Daylight saving time ends soon: What if we didn't 'fall back' this year?
SUMMARY: Daylight saving time will end on November 3, allowing Americans to gain an extra hour of sleep, but it will also mean earlier sunsets. While states have shown interest in adopting permanent daylight saving time, efforts have stalled. If clocks were not changed, morning commutes would be darker, as sunrise in Chicago, for example, would shift to 8:18 a.m. Proponents argue that permanent daylight saving time could reduce crime and traffic accidents, but a past attempt in the 1970s faced backlash, leading to a return to biannual clock changes. Most Americans will reset their clocks unless Congress intervenes.

SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is tracking a disturbance developing in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, with a 30% chance of further development as it moves westward or southwestward. Currently located a few hundred miles from the Cabo Verde Islands, the system may encounter conditions more favorable for growth by mid-week, despite initially moving into less conducive environments. Over the next ten days, the NHC will continue monitoring the situation, especially as potential impacts on Florida remain uncertain after recent hurricane events, including Helene and Milton.

SUMMARY: No. 13 LSU defeated No. 9 Ole Miss 29-26 in overtime on Saturday, marking LSU’s eighth consecutive home victory against the Rebels. The game-winning touchdown came from Garrett Nussmeier to Kyren Lacy. Ole Miss showcased strong plays, including a 50-yard touchdown run by Ulyssess Bentley, the longest of the season for the team, and a remarkable catch by Tre Harris before he was injured. Despite a solid defensive performance, Ole Miss fell to 5-2 overall and 1-2 in SEC play. The Rebels have a bye this week and will return against Oklahoma on November 19.
