But the timing made Hoffpauir's proposal one-of-a-kind — he wanted to pop the question during the solar eclipse on Monday, as Lewisville was in the path of totality. Related storiesShe also had to wear eclipse glasses as she set everything up once it started and could only remove them when the eclipse reached totality. Finally, the eclipse reached totality at 1:42 p.m., and Hoffpauir and Alex sprung into action. "He got down on one knee right there, right in the middle of the flash, and got that beautiful diamond effect with the totality." Harbison was completely surprised, as she didn't suspect the proposal or that Alex was anyone other than an eclipse viewer.

CNN —These days, Tiger Woods merely being among the field at The Masters is a story in itself, but the five-time champion insists he’s not returning to Augusta National to make up the numbers – he’s playing to win. “I haven’t got to that point where I don’t think I can’t.”One more Masters win would see Woods (pictured, 2000) tie Nicklaus (right) with six wins at Augusta National. Six months earlier, he had ended an 11-year-wait for his 15th major title at Augusta National. Mike Blake/ReutersEven if he doesn’t win come Sunday, Woods will make history simply by making it to the weekend. Woods has made the cut in 23 consecutive starts at Augusta National, a record he shares with Fred Couples and Gary Player.

Three months of inflation data have brought those expectations back down to earth. "Not that you've put a pin in inflation getting to the Fed's target, but it's not happening imminently." The 2-year Treasury note , which is especially sensitive to Fed rate moves, jumped to 4.93%, an increase of nearly 0.2 percentage point. The pricing in of seven rate cuts earlier this year was completely at odds with indications from Fed officials. However, when policymakers in December raised their "dot plot" indicator to three rate cuts from two projected in September, it set off a Wall Street frenzy.

Pope Francis presides the liturgy of the light during Easter Vigil Mass at St. Peter's Basilica on March 30, 2024 in Vatican City. Pope Francis on Saturday soldiered through a more than 2-hour Easter Vigil Mass in St Peter's Basilica, one of the longest services in Catholic liturgy, amid renewed concerns about the 87-year-old's frail condition. The pope is also restricted in his mobility due to a knee ailment, and regularly uses a wheelchair or a cane. Holy Week consists of several solemn ceremonies leading to Easter on Sunday, the most important festivity in the Christian calendar, celebrating the day in which the faithful believe Jesus rose from the dead. Francis is set to conclude Easter celebrations on Sunday with Mass in St. Peter's Square and his twice-annual "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world) blessing and message from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica.

Pope Francis skipped the traditional Good Friday procession at Rome's Colosseum to protect his health, the Vatican said, making a last-minute decision that added to concerns about his frail condition during a particularly busy period. But just as the event was about to begin, the Vatican announced that Francis was following the event from his home at the Vatican. Brian Hopp, a visitor from Chicago, noted that Francis has had his health challenges this year. I think a lot was taken into it and I think he probably prioritized his health for Easter, which I think is a very responsible thing to do," Hopp said. On Thursday, he left the Vatican to preside over the Holy Thursday foot-washing ritual at a Rome women's prison.
