NASCAR Xfinity Series standings leader Connor Zilisch, who broke his left collarbone when he fell off his car in victory lane at Watkins Glen while celebrating his sixth win this season, couldn’t resist showing his hospital wrist band that said “Fall Risk” on social media. The “Fall Risk” wristband is always placed on a person’s arm at the hospital when undergoing surgery due to the anesthesia that’s used. Zilisch announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he underwent surgery Tuesday to get a plate and screws placed in his collarbone to “help with the healing process.” “Been a tough few days for me mentally, but all the love you guys have shown has certainly helped. Thank you,” the 19-year-old JR Motorsports driver said on X. The NASCAR Xfinity Series is off this weekend. There are three races remaining in the regular season with the playoffs beginning Sept. 12 at Bristol. Trackhouse Racing owner Justin Marks, who has a driver development contract with Zilisch, said that when Zilisch returned to competition would be a “group decision.” “It’s going to have to be sponsors, Chevrolet, the team, taking care of his development, taking care of him as a human and as an athlete, and then keeping his motivations high and making sure he knows he’s got a group of people behind him that are supportive of him,” Marks said. “He’s a huge asset and he’s a huge part of the future of the business. We have to … make sure that we’re not hurting any long-term opportunities by taking advantage of a short-term opportunity. We have to sit down as a group and decide what’s best.” Shane van Gisbergen, who had a similar injury when he raced V8 Supercars, said Zilisch would feel the most pain when he pulled on his shoulder harness to tighten his safety belts. “I could really feel the plate through the skin, and it was a horrible feeling,” said Van Gisbergen, who broke his left collarbone in 2021 while racing V8 Supercars. “Mine was a bit out by the AC (acromioclavicular joint). I did a bit more damage to my shoulder and, also, I had a fake ligament put in, but I had a weekend off and then I raced the next week. So, pretty much what he’s (Zilisch) going to go through. Once the plate is in there, it’s stronger than the bone was.” View the full article

The once-humble Geländewagen has become a major moneymaker for Mercedes-Benz, and other automakers are taking notice. Both Audi and Genesis have revealed concepts in recent years that could evolve into their own G-wagen competitors. Now, BMW is reportedly laying out plans to start building a direct G-Class rival of its own, starting in 2029. That word comes from both Automotive News and Autocar, which report that BMW's would-be flagship off-roader will be based on the same CLAR platform as the X5 and built in South Carolina alongside several of the company's other off-roaders. The car, which has allegedly been code-named "G74," would effectively replace the performance-focused and supposedly ill-fated XM as the flagship of the entire BMW SUV lineup. Although the report is not necessarily the same thing as a confirmed product plan, the idea would make a lot of sense for BMW. G-Wagens have a notoriously high average transaction price, making them a major revenue driver for both Mercedes-Benz itself and its dealerships. BMW has a large selection of massively successful crossovers, but its only particularly expensive offering is the struggling XM. The BMW XM. Brian SilvestroBy offering an off-road-focused luxury liner in place of an odd-looking SUV designed for on-road driving thrills, BMW can reach a more established segment of high-price buyers. The BMW off-roader could also have a halo effect on what the brand is selling with its other crossovers, which have traditionally been marketed by the group as "sports activity vehicles" and have rarely been sold off the strengths of their off-road capabilities. If the BMW X-Series flagship is an off-roader first and foremost, the brand could opt to market those bona fides in its X3s and X5s, too.

⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious A stolen 2018 Corvette Grand Sport was recovered in Missouri, but investigators say the case may be tied to drug trafficking.A 2018 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport stolen from a Kansas City neighborhood has been recovered, though authorities say the case is far from closed. The Blade Silver sports car was located by the Missouri State Highway Patrol inside a garage at Precision Touch Auto Sales in Independence. Investigators say the recovery was made possible not through the factory OnStar system, but via an aftermarket tracking device that traced the Corvette’s movements from the owner’s home in the Waldo neighborhood to the business off Highway 40. “Now that we’ve located this vehicle, we can kind of retrace the vehicle’s steps,” said Cpl. Justin Ewing of the Highway Patrol. The theft was the second attempt on the car in as many weeks. In April, suspects were chased off by a neighbor during the first incident, but not before they fired several rounds into nearby homes and vehicles. No injuries were reported, but the gunfire left residents shaken. “They came back to the exact same place,” said Marlene Standley, whose home was struck multiple times in the earlier shooting. The second attempt proved successful. Neighbor Megan Hogan, who called 911 during the theft, said the suspects pointed firearms at the Corvette owner’s home after the car alarm went off, then sped away. She estimated it took 15 minutes for police to arrive. Authorities have not released details on how the vehicle ended up at the Independence business. The ongoing investigation has already resulted in a significant drug seizure, leading police to suspect a link to drug trafficking. “It’s our goal in public safety to make sure we protect lives and property,” Ewing said. The suspects remain at large as law enforcement continues to piece together the events leading to the Corvette’s recovery. Sign up for the Motorious Newsletter.

TOKIO (AP) — La cadena de comida chatarra McDonald's Japón canceló una campaña de Cajita Feliz que incluía codiciadas cartas de Pokémon y se disculpó después de que revendedores se apresuraron a adquirir el producto y luego tiraran la comida, dejando basura en el exterior de los restaurantes. Estos menús, que en Japón se llaman Happy Sets, estaban destinados a los niños. Además de la comida, incluían un juguete, como un pequeño Pikachu de plástico, y una carta de Pokémon. Se agotaron en un día, según los reportes de la prensa japonesas. En las inmediaciones de las tiendas se encontraron montones de comida desperdiciada. “No creemos en abandonar y tirar la comida. Esta situación va en contra de nuestra filosofía que durante años hemos cultivado como restaurante de 'ofrecer una experiencia gastronómica divertida para niños y familias'. Reconocemos sinceramente que nuestros preparativos no fueron adecuados”, dijo la empresa en un comunicado el lunes. PUBLICIDADTe puede interesar: ¿Por qué todos están obsesionados con los Labubus? El mundo perdió la cabeza McDonald's dijo que estaba trabajando en formas para evitar que la situación se repita, como limitar el número de menús que cada persona puede comprar y eliminar los pedidos online. Además, indicó que podría negar el servicio a los clientes que no cumplan las normas. "Prometemos volver a los fundamentos del Happy Set, que consisten en ayudar a llevar sonrisas a las familias para contribuir al desarrollo saludable de los corazones y cuerpos de los niños, que son nuestro futuro", agregó la empresa. Coleccionar cartas de Pokémon es una actividad popular entre adultos y niños en muchos lugares, y las más populares pueden venderse por 1.000 dólares o más. En los establecimientos de la marca se observaron multitudes inusualmente grandes coincidiendo con la venta de las Cajitas Felices con cartas de Pokémon. Las cartas se revendían luego por hasta decenas de miles de yenes (cientos de dólares) en internet. PUBLICIDADMcDonald's lleva más de 40 años vendiendo Cajitas Felices.

Some Woodhill Elementary School students rode to school on the bus with their Assistant Principal Whitney Hill, who was helping a new bus driver on their route. Others ran up and hugged Principal Jaime Wallace at the school’s entrance, meeting her for the first time since she was transferred to Woodhill from Brookside Elementary School. All students were welcomed on the first day of the 2025-26 school year by Woodhill staff and community partners like volunteers with 101 Black Men of Highland. According to Wallace, the first day of school is all about relationships and procedures. On the first day, children are forming relationships with their teachers, peers and school administration. An important part of the process in forming those relationships is, “showing the kids that they were missed, that they are loved,” she said. Second grader Zoe Franco gives a hug to Tonya Campbell as she arrives for the first day of school early Wednesday morning, Aug. 13, 2025, at Woodhill Elementary School in Gastonia.Wallace has been a principal for Gaston County Schools for 11 years, serving six at Gardner Park Elementary School and four at Brookside Elementary School, but she has worked in the district in other roles and schools for more than 20 years. She was recently transferred to Woodhill Elementary School as part of the district’s Innovation Schools program, and held her eleventh “beginning of the year staff meeting,” which she said left her feeling more determined and “on fire,” for this school year than ever before. Wallace said she had to call her husband after the meeting to talk about the positive energy and dedication she felt from Woodhill’s staff. Moving forward into the school year, Wallace said her hope for Woodhill students is that they, “feel loved and supported, and that they show growth in all areas, socially, academically … I just want to see happy kids and families.” Terry Barnwell greets students as they get off the bus for the first day of school early Wednesday morning, Aug. 13, 2025, at Woodhill Elementary School in Gastonia.This article originally appeared on The Gaston Gazette: Class is officially back in session in Gaston County View the full article

Muriel Bowser has given Donald Trump everything a blue-city mayor could possibly give a MAGA president. And he kicked her in the teeth anyway. But what’s most telling about the power dynamics between Washington’s mayor and Trump’s administration is that the Bowser allies I spoke to think Trump’s furious White House press conference on Monday actually represented a victory of sorts. Yes, Trump unilaterally took control of the Metropolitan Police Department, a power that is supposed to be Bowser's. But he didn’t impose a financial control board to take over her entire government, as happened during a financial crisis under former mayor Marion Barry. Yes, the president and his team blamed the local government for creating the supposed crime crisis. But he didn’t name-check Bowser, instead pointing a finger at the mayor’s progressive rivals on the city council, which he said was dominated by radical-left lunatics. And yes, Trump repeatedly maligned her city as a crime-infested hell hole, despite statistics to the contrary. But he didn’t say anything about repealing the Nixon-era statute that established the limited local democracy Bowser leads. At the end of the day, Bowser was still the mayor. “The feds have an outsize role in D.C., we all know that,” Bowser told me Wednesday morning, striking a decidedly philosophical tone. "Right now, having a surge of officers enhances our MPD forces on a temporary basis. We're going to stay focused on hiring more MPD or, when this temporary surge is over, figuring out more permanent partnerships to tap into when we need a surge of officers.” Even the shocking takeover, it seems, hasn’t changed Bowser’s conciliatory approach to the president. Soon after Trump’s return to the White House in January, her administration agreed to tear up a Black Lives Matter mural that displeased Republicans. At the peak of Trump’s bromance with Elon Musk, her police department launched a hate-crime investigation over anti-Tesla graffiti. Just last month, she personally muscled through a football-stadium subsidy that was on the GOP wish list. All the while, even as thousands of her constituents were thrown out of federal work, she held her tongue, declining to play to the gallery in an overwhelmingly blue city. Playing ball on the optics is still her default move. At a hastily-arranged meeting with the city council shortly after Trump’s announcement, the mayor was asked what councilmembers should say about it. According to a participant, she initially advised them to say nothing. It was unlikely advice for local elected officials. Trump’s action had already drawn apocalyptic criticism from a slew of national Democrats. It would seem strange for city councilmembers to stay mum. Members balked, and the mayor herself wound up holding a press conference where she made clear that she was unhappy about the “unsettling and unprecedented” takeover, reiterating that violent crime is at a 30-year low. But she avoided histrionics, speaking in measured tones and vowing to work with the feds. She didn’t threaten legal action, acknowledging that her city’s unique constitutional status means citizens don’t have the same rights as other Americans. In a live online constituent meeting Tuesday night, away from national media, she was more forceful in pushing back against falsehoods about Washington, declaring that “we are not 700,000 scumbags and punks” but rather “proud Americans who call D.C. home.” She said she hoped for a Democratic Congress to put a brake on an “authoritarian push.” But a defense of her city’s image is different from the sort of performative resistance that a lot of blue politicians might opt for. In the same meeting, she referred to the federal officials who just usurped her authority as “partners.” “I’m sure nobody’s worried about my feelings,” Bowser told me in an interview. The main thing she would cop to feeling angry about were the media attacks on Washington’s image. “The characterization of our city being dirty and slum-filled and our people are ‘scumbags’ and things like that — that language is maddening and false.” Like a good big-city pol, she pivoted to statistics about the city’s rapid 21st century population growth and vibrant hospitality industry. That non-emotional tone, and focus on litigating wonky details of crime stats, seems to have set the standard for many of the city’s elected officials. Even frequent critics of the centrist mayor have mostly avoided calls for resistance-style posturing. The city council’s collective statement on the takeover was a word salad that didn’t include the word “Trump.” Councilmember Robert White, a former Bowser mayoral challenger, slammed the takeover as “a dangerous political stunt that is going to have the reverse impact on public safety” because Trump’s exhortations for cops to rough up suspects could destroy hard-won police credibility. But even though he’s widely expected to challenge Bowser from the left in next year’s election, White declined to take shots at her handling of the president. “This isn’t the time for that,” White told me. “There are things you want to fire off in a group text but you can’t say that out loud,” said Christina Henderson, another councilmember. “We’re trying to hold onto the limited home rule that we have. We want to make sure we will have another mayoral election where we get to vote. There are people who think we can act like California. We can’t.” Still, the dramatic nature of Monday’s announcement has at least some people wondering whether it’s time for a different approach. After all, barely a week after Bowser got the stadium deal past a skeptical city council — thanking Trump by name when she testified in favor of the project — her citizens find themselves subject to armed federal authorities who don’t answer to voters, and paying taxes to support a police force their elected officials don’t control. It’s the sort of trampling on self-government that would draw howls of protest in Tennessee, Missouri or Arkansas (all states where the largest city ranks as more dangerous than D.C.). On the activist left, Bowser has long been caricatured as a proto-Republican, too cosy with business and too hostile to progressive causes. Even her most famous act of Trump 1.0 resistance — the Black Lives Matter mural that became a civic landmark — was derided at the time as a photogenic ploy to distract people from the mayor’s opposition to defunding police. “This is what you get for giving Trump anything,” scoffed Adam Eidinger, a longtime organizer on the left wing of city politics. But the tone also worries some folks who — unlike Eidinger — have actually been in the business of passing laws, and who understand what a lousy hand Bowser has been dealt. “She’s tried to appease Trump, believing that she is in a different position from any governor or mayor in the country,” said Elissa Silverman, a former councilmember who regularly crossed swords with Bowser in office. “The appeasement approach hasn’t worked. It just hasn’t. There needs to be a change of tone with Trump. The whole city needs to get stronger. We have been a site of many game-changing and historic protests. Now we need to call attention to what’s happening here, because it won’t stop here.” Yet on city streets Monday, the protest activity was small and didn’t involve powerful elected officials. Silverman empathized with her former colleagues’ desire to avoid “criticizing your own family when your house is under attack,” but said the council’s muted outrage seemed particularly weird. “The council needs to think about a stronger tone, which would maybe allow the mayor to still have her approach, but maybe the council could play the bad guy.” The messaging goal, she said, ought to be about connecting the takeover to the rights of all Americans, not the unique predicament of one city. Trump, after all, also hinted at using federal force in a variety of other blue cities during his event on Monday. A more visceral appeal could help keep Democratic senators onboard to maintain a filibuster if Trump tries to make the takeover permanent. “I have governed through many crises, and I will govern through this one,” Bowser said. “Having our chief engaged with them daily, hourly, recommending locations where additional presence is helpful, I think, is the best way at this point to try to manage that.” As if to underscore their thinking, several people in the government shared with me a warm social media post issued by Attorney General Pam Bondi following her “productive” Tuesday meeting with the mayor. In fact, Trump’s takeover came so suddenly that few logistics have been worked out. City officials fear that deploying untrained federal agents and encouraging cops to “knock the hell out of” suspects could lead to an explosion between law enforcement and the public. So they very much want to influence what happens next by making sure the feds work with cops who actually know the neighborhoods. “We want to make sure there's not anybody out there who is provoking or harassing our citizens,” Bowser told me. Playing nice may be the best way to do so. But playing nice, in the long run, may involve more than just avoiding calling Trump a fascist. The administration has cited specific local laws about youth prosecutions and no-cash bail as causes of crime. Changing them will require local politicians to reverse their votes. Bowser, whose vetoes of several police-reform policies were overridden by the council, didn’t sound so worried about that. “We're going to be talking to the U.S. attorney about some of her specific concerns,” she told me. “Some of them I have shared when those bills went through our legislative process, and I'll have that discussion with the council.” Though she’d like to see locals standing up for self-government and civil rights, Silverman also said Democrats shouldn’t treat the federal intrusion as an excuse to get out of difficult conversations about urban problems. Even if Trump wildly misstated the actual dangers in D.C., she told me, “I also think homelessness and youth crime is the transgender athletes of urban cities,” an issue where Trump’s foes can easily find themselves on the wrong side of public opinion. “We need to take it seriously too. It’s an Achilles’ heel for Democratic cities. Trump can create a dynamic where we wind up defending tents on the street. That’s not easy.” View the full article

The local police union in Washington, D.C., wasted no time in welcoming President Donald Trump’s unprecedented federalization of the Metropolitan Police Department and the deployment of the National Guard to the district as part of a dubious crackdown on crime. Trump — who has openly endorsed police violence in the past — literally vowed to let D.C. police officers do “whatever the hell they want” when he announced his plan to take control of the MPD. While federal data shows violent crime in D.C. reached a 30-year low before Trump took office, the rhetoric from the White House has portrayed D.C. as some kind of lawless hellscape. The D.C. Police Union, despite caveats that “federal intervention must be a temporary measure,” is disturbingly gung-ho about its members receiving this unchecked power to execute what many critics see as a racist campaign against a largely Black city that could spread to others nationally. Since Trump’s announcement, the union has aligned itself with the administration’s propaganda campaign on social media and on conservative media outlets, disputing the accuracy of the crime data and touting Trump’s takeover. Echoing Trump, Union Chairman Gregg Pemberton claimed crime is out of control during a Fox News interview, a claim the union and the administration have boosted repeatedly via social media. Pemberton claimed that police accountability measures the city council passed following the George Floyd protests in 2020 are the true culprit behind the nonexistent crime surge. His union’s social media feed has also reposted claims from MAGA figures, like newly confirmed U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, and from the union itself that crime isn’t truly down, as the data show.

(Alex Brandon / AP file)Pemberton and the union also claimed last month that a police commander manipulated data to overstate the decline in crime, according to the local NBC affiliate, although the union hasn’t provided any public evidence to support the claim. The commander, who is under investigation, has denied the allegation. But the D.C. police union, whose members are being given the opportunity to wield unchecked power over city residents, appears to be on board with Trump’s authoritarian power play.

If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your daily kid-hauler or road trip rig, now’s a good time to take a closer look. Full details on the Honda Odyssey leases for AugustThis month’s lease program includes both 2025 and 2026 Odyssey EX-L models. The lease deal in question is for the Odyssey EX-L, with a $43,715 MSRP, and the 2026 model with a $44,290 MSRP. Both include the destination charge, but the taxes, title, license, and doc fees are extra and will vary depending on your region.

Fuel economy’s not bad either—the EPA rates it at 19 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway. Inside, the Odyssey checks a lot of family-friendly boxes. It’s quiet, which goes a long way on long drives, and there’s a cabin camera and built-in PA system so the driver doesn’t have to yell over the headrests. Power outlets and an HDMI input keep the back seat crowd entertained, and Honda didn’t skimp on space—the second and third rows are among the roomiest you’ll find in a minivan. The second-row Magic Slide seats are another win. They move forward, back, and side-to-side, giving you plenty of flexibility when you need it. 2025 Honda OdysseyHondaBoth model years now come standard with a 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen that finally gets a processor upgrade. Wireless phone charging is baked in, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Rear-seat entertainment features a 12.8-inch high-res screen and an HDMI port inside the console. You’ll also find more USB-C ports scattered throughout the cabin to keep everyone’s gear charged. Final thoughtsThe Odyssey EX-L keeps doing what it does best—hauling families comfortably without a lot of fuss. Nothing major changed between 2025 and 2026, so either version will get you the same smooth ride, family-friendly features, and easy-to-use tech.

Tropical Storm Erin took a westward shift as it is expected to gain strength and become a hurricane by Aug. 14 or Aug. 15. The National Hurricane Service is predicting it could become a Category 3 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of at least 111 mph, by Aug. 17. Originally, the storm was on a path that would take it parallel to the coast, but it’s since shifted a bit to the west. It’s still too early to tell what direction it will take over the next week. However, forecasters are encouraging residents in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and northern Leeward Islands to closely monitor Erin, "There is even greater uncertainty in what impacts might occur in portions of the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, the east coast of the United States, and Bermuda next week," the National Hurricane Center said. Gov. Ron DeSantis also is monitoring the storm. "Models for Hurricane Erin currently have it turning north and staying far away from Florida,” DeSantis said. “We continue to monitor for any shifts." Does Brevard need to prepare for Erin to hit as a hurricane?A forecast on Tropical Storm Erin in the Atlantic Ocean on Aug. 13, 2025.At the very least, Space Coast residents will likely experience rough surf and an increase in rip currents from Erin. “Any stronger storm that occurs over the waters will be capable of gusty winds, lightning strikes, heavy downpours, and briefly higher seas,” according to the National Weather Service in Melbourne. Erin is the fifth named storm of the season and formed earlier than the historic average of Aug. 22. The average date for the first hurricane is Aug. 11, and the first major hurricane typically does not occur until Sept. 1, according to AccuWeather. Officials advise this is a good time to stock up on hurricane supplies to be prepared for an impending storms. Items to include in a hurricane supply kit include: Water, one gallon for each person per day Don't like or drink water? Don't buy it. Get what you like to drink but remember that without power, you should be able to drink it warm. Save money by filling pitchers with tap water. You do not need to buy bottled water. Non-perishable food Look for items such as canned fruit, vegetables, and meat; along with cereal, peanut butter, jerky, protein bars and crackers. Take stock of what you already have in your kitchen and put some in your emergency box if you can. Buying things on BOGO? Good for you; use one now and put the other in your kit. Don't forget a manual can opener. Two-week supply of medications If a state of emergency is declared, pharmacists may dispense up to a 30-day supply of maintenance medication for a chronic condition. Batteries From portable fans to flashlights, these will come in handy. Flashlight Much safer than candles. Cash, in case the power is out and ATMs are not working. A go-bag with essential supplies in case you need to leave quickly Portable cellphone chargers Battery-operated radio List of emergency phone numbers, including those for family members Copy of your insurance policy This doesn't technically go in a kit but be sure to keep your car's gas tank full. Spaghetti models for Tropical Storm Erin. Where is it headed?Special note about spaghetti models: Illustrations include an array of forecast tools and models, and not all are created equal. The hurricane center uses only the top four or five highest performing models to help make its forecasts. Hurricane Erin previously impacted Brevard 30 years agoIn 1995, a different Hurricane Erin made landfall near Vero Beach and brought significant wind and rain to the Space Coast. Evacuations were ordered for the barrier islands and the storm produced tornadoes and flooding rain across much of the county. At the time some residents took to boats to navigate flooded roadways. The Federal Emergency Management Agency-financed a project to improve stormwater strategy and prevent major flooding like that again. Spitzer is a Trending Reporter.
