Nordstrom just opened a store concept that's a fraction of the usual size and doesn't sell clothes.

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz admonished President Donald Trump over comments he made during his visit to Puerto Rico on Tuesday.

During a meeting with local officials, the president downplayed the extent of the devastation, saying the number of people who died in the hurricane was far lower than a "real catastrophe" like Hurricane Katrina, and ribbed Puerto Rico over its budget woes.

"I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you've thrown our budget a little out of whack... Читать дальше...

Country musician Caleb Keeter, who survived the mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday night and said he changed his position on gun control as a result, challenged perhaps the most popular pro-gun argument — that armed civilians are an effective defense against active shooters.

"I cannot express how wrong I was," Keeter, a guitarist with the Jason Abbott band, said on Monday of his lifelong pro-gun position. 

Keeter said that while members of his band were carrying weapons... Читать дальше...

It's not unusual for savings to fall by the wayside among low- to middle-income U.S. households. After all, when you're barely earning enough to cover the bills, setting money aside for other goals can be a challenge, to say the least. Wealthier folks (which, for the purpose of this discussion, are defined as those having $500,000 or more in investable assets), on the other hand, have a much greater opportunity to save -- but that doesn't necessarily mean they're doing so wisely.

• Charles Darwin once theorized that the origin of life — known as abiogenesis — could have happened as precursor compounds came together in "warm little ponds."
• A new study provides evidence for that theory, modeling how meteorites may have delivered compounds that could have led to the formation of RNA (a cousin of DNA) in ponds all over the Earth.
• Proponents of the other major life-origin story, the idea that life comes from hydrothermal vents deep in the ocean, are not convinced. Читать дальше...

After years of shying from the spotlight, Snap Inc. CEO Evan Spiegel is ready to raise his profile.

“I really am trying to do a better job of communicating to the world and internally," he said onstage at Vanity Fair's New Establishment conference on Tuesday.

Spiegel said that although he didn't regret taking Snap public back in March, "one thing I did underestimate is how much more important communication becomes."

I tried the intense diet and fitness regimens that 40-year-old NFL quarterback Tom Brady touts in his new book "The TB 12 Method." A combination of workouts focused on "pliability," or adding flexibility to muscles through a series of workouts with resistance bands. Brady also stays away from alcohol, caffeine, dairy, and sugar. His diet puts an emphasis on vegetables and lean meats. This is what it was like to eat and train like Tom Brady for a week, including a taste test of the avocado ice cream Brady is known to enjoy.

Former Vice President Joe Biden predicted Tuesday that Alabama's Democratic Senate nominee Doug Jones will pull off an unlikely upset victory in December and "send ripples throughout the country."

General Motors

General Motors acquired San Francisco based Cruise Automation in 2016 to add an additional dimension to the giant automaker's plans for self-driving cars. 

While technologies such as Cadillac Super Cruise — which we recently tested — would focus on highway driving, Cruise would be folded into GM's efforts to bring autonomous vehicles to dense urban areas.

GM is preparing to roll out some of the first all-electric Chevy Bolts that have Cruise tech built in. And... Читать дальше...

Persistence is key.

Ori Eisen, founder and CEO of digital identity authentication company Trusona, would know. He once cold called an industry leader for four months before getting a response.

First, let's acknowledge it's not just millennials that need help with money management.

It's everyone.

The unfortunate truth is most people have little to no savings at all — and I don't mean "savings for that vacation to Hawaii," I mean retirement.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by money. Not necessarily for what it can buy in a materialistic sense (I rarely spend money on myself), but what it can be used to create.

The NBA announced a big change on Tuesday that will attempt to bring some life and competitiveness back to the All-Star Game.

According to USA Today's Jeff Zillgitt, the NBA will eliminate conference designations for the actual All-Star Game and have two captains, the leading vote-getters from each conference, pick their teams. 

Last season, Stephen Curry and LeBron James were the top vote-getters in each conference.

Voting will still be conference-based until the results are in... Читать дальше...
