(The Hill) -- Israel's government’s official Instagram account called out model and personality Gigi Hadid for a post she shared on the Israel-Hamas war. Hadid, who is half-Palestinian, took to her Instagram over the weekend to share a graphic that read: “There is nothing Jewish about the Israeli government’s treatment of Palestinians. Condemning the Israeli government is not antisemitic and supporting Palestinians is not supporting Hamas,” according to Variety.“Have you been sleeping the past week?” the State of Israel wrote on Instagram in reaction to Hadid’s post. “Or are you just fine turning a blind eye to Jewish babies being butchered in their homes? Your silence has been very clear about where you stand. We see you.”The State of Israel’s post also included a graphic that revised the original post to call out Hamas. The revised text reads: “There is nothing valiant about Hamas’ massacre of Israelis. Condemning Hamas for what it is (ISIS) is not anti-Palestine and supporti...The Best of Small Plates: Raphael Lunetta Is The King Of Prix Fixe

Long before the small plate movement began, diners were jamming into Santa Monica’s JiRaffe restaurant on Monday nights for a chance to experience chef Raphael Lunetta’s intriguing new concept: The Tasting Menu — something that has become commonplace in L.A. dining rooms.Popular with both diners and chefs, the sharing plates and small bites trend has taken off and redefined how we experience dining and doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, this week’s dineLA celebrates 15 years, largely inspired by the first chefs to participate — Lunetta and his JiRaffe partner and childhood friend Josiah Citrin who went on to open the Michelin-starred Melisse. “The small plate movement really approached us in the early 2000s for a couple of reasons,” the Dogtown native and avid surfer tells L.A. Weekly in his current restaurant, Lunetta. “Going out to dinner and sitting in front of somebody at a little two-top had gotten a little boring. In the ‘80s and ‘90s lunch was big....Sergio Diaz Pronounced Dead following Hit-and-Run at Warner Avenue [Santa Ana, CA]

Augusta Saraiva, Vince Golle | (TNS) Bloomberg NewsU.S. retail sales exceeded all forecasts and industrial production strengthened last month, fresh evidence of a resilient American consumer whose spending is helping stabilize manufacturing.Sales, unadjusted for inflation, increased 0.7% after upwardly revised advances in the prior two months, according to the Commerce Department. So-called control group sales — which are used to calculate spending on merchandise in the gross domestic product report — rose a better-than-expected 0.6%.Robust consumer demand, in the aftermath of September data showing stubborn inflation and surging job growth, risks prompting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates again. The reports prompted a slew of economists, from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley, to boost their tracking estimates for third-quarter GDP.The 10-year Treasury yield jumped to the highest level since 2007, while the S&P 500 Index fell.

The rankings are based on individual performance, value to the team and quality of competition. And yes, we consider defensive players.The Heisman Trophy race shifted dramatically last week as one frontrunner thrived under pressure and the other flopped.USC quarterback Caleb Williams threw a career-high three interceptions — that’s three more than he had thrown all season — in a blowout loss to Notre Dame.The performance derailed his pursuit of a second consecutive Heisman. The odds of Williams winning the award soared from basically 2-to-1 prior to Saturday’s meltdown to 35-to-1 after the loss, according to BetMGM.Meanwhile, Penix emerged as the clear frontrunner following the pulsating victory over Oregon. Penix was 2-to-1 to win the award last week; his odds are now app...Oakland man thought to have died in Cement Hill car crash was actually shot, police say
