not open to anything, I wanted a break, I wanted to get away. But now, absolutely. Before I get, like, too old and I can’t come back and do anything. Yeah, one more time. “I would honestly come back to do a LayCool reunion. If that is possible and if that’s something that could happen, why not? Why not? It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And — we did, we had a lot of fans when we were together. LayCool was a stable for a while. Like, we were together for two and a half years, I think. So, yeah, I would love to. I would love to reunite with my best friend, I really would. Just one more time. I sure would.” Layla said she loves Chelsea Green & Piper Niven and would like to have a small run working with them. She also praised Tiffany Stratton as a future star. McCool stepped away from the ring in 2011 but has made a few Royal Rumble cameos in recent years. In 2006, Layla received a WWE contract as the winner of that year’s Diva Search. She was a dancer for the NBA’s Miami Heat before entering pro wrestling. Layla was scheduled to appear at WrestleCade in Winston-Salem, North Carolina this past weekend but had to miss the convention due to family commitments that she needed to be present for.
