Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:34:41 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — It all started on a late morning on a highway. A camera panned to the cab of a large semi-trailer truck. The driver wore a plaid shirt and a day's growth of beard. Next to him was a mysterious hitchhiker in expensive clothes that were ripped and a fresh head wound.He got out at Genoa City. And he stayed.That’s how “The Young and the Restless ” began on March 26, 1973, and a lot of people also stuck around Genoa City. The soap opera celebrates its 50th anniversary this month as the No. 1 daytime drama for 35 consecutive years, with fans growing up alongside the actors.“I think a huge reason why the audience has stuck with us for so long is because we are the same people.

Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, “The Young and the Restless” concerns the goings-on of several Midwes...

5 biggest things Fed Chair Powell said about the banking crisis

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:34:41 GMT

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced a 0.25 percentage point rate hike on Wednesday after a closely watched meeting of the central bank’s rate-setting committee, which many analysts had been hoping would result in a pause.Prioritizing concerns about inflation over recent instability in the banking sector, which has spurred interventions from both the government and larger U.S. banks, Powell called the financial sector “sound and resilient.”But he also dropped some hints that things may not be as peaceful as they appear on the surface and as government officials have been saying they are. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told a banking group this week financial conditions were stabilizing.Powell also acknowledged that the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) that sparked the wider crisis in the banking industry happened despite the engagement of the Fed’s supervisory regulators.Still rising: Fed hikes rates despite concerns over banking crisisHere’s a recap of the most import...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Nuggets coach Michael Malone was frustrated and dumbfounded before he perked up at the sound of cuss words.On the way back to the halftime locker room Wednesday night, after the Nuggets had sleep-walked through the first two quarters and were actually down two to the hometown Wizards, Malone trailed Jamal Murray in the hallway when he heard some encouraging words.“We’re (BS-ing) right now,” Malone recounted hearing from his star point guard after the Nuggets bludgeoned Washington in the second half to seize a 118-104 win.Malone heard his fiery playmaker raise his voice and question the effort and intensity they’d just displayed.With nine games left in the regular season, the first half was hardly the type of basketball that would engender any optimism heading into the playoffs. And yet, Malone was heartened by the fact that one of his two star players felt compelled to raise their voice and criticize.“I thought he was a leader tonight,” Malone said. “… We need our...

"More potholes. My wife had one this month earlier, so this is my second tow truck this month on the 210 Freeway, and it probably won't be the last, so that is really frustrating."Earlier this week, the 71 Freeway in Pomona experienced similar issues near the Holt Avenue exit.Repairing the damage done by potholes can be costly — about $600, according to AAA — and while that is usually covered by car insurance, it may not be worth filing a claim if you have a high deductible. Instead, drivers can file a claim with the government. Caltrans, which handles...
