Astronomers discover sugar in space that's also found in raspberries: "Just floating out in the galaxy" The space between stars just got a little sweeter. Astronomers have detected a type of sugar in space that's also found in raspberries and self-tanners. The sugar, called erythrulose, lurks in what's called the interstellar medium: thin clouds of gas and dust littered between stars. Sugar does more than sweeten tea and powder doughnuts. Different varieties fuel our cells and even make up DNA. Scientists are itching to know how sugars form because they're a key ingredient for life as we know it. Using two dish-shaped radio telescopes in Spain, researchers collected data from a large gas cloud near the center of the Milky Way. They identified the sugar in gas form by comparing telescope signals to samples in the lab. It's the...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Bodycam video shows NBA's Brandon Clarke stopped by police 6 weeks before his death Six weeks before NBA player Brandon Clarke of the Memphis Grizzlies died mysteriously in Los Angeles this spring at the age of 29, he was pulled over in Arkansas for fleeing from the police, who said he was driving well over 100 miles per hour in his new Corvette. CBS News was first to publish the dramatic, never-before-seen body camera footage. Once Clarke did eventually pull over, he was handcuffed and put in the back of the Cross County sheriff deputy's patrol vehicle. Officers searched Clarke's car and found several large bags of clear capsules containing a green powdery substance, according to a police report. The bags were labeled "100% Pure Mitragyna Speciosa," with names such as "The Juice," "Gold Rhino," "Pure Green" and...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Jenney Bitner always looked forward to her family's annual trip to see her mother in San Diego. For her three kids, it was a two-week vacation at their grandmother's house. For Bitner and her husband, it meant some relaxing time in the sun while their Washington home battled wet February weather. In 2020, the trip was even more welcome than usual: Bitner was 22 weeks pregnant, and she looked forward to the family time amid the second half of her pregnancy. But after one day, Bitner felt too sick to get out of bed. Her head ached, she was nauseous and vomiting, and she felt unsteady on her feet.

House passes bill to make daylight saving time permanent The House on Tuesday voted to make daylight saving time permanent nationwide, amid a yearslong push to end the twice-annual clock changes. The bill, titled the Sunshine Protection Act, passed in a 308 to 117 vote. In addition to keeping clocks shifted one hour ahead, which happens in the spring, the measure would allow states to use standard time if an exemption is in effect before the federal law is enacted. Hawaii and most of Arizona currently use standard time year-round. "I don't really know anybody who wants to change the clock anymore," said Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jersey on Monday as the House Rules Committee considered the measure. GOP Rep. Vern Buchanan...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

As cyclosporiasis cases rise, consumers are left guessing which foods to avoid Consumers worried about a growing outbreak of cyclosporiasis, a diarrheal illness caused by the cyclospora parasite, are turning to social media for advice on what foods to avoid as public health officials have yet to identify the source. The illness can cause long-lasting bouts of explosive diarrhea leading to severe dehydration, particularly in young children, older adults and people who are immunocompromised. Public health experts say it is difficult to dispense safety advice because key details about the outbreak remain unknown, leaving the public largely flying blind when it comes to appropriate health precautions.

Gaining full control of Strait of Hormuz has proven exceptionally hard for U.S. Here's why. President Trump has been trying to force Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz for months, turning to everything from airstrikes and naval blockades to negotiations and threats to destroy a "whole civilization." But restoring oil tanker traffic in the vital Middle East shipping corridor to prewar flows likely will require a much bigger armada of U.S. warships if not tens of thousands of American troops on Iranian soil, experts say. Despite on-and-off fighting, Iran can still target vessels in the slim Persian Gulf waterway with drones and missiles that have been hidden in a country a third the size of the continental United States.

| As ‘Moana’ Whiffs, Is Disney’s Live-Action Remake Strategy Dead? Dwayne Johnson in 'Moana' (Disney) Tough break for Disney as the live-action "Moana" crashed at the box office this weekend with a $43 million opening against a budget of around $300 million. Internationally, it didn't fare much better with just $52 million. That's barely above what "Snow White" opened to last year, which ended up grossing a mere $87 million domestic. What happened? The decision to make a live-action "Moana" seemed like a sound one. The animated 2016 film is one of the most-streamed movies on Disney+, so the Disney flywheel kicked into gear to greenlight a live-action redo that would bring Dwayne Johnson back as Maui, and the Disney+ team would...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Craig Foreman, 52, was arrested in Iran with his wife Lindsay, 53, in January 2025 on a motorcycle trip from Europe to Asia. In February, 10 days before the U.S. and Israel launched joint attacks on Iran, sparking the ongoing war, they were charged with espionage and sentenced to 10 years in prison by a judge who is under U.S., U.K. and European Union sanctions for holding "show trials."

Alzheimer's blood test may predict who's likely to develop symptoms in 5 to 10 years A blood test may predict if apparently healthy older adults are likely to develop Alzheimer's symptoms in the next five or 10 years, researchers reported Wednesday. That information could be reassuring or terrifying, but for now it's a potential tool to speed drug development by helping to identify and enroll high-risk people into studies of possible Alzheimer's treatments or preventive strategies. Already large clinical trials are testing if certain drugs could prevent or at least delay the disease — and if any of those pan out, doctors will need an easy way to tell who should try them.

Zeraati's primary concern had never been the jail time handed to the Romanian nationals who were convicted for their role in the attack on him in 2024. To him, they were simply paid mercenaries.

The numbers have spiked since payments came due again following a lengthy pause intended to provide relief during the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, around 9.5 million people - 1 in 5 federal student loan borrowers - are in default, meaning they are more than nine months behind on their payments. While credit scores can suffer when borrowers are just a few months behind, entering default brings the possibility of more serious consequences, including garnished wages or Social Security payments.

| 2026 Open prize money, purse: Payouts for Ryan Fox, field from $17.5 million pool at Royal Birkdale The Open Championship increased its purse for the 2026 edition in its return to England  Getty Images The final major championship of the 2026 golf season has concluded with the best players in the world attacking Royal Birkdale in Southport, England, at The Open Championship. As has been the case for years, The Open has the lowest prize purse of any of the four majors by a substantial margin, but that does not make raising the Claret Jug any less valuable for Ryan Fox, the 2026 Champion Golfer of the Year. This year, the R&A increased the total Open Championship purse to $17.5 million, a $500,000 upgrade from 2025. That is still $3 million shy of the next-closest major purse (PGA Championship, $20.5 million in 2026), but the organization...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The Red Sox, once obvious sellers, now look like a contender ahead of the Aug. 3 deadline  Getty Images The Boston Red Sox are scorching hot right now and are approaching franchise history. They took down the first-place Rays in Fenway Park Sunday afternoon, 6-1, behind a strong start from Sonny Gray to extend their winning streak to 13 games. They fell behind in the top of the second inning on an inside-the-park home run, but evened things up in the bottom half, scored three in the third inning and two in the fifth on a Willson Contreras home run. That's the 22nd home run of the season for Contreras, who's now only two short of his...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Trump to impose 50% tariffs on Canadian hockey sticks, milk, alcohol and other goods President Trump is imposing 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods, from hockey equipment to alcoholic beverages, escalating the trade dispute between the two countries. The new tariffs — laid out in a series of proclamations signed by Mr. Trump on Monday — are set to take effect on Aug. 19. The White House accused Canada of "unreasonable, unequal, and discriminatory actions" by imposing tariffs or import restrictions on certain American goods, some of which began after Mr. Trump's initial round of tariffs on Canada last year. In retaliation for last year's Canadian tariffs on certain U.S. auto imports, the Trump administration slapped tariffs on certain...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Getty Images As the NBA world continues to wait for LeBron James to sign, the Miami Heat are believed to be among a core group of teams in realistic contention. There are likely a couple of reasons for that. One, Miami is a championship contender with LeBron. The Heat just traded for Giannis Antetokounmpo. They have one of the best defenders in the league and another All-Star in Bam Adebayo. Shooting is in short supply, but if you have LeBron, Giannis, Bam and Erik Spoelstra, you have a chance. The second is the way in which LeBron broke up with the Heat the first time. Perhaps he's interested in making things right. Remember, it...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

How 401(k) fees can cost tens of thousands in retirement savings More than half of U.S. workers rely on 401(k) plans to save for retirement, but many may not be aware of fees that can fly under the radar and end up costing them tens of thousands — or more — in retirement income. While these fees may appear small at first glance, they can add up: As the Department of Labor explains, a 1% difference in fees could significantly reduce a person's ultimate account balance at retirement. In the Labor Department's example, a person with $25,000 in 401(k) savings who has 35 years until retirement and is charged 1.5% in fees could end up with $163,000 in retirement savings versus $227,000 if they were charged 0.5%, a 28% difference.

How much wealth do you need to thrive? Here's the breakdown, according to new research. Three in four Americans don't have enough wealth to weather financial setbacks and achieve major life milestones, according to a recent report from The Aspen Institute, a nonprofit think tank. About 34.5 million U.S. households fall short of what the group terms its "essential wealth" benchmark, which The Aspen Institute defines as having six weeks of take-home pay in savings combined with a high enough net worth to achieve both homeownership and retirement security. "The fact that most households fall short of that, we think, is a signal for a lot of the financial frustrations, the financial nihilism that we're seeing nowadays," said Steven Brown, director...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

CBS News poll analysis on cost of living and whether Americans see answers from political parties For a long time, big majorities of Americans have said their incomes are not keeping up with inflation, and they've continued to feel President Trump isn't focused enough on it. Yet many aren't seeing relief coming from either side of the aisle. Both parties are underwater on whether their policies are perceived as helping with the cost of living. Americans are comparatively more critical of Republicans: A majority say GOP policies hurt, rather than help. This may be partly related to the president's low ratings on inflation, since there is a lot of overlap between people who say this and who also think the president's policies make them...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Why it Matters That George Washington Walked away from Power George Washington defied political norms by choosing not to seek a third term, a revolutionary act that profoundly shaped American democracy and set an enduring precedent for leadership.  Known as a Founding Father and the first president of the United States, George Washington shocked society when he made one of the most consequential decisions in American history: Choosing not to seek a third term as president. While most historical figures and leaders spend their careers seeking greater influence, George Washington did the opposite. Shortly after helping win a revolution in 1796, Washington displayed leadership not by stepping up, but by stepping away. According to his farewell address, this decision wasn’t easy, but necessary. Frustrated by political attacks,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| 24 Mistakes and Misplaced Missional Energy Beyond the critical acclaim of films like "Skyfall," a surprising number of minor mistakes can be found, but this observation reveals a critical insight into leadership focus.  When the movie "Skyfall" was released in 2012, it was the 23rd installment in the James Bond series that began 60 years ago in 1962 with "Dr. No." "Skyfall" was heralded as the best Bond film in years and Daniel Craig the best Bond since Sean Connery. It is, without a doubt, a Bond-lover’s feast. From the revival of Q to Miss Moneypenny to throwback villains and Aston Martins, it deserved its critical acclaim and box-office success. However, there are 24 mistakes in the film. I know this because somebody pored over the film multiple times and counted them. For example,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

In 2025, 25.2 million adults under 35 lived at home, according to Realtor.com, which found that the share of adults living with their moms and dads was higher than it was during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these adults moving back in with their parents are employed, but their wages aren't keeping up with inflation.

The experience informed her decision years later to launch Sync Labs, a health technology startup that aims to improve care for older Americans, while she was still a student at the University of Pennsylvania. "I feel like it's unfortunately a very neglected space where a lot of the technology and tools are really behind," Herbert, 23, told CBS News.

Tract's two planned campuses near Reno would together draw more than 2 gigawatts of power, nearly a third of NV Energy's generating capacity. NV Energy, which powers 90% of the state, warns it may have to raise rates if Tract does not shoulder more of the infrastructure costs.

Americans got their biggest raises in 40 years. Inflation took most of it. The typical American's paycheck has grown faster since 2019 than in any stretch since the early 1980s. Most of it didn't stick. A CBS News analysis of Census data found the typical full-time worker earned $1,250 a week in the first half of 2026. That's up $342 from the year before the pandemic, a raise of 38%. But prices climbed nearly as fast. Consumer costs rose 30% over the same seven years, swallowing about 80% of the typical worker's raise. What survives is roughly $70 more a week to spend in today's dollars. That's about 6% over seven years or a gain of less than 1% a year. Over seven years, $70 more a week is a small gain placed in the context of a...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

| Jacob Misiorowski becomes first pitcher to reach 200 strikeouts in 2026, second-fastest in MLB history Misiorowski keeps racking up the credentials as the National League Cy Young frontrunner  Getty Images Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski took the ball Sunday and every time that happens, we're in for a strikeout show. Sure enough, he struck out six through his first three innings. His fifth strikeout was his 200th of the season. Ho hum, just easy 102 mph heat there. That was a theme early, as 29 of Misiorowski's first 30 pitches were fastballs. If a pitch is that effective, why stray? Again, that strikeout above was the 200th of the season for the power right-hander. Not only is he the first pitcher to 200 strikeouts this season,...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Powerball jackpot nears $1 billion mark after no one won $905 million grand prize There were no winning tickets sold for Monday night's $905 million Powerball jackpot so the estimated grand prize for Wednesday night's drawing will be at least $975 million, Powerball says.

5 takeaways from Zuckerberg's essay on his vision for superintelligence Mark Zuckerberg said in an essay published on Meta's website on Monday that artificial intelligence tools should be shared with "as many people and businesses as possible."

"Humanity has witnessed many transformative advances. Each time there is fear that people will be left behind," Zuckerberg wrote.

Taylor Farms did not grow the jalapeños used to make a variety of pepper-based products, including pico de gallo salsa and guacamole, that it has now recalled due to salmonella risks.
