Bobsled Moms Take the Podium

American bobsledders Elana Meyers Taylor, 41, and Kaillie Armbruster Humphries, 40, won gold and bronze in women's monobob at the Milan Cortina Games last week, with their young kids watching from the finish line.

Elana, a mother of two special-needs children, rallied in the final heat to capture her first-ever Olympic gold and tie Bonnie Blair for the most Winter Olympic medals by an American woman with six.

Kaillie, just 20 months removed from giving birth, became the first woman 40 or older to medal in Olympic bobsled. Together, the two Americans now own four of the six monobob medals ever awarded at the Olympics.

6-Year-Old Sells 100,000 Girl Scout Cookies

A 6-year-old Pittsburgh Girl Scout named Pim Neill has sold over 100,000 boxes of cookies this season, shattering every known record.

Pim, who is medically complex and has multiple disabilities, was initially turned away from her first troop because a leader said her disabilities would hold the group back.

Her family took to TikTok, and supporters across the country rallied behind her. Pim's original goal? Selling enough boxes to earn a trip to Niagara Falls with her parents. She blew past that mark weeks ago and hasn't slowed down.

Britain's Top Cat Outlasts Six Prime Ministers

Britain's most powerful resident isn't a prime minister. Larry the cat celebrated 15 years as Chief Mouser at 10 Downing Street last Sunday, having now served under six prime ministers.

The 19-year-old tabby was adopted from a London shelter in 2011 and has become famous for photo-bombing world leaders at Britain's most famous front door.

His rodent-catching skills remain up for debate, but his approval ratings aren't.

A Cambridge professor noted that Larry's popularity easily outpaces any prime minister. As one photographer put it, Larry is very good at what he does best: lounging around.

Answer...

High-interest credit cards can make it ridiculously hard to get ahead.

But there's a solution: transfer your balance to a credit card that offers a 0% intro APR on balance transfers until 2027 and no annual fee, so more of your money actually goes toward paying down your balance.

It could be worth considering if you want to break that high-interest cycle.

"Despite being a 41-year-old mother of two and people telling you that it's over and you're done, [my sons have] been told 'no' since the day they were born. And I want to show them that, despite what the world tells you, despite what other people tell you, you can still go after your dreams."

— Elana Meyers Taylor, U.S. bobsledder and mother of two sons with disabilities, on winning Olympic monobob gold at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games

Matthews' Golden Moment, Rodeo Returns, and Restored Hueys

Matthews Helps Hockey Win Gold

Team USA defeated Canada 2-1 in overtime to win its first Olympic men's hockey gold since 1980, led in part by team captain and former Scottsdale youth hockey star Auston Matthews.

Matthews was instrumental throughout the tournament, finishing with three goals and four assists, including an assist on the opening goal in the gold medal game.

"It's so special. It's just a feeling, playing for your country and doing it in this kind of fashion. I mean, I don't even know what to say. It's unbelievable," he said afterward.

Matthews, who in the NHL is captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, also joined in honoring late USA Hockey star Johnny Gaudreau by parading his jersey around the ice after Sunday's win.

In the title game, Jack Hughes buried the golden goal at 1:41 into overtime after a back-and-forth defensive battle, with USA goalie Connor Hellebuyck stopping 41 shots.

Lottery Win Triggers Legal Fight

A Scottsdale Circle K store manager is at the center of a legal fight after allegedly purchasing a $12.8 million winning lottery ticket that had been printed but never sold.

Court filings allege a store customer in November paid for only $60 of an $85 batch of The Pick tickets, leaving 25 behind, including the winning ticket.

The next day, store manager Robert Gawlitza allegedly identified the winning ticket, clocked out, and bought all 25 abandoned tickets—including the jackpot winner—for $10.

In a court filing, Circle K asked a judge to determine ownership, citing state rules that treat unsold tickets as retailer property. The release of the prize money remains on hold.

Judge Orders Takeover of Prison Health Care

A federal judge plans to name a court-appointed receiver to take control of health care in Arizona's prisons after years of alleged medical and mental health failures.

U.S. District Judge Roslyn Silver cited 14 years of litigation, preventable deaths and suicides, staffing shortages, and noncompliance in ruling the system remains dangerously deficient.

Under the judge's order, attorneys for the state and prisoners must submit potential receiver candidates within 60 days.

The state Department of Corrections and Gov. Katie Hobbs said they disagree and plan to appeal, arguing the state has made significant reforms and measurable improvements.
