  Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a long-standing practice observed in many countries to make better use of natural daylight during the warmer months. By moving clocks forward one hour in the spring and back one hour in the fall, people can enjoy longer evenings filled with sunlight and potentially reduce electricity consumption. In 2025, Daylight Saving Time in the United States and Canada will begin on Sunday, March 9 , at 2:00 a.m. , when clocks move forward one hour to 3:00 a.m. It will end on Sunday, November 2 , at 2:00 a.m. , when clocks move back one hour to 1:00 a.m. The main idea behind DST is to shift an hour of daylight from the morning, when most people are still asleep, to the evening, when they are more active. This change allows for longer daylight hours after work or school, encouraging outdoor activities, shopping, and tourism. It was first introduced during World War I and again during World War II as a way to conserve fuel and energy. Since then, it has become a ...

The Legacy of Alabama Crimson Tide Football Few programs in American college athletics have a tradition as rich and a fan base as passionate as the University of Alabama’s football team, known as the Alabama Crimson Tide .

  Arrests Retired U.S. financier Howard Rubin and his former assistant Jennifer Powers were arrested on federal sex-trafficking charges. Rubin was arrested in Fairfield, Connecticut; Powers in Southlake, Texas. The indictment was unsealed in Brooklyn federal court. Allegations From 2009–2019, they allegedly recruited dozens of women, including former Playboy models, to fly to New York for paid sex acts with Rubin.

Deal size: Nvidia plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, while OpenAI will buy millions of Nvidia chips. Market dominance & bias risk: Nvidia controls over half of the GPU market for AI data centers; experts warn the partnership could favor OpenAI with better prices or supply. Antitrust concerns: Legal and academic experts say the deal “raises significant antitrust concerns,” potentially squeezing out rivals. Government stance: The Trump administration promotes AI growth by easing regulations but also pledges antitrust enforcement to protect competition. Industry concentration: Rising costs for chips, data centers and power push frontier AI toward a small group of big players. Customer concentration: Nvidia’s top two customers already account for 23% and 16% of its revenue, showing a highly concentrated base. Company responses: Nvidia says the investment won’t change its equal-treatment policy for customers; OpenAI hasn’t commented. Enforcement focus: The DOJ and FTC are wat...

  Detroit Lions’ heartbreak in 2023 NFC Championship vs. 49ers; Dan Campbell feared it was their “only shot” at a Super Bowl. 2024 season began with disappointment: playoff loss to Washington despite 15-2 record; both coordinators left for head coaching jobs; Week 1 blowout loss to Green Bay raised doubts. Team rebounded with back-to-back convincing wins, including a 38-30 road victory over Baltimore Ravens. Monday’s win showed classic Campbell traits: aggressive, disciplined, high-execution football. Lions scored on 6 of 10 possessions (5 TDs, 1 FG), including two 95-plus-yard drives; converted all 3 fourth-down attempts. Over last two games: 90 total points vs. only 13 in Week 1; offense regaining flair once expected under former OC Ben Johnson. New DC Kelvin Sheppard’s defense limited Ravens to season-low points, sacked Lamar Jackson 7 times, held him to 35 rushing yards. Edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson forced the game’s only turnover; disciplined containment of Jackson praised by ...
