LOS ANGELES (AP) — Londynn Jones scored 15 points, making all five of her 3-pointers, and fifth-ranked UCLA stunned No. 1 South Carolina 77-62 on Sunday, ending the Gamecocks’ overall 43-game winning streak and their run of 33 consecutive road victories. The Gamecocks (5-1) lost for the first time since April 2023, when Caitlin Clark and Iowa beat them in the NCAA Tournament national semifinals. Te-Hina Paopao scored 18 points and Tessa Johnson scored 14 for the Gamecocks, whose road winning streak was third-longest in Division I history. It was the first time UCLA took down a No. 1 team in school history, having been 0-20 in such games. The program's previous best wins were over a couple of No. 2s — Oregon in 2019 and Stanford in 2008. Elina Aarnisalo added 13 points as one of five Bruins in double figures. UCLA (5-0) dominated from start to finish, with the Bruins' suffocating defense preventing the Gamecocks from making any sustained scoring runs. South Carolina: The Gamecocks trailed by double-digits at halftime for the first time since Dec. 21, 2021, against Stanford, according to ESPN. Chloe Kitts, who averages a team-leading 14 points, finished the game with 2 points on 1 of 7 shooting. UCLA: The Bruins led 43-22 at halftime. Eight different players scored and contributed to 11-0 and 7-0 runs in the first and second quarters as they shot 52% from the field. The first quarter set the tone for a game in which the Gamecocks never led. They missed their first nine shots and were 4 of 18 from the floor in the quarter. UCLA ran off 11 straight points to take a 20-10 lead into the second quarter. The Bruins dominated the boards, 41-34, and held the Gamecocks well under their scoring average of 80.2 points. South Carolina travels to Florida to meet Iowa State in the Fort Myers Tipoff on Thanksgiving. UCLA travels to the Rainbow Wahine Showdown in Hawaii to play UT Martin on Friday.

The S&P 500 rose 0.4%, coming off its first losing week in the last four . The Nasdaq composite climbed 1.2% to a record, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was a laggard and fell 110 points, or 0.3%. Broadcom leaped 11.2% to help lead the S&P 500 for a second straight day after delivering a profit report last week that beat analysts’ expectations. The technology company is riding a wave of enthusiasm about its artificial-intelligence offerings in particular. The market’s main event, though, will arrive on Wednesday when the Federal Reserve will announce its last move on interest rates for the year. The widespread expectation is that it will cut its main rate for a third straight time, as it tries to boost the slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its target of 2%. The question is how much more it will cut rates next year, and Fed officials will release projections for where they see the federal funds rate ending 2025, along with other economic indicators, once their meeting concludes. Fed Chair Jerome Powell will also answer questions in a press conference following the meeting. For now, the general expectation among traders is that the Fed may cut a couple more times in 2025, according to data from CME Group. But such expectations have been shrinking following reports suggesting inflation may be tougher to get all the way down to 2% from here. Besides last month’s slight acceleration in inflation, another worry is that President-elect Donald Trump’s preferences for tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation down the line. Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle has dropped his earlier forecast of a cut by the Fed in January, for example. Beyond the possibility of tariffs, he said Fed officials may also want to slow their cuts because of uncertainty about exactly how low rates need to go so that they no longer press the brakes on the economy. Expectations for a series of cuts to rates by the Fed have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times so far this year and is heading for one of its best years of the millennium . The economy has held up better than many feared, continuing to grow even after the Fed hiked the federal funds rate to a two-decade high in hopes of grinding down on inflation, which topped 9% two summers ago. On Wall Street, MicroStrategy jumped as much as 7% during the day as it continues to benefit from the surging price for bitcoin , which set another all-time high. But its stock ended the day down by les than 0.1% after bitcoin’s price pulled back below $106,000 after setting a record above $107,700, according to CoinDesk. The software company has been building its hoard of the cryptocurrency, and its stock price has more than sextupled this year. It will also soon join the Nasdaq 100 index. Bitcoin’s price has catapulted from roughly $44,000 at the start of the year, riding a recent wave of enthusiasm that Trump will create a system that’s more favorable to digital currencies . Honeywell rose 3.7% after saying it’s still considering a spin-off or sale of its aerospace business, as part of a review of its overall business. It said it plans to give an update with the release of its fourth-quarter results. They helped offset a drop for Nvidia, whose chips are powering much of the world’s move into AI. Its stock fell 1.7%. Because it’s grown so massive, with a total value topping $3 trillion, it was the single heaviest weight on the S&P 500. All told, the S&P 500 rose 22.99 points to 6,074.08. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 110.58 to 43,717.48, and the Nasdaq composite rose 247.17 to 20,173.89. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury edged down to 4.39% from 4.40% late Friday. The two-year yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, eased to 4.24% from 4.25%. In stock markets abroad, indexes fell modestly across much of Europe and Asia. They sank 0.9% in Hong Kong and 0.2% in Shanghai after China reported lackluster economic indicators for November despite attempts to strengthen the world’s second-largest economy. South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.2% as law enforcement authorities pushed to summon impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol for questioning over his short-lived martial law decree, and the Constitutional Court met to discuss whether to remove him from office or reinstate him. ___ AP Business Writer Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.

Stock market today: Nasdaq hits a record as Wall Street drifts ahead of Federal Reserve's meeting

USC loses veteran WR Kyron Hudson to transfer portalATLANTA — As Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene enters her third term in Congress, she will also be working alongside the world's richest man and a former presidential candidate tasked to cut government spending and regulations. The Georgian took to X on Thursday to share she'll be chairing a brand new subcommittee that will work with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy for the Department of Government Efficiency. "I won't rest until we've rooted out every penny of waste and abuse," Rep. Greene wrote. "The American people deserve a government that works for them, not against them!" RELATED: Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene wins reelection to U.S. House in Georgia's 14th Congressional District, AP projects The Associated Press previously reported President-elect Donald Trump's choice to put Musk and Ramaswamy in charge of DOGE . The news organization said this is an outside advisory committee that will work with people inside the government to reduce spending and regulations. In a separate X post , Greene expanded on her reasons for looking forward to chairing the new subcommittee. She mentioned that she comes from a business background where she runs a construction company. She compared the government to private companies, where she said if one is not doing a good job in their role, they'll be fired. "But for some reason in government, bad employees -- whether they're failing to do the job they were hired to do or working in roles that are no longer needed -- never get fired," she wrote. "This is incredibly unfair to the hard-working taxpayers of our country, and it's about to change." Two people told The Associated Press that Greene and Rep. James Comer, a Kentucky Republican who chairs the House Oversight Committee, had already met with Ramaswamy. The entrepreneur also took to social media to say he was looking forward to collaborating with Congress on this topic. "Proper oversight of agencies & public transparency are critical," Ramaswamy wrote. RELATED: Extended interview | Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene seeking a third term in Congress The news organization also reported Musk and Ramaswamy said they would encourage Trump to make cuts by refusing to spend money allocated by Congress -- a process known as impounding. The proposal goes against a 1974 law intended to prevent future presidents from following in the footsteps of Richard Nixon, who held back funding that he didn't like. It would be a dramatic attempt to expand his powers when he already has the benefit of a Republican-controlled Congress and a conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court. It could swiftly become one of the most closely watched legal fights of his second administration. “He might get away with it," said William Galston, a senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based think tank. “Congress’s power of the purse will turn into an advisory opinion.” Plans for the Department of Government Efficiency are still coming into focus. Still, it has put out a call for "super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting," the AP said. Applicants are encouraged to submit their resumes through X, the social media company that Musk owns.

A damaged aircraft is seen in a destroyed hangar at the Antonov International Airport, near Hostomel, Ukraine, March 31, 2022, in this still image obtained from a social media video taken with a drone on March 31, 2022. Babylon'13/via REUTERS/File Photo KYIV - Fifteen of Ukraine's civilian airports have been damaged since Russia invaded the country in February 2022, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal was quoted as saying by local media on Saturday. Ukraine, which the state aviation service says has 20 civilian airports, has been exploring avenues to partially open its airspace. It has been completely closed since the start of the war. Ukrainians who want to fly abroad currently have to go via road or rail to neighbouring countries to catch flights. For those living in the east, the journey out of Ukraine can take a day in itself. "We conducted a risk assessment and determined the needs of the air defence forces to partially open the airspace," local news agency Ukrinform quoted Shmyhal as saying at a transportation conference. "Security issues and the military situation remain key to this decision," he said. Shmyhal added that Russia had attacked Ukraine's port infrastructure nearly 60 times in the last three months, damaging or destroying nearly 300 facilities and 22 civilian vessels. A senior partner at insurance broker Marsh McLennan told Reuters earlier this month that Ukraine could reopen the airport in the western city of Lviv in 2025 if regulators deem it safe and a political decision is made.

Forget The S&P 500, Buy These Dividend Stocks Instead

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes drifted amid mixed trading Monday, ahead of this week’s upcoming meeting by the Federal Reserve that could set Wall Street’s direction into next year. The S&P 500 rose 0.4%, coming off its first losing week in the last four .

Fort Worth took center stage in the State Board of Education’s debate over a now-approved curriculum that incorporates Bible stories in reading lessons . The board voted 8-7 to approve Bluebonnet Learning , an optional curriculum that uses reading lessons to supplement concepts in other subjects, such as social studies. State lawmakers called for the new curriculum as a solution to boost lagging reading proficiency rates across Texas. However, critics argue the material overwhelmingly features Christian values and history. A decisive vote from the District 13 member, who represents eastern portions of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, likely paved the way for the instructional materials’ adoption. The seat had been vacant since its previous holder, Dallas Democrat Aicha Davis, resigned for her now-successful campaign for a Texas House seat. Gov. Greg Abbott appointed Pantego Republican Leslie Recine on Nov. 1 to hold the seat “until her successor is duly elected and qualified.” DeSoto Democrat Tiffany Clark , who was elected Nov. 5 to the District 13 seat on the State Board of Education, was caught off guard by the appointment of Recine, who will serve until Clark takes her seat in January, she told the Fort Worth Report. Recine, a Pantego resident who works in government relations, voted to approve the curriculum in the narrow vote. Clark was upset not to be part of the voting process; she would have voted against the curriculum’s approval because of its focus on Christianity, she said.

Fort Worth Republican Pat Hardy, a longtime State Board of Education member and retired educator, voted against the curriculum over what she saw as deficiencies in how it teaches reading, she said in a statement . Hardy represents District 11, which includes west Fort Worth and Tarrant County. “Learning to read requires much practice in order to develop fluency and comprehension,” Hardy said, adding that Bluebonnet does not provide that level of instruction. Hardy found the curriculum was not age appropriate after reviewing the materials and consulting with educators and parents in her district, she said. She supports the inclusion of biblical principles in school. Another point of contention for Hardy? Bluebonnet’s lack of elementary lessons about the founding of the U.S., which she believes would help students be good, patriotic citizens, the former history teacher said. “Teaching children to be good citizens aligns with the Golden Rule and the Good Samaritan,” Hardy said. “Based on my many years’ of experience as an educator, I believe that the Texas Bluebonnet Learning OER (Open Educational Resources) fails to provide the high-quality instruction that will improve our students’ academic outcomes.” Hardy’s successor, Parker County Republican Brandon Hall , has thrown his support behind the new curriculum. Hall defeated Hardy during the Republican primary in March. “It’s official! The Bible will once again come back into classrooms in Texas in a meaningful way for the first time in 60 years,” Hall said in a Facebook post following the vote . Hall criticized Hardy’s dissent. He said she did not follow the will of District 11 and instead sided with Democrats. “That being said, it is a new day in Texas. The people have spoken and SBOE 11 will be represented by a conservative fighter who reflects the principles of the district going forward,” Hall said. The governor supported the new curriculum. He signed into law the bill that called for the development of high-quality instructional materials to improve the state’s student achievement. “The materials will allow our students to better understand the connection of history, art, community, literature and religion on pivotal events like the signing of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Movement and the American Revolution,” Abbott said in a May statement . Clark, in her review of the material, didn’t see the problems Hardy outlined in her reasoning for opposing the curriculum. Clark saw some positives in the curriculum’s focus on phonics and its approaches to teaching literacy, she said, but felt that they were outweighed by the cons. “I think you can teach literacy and phonics without biblical context,” Clark, who is Christian, said. “When you start talking about phonics, you don’t need a Bible verse to teach those skills.” Many educators and parents in her district, she said, want to embed their own religious values in their children. Clark also took issue with how the curriculum teaches moments of historical significance, including segregation, slavery and abolitionism, she said. “When we talk about America being rooted in Christian values and the way things were when all of this was formulated, I think we also forget the fact that slavery was during this time,” Clark said. “When we start talking about why the Christian movement was so important then, we negate that slavery was prevalent.” “Are we truly telling the history and the foundation of America?” Clark asked. Districts that decide to roll out the curriculum will receive $60 per student enrolled. Jacob Sanchez is a senior education reporter for the Fort Worth Report.

Succeeding this year’s selection of a semi-optimistic Peach Fuzz, Mocha Mousse is exactly what it says it is — a light, sweet, creamy brown with a warm undertone. This is the first time Pantone has chosen a shade of brown for the distinction, not counting the earthy reddish-brown Marsala of 2015. As it tends to happen with matters of personal taste, Pantone’s Color of the Year (and occasional tandem picks) has been contentious since its inception in 2000, even sparking an online conspiracy theory about the selection process last year. Today alone, people have been coming out in droves to express their deep-seated hatred for or utter confusion about Mocha Mousse in various comments sections . USA Today even insinuated that Brat green had been snubbed in favor if the more “demure” milk chocolate tone. Pantone maintains that it selects the annual color based on world events, attitudes, and trends. This year, the institute’s Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman explained in a press statement that Mocha Mousse “expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence,” calling the color “sophisticated and lush” as well as an “unpretentious classic.” Get the latest art news, reviews and opinions from Hyperallergic. Daily Weekly Opportunities I’m not one for following trends in luxury goods, fashion, cosmetics, or home goods by any means, so I can’t really opine on how Mocha Mousse is slated to impact the consumer market in any way whatsoever — nor do I really care that much in the first place. I do, however, find it a bit odd if not side-eye worthy that so many people can’t fathom looking at a shade of brown without likening it to poop. In my mind’s eye, Mocha Mousse brings about the softness of a plush teddybear. A silky, creamy Dunkin’ hot chocolate (born and bred Masshole here). A velvety suede on a favored pair of boots. The frothy frosting that fuses layers of chocolate cake together. The mushy organic clay taken from riverbanks to siphon impurities from our skin in face masks. The highlights on the fuzzy feathers of beloved Kiwi birds. And quite frankly, Mocha Mousse runs a little bit more personal for me as both a color and a name. Since I have the opportunity to pontificate in my own thinkpiece, I’ll say that I’ve been wearing foundations, eyeshadows, concealers, lipsticks, and even nail polishes in similar shades of “Mocha,” “Chocolate,” “Cocoa,” “Cappuccino,” and other decadent drink or dessert titles for over a decade now. Those are the titles cosmetic brands have assigned to my skin color and the shades closest to it. I’m well-aware of the politics of objectification , fetishization , and consumption that surround these names, but if I have to be objectified, I much prefer being likened to a sweet treat over having my skin tone called “shit brown,” “diarrhea brown,” or “dirt” — all of which I’ve been faced with throughout my life. Dirt or excrement might be brown, but not all browns can be compared to dirt or excrement. Urine is (hopefully) yellow, but do you point at a buttercup or taxicab and wrinkle your nose? Blood and scabs are red ... Hell, Pantone even developed its own “ Period Red ” (it’s just plain red) in acknowledgement of the stigma surrounding menstruation. But do you look at red velvet cake or rose petals and shudder a little bit? I get that it’s not that serious, but I am always unfortunately attuned to the manner in which people respond to the color brown being that I wake up and look in the mirror every day as a Perpetually Offended Brown PersonTM. The only thing I find egregious about this year’s color campaign is the supporting AI-generated imagery for Mocha Mousse, which is inexplicably but profoundly sinister in a way I cannot easily find words for. I guess you could say I just don’t like that shit ... 🤷🏾‍♀️ We hope you enjoyed this article!

The Government of Canada barely tabled its (FES) after a day of political chaos and uncertainty. The Liberal government was thrown into turmoil following the surprise resignation of Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland hours before she was scheduled to deliver the feds’ latest economic plan. With no finance minister at the time, House Leader Karina Gould tabled the FES just after 4 p.m. this afternoon, which includes a number of measures aimed at spurring more investment in Canada’s technology sector and domestic businesses more broadly. Facing a glaring hole at one of the most important cabinet positions, the FES was tabled without a speech and with no questions permitted in the House of Commons, despite outcry from Members of Parliament (MPs). Shortly thereafter, Dominic LeBlanc was sworn in as the next Minister of Finance, filling one leadership gap in the Liberal government while questions remain at the top. Following Freeland’s resignation and the delayed release of the FES, members of the Conservatives, NDP, Bloc Québécois, and multiple Liberal MPs alike called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down. Trudeau has yet to respond publicly to these calls or address Freeland’s departure and LeBlanc’s appointment, but is also considering prorogation or resignation. Freeland from cabinet earlier today, claiming that Trudeau told her last week that he no longer wanted her to serve as finance minister. Her departure comes days after she a slew of new federal programs and updates for Canada’s tech sector contained in the FES. These include a renewal of the Venture Capital Catalyst Initiative (VCCI) and Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit reform, alongside new programs designed to encourage more private investment in mid-cap growth companies and artificial intelligence (AI) data centres, among other measures. Today, the federal government outlined plans to renew VCCI for a fourth time and inject up to $1 billion. Under the investment-matching program, the government provides one dollar for every three dollars raised by select indirect fund managers up to a cap. The latest $1-billion VCCI round will include “more enticing terms” for those funds, but no other details were provided. The feds are also investing up to $1 billion in mid-cap growth companies to crowd in additional private capital to the growth equity market. The funding will be delivered by a qualified fund manager and concessional, meaning that it provides favourable, low-interest terms for companies. According to the FES, the government is developing a program that would provide up to $15 billion in aggregate loan and equity investments for AI data centre projects that receive investments from Canadian pension funds. Those funds must invest at a two-to-one ratio compared to the government, and must become “significant shareholders” in a data centre project. The feds say seven pension funds have already expressed interest and more details will be announced in Budget 2025. To attract more investment, the feds are removing the cap that currently restricts pension funds from owning more than 30 percent of a Canadian company, making it easier for them to acquire controlling stakes. The Government of Canada has also committed $150 million over three years starting in 2024–2025 for the Global Innovation Clusters and $24 million over two years beginning in 2025–2026 for the national AI institutes. This comes in addition to its recently announced $2-billion . The government is proceeding with long-awaited reforms of the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program. As of any fiscal year beginning on or after Dec. 16, businesses can now claim capital expenditures on SR&ED tax credits again, reversing a Harper government-era change. Public companies, which previously were entitled to a 15-percent non-refundable tax credit, will be permitted to claim the 35-percent tax incentives for applicable research and development projects. The feds are also raising the annual expenditure limit under SR&ED from $3 million to $4.5 million, allowing companies to claim a maximum of $1.575 million per year. The reforms also raise two key eligibility criteria: Companies can access the credit with taxable capital under $15 million, up from $10 million. The phase-out threshold for taxable capital has been raised to $75 million from $50 million. Another new detail from today’s announcement is the federal government’s plan to implement a patent box regime to encourage the development and retention of intellectual property in Canada. The feds said they are currently reviewing feedback from recent consultations and will share details of this regime in Budget 2025. The Government of Canada also indicated that the launch of its consumer-driven banking framework will not happen until early 2026—not 2025 in last year’s FES—marking in Canada’s lengthy quest to implement open banking. It remains unclear what impact Freeland’s departure has on the plans laid out in the FES. At time of publication, Trudeau and the Liberal caucus (including Minister Freeland) were still in an emergency meeting to discuss the day’s events. The CBC has also reported that as many as 60 Liberal MPs will sign a letter asking Trudeau to resign, echoing repeated requests made across the aisle today. Canadian business leaders have expressed fear that Freeland’s departure will further erode investment in the country and destabilize its already shaky economy at a time when incoming United States President Donald Trump has threatened tariffs. Private calls for an election mirrored public requests from the Conservatives today for a confidence vote, underscored by uncertainty in the continued stability of the federal government. “Last week, we were encouraged by an announcement from Minister Freeland, which improved the program criteria for the SR&ED tax credit and increased funding for Canada’s venture capital ecosystem,” Council of Canadian Innovators president Ben Bergen said in a statement today. “Today, Chrystia Freeland is gone, and the future of the Liberal government is up in the air.” “Canadian innovators cannot scale globally on shaky ground—we need strong leadership, not uncertainty, at this critical moment.”Alex Ovechkin has a broken left fibula and is expected to be out four to six weeks, an injury that pauses the Washington Capitals superstar captain’s pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s NHL career goals record. The Capitals updated Ovechkin’s status Thursday after he was evaluated by team doctors upon returning from a three-game trip. The 39-year-old broke the leg in a shin-on-shin collision Monday night with Utah's Jack McBain, and some of his closest teammates knew it was not good news even before Ovechkin was listed as week to week and placed on injured reserve. “Everyone’s bummed out,” said winger Tom Wilson, who has played with Ovechkin since 2013. “We were sitting there saying: ‘This is weird. Like, it’s unbelievable that he’s actually hurt.’ It’s one of those things where like, he’s going to miss games? I’ve been around a long time, and it’s new to me.” Ovechkin in his first 19 seasons missed 59 games — and just 35 because of injury. Durability even while throwing his body around with his physical style is a big reason he is on track to pass Gretzky’s mark of 894 goals that once looked unapproachable. “He doesn’t go out there and just coast around,” Wilson said. “He’s played 20 years every shift running over guys and skating. He’s a power forward, the best goal-scorer ever maybe, and he’s a power forward that plays the game really hard.” Ovechkin surged to the top of the league with 15 goals in his first 18 games this season. He was on pace to break the record and score No. 895 sometime in February. “You know when goal-scorers start scoring, it’s dangerous,” said defenseman John Carlson, who has been teammates with Ovechkin since 2009-10. “There was a bit of that in the downs that everyone was feeling about it too, of course. We see him coming to the rink every day, we know what’s at stake. You never want anyone to get injured, but there’s a lot to it and certainly he was playing his best hockey in years.” ___ AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl
