OCEANSIDE, Calif. -- It was a moment captured by an artist's eye -- Friday night's waxing crescent moon hovered above the Oceanside Pier, almost perfectly aligned to its center. "The moon winks goodnight," described Travis Griffith in a social media post shared on both Instagram and X. This local photographer and creator of Light and Magic Art was in the right place at the right time, capturing on camera a moment that can be compared to the famous Scrippshenge.

As reported by FOX 5 time and time again, the Scrippshenge spectacle can viewed once or twice a year when the setting sun dips toward the horizon, perfectly aligning between the support beams of the Scripps Pier in La Jolla. Though this crescent moon is not framed from above like the aforementioned sunset sought by so many year and year, Griffith's photo depicts the Oceanside Pier's ramp as a pathway leading directly to a hanging Luna.

A criminal trial awaits Rudy Giuliani in Georgia. He is an alleged unnamed co-conspirator in a federal indictment against Donald Trump. And now he’s been ordered to pay a sum he surely cannot afford. The $148 million verdict in a defamation case brought by two former Georgia election workers marks a new low point for the man once lauded as “America’s mayor,” whose advocacy of Donald Trump’s false election claims has led to criminal charges and hefty legal bills. And the jury’s verdict could be a troubling sign for Giuliani as he gears up to defend himself against charges in Georgia that could land him behind bars. “It’s like everything is crashing down on him,” said Nick Akerman, a New York attorney who briefly worked alongside Giuliani in the federal prosecutors’ office there. “He hasn’t come to grips with what he has done to his life. He has completely destroyed himself.” A defiant Giuliani vowed Friday to appeal, calling the damages award for R...British man pleads not guilty in alleged $99 million wine fraud conspiracy

NEW YORK (AP) — A British man pleaded not guilty in a New York courtroom Saturday in connection with an alleged $99 million, Ponzi-like fraud involving high-priced fine wine and duped investors.Stephen Burton, 58, was extradited Friday to New York from Morocco, where he was arrested in 2022 after using a bogus Zimbabwean passport to enter that country, U.S. Attorney Breon Peace’s office said.Burton was arraigned in Brooklyn federal court on Saturday and pleaded not guilty to charges of wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy. He is detained without bail pending his next court hearing on Jan. 22.“These are all allegations, and we will defend them vigorously,” Burton’s lawyer, John Wallenstein, said. “We’re going to wait for the discovery and examine the evidence very carefully.”Prosecutors said Burton and another British man, James Wellesley, 56, ran a company called Bordeaux Cellars, which they said brokered loans between investors and wealthy wine co...People’s Party candidate must stop using ‘engineer,’ B.C. Supreme Court rules

VICTORIA — A British Columbia Supreme Court judge has ruled that a Vancouver Island People’s Party of Canada candidate who ran against Elizabeth May in the last federal election must stop describing himself as an engineer.The decision from Justice Jan Brongers says David Hilderman publicly described himself as an engineer in campaign materials and on social media, while not being a member of the province’s association of professional engineers and geoscientists.Brongers found that to be a breach of the province’s Professional Governance Act and he ordered Hilderman to stop using the title.The association filed a lawsuit in 2022 to stop Hilderman from using the word “engineer” as a non-member, claiming it created the “erroneous impression” that he was authorized to practise as a professional engineer. The judge’s ruling, released Thursday, says Hilderman holds a bachelor of applied sciences from the University of Regina and has worked i...Activision Blizzard to pay $54 million to settle California state workplace discrimination claims

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Activision Blizzard has agreed to pay about $54 million to settle discrimination claims brought by California’s civil rights agency on behalf of women employed by the video game maker.The settlement, which is subject to court approval, resolves allegations that the maker of Call of Duty, Overwatch, World of Warcraft and other video games “discriminated against women at the company, including denying promotion opportunities and paying them less than men for doing substantially similar work,” the California Civil Rights Department announced late Friday.Allegations of workplace discrimination helped drag down Activision’s stock price in 2021, paving the way for Microsoft’s eventual takeover bid in January 2022. The software giant, which owns the Xbox gaming system, closed its $69 billion deal to buy Activision in October after fending off global opposition from antitrust regulators and rivals.California’s civil rights agency sued Santa Monica-based ...Quaker Oats recalls granola products due to salmonella risk

Filip Gustavsson stopped 36 shots in regulation, and all three shots he faced in the shootout as the Wild won for the third straight time, beating the Vancouver Canucks 2-1 on Sunday afternoon at Xcel Energy Center.Mats Zuccarello scored the only shootout goal for either team.Freddy Gaudreau scored in regulation for the Wild, who improved to 7-2-0 under head coach John Hynes — and have earned four points in two games without their injured top defensemen, Jonas Brodin and Jared Spurgeon. The Wild beat Calgary, 3-2, in a shootout on Thursday.As they did Dec. 7 at Vancouver, the Wild played a strong first period. This time, however, they took a one-goal lead into the second intermission instead of a one-goal deficit (on the way to a 2-0 loss at Rogers Arena).Charging the crease on a rush, Gaudreu tipped in a deadeye pass from Marcus Foligno — streaking down the right half boards — past DeSmith for a 1-0 lead with 1:55 left in the first period.Pat Maroon had the second assist, his 300th...Natalie Darwitz finds ‘my calling’ leading Minnesota’s new professional women’s hockey team

Perched high in the stands at TRIA Rink in downtown St. Paul as she watched Minnesota’s entry in the newly formed Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) go through a recent practice in preparation for its inaugural game on January 3, Natalie Darwitz admitted to suffering a little on-ice envy.Thrilled to be chosen to serve as Minnesota’s general manager in the six-team league on the strength of her own illustrious career that included two NCAA championships at the U, three Olympic medals and successful coaching stints on the college and high school level, she willingly has traded her stick and skates for a desk and cellphone.But as she watches the likes of former Gophers star Taylor Heise get a chance to earn a living playing the game professionally, it serves as a constant reminder of how Darwitz and hercontemporaries were not afforded the same opportunity.It’s part of what motivated her to accept the position, and the responsibility that goes with trying to establish a lucrative...Latest news
