The average price per gallon of gas in the U.S. on Thursday is $3.47, according to AAA, representing the biggest weekly decline Americans have experienced in nearly four months. “Increasing supply and fewer drivers fueling up have pushed pump prices lower,” AAA reported. “As demand remains low and stocks grow, drivers will likely see pump prices keep falling.” Energy Information Administration data last week showed gas demand fell from 8....

How much it will taint a treasured athletic entity remains to be seen. Will it result in coach Roy Williams’ demise? How much of Rashad McCants’ allegations will be proved true? And will the Tar Heels pay with sanctions because of the school’s academics scandal? Kenneth Wainstein, a former high-ranking U.S. Justice Department official, revealed his findings from witnesses and records in the investigation. Findings were provided to university officials last week for review and to the NCAA....

First, suggest that they start now, since employers hire early for the summer. Usually resumes aren’t necessary for entry-level positions at movie theaters and fast-food joints; they should pick up an application instead. When they go in, they should dress “like the other people who work there,” says Renee Ward of teens4hire.org, and avoid peak hours. For the interview, coach your teen to use anecdotes that demonstrate responsibility. If all else fails, try the networking game....

ABC affiliate station WATE-TV reported that, in a press release, Sheriff Ron Seals said first responders were called to the house at about 6:15 p.m after hearing that an infant was not breathing following a dog attack. The first responders discovered that the infant was dead when they arrived and another person in the house was injured. When the dog became aggressive with first responders, it was put down at the scene....

Bonnie managed to escape from her home in Bolney, West Sussex on Sunday, unsurprisingly worrying her entire family. The dog had even managed to escape just when she had no collar on, after it was removed for her fur to be brushed. The pooch was about to have the adventure of a lifetime however, arriving home with a rosette in tow, crowned third-place in the rescue dog class at a show in Felbridge, 17 miles away....

Cave Springs Police Lieutenant Keith Lawson told Newsweek: “On Wednesday, December 14th, 2022, at approximately 12:20 PM the Cave Springs Police and Fire Departments responded to a call of a four-day-old female who had been bitten by the family dog, a three-year-old Siberian Husky. The infant suffered severe injuries to her head.” An estimated 4.5 million dog bites occur each year in the U.S. and at least half of these are inflicted on children....

That’s what happened to Emily Jean Henry and her family, who recently went viral on TikTok with their find under their newly-purchased Arkansas home from the 1980s. The home was custom-built for the owners. “When we were buying this house we were told that at one point in this custom-built house, there was an indoor swimming pool, but that the pool was gone and that they had turned the swimming pool into a ginormous game room,” Henry said in a TikTok video posted in August....

In a statement to Newsweek, San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Jodi Miller confirmed that the body of Malcolm Harsch, a 38-year-old African-American man, was discovered hanging from a tree near the Victorville city library and a homeless encampment on May 31. Deputies responded to the incident at 7:07 a.m. local time. “There is an active death investigation being conducted,” Miller said. “There were no indications at the scene that suggested foul play....

On July 7, Salvatore Anello, known as Sam, lifted up 18-month-old Chloe Wiegand to a window when Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas was docked at Puerto Rico. The family said the girl liked to bang on glass. But the family says that he was unaware that the window was open, and Wiegand slipped through, falling 11 stories to the deck below. On Monday, Anello, 50, was arrested and charged with negligent homicide before being released on an $80,000 bond, the BBC reported....

Such is the claim of the family of Joseph Chernach, a Wisconsin man who killed himself at age 25 in 2012. The family is suing the Pop Warner Foundation for $5 million after an autopsy revealed Chernach suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE , The New York Times reported. Chernach’s family produced a 27-page complaint claiming the youth football organization “knew or should have known that tackle football was dangerous for children and exposed children to head injuries, including dementia pugilistica,” which is a variant of CTE....

Toddlers used to have to sit on the sidelines–or home with Grandma–while their parents had all the fun. But in the past few years, resorts and equipment makers have made it easier for even the littlest kids to get in on the action. Equipment makers are rolling out tiny boots, poles, helmets and sunglasses, and resorts are introducing “pre-ski” programs for kids as young as 2. “The earlier you fall in love with skiing or snowboarding, the longer you participate,” says Michael Berry, president of the National Ski Areas Association....

After the Angels power hitter collected his 2,000th career RBI on a home run against the Tigers on Thursday to become just the fifth player ever to surpass that mark, Pujols asked for the ball back from the fan who caught it. Pujols offered the man autographs and the Tigers even put up “all kinds of offers” in return for the ball. But the fan, a man identified as Eli Hydes, refused to give the ball back to Pujols, according to the Orange County Register....

To determine the best values in today’s rankings, I run projections that include opponent’s strength, betting situation, handedness, park factor, projected Game Score, power/finesse pitching tendencies along with ground-ball/fly-ball tendencies. If you have any last-minute questions, you can find me on Twitter (@RyNoonan). Regardless of whether you’re playing in a cash game or GPP tournament, there’s a significant advantage to be gleaned from stacking. Rostering multiple players who (ideally) bat consecutively in the lineup allows you to benefit from the offensive windfall when a team has a good inning....

Nintendo surprised everyone Thursday by announcing a slew of new games and products to celebrate Mario’s 35th anniversary. One of these games is the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection, which brings Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy to the Nintendo Switch for the first time. The collection will be released on September 18, but will only be available until approximately March 31, 2021. If that last line sounded odd, that’s because Nintendo will only distribute physical copies of the game until the end of March 2021, and will put the game from the Nintendo eShop so players won’t be able to purchase and download it digitally....

The Badgers (25-3, 13-2 Big Ten) were held to a season-low 20 points in first half and could never catch the Terrapins (23-5, 11-4 Big Ten).

Heading into this season, we list six catchers who stand out above the rest. Most sites aren’t as excited about Gary Sanchez, but few catchers possess his power potential, so, despite his obvious drag on batting average, we like his upside. He’ll likely go lower than we have him ranked, but that presents value if you’re just looking for homers. DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: 2021 Fantasy Baseball Cheat Sheet It’s important to remember that just because catcher is a top-heavy position, you don’t need to reach....

Third Base 1st selected: Miguel Cabrera, 1st round (4th overall) 6th selected: Ryan Zimmerman, 6th round (70) 12th selected: Pablo Sandoval, 14th round (158) Analysis: Third base is essentially as shallow as second or shortstop, but with four 3Bs going in the first 20 picks (Miguel Cabrera, Adrian Beltre at 12, David Wright at 19 and Evan Longoria at 20), it definitely features more elite talent....
