Bitcoin has plunged more than 30 percent and Ether is down around 40 percent in recent months, as gains from President Trumps pro-crypto policies evaporated.

President Trump promised a deal last summer. Other universities have agreed to pay millions to settle with the federal government since then, but Harvard, which was asked to pay much more, has not.

(AP Photo/Eugene Hoshiko)2025-12-03T06:22:55Z BANGKOK (AP) European and Asian shares were mixed Wednesday after stocks on Wall Street held steadier as both bond yields and bitcoin stabilized.In early European trading, Germanys DAX picked up 0.4% to 23,813.38, while the CAC 40 in Paris climbed 0.3% to 8,100.09. Britains FTSE 100 was unchanged at 9,702.28. The future for the S&P 500 edged 0.1% higher while that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 0.2% higher. In Asian trading, Tokyos Nikkei 225 jumped 1.1% to 49,864.68 on big gains for technology shares like Tokyo Electron, which jumped 4.7%. Adventest, a maker of computer chip testing equipment, surged 5.3%. Technology and telecoms giant SoftBank Group Corp. surged 6.4% following reports that its founder, Masayoshi Son, regretted having to sell shares in computer chip maker Nvidia to help pay for other investments. The companys share price sank after it announced last month that it had sold the shares for $5.8 billion. South Koreas Kospi also got a lift from tech shares, gaining 1% to 4,036.30. Shares in Samsung Electronics, the countrys biggest company, rose 1.1%. But Chinese markets declined following the release of data showing weaker factory activity. Hong Kongs Hang Seng fell 1.3% to 25,760.73, while the Shanghai Composite index shed 0.5% to 3,878.00. Australias S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.2% higher, to 8,595.20. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 rose 0.2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.4%. The Nasdaq composite gained 0.6%. The U.S. economy has been holding up overall, but thats masking sharp divisions beneath the surface. Lower-income households are struggling with higher prices while richer households are benefiting from a stock market thats within 1% of its all-time high set in late October.In the bond market, Treasury yields calmed following their jumps the day before. The 10-year yield edged down to 4.08% from 4.09% late Monday, while the two-year yield eased to 3.51% from 3.54%. Higher yields can drag prices lower for all kinds of investments, and those seen as the most expensive can take the biggest hit. Mondays climb in Treasury yields came after the governor of the Bank of Japan hinted that it may raise interest rates there soon. But hopes are still high that the Federal Reserve will cut its main interest rate when it meets in Washington next week. The Japanese central bank is likely to raise its benchmark rate at its Dec. 19 meeting, Tan Boon Heng of Mizuho Bank in Singapore, because failing to do so could lead investors to sell off Japanese yen. Yet, delivering a done deal hike may perversely deny any appreciable JPY (Japanese yen) gains, whilst boosting long-end yields, he said in a report. The Fed has already cut its overnight interest rate twice this year in hopes of shoring up a slowing job market. But lower rates can fan inflation, which has stubbornly remained above its 2% target.Complicating things is the U.S. governments earlier shutdown, which delayed reports on the job market and other areas of the economy.In other dealings early Wednesday, bitcoin, which tumbled below $85,000 on Monday as bond yields worldwide marched higher, rose to $93,330.U.S. benchmark crude oil rose 71 cents to $59.35 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, gained 67 cents to $63.12 per barrel.The U.S. dollar slipped to 155.65 Japanese yen from 155.87 yen. The euro rose to $1.1645 from $1.1626.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth speaks during a Cabinet meeting at the White House, Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson)2025-12-03T12:04:53Z WASHINGTON (AP) Pete Hegseth barely squeaked through a grueling Senate confirmation process to become secretary of defense earlier this year, facing lawmakers wary of the Fox News Channel host and skeptical of his capacity, temperament and fitness for the job.Just three months later, he quickly became embroiled in Signalgate as he and other top U.S. officials used the popular Signal messaging application to discuss pending military strikes in Yemen.And now, in what may be his most career-defining moment yet, Hegseth is confronting questions about the use of military force after a special operations team reportedly attacked survivors of a strike on an alleged drug boat off the coast of Venezuela. Some lawmakers and legal experts say the second strike would have violated the laws of armed conflict.These are serious charges, and thats the reason were going to have special oversight, said Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi, the Republican chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The scrutiny surrounding Hegseths brash leadership style is surfacing what has been long-building discontent in Congress over President Donald Trumps choice to helm the U.S. military. And its posing a potentially existential moment for Hegseth as the congressional committees overseeing the military launch an investigation amid mounting calls from Democratic senators for his resignation. Hegseth vowed a warrior culture, but lawmakers take issueSince working to become defense secretary, Hegseth has vowed to bring a warrior culture to the U.S. governments most powerful and expensive department, from rebranding it as the Department of War to essentially discarding the rules that govern how soldiers conduct themselves when lives are on the line.Hegseth on Tuesday cited the fog of war in defending the follow-up strike, saying that there were explosions and fire and that he did not see survivors in the water when the second strike was ordered and launched. He chided those second-guessing his actions as being part of the problem.Yet the approach to the operation was in line with the direction of the military under Hegseth, a former infantry officer with the Army National Guard, part of the post-Sept. 11 generation, who was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and earned Bronze Stars.During a speech in September, he told an unusual gathering of top military brass whom he had summoned from all corners of the globe to the Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia that they should not fight with stupid rules of engagement.We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt and kill the enemies of our country, he said. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement, just common sense, maximum lethality and authority for warfighters.But now lawmakers and military and legal experts say the Sept. 2 attack borders on illegal military action.Somebody made a horrible decision. Somebody needs to be held accountable, said Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican who in January held out support for Hegseth until only moments before casting a crucial vote for his confirmation. Secretary Talk Show Host may have been experiencing the fog of war, but that doesnt change the fact that this was an extrajudicial killing amounting to murder or a war crime, said Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. He must resign.Rep. Don Bacon, a Republican who served 30 years active duty in the Air Force, finishing his career at the rank of brigadier general, said he hasnt been a fan of Hegseths leadership. I dont think he was up to the task, Bacon said. Will Hegseth keep Trumps support?Trump, a Republican, has largely stood by his defense secretary, among the most important Cabinet-level positions. But the decisions by Wicker, alongside House Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers of Alabama and the top Democrats on the committees, to open investigations provide a rare moment of Congress asserting itself and its authority to conduct oversight of the Trump administration.Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., who shepherded the defense secretarys nomination to confirmation, has said the boat strikes are within Trumps authority as commander in chief and he noted that Hegseth serves at the pleasure of the president.I dont have, at this point, an evaluation of the secretary, Thune said at the start of the week. Others can make those evaluations.But Hegseth also has strong allies on Capitol Hill, and it remains unclear how much Republicans would actually be willing to push back on the president, especially when they have spent the first year in his administration yielding to his various demands.Vice President JD Vance, who cast a rare tiebreaking vote to confirm Hegseth, has vigorously defended him in the attack. And Sen. Eric Schmitt, another close ally to Trump, dismissed criticism of Hegseth as nonsense and part of an effort to undermine Trumps focus on Central and South America. Hes not part of the Washington elite, said Schmitt, R-Mo. Hes not a think tanker that people thought Trump was going to pick. ... And so, for that reason and others, they just, they dont like him.Tension between some Republican lawmakers and the Pentagon has been rising for months. Capitol Hill has been angered by recent moves to restrict how defense officials communicate with lawmakers and the slow pace of information on Trumps campaign to destroy boats carrying drugs off the coast of Venezuela.As he defends his job, Hegseth has spoken to both Wicker and Rogers, the top lawmakers overseeing the military. Rogers said he was satisfied with Hegseth after that conversation, while Wicker said that he told Hegseth that he would like him to testify to Congress.Hegseth at first tried to brush aside the initial report about the strike by posting a photo of the cartoon character Franklin the Turtle firing on a boat from a helicopter, but that only inflamed criticism of him and angered lawmakers who felt he was not taking the allegations seriously.Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York called Hegseth a national embarrassment, adding the defense secretarys social media post of the cartoon turtle is something no serious leader would ever think of doing.What information will Congress get?Later this week, the chairs of the armed services committees, along with the top Democrats on the committees, will hear private testimony from Navy Vice Adm. Frank Mitch Bradley, who the White House has said ordered the second strike on the survivors.Republicans have been careful to withhold judgment on the strike until they complete their investigation, but Democrats say that these problems with Hegseth were a long time coming. Sen. Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat, pointed back to Hegseths tumultuous confirmation hearing, at which issues were raised with his management of nonprofits, as well as allegations of a sexual assault and abuse, and drinking on the job. Hegseth had vowed not to consume alcohol if confirmed.You dont suddenly change your judgment level or change your character when you get confirmed to be secretary of defense, Kaine said. Instead, the things that have been part of your character just become much more dire and existential.___Follow the APs coverage of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at https://apnews.com/hub/pete-hegseth.

Flight officer Rayan Gharazeddine scans the water in the southern Indian Ocean off Australia from a Royal Australian Air Force AP-3C Orion during a search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 on March 22, 2014. (AP Photo/Rob Griffith, File)wld2025-12-03T04:03:45Z KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) Malaysias transport ministry said Wednesday that a private firm will resume a deep-sea hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 later this month, renewing hopes of finally locating the jet that vanished without a trace more than a decade ago.The search will be carried out by Texas-based marine robotics firm Ocean Infinity, which signed a new no-find, no-fee contract with Malaysias government in March. Ocean Infinity made its first seabed search operation for the plane in 2018 under a similar deal and found nothing. The firm restarted the seabed search operation at a new 15,000-square-kilometer (5,800-square-mile) site in the Indian Ocean after Malaysias government gave it the greenlight, but the search was halted in April due to bad weather.Ocean Infinity will be paid $70 million only if wreckage is discovered. It is unclear if the company has new evidence of the planes location. Ocean Infinity CEO Oliver Punkett reportedly said last year that the company had improved its technology since 2018. He has said the firm is working with many experts to analyze data and had narrowed the search area to the most likely site. The Boeing 777 plane disappeared from radar shortly after taking off on March 8, 2014, carrying 239 people, mostly Chinese nationals, on a flight from Malaysias capital, Kuala Lumpur, to Beijing. Satellite data showed the plane turned from its flight path and headed south to the far-southern Indian Ocean, where it is believed to have crashed. Stay up to date with the news and the best of AP by following our WhatsApp channel. Follow on An expensive multinational search failed to turn up any clues to its location, although debris washed ashore on the east African coast and Indian Ocean islands. Malaysias transport ministry said in a brief statement Wednesday that Ocean Infinity will search intermittently from Dec. 30 for a total of 55 days, in targeted areas believed to have the highest likelihood of finding the missing aircraft. The latest development underscores the government of Malaysias commitment in providing closure to the families affected by this tragedy, it said.In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said, We ... appreciate the efforts made by the Malaysian side.___Associated Press writer Ken Moritsugu in Beijing contributed.

This story was reported with support from theMuckRock foundation.As prices for streaming subscriptions continue to soar and finding movies to watch, new and old, is becoming harder as the number of streaming services continues to grow, people are turning to the unexpected last stronghold of physical media: the public library. Some libraries are now intentionally using iconic Blockbuster branding to recall the hours visitors once spent looking for something to rent on Friday and Saturday nights.John Scalzo, audiovisual collection librarian with a public library in western New York, says that despite an observed drop-off in DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra disc circulation in 2019, interest in physical media is coming back around.People really seem to want physical media, Scalzo told 404 Media.Part of it has to do with consumer awareness: People know theyre paying more for monthly subscriptions to streaming services and getting less. The same has been true for gaming.As the audiovisual selector with the Free Library of Philadelphia since 2024, Kris Langlais has been focused on building the librarys video game collections to meet comparable interest in demand. Now that every branch library has a prominent video game collection, Langlais says that patrons who come for the games are reportedly expressing interest in more of what the library has to offer.Librarians out in our branches are seeing a lot of young people who are really excited by these collections, Langlais told 404 Media. Folks who are coming in just for the games are picking up program flyers and coming back for something like that.Langlais collection priorities have been focused on new releases, yet they remain keenly aware of the long, rich history of video game culture. The problem is older, classic games are often harder to find because theyve gone out of print, making the chances of finding them cost-prohibitive.Even with the consoles were collecting, its hard to go back and get games for them, Langlais said. Im trying to go back and fill in old things as much as I can because people are interested in them.Locating out-of-print physical media can be difficult. Scalzo knows this, which is why he keeps a running list of films known to be unavailable commercially at any given time, so that when a batch of films are donated to the library, Scalzo will set aside extra copies, just in case a rights dispute puts a piece of legacy cult media in licensing purgatory for a few years.Its whats expected of us, Scalzo added.Tiffany Hudson, audiovisual materials selector with Salt Lake City Public Library has had a similar experience with out-of-print media. When a title goes out of print, its her job to hunt for a replacement copy. But lately, Hudson says more patrons are requesting physical copies of movies and TV shows that are exclusive to certain streaming platforms, noting that it can be hard to explain to patrons why the library can't get popular and award-winning films, especially when what patrons see available on Amazon tells a different story.Someone will come up to me and ask for a copy of something that premiered at Sundance Film Festival because they found a bootleg copy from a region where the film was released sooner than it was here, Hudson told 404 Media, who went onto explain that discs from different regions arent designed to be ready by incompatible players.But its not just that discs from different regions arent designed to play on devices not formatted for that specific region. Generally, it's also just that most films don't get a physical release anymore. In cases where films from streaming platforms do get slated for a physical release, it can take years. A notable example of this is the Apple+ film CODA, which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2022. The film only received a U.S. physical release this month. Hudson says films getting a physical release is becoming the exception, not the rule.Its frustrating because I understand the streaming services, theyre trying to drive people to their services and they want some money for that, but there are still a lot of people that just cant afford all of those services, Hudson told 404 Media.Films and TV shows on streaming also become more vulnerable when companies merge. A perfect example of this was in 2022 with the HBO Max-Discovery+ merger under Warner Bros Discovery. A bunch of content was removed from streaming, including roughly 200 episodes of classic Sesame Street for a tax write-off. That merger was short-lived, as the companies are splitting up again as of this year. Some streaming platforms just outright remove their own IP from their catalogs if the content is no longer deemed financially viable, well-performing or is no longer a strategic priority.The data-driven recommendation systems streaming platforms use tend to favor newer, more easily categorized content, and are starting to warp our perceptions of what classic media exists and matters. Older art house films that are more difficult to categorize as comedy or horror are less likely to be discoverable, which is likely how the oldest American movie available on Netflix currently is from 1968.Its probably not a coincidence that, in many cases, the media that is least likely to get a more permanent release is the media thats a high archival priority for libraries. AV librarians 404 Media spoke with for this story expressed a sense of urgency in purchasing a physical copy of The Peoples Joker when they learned it would get a physical release after the film premiered and was pulled from the Toronto International Film Festival lineup in 2022 for a dispute with the Batman universes rightsholders.When I saw that it was getting published on DVD and that it was available through our vendorI normally let my branches choose their DVDs to the extent possible, but I was like, I dont care, were getting like 10 copies of this, Langlais told 404 Media. I just knew that people were going to want to see this.So far, Langlais instinct has been spot on. The parody film has a devout cult following, both because its a coming-of-age story of a trans woman who uses comedy to cope with her transition, and because it puts the Fair Use Doctrine to use. One can argue the film has been banned for either or both of those reasons. The fact that media by, about and for the LGBTQ+ community has been a primary target of far-right censorship wasnt lost on librarians.I just thought that it could vanish, Langlais added.Its not like physical media is inherently permanent. Its susceptible to scratches, and can rot, crack, or warp over time. But currently, physical media offers another option, and its an entirely appropriate response to the nostalgia for-profit model that exists to recycle IP and seemingly not much else. However, as very smart people have observed, nostalgia is default conservative in that its frequently used to rewrite histories that may otherwise be remembered as unpalatable, while also keeping us culturally stuck in place.Might as well go rent some films or games from the library, since were already culturally here. On the plus side, audiovisual librarians say their collections dwarf what was available at Blockbuster Video back in the day. Hudson knows, because she clerked at one in library school. and the collections dwarf what youd find at Blockbuster Video back in its heyday.Except we dont have any late fees, she added.

SILVER SPRING, MDPraising the drugs ability to quickly and effectively increase fatalities amongst the nations opioid users, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a new nasal spray Wednesday capable of reversing the effects of Narcan.The compound, called noroxone, was reportedly approved by the FDA as part of a broader effort to combat a surge in Narcan usage by vulnerable individuals who would have otherwise died. According to the manufacturer, the powerful opioid anti-antagonist is extremely fast-acting, and can re-depress the central nervous system and restore an overdose in just two to three minutes.Narcan use in this country is a major public health concern for Americans, who are often left watching helplessly as friends and loved ones succumb to the resuscitating effects of emergency care, said FDA Commissioner Martin A. Makary, who called the drug an essential intervention in the global fight against harm reduction. Once sprayed into the nostril, noroxone works quickly to free up opioid receptors in the brain, allowing compounds like heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, and morphine to reattach and fatally interrupt respiration.Noroxone, soon to be available both over-the-counter and as a prescription, was developed in response to what is widely known as the Narcan crisis, a nationwide epidemic that began in 2016 and has tragically saved hundreds of thousands of lives each year. Health officials praised the FDAs emergency authorization, which marks the first time an overdose reversal-reversal spray has been deemed effective and lethal enough to warrant widespread distribution.Advocates who work in the healthcare field and have seen the new drugs high mortality rates firsthand have said the emergency medicine inhibitor should be a standard item included in first-aid kits, as readily available as defibrillators and fire extinguishers in public spaces like hotels, libraries, and schools.Everyone should keep noroxone on hand in case they encounter someone at risk of being saved from a drug overdose or getting the help they need, said Aaron Lorenz, a Narcan prevention specialist in New Hampshire who teaches community members how to confidently intervene when a drug user appears to be regaining consciousness. Even if a person is sitting up straight, totally responsive to stimuli like shaking and shouting, or even breathing normallyits not too late.Added Lorenz, With noroxone, anyone can end a life.The post FDA Approves New Drug That ReversesEffectsOf Narcan appeared first on The Onion.

SPOKANE, WALamenting that she still hadnt found the bug-eyed man-child of her dreams, area bachelorette Louise Perkins confirmed Tuesday that she was growing tired of constantly looking for Mr. Bean. It seems like all my friends are settling down with buffoonish, mishap-prone men, but no matter how many dates I go on, I just cant seem to find a Mr. Bean of my own, said Perkins, adding that she longed for the day when a goofy, tweed-jacketed man would get down on one knee and say Bean? to her in a bizarrely low-pitched voice. I dont think Im being too picky. I just want a guy with a digital calculator watch, a teddy bear he treats as a sentient being, and a citron green and black British Leyland Mini he can drive from an armchair strapped to the roof.

Its exhausting.
