The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Wednesday that Hyundai Motor North America will be recalling over 42,000 vehicles because of a wiring defect that might enable the cars to roll away. According to the government, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz and Hyundai Tucson cars that are recalled have transmissions that can shift out of park without pressing the brake pedal, raising the possibility of an accident or damage. The recall applies to all 2025 Santa Cruz and Tucson vehicles sold in the United States, including over 35,500 Tucson and 6,900 Santa Cruz models; the NHTSA estimates that the defect affects about 1% of the vehicles. The Tucson is an SUV that sells for more than $28,000, while the Santa Cruz is a hybrid pickup truck and SUV with a starting retail price...

Columbus, Ohio TreVeyon Henderson ran for a touchdown, Will Howard passed for two and scrambled for another, and No. 2 Ohio State trounced No. 5 Indiana, which had never lost, 38–15 on Saturday. All Ohio State (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten, CFP No. 2) needs to do now is defeat Michigan at home on Saturday to earn a rematch with No. 1 Oregon and a trip back to the Big Ten title game for the first time since 2020. In a thrilling comeback victory on October 12, the Ducks defeated Ohio State 32–31. The Ohio State defense, which benched quarterback Kurtis Rourke five times, and special teams errors cost the Hoosiers (10-1, 7-1, No. 5 CFP) their best chance to defeat the Buckeyes for the first time since 1988. The Buckeyes took control after Indiana punter James Evans fumbled a snap late in the first hal...

Bernie Moreno was a political unknown until he declared his intention to run for the Senate in April 2023. He used to work as a car salesman in the Cleveland area, and his only political experience was a failed 2022 campaign for Ohio's other Senate seat. Since then, Moreno has achieved the hitherto unimaginable. Moreno upset Democratic incumbent Senator Sherrod Brown on November 5, in the election that carried Donald Trump back into the White House. Brown was elected to the House in 1992, then won a Senate seat in 2006 and has been the leader of the influential Banking Committee since 2021. It was no coincidence that Moreno went from being an obscure Ohio businessman to being a well-known political figure. As part of a highly focused attempt to elect sympathetic candidates and, perhaps mor...

The once-rare bombings on the center of Lebanon's capital resumed without warning as diplomats frantically tried to mediate a cease-fire.

According to Lebanon's Health Ministry, over 3,500 people have died as a result of Israeli attacks. Approximately 1.2 million people, or 25% of Lebanon's population, have been displaced by the conflict. ...

The main professional sports leagues in North America have warned its athletes about the increasing threat posed by organized, high-tech burglary rings, whose preferred tools are 90-day calendars, passports, and advanced electronics. Citing FBI intelligence, the NBA report directly connected the offenses to multinational South American Theft Groups that prey on high-net-worth persons, including prominent players. These organizations are renowned for employing sophisticated tactics including drones, signal-jamming devices, pre-surveillance, and other state-of-the-art equipment. The NFL emphasized the dangers of rich athletes being targeted by what it described as sophisticated and coordinated groups of burglars. The warnings, which did not identify the victims, were sent out in response to...
