Archaeologists discover 2,000-year-old child’s shoe with laces intact

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:19:19 GMT

(CNN) — A shoe belonging to a child and dating back more than 2,000 years has been unearthed in Austria with its laces still intact.The design of the leather shoe, whose size roughly corresponds to EU 30 (US 12), suggests it was likely made in the second century BC, according to the German Mining Museum Bochum-Leibniz Research Museum for Geo-resources.The shoe was excavated by archaeologists in the western village of Dürrnberg, where rock salt mining took place from as early as the Iron Age, it said in a recent news release.The salt, which is particularly good at preserving organic remains, is thought to have kept the shoe in extremely good condition.“Our research activities at Dürrnberg have been providing us with valuable finds for decades in order to scientifically explore the earliest mining activities. The condition of the shoe found is outstanding,” Professor Thomas Stoellner, head of the Research Department at the German Mining Museum, said in the news release.Excavation...

Stock market today: Wall Street’s worst week in six months is closing out with a mixed finish

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:19:19 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street’s worst week in six months is closing out with a mixed finish on Friday. The S&P 500 was 0.1% higher in late trading, coming off an ugly slide caused by the stock market’s growing understanding that interest rates likely won’t come down much anytime soon. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 9 points, or less than 0.1%, at 34,061, as of 3:37 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.4% higher.Pressure has built on Wall Street as yields in the bond market climb to their highest levels in more than a decade. They’ve been rising for months and accelerated this week after the Federal Reserve indicated it’s unlikely to cut its main interest rate by as much in 2024 as investors had hoped. The federal funds rate is at its highest level since 2001, which grinds down on investment prices as it undercuts high inflation.Yields were easing a bit Friday, which reduced the pressure on the stock market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury slipped to...

Deion Sanders hobbles to get around these days, but his ability to command an audience is even more potent than it was during his speedier playing days.Just three games into his first head coaching job in college football’s top division, the guy who went from Prime Time to Coach Prime has been the non-stop talk of the sporting world.Given how quickly the 56-year-old Sanders moves — metaphorically speaking, as he struggles with blood-clot issues in his legs and feet — it’s certainly not too soon to ponder where this phenomenon might lead.Can the Colorado Buffaloes keep winning even with a brutal schedule ahead of them? If they do, will a more prominent school come calling for Coach Prime in the not-too-distant future? Has Sanders’ nearly complete overhaul of a downtrodden team through the transfer portal established a new template for building a program? Should every coach start wearing sunglasses?The Buffaloes, who won a single game in 2022 and have just one winnin...
