“The Secret Service has become bureaucratic, complacent, and static even though risks have multiplied and technology has evolved,” the panel wrote in its report released Wednesday. A refreshment of leadership, with new perspectives, will contribute to the Service’s resolution of those issues,” the panel wrote.

When I rang the Camberwell, South London, doorbell of Florence Welch, I held a tribute: “The Penguin Book of Spiritual Verse” (2022), edited by Kaveh Akbar. Exacerbating the mixed craving for and fear of having a baby and what it would mean for her art, Welch feels the intense pressure of aging as a female performer.

Prentis has found that dating non-monogamous men raises the bar for what good relationships should be like. That lasted a year and a half until I met someone else and transitioned into a more traditional, monogamous relationship that lasted five years. It's not just about sexI've found that non-monogamous men have an abundance mindset when it comes to sex, not a scarcity mindset.

☆ ‘We are fed up’: Ballot drop boxes are dividing neighbors in Wisconsin

Still, that’s far lower than the 528 drop boxes that the commission was aware of in 2020. PoolNick Ramos, the executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a voting rights group that has pushed for more drop boxes, said he was discouraged by the number of municipalities that had decided not to use drop boxes this election. “Drop boxes are safe, they are reliable and secure.”Changing legal statusFor years, ballot drop boxes were legal in Wisconsin with little controversy or attention, and in 2020, they became a key tactic for municipalities to encourage safe voting during the coronavirus pandemic. A conservative group filed a lawsuit to ban drop boxes in Wisconsin, and the state Supreme Court’s conservative majority sided with them in 2022, banning drop boxes except ones inside clerks’ offices. In Milwaukee, most drop boxes are in front of libraries, and in Madison, the state capital and a Democratic stronghold, officials decided to locate almost all of their drop boxes in front of fire stations.

Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris listen to her speak during a rally at Ripon College, in Wisconsin, on October 3. With the nation in such a sour mood, Harris’ incumbency as vice president is a liability. His post underscored what Harris represents for those who fear the very real prospect of Trump’s return.

"There is always a trend which makes your skills obsolete, every five years," Kapur said at the recent CNBC Evolve: AI Opportunity Summit in New York City. The AI opportunity for Honeywell is creating a new labor pool that can learn and work alongside AI and accumulate and deploy institutional knowledge much faster. "The future belongs to companies with 'first-order' data sets," he told CNBC "Closing Bell Overtime" anchor Jon Fortt at the Evolve: AI Opportunity event.

I took my kids to a family-centric, all-inclusive resort in Mexico this summer. My kids had fun, but I was the one who needed to be taken care of, and I loved it. There was only one option that made sense: An all-inclusive resort. The magic of an all-inclusive resort is that when your kids don't eat their steak or their $20 chicken nuggets, it doesn't make you want to cry inside. While I can't live at an all-inclusive resort or afford to hire a personal butler to take care of my needs 24/7, I am worth investing in.

It could be a bad idea to keep a stock solely to skip out on realizing capital gains. The right advice can buy time, reduce tax burdens, or even avoid them altogether without breaking any laws. "So, a tax-loss-harvesting type of trading will take place and then you are reducing your capital gains taxes." This grants them a tax deduction while skipping out on capital gains tax. Even some of our hedge fund managers who get compensation through carried interests of capital gains can defer those capital gains and even avoid them."

Mankato, Minnesota CNN —As a high school marching band played a rendition of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz walked down the 50-yard line at Friday’s crosstown rivalry football game between Mankato East High School and Mankato West High School. After the coin toss, Walz took a seat on the bleachers, where he took selfies and signed autographs alongside his mother, Darlene Walz. The governor cheered throughout the game as Mankato West took an early lead, and although he departed at halftime, Mankato West held on to win 28-7. Before the game, Tim Walz stopped by Mankato West to greet players as they left for the stadium and speak to old colleagues.

☆ These are the 10 dirtiest cruise ships, according to the CDC — including an ultra-luxury vessel

The CDC randomly inspects and scores cruise ships to prevent the spread of stomach viruses. The 11 dirtiest ships this year so far scored 89 or less, including one that received 62 points. For cruise ships, scoring an 85 out of 100 on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Vessel Sanitation Program review is considered a failure. The CDC has reported 10 bacterial and viral outbreaks on cruise ships since the start of 2024. The CDC checks cruise ships for details such as how frequently the pool's hair and lint strainer is disinfected.
