When Loyola High defensive lineman Andrew Hilton broke his fibula and suffered ligament damage to his ankle during the opening week of football practice last August, things looked bleak. "He was really down initially," coach Drew Casani said. "He had put in such a great offseason," He underwent surgery and the prognosis was he'd be sidelined eight to 10 weeks, which probably meant missing his senior season.
Michael Duarte, the influencer and chef known for his love of all things barbecue, died in a horrible incident while traveling with his family in Texas, his friends and agent confirmed Tuesday. The self-taught grill master, who posted about his craft under the Instagram handle Food with Bear Hands, died on Saturday, just three short days after he and his wife, Jessica Duarte, celebrated their ninth year wedding anniversary, according to a GoFundMe set up for his family.
If you plan on strolling through West Seattle's Lincoln Park, you might want to carry a large umbrella. We'd recommend wearing a hat, too, but Seattle Parks and Recreation issued an "owl safety alert" after an aggressive hooter started attacking unsuspecting park-goers and flying off with their headgear. In a post on the agency's Facebook page, one hiker reported that an owl swooped down and stole their brother-in-law's hat while they were walking through Lincoln Park on their way to visit a troll.
If you have a mobile phone, you have no doubt seen some dodgy texts. They might declare that you have an overdue road toll, and urge you to "Click here to pay." Or maybe they inform you that there's a package waiting, but the address is wrong; "Click here to fix it." More often than not, these texts are scams. The websites you are directed to are fakes, often decked out with a misappropriated Google logo to trick you into typing in sensitive payment or sign-in information. It's called a "phishing" attack or "smishing" when it's done via SMS.
"The risk of many weather-related extreme events is growing as the planet warms, and some of those impacts are coming fast and furious now," says Carolyn Kousky, an economic policy expert at the Environmental Defense Fund and longtime property insurance researcher. Disaster costs are also rising because people continue to move to coastal regions vulnerable to hurricanes and to forested areas prone to wildfires.
Bitcoin rose on Wednesday, trading above USD 104,000 as optimism grew that the US government shutdown could soon be resolved. The House is set to vote later today on a bipartisan compromise that would restore federal funding and end the record impasse. Progress toward reopening the government has eased investor concerns and boosted appetite for risk assets across various markets.
The state's Algorithmic Pricing Disclosure Act took effect on Monday. Under the law, businesses have to tell customers when they are using their personal data, such as where they are and what they've purchased in the past, to determine prices. For some New York residents, the first sign of the new law was a message that popped up on their phone screen while ordering food delivery.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today wrote on Monday that the Diamondbacks could shop second baseman Ketel Marte before he gets to 10 years of service time and locks in full no-trade rights two weeks into next season. Under the CBA, any player with 10 years of service, the past five of which have come with one team, cannot be traded without their consent.
The dispute reflects a fundamental challenge within Trump's coalition after last week's off-cycle elections, in which voters in the New Jersey and Virginia governor races flocked to Democrats in large part over concerns about the cost of living. The White House has recognized that it needs to do more to sell its efforts to address inflation to the wider public. But Trump - who is investing significant time in his second term on foreign policy - defended his approach. The president has been claiming that he's already beaten the problem of high prices.
Back in the 1980s, a young economist and future Nobel winner named Richard Thaler began writing a series of columns that challenged the dominant doctrine of his field. At the time, most of the economics profession was smitten with a cartoonish picture of human behavior. A depiction of humans as selfish, smart, calculating, and self-controlled creatures who optimally choose what's best for themselves. It had become a bedrock of the mathematical models economists used to describe and sometimes glorify the free market.
Harper had a good season in 2025 but it wasn't close to a career year which included a 3-for-15 performance in the postseason. "He's still a quality player. He's still an All-Star-caliber player," Dombrowski said last month. "He didn't have an elite season like he's had in the past. I guess we only find out if he becomes elite or he continues to be good."
The director of Portland State University's Women's Resource Center was terminated last spring, without being given a cause. The former director, Nic Francisco-Kaho'onei, believes their Palestinian activism played a role in their firing, which had a ripple effect throughout the campus community. While PSU says it values the Women's Resource Center (and maintains it did not retaliate against Francisco-Kaho'onei), the firing came at a troubled time for the university,
Major League Baseball said its authorized gaming operators will cap bets on individual pitches at $200 and exclude them from parlays, a day after two Cleveland Guardians were indicted and accused of rigging pitches at the behest of gamblers. MLB said Monday the limits were agreed to by sportsbook operators representing more than 98% of the U.S. betting market. The league said in a statement that pitch-level bets on outcomes of pitch velocity and of balls and strikes "present heightened integrity risks because they focus on one-off events that can be determined by a single player and can be inconsequential to the outcome of the game."
People assume I'm this pervert," she says. "But that's not what happened, what it was for me ... People can believe me, or people can think I'm full of shit and not listen. But I feel like I at least have to say it out loud for myself, once."
Former Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz were indicted on charges related to a gambling scheme, the latest in a string of betting scandals that have rocked sports. Two and a half weeks after indicting an NBA player and two coaches for their alleged roles in gambling schemes, the United States Attorney's Office out of the Eastern District of New York accused Clase and Ortiz of rigging individual pitches to benefit unnamed bettors.
"Since the Supreme Court decision opened the door to legalized sports betting, Major League Baseball has continuously worked with industry and regulatory stakeholders across the country to uphold our most important priority: protecting the integrity of our games for the fans," commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. "I commend Ohio Governor DeWine for his leadership on this issue over the last several months. I also commend the industry for working with us to take action on a national solution to address the risks posed by these pitch-level markets, which are particularly vulnerable to integrity concerns. "We look forward to continuing to work with all stakeholders, including licensed sports betting operators, elected officials and regulators, to ensure we are always protecting the integrity of our game."
Oklo Inc. ( NYSE: OKLO) will report its third-quarter fiscal 2025 results after the market close. The company continues to be one of the most closely watched names in advanced nuclear energy, with shares trading near $108 after a sharp year-to-date rise driven by momentum around executive orders supporting next-generation reactors. While Oklo remains in the pre-revenue phase, investors are treating each quarterly update as a checkpoint on its path to commercialization, from licensing and construction readiness to defense and AI partnerships that could define its first deployments.
There have been several false and reckless reports circulating about Mr. Combs. He has not violated any prison rules. His sobriety and self-discipline are priorities, and he is taking them seriously.
They arrested this loser for disturbing the peace. Show them the mugshot! Nice hair, you f**king loser. Introducing Patrick McClintock. Not to be confused with his brother who has been arrested a bunch of times. Real classy family. And I hope it was worth it for this kid, to do this little stunt and now this story will follow this piece of s**t everywhere he goes.
Solomon said people he talks to are worried about not just the debt, but how it's "accelerated" over the last five years, "and it doesn't seem like we have the ability to pull it back." He argued that aggressive fiscal stimulus has become "kind of embedded" in how democratic economies operate. The debt has ballooned significantly since the financial crisis, he noted, and federal figures do show it increasing from roughly $10 trillion in 2008 to its current level, over three times as large.
November 10 marks the 249th birthday of the United States Marine Corps, one of the deadliest fighting forces on Earth. Every Marine learns to handle the Corps' modern arsenal, from the old school M1911 to the newer M249 SAW. Each of these firearms is a key part of the Marine's toolkit, and what makes them effective on the battlefield. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a look at what the USMC has in its arsenal.
"Shock and honor," said Diane Bradley. "I just wanted them to let go of my dog." Bradley said she was returning home from a walk when the two pit bulls attacked her 3-year-old dog, named Calypso. "The first dog had Calypso's head in its mouth and was clamping down," said Bradley. "Calypso went limp." Cellphone video showed the aftermath of the attack, which includes a man hitting the pit bulls.
A mother and father have been arrested after their 4-year-old twin boys were shot upon discovering a handgun hidden in a couch at their family home in Florida, authorities said. Both children, who were not named, were critically wounded in the gunfire and rushed to AdventHealth East Orlando, where they remained in stable condition as of Monday night, officials told ClickOrlando.
I booked a $400 roomette for a 15-hour Amtrak ride across the Southwest in January 2025. Then I booked a $450 first-class ticket for a 3-hour train ride from Washington, DC, to New York City. I was shocked that the overnight ride in a private cabin was less expensive than a first-class seat. When I saw how much a first-class ticket cost on the Amtrak Acela train, I had to book it.
Airlines have canceled more 9,000 flights across the U.S. since the Federal Aviation Administration ordered flight cuts late last week, mostly to ease demand on control towers that are short-staffed during the federal government shutdown. Although the government appears to be moving to reopen in the coming days, airport disruptions, flight cancellations and economic losses won't go away all at once.
With five returning starters, Arcadia basketball coach Nick Wallace made it clear at Monday's Pacific League media day that he expects his team to compete at a high level this season. Ditto for Pasadena, which returns 6-foot-11 Josh Irving, a Texas A&M commit, and has added high-scoring guard Tim Anderson from Blair. One of the most intriguing players for Arcadia is 6-8 sophomore Owen Eteuati Edwards. He had a busy summer playing basketball and pitching for the Dodgers' scout team.
As global connectivity gets more pervasive and vehicles become ever-more connected, the fleet management industry has entered a rapid phase of digitisation, and the marketplace in North America is set for a steady upturn over the course of the short-term future, driven by growth strategies based on M&A activity and high-paced organic growth, according to a study from Berg Insight.
The Beacon was originally lit by Charles Lindbergh in 1928 to assist in the early days of commercial aviation. The Beacon shone from the summit of Mount Diablo each night until December 8, 1941, the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was not relit until December 7, 1964, when Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, Commander in Chief of Pacific Forces during World War II, attended a ceremony on Mount Diablo's summit.
