An Arizona produce company is recalling all sizes of its whole, fresh American cucumbers in 26 states and parts of Canada because they could be contaminated with salmonella, it said. Recalled cucumbers from SunFed were also sold in parts of Canada. "As soon as we learned of this issue, we immediately acted to protect consumers," SunFed President Craig Slate said in a statement. Cucumbers also were recalled earlier this year in South Florida, where at least 551 people were likely sickened by salmonella and 155 hospitalized. Many of the recalled cucumbers were linked to Bedner Growers Inc., and Thomas Produce Co., both of Palm Beach County, Florida, according to the FDA.

Mike DeWine signed a bill Wednesday banning transgender students from using school restrooms that align with their gender identities. The bill also mandates that Ohio schools cannot have restrooms or locker rooms that are open to all genders, excluding family facilities or single-occupancy facilities. Instead, it will make trans people less safe and fail to increase the safety of all students,” Antonio wrote. Ohio House Republicans attached the legislation about restrooms to proposals regarding report card data for Ohio’s college credit program for high school students. “Extremist politicians are panicking because transgender students exist," Willingham-Jaggers said.

The Kansas City Chiefs' most important catch happened after Sunday's win against the Carolina Panthers, when defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton saved a young fan who fell from the stands. The moment Wharton caught the child was captured on video. Wharton told The Pat McAfee Show that it was a "natural reaction" to catch the child. The video shows Wharton, 26, lift the child back up into the stands. He said he hopes to connect with the child and invite him to another Chiefs game.

CNN —After quite possibly saving a child’s life on Sunday, Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton has invited the young fan to a game. Wharton caught the child after he fell headfirst from the Bank of America Stadium stands following the Chiefs’ 30-27 win against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday. The child loses his footing before falling headfirst from the stands, which are roughly 10 feet above the ground. It is not clear from the video whether a railing gave way, or whether the particular area that the young fan was leaning over was not covered by a fence. But I just had to kind of, like, push him into the stands a little bit to make sure he didn’t hit too hard,” he continued.

☆ This charitable giving strategy 'almost always' provides the biggest tax break, advisor says
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-27 | by ( Kate Dore | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The strategy "almost always has the highest tax advantage," compared to other giving options, said certified financial planner Sandi Weaver, owner of Weaver Financial in Mission, Kansas. QCD tax break is 'better than a deduction'When filing taxes, you must claim the standard deduction or your total itemized deductions, including charitable gifts, whichever is greater. That means most filers don't claim the charitable deduction. Higher AGI can trigger income-related monthly adjustment amounts, or IRMAA, for Medicare Part B and Part D premiums, Weaver explained. There's a two-year lookback, meaning 2024 premiums are based on MAGI from your 2022 tax return.

Week 12 saw plenty of heavy favorites face underdogs, but it didn’t prove as simple as many thought. Barkley rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in the Eagles’ Week 1 victory over the Green Bay Packers. While that still might be the case, it’s not been smooth sailing for the Texans through 12 weeks of the season. He has struggled behind a porous offensive line and that affected the running game on Sunday with Mixon only having 22 yards on 14 carries. The Seahawks currently lead the division having gotten the favorable tiebreaker thanks to their Week 12 home victory over the Cardinals.

CNN —Can the green shoots of clean energy break through the “brown blockade”? Those huge current and planned investments in new manufacturing plants may represent the sole opportunity to preserve any elements of Biden’s blueprint for growing the domestic clean energy industry. Republican districts are slated to receive an equally large share of another $435 billion in clean energy projects that have been announced but not yet built, the analysis found. The US reliance on the fossil fuels driving climate change has been declining for years, but only at a modest pace. Yet interrupting that transition by repealing the federal policies benefiting clean energy remains a dangerous gamble.

Here's what to know about charitable tax breaks before swiping your credit card or transferring funds, according to financial advisors. How the charitable deduction worksWhen filing taxes, you claim the standard deduction or your total itemized deductions, whichever is bigger. The latter includes a tax break for charitable gifts, medical expenses and state and local taxes, or SALT, among others. For 2024, the standard deduction is $14,600 for single taxpayers and $29,200 for married couples filing together. Plus, you can satisfy yearly required minimum distributions, or RMDs, with a QCD, according to the IRS.

And his administration may also be forced to choose whether to pursue other changes, such as how the abortion drug mifepristone is regulated. “Back in April, President Trump made clear that he thinks abortion policy should be left to the states,” Kniffin said.
