New York CNN —Price distortions and dysfunction are nothing new in the $73 billion wedding industry. For better or worse, many brides are using the drugs ahead of their big day, lured in by the promise of rapid weight loss. The right fitThe ideal time to buy a wedding dress is eight to 10 months before the event, according to wedding planning site the Knot, and some planners recommend buying a full year in advance in case of shipping delays. “Usually, the dress was ordered somewhere in the middle of those 50 pounds.”It’s hard to overstate how such drastic weight loss can complicate a wedding dress’ fit. “Weight loss has always been a top of priority.

New York CNN —“Mtn Dew” is getting a makeover, with the word “mountain” reappearing on cans and bottles following a roughly two-decade-long hiatus. “Mountain Dew appears ready to shake off the adrenaline rush that has defined the brand’s marketing for almost two decades, when a key strategy was to market Dew like an energy drink to an energy drink crowd,” Duane Stanford, editor and publisher of Beverage Digest, told CNN. A major change in marketing is essential for Mountain Dew. The new look for Mountain Dew is more about an “evolution and nurturing that we wanted to give to this beloved franchise,” said JP Bittencourt, vice president of marketing at Mountain Dew. “This design has been in the works for some time, so this is not a response to anybody.”A rebrand could also attract drinkers that have perhaps forgotten about Mountain Dew.

The storm continues to fluctuate in intensity as it approaches the state's west coast and is expected to make landfall as a Category 4 hurricane, the second-highest rating. As of Wednesday morning, a storm surge warning is in effect for the central to southern west coast of Florida, including Tampa. Vehicles move through a partially flooded street in Dunedin ahead of Hurricane Milton's expected landfall tonight on October 9, 2024 in Florida. The hurricane will likely make landfall late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning, according to the NHC.

▼ + stars: | 2024-10-09 | by ( Jeff Cox | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Federal Reserve policymakers have been breathing easier lately regarding inflation, and that faith that they're closer to achieving their goal will get a key test Thursday. Specifically, the Labor Department's reading is expected to show an annual inflation rate of 2.2% and a monthly gain of just 0.1%, according to the Dow Jones consensus. However, following a much better than expected jobs report for September, Fed officials in recent days have indicated a likely more measured approach to cuts ahead. Details in Thursday's report will matter: Housing inflation has proven to be stubborn, though policymakers still expect lower rent renewals to feed into the data the months progress. The report hits just after the S & P 500 rose to a new record on Wednesday.

Florida authorities issued dire warnings Tuesday to residents in Hurricane Milton's path, telling them "time is running out" to flee the potentially historic storm that's set make landfall in a day's time. The Category 4 hurricane, bordering on Category 5, was expected to reach Florida's Gulf Coast between 10 p.m Wednesday and 2 a.m. Thursday, according to the latest forecasts. "What everyone has been saying is, you have to evacuate, it is not survivable to survive a 10- to 15-foot storm surge," Alpert told NBC News on Tuesday.

Nguyen: With Aaron Rodgers’ age and their defense, the Jets have a small window to make some noise. In theory, Adams would also add some much-needed explosiveness to a Jets offense that entered this week ranked 29th in the NFL in total yards and 27th in points. The Bills’ defense also suffered losses in free agency, and holes went unfilled even though Buffalo’s top competitors in the AFC include elite offenses in Kansas City, Baltimore and Cincinnati. Watson isn’t just not playing well, he’s playing like one of the worst quarterbacks in the league. Maybe improved offensive production would help ease pressure on the Browns’ defense.
