A North Carolina man made a “calculated risk,” jumping into fast-moving, Helene-swollen waters to save a woman because he “couldn’t watch her die.”Eddie Hunnell, 57, was in Grassy Creek ahead of son Austin Hunnell’s Saturday wedding when he saw floodwaters picking up Lesley Worth’s home. “When it was happening, I was trying to make a calculated risk. How do we save her?” said Hunnell, who lives about 200 miles away in Holly Springs, just outside Raleigh. I was a lifeguard (and I’m in) OK shape and I just couldn’t watch her die," he told NBC affiliate WRAL in an interview that aired Monday. “I felt like I needed to do that.”It wasn’t until Hunnell went to bed that the event’s enormity struck him.

A coalition of reproductive rights organizations is unleashing a $15 million advertising campaign backing abortion rights as Arizona faces a key ballot measure on the issue this fall. The ad blitz from Arizona for Abortion Access includes broadcast, streaming, radio and mail advertisements that will blanket the state through Election Day — and as early voting kicks off in the state on Oct. 9. The group has spent about $2 million on advertising in the last two months, according to the tracking firm AdImpact. The ad is Arizona for Abortion Access’ second spot on the Arizona airwaves. Abortion is legal in Arizona up to 15 weeks and then beyond that, for medical emergencies, any medical emergency,” Dahlgren said.

Prosecutors filed murder, kidnapping, robbery, and carjacking charges Monday against the man suspected of hijacking an LA Metro bus last week, murdering a passenger, and leading police on an hour-long chase through downtown Los Angeles. He was riding the Metro bus to commute home from his job at Dodger Stadium when it was commandeered. Several other passengers on the bus were described in court papers filed Monday as victims of various crimes that occurred during the hijacking. LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn, who also chairs the Metro transit system board of directors, said crime that occurs on the Metro system is often a reflection of what goes on in the communities it serves. “But when it happens on a Metro bus or a train, it obviously becomes national news,” Hahn said.

☆ Silicon Valley has a plan to save humanity: Just flip on the nuclear reactors
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-01 | by ( Allison Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

No, the tech that’s going to save humanity will be powered by the tech that very nearly destroyed it. The tech industry’s solution, for now, is nuclear energy, which is more stable than wind or solar and is virtually carbon-emission-free. Amazon is working on putting a data center campus right on the site of a Talen Energy nuclear power plant in Northeast Pennsylvania. And while AI doomer predictions often get brushed off as alarmist forecasts, you can’t as readily dismiss the folks who are concerned about nuclear energy. Bottom line: There’s no AI future without a serious uptick in our power supply, which makes the expansion of nuclear power practically unavoidable.

China is at risk of falling into a prolonged period of deflation, Yale economist Stephen Roach says. The country's monetary stimulus blitz was a move in the right direction, Roach said in an FT op-ed. The two missing pieces are fiscal support and structural reform, Roach wrote in a new op-ed for the Financial Times.

Sure, many small businesses aren't glamorous — think dental practices or accounting firms — and they involve long hours and unpredictable market forces. The US Small Business Administration said in July that there were nearly 35 million small businesses in the US. Fewer than two-thirds of small businesses in the US in 2022 were profitable, and over a million businesses of all sizes close each year. Traditionally, small businesses were family businesses, and the eldest male child was expected to take it over when the patriarch was ready to step down. Buying up small businesses allows people without wealthy boomer parents to cash in on the trillions of dollars of wealth the generation is sitting on.
