The all-time MLB leader in stolen bases and one of the games greatest leadoff hitters died in Oakland on Friday after a bout with pneumonia, TMZ reports.

A Sacramento County father has been arrested on suspicion of beheading his 1-year-old son, sheriff’s officials said. Andrey Demskiy, 28, was arrested and booked Friday on felony charges of murder, assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury, and corporal injury on a spouse in connection with the child’s death, according to authorities and jail records. He is being held in the Sacramento County Main Jail and is ineligible for bail. Sheriff’s deputies responded to a family disturbance call at a house in the 7500 block of Versailles Way in Sacramento County early Friday morning, sheriff’s officials said on social media . A woman outside the home told them that her husband, Andrey Demskiy, had assaulted her and her mother, who was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Deputies then attempted to contact Demskiy but he refused to answer the door, authorities said. When they learned that a 1-year-old boy was inside the home and had possibly been injured, deputies forced entry and attempted to detain Demskiy, who resisted, authorities said. As Demskiy was taken into custody, deputies made the gruesome

After the government pushed for the breakup of Google, accusing it of business practices that violate antitrust laws, the Mountain View, Calif., tech giant proposed its own solutions on Friday — to restructure its business contracts instead. “Regulating a fast-changing industry like search with an invasive decree like the one proposed by Plaintiffs would harm competition, innovation, and consumers,” Google said in a court filingFriday. The request comes after a federal judge in August found that the tech company had illegally maintained a monopoly in search. Google said it disagreed with the decision and plans to appeal. Amit P. Mehta, a judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is now trying to decide on ways to restore competition. Last month, the U.S. Department of Justice and several states proposed solutions to fix what it described as Google’s illegal search monopoly that included forcing the company to sell Chrome. Google’s proposed fixes are more narrow than what the DOJ suggested. What the judge decides could reshape the future of the internet and affect Google’s ad business. In a court filing, Google proposed

MAGDEBURG, Germany (AP) — Germans on Saturday mourned the victims of an apparent attack in which authorities say a doctor drove into a busy outdoor Christmas market, killing five people, injuring 200 others and shaking the public’s sense of security at what would otherwise be a time of joy. The alleged attack Friday evening in Magdeburg, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) west of Berlin, killed a 9-year-old and four adults and injured 41 people badly enough that authorities warned the death toll could rise. Magdeburg marked the tragedy Saturday with the tolling church bells at 7:04 p.m., the exact time of the attack in the city of roughly 240,000 people. The driver, a 50-year-old doctor who immigrated from Saudi Arabia in 2006, surrendered to police at the scene. He’s being investigated for five counts of suspected murder and 205 counts of suspected attempted murder, prosecutor Horst Walter Nopens said at a news conference. Among other things, investigators are looking into whether the attack could have been motivated by the suspect’s dissatisfaction with the way Germany treats Saudi refugees, Nopens said. “There is no more peaceful

Fans of auto racing across Southern California have a chance on Saturday to celebrate one last day of racing at the famed Irwindale Speedway. The last major auto racing track in Los Angeles County was set to close its doors for good on Saturday with a massive sendoff, the Irwindale Speedway Farewell Extravaganza. Among the festivities are autograph signings, fireworks, traditional racing and of course, destruction derbies and auto soccer games. Opened in 1999, the speedway was built after a series of other closures across the Southland, namely Riverside International Raceway and Ontario Motor Speedway. The track was a mainstay in the NASCAR racing world and was a popular destination for drag racing. Tim Huddleston, the President of Irwindale Speedway & Event Center, told KTLA’s Erin Myers that the track is “one of the best racetracks in the country.” “Many people call this the perfect racetrack,” he said. “They took the best of everything and made this one and it’s perfect.” Huddleston said the track will be sent out “with a bang” on Saturday with the festivities. The track will be bulldozed for an industrial park in the

It seems as if every holiday travel period breaks a record these days, and the end of 2024 looks to keep that trend alive.  AAA considers the “year-end holiday period” to be Saturday until New Years Day. Their projection for this year eclipses the previous record of 119.3 million travelers set in 2019, albeit by just 64,000.  But exactly how will the hundreds of millions of people be getting to their destinations?   According to travel experts, the most popular way is by car; nearly 90% of holiday travelers will be driving to their destinations. 107 million people are expected to travel by car this year, and while that marks an increase of 2.5 million from 2023, it’s still a million shy of 2019’s record of 108 million.  The increase could likely be attributed to a drop in gas prices, as a gallon of gas costs more than a quarter less than it did at this time last year, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration indicates.  Security guard opens fire at suspects trying to break into mansion in Los Angeles All that said, AAA
