Golfer Brian Harman said a family friend has been in a coma for nearly six weeks after she jumped into the water to save his 6-year-old son from drowning. Harman told reporters ahead of the RSM Classic on St. Simons Island, Georgia, on Tuesday that his family was on vacation in Florida along with their friend, Cathy Dowdy, when the incident occurred. When I was in China, my wife took my kids and our family friend Cathy Dowdy down to Ponte Vedra for vacation. My son ... was out boogie boarding with one of his really good friends, he got ripped out to sea by just a rip current. The professional golfer said Dowdy was "injured really badly in the water” and has spent the past six weeks in a hospital.

The Army is doing what it can to make it easier for its football team and the man in charge. As he watched his very first practice as athletic director, Buddie saw his football coach picking up errant wrappers on the field. The Army football team wakes up before sunrise and leaves the practice field after dark, unbeaten and almost too busy to notice anyone noticing. Army coach Jeff Monken, 57, is the second-winningest coach in program history. And Jeff Monken is still the Army football coach.

CNN —American golfer Brian Harman said on Tuesday that a woman is in a coma after trying to save his son from drowning in October. The incident occurred when Harman was in China and his wife and children were vacationing in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Another man, Crane Cantrell, entered the water and pulled Harman’s son to safety. “(Dowdy) went in the water after my son,” Harman told reporters, via the PGA Tour. “They disregarded their selves, went into the water, saved my son, and how do you thank people like that?

☆ After Democrats lost the working class, union leaders say it's time to 'reconstruct the Democratic Party'

But whether they are measured by income or educational attainment, President-elect Donald Trump won working-class voters overall while he made strong gains among nonwhite working-class voters like Hispanics and Asian Americans. As recently as 2012, non-college-educated voters were splitting their votes evenly or even slightly in favor of Democrats. But that has left the party’s leaders, donors, operatives and other decision-makers more removed from the lives of low- and middle-income workers, some labor leaders say. But there is widespread frustration that Trump outflanked Democrats to position himself as a champion of working people, as well as dissatisfaction with Democrats not limited to white or male union members. But that policy was not enough to overcome larger societal forces that have led many working-class voters to doubt Democrats’ commitment to their well-being.

The conservative shift comes as streamers try to make every dollar count but face cultural hurdles. The Prime Video series will be the first to come out of Amazon's deal with The Wonder Project, a Christian-focused production company for faith-based films and TV shows.

That’s because small businesses typically having tighter profit margins compared to behemoths like Walmart and Amazon, so they feel the sting of rising costs more acutely. The Small Business Index shows that 8 in 10 small retail businesses rely on holiday sales to meet their annual profit goals. If only it were that simple for small businesses. John Waldmann, chief executive of Homebase, a payroll software provider for more than 100,000 small businesses, said Enjou Chocolat’s dilemma is something he hears all the time. “Small businesses are really reticent to increase prices, so when they do, it’s because they have to,” Waldmann said.

Miami Beach, Florida AP —A bodyless head that washed ashore in South Florida has been identified as that of a 19-year-old swimmer who went missing in Miami Beach after he tried to rescue his younger sister from a rip current, authorities said. Meanwhile, a man’s head was found November 12 by a beach worker in Key Biscayne, the barrier island just off Miami. Castaneda and his sister were swimming at Miami Beach’s South Point Beach when a rip current caught them. A bystander went into the water and rescued the girl, but when that person went back to help Castaneda, he was nowhere to be found, family members said. “He would have loved to see how many people have come and come together and love him wholeheartedly,” Castaneda’s sister, Chloe, told WBFS-TV.

But for some people, this is the dream: They're watching Netflix at 1.5x speed. What craven need for speed goes on in the dopamine-wrecked frontal cortex of someone who watches stuff at super speed? Netflix's "Love Is Blind" was mentioned several times as an example of something great to speed watch. Our modern, insatiable appetite for video content might mean that we've adapted and stretched our brains to watch faster and faster. As much as I'd like to accuse these speed watchers of being monsters, I have to consider my own preferred method of watching movies: at regular speed, on the big TV — but looking at my phone the entire time.

☆ Hurricane Rafael moves across Gulf of Mexico as a rare major November storm while Cuba recovers

Rafael was moving west across the Gulf of Mexico Friday morning as the first major hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico in November for almost 40 years, bringing the threat of life-threatening conditions to the southern United States coastline. Forecasters said the storm could cause dangerous surf and rip-tides across the whole Gulf region in the coming days, after causing havoc in Cuba where millions are still without power. ET Rafael was 585 miles east of the mouth of the Rio Grande with sustained wind speeds of 120 mph, making it a Category 3 hurricane, moving west at a rate of 9 mph, the National Hurricane Center said. Rafael is now tied with Hurricane Kate in 1985 as the strongest storms recorded in the Gulf. The storm is expected to weaken throughout the weekend, but it could still produce tropical storm-force winds — which is between 39 and 73 mph — up to 115 miles from its center.

Hurricane Rafael has turned to the west after lashing Cuba where it knocked out the country’s electrical grid, leaving its 10 million residents in the dark. Rafael will continue to move away from western Cuba on Thursday and will weaken over the central Gulf of Mexico. “On the forecast track, Rafael is expected to move over the southern Gulf of Mexico for the next few days,” the National Hurricane Center said. A man walks through a darkened street due to a blackout after the pass of hurricane Rafael in Havana, on Wednesday. I hope all the power will be restored when the storm is over,” Havana resident Mabel Suarez told Reuters.

After playing to the coasts, Hollywood is leaning toward faith and family-based shows and films. The Prime Video series will be the first to come out of Amazon's deal with The Wonder Project, a Christian-focused production company, for faith-based films and TV shows. After playing to the coasts with shows that embraced progressive themes, Hollywood is leaning into broadly appealing fare. That shift has included a combination of undeniably faith-based, conservative-themed, and family-aimed entertainment, agents, producers, and industry experts say.

Given a second chance to resuscitate his young career, Bryce Young produced something equally as rare during Week 9 of the NFL season — a victory for the Carolina Panthers. 1 overall pick of the 2023 NFL draft, who was benched earlier this season after just 18 career starts, led Carolina on a game-winning drive to beat New Orleans 23-22. After the Panthers took over with 3:26 left in the fourth quarter trailing 22-17, Young threw a pair of incompletions before he found Xavier Legette for 26 yards. On the next play, Young threw the ball high downfield, inducing a pass interference penalty that moved the ball 16 yards from the end zone. Less common is the benched starter who returns to earn full favor within an organization that had lost enough confidence to initially sit him.

In states where tensions have long boiled over reproductive rights, family planning experts say women face mounting barriers to getting birth control.

The Right Time initiative is part of Michelle Trupiano's work at Missouri Family Health Council that reduces costs and helps Missourians to obtain birth control.
