WorkStriking Autoworkers Just Won A Huge Concession From General Motors   After deals fell in place for Ford and Stellantis and workers at those companies headed back to work, the UAW called on workers at GM’s Spring Hill, Tennessee, SUV plant to go out on strike on Saturday, a move that likely added urgency to GM reaching an agreement. The Spring Hill factory produces the high-end Cadillac XT5 and XT6 and the GMC Acadia, all mid-size SUVs. Work

WorkWorkBlink-182 and the Rolling Stones Bring Rock Back to the Top 10  Next week should be all about Swift. “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” the fourth installment in her rerecording project, was released last Friday and is set for a blockbuster debut, though it is still too soon to know just how big. On its first day alone, the new “1989” racked up 110 million streams and sold more than 250,000 copies in the United States, according to early data from Luminate that was reported by Billboard. WorkWorkOpinion | Why Oslo Still Has Relevance  Serge Schmemann joined The Times in 1980 and worked as the bureau chief in Moscow, Bonn and Jerusalem and at the United Nations. He was editorial page editor of The International Herald Tribune in Paris from 2003 to 2013. WorkAt Ballet Theater, a Thrilling Puck and a Moment to Take Stock  The new resonances and new poignancies of “Dnipro” don’t stem only from the war in Ukraine. At the end, the self-sacrificing Natalia sends the soldier and Olga off to a future somewhere else. Ratmansky has also moved on, to a new home at City Ballet. What will Ballet Theater do without him? WorkWorkBiden announces $1.3 billion to build new power lines, upgrade aging electric grid  For example, even with the new federal funding, the Twin States project cannot begin construction until it receives all necessary approvals. The project\'s estimated timeline is to finish siting and permitting by 2026, complete construction in 2030 and be in service by 2031, according to Mary-Leah Messenger, a spokesperson at National Grid, the New England firm developing the Twin States line.

WorkVenezuela primary results suspended in latest blow directed at opposition  “This is a clear violation of the agreement the government signed with the opposition in Barbados and an outright escalation of the political crisis,” said Geoff Ramsey, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. “Maduro’s acting like he doesn’t care about the prospect that the US could snap back the sanctions.” WorkMurder charge over woman's death in luxury hotel room at Crown Towers in Perth  In Australia, the crisis support service Lifeline is on 13 11 14 and the national family violence counselling service is on 1800 737 732.

Louisville has the No. 9 rush defense in the nation and just held Duke to 51 yards on the ground. WorkHow Cooper Flagg impacts Duke with his commitment, and vice versa  Does this kind of success in high school recruiting matter as much in the transfer portal era as it did a decade ago? Times change, but in any era, getting the nation\'s No. 1 recruit will be a very good sign. Scheyer has that in Cooper Flagg. -- John Gasaway WorkMessi reigns supreme: Ranking his Ballon d'Or wins against the rest  Messi was only the third Argentina-born player to win the Ballon d\'Or after Alfredo Di Stefano and Omar Sívori did likewise back in 1959 and 1961 respectively. He was also the youngest recipient of the trophy since Owen successfully claimed the accolade as a 21-year-old in 2001. WorkWorkWorkWorkBreaking down the ACC's matchups: Analysis, 2024 schedules, protected rivals  Hale: Hey, NC State has won two of the past three against Clemson, so perhaps it\'s the Tigers who should be pleased this game is going away. And, of course, it won\'t be gone forever -- just played a bit less frequently. The same is true for Clemson and Georgia Tech. But it\'s actually the Georgia Tech-Florida State game that I\'m upset we\'re losing. Under the short-lived 3-5-5 model the ACC developed last year, these two schools would\'ve played annually -- something FSU administrators long pined for, given the sizable alumni base and fertile recruiting ground in Atlanta -- but alas, it was too beautiful for this world. Of course, Georgia Tech and FSU will play in 2024 -- a game that was already etched in stone before the new scheduling model came out. It just won\'t be an easy commute for FSU alums in Florida or Georgia. The game will be played in Dublin, Ireland. WorkFAU made it to the Final Four. Now what?  Florida Atlantic\'s players aren\'t concerned about their place in school or college basketball history. They play on a campus that\'s just 1.8 miles from the beach and they\'re more famous now than they\'ve ever been. The last six months have been fun for them. And they hope the next six months end even better. WorkWill Pac-12 celebrate its swan song as the nation's top conference?  Virginia Tech seems like the favorite to win the conference, especially with the return of Elizabeth Kitley for her fifth year, but I\'ll have my eye on North Carolina, which has some experienced pieces in Deja Kelly and Alyssa Ustby while bringing in some intriguing transfers in Lexi Donarski and Maria Gakdeng. WorkWorkFantasy football waiver wire: Will Levis, Trey McBride top the list  Jake Ferguson, Dallas Cowboys (49.6%): I have the feeling Ferguson will be the consolation prize for fantasy managers this week for managers who don\'t land Trey McBride. He continues to dominate the snaps at tight end for the Cowboys. The only player to run more routes in Sunday\'s game against the Rams for Dallas was CeeDee Lamb. Ferguson caught all four of his targets for 47 receiving yards for 14.7 fantasy points. If Sunday\'s game had been more competitive, he could have had a bigger fantasy day. Ferguson is firmly on the TE2 radar with upside against the Eagles in Week 9. WorkSocrates winner Vinicius: Continue to fight racism  \"Very happy to receive this award and to help many children in Brazil. I had little chance of getting where I have coming from where I came so it is a pleasure for me to help as many kid as I can so they can have a chance.\" WorkIf Ngannou returns to MMA next, who should he fight first?  Bader is a former collegiate wrestler, a UFC veteran and a three-time defending heavyweight champion. He also won Bellator\'s light heavyweight championship in 2017. He fought only once in 2023 -- a first-round knockout over a very much past-his-prime Fedor Emelianenko in February. Bellator has yet to promote him much as a heavyweight champion, but he\'s a proven name in the MMA community. He would be seen as a legitimate opponent to Ngannou. And the fact that he\'d be coming in as a champion of another organization would be a nice little marketing bonus for the PFL. WorkWorkWorkHorner: Ricciardo looking like his old self again  Ricciardo said he felt relieved and \"probably better than good\" with a day that involved two standing starts after the race was red-flagged before the half-distance due to Kevin Magnussen crashing his Haas. WorkTransfer Talk: Neto injury may force Arsenal to look elsewhere  - AS Monaco are interested in Amiens and France youth international defender Kassoum Ouattara, reports Foot Mercato. The 19-year-old has featured 10 times in Ligue 2 this season, and it is said that he has been identified as the priority signing at left-back for Monaco after he was assessed by their scouts. WorkWorkWaiver wire pickups: Xavier Tillman filling the stat sheet  Blocks: Ivica Zubac, LA Clippers (47.3%) Even without big minutes, Zubac sees a good deal of rim-protection moments in his time; he\'s up to seven swats in three games. Washington\'s Daniel Gafford, when healthy, is also a nice target for blocks. WorkWeek 4 preview: Stock watch, waiver wire streamers  Ilya Lyubushkin, D, Anaheim Ducks (2.5%): With zero points from goals or assists on the season, Lyubushkin is holding down 2.4 FPPG over his last five contests and 2.0 FPPG overall this season by virtue of blocking shots and throwing hits.

WorkDr. Barbara Sturm Shares Her Winter Skincare Tips  I love taking a milk bath. They are full of nourishing vitamins and minerals: vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps support cell function and skin health and zinc, which holds anti-inflammatory properties, is ideal for soothing and healing skin. Milk also contains lactic acid, which acts as a mild exfoliant, and its fat and protein content nourishes and smooths adult skin as well as babies and kids. I add some whole milk and dark honey (the darker honey has higher antioxidant properties) to hot water, close my eyes and maybe listen to a sound bath–it’s highly meditative and relaxing.
