A waterfront estate along Nantucket Harbor sold on Friday (September 29) for $42 million, a record for both the island and the state of Massachusetts.

The worst day was taking the ferry back home.

Dassai Blue in Hyde Park, New York. Dassai Blue In 2022, the Japanese sake export reached a record-high of 47.5 billion Japanese yen, an 18% increase from 2021 and a 452% jump from 2013. Despite such a dramatic surge in popularity, sake is only associated with Japanese restaurants to most Americans. The situation is particularly frustrating to Dassai’s producer Asahi Shuzo, which exported 15% of the total sake made in Japan last year—an impressively high figure as a single brewer among around 1,000 in the country. “Japanese sake accounts for a mere 0.2% of the total alcoholic beverage consumption in the U.S.,” says Kazuhiro Sakurai, the fourth-generation president of Asahi Shuzo. The company has been striving to position Japanese sake as a universally appealing drink like Champagne, but its efforts have not proven effective enough so far. That is why he and his pioneering father Hiroshi Sakurai decided to build a sake brewery Dassai Blue in the U.S., which opened on October

Palestinian health officials say Israeli soldiers have shot and killed a Palestinian man in the West Bank By The Associated Press September 30, 2023, 4:33 AM JERUSALEM -- Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian man in the West Bank, Palestinian health officials said, the latest death in a monthslong surge of violence in the occupied territory. The Israeli military said that soldiers late Friday shot two Palestinians who hurled Molotov cocktails at an army post near the West Bank city of Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian authority. The Palestinian Health Ministry said the soldiers killed Muhammad Rumaneh from the hardscrabble Amari refugee camp in Ramallah. The militant group Hamas claimed him as a member. Health officials did not identify Rumaneh's age, saying that Israeli authorities were withholding his body. Israeli officials have suggested in the past that holding onto the bodies of Palestinians slain in security incidents can deter attacks and preve

Dianne Feinstein , who became California's first female senator and went on to serve six terms, the longest of any woman in Senate history -- and whose political career was forever changed by the assassination of two colleagues -- has died, multiple sources confirm to ABC News. She was 90. Over her three decades in the Senate, Feinstein transformed from a barrier-breaking member of the Democratic Party's liberal vanguard, championing the legalization of same-sex marriage and a ban on assault-style weapons, to one of the Washington's establishment members, esteemed by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle but increasingly criticized by outside progressives who argued that she refused to step aside for the next generation. In her final years, her work on Capitol Hill had also begun to be overshadowed by concern about her mental and physical health even as she insisted she remained a robust public servant, despite her hospitalizations, reports of episodes of confusion and o

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (10) is hit by Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan ... [+] Hutchinson during the first half Thursday. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Schindler’s List was the country’s No. 1 movie. Gas averaged $1.11 per gallon. And Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You’ was the nation’s top song. The year was 1993, and just three members of the Green Bay Packers were alive. That was also the last time the Detroit Lions won a divisional title. That could change in 2023. In a critical early-season NFC North contest, Detroit came to Green Bay and downed the Packers, 34-20. The Lions dominated the first half, led 27-3 at the break, and held off a mild second half rally by the Packers. Detroit improved to 3-1 and defeated the Packers for a fourth straight time. Green Bay slipped to 2-2. Both Minnesota and Chicago are 0-3 and bringing up the divisional basement. Here’s the good, bad and ugly from the Lions’ win over Green Ba

The Street Crimes Unit has faced scrutiny over allegations of mistreatment. September 28, 2023, 3:54 PM Arrest warrants were issued by state authorities in Louisiana for four Baton Rouge police officers who were connected to the city police force's Street Crimes Unit, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

The arrest warrants however, are not related to the "brave cave" case, according to the source, but for a prior incident. The FBI announced over the weekend they are investigating the Baton Rouge Police Department (BRPD) following allegations that some officers "abused their authority."

Inside the Metropolitan Detention Center, the Brooklyn jail where he is being held, Sam Bankman-Fried, once the head of a multibillion-dollar crypto empire, sounds as if he’s being treated like most inmates there—which is to say, shabbily . Arrested on federal fraud charges in December, after the collapse and bankruptcies of his hedge fund Alameda Research, his crypto exchange FTX, and related companies, Bankman-Fried was out on $250 million bond at first. But the judge overseeing his case revoked bail in August after prosecutors complained of Bankman-Fried’s “escalating evasions of his bail conditions,” and the 31-year-old was jailed. Nowadays his lawyers have said he’s subsisting on peanut butter sandwiches—alas, Bankman-Fried, who is vegan, can’t eat the “flesh diet” served in jail, one lawyer said. His therapist, who’d also been an executive coach at FTX, wrote the court saying Bankman-Fried had only a small amount of his medications on hand when he was jailed, and needed a co
