A new study finally tells car owners whether traditional or synthetic oil is better
If you're a good car owner and follow a reasonable maintenance schedule, you likely change your oil at least twice a year. Really scrupulous drivers do it more often, using the traditional "every 3,000 miles" rule. But a big question always comes up when undertaking this basic task, either yourself or at a professional garage or oil-change location: Traditional or synthetic oil. There are always two considerations when making that call: cost and quality. Everybody knows synthetic costs more. But is it really worth it? AAA decided to conduct an extensive scientific analysis to find out. The result isn't shocking, but it could guide consumer behavior toward spending a bit more money to get a long-term

A security camera belonging to the business Meyer the Hatter in the 100 block of St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans captured an attack early Saturday morning similar to the mugging of the Boston-area tourists on Bienville Street in French Quarter. Footage shows a man running behind another man and striking him in the back of the neck. Police on Monday didn't comment on whether that incident might be related to the attack on two workers for the Unitarian Universalist Association, which was holding its annual meeting at New Orleans' Ernest N.

White House threatens to sabotage insurance of low-income people if Trumpcare isn’t passed
The Trump administration is putting poor people in a lose-lose situation. During an off-camera briefing on Monday, Press Secretary Sean Spicer signaled that the Trump administration is willing to use low-income Americans’ health insurance as a bargaining chip to persuade Congress to pass Trumpcare, which will result in tens of millions of Americans losing their health insurance.

‘Bachelor’ star spills graphic details of pool sex romp
DeMario Jackson opened up about his scandalous encounter with “Bachelor in Paradise” co-star Corinne Olympios - saying she was the one who made the first move. “That night was probably one of the wildest nights of my entire life,” the 30-year-old tells E! News in his first interview since the scandal. Following a day of drinking by the bar, Jackson and Olympios, 24, took things to another level in the pool. Production of the show’s fourth season was shut down days later, with the cast being sent home from Mexico as Warner Bros. launched an internal investigation as to what transpired on set.
