Food prices are up, but your Thanksgiving feast will cost less this year As stubborn U.S. inflation continues to drive grocery prices higher in 2025, one surprising exception is emerging this month: the cost of preparing your Thanksgiving meal. Consumers can expect to spend about 2% to 3% less this year on Turkey Day groceries, according to a recent Wells Fargo analysis of a typical Thanksgiving feast. Shoppers are likely to pay less this year because the foods that make up a traditional Thanksgiving meal aren't the ones driving grocery inflation, the bank found. Grocery prices overall rose 2.7% in September from a year ago, according to the latest Consumer Price Index, led by increases in beef, bananas and coffee — none of which are Thanksgiving...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Adapted from Maggie O'Farrell's novel, it's a fictionalized tale about the death of Shakespeare's son, Hamnet. It imagines the tragedy inspired him to write "Hamlet."

Seen as a way to ultimately gain approval (and points) from the Official World Golf Rankings, LIV Golf's move represents a shift from its original philosophy and one McIlroy believes may not have been necessary.

Government shutdown costing the economy billions of dollars each week With bipartisan congressional talks to end the U.S. government shutdown bogging down on Friday, the hit to the national economy is growing, experts said. "Even if there is a reopening of the government in the next couple of weeks, you're going to see a visible and permanent loss of economic activity as a result of the government shutdown," Greg Daco, chief economist at consulting firm EY-Parthenon, told CBS News. Estimates of the economic impact range from $7 billion to $16 billion per week, with the White House's Council of Economic Advisers, a U.S. government agency, forecasting a weekly loss of $15 billion.

"A brave choice is to see someone being attacked in a park and go intervene; that's a brave choice," he said. "It's not a brave choice to do some weird thing in the middle of a scene, you know what I mean?" For his current role, he's making choices, too, mostly just to be himself.

Not, it should be noted, from Slot himself. Before this almighty slide, he had never had to set his team the target of "result after result after result."

Google said the messages are part of a criminal network called "Lighthouse." The texts look legitimate, often warning recipients of a "stuck package" or an "unpaid toll," but they're actually phishing or what's called smishing — a type of phishing scam that uses text messages to try to trick recipients into revealing personal and sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card numbers, which are then stolen.

ARNAUD FINISTRE/AFP/Getty France on Friday caught one of two detainees who used bed sheets to escape from prison a day earlier after sawing through the bars of their cell, a prosecutor said. France has some of the worst prison overcrowding in Europe, and staff unions have complained the state is neglecting normal jails as it moves narco criminals into new high-security prisons. The man was arrested south of Dijon, where the jailbreak occurred, said the eastern city's prosecutor, Olivier Caracotch.

Why tariffs might make real Christmas trees more attractive this holiday season At Dutchman Tree Farms in northern Michigan, it's all hands on deck as Americans prepare to deck the halls. More than 1,500 workers cut and wrap row after row of pines. This year, they'll ship out over 500,000 real Christmas trees. Scott Powell helps run the over 9,000-acre family farm. "Our desire is for folks to put a real live North American-grown Christmas tree in their home," Powell told CBS News. "Tariff-free, that's grown by families." While Powell's tree prices haven't gone up, the price of imported plastic trees is up. The majority of those are made in Asia and subject to tariffs introduced by President Trump earlier this year.

Many animals conceal illness for social reasons. For example, sick humans are known to risk infecting others so they can still go to the office — or the pub. Ant colonies, however, act as one "super-organism" which works to ensure the survival of all, similar to how infected cells in our bodies send out a "find-me and eat-me" signal, according to an Austria-led team of scientists.

| Pep Guardiola explains how Manchester City almost blew a four-goal lead: 'We didn't control the game' It looked like an easy away win for Man City until their 5-1 lead turned into a 5-4 narrow escape  Getty Images Four months into the season it is not exactly news that Manchester City have reconfigured their playing style, the collective sublimated in pursuit of the best version of Erling Haaland. There is a pretty compelling argument that it makes sense, one that was not entirely disproven in Tuesday's remarkable 5-4 win over Fulham. For nearly an hour, Haaland and his running mates obliterated Craven Cottage. They were razor sharp around the penalty area and ruthlessly exploited the qualities of their big man, who functioned as...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Researchers lower estimate of drop in global income due to climate change as journal retracts study The authors of a study that examined climate change's potential effect on the global economy said Wednesday that data errors led them to slightly overstate an expected drop in income over the next 25 years. The researchers at Germany's Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, writing in the journal Nature in 2024, had forecast a 19% drop in global income by 2050. Their revised analysis puts the figure at 17%. The authors also said in their original work that there was a 99% chance that, by midcentury, it would cost more to fix damage from climate change than it would cost to build resilience. Their new analysis, not yet peer-reviewed, lowered that figure to...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Family of Colombian fisherman killed in U.S. boat strike files complaint, alleging murder The family of a Colombian man who was killed in a U.S. military strike on a boat in the Caribbean has lodged a complaint against the United States with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). The family of 42-year-old Alejandro Carranza Medina, who was killed on Sept. 15, rejected assertions there were any drugs on the vessel targeted in Washington's anti-narcotics military campaign, and insisted he was a fisherman just doing his job on the open sea. "We know that Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of Defense, was responsible for ordering the bombing of boats like those of Alejandro Carranza Medina and the murder of all those on such boats," reads the complaint seen by AFP...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Shredded cheese sold at Walmart, Publix and other grocery stores recalled due to metal fragments More than 1 million bags of shredded cheese sold at major retailers, including Walmart, Publix and Aldi, have been recalled because the products may contain metal fragments, according to the Food and Drug Administration. In a Dec. 1 notice, the FDA said the shredded cheese was manufactured by Ohio-based Great Lakes Cheese Co., and was sold in 31 states and Puerto Rico. The recall is rated as "class II" by the FDA, which means the product could "cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences," although the potential for serious injuries is remote. The FDA's notice covers nearly 236,000 cases of low-moisture part-skim mozzarella shredded cheese, which...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Nucleus Genomics CEO explains how "genetic optimization" tools help parents select traits they desire in babies Big leaps in science have made a once-impossible, much-debated question come to life: Would you design your unborn child? Kian Sadeghi, the 25-year-old founder and CEO at Nucleus Genomics, believes every parent has a right to do just that, selecting qualities they desire – from height to weight to intelligence. He calls it "genetic optimization," and it's part of a Silicon Valley push to breed "super-babies." Sadeghi dropped out of the University of Pennsylvania and started the company in 2021, inspired by a cousin who died of a rare genetic illness.

Now at Virginia Tech, the Hokies' recruiting class is set to be their best in at least 13 years.  Brian Bishop, Imagn Images The last two weeks have been a full-speed sprint for James Franklin at Virginia Tech. The former Penn State coach still hasn't assembled an on-field staff, and with only a skeleton group of support staffers in the building, he's been grinding: recruiting nonstop, hosting visitors, and constructing a class almost entirely from zero.

It lodged itself under the dishwasher and showed no interest in calling a cab.

President Trump thinks tariff revenue could replace individual income taxes. Experts weigh in. President Trump is floating an idea that could appeal to millions of budget-strained households: using tariff revenue to reduce, or even eliminate, the federal individual income tax. But tax experts are skeptical that import taxes could completely replace income tax, and they say a reduction in income taxes would largely benefit the nation's top earners. "I believe that at some point in the not-too-distant future, you won't even have income tax to pay because the money we're taking in is so great," Mr. Trump said at a Dec. 2 Cabinet meeting, referring to the tariff revenues generated by the wide-ranging duties his...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Yan didn't look like the UFC bantamweight champion of yore; he looked better. The now two-time champion's lauded boxing was on display, but he showed tremendous improvement in his takedown defense. Most impressively, Yan did something that no elite bantamweight before him could: he kept up with "The Machine." Dvalishvili's pace never slowed, but neither did Yan's.
