  3. weird The executive director of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, was shot Tuesday as federal agents arrived at his home to serve a search warrant, police said. Bryan Malinowski, 53, the airport's executive director, was injured during a firefight after 6 a.m. as Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents arrived. He "was injured with gunshot wounds and treated on scene by paramedics before being transported to a local hospital," Arkansas State Police said in a statement, adding that his condition was unknown as of 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. https://www.yahoo.com/news/airport-executive-shot-firefight-federal-135816972.html
  4. Seems to be renewed interest . Amazing after all these yrs , still nothing. In the early morning hours of March 18, 1990, 13 works of art were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Guards admitted two men posing as police officers responding to a disturbance call, and the thieves bound the guards and looted the museum over the next hour. The case is unsolved; no arrests have been made, and no works have been recovered. The stolen works have been valued at hundreds of millions of dollars by the FBI and art dealers. The museum offers a $10 million reward for information leading to the art's recovery, the largest bounty ever offered by a private institution. The stolen works were originally procured by art collector Isabella Stewart Gardner (1840–1924) and were intended for permanent display at the museum with the rest of her collection. Among them was The Concert, one of only 34 known paintings by Johannes Vermeer and thought to be the most valuable unrecovered painting in the world. Also missing is The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, Rembrandt's only seascape. Other paintings and sketches by Rembrandt, Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet and Govert Flinck were stolen, along with a relatively valueless eagle finial and Chinese gu. Experts were puzzled by the choice of artwork, as more valuable works were left untouched. As the collection and its layout are intended to be permanent, empty frames remain hanging both in homage to the missing works and as placeholders for their return.
  5. fter being the poster child for the booming American housing market during the pandemic, Austin has seen its fortunes reverse, as the incredible growth that started in 2020 has evaporated. The Texan city has been at the epicenter of the American housing market correction after house prices reached the national peak of $348,225 in July 2022, according to Zillow. Now prices in Austin are dropping 10 times faster than the national average. "There was an explosion of activity in Austin that just got too hot," Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather told Newsweek. "And then there needed to be a correction." Just as most corrections, the areas that had the biggest booms had the biggest busts.
