Washington-Fremont 8, American 6Washington-Fremont remained one of the hottest teams in Bay Area baseball as it extended its winning streak to five games with a victory over American. Washington (10-5) had ended last week with a 6-2 victory over WCAL powerhouse St. Francis. That winning run seemed to be in jeopardy after the American (5-10) scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning following one run by Washington. Freshman Micah Boo singled in one run with the bases loaded, junior Calen Morgan walked in another, Carson Rice singled in one and Kent Abe drove in two on a line drive into center. That 5-1 lead lasted until the top of the third, when Washington scored seven runs to take a lead it would never relinquish. Sophomore Ezekiel Venn Porter went 1 for 2, scored two runs, and had two RBIs. Senior Noah Morton had two hits and one RBI, and senior Narayan Venkataramana batted 2 for 4 and drove in one run.Washington pitcher Maxwell Paek starred in relief as he threw 3.2 scor...

Bank of America profits grow 15%, avoids industry crisis

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:03 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Bank of America said its profits grew 15% last quarter, the latest of the big banks to do exceptionally well this earnings season as investors and consumers flock to Wall Street for safety after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The nation’s second-largest bank by assets posted a profit of $8.2 billion, up from $7.1 billion in the same period a year earlier. On a per-share basis, BofA earnings rose to 94 cents from 80 cents. The results beat analysts’ expectations. Like its major competitors, BofA has benefitted from wealthy clients, businesses and other customers running to the bank as a place of safety after last month’s bank failures. The nation’s biggest banks are seen as having an implicit government backstop, due to their “too big to fail” status among the country’s financial institutions. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank added customers in its business and consumer banking businesses. While deposits ac...

NATO chief warns global arms control system at risk of ‘collapse’

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:03 GMT

The global system that once limited the rapid proliferation of arms is at risk of extinction, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned on Tuesday, as he rebuked Russia and China.“We stand at a crossroads,” the NATO chief said at a conference on arms control organized by the alliance and the U.S. State Department. “In one direction lies the collapse of the international arms control order and the unrestricted proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, with profoundly dangerous consequences,” Stoltenberg said. But, he added: “There is an alternative way ahead — one where we do the work, however difficult.”His remarks come just weeks after Russia suspended its participation in the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty it had with the United States — putting a coda on a period of eroding arms control pacts worldwide.  The development has occurred alongside a significant arms buildup from both Russia and China, as well as Moscow’s wartime nuclear saber-r...
