After 25 years together, Phil Mickelson and his caddie, Jim "Bones" Mackay, are mutually parting ways, according to a statement Mackay gave on Tuesday.

Mackay had walked the course and carried a bag all over the world with Mickelson, including all five of Lefty's major championship victories, and 41 of his 42 career PGA Tour wins.

Here is the statement from Bones:

After an amazing, 25-year run, Phil and I have mutually decided to go our separate ways. Читать дальше...

Whole Foods could become unrecognizable under Amazon.

Feast for the Eyes (Aperture, 2017)

Before the days of blogs and entire Instagram accounts dedicated to the wonderful world of food — documenting food was left to professional photographers, who, through careful decision making and curating captured the culinary delights for cookbooks, advertisments, and art.

Just as food consumption has changed over the years, so has the way societies plate, present, and document food.

In the new book, Feast for the Eyes: The Story of Food in Photography... Читать дальше...

McDonald's is taking one of the biggest risks in the company's history by adding fresh beef to its menu.

The fresh beef patties, which will be available at restaurants nationwide next year, have been slowing down customer service — something McDonald's has been struggling to speed up for years, Reuters reports.

The new patties take about one minute longer to prepare than the frozen patties that McDonald's has served for decades. That's because they are made to order... Читать дальше...

With most food allergies, it only takes 15 or 20 minutes after being exposed before severe reactions occur. A bite of shrimp or lobster and before long, a person's throat starts to close and parts of their body begin to swell. It's scary and potentially life-threatening, but they can usually seek immediate treatment and pinpoint the food that caused the problem.

The allergy to mammalian meat like beef, pork, and lamb that's spread by a bite from a lone star tick is different. Читать дальше...

After her husband, Dave Goldberg, died unexpectedly in 2015, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg sought the insight of grief counselors, who told her she should return to the office 10 days afterward to see if her work would serve as a welcome distraction.

She dropped off her kids at school and lasted about four hours at Facebook.

"As far as I could tell, it was a total disaster," Sandberg told the media mogul Oprah Winfrey for an upcoming episode of Winfrey's... Читать дальше...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Desert dwellers in the western U.S. see temperatures topping 120 degrees (49 Celsius) as a reason to hunker down indoors and turn up the air conditioning.

But some tourists welcome it as a bucket-list opportunity to experience Death Valley — famously the hottest place in America.

Many will get their chance in the days ahead as a vicious heatwave bakes parts of Arizona, California and Nevada.

The mercury at Death Valley National Park reached 124 degrees (51 Celsius) on Sunday... Читать дальше...

It’s been 21 years since I witnessed one of the most unprofessional acts from an NBA prospect. About a month before the 1996 NBA Draft, I was the general manager and team president for the Dallas Mavericks and invited five lottery picks to come down for individual workouts.

Sen. John McCain appears somewhat fed up by the process being used to draft the Senate Republican healthcare bill.

When asked by Bloomberg's Laura Litvan on Tuesday if he had seen the bill, McCain was blunt.

"No, nor have I met any American that has," McCain said. "I'm sure the Russians have been able to hack in and gotten most of it."

While McCain may be have expressed his sentiments most colorfully, many Republican senators have expressed... Читать дальше...

As nationwide chains gobbled up retail space across the country, they did so at the expense of smaller mom-and-pop shops. 

But now, as the brick-and-mortar chains die a slow and painful death, small businesses could make a comeback by filling the void, according to two Goldman Sachs executives.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer refused to comment on Tuesday on President Donald Trump's thoughts on Russian meddling in the 2016 election, a bizarre move considering the issue's prominence in the news cycle for months.

During his first on-camera press briefing in over a week, the press secretary did not answer a question about whether Trump believed the Russians interfered in the US election, saying he hadn't spoken with Trump about the topic.

If age really is just a number, what number marks old age?

Well, the answer to that depends on how old you are now.

Millennials hold the least generous views on aging, saying that you are old beginning at just 59, according to a new study by U.S. Trust. Older groups, however, put the starting point further out.

Gen X on average bumps the beginning of old age to 65, while boomers and the silent generation both agreed that age 73 is the start.
