PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Gwyneth Paltrow’s lawyer called the story of a retired optometrist who is suing her over a 2016 ski collision “utter B.S.” on Tuesday during the trial’s opening day in Utah, where the actor-turned-lifestyle influencer appeared in court looking somber.Paltrow and Terry Sanderson, the man suing her, sat across from each other in a Park City courtroom as their attorneys gave opening arguments that provided strikingly different versions of the crash. Both described their clients as victims and blamed the other for the incident at Deer Valley, one of the country’s most upscale ski resorts.The two showed little emotion as attorneys questioned their credibility and version of events. Paltrow — wearing a beige knit sweater, tweed harem pants and aviator-style reading glasses — shielded her face from photographers using a blue “GP”-initialed notebook as she entered and exited the courtroom on the first day of the trial, which is set to last eight days.Sande...

A massive construction crane collapsed in Chelsea Tuesday morning, barely missing several homes near the site where it fell.Residents living in a nearby two-family home were left shaken after the equipment toppled over just after 7 a.m., falling across a stretch of a construction site and into the neighboring property.Firefighters responded to the scene at Arlington and 6th streets to find the machinery on its side, with the boom of the crane sitting on multiple beams and its operator able to get out on their own.“The boom of the crane missed the back of the house by probably about ten feet,” said Chelsea Deputy Fire Chief Michael Masucci. “We had a technical rescue response.

Celebrating Spring!

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:47:03 GMT

Spring officially started yesterday evening, today was the first full day of spring and Mother Nature is celebrating! Temperatures today ran about 10° above average in the upper 50s with a few towns even hitting 60°. Our west wind was breezy again today but that, combined with the sun, is the reason we hit these numbers today. The wind had more of a southwest direction across our southern spots which is why we had a slight sea breeze on the Cape today and held temperatures in the lower 50s.Tomorrow will be mild again but more of us will fall victim to the sea breeze. Notice the wind tomorrow is no longer from the west, it’s from the southeast. That will cool temperatures for everyone on the coast, not just the Cape. Temperatures tomorrow will still range from 50° – 60° with the coolest numbers on the coast and warmer numbers inland.Tomorrow is also our last 6pm sunset! Starting Thursday our sunsets will be 7pm or later! The sun will not set before 7pm again until Septemb...

(CNN) — Doctors across the United States who treat people with advanced prostate cancer can’t find supplies of a medicine that may help them live longer.Pluvicto, a drug to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, also known as mCRPC, is in such short supply that its maker, Novartis, said it cannot allow further supply to new patients until it can produce more of the drug.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:47:03 GMT

By STAN CHOE and ALEX VEIGA (AP Business Writers)NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rallied Tuesday, led by the banks most beaten down by the industry’s crisis, and some of Wall Street’s fear washed out on hopes the U.S. government will offer more help if needed. The S&P 500 jumped 1.3% to lock in its first back-to-back gain since Silicon Valley Bank’s quicksilver failure began two weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 316 points, or 1%, while the Nasdaq composite jumped 1.6%. Markets around the world have pinballed sharply this month on worries the banking system may be cracking under the pressure of the fastest set of hikes to interest rates in decades. This week’s rally now runs into a huge test: On Wednesday afternoon, the Federal Reserve will announce what’s largely expected to be its latest increase to rates. Tuesday’s strength for stocks came after Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told a bankers’ group more government assista...

Man gets 4 years for attacking police at Jan. 6 Capitol riot

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:47:03 GMT

A Virginia man who assaulted police with a stolen baton and used a flashing strobe light to disorient officers trying to defend the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 was sentenced Tuesday to more than four years in prison. Geoffrey Sills of Mechanicsville, Virginia, was convicted of assault with a dangerous weapon, obstruction of Congress and robbery for his role in the violence at the Capitol’s Lower West Terrace tunnel, where police were beaten and crushed as as they tried to beat back the angry mob of President Donald Trump supporters. The 31-year-old has already served a year and a half behind bars since his June 2021 arrest. In a separate case on Tuesday, a judge declared a mistrial after jurors failed to reach an agreement on whether a man described as the Oath Keepers “operations leader” for Jan. 6 was guilty of obstruction. Michael Greene was acquitted of all other felony charges on Monday, but convicted of a misdemeanor offense. Greene is the only defendant in three trials...
