Son Heung-min will make his MLS postseason debut after helping the Los Angeles Football Club clinch a playoff bid.
Los Angeles FC clinched a spot in the MLS playoffs after a 2-2 draw with the LA Galaxy on Sunday, Oct. 25, reaching the postseason for the eighth time in the franchise's nine-year history.
"We still got two more games to play in the regular season," Heung-min said of LAFC's fight for playoff positioning. "We want to finish as high as possible so we can have a home game as many times as possible."
LAFC have 47 points and trail the San Jose Earthquakes and the Houston Dynamo by one point in the standings, and will face Minnesota United on Nov. 1 and the Seattle Sounders on Nov. 7.
Heung-min believes the black and gold missed an opportunity to tie San Jose in the standings after an offside call against teammate Denis Bouanga in the 29th minute of the first half resulted in his apparent goal being called back.

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh has revealed himself. If not a card-carrying monetarist, he is at least a camp follower. This represents a dramatic change at the Fed, where the past Chairman Jerome Powell repeatedly rejected the basic tenets of monetarism.
This is a welcomed earthquake. After all, there are almost no monetarists left in the world (except for us, and we've been fighting a lonely rearguard action for over 40 years). The Federal Reserve has rejected monetarism consistently — and on the record — because it preferred other models for understanding the economy. In academia, monetarism has been out of fashion for decades. But by his own words, a monetarist is now leading the central bank.
Just what is monetarism? It's a doctrine which holds that money has a major influence on both the level of ***** et prices, economic activity, and the price level. Any discussion of national income determination must, therefore, center on the quantity of money and the banking system, since banks produce most of the money in modern economies. When it comes to monetary policy, its objectives are best met by targeting the rate of growth of the money supply.
Today, most economists pooh-pooh monetarism. Money and banking are nowhere to be found in their macroeconomic models, or their discourses about the course of ***** et prices, economic activity, and prices. Indeed, their forecasting exercises are typically based on elaborations of Keynesian income-expenditure models that exclude money and banking.
If that's not enough, we think that the Fed's backroom staff, mostly Keynesian-leaning Democrats, don't want alignment with a philosophy usually affiliated with Milton Friedman, but that's another story. Just look at what Joe Biden said in 2020 about how the dean of monetarism wasn't "running the show anymore."

Pierce Brosnan is ready to say goodbye to his slice of Malibu paradise, after decades of dodging wildfires, worrying about earthquakes and shelling out a fortune to keep his sprawling $100 million compound afloat.
The former James Bond star, 73, and wife Keely Shaye Smith, 62, are preparing to move on from the spectacular oceanfront estate they have called home for more than two decades, with Brosnan admitting that life along California's famously volatile coastline has begun to lose some of its ****** er.
"We've been spared by the fires a few times now. But I think it's time to move," Brosnan told The Times. "Everything changes, everything falls apart."

Austin FC is at least keeping the end of its MLS season interesting.
For the second straight week, the Verde and Black pulled out points in the match's final moments, this time using Guilherme Biro's goal to earn a 1-1 draw Saturday with the San Jose Earthquakes at Q2 Stadium.
And while Austin FC is still five points out of the ninth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference with two months and 11 contests to go, it turned in another solid performance that indicates it should be in every match the rest of the way.
Here are four key takeaways from the contest as Austin FC (6-10-7, 25 points, 14th West) has a quick turnaround with a Wednesday home match against Colorado.
Credit has to be given to Brandon Vazquez and Christian Ramírez for their short passes in the box that eventually got the ball to him, but Biro was the one who put the ball past Earthquakes goalie Angus Gunn from a tough angle. Gunn had been brilliant most of the night, but in the sixth minute of stoppage time and one of the final kicks of the game, Biro came through in the clutch.

LONDON, Sep 2 (Reuters) - The United States launched a new wave of attacks on Iran late on Tuesday six months into a deadlocked conflict, prompting Iranian missile fire at what it called U.S. ****** ets in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait ‌and Iraq.
Here are other ways Iran might retaliate if the conflict continues to escalate or a U.S. campaign to choke ‌off Iran's economy intensifies.
IRAN COULD EXPAND ATTACKS ON GULF STATES
Iran has repeatedly struck at its neighbours in response to U.S. attacks and threatened to retaliate against any who take part in U.S. efforts to strangle the country's economy with "earthquake" force.
It has targeted Gulf states and Jordan repeatedly since the war began on February 28, mostly focusing on U.S. bases but also hitting energy infrastructure and other targets.

PG&E Corp (NYSE:PCG) shares fell more than 19% after California lawmakers advanced wildfire legislation that stopped short of the liability protections utility investors had been seeking.
The amended Senate Bill 492 excludes a proposal from Governor Gavin Newsom that would have blocked insurance companies from suing utilities over wildfire-related claims, raising fresh concerns about Pacific Gas and Electric Company's exposure to future disasters.
PG&E said the legislation, amended by the California Legislature, would make some progress on wildfire risk reduction and recovery but would not provide the sustainable solution the state needs.
"Specifically, the bill does not adequately address the financing risks created by California's current wildfire liability framework," the company said in a statement. "As a result, it falls short of creating the long-term durability needed to attract affordable investment to support a safer, more reliable energy system and help keep costs down for customers."
The company pointed to an April report from the California Earthquake Authority, which found that existing funding mechanisms are not sufficient. PG&E said SB 492 does not adequately address those concerns.

HOUSTON (AP) — Jonathan Bond finished with four saves to post his sixth clean sheet in his last seven starts and help the Houston Dynamo earn a scoreless draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night.
Angus Gunn was never tested in earning his first clean sheet after surrendering 18 goals in his first six starts for San Jose (10-8-4).
Bond had a 485-minute scoreless streak in a run of five straight shutouts for Houston (12-7-3) come to an end his last time out in a 2-1 road loss to St. Louis City that ended a nine-match unbeaten streak.
Midfielder Eduard Löwen started in his first match with San Jose after being acquired from St. Louis City on Wednesday. Löwen has three goals and three **** ists this season.
San Jose began the day in fourth place in the Western Conference after coming off a 5-1 home loss to Minnesota United and failed to gain ground on second-place Houston.

Beyoncé is to donate $1 million (£730,000) to earthquake relief efforts in Colombia.
On 10 August, an earthquake struck Chocó Department, killing at least 331 people and injuring thousands of others.
Following the natural disaster, which was felt across much of western and central Colombia, Beyoncé announced on Wednesday that she would be making a "personal donation".
The funds will go towards organisations working on the ground in the nation, primarily those providing food and housing supplies.
"The earthquake caused severe loss of life and critical injuries. Many homes were completely demolished living residents without shelter," a spokesperson commented. "The epicenter of the earthquake was approximately three miles east of San Jose del Palmar, approximately 150 miles from Bogota. The earthquake was felt in cities across the country. Multiple cities have sustained damage to buildings, infrastructure, and roads, critically affecting the food supply."
The representative also urged fans to visit the websites of Food For The Poor and World Central Kitchen if they wanted to support ongoing relief efforts.

A video taken after flash flooding on the border between Nepal and China shows mudslides enveloping multiple buildings as people fled in Gyirong, Tibet, near China's border with Nepal.
The mudslides followed a 4.4-magnitude earthquake which occurred just seven minutes before video captured people sprinting away from the disaster, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
Shishir Khanal, Nepal's foreign minister, also suggested that earthquakes could be the cause in remarks to the country's parliament, according to Reuters.

NEW DELHI, Aug 26 (Reuters) - A deadly flash flood near Nepal's border with Tibet on Wednesday may have been triggered when the lower part of a glacier broke off and crashed on to the ‌valley floor hundreds of metres below, experts said citing satellite imagery from Planet Labs.
It was not clear what caused the glacier to ‌collapse, but Nepali officials have pointed to an earthquake in the region minutes earlier as a possibility.
Authorities on both sides fear the total number of casualties will be far higher than the nearly 100 bodies so far recovered. More than 300 travellers were missing, Nepal's government has said.
Before-and-after satellite imagery of the region from Planet Labs, reviewed by Reuters, showed lush green mountainside now buried under brown debris and sediment.

NEW YORK (AP) — In the opening scene of American writer Kim Stanley Robinson's "The Ministry for the Future," a heat wave combined with a breakdown of the electrical grid in India kills 20 million people. The devastation causes the world's nations to unite to combat climate change.
Scientists have long warned that the world will experience more intense extreme weather events like heat waves, storms, floods and droughts. But what once seemed like the realm of fiction is now discussed as a possibility, even an inevitability.
Warning about an "extreme of extremes" or the "Other Big One," a play off the California reference of a big future earthquake, can be fraught. After all, ***** ody can say for sure when a weather catastrophe may happen. But in the last few years, the planetary ingredients needed for a massive disturbance have been building. And alarm is growing.
"The risk is that people just think you are exaggerating," said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist with the California Institute for Water Resources. "It's the 'Boy Who Cried Wolf' problem. Sometimes wolves are real. If it's outside the door, wouldn't you want to know?"
In the 1850s, while living in Seneca Falls, New York, amateur scientist Eunice Newton Foote did a series of experiments that put different substances, including carbon dioxide and moist air, inside glass cylinders and left them in the sun. What she found was extraordinary: cylinders with carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is released when coal, gas or oil is burned, heated up faster and took longer to cool after the sun went down.

Minnesota United was putting the final touches on a 5-1 win over the Earthquakes on Saturday when the MLS match was interrupted by cuteness.
"Oh, there's a baby on the field," said Apple TV commentator Kyndra de St. Aubin said from PayPal Park in San Jose, Calif.
A toddler had escaped seats along the sideline and wandered onto the field, with a stadium staff member shown picking up the smiling kid and delivering him back to an adult. A woman who grabbed him appeared to say, "I'm so sorry."
With the game in hand during stoppage time, Loons head coach Cameron Knowles wondered what the commotion was and looked away from the game to see what it was.
"Oh, man, it's a little bit too early to get a lifetime ban from a stadium," Knowles joked.

One week out from the earthquake that shook Colombia to its core, Shakira is returning home. On Monday, the singer travels to Chocó, the area that bore the brunt of the magnitude-7.4 quake that struck on August 10 with an epicenter in San José del Palmar. It's a trip she's making not as a performer, but as a Colombian.
Shakira is on her way to Colombia to visit her country as it heals from the impact of the earthquake (@ Matthias Hangst)
According to Vanitatis, Shakira is expected to land around 2:30 p.m. local time and head to a local school, accompanied by the mayor and the governor of the region. Her arrival is scheduled for roughly 3:15 p.m., when she'll spend the day with students, families, and teachers still reeling from the disaster.
The stop is no coincidence: the school sits at the intersection of Shakira's music career and her philanthropic one. It's tied to her Barefoot Foundation, which opened its first school in Quibdó, Chocó's capital, back in 2005. In the two decades since, the foundation has built out a network of programs aimed at improving educational access for children and expanding opportunities for teenagers and young adults across Colombia, with education as the throughline of everything it does.
Few artists carry the weight that Shakira does in Colombia, and her presence in Chocó this week is being read as a gesture of solidarity from one of the country's own, delivered in person rather than from a stage or a screen.

Emergency teams in Colombia are searching desperately for survivors of an earthquake that has killed at least 281 people as the crucial window for rescues drew to a close on Thursday, with the government still only accepting help from a handful of countries.
Nearly 380 people are still missing, Colombia's agency for disaster preparedness and response said Thursday, after the quake damaged homes, schools, bridges and airports across a large swathe of the country.
"Our main efforts are focused on the missing," said President Abelardo De la Espriella in a statement late Wednesday, calling for unity.
Monday's devastating earthquake, the worst to hit Colombia in decades, posed an early test for the newly inaugurated leader. His government has surprised some by turning down or limiting help from several countries in the region, after they offered immediate ***** istance following the 7.4 magnitude quake.

PEREIRA, Colombia, Aug 13 (Reuters) - With his lean, sinewy frame, and standing just over 5 feet (1.6 meters) ‌tall, Julio Cesar Pineda feels he was destined for the ‌work of burrowing into the debris of shattered buildings to find survivors — first when a quake hit his native Colombia in 1999, and again just this week.
His efforts have won him a nickname: "Rescate" ('Rescue').
When Monday's 7.4-magnitude earthquake pummeled western Colombia, the 67-year-old was at home, near the city of ‌Pereira, in the country's ⁠coffee-growing region that was close to the epicenter of the disaster. A wall in his house collapsed, ⁠but Pineda was unhurt and decided to help those who might have been less fortunate.
"All I did was grab some gloves ... grab a helmet, and go save lives," Pineda told Reuters.

Dozens of people were killed after a powerful magnitude 7.4 earthquake rocked western Colombia early on Monday, Aug. 10.
The earthquake brought down buildings across several cities in the country and left people trapped in the rubble, local authorities said, according to Reuters.
The epicenter of the devastating earthquake was near San Jose del Palmar, in Choco, a sparsely populated province on Colombia's Pacific Coast. Choco Governor Nubia Carolina Cordoba-Curi said there were injuries and significant damage in Quibdo, the provincial capital, and warned residents about potential aftershocks.
Colombia's disaster agency said the shake, which happened at around 7:30 a.m. local time, was felt in nine departments and all 32 departmental capitals. The country's geological service measured the magnitude at 7.4 and said it struck at a depth of 60 miles.
The Aug. 10 earthquake in Colombia comes more than a month after a pair of devastating earthquakes struck Venezuela in late June, causing more than 5,000 deaths and leaving more than 16,000 people injured.

CALI, Colombia (AP) — A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia on Monday, killing at least 111 people, damaging hundreds of buildings and leaving many trapped under debris while their loved ones and rescue workers searched through rubble.
Search teams and civilians picked through the remains of destroyed buildings in the country's third-largest city, Cali, passing large pieces of concrete and other rubble down a long line of volunteers.
"Our building has basically been left in ruins, and the building next to ours? Completely collapsed," said Álvaro López, who cradled his dog as he watched the search. The desperate scene recalled the searches still ongoing in neighboring Venezuela weeks after that country was devastated by two powerful earthquakes.
Besides Cali, the quake ravaged cities across western Colombia, including Pereira, Quibdo and Manizales, and was felt in neighboring Ecuador and Panama. The epicenter was in San Jose Del Palmar, a community of about 4,800 people in the Choco region about 250 miles (400 kilometers) west of Bogota, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Colombia's President Abelardo de la Espriella said at least 87 people were injured and around 1,600 buildings were damaged, including at least 61 that completely collapsed. He declared an emergency to expedite funding for the quake recovery while saying he would visit the disaster zone.

Venezuelan Olympic weightlifting silver medalist Julio Mayora hoisted 151 kilograms (330 pounds) to win two gold medals this weekend at the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games in Santo Domingo.
Not so long ago, he was using his superhuman strength to lift up concrete blocks to rescue victims from the double earthquakes that devastated his home country.
Mayora hails from La Guaira, the northern coastal Venezuelan state that was hit hardest by the June 24 double earthquakes, with respective magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5 on the Richter scale.
The powerful earthquakes killed over 6,000 people and reduced dozens of buildings to rubble -- including people and places known to Mayora.
He dedicated his two gold medals to the victims of the earthquakes.

TOKYO, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands of people in southwestern ***** an were ordered to evacuate ‌and more than 500 flights cancelled on ‌Friday as slow-moving Typhoon Dolphin approached the region to bring violent winds, heavy rain and high waves.
The Category 1 typhoon had maximum sustained winds of 144 kph (89.5 mph) with gusts reaching 198 kph and was nearing a chain of ‌islands between the ⁠Kyushu region and Okinawa prefecture, the ***** an Meteorological Agency (JMA) said.
Authorities issued evacuation orders for ⁠nearly 260,000 residents in Kagoshima and Okinawa prefectures, while Toyota suspended work at nine factories on Friday.
Dolphin was expected to maintain its strength as it approached Okinawa prefecture, raising ‌the risk of winds that could damage or collapse some structures, authorities warned. A linear rain band — or a narrow band of intense precipitation and thunderstorms — could also develop, possibly triggering flooding, the weather agency said.
The ‌large storm was also enveloping much of the southernmost main island of Kyushu with strong winds, including ***** amoto prefecture, still ‌reeling from last week's magnitude 7.1 earthquake.

Toyota (TM) reported fiscal first quarter results on Tuesday that topped estimates for revenue and net income, and the world's largest automaker raised its full-year profit forecast and announced a share buyback even as US tariffs and softer sales hit operating profit.
Toyota now sees full-year operating income at 3.4 trillion yen ($21.3 billion) for the financial year ending March 2027, up from a previous forecast of 3 trillion yen ($18.8 billion).
