If you do your weekly grocery rounds at Trader Joe's or Wegmans, it might be time to check your fridge. Grimmway Farms said in a news release that some of its organic whole carrots and baby carrots that were sold at the grocery store chains may have been contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. The carrot producers, headquartered in Bakersfield, California, voluntarily recalled the carrots after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that they may be associated with an outbreak. Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), which affects mostly children under 5 years old and the elderly, can cause bloody diarrhea, severe stomach cramps and vomiting, according to the CDC. STEC is also the most common cause of hemolytic uremic syndrome, which can lead to kidney ...

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the job application process, simplifying some aspects — and creating new potential frictions in others. The introduction of the technology to the hiring and recruiting process comes as job searching reaches record highs: More than 28% of Americans were searching for a new job as of Aug. 28 . As the use of AI in hiring and applying increases, many job seekers are having to go to extra lengths to stand out. “You have to be willing to be f-----g crazy,” content creator Jeff said in a TikTok describing his AI-powered preparation process for a series of job interviews. The creator said that to land the job, he used ChatGPT at every stage of his application — to help craft his application, connect with current employees and practice...

The National Weather Service warned Sunday that dry weather conditions, relative humidity and winds “will contribute to an elevated risk of fire spread and ignition” in parts of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Areas that fall under this warning include New York City, Long Island, northeastern New Jersey and southern Connecticut, according to the weather service. A statewide burn ban has been implemented for New York until Nov. 30, while burning is strongly discouraged in New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts, per the weather service. “Use extra caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as machinery or matches, and ensure to properly extinguish or dispose cigarette butts,” the weather service warned. With lighter winds on Sunday, th...

There was plenty of criticism surrounding Friday’s much-hyped Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing event streaming on Netflix, but it had nothing to do with the boxers in the ring. Issues with video streaming quality, pixelation, stuttering and even outright crashes lit up social media well before the main event at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, as undercard fighters slugged it out. Tracking website downdetector.com showed a surge of reports of problems with Netflix’s website beginning just before 8 p.m. local time. They climbed to more than 88,700 reports around 9:30 p.m. The fight between boxing legend Tyson and YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul began shortly after 11 p.m. local time. Users on X shared gifs of highly pixelated videos, or images of wires and comments ...

Israeli airstrikes overnight and into Sunday have killed scores in Gaza, according to local health officials, as police in Israel arrested three suspects after flares were fired at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ’ s home in the city of Caesarea . The Israeli military also advanced farther north into Lebanon as Hezbollah forces mull a U.S. brokered cease-fire agreement that would bring an end to 13 months of exchanges of fire between the two sides. The Israel Defense Forces’ latest attacks on northern Gaza ’ s besieged city of Beit Lahi y a killed “about 100” people, Mahmoud Basal, a spokesperson for Gaza’s Civil Defense told NBC News on Sunday, offering a preliminary estimate as emergency crews continue rescue operat...

The Chicago Bears entered Week 11 winless against the Green Bay Packers since 2018, having lost 10 straight against their divisional rival. That streak extended to 11 on Sunday as the Bears lost again — this time in devastating fashion. Trailing 20-19, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams led Chicago into field goal range with a clutch drive, including a stellar back-shoulder throw to fellow rookie Rome Odunze on fourth down to keep hopes for a win alive. But despite having a first-and-10 on the Green Bay 30 with 35 seconds left and one timeout, the Bears ran only one play: a 2-yard run. That set up Cairo Santos for a 46-yard field goal, which was blocked and fell short as time expired. It was questionable clock management by Chicago, which had time to run at least one more play (...

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday left the door open to adjourning Congress so President-elect Donald Trump can appoint his Cabinet nominees outside of the usual Senate confirmation process if necessary. “We’re in a time of very divided government and a very partisan atmosphere in Washington. I wish it were not. I wish the Senate would simply do its job of advise and consent and allow the president to put the persons in his Cabinet of his choosing. But if this thing bogs down, it would be a great detriment to the country, to the American people,” Johnson, R-La., told “Fox News Sunday” in response to a question about whether he’d be willing to let Trump use the recess appointment process, rather than the traditional Senate confirmation process for certain nominees. A recess appoint...

BYBLOS, Lebanon — The anguish in Lebanese archaeologist Nader Siklaoui’s voice is clear as he films Israeli missiles slamming down near ancient Roman columns he has spent much of his life protecting. “Oh, God, oh, God,” he said, the camera shaking as plumes of smoke and debris fill the sky after an Oct. 26 airstrike on Tyre in southern Lebanon , one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities. Israel’s war against the Lebanese militia group Hezbollah has killed more than 3,200 people and displaced more than a million others in Lebanon according to local officials, as its military vows to end Hezbollah’s ability to launch rocket and other attacks into northern Israel, which has forced around 60,000 Israelis to flee their homes near the border. But...

KYIV, Ukraine — Russia unleashed its largest air strike on Ukraine in almost three months on Sunday, launching 120 missiles and 90 drones that killed at least seven people and caused severe damage to the power system, officials said. Ukrainians had been bracing for weeks for a renewed Russian attack on an already hobbled energy system, fearing long winter blackouts and mounting psychological pressure almost 1,000 days after Russia launched its full-scale invasion . The strikes, which caused numerous power cuts, came at a time when the impending U.S. presidency of Donald Trump , who has pledged to end the war without saying how, has raised the prospect of a push for negotiations. Air defenses could be heard engaging drones over the capital Kyiv in the ni...

Multiple current and former senior Justice Department and FBI officials have begun reaching out to lawyers in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the Trump administration , according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations. Following Trump’s decisive election victory, many Justice Department officials and career staffers were already nervous about the possibility that they would be targeted by Trump loyalists, particularly members of Congress. But the selection of former Rep. Matt Gaetz , a firebrand Trump ally who was the subject of a recent FBI investigation, to lead the department has sharply increased the sense of alarm, the sources said. “Everything we did was aboveboard,” said a former senior FBI official who has started contactin...
