A recent study by the WordFinder dictionary site found the most misspelled names of automotive brands. It asked both men and women, and with audio to help them sound out the letters. Maserati came in at number one with 60 percent of respondents misspelling the name of the Italian automaker. Common misspellings included Maseratti, Mazerati, Mazeratti and Masseratti. McLaren and Alfa Romeo were next, and it seems like many of the romance language brands are the ones getting misspelled with Bugatti and Lamborghini also making the list....

John Billiot Jr., the founder of America’s Cajun Navy, was arrested in Lafayette Parish on Tuesday for allegedly withholding funds raised for buying Christmas presents for foster children, according to KTBS. The Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office began an investigation in September into a GoFundMe account set up by Billiot to raise money for foster children and foster parents. A victim said Billiot kept a good portion of the money that was also intended to buy Christmas presents for the foster children....

The airline said it burned through $27 million in cash each day in the quarter, down from $30 million a day in the fourth quarter of 2020. American reduced 2021 costs by more than $1.3 billion, including delaying delivery of new jets and a new round of voluntary buyouts that will result in 1,600 employees leaving the company. “We are incredibly proud of the American Airlines team for their continued care of our customers and each other,” Chairman and CEO Doug Parker said in a statement....

For at that very moment-not even midway through the 12-minute Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest that takes place every July 4-Takeru Kobayashi, a 131-pound kid from Nagano, Japan, had downed his 26th hot dog and bun, surpassing the record set last year by his countryman Kazutoyo “The Rabbit” Arai. The man the Japanese call “The Prince” used a combination of speed and endurance that has eluded American competitors for years....

But my wife is pregnant with our first child (oh, thank you) and has informed me that the only way to transport a baby from Point A to Point B is to purchase a one-ton machine, preferably one with four doors and air conditioning. But with gas prices already topping $2 a gallon, I figured the least we could do was check out one of those new gas-electric cars that get 70 miles per gallon on the highway....

Wait a minute, you might be thinking: He can’t run for president?! Why the hell not?! Jesse Ventura could run for president, and Arnold is a much bigger star than the former Minnesota governor. Sorry, “Predator” fans, but don’t blame Hollywood this time. Schwarzenegger’s bid for higher office is barred by the U.S. Constitution. Article II, Section I of that moldy document clearly states that “No person except a natural born citizen…shall be eligible to the office of President....

That American combatant, referred to by the alias Jeffrey Barnes, spoke to Newsweek exclusively on the condition of anonymity for safety reasons. Barnes, 32, is an Iraq War veteran from the Midwest who served one tour over a decade ago. Suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, he is the son and grandson of U.S. military personnel. Following an honorable discharge, he floated around geographically, living in Poland, France, Romania, India, Italy and even Virginia Beach—where he met his future wife, who is in an undisclosed branch of the U....

Baffert flew in from California on Saturday evening to watch American Pharoah put in a routine 1 3/8-mile gallop at Churchill Downs on Sunday morning, a prelude to his final work before the Belmont on Monday. American Pharoah looked as professional as always on Sunday, just cruising around the one-mile oval at an even pace, neck bowed, switching leads on cue, and a picture of health despite being in the home stretch of the taxing Triple Crown run....

These statistics are a horrifying reflection of poor policy decisions made throughout the pandemic, and their long-lasting ramifications. But while Americans may be familiar with the statistics, they don’t often get to hear from teenagers themselves about why they are so engulfed with despair. I spoke to my friend Ella, a senior and fellow student at the selective New York City public high school I attend. Like most of our peers at school, Ella was always a disciplined student, well aware of the value of the education she was getting....

The supply of available players for the next step in Copa America Centenario, a semifinal match Tuesday in Houston, dwindled significantly during the course of the USMNT’s 2-1 victory over Ecuador at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field. MORE: Images of USA in Copa America Centenario This is the Americans’ first appearance in the Copa America semis since 1995. Their opponent next time out might be Argentina, but if the Albiceleste win their quarterfinal over Venezuela they will face only a fraction of the U....

Injuries limited him severely last season, and he has spent most of this campaign out of the first team. There had been some signs of progress lately, as he had made benches in January, and grabbed a couple of cameo appearances. While not much, it was a step in the right direction from not being in the 18. And a bigger opportunity finally knocked for Johannsson on Saturday as he was called upon as a substitute in the 54th minute against Schalke for what looked set to be his longest outing in the Bundesliga this season — not difficult to top given he had not gone more than seven minutes in any league outing....

Weah entered in the 79th minute with PSG up 2-0 over Troyes, nearly 23 years after his father George Weah last suited up for the French giants, and was given the central forward role for the side. He used his pace to create a great opportunity for himself in stoppage time as he was able to simply outrun defenders to a ball just over the halfway line, getting into a one-on-one against the Troyes goalkeeper....

The Cheese Farmers kicked off the 2014 half of the Eredivisie season in style, rolling to a 3-0 victory over NEC Breda that saw Johannson score his 12th league goal of the season, and 19th in all competitions. The U.S. national team striker tallied just before halftime in a win that helped AZ climb into seventh place in the league. The performance of the weekend was not turned in by Johannsson, but rather by goalkeeper Brad Guzan, who delivered several key saves in Aston Villa’s 2-2 tie against Liverpool on Sunday....

Every year, more than 3.3 million people in America die, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “We can’t just keep putting bodies in the ground,” said Harries. Burial is expensive and bad for the environment, and cremation isn’t much better. “There has been very little innovation in this space for decades. [But] the industry is changing just like any other,” Harries said. “People want environmentally friendly options....

Speaking with local news station Fox 34 News, Eilsel Garcia, owner of Pawn Texas in Lubbock, claimed that locals have increasingly turned to pawning off their personal possessions in order to afford gas. This has involved items like firearms, tools, computers, phones, video game consoles, and even items with sentimental value, like jewelry and inherited heirlooms. “They’re coming in and they’re pawning their personal items to help them out and we’re here to help them out,” Garcia explained....

The warning comes hours after President Joe Biden pledged that all Americans would be rescued from the country as well as U.S. Afghan allies who are now at risk following the Taliban’s swift takeover of the country. The embassy in Kabul said in a statement that U.S. citizens should only come to the airport if they receive specific instructions to do so from U.S. officials and urged them to complete necessary paperwork if they haven’t done so already....

“I talked to him, asked him, and he admitted he was Glendon Alexander,” AmeriLeague’s operations manager Marcus Bass said. “He told me he was stepping away and to tell the staff that there’ll be new ownership. I was in shock. I’m just hoping that all the people who have worked on this project can land on their feet.” MORE: Ten Team USA coach candidates | SN’s search for Cerruti, basketball’s ‘mystery man’...

“These are decisions that are life and death decisions,” he told Newsweek in an interview over the weekend. “We want people to understand the virus is still very much out there. It’s not going away. It’s not going to go away probably until we get a vaccine.” The costs at play for the first-term governor are multi-pronged, as the well-being of individuals and the health of the economy remain a constant juggling act....

The $300 million proposal from Plains All American Pipeline of Houston is being evaluated, with key economic studies to be released by spring 2022. A different offshore pipeline ruptured in October, spilling over 25,000 gallons of crude oil near Huntington Beach. The Plains pipeline, which runs 123 miles largely underground along the coastline near Santa Barbara, could represent the dichotomy of California’s present energy needs versus the state’s desire to continue moving toward renewable energy sources....
