The "Lizzie McGuire" alum reminisced about working with the "American Pie" star and how Coolidge got into character as Fiona, the wicked stepmother of Duff's character, Sam, in the modernization of the classic fairy tale. "By the way, it's just so much fun to watch her career," Duff, 38, said of the Emmy-winning actress. "She just goes there in such a big way that it was really impressive and slightly intimidating as a teenager." "And she was mean to me, so it was a little scary, 'cause I was only like 15 and she was just, you know, mean to me 'cause she's my evil stepmother," she recalled.

At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story. Hi, I'm the Brainerd Dispatch. I started working a few days before Christmas in 1881 and became a daily paper two years later.

1+ min ago (617+ words) On December 1, 2025, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will officially end Quantitative Tightening (QT), freezing its balance sheet at $6.57 trillion after draining $2.39 trillion from the system. Analysts point to parallels with 2019, when the last QT pause coincided with a major bottom in altcoins and a surge in Bitcoin. With liquidity returning and interest rates already cut to 3.754.00%, crypto markets are bracing for a potentially bullish shift. The Fed's halt of its balance sheet runoff comes amid strained bank reserves, now roughly $3 trillion, or about 10% of US GDP. The Overnight Reverse Repo facility, which previously absorbed $2.5 trillion in excess cash, has dropped to near zero, removing a key liquidity buffer. October 2025 saw the Secured Overnight Financing Rate spike to 4.25%, exceeding the Fed's target range. The Standing Repo Facility recorded a single-day activation of $18.5 billion, reflecting persistent demand for liquidity. FOMC minutes from October…...

1+ min ago (336+ words) Not many players stay in or around Major League Baseball until age 38, and most have a lot more name recognition than Casey Lawrence. Lawrence only appeared in six major league games this past year, but that's six more than he saw in all of 2024. In fact, Lawrence went three straight years once without appearing in the majors (2019 to 2021) despite debuting in 2017. The journeyman right-handed pitcher came to the Seattle Mariners for his second and third stints this year, with a brief hiatus in the middle for the Toronto Blue Jays. And although he shouldn't be expected to play a huge role, he'll be back for more with Seattle in 2026, at least to start the spring. According to a report from Aram Leighton of Just Baseball, Lawrence and the Mariners agreed to a minor-league contract for the upcoming season last week....
