Minnesota (0-4) has lost its first four games in each of the last three seasons.A’ja Wilson scored 21 points for the Aces. Kelsey Plum and Alysha Clark added 11 points apiece.

CNBC: gana hasta $167 por hora trabajando como niñera para familias ricas

Cuando Gloria Richards no está actuando en escenarios fuera de Broadway, viaja con los hijos de multimillonarios, a menudo a quienes nunca conoció, por todo el mundo. Richards pasa la mitad de cada año cuidando a los ultra ricos para complementar sus ingresos entre espectáculos fuera de Broadway y de una sola mujer en la ciudad de Nueva York y Virginia. El concierto le paga hasta $167 por hora, más vuelos y alojamiento cubiertos, dice, lo que significa que cuidar a los hijos del multimillonario representa entre el 80% y el 90% de sus ingresos anuales. “Podría ser niñera durante, como, dos meses en la parte superior del año, y estaría bien el resto del año”, le dice Richards, de 34 años, a CNBC Make It. “Lo que me alimenta es poder trabajar tan de cerca con estos niños”.

Camping this summer? Now you can eat like a king

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:59:17 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — If your idea of a meal while camping is something quick and bland — maybe a power bar, a can of beans or some instant noodles — food writer and critic Chris Nuttall-Smith suggests something else, just as quick but also tasty.An avid backpacker, hunter, skier and wilderness paddler, Nuttall-Smith has devised ways to bring a gourmet experience to the outdoors. With minimal fuss around a fire, he prepares spice-kissed lamb kebabs, restaurant-quality risotto, fire-baked pecan sticky buns and more.He’s put it all in “Cook It Wild: Sensational Prep-Ahead Meals for Camping, Cabins, and the Great Outdoors,” from Clarkson Potter, an imprint of the Crown Publishing Group. There are 75 recipes for lunches, dinners, desserts, snacks and, necessarily, cocktails, published just as the summer outdoor season kicks off.“My goal in making this book was to develop, to create, to share recipes that didn’t need to be eaten outside. They’re great enough that you can eat them at home, but ...

Walker: Price control measures do more harm than good

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:59:17 GMT

With high grocery, household and energy prices, everyone has felt the pinch of inflation. The cost of rent, automobiles, travel, concerts and clothing have surged. To stifle some of this price swelling, the Biden administration has released executive orders and initiatives calling for more competition or price reductions on everyday goods or services. Even policymakers have proposed implementing price controls.Prices are a pillar of a functioning economy, sending signals daily throughout the market informing businesses and consumers what to make, how much to produce, and how much to purchase. In a coordinated effort of basic supply and demand, the market self-regulates, producing and selling the right amount of goods and services.Businesses did not randomly decide in 2021 to squeeze their customers; they are not to blame. As the economy began to recover from a global pandemic, demand for many products soared and supply could not keep up, with no help from supply-chain issues, oversp...

Editorial: IRS wants to branch out, start worrying

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:59:17 GMT

All the new funding that congressional Democrats and President Joe Biden showered on the IRS has the tax agency thinking big. That should worry taxpayers.The Wall Street Journal reported last week that IRS officials hope to get into the tax preparation business, in direct competition with TurboTax and firms such as H&R Block. The goal is to create a “Direct File” system on the agency’s website that would be free to those who use it.“This is a service that I think the government ought to provide,” Kitty Richards, a progressive tax expert and former Treasury official, told the Journal. “It’s problematic that we instead provide it through these private corporations that prey on people and extract profits from taxpayers that are just fulfilling that civic duty.”Yet most of these private outfits already do simple tax returns for free. It’s also worth noting that the IRS has a dismal record of customer service, particularly when taxpayers attempt to reach the agency by phone. And thos...

More office workers leaving home, returning to their cubicles

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:59:17 GMT

Employers are turning up the heat on workers who headed home during the pandemic to return to the office.The share of companies that say they are requiring in-office work has more than doubled in the last year, according to a new study by commercial property firm CBRE Group. More than 65% of office-using firms say their employers are back in the building at least some of the time.Even so, more than 50% of companies say they expect their office footprint to get smaller over the next three years. Last week, for example, AT&T CEO John Stankey said in a radio interview that the Dallas-based telecommunications giant is reducing its office footprint and requiring managers to show up in person at least three days a week. It’s consolidating into nine core offices across the U.S., with its corporate headquarters in Dallas and Atlanta as main hubs.“Real estate evolves to accommodate changes in human behavior, and we’re seeing that as the office market adapts to hybrid work,” CBRE’S Manish...

Dear Abby: Daughter gets an eyeful when she visits mom

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:59:17 GMT

Dear Abby: My mother is 90 and has been a widow for 10 years. When we moved to this city 30 years ago, my parents made friends with a group of people. In this group was a couple nobody in our family liked (Dad especially), but Mom remained friends with them. Abby, the husband is a smarmy narcissist.A couple of weeks ago, I went into my mom’s house (not unannounced) and found my mom in bed with this man. I can’t describe the revulsion I felt. My problem is, I don’t know how complicit my mom is, or whether he has been grooming her over the years and is abusing her. That was my initial thought because he tried it with me many years ago.Mom tried to cover up what was going on (“He was fixing the blinds”), but I can’t unsee what I saw. I don’t know if she lied because she’s complicit or afraid. How do I handle this? I haven’t spoken to Mom since, except to voice my disgust the next day. — Disgusted Daughter in CaliforniaDear Dau...

Turkey’s Erdogan turns away reform-minded challenger to win another term

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:59:17 GMT

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan turned away a challenger who sought to reverse his authoritarian-leaning changes, securing five more years to oversee the country at the crossroads of Europe and Asia that plays a key role in NATO.Erdogan prevailed by winning more than 52% of the vote in Sunday’s presidential runoff, which came two weeks after he fell short of scoring an outright victory in the first round. A majority of Turkish voters in the second round chose him over challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu, showing their support for a man who they see as a strong, proven leader.Voters were divided between loyalty to Erdogan, who has ruled for two decades, and hopes for the opposition candidate, who promised to return to democratic norms, adopt more conventional economic policies and improve ties with the West.With his immediate political future secure, Erdogan must now confront skyrocketing inflation that has fueled a cost-of-living crisis and rebuild in th...

Philippines warns of possible flooding, landslides as Typhoon Mawar slowly passes to north

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:59:17 GMT

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Philippine officials began evacuating hundreds of villagers, shut down schools and offices and imposed a no-sail ban Monday as Typhoon Mawar approached the country’s northern provinces.The storm, locally named Betty, was not expected to make landfall in the mountainous region. But forecasters warned that the typhoon would slow down considerably off the northernmost province of Batanes from Tuesday to Wednesday and could cause dangerous tidal surges, flash floods and landslides as it blows past.Typhoon Mawar was moving northwest in the Pacific Ocean about 525 kilometers (326 miles) east of the coastal town of Aparri in Cagayan province with maximum sustained winds of 155 kph (96 mph) and gusts of up to 190 kph (118 mph).Mawar tore through Guam last week as the strongest typhoon to hit the U.S. Pacific territory in over two decades, flipping cars, tearing off roofs and knocking down power. It weakened as it blew toward the Philippines.“These typhoons, earthq...
