Cormac McCarthy, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of ‘The Road’ and ‘No Country For Old Men,’ dies at 89

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:52:12 GMT

Cormac McCarthy, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist who in prose both dense and brittle took readers from the southern Appalachians to the desert Southwest in such novels as “The Road,” “Blood Meridian” and “All the Pretty Horses,” died Tuesday. He was 89.McCarthy died of natural causes in Santa Fe, New Mexico, publisher Alfred A. Knopf said.McCarthy, raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, was compared to William Faulkner for his Old Testament style and rural settings. McCarthy’s themes, like Faulkner’s, often were bleak and violent and dramatized how the past overwhelmed the present. Across stark and forbidding landscapes and rundown border communities, he placed drifters, thieves, prostitutes and old, broken men, all unable to escape fates determined for them well before they were born. As the doomed John Grady Cole of McCarthy’s celebrated “Border” trilogy would learn, dreams of a better life were only dreams, and falling in love an act of folly.McCarthy’s own story was one of be...

Cape Cod great white shark researchers looking at using drones to spot sharks off beaches

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:52:12 GMT

Cape Cod great white shark researchers this summer will be using drones to spot the apex predators off beaches, as the scientists look at whether the technology is effective for shark surveillance off the Cape.This comes after a high-profile drone shark study out of California — finding that juvenile white sharks were close to people on 97% of the days surveyed, and no one was bitten during the 2-year drone study.Along the Cape, scientists last summer started to use drones in a pilot study.“When water conditions are clear and nice, this is an incredible tool to study sharks and their activities off of our beaches,” Atlantic White Shark Conservancy staff scientist Megan Winton said during the conservancy’s media day on Tuesday.“One thing we want to do is get an idea of how they’re using the nearshore waters right off our beaches with these direct observations,” Winton added of the great whites.This summer, the researchers will be trying to fi...

Instant Pot maker seeks bankruptcy protection as sales go cold

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:52:12 GMT

The maker of Pyrex glassware and Instant Pot has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as the company that was already struggling is stung by inflation, with Americans pulling back on spending. According to a filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas this week, Instant Brands, based outside of Chicago, has more than $500 million in both assets and liabilities. Inflation has buffeted consumers after a pandemic-fueled binge on goods for the home, but spending has also moved elsewhere as people are again able to travel, or go to restaurants and shows. And Instant Pots, which became a must-have gadget several years ago, have been disappearing from kitchens. Sales of “electronic multicooker devices,” most of which are Instant Pots, reached $758 million in 2020, the start of the pandemic. Sales had plunged 50% by last year, to $344 million. Dollar and unit sales have declined 20% from last year in the period ending in April, according to the...
