MANCHESTER, England (AP) — First Tom Brady, and now Wayne Rooney. Rooney, a Manchester United great who previously held the record for most goals for England's national team, was appointed manager of the second-division team on Wednesday — only weeks after Brady came onboard as a minority owner. The club parted ways with former manager John Eustace on Monday, leading to some criticism on social media. Rooney was manager of English club Derby from 2020-22.

An increasing number of buyers are purchasing homes in the fall and winter, Opendoor found. If the housing market normalizes, home buying could shift back to spring and summer, an expert said. A recent study from Opendoor found that the fall and winter months have become popular with home sellers. Despite a slump in the housing market, it's positive news for both sellers and buyers — demand still exists. "The housing market has gone through a period of distortion caused by mortgage rates being kept too low for too long," he told Insider.

Gordon isn't the only victim of this type of fraud — known as home-title fraud, land fraud, or seller-impersonation fraud — where scammers impersonate the rightful owner of a property by forging documents in order to sell it. Petrescu and Gordon share a few measures property owners can implement to help stop land fraud from happening to them. That may seem like an obvious one, but for a vacant piece of property, owners might forgo that extra security. He used the same title company to buy the land and to refinance it a year later. "Here we have the same title company that I used, and now the fraudster's using the same title company," Gordon said.

It would be hard to imagine operating the parks or streaming businesses without owning the popular franchises that fuel them.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The average long-term U.S. mortgage rate edged up again this week, another setback for would-be homebuyers navigating an increasingly less affordable housing market. The average rate on the benchmark 30-year home loan rose to 7.19% from 7.18% last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday. The average rate rose to 6.54% from 6.51% last week. Mortgage rates have been echoing moves in the 10-year Treasury yield, which lenders use as a guide to pricing loans. The average rate on a 30-year mortgage is now more than double what it was two years ago, when it was just 2.88%.

However, excluding volatile food and energy, the core CPI increased 0.3% and 4.3%, respectively, against estimates for 0.2% and 4.3%. Federal Reserve officials focus more on core as it provides a better indication of where inflation is heading over the long term. Inflation posted its biggest monthly increase this year in August as consumers faced higher prices on energy and a variety of other items. Food prices rose 0.2% while shelter costs, which make up about one-third of the CPI weighting, climbed 0.3%. Within shelter, the rent of primary residence index rose 0.5% and increased 7.8% from a year ago.

Instead, the tournament uses Hawk-Eye Live, an electronic line-calling system, to determine whether a tennis shot is in or out. Electronic line-calling has been around tennis since the 1980s, dating back to Cyclops, a system used during Wimbledon to judge if a ball was in play or not. "During that match, the U.S. Open was trialing a Hawk-Eye system," said Clarey. After the match, Williams received an apology and the umpire was dismissed. "The NBA have chosen Sony and Hawk-Eye technology because it raises the level of their game," said Theresa Alesso, president of Imaging Products and Solutions Americas at Sony.
