It’s just emotional because it’s probably my last game ever. It’s just tough. It’s an emotional time. It obviously sucks. Penalties are the worst.”U.S. goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher fruitlessly argued she had saved Hurtig’s attempt, but it was ruled over the line.

Rapinoe missed the penalty shot that would have won the game for the United States.Th...

Lincoln has had a rocky history, almost throwing in the towel three times, first as an independent company.Henry Ford’s wife seems to have liked chauffeur-driven cars, though, which Ford didn’t make, so she had a Cadillac. That’s sort of embarrassing, and it’s rumored that Henry bought Lincoln Motor Co. to get his wife out of a Cadillac. The second time the Depression almost did them in. Fortunately, Edsel Ford, Henry’s son, came up with the Lincoln-Zephyr in 1935, and that saved the car brand again. The third time was during the years 1958-60, when Ford Motor Co. clearly misjudged the market.The Lincoln Continentals from 1958 through 1960 were the most massive cars built in America since World War II. They were huge, built on a 131-inch wheelbase, weighing more than 5,000 pounds and almost 19 feet long. They were a bomb. Only 2,044 were produced. Lincoln during this time period lost close to $60 million, or about $618 million in 2023 dollars. Robert McNamara, then Ford Motor’...

He had captured drone footage of crews off St. Augustine Beach, Saturday morning.“Immediately, the first thing I saw when I come out here was boats heading up to the north, which is very strange, ’cause usually you might see one or two fishing boats, but this was a lot,” he said, “and so, it looked like probably over 20, maybe almost 30 boats out there.”But this turned out to be a best-case scenario, as crews safely rescued 25-year-old Charles Gregory at around 10 a.m. after searching for him for about a day.Eight different agencies took part in the search, and at one point, rescuers almost lost hope.“We were able to saturate this entire area...
