Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:30 GMT

At a macro level, the news on the inflation front is encouraging.As expected, the inflation rate in February ran 6% from a year before. That's a smidge better than the 6.4% rate we saw in January.But for many households, things aren't getting much easier. The cost for housing, for example, was up by 8.1% from a year ago.Overall food prices rose by 9.5%. And when you look more closely, you see that some staples and expenditures remain astronomically expensive.Eggs, for instance, were 55% pricier last month compared with a year ago.Butter and margarine were up by 27%.Air fares rose 26.5%.Bread 16%.Car insurance 14.5%.Electricity 13%.And pet products rose in cost by 11%.Stir all that together and it's clear many working families are still feeling the pinch -- which is why an expected ninth rate hike is expected next week from the Federal Reserve.There had been speculation Monday that the current difficulties in the banking sector could prompt the Fed to take a breather and wait until M...

SF Giants cut Kyle Harrison, 3 others from MLB camp: Why they could all contribute in 2023

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:30 GMT

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The San Francisco Giants whittled their spring roster by four more players Tuesday, and it is reaching that point in camp that, while no major surprise they didn’t make the Opening Day roster, all four could be contributors this season.The most notable cut was 21-year-old left-hander Kyle Harrison, the Giants’ top pitching prospect who was given a non-roster invitation to train with the big leaguers for the first time. Harrison, regarded as the top left-handed pitching prospect in baseball, entered camp with high expectations, and while he flashed the tremendous potential of his lethal arsenal, he too often struggled to locate it, something he will have to refine at Triple-A Sacramento, where he is expected to start the season.A graduate of De La Salle (Concord), Harrison made three Cactus League appearances, tossing 3 ⅔ innings while allowing eight runs (a 19.64 ERA) and walking nearly as many batters (three) as he struck out (four). In 113 innings b...
