Murder trial for CashApp founder Bob Lee kicks off in San Francisco
During opening statements today in the highly anticipated murder trial of Nima Momeni, who is accused of stabbing CashApp founder Bob Lee to death last year, attorneys presented two different versions of events: One in which Momeni was a hostile aggressor, the other in which Lee was a drug-addled, sleep-deprived assailant. “Stabbed through his heart — and left to die,” Omid Talai, the lead prosecutor, said slowly and deliberately to the packed San Francisco Superior Courtroom, underscoring his version of events with images projected on two large screens of Lee’s lifeless and stitched-up body.He also showed the jury of seven men and five women surveillance footage of Lee’s movements in the hours before his death. Saam Zangeneh, the lead defense attorney, started with a similarly dramatic opening: “Six. Six hours,” he said. Evidence would show, he said, that Lee slept only six hours […]
A La Niña winter is coming. Here’s what that could mean for the US
Fall is in full swing, but it’s not too soon to look ahead to winter, especially one that could feel considerably different than last year’s dominated by El Niño.A weak La Niña is expected to develop ahead of the season and influence temperatures, precipitation, and by extension, even snow across the United States.La Niña is a natural climate pattern that influences global weather marked by cooler than average ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific. The effects on weather are most pronounced during the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere and have a much weaker influence in the summer.Last winter was the warmest on record for the Lower 48 because it was dominated by La Niña’s counterpart El Niño in a world also warming due to fossil fuel pollution.The prolonged warmth prevented many heavy snow events in the Northeast and Midwest and created […]

Q3 earnings focus is on price pressures: JPMorgan strategist
After the S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) close at record highs, JPMorgan asset management global market strategist Jordan Jackson sits down with Market Domination Overtime Hosts Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton to discuss his view that tech stocks are likely to take a backseat this earnings season.The strategist expects CEOs and CFOs will "continue to have this sort of benign outlook." He tells Yahoo Finance, "It's not great, but it's not bad either. And so I think in this environment, they can still flex a little bit of pricing power. You can still see the earnings recovery kind of come through for other sectors outside of technology, which I think is really important for the durability of this market rally, right.

Great Fall Foliage Road Trips of the Northeast
There’s no better way to see the fall’s famous fiery display of foliage, than with a road trip through the Northeast. So, when’s the best time to hit the road? Typically, leaves first begin to change color in the northern parts of Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire around mid-to-late September. In these states the vibrancy of the leaf colors usually peak around the middle of October. In the lower northeast, foliage changes later and can last up until November. When planning your road trip, it’s best to check foliage map reports of the states you will be driving through so you can plan accordingly. These reports will give you up to date information about color, which areas are peaking at which times, how quickly the leaves are changing and recommendations for best “leaf peeping”. These reports change slightly over the years as […]
