Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 09:04:34 GMT

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Aid agencies said they had to stop deliveries of food and other basic necessities to Gaza on Friday, warning of the possibility of starvation a day after internet and telephone services collapsed in the besieged enclave because of a lack of fuel.The communications blackout largely cuts off Gaza’s 2.3 million people from one another and the outside world — and paralyzes the coordination of aid, which humanitarian groups were already struggling to deliver because of the fuel shortage.Israeli forces, meanwhile, have signaled they could expand their offensive toward Gaza’s south even while pressing operations in the north. Troops have been searching the territory’s biggest hospital for traces of a Hamas command center the military alleges was located under the building.They have shown what they said were a tunnel entrance and weapons found inside the compound but not yet any evidence of the command center, which Hamas and staff at Gaza City’s S...

FDIC Chair takes heat over stunning allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination at agency

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 09:04:34 GMT

New York (CNN) — Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chair Martin Gruenberg testified Tuesday that he was unaware of the allegations of widespread sexual harassment and discrimination at the agency detailed in a Wall Street Journal investigation. But he didn’t indicate he was unaware of the long-standing problematic culture the investigation described.Gruenberg told the Senate Banking Committee he was “personally disturbed and deeply troubled” by the report, which alleged female workers received photos of their male superiors’ genitalia, were told they needed to use sex to get ahead and were passed over for opportunities.The Wall Street Journal investigation, based on interviews with more than 100 current and former FDIC employees, found that the agency rarely disciplined managers accused of sexual misconduct and other offenses.Gruenberg, who said he read the report, told senators, “It’s quite clear that we’ve had employees at the FDIC subjected to horrendous experiences that simp...

Are those Black Friday deals really worth it?

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 09:04:34 GMT

You can find Black Friday deals pretty much everywhere.But buyers beware. Whether it’s 40% to 70% off on the sales price, experts will tell you most of those deals are not legitimate.“Most retailers these days, just continuously offer sales off prices that they rarely ever charge,” said Kevin Brasler with Washington Consumers’ Checkbook.He said retailers are notorious for using sophisticated marketing tricks to convince consumers to buy now and spend more.“The most important thing to keep in mind is that the lowest price of the year or that it’s a Black Friday deal, don’t believe it. Don’t believe it’s a low price unless you do a little shopping around,” Brasler said.Brasler advises consumers that are still not sure about a purchase to shop around or even wait.“Another important thing to keep in mind, especially during the holiday season, is that a lot of retailers will try to rush you in making a decision. They may s...
