The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that the suspect in the brazen theft in Panorama City was apprehended Monday around noon at an undisclosed location. One of the pet’s owners confirmed that the tortoise had not been located despite the arrest and urged the public to keep an eye out for it.

SpaceX Dragon Capsule splashes down SpaceX Dragon Capsule splashes down with crew who spent record 235 days at ISS 03:01 SpaceX launched an unpiloted Dragon cargo ship Monday evening, an election eve flight to deliver three tons of crew supplies, science gear and other equipment to the International Space Station, including an unusual wooden satellite, a solar wind monitor and holiday fare for the lab’s crew. The Dragon’s Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from historic launch pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center at 9:29 p.m. EST, lighting up the night sky for miles around as it climbed away atop 1.7 million pounds of thrust.

El dominicano Teoscar Hénandez recibió una pelota de hit en el jardín izquierdo que Anthony Volpe había golpeado con todo su corazón buscando sobrevivir en la Serie Mundial. Teóscar necesitaba un tiro casi perfecto hacia su receptor Will Smith pues Giancarlo Stanton estaba en segunda e iba rumbo a la anotación. Fue eso, simplemente perfecto, un láser de 93.9 millas por hora que puso out al pelotero californiano estrella de los Yanquis. Fue una de las grandes jugadas en la Serie Mundial ocurrida en el cuarto inning del Juego 3 en Yankee Stadium. Esa joya de Teoscar confirmó el dominio de los Dodgers en ese partido. De haber anotado, los Yanquis se ponían a solo dos carreras de empatar el Juego 3. Pero fue una jugada que le dio un duro golpe a los de Nueva York y del cual nunca se levantaron. En lugar, los Dodgers se colocaron 3-0 en la Serie Mundial y solamente le tomó dos juegos más para adquirir el campeonato, el octavo en su historia. Muchos hablarán de los jonrones de Freddie Freeman en la Serie Mundial o la monstruosidad
KANSAS CITY, Missouri, EE.UU. (AP) — Jason Kelce, centro retirado de los Eagles, se disculpó durante el programa previo al partido del lunes por la noche de la NFL por quitarle el celular a un fanático rebelde y arrojarlo al piso antes del partido entre Ohio State y Penn State de fútbol americano colegial de la NCAA el fin de semana pasado. “En un momento de tensión, decidí responder al odio con odio”, dijo Kelce previo a la transmisión del partido entre los Buccaneers y los Chiefs, partido en el que participa su hermano, el tight end de Kansas City, Travis Kelce. “Me quedé corto esta semana”. Jason Kelce asistió al partido de la conferencia Big Ten entre los Buckeyes y los Nittany Lions en State College, Pennsylvania, cuando ocurrió el incidente. Un video difundido en redes sociales muestra a Kelce caminando en medio de una multitud cerca del Beaver Stadium mientras los fanáticos le pedían chocar puños y tomarse fotografías, cuando uno de los presentes comenzó a abuchearlo. En ese momento, Kelce tomó el teléfono celular del fanático y lo arrojó al piso, luego

DETROIT — JJ Redick, the mathematically inclined Lakers coach, knows the sample sizes are too small as the Lakers enter their third week of the season. Still, 27th in anything is probably at least a little concerning. Through six games, that’s where Redick’s team ranked in defensive efficiency, a stunning statistic considering his team is anchored by one of the NBA’s premier defensive players in Anthony Davis. “I think we can be a really good defensive team,” Redick said before Monday’s game against the Detroit Pistons. “I’m confident when we get a larger sample size, we won’t be 27th in the league.” After the first half of game seven, it was probably worse. Forget that the Pistons had only won twice this season, that they’d been stuck in the mud on a rebuild with no real ending in sight. Forget that they played in Brooklyn the day before while the Lakers enjoyed time off after their win in Toronto. From the moment Monday’s game began, the Lakers’ biggest issues — the ones on the defensive end — were the biggest problems on the court. The Lakers

SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — About 2.9 million Americans who live outside the United States are expected to participate in Tuesday’s election, according to Vote From Abroad, a group that works with the U.S. government to provide assistance to Americans living outside the country. Some of those voters live in the Tijuana-Northwest region of Baja California. “I think we need a more reflective America that reaches out to the world community for peace and democracy,” said Desmond Murray, a U.S. citizen in Rosarito Beach, a community located about 20 miles south of the border. Murray, who is originally from Northern Ireland, said the U.S. needs a president who will unite the populace. Border Report Live: Senate races heat up over immigration, border security “The country is clearly divided badly, I think someone needs to stabilize it a bit, people need to listen to each other and in the end, we need to be more tolerant, less talk of hate and try to work together as a country and a community.” When talking to Americans on the streets of Rosarito Beach, you certainly get a sense
Georgia election officials fight fraud claims Georgia election officials fighting voting misinformation | 60 Minutes 13:39 John Fervier, chairman of Georgia’s State Election Board, is a mild-mannered corporate executive with a dry wit and an aversion to the spotlight. Yet in recent weeks he found himself at the center of a political storm as three of his MAGA-oriented board members pushed through rules that many believed would have caused chaos and confusion in Georgia during the presidential election. The pro-Trump faction, which forms a majority of the board, passed one rule that would have required county election officials to hand-count every paper ballot on election night and another rule that required a “reasonable inquiry” before an election could be certified. Both rules were ultimately rejected by Georgia courts , though the rulings have been appealed. Fervier talked to CBS News —his first sit down with a national outlet— about how he thinks the election has gone so far and what he’s expecting in the coming days. The interview has been condensed and lightly edited for clarity. Dan Klaidman: How’s the election going so far
A former firefighter is suing Los Angeles County, alleging he was discriminated against over his disability and endured his co-worker’s homophobic harassment in the workplace. The civil lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court lists a series of events over six years that Guilherme Guimaraes claims violated his rights under the Fair Employment and Housing Act. The Los Angeles County Fire Department said it does not comment on pending litigation. In 2017, Guimaraes was forced to take 20 months of medical leave after he developed aplastic anemia after being exposed to toxic smoke and benzene on the job, according to the lawsuit. Guimaraes returned to his duties at Marina del Rey, but allegedly faced difficulties with his necessary accommodations, including having a service dog and requiring a well-ventilated workplace. In February 2021, a new hire, Eric Barnett, joined the station and allegedly began making homophobic comments around his colleagues including Guimaraes, the lawsuit says. Even though Guimaraes is straight, the lawsuit said, Barnett’s comments “struck a personal chord with [him], who has a relative who is gay, making him feel particularly uncomfortable and
The late Quincy Jones’ life spanned the entirety of modern American pop music — a tradition he absorbed, influenced and reinvented for generations. It’s remarkable to look back on the composer, arranger and producer’s life and hear him speak on his friendships and work with Sidney Poitier, Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur, among hundreds more. Over the years, The Times spoke to Jones — who died Sunday at 91 — at many junctures in his career, where he recalled being a Black composer in Hollywood in a less-enlightened mid-century climate; making perhaps the biggest pop album of the century with Michael Jackson, and his heartbreak over gangsta rap’s real world violence that touched his family. Jones’ philosophy on music was cosmopolitan and curious from the start. He traveled widely, and as a composer, he learned from European classical and folk traditions, pairing them with the innovations of Black art forms like American jazz. Traditional music “enhances your soul,” he told The Times in 2001. “Because you see that most countries, the evolution of their music is based on the
Firefighters and animal services crewmembers teamed up Friday to save a miniature horse that crashed and fell into a plywood-covered well in Riverside County. The 350-pound horse named Butter fell about 15 feet into the well, which was actually about 60 feet in depth after water was siphoned, officials said. Firefighters from CAL FIRE and Riverside County Fire, alongside officers and veterinary staff from local animal services agencies, first responded to the call in the unincorporated area of Warm Springs on Friday afternoon. Firefighters and animal services crewmembers successfully rescue a 12-year-old miniature horse from a well in Riverside County. November 2024. (Riverside County Animal Services) Firefighters and animal services crewmembers successfully rescue a 12-year-old miniature horse from a well in Riverside County. November 2024. (Riverside County Animal Services) In a rescue that lasted until 10 p.m., the horse was sedated and firefighters wrapped her in an “Anderson sling” to safely hoist her up using a front-loader. When Butter eventually reached the surface, veterinary colleagues dried her off and wrapped her with a heavy blanket. An on-scene veterinarian treated Butter’s wounds and injected pain medication.

Two motorists were injured, one critically, in a collision Monday on Interstate 15 in Lake Elsinore during which one of the vehicles plunged down an embankment, hit a tree and parked cars and overturned. The crash happened shortly before 6 a.m. on southbound I-15, just south of Main Street, according to the California Highway Patrol. The agency said a 33-year-old man, identified only as a Wildomar resident, was going over 75 mph in his 2022 Infinity Q60 when he plowed into the rear of a 2016 Toyota Corolla traveling at a slightly slower speed. The Toyota veered out of lanes and into the center divider, coming to a rest, while the Infinity “traveled down the dirt embankment (along the right shoulder) … collided into a Eucalyptus tree and went through a freeway perimeter fence … before rolling over and colliding with two parked vehicles on private property,” CHP Officer Mike Lassig said. Riverside County Fire Department paramedics found the Infinity driver with major life-threatening injuries. He was taken to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar for treatment. The Toyota driver, identified only as a 35-year-old
The L.A. City Council Tuesday will consider a four-year, $203 million contract with the union representing its firefighters and fire captains. If the contract is approved, members of the United Firefighters of Los Angeles City would see an annual 3% increase to their base wages, totaling 12% by fiscal year 2027-28. Firefighters would also see a 5% annual increase to their health benefits. The agreement would have a general fund impact of approximately $76 million this fiscal year, followed by a $39.4 million cost in FY 2025-26, $45.4 million in FY 2026-27 and $42.2 million in FY 2027-28, according to a city report. “These increases were assumed in the budget by the mayor and City Council and there is funding for the contract,” Zach Seidl, spokesman for Mayor Karen Bass, said in an email. “The mayor’s priority is to keep Angelenos safe and this investment will help LAFD remain staffed and ready to respond quickly all across the city.” Neither Matt Szabo, city administrative officer, nor L.A. City Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez’s office — who chairs the Public Safety Committee — immediately responded to a request
Although it hasn’t always been pop-u-lar with the public, Ariana Grande’s relationship with her “Wicked” co-star Ethan Slater is now Instagram-official. The “Eternal Sunshine” singer on Monday celebrated the Jon M. Chu-directed movie musical’s upcoming release with a carousel of photos from its Australian premiere. Among them is a candid shot of Slater — who plays Boq, of Munchkinland — carrying the train of Grande’s Glinda-inspired Vivienne Westwood gown as she makes her way down the stairs at Sydney’s State Theatre. (Slater shared the same photo on his account .) Slater’s appearance on the Sunday premiere’s red (yellow) carpet also swept across social media after a fan filmed the Tony Award nominee accepting a friendship bracelet on Grande’s behalf. “Is it possible for you to give this to Ari for me?” the fan asks in the video, to which Slater replies, “I’m pretty sure she’s coming if you want [to give it to her], but I can do that.” He also reassured the fan, saying, “I’m sure she’ll love it.” Footage of the interaction went viral shortly after it was re-shared by a “Wicked” fan
