With film festivals like Telluride, Venice, and Toronto behind us, and the New York Film Festival underway in October, award season is becoming clearer. Which means it's (already) time for Oscar predictions.

The 2017 Academy Awards will be filled with familiar faces like Martin Scorsese and Meryl Streep and newcomers to the season like Mahershala Ali (Remy from "House of Cards") and Ruth Negga (Tulip from "Preacher").

At least, that's how things seem to stand at the moment. Читать дальше...

At a rally on Saturday, Donald Trump suggested — with no evidence — that Hillary Clinton may have been on drugs at the second debate, and he proposed that drug tests should be required before the next debate.

"I'm willing to do it," he said of mandatory pre-debate drug testing.

Clinton should take him up on the offer.

You may remember former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean got in some trouble for suggesting Trump might have a cocaine problem after he sniffled his way through the first debate. Читать дальше...

JPMorgan kicked off earnings season for banks on Friday and crushed it.

The firm beat analyst expectations across investment banking and trading — and had a historically strong quarter in one business in particular.

In fixed-income trading, JPMorgan reported revenue of $4.33 billion for the quarter — up 45% from the same quarter a year ago — smashing analyst expectations for $3.17 billion. The beat was driven by higher revenue in rates, credit, and securitized products... Читать дальше...

According to the USSTRATCOM statement, the missile is presumed to be a Musadan intermediate-range ballistic missile and it did not pose a threat to North America.

"We strongly condemn this and North Korea's other recent missile tests," US Navy Commander Gary Ross said in a Pentagon statement. "We intend... Читать дальше...

Hillary Clinton told Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, that she had to go on a "Clinton Apology Tour" amid the fallout over WikiLeaks' release of diplomatic cables in 2010.

The revelations came as part of the latest release of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta's emails published by WikiLeaks. The Clinton campaign has not confirmed the authenticity of the emails.

Clinton's comments came during an "off the record chat" with the bank at a 2013 event. Читать дальше...

Auston Matthews announced his presence with authority on Wednesday night when he scored four goals in his NHL debut for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

There is a lot of pressure on the 19-year-old wunderkind, who is not only tasked with being the savior of a storied hockey franchise that hasn't won the Stanley Cup since 1967, but he is also tasked with the challenge of being the next great American hockey player.

But how Matthews got here is a fascinating story... Читать дальше...

It's not easy to be a good driver. I've been driving for decades, behind the wheel in many, many different vehicles, and I'm constantly trying to figure out if my skills are up to snuff.

But it's even harder to be a good defensive driver.

You all know what defensive driving is: It's based on the notion that the roadways are inherently dangerous places, and you as the mindful driver must be vigilant about threats so that you can avoid trouble. Читать дальше...

The northwest Mexican state of Sinaloa — where cartel boss Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán was born and lived — has become a focal point of the country's growing production of synthetic drugs like methamphetamine.

Parts of Sinaloa state, along with areas of Chihuahua and Durango states, make up Mexico's "Golden Triangle," an area so-named for intense marijuana and opium cultivation that also take place there.

And the recent rise in synthetic-drug production... Читать дальше...

On Thursday night, an Oklahoma high school team won a game with a two-point conversion in the final seconds that included the quarterback completing a pass to himself, a lateral, and a defender helping a runner juke five other defenders.

The wackiness started when Sand Springs, in the white jerseys, scored a touchdown with six seconds to play, as detailed by NewsOK.com. That made the score 25-24 (ignore the score on the screen below, it had not been updated.)... Читать дальше...

ProPublica has an illuminating and infuriating story out Tuesday about the 2013 merger between American Airlines and US Airways, a display of corporate muscle that shows all the ways antitrust fights have gone wrong for consumers during the Obama administration.

The revolving door, the influence of corporate money in politics, horse-trading, a government outgunned, outmanned, and outplanned by airline lawyers and lobbyists—all were present in the fall of 2013... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - After a brutal week for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Democrat Hillary Clinton maintained a substantial projected advantage in the race to win the Electoral College and claim the U.S. presidency, according to the latest results from the Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project released on Saturday.

If the election were held this week, the project estimates that Clinton's odds of securing the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency at more than 95 percent... Читать дальше...

Winter has definitely arrived for "Game of Thrones" and its fans, and they're bummed.

Not only has it been months since the show's sixth season aired, but the show's seventh season will be arriving later than usual. The producers had to start production later this year in order to catch the — you guessed it — winter season in real life.

So what now? What could fill the void "Thrones" has left behind in our lives and TV schedules?

The best advice for retiring rich is to start saving early. For some Americans approaching retirement age, however, not only is retiring with tons of cash out of the question, but there's also an increasing worry they won't have enough saved to actually retire.

Thankfully, there are ways to catch up on lost time and money.

Boban Marjanovic emerged as a sort of cult hero for the San Antonio Spurs last season, and it paid off.

The 7-foot-3 Serbian center signed a three-year, $21 million contract with the Detroit Pistons in the offseason, reaping the rewards for the potential he showed in averaging 5 points and 3 rebounds in nine minutes per game.

Andy Lyons/GettyThough the Spurs will miss him, head coach Gregg Popovich also knew Marjanovic was going to get offers in free agency. Читать дальше...

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

JPMorgan has encountered some of the cross-selling issues that have recently plagued Wells Fargo — but it's nothing "systemic."

That's according to chief financial officer Marianne Lake, who said on a call following third-quarter earnings that JPMorgan is conducting a deep-dive investigation following the news about its competitor.

In September, Wells Fargo paid a $185 million settlement with regulators over accusations its employees wrongly opened... Читать дальше...

Another war of words looks to be developing on Wall Street.

The Chicago Stock Exchange in August outlined plans to adopt what it calls a Liquidity Taking Access Delay, a 350-microsecond delay for those who trade against resting orders on the exchange. The Chicago Stock Exchange said in the filing that the LTAD was designed to neutralize high-speed traders engaged in latency arbitrage.

The host of the 2026 FIFA World Cup won't be officially announced until 2020, but it is starting to look more and more like it will be the United States, possibly co-hosting soccer's biggest tournament with Mexico.

On Friday, FIFA's governing council voted to bar countries in Europe and Asia from hosting the 2026 World Cup. The 2018 World Cup will be held in Russia and the 2022 tournament will be held in Qatar.

When John Legere was offered an interview with the CEO of Deutsche Telekom in 2011 to discuss leading its struggling American mobile carrier, T-Mobile US, he found it "laughable and really not something I'd do," he told Business Insider in a recent interview.

He had just sold the previous company he led for 10 years, Global Crossing Limited, in a $3 billion sale to Level 3, and gotten divorced in the same month. It was a strange time in his life, he said.

Somehow a three-minute recording made 11 years ago is now the cause of the biggest scandal of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential run and the potential end of Billy Bush's TV hosting career.

A lot can be said in three minutes.

On the leaked tape, Trump, who was newly married to Melania Trump at the time, could be heard boasting of trying to sleep with a married woman. Trump made the comments while riding on a bus with Bush, who could be heard egging him on. Читать дальше...
