Giannis Antetokounmpo joined the Milwaukee Bucks training camp for the first time on Saturday after recovering from COVID-19 in Greece. Antetokounmpo participated in non-contact work, according to Doc Rivers. “He said he’s going to need a good three days,” Rivers said. Antetokounmpo said that he was still recovering from a physical standpoint. “I think it took a toll on my body. I’m not feeling 100 percent yet physically,” Antetokounmpo said. “Just taking it day by day, getting back in shape. I was able to do some 5-on-0, run up and down a little bit. Tomorrow I’ll be a little better.”…
Coastal erosion combined with tropical activity over the years has led to 20 beach house collapses along North Carolina’s Outer Banks since 2020, wiping away years of memories and leaving behind piles of wreckage and debris. CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Southeast coast is bracing for continued coastal flooding as seasonal King Tides, this month’s Supermoon and persistent onshore flow combine to push coastal water levels higher through midweek.The unusually high tides are partially the result of the full Moon’s gravitational pull and its closest approach to Earth, with tide levels expected to peak by midweek.As a result, numerous weather alerts…
As the U.S. headed for a government shutdown, Republicans repeatedly accused Democrats of forcing the closure because they want to give health care access to immigrants in the U.S. illegally. “Democrats are threatening to shut down the entire government because they want to give hundreds of billions of dollars of healthcare benefits to illegal aliens,” Vice President JD Vance said Sept. 28 on “Fox News Sunday.” President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican members of Congress have repeated this line. It’s wrong. Democrats have refused to vote for Republicans’ resolution to extend the federal spending deadline, and their…
On my (endlessly expanding) “to-read” list is Nicholas Wade’s book The Origin of Politics: How Evolution and Ideology Shape the Fate of Nations. The book seems like it can offer insight into a question I’ve been curious about for a while: What separates rules or systems that run “against human nature” in a way that is sustainable and beneficial, from those that run against human nature in a way that is fundamentally untenable? Recently, Wade was a guest, talking about his book, on Michael Shermer’s podcast, so I gave it a listen. They discussed, among other things, the kibbutz movement—a…

FOX Weather is your Hurricane HQ. (FOX Weather)The broad, disorganized disturbance in the far eastern Atlantic doesn’t seem to know what month it is. It’s trying to act like a system in the heart of hurricane season.There’s a strong consensus in the computer forecast models that the system will track toward the northeastern Caribbean late next week. There is no consensus, however, on how strong it will be when it arrives in the vicinity of the northeastern islands Thursday or Friday. Area to watch in the Atlantic.

Less than two months after a cordial summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, the White House is considering sending Ukraine long-range Tomahawk missiles, a move that Putin called a “completely new stage of escalation” on Thursday. Sending the powerful weapons—which could reach Moscow—would mark another major political shift from an administration that until recently appeared skeptical of Ukraine’s chances of winning the war against Russia. Less than two months after a cordial summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, the White House is considering sending Ukraine long-range Tomahawk missiles, a move that Putin called a “completely new…
My nowcast of BLS private nonfarm payroll employment was for a decreaes of 78K, but with a very wide prediction interval. This is an aggregate number; however, we can infer certain trends from the disaggregate (by firm size) numbers from ADP. The financial accelerator approach (e.g., BBG, 1996)implies that smaller firms (with less collateral) will evidence a slowdown sooner than larger firms. Using the 500 employee cutoff, can we see the differential trends in the data? Figure 1: Change in employment from May 2025 in firms with less than 500 employees (blue), in firms with 500 and more employees (tan),…
Play was brought to a standstill during Austria’s 2026 World Cup qualifier against Cyprus after a sinkhole suddenly appeared on the pitch late in the second half.The bizarre incident occurred around the 75th minute, when Danish referee Jakob Kehlet halted the match after noticing the gaping hole near Austria keeper Alexander Schlager’s box at the Raiffeisen Arena, in Linz. The opening was wide enough to swallow an entire football, prompting ground staff to rush on with buckets of sand in a frantic attempt to patch it up.After more than seven minutes of repairs, Kehlet finally gave the green light to…
