SEATTLE (AP) — Factory workers at Boeing voted to accept a contract offer and end their strike after more than seven weeks, clearing the way for the aerospace giant to resume production of its bestselling airliner and generate much-needed cash. Leaders of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers district in Seattle said 59% of members who cast ballots agreed to approve the company’s fourth formal offer and the third put to a vote. The deal includes a 38% wage increase over four years, and ratification and productivity bonuses. However, Boeing refused to meet strikers’ demand to restore a company pension plan that was frozen nearly a decade ago. The contract’s ratification on the eve of Election Day cleared the way for a major U.S. manufacturer and government contractor to restart Pacific Northwest assembly lines that the walkout idled for 53 days. Bank of America analysts estimated last month that Boeing was losing about $50 million a day during the now-ended strike, which did not affect a nonunion plant in South Carolina where the company makes 787s. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said in a

The average age of homebuyers in the United States reached an all-time high of 56 years in 2024, up from 49 in 2023, according to the National Association of Realtors. Recorded from July 2023 to July 2024, the average age of first-time buyers also rose from 35 to 38, and from 58 to 61 for repeat buyers. NAR released its annual housing market report on Monday, highlighting that while homebuyers’ ages hit historic highs, the first-time homebuyer market share hit a historic low of 24%. Prior to 2008, according to NAR, the historical norm of first-time buyers was 40%. Also noted in 2024 is a record-high 26% of buyers paying for their homes in cash. “The U.S. housing market is split into two groups: first-time buyers struggling to enter the market and current homeowners buying with cash,” said Jessica Lautz, NAR deputy chief economist and vice president of research.  NAR found that 73% of recent homebuyers did not have a child under the age of 18 in their home – the highest share recorded. “First-time buyers face high home prices, high mortgage interest rates and

DETROIT (AP) — Lakers star Anthony Davis injured his left ankle late in Los Angeles’ loss to the Detroit Pistons on Monday night. “Landed on the spot that’s been killing me,” the NBA’s leading scorer said softly after Detroit’s 115-103 victory. Davis went up for a layup and after being fouled by Pistons center Jalen Duren, he tumbled down to the court and grabbed his left ankle. “I’ve been managing it since last summer,” he said. Davis stayed in the game and continued to score, finishing with 37 points a game after he had a season-high 38 points in a win at Toronto. The 31-year-old Davis is scoring a league-high 32.6 points, coming off an outstanding season in which the oft-injured center played in a career-high 76 games. Two hours before tipoff in Detroit, he was one of two Lakers warming up with shooting drills. “He’s a pro’s pro,” Lakers coach JJ Redick said. “There’s a reason why he’s had the career he’s had and why he’s going to be in the Hall of Fame. It’s not just because of raw talent, but because he’s

Nov 4: CBS News 24/7, 1pm ET Nov 4: CBS News 24/7, 1pm ET 45:26 U.S. and European law enforcement agencies are working together to investigate whether incendiary devices detonated in July at DHL logistics hubs in Germany and the U.K. were part of a larger operation directed by Russian Intelligence services (in particular, the GRU — Russian military intelligence), the highest level of the Russian government or by outside individuals acting in the interests of Russia, a source familiar with the matter said. Officials are working to determine whether the larger operation was to place similar devices on aircraft servicing the U.S. and U.S. allies. The Wall Street Journal first reported the alleged plot targeting U.S. aircraft. The 2025 Homeland Threat Assessment published at the end of October said the U.S. continues to be concerned about threats to the aviation and air cargo systems, including the “potential use of the air cargo supply chain to ship concealed dangerous and potentially deadly items.” DHL said in a statement that it was aware “of two recent incidents involving shipments in our network. We are fully cooperating with the

A real estate development consultant is set to be sentenced Tuesday for his role in the pay-to-play scheme at City Hall tied to now-imprisoned ex-City Councilman José Huizar’s approval of large building projects in downtown Los Angeles. George Chiang, of Granada Hills, pleaded guilty in June 2020 to one federal count of conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization statute, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years behind bars. Because of his cooperation, Chiang is expected to receive a far lighter penalty when sentenced by U.S. District Judge John Walter. Chiang was the second defendant to plead guilty in the wide-ranging federal criminal probe of City Hall corruption. He will also be the second defendant in the Huizar case to be sentenced this week. On Monday, longtime lobbyist and former City Hall official Morrie Goldman was sentenced to six months’ home detention as part of a probationary sentence. Goldman pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit bribery and honest services mail fraud, and cooperated in the investigation. The central figure in the case, Huizar, is serving a 13-year prison sentence for accepting

The film session examined how the Clippers had blown double-digits leads in all of their games this season, highlighting how carelessness with the basketball played a role in four losses. Maintain your leverage, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue implored his players during the session; stop turning the ball over at such a high frequency. To Lue’s dismay, the Clippers started poorly against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday, falling behind by 26 points in the first quarter, their defense getting torched amid seven turnovers. But the Clippers didn’t relent. They picked up their defensive pressure in the second quarter, holding the Spurs to 16 points. They didn’t have a turnover in the second quarter, and they scored 34 points in the period to pull within eight of the lead at the half. Another strong quarter got the Clippers to within eight at the end of the third. Behind Norman Powell’s 23 points and Amir Coffey’s 21 points off the bench, the Clippers surged in the fourth quarter to a 113-104 win over the Spurs on Monday to snap a three-game losing streak and give the team

Nearly five minutes had elapsed in the second half when Lazar Stefanovic took a pass from Skyy Clark in the corner and rose for a three-pointer that extended UCLA’s massive lead in its season opener. Having barely played to that point, it was Stefanovic’s first shot of the game. Perhaps nothing better illustrated the Bruins’ offseason makeover than the mainstay from a year ago being relegated to a bit player as part of this new ensemble cast. (Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times) Stefanovic didn’t need to play a starring role given the abundance of talent around him. Kobe Johnson, who took his spot in the starting lineup, was a two-way force with his scoring, passing and active defense. Tyler Bilodeau showed his dazzling offensive skill set with 10 points in a five-minute flash to start the second half. William Kyle III got the crowd going with three blocks. It was a pleasurable introduction for a new and vastly improved team Monday night at Pauley Pavilion, No. 22 UCLA rolling to an 85-50 victory over Rider. A year after his team struggled to score on

About a week-and-a-half after Todd Joseph Pinion was last seen in Atascadero, his body was found over the weekend in a remote area near Tassajara Creek. Atascadero police have made an arrest in the 34-year-old’s murder but are not elaborating on what led them to identify a suspect or how they located Pinion but said they did so after the initial investigation into his disappearance raised concerns. Many people who knew him were shocked to hear the news. He was one of my best people,” said Gary Eberle, who employed Pinion at Eberle Winery. “I mean, he was a real people person. According to Eberle, Pinion quit the winery in 2021 and he hadn’t heard from him since. I’m absolutely amazed,” Eberle said. “I’m stunned. When we found out yesterday, it was like, what? It just made no sense.” George Sullivan lives near the area where Pinion’s body was discovered. This is a remote part of the county,” Sullivan said. “It’s all private property back here. Generally, there’s no business back here unless you live here. Tyler Stevens of Paso Robles was booked into the

Approximately 15 city roads will undergo construction from November 4-15, as part of the citys Measure F-14 plans. The measure directs funds from a 0.5% sales tax to road maintenance and repair. From November 4-9, sub-grade work will begin on Carmelita Avenue, Flores Road, Hermosa Avenue, and Bella Vista Road, causing traffic delays. Work is scheduled to wrap up on several roads in southeast Atascadero including Ash, Birch, Catalpa, Cuesta, Las Lomas, Maple, Montecito, Pinewood, San Diego, San Gabriel, San Rafael, and Willow. Only minor delays are expected in this region. From November 11-15, sub-grade work will continue on Carmelita Avenue, Flores Road, Hermosa Avenue, and Bella Vista Road. Delays are expected to continue. Public Works Director Nick DeBar said these roads were selected based on their pavement condition index (PCI). Every five years we actually hire a consultant that is specialized in pavement management. They drive every road in town 150 miles. They evaluate all the roads. They denote the quantity of distresses and types of distresses, DeBar said. Officials then input that data into a software program called Streetsaver. We actually program monies
