LOS ANGELES — Republican former baseball star Steve Garvey is making a late-hour push for Latino support in his longshot U.S. Senate campaign against Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff for the California seat long held by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein.The low-key contest has been largely overlooked nationally in a year when control of the Senate will turn on a handful of competitive races, including in Ohio, Michigan and Nevada. Republicans are outnumbered by Democrats in California by a staggering margin – nearly 2-to-1 statewide – and a GOP candidate hasn’t won a Senate race in the state since 1988.Voting is…

File image of Joe Root.© AFP Former England captain Michael Vaughan waxed lyrical about England star batter Joe Root, as the latter notched up a 35th Test century, going past the tally of cricket icons like Sunil Gavaskar and Brian Lara. However, despite Root’s consistent exploits, Vaughan was open to admit his weakness. In fact, Vaughan said that Root only struggles against one bowler in the entire world, and went on to reason why. That bowler is none other than the No. 1-ranked ICC Test bowler in the world – India’s Jasprit Bumrah. Vaughan admitted that the “only”…

Despite decades of failed death row appeals, Oklahoma inmate Richard Glossip may get another shot in court at overturning his conviction after a majority of U.S. Supreme Court justices indicated Wednesday that he might not have gotten a fair trial.While the court’s conservative majority rarely agrees to hear capital cases, much less grant relief, Glossip’s plea has drawn unique attention from the justices because the state’s Republican Attorney General agrees that the trial was “deeply flawed.”The state’s highest court, by contrast, has ruled that all of Glossip’s appeals have been exhausted and that claims of prosecutorial misconduct would not have…

WASHINGTON — U.S. inflation last month likely reached its lowest point since February 2021, clearing the way for another Federal Reserve rate cut and adding to the stream of encouraging economic data that has emerged in the final weeks of the presidential campaign. The consumer price index is expected to have risen just 2.3% in September from 12 months earlier, down from the 2.5% year-over-year increase in August, according to economists surveyed by FactSet, a data provider. A reading that low, likely reflecting lower gas prices and only a slight rise in food costs, would barely exceed the Fed’s 2%…

A true visionary in the Indian societal ecosystem, Ratan Tata, breathed his last on Wednesday. One of the most beloved industrialists the country has ever seen, his vision for the world we live and giving nature transcended the boundaries of the business world and touched every heart who came to know of his story. One of the biggest philanthropists for whom charity was a way of living, Ratan Tata also helped the country’s sporting stars, especially cricketers, climb the ladders of success. Be it giving cricketers a platform to play or extending support through sponsorships, the Tata Group…

At the top of many automation wish lists is a particularly time-consuming task: chores. The moonshot of many roboticists is cooking up the proper hardware and software combination so that a machine can learn “generalist” policies (the rules and strategies that guide robot behavior) that work everywhere, under all conditions. Realistically, though, if you have a home robot, you probably don’t care much about it working for your neighbors. MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) researchers decided, with that in mind, to attempt to find a solution to easily train robust robot policies for very specific environments.“We aim for robots to…

In the first and only face-to-face debate for the Arizona Senate race that could decide control of Congress come November, Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego and Republican former gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake traded jabs on immigration policy, abortion rights and the economy.Lake — a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump — tried to cast Gallego as a progressive who has moved toward the center, particularly on policies along the border like building a wall. Gallego went after Lake for her most conservative stances, saying she was softening her previous support for a near-total abortion ban in the state because it…

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s contributions from small-dollar donors have plummeted since his last bid for the White House, presenting the former president with a financial challenge as he attempts to keep pace with Democrats’ fundraising machine.Fewer than a third of the Republican’s campaign contributions have come from donors who gave less than $200 — down from nearly half of all donations in his 2020 race, according to an analysis by The Associated Press and OpenSecrets, an organization that tracks political spending. The total collected from small donors has also declined, according to the analysis. Trump raised $98 million from such…
