C.J. Abrams hit .462 with a team-high seven runs batting in the leadoff spot (AP Photo/Jeff Roberson)The All Star break gave us a little of everything: a Home Run Derby (Vlad Guerrero Jr. hitting 72 round-trippers to join his dad Vlad Sr. as winners of the contest) with plenty of fireworks as well as a close game (unlike my childhood, this year saw the NL take the lead only to lose it in the late innings).The hiatus also gave us the announcement of the 2024 regular season schedules. Honestly, the current season is barely halfway complete and I can think of a half-dozen more important baseball topics to discuss rather than who the Nats will open up with (at Cincinnati March 28) or when they’ll face the Orioles (May 7-8 at Nationals Park, Aug. 13-14 at Camden Yards).This couldn’t wait until Nov. 1? While we’re discussing schedules didn’t MLB do it right on two counts by giving us a battle of last place teams (Nationals-St. Louis) as well the Wild Card leaders (...

Show me the money: How raising interest rates is benefiting short-term savers

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:25:29 GMT

Do you have money sitting in a checking or savings account, not earning you any interest, but you don’t want to move it because you plan to use it in the near future? Some financial experts say now may be the time to consider moving it.With interest rates rising, these experts say there are safer places to store that money, and actually see a return.Certificates of Deposit (or CD), money market and standard savings accounts are seeing interest rates of more than 4%, with some surpassing 5%, according to current numbers from consumer financial services company Bankrate.“Within the last couple of years, people are starting to look at some of these real safe, shorter-term options for their savings,” said Paul Ramming, an investment adviser at Foundry Capital Management.Ramming said while he hesitates to call these accounts “an investment” or a “wealth building tool,” they are instead seen more as a place to park money for near-term expenses, such as a down payment on a house, new vehic...

Therefore, its effect is terminated,” Peskov said “As soon as the Russian conditions are met, the Russian Federation will return to the implementation of the deal,” he said.The Black Sea grain initiative, which was first brokered by the United Nations and Turkey a year ago in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, was last renewed on May 17 for two months.
