Two girls and an adult who went missing when a huge explosion tore through a Nebraska biofuels plant are confirmed dead, officials said Wednesday. More than a day after the blast, fire crews were still battling smoldering flames and say they can’t safely enter the plant’s unstable wreckage.The children had been waiting for the employee at Horizon Biofuels to finish work so they could go to a doctor’s appointment when the explosion shook the town at around noon Tuesday, Fremont Mayor Joey Spellerberg said. He wasn’t sure of their exact ages but said both were under age 12. Authorities did not provide their names or details on how the three were related.The plant makes animal bedding and wood pellets for heating and smoking food, using tons of wood waste. Spellerberg said authorities believe the blast was likely a wood dust explosion in the plant’s tall elevator tower.“That’s really the only thing that makes sense,” Spellerberg said. He said Horizon Biofuels is cooperating “as far as I know.”The company did not immediately respond to phone calls seeking comment. Nebraska21 hours agoAn explosion and fire at a Nebraska plant are preventing a search for 3 missing peopleMississippiJul 28Watch: 18-wheeler explodes on Mississippi interstateThe top of the elevator tower was torn apart, exposing a mangled concrete-and-rebar core. Metal siding on the building below was left crumpled and charred, while wisps of white smoke drifted into the air Wednesday despite rain overnight. Spellerberg said fire crews were evaluating whether the whole facility might collapse, making it difficult to get inside as they battle the fire.“It’s going to be very slow,” said Carl Nielsen of the city’s volunteer fire department. He said authorities do not have a timeline for when they expect the bodies to be recovered. “My heart hurts,” Spellerberg told reporters. “It’s a tragedy. We pray for all the families involved.”The company has 10 employees, according to the Nebraska Manufacturing Extension Partnership. A 2014 fire at the building had damaged the electrical system but left the structure intact, according to reporting by the Fremont Tribune. Significant accumulations of wood dust particles can be a fire and explosion hazard, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.Taylor Kirklin, who lives about a half mile from the building, said her whole house shook from the explosion, which was so loud she thought someone had crashed a car into her family’s dog kennel business on the property.“We were really unsure when the explosion happened which plant it was, because there are so many in that area,” she said. The facility is surrounded by other manufacturing and food processing plants.Fremont, a city of about 27,000 and the sixth-largest in Nebraska, is 32 miles northwest of Omaha.Emily Anderson, who lives just blocks from the plant, said she heard “one really big boom” before police cars flooded in.“There were just huge plumes of very, very black smoke,” Anderson said. “It was scary.”

A handful of players Mountaineer fans will want to keep a close eye on in 2025.
After being diagnosed with colon cancer in 2023, James Van Der Beek has learned that living with the disease is a “full-time job.”He’s made countless lifestyle changes to support his health, from stretching more and practicing yoga, to trying out the keto diet, and finding “the beauty of just taking things a little bit more slowly and prioritizing rest and really allowing that to be the job,” he tells TODAY.com.As far as his status with his cancer battle and the road ahead, he says: “I’m just on the journey. ... It’s a process. It’ll probably be a process for the rest of my life.”The “Dawson’s Creek” alum has continued to work since his diagnosis, starring in the upcoming TV series, “Elle,” about the high school years of the “Legally Blonde” character.“The greatest thing about work is a cancer doesn’t exist between action and cut,” he says. “It was fun to drop in and just have a blast because it’s such a great cast, a great production, and everybody out there is really talented.”Celebrity NewsDec 2, 2024James Van Der Beek shares health update after cancer diagnosisCelebrity NewsJul 22Katie Holmes reunites with ‘Dawson's Creek' costar Joshua JacksonVan Der Beek is opening up about his colon cancer to increase awareness of the importance of early detection, especially as more people under 50 are being diagnosed. He’s a paid spokesperson for Guardant Health, which offers a blood test to screen for colon cancer, approved by the Food and Drug Administration in July 2024.While the father of six experienced bowel changes, which led him to undergo a colonoscopy, he stressed the importance of following colon cancer screening guidelines, regardless of whether you have symptoms. People with average risk should start screening at 45, per the American Cancer Society, and those with increased risk should start earlier.“I got screened at 46,” Van Der Beek says. “I didn’t realize they had dropped it to 45. I thought I was way ahead of the game.”“Even just the slightest little change, it could be something, but ... don’t think that not having symptoms means you don’t have to get screened, especially for something that is this curable when caught early,” he continues. “That’s really what I want to get across.”“I ate as well as I could. I was healthy. I was an amazing cardiovascular shape,” he adds. “There was no reason in my mind that I should have gotten a positive diagnosis.”Since speaking out about his diagnosis, Van Der Beek has heard many times that he’s helped others, from fans and the people in his community alike. “Guys I see at the gas station, people come up to me at a coffee shop, I appreciate it every time,” he recalls.“That’s been stuff that really makes me cry. When people say, ‘I got checked, I got a colonoscopy, I got a polyp removed,’ ... just to save somebody that journey.”This story first appeared on TODAY.com.

The S&P 500 gave up earlier gains and closed lower after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled the central bank isn’t ready to cut rates, as it assesses the impact of President Donald Trump’s higher tariff levels on the inflation picture.The broad market index slipped 0.1%, after gaining 0.4% earlier in the session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 171 points, or 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite lost 0.2%.Investors parsed Powell’s comments at a press conference for insights into the Fed’s next move — after it didn’t budge on rates following its July meeting. Powell said that the central bank has “made no decisions” about a potential policy change in September.“Our obligation is to keep longer term inflation expectations well anchored and to prevent a one time increase in the price level from becoming an ongoing inflation problem,” Powell said. “Higher tariffs have begun to show through more clearly to prices of some goods, but their overall effects on economic activity and inflation remain to be seen.”The comments poured cold water on traders hoping for a rate cut in September and at least another decrease before the year is out. Treasury yields jumped as Powell signaled it may take a bit to assess the effect of tariffs on consumer prices.The central bank’s decision to keep rates the same was not unanimous, however, with Fed governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller dissenting. Both were in favor of a quarter-point cut at the current policy meeting.“Powell isn’t buckling under the political pressure to cut rates, so markets needed to reprice the overall level of the Fed Funds rate going out a few months,” said Jamie Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial Group. “The reaction function wasn’t that bad, largely because it’s clear where rates are headed, despite Powell’s current ability to enforce the wait and see.”It was the second day off losses for Wall Street following a streak of seven record highs for the S&P 500. Major averages started the day mostly in the green, encouraged by a better-than-expected GDP report that signaled to some that the economy was weathering higher tariff rates.The post-Fed losses were led by consumer-focused stocks like Home Depot, which could benefit from lower rates.Tariff effects on inflation still need to be seen, Powell saysJonathan Ernst | ReutersU.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell gestures during a press conference following the issuance of the Federal Open Market Committee’s statement on interest rate policy in Washington, D.C., U.S., July 30, 2025. The Fed can keep the interest rate steady while waiting to see if tariff policy pushes up inflation, Powell said.“Higher tariffs have begun to show through more clearly to prices of some goods, but their overall effects on economic activity and inflation remain to be seen,” Powell said.Powell said a “reasonable base case” could be that effects to inflation will be “short lived.” But he also cautioned that levies could cause inflationary changes that are “more persistent.”“Our obligation is to keep longer term ... inflation expectations well anchored and to prevent a one-time increase in the price level from becoming an ongoing inflation problem,” Powell said.“For the time being, we’re well positioned to learn more about the likely course of the economy and the evolving balance of risks before adjusting our policy stance,” he added. “We see our current policy stance as appropriate to guard against inflation risks.”— Alex HarringDivided Fed keeps rates unchangedThe Fed kept monetary policy unchanged, as was widely expected. However, two central bank officials — Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman — dissented in the decision, pushing for the Fed to cut the overnight rate by 0.25 percentage point. This was the first time since 1993 that the Fed’s policy decision was met with so much dissent. — Fred ImbertJobs report could trump Fed decision, says UBSGabby Jones | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesA “We’re Hiring” sign displayed at a Taco Bell restaurant in New York, US, on Wednesday, July 29, 2025. Investors are focusing on macro drivers right now, but they shouldn’t dismiss the Federal Reserve’s comments at the close of its meeting Wednesday, according to UBS.“The common thinking in markets seems to be that the Jul employment report on 1 Aug could trump the rate decision in terms of market impact, as it will provide more timely information on the monetary policy outlook,” strategist Alvise Marino wrote in a note Wednesday.“While we acknowledge this, we also think that how the FOMC today characterizes factors such as robust corporate earnings or the ongoing easing in financial conditions will matter for the market’s perception of the Fed’s independence,” he added.President Donald Trump has been pushing Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut rates, but the central bank is unlikely to do so right now.“The risk we see is that any signals from the FOMC statement or from Chair Powell that are perceived as increasing the odds of a Sep cut could be interpreted as concessions to political pressure, given that the economic picture does not seem to clearly call for policy easing,” Marino said.— Michelle FoxOppenheimer upgrades regional bank PNC to outperformIn a Wednesday note, Oppenheimer upgraded shares of regional bank PNC Financial Services Group to an outperform rating from perform.Shares of PNC have added less than 1% this year. Oppenheimer’s $238 price target implies an upside of 23% ahead.“The shares have lagged both the banks and the broader market in the past year, but we see PNC as a well-managed, high-quality and consistently profitable regional banking company,” wrote Oppenheimer analysts Chris Kotowski and John Coffey.The analysts also like PNC from an industry backdrop at this point. Commercial banks make more sense than investment banks, which are still taking a hit from somewhat muted investment bank revenues, they said.“We have two sets of themes that lead us to prefer the plain vanilla ‘coupon-clipping’ commercial banks to the more transactional investment banks at this juncture,” Kotowski and Coffey said. “We see the commercial banks benefiting from five little things that should allow them to generate double-digit earnings growth in the year ahead: fixed asset repricing should boost NII growth above loan growth, loan growth slowly improving, card losses peaking, buybacks accelerating as capital ratios have been built, and eking out productivity gains.”Shares of PNC were trading marginally higher on Wednesday.— Lisa Kailai HanBuy the dip on PayPal as economics remain ‘attractive,’ analyst saysInvestors should buy the dip in PayPal shares, which sold off far too much on the back of its second-quarter results, says Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev.Dolev kept his outperform rating on PayPal and lowered his price target by $3 to $84, which implies 17.6% potential upside from the the stock’s latest close. Shares of the fintech company are down nearly 8% week to date and more than 16.5% year to date, with losses accelerating this week after PayPal on Tuesday reported slowing growth in transaction margin dollars.“Our analysis, which triangulates into core PayPal button growth based on disclosures around other branded components like BNPL and Pay with Venmo, suggests that core branded growth actually improved relative to 1Q levels,” Dolev wrote in a note. “Plus, we remind investors that the BNPL/Pay with Venmo components of branded checkout come at attractive economics – we estimate that Pay with Venmo’s transaction margins can be ~1.5x that of companywide levels.”— Pia SinghSpotify is a buy after earnings miss, Deutsche Bank Research saysDavid Tramontan | Lightrocket | Getty ImagesInvestors should buy the dip after Spotify Technology‘s earnings miss, according to Deutsche Bank Research.Shares of the music streaming service dropped more than 11% Tuesday, its worst day going back to July 2023, after Spotify’s results from its most recent quarter and current quarter guidance disappointed expectations.Yet Benjamin Black, research analyst at Deutsche Bank Research, said the slide is an opportunity for investors. The company, which boasts robust engagement among users, will likely raise its prices before year end, a potential catalyst for the stock, he said.“We see a buying opportunity here,” wrote Black, adding, “SPOT beat MAU and Premium subs expectations; engagement continues to be robust, and free-to-paid conversion is trending higher. This creates the opportunity for SPOT to lean into price increases that could include both music and non-music content (which have higher gross margins).”— Sarah MinStocks open little changed Stocks opened little changed on Wednesday, as investors await the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision and more corporate earnings.The S&P 500 inched up 0.09%, while the Nasdaq Composite added 0.2%.

So, we suspect expectations for earnings and valuations could rise further, perhaps quite a bit for the ‘tech’ sectors, even if that meant the rally narrowed further,” Capital Economics wrote.The researcher acknowledged that its 6,250 end of 2025 forecast for the S&P “might be a bit too pessimistic,” while its end of 2026 forecast of 7,000 “seems as though it could plausibly come a bit sooner than we had anticipated. Of course, there’s still a fair amount of remaining uncertainty, not least around the U.S.-China negotiations and how it all feeds through to the U.S. and global economies.”The broad-based nature of the recent rally in stocks is also cause for optimism, Mathews said. “Although IT and industrials have clearly led the way,” six of the 11 main sectors in the S&P 500 are higher now than they were at the prior market top in February, and two others are very close. “Most have seen upward revisions to earnings expectations, too.”— Scott SchnipperSee the stocks moving in extended tradingThese are some of the stocks making notable moves in after-hour trading:Starbucks — The coffee chain’s shares added 3% in extended trading after revenue for the fiscal third quarter came in higher than expected.

A desert region in northern Mexico sparked the imagination of Prof. Joel Stavans, a physicist who studies the physics of biological processes and is particularly interested in natural bacterial communities. He learned about a unique aquatic environment in the Cuatro Ciénegas Basin—whose name means "four marshes" in Spanish—located in the Mexican state of Coahuila. This area is home to an extraordinary diversity of life forms, including rare microbial communities that thrive in extreme conditions similar to those that existed on Earth during the Precambrian era, some 700 million years ago.

In ecosystems around the world, fungi play crucial roles in supporting plant life. Their ability to form connections between plant roots can enhance water and nutrient uptake and promote plant growth. While fungal symbioses have been extensively explored in the past, some researchers believe these underground networks may be far more complex than they seem.
Chemical research is often a process of trial and error. Things often don't go as expected in the laboratory: reactions stall or produce too little product. Knowledge of the chemical properties of the substances involved is then no longer sufficient. Instead, chemists would like to look deeper into the reaction, down to the subatomic level.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Special Presidential Envoy for Russia and Ukraine Keith Kellogg said that the United States has not really gone after Russia’s money flows from oil that hard and that the level of sanctions is medium, but the enforcement level is low and “if you start enforcing those sanctions, they start to bite.” And he thinks President Donald Trump will move in the direction of stronger economic action on Russian oil. Kellogg stated, “[W]e really haven’t pushed hard on the economic piece of the oil. It’s a petro state. They export about 7 million barrels of oil a day and a lot of it goes through what we call the dark fleet. And I think if you start to move in that direction, I think the President will. That’s just a belief on my part. I haven’t talked to him on that.” Kellogg also stated that “if you talk to the secretary of the treasury, if you look at sanctions, and Secretary Bessent has said that, if you look at them between one and ten, one being low, ten being high, they’re probably at about a level of six. But the enforcement’s about aThe post Kellogg: We Aren’t Really Enforcing Russian Oil Sanctions, If We Did, ‘They Start to Bite’ appeared first on Breitbart.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Special Presidential Envoy for Russia and Ukraine Keith Kellogg stated that the Russia-Ukraine war would be over with right away if Russia said it wanted a ceasefire and if Russia did so, “The Ukrainians will move that fast and the President would like to see it.” But Vladimir Putin has not taken advantage of the “golden opportunity to end this war” that he has been given by President Donald Trump giving him “enormous latitude” to reach an end. Kellogg said, “I will tell you, if Putin came out tonight and said, we want a ceasefire tomorrow, it would happen that fast. The Ukrainians will move that fast and the President would like to see it. And the frustration he feels is the constant bombardment of a European [country], because Ukraine is a European [country] and the destruction that you see there.” Later, Kellogg added that Putin “had a golden opportunity to end this war. The President’s given him enormous latitude to be able to say, okay, this is all going to get to — but let’s finish this. He can do that. And I think the President doesn’t see that.” Follow Ian HanchettThe post Kellogg: Russia Could End War Tomorrow, ‘The Ukrainians Will Move that Fast’ appeared first on Breitbart.
