For many tourists, Puerto Vallarta is a place to escape everyday life. But for the hundreds of thousands who call the city home, the conversations of recent weeks have centered on something quite different: learning to coexist with wildlife, concerns over public safety, pressure on water infrastructure and the growing pains of a city that continues to evolve. None of these stories defines Puerto Vallarta. Together, however, they paint a picture of a destination that’s also a community, balancing extraordinary popularity with the very real challenges that come with growth.

Dish DBS, the satellite TV and wireless subsidiary of EchoStar, filed for prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 30 in federal court in Houston. The filing ends months of speculation about the future of the industry’s would-be fourth wireless carrier.

Steven Hall, the man behind the Nirosta Steel moniker, is fond of mentioning the notion of “deep play.” It’s a phrase coined by the 18th-century British philosopher Jeremy Bentham that describes a game with impossible odds, one that no sane or rational person would ever sign up for. More than amateurism or religion, “deep play” seems to have been the governing principle of how the musician has navigated his remarkable life.Hall moved to America from Scotland after urging his widowed mother to marry her closest suitor, studied poetry with Allen Ginsberg, Buddhism with the Chögyam Trungpa (the teacher who popularized…
She is concerned, however, that it will be difficult for voters to coalesce around any new candidate in just three months.”The thing I’m the most worried about is we run somebody and he or she loses, and then we spend the next four years pointing fingers at whose fault that was,” she said.In primary contests across the country this year, Democrats regularly opted for outsider congressional candidates offering a vivid vision for what the party should stand for and promising to fight for their beliefs in the face of Republican resistance.Platner was one of the earliest and most prominent examples…
The next step for Morocco is to bring through more senior internationals through the domestic production line.The federation also needs to strengthen club and academy infrastructure.Chris van Puyvelde, who was technical director at the RMFF between 2022 and 2025, said the target by the next World Cup was to have an equal split between Moroccan-born players and those raised elsewhere.But he warned the “total organisation inside the country needs to be better”.There is a delicate balance to strike, given the increasing demand for results, which brings with it the danger of focusing too much on early developers rather than technical…

Investors expected a much simpler economy by now. Inflation was expected to keep easing, consumers were expected to bend under higher prices, and the next big Fed debate was supposed to be about when rate cuts could begin. However, Bank of America isn’t telling that story. The bank sees an economy that still has enough momentum to avoid a classic downturn. According to its mid-year outlook shared with me, spending levels held up, the labor market hasn’t cracked, and growth remains alive and well. Nevertheless, that resilience is not spreading evenly, and that’s the uncomfortable twist. The U.S. economy might…
