The relievers stitched together 27 outs against a Mets team that had appeared allergic to cardiac arrest this month. AdvertisementWhen Dodgers officials thought about Ohtani, they conjured fantasies about endless streams of revenue and a decade of contending for the World Series. For a few hours after the story broke, Dodgers team president Stan Kasten wondered if the team had built its future around a fraud. The Dodgers hung nine runs on the Mets in Game 1, eight in Game 3 and 10 in Game 4. In Game 6, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza turned to Sean Manaea, his best starter, who had quieted the Dodgers in Game 2.

At Starbucks, Niccol inherits a company that under previous leadership consistently disappointed investors with weakening sales, including back-to-back periods of negative same-store sales growth this year. Operations Upon taking over Chipotle, Niccol's focus was on improving operations after the rise of digital orders complicated execution and increased wait times. The addition of shelves alone accelerated the use of Chipotle's second "make line," where digital orders are prepared in the back of the store. To rebuild consumer trust at Chipotle, Chipotle launched the "Behind the Foil" campaign to showcase transparency in food preparation. His marketing approach "brought new news in a positive way toward Chipotle," Silberman said.

The Justice Department said Sunday that the Secret Service and the FBI are investigating the incident in Coachella, California, about a quarter-mile from the rally venue. A Secret Service official said in a statement: "We were contacted as it happened and Secret Service agents conducted a productive intelligence interview. Asked about the arrest, a Trump campaign official appeared unaware of the incident. On July 13, a gunman hit Trump in the ear and fatally shot a man at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

According to Clearview Energy Partners, Russian crude prices over the last four weeks have averaged about six cents below the Brent crude price. Record volumes of sanctioned Russian oil were carried by the "dark fleet" and known sanctioned tankers without known insurance over September, according to a recent report from Lloyd's List. The Price Cap Coalition continues to engage with industry to ensure compliance with the price cap and to increase Putin's costs of going outside it." The increased use of dark fleet vessels comes with greater maritime safety and environmental risks. Insurance giant Allianz said in May that dark fleet tankers had been linked to more than 50 accidents.

▼ + stars: | 2024-10-14 | by ( Matt Egan | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

New York CNN —Hurricane Milton passed through Florida days ago, but the devastating storm is still causing chaos at gas stations. Hundreds of gas stations in Florida still don’t have gas, including roughly half of the stations in the hard-hit Tampa area. Meanwhile, the number of gas stations without gas has fallen sharply. This represents a significant improvement, although it still means that more than 1,300 Florida gas stations remain dry five days after Hurricane Milton made landfall. Florida gas stations are out of fuel following the storm that made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane in the Siesta Key area of Florida, causing damage and flooding throughout Central Florida.

All kinds of startups are rushing into the AI inference market. AdvertisementJared Quincy Davis and his AI computing startup Foundry sell inference. And cost in inference computing is even more important than in training, Groq cofounder Jonathan Ross recently told BI. In other words, "it turns out, when you make inference cheaper, people decide to do a lot more inference," Davis said. He agrees the next few years will be wildly competitive for inference providers, but he believes the winners will be decided on merit.
