Muhammad Ali's three-decade battle with Parkinson's Disease was a huge part of the second half of the boxer's extraordinary life, and late Friday evening it ended. Ali was 74.

Perhaps the most iconic moment of Ali's struggle with Parkinson's came at the 1996 Summer Olympics, when Ali — hands visibly shaking — lit the Olympic torch at the Opening Ceremony in Atlanta.

In a piece in GQ on Tuesday, writer Andrew Corsello shared a lovely anecdote from legendary... Читать дальше...

Older Americans in most parts of the country are struggling to afford retirement. A widely accepted rule of thumb is that seniors need at least 70% of their pre-retirement income to live comfortably after their working years, but a Bankrate analysis of median income data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey finds that only retirees in Hawaii, Alaska and South Carolina are reaching that goal.

These states were lowest for income replacement in retirement, counting down to the state ranked last. Читать дальше...

The Cincinnati Zoo's gorilla exhibit has reopened with a higher, reinforced barrier after a boy got inside and was dragged by a 400-pound gorilla, which was then shot and killed.

The exhibit reopened Tuesday, a day after a prosecutor said the 3-year-old had "scampered off" and his mother wouldn't be charged.

Director Thane Maynard says the previous barrier passed inspections, but the zoo decided that upgrading it helps ensure both visitors and animals remain safe. Читать дальше...

"Our children are watching how we spend, save, invest, and give money," writes Kimberly Palmer in her book, "Smart Mom, Rich Mom."

There was one instance in particular that made her think about the money lessons her children were learning when she wasn't even paying attention.

She writes:

A tropical fish can tell one human face from another despite lacking a part of the brain that animals considered much smarter use for this task, scientists said Tuesday.

This unsuspected ability was demonstrated in experiments with archer fish, a tropical species best known for spitting jets of water to shoot prey out of the air.

Instead of aiming at bugs, the sharpshooter fish were taught to spit at pictures of human faces displayed on a computer monitor outside their aquarium. Читать дальше...

There may be an on-demand app for everything here, but San Francisco still isn't an easy city to live in. The Bay Area is home to three of the most expensive real estate markets in the US, making it tough for millennials to make ends meet on an entry-level salary.

In February, a 25-year-old customer-service agent working at Yelp's San Francisco headquarters wrote a scathing, public letter to the company's CEO because she couldn't afford to buy groceries. Читать дальше...

Black students are almost four times more likely to be suspended from public school than white students, part of persistent disparities in U.S. schools, according to U.S. Education Department data released on Tuesday.

The department's Civil Rights Data Collection for the 2013-14 school year showed that the higher rate of suspensions come as black students are more likely than whites to be absent and to have inexperienced teachers, and are less likely to have access to science and math courses. Читать дальше...

House Speaker Paul Ryan clarified on Tuesday that while he thinks some of Donald Trump's attacks on a judge have represented "the textbook definition of a racist comment," he doesn't consider the candidate himself to be racist.

After Ryan made the "racist comment" remark at a news conference Tuesday morning, Fox News radio's "Kilmeade & Friends" asked Ryan if he believes Trump is racist.

"No, I'm not — I'm saying that the comment was. I don't know what's in his heart... Читать дальше...

They say there are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

Establishment Republicans went through all of them with regard to Donald Trump, and now have come all the way back around to denial.

They're not in denial that he will be their nominee, like they were last fall and winter. They're in denial about who he is. They believe, if he is handed immense power, he might turn into a reasonable person.

Here's a news flash for anyone who is thinking this way... Читать дальше...
