ABILENE, Texas (AP) — Sam Hicks scored on a 53-yard run in the fourth quarter and finished with 171 yards on the ground to lead Abilene Christian to a 24-0 victory over Northern Arizona on Saturday in the first round of the FCS playoffs. The Wildcats (9-4), ranked No. 15 in the FCS coaches poll and seeded 15th, qualified for the playoffs for the first time and will travel to play No. 2 seed and nine-time champion North Dakota State (10-2) on Saturday at the Fargo Dome. The Bison had a first-round bye. Abilene Christian grabbed a 7-0 lead on its second possession when Carson Haggard connected with Trey Cleveland for a 37-yard touchdown that capped a 10-play 97-yard drive. Northern Arizona (8-5), ranked 17th but unseeded for the playoffs after winning five straight to get in, picked off Haggard on the Wildcats' next two possessions but could not turn them into points. NAU went for it on fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line with 9:30 left before halftime, but Jordan Mukes tackled Ty Pennington for a 4-yard loss. That led to a 46-yard field goal by Ritse Vaes and a 10-0 lead at halftime. The score remained the same until Hicks' big run with 10:16 left to play. Haggard passed 6 yards to Blayne Taylor for the final score with 2:16 to go. Haggard completed 23 of 29 passes for 244 yards with three interceptions. Abilene Christian's defense allowed at least 20 points in every game during the regular season and yielded at least 30 six times. The Wildcats lost their season opener to FBS member Texas Tech 52-51 in overtime. Abilene Christian's last shutout came in a 56-0 victory over Lamar on Sept. 25, 2021.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump said he can't guarantee that his promised tariffs on key U.S. foreign trade partners won't raise prices for American consumers and he suggested once more that some political rivals and federal officials who pursued legal cases against him should be imprisoned. The president-elect, in a wide-ranging interview with NBC's “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday, also touched on monetary policy, immigration, abortion and health care, and U.S. involvement in Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere. Trump often mixed declarative statements with caveats, at one point cautioning “things do change.” A look at some of the issues covered: Trump has threatened broad trade penalties, but said he didn’t believe economists' predictions that added costs on those imported goods for American companies would lead to higher prices for U.S. consumers. He stopped short of a pledge that U.S. households won't be paying more as they shop. “I can’t guarantee anything. I can’t guarantee tomorrow,” Trump said, seeming to open the door to accepting the reality of how import levies typically work as goods reach the retail market. That's a different approach from Trump's typical speeches throughout the 2024 campaign, when he framed his election as a sure way to curb inflation. In the interview, Trump defended tariffs generally, saying they are "going to make us rich.” He has pledged that, on his first day in office in January, he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada unless those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States. He also has threatened additional tariffs on China to help force that country to crack down on fentanyl production. ”All I want to do is I want to have a level, fast, but fair playing field,” Trump said. He offered conflicting statements on how he would approach the justice system after winning election despite being convicted of 34 felonies in a New York state court and being indicted in other cases for his handling of national security secrets and efforts to overturn his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden. “Honestly, they should go to jail,” Trump said of members of Congress who investigated the Capitol riot by his supporters who wanted him to remain in power. The president-elect underscored his contention that he can use the justice system against others, including special prosecutor Jack Smith, who led the case on Trump’s role in the siege on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump confirmed his plan to pardon supporters who were convicted for their roles in the riot, saying he would take that action on his first day in office. As for the idea of revenge driving potential prosecutions, Trump said: “I have the absolute right. I’m the chief law enforcement officer, you do know that. I’m the president. But I’m not interested in that." At the same time, Trump singled out lawmakers on a special House committee who had investigated the insurrection, citing Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo. “Cheney was behind it ... so was Bennie Thompson and everybody on that committee,” Trump said. Asked specifically whether he would direct his administration to pursue cases, he said, “No,” and suggested he did not expect the FBI to quickly undertake investigations into his political enemies. But at another point, Trump said he would leave the matter up to Pam Bondi, his pick as attorney general. “I want her to do what she wants to do,” he said. Such threats, regardless of Trump's inconsistencies, have been taken seriously enough by many top Democrats that Biden is considering issuing blanket, preemptive pardons to protect key members of his outgoing administration. Trump did seemingly back off his campaign rhetoric calling for Biden to be investigated, saying, “I’m not looking to go back into the past.” Trump repeatedly mentioned his promises to seal the U.S.-Mexico border and deport millions of people who are in the U.S. illegally through a mass deportation program. “I think you have to do it,” he said. He suggested he would try to use executive action to end “birthright” citizenship under which people born in the U.S. are considered citizens — although such protections are spelled out in the Constitution. Asked specifically about the future for people who were brought into the country illegally as children and have been shielded from deportation in recent years, Trump said, “I want to work something out,” indicating he might seek a solution with Congress. But Trump also said he does not “want to be breaking up families” of mixed legal status, “so the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.” Long a critic of NATO members for not spending more on their own defense, Trump said he “absolutely” would remain in the alliance “if they pay their bills.” Pressed on whether he would withdraw if he were dissatisfied with allies’ commitments, Trump said he wants the U.S. treated “fairly” on trade and defense. He waffled on a NATO priority of containing Russia and President Vladimir Putin. Trump suggested Ukraine should prepare for less U.S. aid in its defense against Putin’s invasion. “Possibly. Yeah, probably. Sure,” Trump said of reducing Ukraine assistance from Washington. Separately, Trump has called for an immediate ceasefire . Asked about Putin, Trump said initially that he has not talked to the Russian leader since Election Day last month, but then hedged: “I haven’t spoken to him recently.” Trump said when pressed, adding that he did not want to “impede the negotiation.” The president-elect said he has no intention, at least for now, of asking Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to step down before Powell's term ends in 2028. Trump said during the campaign that presidents should have more say in Fed policy , including interest rates. Trump did not offer any job assurances for FBI Director Christopher Wray, whose term is to end in 2027. Asked about Wray, Trump said: “Well, I mean, it would sort of seem pretty obvious” that if the Senate confirms Kash Patel as his pick for FBI chief, then “he’s going to be taking somebody’s place, right? Somebody is the man that you’re talking about.” Trump promised that the government efficiency effort led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will not threaten Social Security. “We're not touching Social Security, other than we make it more efficient,” he said. He added that “we're not raising ages or any of that stuff.” He was not so specific about abortion or his long-promised overhaul of the Affordable Care Act. On abortion, Trump continued his inconsistencies and said he would “probably” not move to restrict access to the abortion pills that now account for a majority of pregnancy terminations, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. But pressed on whether he would commit to that position, Trump replied, “Well, I commit. I mean, are -- things do -- things change. I think they change.” Reprising a line from his Sept. 10 debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump again said he had “concepts” of a plan to substitute for the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which he called “lousy health care.” He added a promise that any Trump version would maintain insurance protections for Americans with preexisting health conditions. He did not explain how such a design would be different from the status quo or how he could deliver on his desire for “better health care for less money.” Barrow reported from Atlanta.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will bring a new series to Netflix in December, revealing the “grit behind the glamour” in the high-stakes world of polo. The five-part series will debut globally on December 10, following elite global players on and off the field as they compete in the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington , Florida. A trailer for the series titled Polo, executive produced by Harry and Meghan, was released on Thursday, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the “fast-paced and glamorous world of polo”. In a statement, Harry said: “This series offers audiences an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look into the passion and determination driving some of the world’s elite polo players, revealing the grit behind the glamour. “We’re proud to showcase the true depth and spirit of the sport — and the intensity of its high-stakes moments.” It has been produced by the Sussexes’ Archewell Productions, having previously released three documentaries with Netflix as part of a multimillion-pound deal with the streaming giant. Heart Of Invictus, which aired last August, followed a group of service members on their road to the Invictus Games, the Paralympic-style sporting competition set up by Harry in 2014 for injured and sick military personnel and veterans. Netflix also released the documentary series Live To Lead and the controversial six-part Harry & Meghan documentary in December 2022. Harry and Meghan moved to the US in 2020 after stepping down from royal duties.NoneManhattan’s top federal prosecutor announced Monday he plans to resign from his post next month to make way for President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the powerful office. Damian Williams said he would step down as US attorney for the Southern District of New York on Dec. 13 – about a month before Trump’s inauguration. “Today is a bittersweet day for me,” Williams said in a statement. “It is bitter in the sense that I am leaving my dream job, leading an institution I love that is filled with the finest public servants in the world,” he continued. “It is sweet in that I am confident I am leaving at a time when the Office is functioning at an incredibly high level — upholding and exceeding its already high standard of excellence, integrity, and independence.” Williams, who was appointed by President Biden in November 2021, has gone after several high-profile Democrats during his tenure, including former New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. His office secured several convictions of former billionaire financiers on fraud charges – including of former FTX cryptocurrency exchange founder Sam Bankman-Fried and Archegos Capital Management founder Sung Kook “Bill” Hwang. Williams also brought the sex-trafficking charges against Sean “Diddy” Combs that allege the fallen music mogul led a depraved criminal empire in which he threatened victims and forced them to take part in drugged-up sex shows for over a decade. He has pleaded not guilty. Williams’ announcement comes after Trump earlier this month unveiled plans to replace him with former US Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton. “Jay is a highly respected business leader, counsel, and public servant,” Trump posted on Truth Social at the time. “Jay is going to be a strong Fighter for the Truth as we, Make America Great Again.” The position requires confirmation by the US Senate. Williams’ deputy, Edward Y. Kim, is set to take over as acting US Attorney when he steps down. His looming resignation comes as Adams continues to stare down the federal bribery charges, which he denies. In the lead up to the 2024 presidential election, some in Hizzoner’s camp had viewed a Trump win as a potential path to legal victory for Adams against his unprecedented federal indictment, per sources. Trump, on his part, has repeatedly expressed his belief that Adams has been railroaded by vengeful federal prosecutors.

Metals Exploration swooped on Condor Gold with a bid of £67.5million up front in cash and shares. Condor shareholders will also be entitled to £22.6million in the future if it hits gold production and resource targets. The tie-up came after the Mail revealed Metals Exploration – 38 per cent-owned by Candy – was prepared to go hostile with its bid. But Jim Mellon, Condor’s chairman, and other investors supported the move. Mellon, 67, owns 26 per cent of Condor, while Candy, 51, whose wife is pop star Holly Valance, made his fortune through luxury developments. Metals operates in the Philippines and its shares have more than doubled in a year. Condor owns a project in Nicaragua.

President-elect Donald Trump’s latest threat to slap huge tariffs on countries that try to move away from the “mighty U.S. dollar” inadvertently highlights the intractable contradiction at the heart of U.S. trade and economic policy. Trump has repeatedly stated that he wants to boost U.S. competitiveness and reduce its yawning trade deficit, which he blames on other countries’ unfair economic practices. But how can he do that while simultaneously preserving the dollar’s strength and unrivaled status as the world’s reserve currency, which has for decades helped fuel American consumers’ purchasing power? His “America First” goals of expanding domestic energy production and deepening the country’s status as the world’s leading tech hub could, all else being equal, lead to an appreciating exchange rate. But this would be at odds with his other “America First” goal: boosting U.S. manufacturing. This isn’t a partisan conundrum. President Joe Biden has spent trillions of dollars over the last four years in an effort to boost U.S. manufacturing, green energy production, and other key sectors. Meanwhile, the greenback has continued to strengthen, which hasn’t made U.S. exports more attractive. Vice President Kamala Harris would be facing the same dilemma had she won last month’s presidential election. But it’s especially tricky for Trump, who has been more vocal in his criticism of countries like China, Mexico and Canada which run huge trade surpluses with the U.S., and more bombastic about his ability to fix those imbalances. A weaker dollar and lower interest rates would be two of the most obvious tools to do that. But as he made clear in his social media post on Saturday, he also wants to protect the dollar’s global hegemony and preserve its relative value. Something has to give. The U.S. has run a trade deficit for nearly 50 years, consistently sucking in more imports than it exports. Manufacturing has been declining as a share of the economy for almost as long, notably since China was admitted into the World Trade Organization in 2001. The U.S. trade deficit last year was around 3.0% of GDP, much smaller than the record 5.7% of GDP reached in the mid-2000s, but still large. And in nominal terms, which Trump focuses on more, it is an even bigger at $773 billion. The deficit is consistent with the dollar’s status as the preeminent currency in global trade, financial market trading and international foreign exchange reserves. No other currency comes close to being as dominant, even as the dollar’s share of global FX reserves has eroded in recent years. The trade deficit is offset by a surplus in the U.S. capital account, as China and others have plowed their surpluses back into U.S. bonds and stocks. If the trade deficit were reduced, so too would the capital account surplus and attendant demand for U.S. assets from abroad. All else being equal, this would put upward pressure on bond yields and interest rates. Nodding to the symbiotic relationship between the U.S. trade deficit and capital account surplus, Michael Pettis, a senior fellow at Carnegie China, pointed out on the platform X on Saturday that the U.S. cannot simultaneously cut its trade deficit and increase the global dominance of the dollar, because these impose “diametrically opposed” conditions. Rebalancing the global economy so that the U.S. runs smaller trade deficits and has a stronger manufacturing sector, while China and other large net exporters increase domestic consumption and cut their trade surpluses, would ultimately require major global FX adjustments. And U.S. consumers might not be pleased with this outcome, having benefited enormously in recent decades as the trade deficit has sucked in cheap goods from abroad, from clothes to electrical appliances and everything in between. “You are implicitly asking U.S. consumers to accept a loss of purchasing power and a willingness to pay more for imported goods in order to give support to the manufacturing sector,” says Joe Brusuelas, principal and chief economist at RSM. That’s a tall ask. And given the role purchasing power played in the recent election, it’s likely one the president-elect won’t actually want to make.

Jodie Frink Now seems like a good time to reboot a favorite feature: We asked a supersized panel of community members to tell us about the kindest, most selfless act they’ve witnessed this year. “One of the most unselfish things that I’ve noticed in the past 30 days has been act by one of the disabled members of our congregation, Jodie Frink. Rev. Robert Freeman “When her church was trying to find ways to raise money for the building repairs, she decided to have a fundraiser to help. She went and found old cups and propagated plants from her own plants and then sold them at an estate sale. She donated the proceeds to her church. She raised over 400 dollars. She is our hero.” Susannah Scaroni shows off a couple of her medals before appearing on WDWS’ ‘Monday Night SportsTalk’ at the Esquire Lounge in September. “A friend and training partner of mine competed the Chicago marathon last month with a large group of men. He told me that during the race, the three leading athletes of this group exchanged leads just amongst themselves — i.e., they didn’t ask any of the other men in the back of the pack to help at the front, where most of the wind is felt. “Understandably, at the end of the race, my friend had more energy than the men who did more of the work and he was able to out-climb them on the final hill. However, he waited for them so that they could finish ahead of him as they had done more work.” “Two weeks ago, I was trying to get students on a bus for a field trip. One of my babies, eighth-grader Elijah, bends over and picks up a dollar that was on the ground. “He walked it over to me and said, ‘Here you go, Ms. Westfield. I know it was one of your tests you were giving us.’ Renayee Westfield “I told him that it actually wasn’t a test of mine and the dollar was his free and clear. We went back and forth because he seriously thought I had planted it as some life lesson. It took about four minutes for him to believe that he could actually keep the dollar. “Doesn’t sound like much, but to this particular group, it was. He finally took it and said, ‘Wow, I could use this dollar!’ “And I let him know it must have been one of life’s little blessings waiting just for him — I mean, about five of us walked over it and didn’t see it.” Cathy Rector “This past summer I witnessed such a beautiful showing of love, support and respect for a young woman in our community that had been battling cancer for several years, but, unfortunately, was spending her final days at home with her devoted husband and extended family. “Friends, family and well-wishers, many of whom hardly knew her, got together and put the word out that there was going to be a caravan for her, to let her know so many were thinking of her. “When my husband and I arrived that day to participate, we were moved by all of the cars that had filled a local parking lot and those that were parked along the street. Everyone gathered in a circle and prayed before the caravan began. As the procession passed the family home — with signs, balloons, flowers and quiet tears — we could see her in the front yard surrounded by her loved ones, smiling as each car passed, many yelling words of support and love. “That young woman passed less than 48 hours later, but knowing that so many members of our community came out, gave of their time and let her see how much she was loved and the impact she had on so many, was kindness at its best.” Diana Gonzalez “On November 6th, during my lunchtime walk on campus, I noticed a couple of students standing on the main quad holding a sign. As I passed them, I saw that the sign said they were offering hugs and encouragement to anyone who needed one today. “Seeing this kind and caring offer warmed my heart. I was reminded to give extra hugs to my family when I come home this evening.” Board chair Jewell White with United Way President/CEO Sue Grey. “We are so fortunate that there are many times that we get to witness kindness and goodness for those in need in our community. Most recently, there were some kids, whose parents were strong United Way volunteers. “They decided they wanted to do their part — thus, the most awesome lemonade stand you could ever have, was born. “The kids make their own signs, lemonade and marketing. We really are grateful for the kind hearts of Addie, Rowen, Kynzee and Leo. They have donated hundreds of dollars to United Way because they wanted to make a difference in their community. We have used their donations to help kids all across Champaign County.” Gene Robinson Director, UI Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology “An undergraduate was facing a difficult conversation with a university official and was quite nervous about advocating for herself for the first time in this context. “Learning this, a graduate student volunteered to accompany the undergraduate — even though she herself was not feeling well, with a non-contagious ailment. “She got out of her sick bed, helped the undergraduate get through it successfully and then promptly went back home. The undergraduate was extremely grateful and now has a powerful model to pay forward.” John Thies “For a number of years, Champaign-Urbana Kiwanis has had a relationship with the Swann School in Champaign. Club member Darrold Kennedy with Edward Jones has taken the lead in coordinating club volunteers who have gone on walks with the children and adults with developmental disabilities served by Swann — a wonderful community organization. “These walks take place most weeks during the warm weather months, and Darrold is an excellent manager of the club’s involvement. Thanks to volunteers like Darrold, Champaign-Urbana is a better place.” Ashley Mayor “I was checking out a new book at the Champaign Public Library when a young boy and a children’s librarian came up to the line and waited patiently. “I watched on as the young boy had a handful of magazines and explained that he wanted to donate to the library for others to enjoy too. The librarian was showing him how to make his donation. “Both librarians were so kind to him and appreciative of his generosity.” “Presiding over the Champaign County Drug Court, I am familiar with the difficulty many of our members have obtaining employment because of their prior convictions. Ben Dyer “Many people get discouraged during their job searches, and it would be natural for someone to get a job and be very protective of that opportunity for themselves. Yet this year, as in years past, we have seen just the opposite: numerous instances of our members doing everything they can to help one another find jobs, to recommend one another for employment, and to help them succeed at work if they are hired. “It’s refreshing to see them lift one another up and try to succeed together.” Connie Hilson “As a volunteer coach for Special Olympics, I witness selfless acts and kindness at almost every practice or sporting event. It could be as simple as an athlete helping another athlete or a coach giving their time when they don’t have a family member involved. “I really appreciate the teens and young adults who get involved. For example, Josie recently organized the U of I Best Buddies drumline and their performance at the Illini Marching Band Festival. It was smiles for every-buddy involved. “Or Ella, Charlotte and Xander, who volunteer to help athletes who need that extra assist to participate. They could be hanging out with friends or doing things that teens do. Instead, they selflessly give their time to help someone else. They are inspiring and will have amazing futures.” “Recently, we met a neighbor named Jordan visiting the Mattoon Community Food Pantry for groceries. She told us that in addition to caring for her two young children, she takes care of her younger brother. Kelly Daly “As a nurse, Jordan often works shifts that are 16 hours or longer, and was excited to find healthy snacks and easy meal options for her family. When she saw that the person shopping ahead of her got the last bags of frozen strawberries, she offered to trade her soft pretzel bites for the strawberries because her kids would love them. “However, there was no trade — instead, he offered the strawberries to her and told her to enjoy them with her children. The generous gesture exemplified the pantry’s mission statement that hung on the wall behind them: ‘We are committed to respond compassionately to those in need within our community.’” Danville High School sophomore Samantha Brown with her homemade cocoa bombs. “The Danville High student the past couple of years who epitomizes selflessness and helping others is sophomore Samantha Brown. “This will be Samantha’s third year running Sam’s Cocoa Co. Samantha taught herself to make custom holiday cocoa bombs, became home kitchen-certified and makes hundreds of cocoa bombs to sell over the holidays. “All profits are used to purchase supplies for the Vermilion County Humane Society. Last year, she raised over $1,500 to help stock the Humane Society and donated cocoa bombs to the Women’s Shelter so the residents and kids could have a cocoa party.”Tech tip: How to get started with Bluesky
