Another day at Euro 2024, another trio of goalscoring games — even if the entertainment factor dipped off at points. The Netherlands overcame Poland with a 2-1 win, Denmark were held to a 1-1 draw by Slovenia, while England beat Serbia 1-0. But the goals, a lack of shots in one game and the results don’t tell the whole story of the day. The feel-good moment of the daySunday marked 1,100 days since Christian Eriksen collapsed at Copenhagen’s Parken stadium during a Euro 2020 game against Finland after suffering a cardiac arrest. He’s not fazed by anything, but will be key to England if they want to have a chance of winning Euro 2024.

An article in the school's student paper that included Coughlin's purported remarks. Coughlin, first elected student body president in 1989, had the power to appoint a new senator. That led another student senator to accuse Coughlin of discriminating against the student on the basis of his sexuality, at which point the student paper quoted Coughlin in February as saying he was "homophobic." In the guest column he wrote two weeks later, Coughlin sought to straighten things out, saying he had appoint another student because of his previous service in student government. The future state lawmaker would go on to lose reelection as student body president that spring, owing in part to the controversy.

☆ Biden's gasoline sale likely won't have a major impact on summer pump prices

Gas prices trending lowerOil prices surged last month as Israel and OPEC member Iran stood on the brink of war, raising concern at the White House that gasoline prices could jump heading into the summer. When adjusting for inflation, pump prices are about 2% lower compared to last year, according to the Energy Information Administration. Even in costly California, gasoline prices are down about 27 cents over the past four weeks, he said. But de Haan said gasoline prices will likely edge lower through the Fourth of July holiday as refiners increase output, which should keep downward pressure on pump prices. "Since the pandemic, the summer driving season has not seen a surge in demand, which can push pump prices higher," said Gross, the AAA spokesperson.

CNN —Former NBA champion Glen Davis has been sentenced to 40 months in prison for his part in a scheme to defraud the league’s health care plan out of millions of dollars, according to federal court records from the Southern District of New York. Davis – whose nickname while he played in the NBA was “Big Baby” – was also ordered to pay $80,000 in restitution, according to court documents. In November, Davis was found guilty of wire fraud, health care fraud, conspiracy to commit health care fraud and conspiracy to make false statements related to health care matters, court documents show. Williams, who has been called the “leader of the conspiracy” by prosecutors, pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud in 2022, according to a judgment order. The scheme, Strauss said, began around November 2017.

"Yellowstone" has been hit by several setbacks, delaying the release of its final episodes. There's a question mark over whether Kevin Costner will reprise his role as protagonist John Dutton. AdvertisementAfter months of speculation, it's official: "Yellowstone" is expected to return to wrap up its fifth and final season later this year. The first eight episodes of season five began airing on the Paramount Network in late 2022 before the cliffhanger midseason finale dropped on January 1, 2023. Now, it's been confirmed that the Dutton family saga will come to a close this year, with the final episodes scheduled to begin airing in November 2024.

McDonald's McDonald's has also drawn a death cross. CVS Health Unlike the other two names, CVS Health is nearing a death cross.

My wife and I live in a century-old home in Sacramento, but also own 13 investment properties spread throughout Texas and California. In 2004, we bought a $300,000 investment property, a duplex in Midtown Sacramento, which we rent out. AdvertisementLast year, I built two cottages on the duplex's lot and began renting them out as ADUs. After several months of collaboration with the company's design team, we submitted an application to the city of Sacramento. AdvertisementWith Sacramento allowing up to 1,200 square feet per ADU, I chose to build two 600-square-foot cottages on the lot.
