By Nathaniel Meyersohn | CNNTwo major retail chains are closing roughly 800 stores. One company’s spaces likely will be filled, while the other’s may become empty, and unsightly, zombie stores.Retailers are already lining up to take over the approximately 400 shuttering Bed Bath & Beyond stores in strip malls, where customers can easily park in front. But 400 Foot Locker stores set to close in middle and lower-tier regional enclosed malls around the country will stay vacant for much longer, say retail landlords and real estate experts.The diverging outlooks for Foot Locker and Bed Bath & Beyond real estate reflect shopping trends and the troubled state of the retail property market in the United States. The future of these spaces matters because they impact local tax bases, jobs and the economic conditions of communities across America.Will they get a second life?Foot LockerFoot Locker said earlier this month that it will close nearly 200 stores in class C and D ...Bay Area storm: Video shows hail in Berkeley

PHOENIX (AP) — The NFL took another step at the owners meetings to increase diversity throughout the league while continuing to face criticism and a lawsuit for lack of representation among head coaches.Each team is now required to have a person in charge of diversity, equity and inclusion. Currently, 15 clubs have a DEI head and two others have someone leading that department and another one.“They actually have to have specific roles and deliverables that are in their job description so that is a big thing,” NFL executive Jonathan Beane said in an interview with The Associated Press. “The reason why that’s so important is we have to have a single point of accountability at the clubs where they are focused on driving it throughout their organization, in football operations and coaching, in business operations, engaging with ownership to make sure that this is a priority throughout the whole ecosystem of a club.”The league has reached milestone points in diverse hirings in the front ...Hitman in New Jersey murder-for-hire sentenced to 16 years

(CNN) — Un agujero negro ultramasivo, considerado uno de los más grandes jamás detectados, ha sido descubierto por astrónomos utilizando una nueva técnica.Los hallazgos, publicados por la Royal Astronomical Society, muestran que el agujero negro tiene más de 30.000 millones de veces la masa del sol, una escala que es raramente vista por los astrónomos.Los investigadores lo describieron como un descubrimiento “extremadamente emocionante” que abre posibilidades “tentadoras” para detectar más agujeros negros.El equipo, dirigido por la Universidad de Durham en el Reino Unido, utilizó una técnica conocida como lente gravitacional, en la que una galaxia cercana se usa como una lupa gigante para desviar la luz de un objeto más distante. Esto les permitió examinar de cerca cómo un agujero negro desvía la luz dentro de una galaxia a cientos de millones de años luz de la Tierra.Astrónomos descubren un agujero negro “fuera de control” tras ser expulsad...Harris/Rales Group presenta oferta para comprar Washington Commanders
