GILROY (CBS SF)   The home of the world-famous Gilroy Garlic Festival was in mourning Monday, wrestling with the raw emotions of a mass shooting that left four dead, including the alleged gunman and a 6-year-old, and a dozen people wounded. Police Chief Scot Smithee told reporters late Sunday night that the gunman armed with an assault-type rifle had evaded security at Christmas Hill Park by using "some sort of tool" to cut through a fence near a creek that borders a parking area.

Officers on the scene shot and killed the suspect within one minute of the shooting, according to police. CBS News has learned he has been identified as Santino William Legan, 19. Local and federal authorities searched Legan's father's house early Monday morning for evidence in the case. CBS News has learned the suspect has been identified as Santino William Legan, 19.

He said a manhunt was underway for the possible accomplice. "We have one suspect that we know is (dead), and some witnesses reporting there may be a second suspect, although we don't know if a second suspect was engaged in any shooting, or in a support role," Smithee told reporters at a late night news conference. An intense search by ATF agents, officers from the San Jose Police Department, the California Highway Patrol and the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of a wooded area near the fair grounds continued in the early morning hours. The shooting had also shattered the community. "I want to express my extreme shock and sadness about what's happened today," Gilroy Mayor Roland Velasco said at the press conference. "I would ask for the thoughts and prayers of the community as our Gilroy police officers continue to investigate this tragic and senseless crime." In a tweet, Gov. Gavin Newsom called the bloodshed "nothing short of horrific" and expressed appreciation for the police response. President Donald Trump tweeted before authorities confirmed the gunman was dead and urged people to "be careful and safe!" 7-Year-Old Survivor On The Shooting Several of the 12 wounded underwent surgery late Sunday and early Monday. A handful of others were treated and released. As of Monday morning, seven remain hospitalized. Santa Clara Valley Medical Center spokeswoman Joy Alexiou said the hospital received seven gunshot wound victims   five came directly from the scene and two were transferred from another hospital. One was discharged Sunday evening. The victims were in varying states of condition, ranging from critical to fair, according Alexiou. At Stanford, spokeswoman Lisa Kim said they have admitted and were treating two gunshot victims. St. Louise Medical Center had a total of six gunshot patients. Three are being treated, two were discharged Sunday evening and one died from gunshot wounds. St. Louise was also treating eight non-gunshot patients who suffered injuries trying to escape the chaotic shooting scene. While the names of the victims had not been released by early Monday, friends and family members took to social media to express their grief. Among them was Christine Ibanez, who mourned the death of 6-year-old Stephen Luciano Romero, who had attended the festival with his mother and grandmother. They were being treated at Valley Medical Center in San Jose but expected to survive. Ibanez's Facebook post read: "RIP little one. This should have never happened. Hug your little ones tightly tonight. Prayers to his family." The merriment at the event   one of the nation's most famous food festivals   ended when the shots rang out at around 5:30 p.m. during an encore by the band Tinman. They were the last musical act on stage as the three-day festival was winding down. Singer Jack van Breen said he saw a man wearing a green shirt and grayish handkerchief around his neck fire into the food area with what looked like an assault rifle. Van Breen and other members of the band dove under the stage. Van Breen told KPIX 5 he heard someone shout, "Why are you doing this?" He said the person responded, "Because I'm really angry." An attendee in the crowd captured video of Van Breen's set when the shooting ensued. * WARNING: Possibly distressing footage* #BREAKING : Video shows moment gunman opens fire on Gilroy garlic festival Sunday evening; 4 people killed (including suspected gunman), 15 others injured. [Warning: Potentially-distressing footage] #GilroyGarlicFestival #GilroyActiveshooter pic.twitter.com/Qiv7GW3j4V   California Brief (@CaliforniaBrief) July 29, 2019 Shawn Viaggi was working near the stage. He said he heard loud pops and then saw bullets hitting the ground. "I called out, 'It's a real gun, let's get out of here,'" Viaggi, who hid under the stage with other members of the crew, told the San Jose Mercury News. Chaos erupted all around the fair grounds as thousands of festival goers scrambled for cover. Evenny Reyes was among those enjoying the day at the festival when the gunfire erupted around 5:30 p.m., turning the peaceful setting to a scene of utter chaos. "We were just leaving and we saw a guy with a bandana wrapped around his leg because he got shot. And there were people on the ground, crying," Reyes told the San Jose Mercury News. "There was a little kid hurt on the ground. People were throwing tables and cutting fences to get out." "It started going for five minutes, maybe three," she continued. "It was like the movies   everyone was crying, people were screaming." KPIX 5 spoke with Lex Delaherran, who said he may have been hit by shrapnel. "What happened is I was standing there walking away, I was two minutes away from the stadium where the gunman was opening fire, and all of the sudden I looked at the skies because I'm thinking it's fireworks, and then there were more shots to follow, and all of the sudden this unknown shrapnel came flying and it struck me in the top of my forehead," Delaherran said.


These people are doing it. Can you? 8 Expenses To Slash Now If You Want To Retire Early If you're wondering, "How much do I need to retire?" the answer depends largely on when you plan to retire. Many retirement calculators start with the assumption that you'll retire at age 65 or 67 and produce a savings goal based on that time frame. But if you plan to retire early, the amount you need to save will be a lot different   as will the strategy you'll have to use to reach that savings goal. To retire in your 30s, 40s or 50s, you might have to make some sacrifices to build a large enough nest egg to sustain you for several decades. Many people who have left the workforce at a relatively young age have had to make some big cuts in their budgets to build their savings faster because they wanted to reach financial independence and retire early . Housing Costs On average, Americans spend more on housing than any other expense, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's why it's the most important expense to cut if you want to retire early, said Sam Dogen, who is the founder of the Financial Samurai blog and retired at the age of 34 after working 13 years in the financial industry. "If you can get your housing expense to be equal to less than 10% of your gross income, you are well on your way to retiring early," said Dogen. Find Out: 13 Surprising Things About Early Retirement You Need To Know Savings From Cutting Housing Costs Dogen, who lives in San Francisco, cut his housing costs 50% by buying a fixer-upper in a less expensive neighborhood. The cheaper house saved him about $4,200 a month   more than $50,000 a year. Dogen turned the more expensive house he had been living in into a rental property. It generated passive income for him for three years until he sold it in 2017 and invested all of the proceeds in stocks, bonds and real estate crowdfunding to boost his early retirement income. Transportation Costs After housing, transportation is the second-biggest expense, on average, for American households. Leif Dahleen discovered that slashing this big expense can easily help free up more money for retirement savings. Dahleen is on track to retire in August 2019 at the age of 43. Related: How To Retire Early Without Sacrificing Everything You Love Savings From Cutting Transportation Costs To cut his transportation costs, Dahleen started driving less and biking more. "I bike to work half of the year, saving hundreds of dollars on gasoline and car maintenance while getting a bit of a workout in twice a day," said the anesthesiologist who is the creator of the blog Physician on FIRE . He could bike throughout more of the year if he didn't have to contend with the snow and ice where he lives in northern Minnesota. Cable TV Costs If you want to save money, you have to cut the cable cord , right? Actually, yes. Dahleen said cable TV is one of the big expenses he has eliminated on his path to early retirement. Cutting this and other nonessential expenses from his budget allows him to save about two-thirds of his income while living on just one-third of his paycheck. Savings From Cutting Cable TV Costs Dahleen has saved about $1,000 a year by ditching cable TV. He does subscribe to an inexpensive internet-based TV service but only at certain times of the year, such as football season. When he's not using the service regularly, he cancels it to avoid wasting money. Find Out: How To Save Money on All Your Monthly Expenses and Bills Dining Out Costs Steve Adcock, the founder of the blog Think Save Retire, spent $500 to $600 a month on restaurant meals before meeting his wife. As a couple, Adcock and his wife dialed back spending to about $200 to $300 a month. But when they decided they wanted to leave corporate America, restaurant meals were one of the big expenses Adcock and his wife decided to cut to save 70% of their income annually and retire at ages 35 and 33, respectively. Don't Want To Give It Up? Waiters Reveal 15 Best Ways To Dine Out on a Budget Savings From Cutting Dining Out Costs To cut restaurant spending, Adcock and his wife only went out once or twice a month, and those meals were only about $10 to $15 a piece, he said. They resisted the urge to eat out by getting creative with the meals they cooked at home. "In fact, we always try to duplicate some of our favorite meals from restaurants," he said. It wasn't just that they reduced their restaurant spending by a couple of hundred dollars a month. Adcock said they put that money to work for them by investing it. "The thing that a lot of people miss with this discussion isn't just the savings. It's the opportunity cost of where you can now put that money," he said. "If you invest it, through the power of compound interest, that adds up to a whole lot more than you were saving." Magazine Subscription Costs The cost of magazine subscriptions pales in comparison to housing, transportation and even cable TV costs. But Adcock found that eliminating small, nonessential expenses , such as his magazine subscriptions, and investing that money instead helped him retire early. Savings From Cutting Magazine Subscription Costs Adcock had several magazine subscriptions that cost him about $150 a year. Although he spent less in a year on those subscriptions than he did in a month on eating out, he realized the expense wasn't worth it. "I'd read the whole magazine in one or two days," he said. "I just couldn't justify the cost while only getting a couple days' enjoyment." Now, he looks for free magazine content online and occasionally gets copies of magazines at used bookstores for just 50 cents. Insurance Costs You don't have to cut out all of the things you enjoy to save enough to retire early. Instead, look for ways to trim big monthly bills such as insurance premiums. By slashing his family's insurance costs by $3,000 a year, Justin McCurry was able to increase his savings and retire at the age of 33. "Lower spending meant we could more easily contribute the maximum to IRAs and 401(k)s," he said. Tips: How I Slashed Auto Insurance Costs by Nearly $400 Savings From Cutting Insurance Costs McCurry was able to reduce his insurance premiums by opting for higher deductibles. For example, his homeowners insurance has a $2,500 deductible instead of the standard $500. "Going with higher deductibles saves us hundreds of dollars each year," said McCurry, who blogs about early retirement at Root of Good . He also saves by self-insuring against some losses. For example, he dropped comprehensive and collision coverage from his auto insurance   which means he would have to pay for a new car if his vehicle is damaged or stolen. And he skips optional insurance such as extended warranties and trip cancellation insurance for vacation rentals. "Over a decade, our low-insurance consumption saved us around $30,000 with very few uninsured costs even after a decade," he said. Clothing Costs Clothing is a necessity, but that doesn't mean you necessarily have to spend a lot on your wardrobe   or anything at all. At least that's what Angela Rozmyn has discovered as part of an effort to simplify her life and reach financial independence to retire early in about 10 years. The 31-year-old hasn't bought any clothing for herself in the past two years. Savings From Cutting Clothing Costs Rozmyn said she wasn't a big spender, but she spent at least $1,000 a year on clothing before instituting a ban on buying clothing in early 2017. However, she has saved even more than that, "because I've also become more conscious of the money I'm spending on new clothes and shoes for my son, and almost everything he wears these days are either hand-me-downs or purchases from the thrift store," Rozmyn said. Although she expects to buy new clothing when the items she has start to wear out, she plans to be more careful about how much she spends and what she buys. "I'm certain this ban will have saved me thousands of dollars over the years," Rozmyn said. Keep Saving: 20 Savings Hacks at Marshalls, T.J.Maxx and Ross Nonessential Costs In an effort to save more money to reach financial independence, Rozmyn started tracking everything she spent in November 2017. The goal was to have as many days as possible where she spent absolutely nothing. "We ended up saving so much more money than a typical month that I had to triple check that I'd actually paid our mortgage because it seemed like we had too much money left in our checking account at the end of the month," she said. Savings From Having No-Spend Days Making an effort to have days where she doesn't spend anything has paid off for Rozmyn. She has kept herself accountable by publishing a spending update each month on her blog, Tread Lightly, Retire Early . And she and her husband have watched as the savings have added up. "Tracking every dollar spent has made all the difference to our savings," she said. "We doubled our savings rate from 23% in 2017 to 46% in 2018, with hopes to hit 50% this year."

If you weren't paying attention to the stock market before Monday, you are now. A 1,000-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average will do that. As the financial blogger Ben Carlson pointed out this past weekend, sharp drops in the market transfix our attention, with short-term losses overshadowing our awareness of longer-term gains. Crimson arrows pointing down, pundits shrieking on financial television, stock-market charts flickering like monitors in a hospital emergency room: all these indicators make what is happening in the short term seem perfectly clear. But if you form long-term investing plans based on them, you will be sorry. Being acutely sensitive to bad or potentially bad outcomes has probably helped the human species survive and thrive. So it's no wonder that when people process data, they suffer from what economists Kip Viscusi and Richard Zeckhauser call "denominator blindness" the tendency to focus on the top of the fraction, not the bottom or the magnitude of bad outcomes, not on the total number of events from which those outcomes are drawn. Experiments have shown, for instance, that people believe cancer is riskier when they are told that it kills "1,286 out of 10,000 people" than when they hear that it kills "24.14 out of 100 people." Hearing "1,286" immediately brings a large number of victims to mind, while "24.14" is simply a much smaller number. To notice that the first number is less than 13%, while the second is more than 24%, you have to focus on the denominators of the fractions and do some quick division. But your emotions will likely hijack your brain long before you get to that point. Ask almost any investor if the stock market is more volatile than it used to be, and you will hear a resounding "yes." That's because the Dow routinely moves up or down at least 100 points in a day a round number that sounds large and important. But, even after the recent spike in volatility, the market has fluctuated far less sharply in the last three years than has been typical in the past. And even after the market's recent haircut, 100 points is only about a 0.6% change in the Dow.A 1,000-point move, on the other hand, is a full 6.6% decline. But how significant is it, and what should you do about it? Stocks are still not cheap. The best guide we have to the valuation of the stock market the 10-year average "cyclically adjusted price/earnings ratio" or CAPE, popularized by Yale University economist Robert Shiller says U.S. stocks are still above their historical average. On Aug. 4, stocks were selling at a CAPE of 26.4 times, about 50% higher than their average since 1871 and about 10% higher than they've run in the past three decades. At the depth of Monday's drop, stocks were down to 23.6 times far from a bargain based on past levels. But investors who want absolute certainty will be utterly disappointed. To be realistic about the future, you have to recognize the limitations of the past. Historical data might feel as unchanging as an exhibit in a museum, but the financial past is nonstationary. As St. Augustine pointed out more than 1,600 years ago, time is a continuum. Today's returns will be in the market's past results tomorrow, and the "long-term" return changes slightly almost every day as the latest increment or decrement of performance gets averaged into it. So the belief that the long-term average for CAPE of roughly 16 times is the "right" value for the market is dubious, says Prof. Shiller. Because the past is forever in flux, determining the proper level of valuation "is so fuzzy," he says. "It's not a science." The lowest the CAPE ratio got during the financial crisis was 13.3, in March 2009 partly because the 10 years of data on which CAPE is based still included, at that time, the euphoric period of 1999 and 2000. That ratio of 13.3 was barely below the long-term average. So investors who waited for a definitive sign, in 2008 and 2009, that stocks had gotten to bargain levels never got one and missed out on the ensuing bull market. We all long for certainty, some kind of chime or singing telegram that would tell us exactly what to do. After all the drama of the past few days, stocks are a little cheaper than they were before. They could get a lot cheaper still before this is over. But don't let anyone fool you into thinking that history or mathematics can identify some exact entry point at which you can know you're buying back into stocks at a bargain level. The future is uncertain, but so is the past. In order to capture the potentially higher returns that stocks can offer, you have to reconcile yourself to the certainty of horrifying short-term losses. If you can't do that, you shouldn't be in stocks and shouldn't feel any shame about it, either.


We previewed the upcoming offseason's qualifying market for potential free agent hitters earlier Friday. We'll do the same here with pitchers who may become free agents in a few months (bear in mind that possible Dodgers free agents Hyun-Jin Ryu and Kenley Jansen are ineligible because they've both received qualifying offers in the past)… Starters Gerrit Cole , Astros: This is an easy one for the Astros, who acquired Cole from the Pirates entering 2018 and have since gotten elite production from the former No. 1 overall pick. Cole, who will turn 29 in a month, is the only player in the upcoming free agent class with a realistic chance at a $200 million contract. The strikeout-heavy right-hander has notched a 2.87 ERA/3.07 FIP with 12.9 K/9 and 2.33 BB/9 in 150 2/3 innings this season. Stephen Strasburg , Nationals: Another former top pick, Strasburg still has four years and $100 million left on his current contract. However, he'll have to seriously consider opting out at this rate. If Strasburg does opt out, the Nationals will qualify him. Strasburg, a 31-year-old righty, owns a 3.26 ERA/2.93 FIP with 10.75 K/9, 2.18 BB/9 and a 50.9% ground-ball rate through 140 2/3 frames. Madison Bumgarner , Giants: For most of the season, it looked as if the Giants were going to trade Bumgarner, which would have exempted him from a qualifying offer. The club's recent charge up the standings led it to retain the franchise icon at the deadline, however, and it's sure to qualify Bumgarner if it doesn't sign him to an extension before free agency. The left-handed Bumgarner, who turned 30 today, has worked to a 3.74 ERA/3.66 FIP with exemplary strikeout and walk rates (9.02 K/9, 1.87 BB/9) over 139 2/3 innings. Zack Wheeler , Mets: Like Bumgarner, Wheeler looked like a strong trade candidate for most of the season, but he didn't move before the deadline. Barring an extension, the flame-throwing righty, 29, is another qualifying offer waiting to happen. While Wheeler has logged only a 4.45 ERA in 131 1/3 innings this year, he has registered a 3.51 FIP with 9.87 K/9 and 2.33 BB/9. Cole Hamels , Cubs: Hamels has been out for more than a month because of an oblique strain, but he'll be back Saturday. Assuming he picks up where he left off before the injury, a qualifying offer looks clear-cut for the Cubs, who are currently paying Hamels $20 million. When healthy, the soon-to-be 36-year-old Hamels has justified that lofty price tag. The accomplished southpaw has recorded a 2.98 ERA/3.59 FIP, posted 8.76 K/9 against 3.16 BB/9 and put up a 51.1% grounder rate in 99 2/3 frames. Jake Odorizzi & Kyle Gibson , Twins: These are highly debatable cases, but it's inarguable that the two righties have acquitted themselves well for a terrific Twins team this season. Odorizzi, playing his age-29 season, has seen his average fastball velocity rise to a career-high 92.9 mph, helping him to a strong 3.73 ERA/3.92 FIP with a personal-best 9.36 K/9 (against 3.06 BB/9) in 108 2/3 innings. Although Odorizzi has always had difficulty generating ground balls (including this year, having done so at a 32.5% clip), home runs have never really haunted the former Royal and Ray since his career began in 2012. Gibson, who will turn 32 in October, has also clocked an all-time best mean fastball velo   93.4   en route to his top strikeout rate (9.13 per nine, to go with 2.55 walks). Unlike Odorizzi, Gibson has always been solid at inducing grounders. While he has done so 48.2% of the time this year, his home run-to-fly ball rate is sitting at an unappealing 18.4%. Still, Gibson has managed a respectable 4.10 ERA/3.98 FIP over 116 1/3 innings. Relievers Aroldis Chapman , Yankees: In order for Chapman to receive a qualifying offer, he'll have to opt out of the remaining two years and $30 million left on his contract. It's a realistic possibility for the high-velo left-hander, although he'll turn 32 in February and will have to keep in mind that fellow star closer Craig Kimbrel struggled mightily to find a contract in free agency last winter after getting a qualifying offer. However, Kimbrel eventually pulled in a three-year, $43 million guarantee from the Cubs. Chapman has slumped of late, blowing five saves   his most since 2013   in 32 chances. But Chapman has still notched a 2.81 ERA/2.52 FIP with 12.74 K/9 and 4.32 BB/9 in 41 2/3 frames. Will Smith , Giants: Smith joined his teammate Bumgarner in looking as if he'd change uniforms before the deadline for the past few months. The 30-year-old lefty is still in San Francisco with the deadline having come and gone, however, and is likely to land a qualifying offer as a result. Long a quality reliever, Smith has enjoyed one of his most effective seasons this year. He has pitched to a 2.66 ERA/2.73 FIP with 12.74 K/9, 2.09 BB/9 and 26 saves in 28 tries. Dellin Betances , Yankees: Qualifying the four-time All-Star setup man might have looked likely a few months back, but Betances has since missed the entire season because of shoulder and lat injuries. The Yankees expect Betances back before the season concludes, although there may not be enough time for the hard-throwing 31-year-old to make a qualifying-offer case.


These stars ride in style. Big names require big-name cars . Take Batman, for example. Without the Batmobile, whenever the Penguin came calling, he'd be forced to hitch a ride in Alfred's 1986 Ford Taurus. While it would admittedly be less conspicuous, he'd also look pretty pathetic. The Gotham Gazette would probably have a field day. Celebrity cars are no different. The rich and famous want the best vehicles to retain their status and brand. Here's a look at some of the stars' leanest, meanest, rarest cars in the world   and their massive price tags . Lamborghini Aventador Coupe Who loves it? Justin Bieber How much does it cost? $421,145 Pop star Justin Bieber is no stranger to luxury cars. He s owned a Ferrari 458 Italia, a Bugatti Veyron, a leopard-print Audi R8 and a variety of other over-the-top vehicles. The teen dream has a particular propensity for Lamborghinis. He s been linked to at least six different Lambo models, though it is unclear which he still owns and which he has since traded in. The Aventador Coupe is particularly noteworthy as the Canadian singer had it custom-painted a rare matte, aqua color. He evidently thought the paint job was missing something, though. On April 12, 2018, The Sun released pictures of Bieber s blue baby sporting the rather sloppily painted words  Cash Only  on the driver s side door. The tag is suspected to be the work of his artist friend Joe Termini. Take a Peek: A Look Inside the Luxurious Life of Justin Bieber Bugatti Veyron Who loves it? Flo Rida How much does it cost? $1.7 million Bieber isn t the only celeb who loves a Bugatti Veyron. It s a favorite among rappers like Birdman, Lil Wayne and The Game, in part because it is an elite status symbol. As of 2017, only 300 had been sold in the world, making them exceedingly rare   and expensive. Musical artist Flo Rida didn t think his Veyron was unique enough, evidently. In 2012, after having his license suspended due to a DUI, the  Low  singer celebrated getting back behind the wheel by giving his Veyron a major makeover. He had it wrapped in a highly reflective, mirror-like chrome, accented by a matte silver stripe. TopSpeed estimated that the modification boosted the value of the car by approximately $2 million. In 2013, Rida decided to give his car yet another pricey overhaul and had it wrapped in gold chrome instead. It soon became a trending topic on Twitter as most critics found it a garish affront to the natural beauty of the car. Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Who loves it? Ralph Lauren How much does it cost? $40 million Someone surprising is also on the Bugatti bandwagon: Ralph Lauren. The fashion mogul's 1930s, black 57SC Atlantic is far rarer than the Veyron, however. There are only two 57SCs still in existence, one that is in the Mullin Automotive Museum in Los Angeles and one that belongs to Lauren. Its $40 million price tag makes it one of the most expensive celebrity cars of all time. Lauren's roadster isn't just cool to look at, with its unique, tear-drop shaped body, kidney-shaped doors and riveted fins; it's also considered the world's first supercar, meaning a high-performance sports car that is street legal. According to SuperCars.net, "The Type 57SC chassis was the combination of the supercharged 57C engine with the low and short 57S chassis used for racing." In other words, it's powerful. The High Life: 15 Free Perks Only Celebrities Can Get Bentley GT Continental Who loves it? Paris Hilton How much does it cost? 200,000 You can't get more 2008 than Paris Hilton driving around Hollywood in a pink Bentley. That is until you find out that she had the paint job done at West Coast Customs   you know, the guys featured on MTV's "Pimp My Ride." Now that is peak 2000s. You're really just missing Ashton Kutcher popping out of the trunk sporting a trucker hat. The then-27-year-old heiress explained the outrageous paint job to People, saying, "I think when you're a little girl and you have the Barbie Corvette you're like, 'I wish I had a car like this one.' So I think [it's] just being a fan of Barbie for so long." Ferrari LaFerrari Who loves it? Kylie Jenner How much does it cost? $1.4 million The Kardashian-Jenner clan has had some very highly publicized car moments. In 2011, star Kim Kardashian received a $325,000 Ferarri as a wedding gift from Malaysian businessman and fan Jho Low. Federal prosecutors later alleged that the car had been purchased with money stolen from the Malaysian government. She also once got a neon green Lamborghini solely to match her hair color for the night. Sister Khloé Kardashian had her Range Rover wrapped in velvet back in 2015   a decidedly practical choice. And, for her 21st birthday, Kendall Jenner was gifted a Rolls-Royce by a stranger and forgot about the whole thing until someone reminded her later. Must be nice, huh? However, nothing quite compares to the ridiculously over-the-top  push present  the youngest member of the family, Kylie Jenner, received. Before giving birth to daughter Stormi, Jenner s boyfriend, rapper Travis Scott, got her a $1.4 million Ferrari LaFerrari. The car has a maximum 949 horsepower, reaches 124 mph in under 7 seconds and tops out at 217 mph. It s unclear where Jenner will be able to take full advantage of the car s power and speed, but the young billionaire could always have her own racetrack built in the backyard. Limited Edition Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss Who loves it? Kanye West How much does it cost? $1.06 million Rapper, fashion designer and frequently controversial star Kanye West was a fan of luxury cars long before joining the Kardashian-Jenner family. In 2011, he showed up to the Cannes Film Festival in a Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss, one of the rarest cars in the world; there are only 75 of them in existence. The vehicle has a 5.5-liter, supercharged V8 engine, slick silver paint job and no windshield, meaning there is no hiding from the sun   or paparazzi. West has a garage full of other expensive cars, including a Porsche Panamera, Mercedes SLR McLaren and Lamborghini Aventador. And, if you re concerned about how much he s spending, the word is he s good for it. Thanks to his fashion label, Yeezy, he s edging closer to billionaire status . Ferrari Enzo Who loves it? Nicolas Cage How much does it cost? $670,000 Nicolas Cage is known for two things: acting and spending. The star is an eccentric collector, having owned everything from a torture mansion to a dinosaur skull to a pet octopus. But, for all the odd things he s bought, he also has a legitimate eye for luxury. Somewhere in between purchasing nine Rolls-Royces, four yachts, two European castles and, presumably, a solid gold partridge in a pear tree, Cage bought a Ferrari Enzo as well. There are only 400 models in the world, which each boast 650 HP and a V12 engine. In 2009, Cage faced some hard times financially   though he s since bounced back   and was forced to sell off many of his assets. The supercar, unfortunately, got the boot. If only he could have held on to it, the star could have turned a profit. In 2017, according to Car Buzz, a used 2003 Ferrari Enzo was put up for sale for $3.9 million. Aston Martin V12 Vanquish Who loves it? Missy Elliott How much does it cost? $294,950 What do James Bond and rapper Missy Elliott have in common? Well, they re both famous for getting their freak on, for one. But they also have the same taste in cars. Elliott owns an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, the same vehicle driven by Pierce Brosnan s 007 in  Die Another Day.  The music producer seems to be on a mission to own the best luxury cars. In addition to the Aston Martin, Elliot has nabbed a purple Lamborghini Diablo, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Spyker C8 Spyder and 11 other impressive rides. Jaguar E-Type Eagle Speedster Who loves it? Simon Cowell How much does it cost? Approximately $1 million Simon Cowell has made a fortune judging people s talents on shows like  American Idol,   America s Got Talent  and  X Factor.  But all that critiquing takes a lot out of a person. Really, how many times can you berate a 6-year-old playing a discordant rendition of  Hot Cross Buns  on the kazoo? Luckily, Cowell has found his happy place: in the driver s seat of several luxury cars. According to Hot Cars, he owns at least 20 vehicles. None are perhaps more impressive than the extremely rare Jaguar E-Type Eagle Speedster   a 1965 Jaguar restored by Sussex-based company Eagle. Cowell bought the car after seeing it featured on BBC s  Top Gear,  where Jeremy Clarkson described it as the most beautiful thing he d ever seen. Cowell echoed that sentiment in a tweet post-purchase:   I think this may be the most beautiful car in the world. It s made by Eagle. Thank you Henry, Paul and the team.  Vintage Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II Who loves it? Beyoncé How much does it cost? $1 million Some people get gift cards to Outback Steakhouse or nice, sensible sweaters for their 25th birthdays, but megastar Beyoncé is not  some people.  On her big two-five, husband Jay-Z gifted Queen Bey a 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II. The convertible limousine has a sky blue exterior, matching leather interior, navy blue top and white-wall tires. The car was added to the couple s impressive 24-car collection, which includes a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR and Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, according to Hot Cars. What Other Luxuries Does She Like? It Costs Big Money to Be Beyoncé Maybach Exelero Who loves it? Jay-Z How much does it cost? $8 million Beyoncé isn't the only one turning heads as she drives. Jay-Z has the most expensive car in the couple's collection: a rare $8 million Maybach Exelero. The car's unusually long lines and black paint job make it look like a modern-day Batmobile. Fittingly, it sports a twin-turbocharged V12 engine, can go from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 218 mph. If Jay isn't fighting crime in this thing, he's really missing an opportunity. 1955 Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing Coupe Who loves it? Jay Leno How much does it cost? Approximately $2 million In 2010, Jay Leno wrote a piece for Popular Mechanics, detailing his restoration adventure with a vintage Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing Coupe.  It was an old race car that its owners put in a storage container out in the California desert in the late 1970s,  he wrote.  And the Mercedes just sat there for decades. I m only the third owner. And that makes it special.  He went on to describe the car s features lovingly:  The 300SL was ahead of its time, with a tubular space frame, fully independent suspension, a fuel-injected SOHC Six, those cool gullwing doors and a lot of racing history.  Though the price Leno paid for the car is unclear, he could make a bundle on it should he choose to sell. In 2014, a restored 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe sold at auction house Barrett-Jackson for $2,090,000, including a buyer commission fee. It is safe to say that time, inflation and a famous face like Leno s might mean his red beauty would sell for even more. Cars Are Just One Part: The Daily Costs of Living Like a Billionaire Pagani Huayra Who loves it? The Rock How much does it cost? $2.4 million On Instagram, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson often treats followers to heart-warming videos of him joking around with fans while driving his Ford F-150 pickup. Given his exploding net worth , it's a relatively low-key car, even with the custom build. That doesn't mean Johnson doesn't like luxury, however. The wrestler-turned-actor has an impressive lineup of exotic cars, including a Pagani Huayra. Of the car's design, Horacio Pagani said, "Mercedes-AMG has created a truly unique and lightweight engine, a twin turbo with 730 HP and 1000 Nm of torque that perfectly complements the car, giving a feeling that has motivated our research: that of the brute force of an airplane taking off." The car is clearly perfect for The Rock. If anyone is accustomed to "brute force," it's the guy who beat Mick "Mankind" Foley over the head with a chair 11 times at Royal Rumble '99. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Who loves it? Tom Brady How much does it cost? $1.7 million If you re arguably the best quarterback in history and have a chance to buy a Bugatti, which one do you think would be most fitting? The Super Sport, of course! Nothing says  If I retire, the entirety of New England will kill themselves  quite like a supercar that tops out at 151 mph. According to Top Speed, Brady s choice of Bugatti isn t so much about beauty as it is pure power:  With this type of design comes a very short and stubby hood with massive flanks on each side of it to channel airflow up and over its shallow-raked windshield.  Indeed, the Pats star s ride has a completely carbon-fiber exterior which keeps it lightweight, so it can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir Who loves it? Drake How much does it cost? $1.3 million In 2010, singer-rapper Drake plunked down a pile of his  Thank Me Later  money for a Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir. It s an exceedingly rare supercar   only 15 were ever made. It s unclear, though, if the star was drawn to the car s rarity or if he s just a big fan of Halloween. The deep black finish and orange leather interior make it the spookiest-looking vehicle since Scooby s Mystery Machine. Nearly a decade later, it seems like Drake has decided the Sang Noir isn t in  God s Plan.  In November 2018, there were rumors that the singer put the car up for sale anonymously at Ferrari Quebec for about $1.3 million. This wouldn t be the first time that he s tried to unload his ride, either. In May 2014, GT Spirit speculated that the car had been put on the market, but nothing ever came of it. See: The 16 Craziest Things These Billionaires Spend Their Money On Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé Who loves it? Queen Latifah How much does it cost? $370,000 In 2016, Queen Latifah's Mercedes-Benz S63 was stolen from a gas station in Atlanta. Though the car was later recovered with only minor damage to a rear rim and some trash left behind, the star apparently decided it was time to make a change. She upgraded to a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé   a car three times the cost of her old baby. Rolls-Royces are handmade luxury cars, meaning no two cars are exactly the same. Latifah's unique ride is low-slung with a convertible top, shimmering silver paint job and signature Rolls grill. She's evidently enjoying it, too. The actress has been spotted driving the car several places in and around Los Angeles, including Hollywood, where she was bumping Fetty Wap from the sound system. Maserati GranTurismo Who loves it? Britney Spears How much does it cost? $200,000 In 2013, singer Britney Spears released the song "Work B*tch," in which she sings: "You want a Maserati?/You better work b*tch" Poor punctuation aside, it seems the pop star has taken her own advice. Just two years after the song's release, she purchased a Maserati GranTurismo. The Italian supercar has an 8 cylinder 4.7 L V8 engine, sleek body and white paint job. Since buying the car, the performer has been photographed in a black one, too. If Spears is taking cues from her song, the next line goes: "You want a Lamborghini?/Sippin' martinis?" Only time will tell if she plans to get a Lambo, too. Click through to read about more splurges of the filthy rich .

With the PGA Championship now in the rear-view mirror, there's no time to sit still with the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach rapidly approaching. There's a strong field ready to go this week at the newly-renamed Charles Schwab Challenge, where Colonial Country Club remains an annual staple on Tour. It'll be a much different test than Bethpage, with a list of past champions including Kevin Kisner and two-time winner Zach Johnson proving huge distance isn't a must around these parts. Here are my top 20 fantasy picks for the week. 20. Rory Sabbatini Past champion with four career top 10s at Colonial and playing really well of late. 19. Sungaje Im Missed the PGA Championship cut on the number and playing a ton, with just one week off since the Honda Classic in the first week of March. 18. Matthew Fitzpatrick Steady throughout the bag and is 17th in Strokes Gained off-the-tee despite ranking 159th on Tour in driving distance. 17. Billy Horschel Was T-34 in his only prior Colonial start and coming off a solid T-23 at the PGA Championship. 16. Louis Oosthuizen Faded with a Sunday 79 at Bethpage but has had success here, finishing T-5 a year ago. 15. Pat Perez Three career top 10s at Colonial and has been T-12 or better in two of his last three starts this season. 14. Emiliano Grillo Only one missed cut in 15 starts this year and finished solo third at this course last season. 13. Jim Furyk Seven top-10s and a pair of runner-up finishes in 21 starts at Colonial, where he's looking to get back on track after three straight missed cuts. 12. Kevin Kisner The 2017 champ has two additional top-5 finishes in five starts here, where distance isn't the big concern. 11. Bryson DeChambeau Coming off consecutive missed cuts for the first time since June, 2017. 10. Joel Dahmen Just a few weeks removed from runner-up at Quail Hollow and put three good rounds together at Bethpage before a Sunday 79. 9. Ian Poulter Has a pair of top 10s at Colonial and looking good with nine top-25s in 12 starts this season. 8. Francesco Molinari Scrapped his way to a T-48 without his best stuff at Bethpage and should find Colonial more to his liking in his first start here. 7. Tony Finau Has played well here in three prior starts and bounced back with a strong weekend after a rough start at the PGA Championship. 6. Paul Casey Finished T-10 here last year and hung tough for a T-29 finish at Bethpage. Playing well on all sorts of courses this year. 5. Jordan Spieth Won here in 2016 and was runner-up the year after that. Coming off his best start since the 2017 British Open at Bethpage, where he putted the lights out all week. 4. Xander Schauffele Having a profitable month after T-2 at the Masters and T-16 at Bethpage. 3. Rickie Fowler Good course for him and currently holds the second-longest streak on Tour with 21 consecutive cuts made. 2. Jon Rahm He's gone T-5, T-2 in his two prior starts at Colonial and won't waste any time bouncing back from a missed cut at Bethpage. 1. Justin Rose Held off Brooks Koepka to win this thing last year and has played well at every tournament this year other than the Masters. https://compass.pressekompass.net/compasses/golfweek/is-brooks-koepka-the-games-best-golfer-r MORE: Chris Long admits to regular marijuana use during NFL career and explains how he beat tests Jon Gruden excited to see Raiders DT Eddie Vanderdoes this offseason Packers CB Josh Jackson adds muscle, appears poised for second-year jump NBA players discuss behind-the-scenes betting: 'Teammates fight over booray more than anything else, even women' Here's why the Colts signed QB Chad Kelly


Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku is increasingly likely to join the club's pre-season tour this summer after a proposed transfer to Inter continues to stall over the Serie A side's inability to cough up enough cash to make an acceptable offer. Lukaku appears keen to leave United and make the switch to Italy, both realising a personal ambition to play in Serie A and finally linking up with coach Antonio Conte after coming close to doing so at Chelsea back in 2017 just before he arrived at Old Trafford. Gossip in recent weeks has suggested that United have already rejected the idea of a part-exchange deal including Ivan Persic, while the Premier League club are also not thought to be keen on an initial loan arrangement with an obligation to buy at a later date. It looks very much as though a straight cash offer that meets United's valuation - thought to be somewhere in the £65m - £75m range - is the only thing that will do it. Inter, therefore, have a problem. According to The Sun , the 2010 Champions League winners are 'struggling to raise the funds' and are 'not close to being in a position to make a serious bid'. It leaves Lukaku's future rather up in the air. The United squad is due to fly to Australia as soon as Monday for the start of the club's summer tour and the Belgian number nine will have to be on the plane unless there is a sudden and unlikely breakthrough in the transfer talks. Lukaku's agent, Federico Pastorello, didn't paint an optimistic picture earlier this week when he described the proposed move as a 'complicated dream' and warned Inter to hurry up. "What is clear is that if Inter want the player, they will need to get a move on. Inter are seriously trying to sign him, they are all out for him. Goals are not always there to be reached, but it's a declared target. At the moment, it remains a complicated dream," Pastorello said .


While the #Jets are subtracting, the #Patriots are adding: New England is in talks with free agent LB Jamie Collins that would bring the former 2nd round pick back to the team that made him a star. They traded him in 2016, likely bring him back in 2019. - Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) May 15, 2019 Jamie Collins has been an unusually quiet name on the free agent market since the Browns unceremoniously dumped the linebacker in March. Now it appears Collins could be headed back from whence he came. Per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, the New England Patriots are interested in reuniting with Collins. He was the team's second-round draft pick in 2013 and played the first 3.5 years of his career in New England. The Patriots traded Collins to the Browns for a third-round pick in 2016. Collins started all 16 games for Cleveland in 2018 and led the team in tackles, but his inconsistent play and high paycheck made him expendable. His experience in the Patriots defense is a big plus for a team which lost standout Trey Flowers in free agency.

Scroll through Ilana Wiles' Instagram feed, @mommyshorts, and you'll immediately find yourself pulled into a world of cuteness and fun: Disney-princess dresses, pajama hangouts, and floral crowns. It's not that Wiles herself has an affinity for dressing up as Elsa from Frozen (although that's one way to attract an audience); most of the images she posts are of her daughters, Mazzy, 6, and Harlow, 3. And while some of the photos she shares with her 136,000 followers aren't all that different from what millions of other parents post of their children daily, Wiles is not just another proud parent on Instagram. She gets paid to do this. Big brands are noticing the power of Instagram influencers   in this case, moms with large followings   the same way they did when the first wave of "mommy blogs" hit more than a decade ago. Wiles, 41, who lives in New York City, says she has been approached by everyone from McDonald's and Allstate to more niche companies, such as the Land of Nod, for sponsored content. And while she doesn't work with just anyone (she turned down McDonald's), there's no mistaking this is a business, not a hobby. In fact, her @mommyshorts Instagram is just a piece of a larger puzzle   Wiles runs a humorous parenting blog of the same name with about 800,000 unique visitors a month, as well as three other Instagram accounts (@insta2yearold, @averageparentproblems, and @pinkinnyc) for a combined 504,000 followers. "I definitely did [Instagram] on the later side," says Wiles, who began posting in 2013. "I didn't understand why you would post pictures." Then she attended an event for lifestyle bloggers sponsored by Method soap, and everyone was talking about Instagram. "I remember this one person had 14,000 followers, and that blew my mind." Wiles went home and posted an image of Method soap, and so it began. They both love that they get a lot of stuff. I try to actually curb that... I don't want them to feel like they just get presents whenever. Gallery: Celebs who've been parent-shamed on social media (Wonderwall) In order to attract brands, of course, it's necessary to have a sizable following   how much someone makes depends largely on her reach. Emily Frame, a 30-year-old cofounder of the blog Small Fry and its corresponding Instagram account, says that she and her two best friends (who run the website with her) charge a minimum of $200 for sponsored posts that appear only on the blog's social media accounts, and multimedia partnerships can bring in $2,000. But, she says, there are some metrics that decide how much a post is worth. "Some people say it's $100 for every 10,000 followers you have on Instagram," says Frame, who lives outside of Salt Lake City, UT with her husband and sons, Hayes, 5, and Callum, 4. (She's pregnant with her third child.) Small Fry currently has about 64,000 Instagram followers. Not all deals involve a fee, however. It's not uncommon for influencers to accept clothes, toys, even family vacations in exchange for Instagram posts. Karla Quiz, owner of the maternity clothing line James Fox Co. (named after her two daughters, France Fox, 4, and Fair James, 2), says she has charged up to $500 for an image on her Instagram account, but she'll also accept swag in exchange for taking a photo and posting to her roughly 40,000 followers. (She also has a separate account for her clothing business.) "If it's me contacting [a company], I don't charge them," she says. "If it's a large company that I know has the funding, I ask them to pay on top of the product." Quiz, who lives in the Bay Area, started gaining a following organically, after posting photos of her daughters in outfits from big-box stores like the GAP as well as Etsy shops and local boutiques, and tagging retailers. She had just over 500 followers when companies started contacting her directly. As her following grew, Quiz decided to use her background in marketing to expand what had been a hobby into an actual business. Now, she considers herself the founder of two companies: one, a line of caftan-inspired medical gowns (meant to be worn post-labor); the second, a social marketing company that works with companies like Whole Foods, Orbit Baby, and smaller, European brands, such as Eli, a Spanish shoe company. Frame and Wiles both have creative backgrounds as well. Frame is a writer, stylist, and fashion editor. Wiles worked in advertising for 15 years, rising the ranks to creative director before moving into the blog space. "I think because I have an ad background, I like coming up with creative ways to promote things that won't put off my readers," says Wiles. "It's a skill set I had baked in." All three women stress the importance of choosing the right brands and partners to work with   tag too many products, or come off as overly promotional, and readers will be turned off. Part of getting that authentic feeling, however, is having their kids in the images   a request that's sometimes a specific ask from brands. "There's definitely a huge market for that more organic feeling in the photograph," says Frame. "If it's something [Small Fry's founders] are willing to do and it's worth our time, we'll talk to our kids about it. If they are into it, great. If not, we have a lot of models, and their parents will bring them to the shoot. We are never short on models." Small Fry doesn't use an agency; the "models" are children volunteered by their parents, and Frame says they are compensated according to the type of sponsorship. Frame's unapologetic about taking payment for photos. "It takes time. It takes talent. Maybe that's one of the unfair qualities of being a woman who works   people assume you should do it out of the goodness of your heart. Nobody would expect a man to do that. There are companies that think you should just want a T-shirt, and that's all you need to do a two-hour photo shoot and edit the photos and edit the content and push it on your social media." That's one of the unfair qualities of being a woman who works   people assume you should do it out of the goodness of your heart. Wiles is up-front with brands about what she can deliver. "Whenever I write a contract, it's always saying, 'I'll get what I can.' I can't promise something if it's with the kids   they might not want to use the brand," she explains. "If it's clothing, then you know, if they like the clothes, then they wear them, and I'm taking photos of them anyway, and I can pull that off." Her daughters might not fully understand what their mom does for a living, but they do like the perks. "They both love that they get a lot of stuff," says Wiles. "I try to actually curb that kind of stuff. I don't want them to feel like they just get presents whenever. There was one site that wanted me to review a whole bunch of dollhouses with the kids. They were going to send us five dollhouses. I was like, 'No, I can't do that. I can't give my daughter five dollhouses.'" France, Quiz's oldest daughter, is also starting to understand the business side of all those pictures her mom is taking. "She'll get shoes in the mail, and I'll put them in her shoe bin, and she'll go, 'Mommy, these are new. Did you and Poppy buy them, or did somebody send them in the mail for a photo?'" she says. Quiz adds that her husband, who works in the tech industry, is okay with her posting images of the girls online, in part because they get so many free things, including expensive European kids' clothes. "I really like unique clothing and things for my kids, and I don't think my husband would allow me to buy $100 or $150 shoes for my kids," she says. "He'd be like, 'Heck no, go to Target!' [I'm happy] they get to dress the way they like to be dressed." Davey's Ice Cream."/> All three women say they never force their children to pose for photos. But posting images of kids without their consent, or when they are too young to fully understand what the world is seeing, has the potential to pose problems in the future. In March, the Daily Telegraph reported that French parents could eventually face fines and even jail time for posting photos of their children on social networks. France's privacy laws are very strict, and it's illegal to publicize "intimate details of the private lives of others"   including one's own children   without consent. The concern is that as the first generation of social media babies grows into adults, they could sue their parents for infringing on their right to privacy. Laws in the U.S. are more lax, but it does beg the question: Do parents have the right to share their children's lives online, when their kids are too young to agree? "I do think as the kids are getting older, I'm becoming more protective and conscious about what it is I'm putting out there for them," says Wiles. "It definitely gets harder. There are a lot of subjects I feel like I can't write about. I don't want them to be mad when they read about it later." For instance, in February, Wiles posted a photo of her younger daughter on a toilet with the caption, "Only a parent would think a holiday is the perfect opportunity for potty training..." The image is innocent enough, but it's hard not to think that, down the road, the toddler in the image will wish it hadn't been shared publicly. Ask how much sharing about your kids is too much, and you're likely to get different answers. A year ago, Heather Armstrong, the so-called "Queen of the Mommy Bloggers " who shared intimate details of her life on the blog Dooce for 13 years, wrote a farewell post announcing she was moving away from her highly successful blog to begin a new site, partly because she started to dislike involving her kids in her work. In an interview with the Guardian , Armstrong described feeling increasingly dependent on advertisers, and less in control of her own content. "At the beginning it was, 'We're just gonna put the logo at the end of the post...' And then it was, 'Well, actually, we need you to show pictures of the product.' And then it was, 'We need your kids involved in the post,'" she said. Armstrong hit her limit when her daughters didn't want to go to a sponsored event, and she found herself begging them to play along. "I cannot be that person anymore," she said. The brutally honest and often messy version of mom blogs has transitioned into a prettier, polished version of life with kids, largely thanks to social media and a worldwide trend toward curating the perfect online life. The reality is that those bright, perfected images perform better on Instagram, for the most part. "People sometimes are like, 'I want to see the real stuff,'" says Quiz. "And I'm like, 'Really, you don't want to see my kids' boogers.'" Many of the people commenting on Wiles' posts are talking about how cute the girls look, asking where they can buy something in the image, or sharing stories from their own lives in a show of solidarity. But occasionally, certain topics become divisive   and when that happens, prepare for the nasty comments. "At one point, I was talking about sleep training, and I definitely got negativity there," says Wiles. "That was mom judgment… But I felt strongly that that was the right thing for my kids. If you don't like it, that's fine." For now, Frame says the benefits of posting on Instagram and blogging far outweigh the few potential negatives. "It's kind of a dream gig to be able to stay at home and get paid to do it," she says. "I can be a stay-at-home mom, and I get to be creative." It's kind of a dream gig to be able to stay at home and get paid to do it. Quiz echoes that sentiment. "I saw an outlet   like, Hey, these people can really profit at home, be with their kids, and do something outside of motherhood. I left my job and quickly realized that just being a mom (and there's nothing wrong with that), it was seriously not enough for me, personally. I just kind of felt lost in that world." But not every Instagram-mom influencer is doing it for the stay-at-home perks; in some ways, the demands can be just as much as those of a full-time office job. Wiles, for one, is open about the fact that she had a full-time nanny when she was a creative director   and she still has one now. "There is a misconception [that] people who are really successful at this are just writing blog posts at nap time and juggling both really well," says Wiles. "I could never have pulled off what I did if I was taking care of kids 24 hours of the day." That success doesn't hinge on her daughters' involvement, notes Wiles. "If [my daughter] doesn't want me to post pictures or whatever, I think I can figure out a way to have a blog, and speak my mind, without it having as much to do with her." But she's not expecting that day to come anytime soon (or ever), and the other Instagram moms agree. Generation Z will be the first to have their entire lives, from birth, documented on social media (if their parents choose to do so). This is true even for the majority of Instagram users   who don't receive payments for posting images of their kids eating breakfast in their pajamas, or running around the local playground. What may seem potentially invasive now will likely continue to slide into "normal" and perhaps even feel passé by the time today's toddlers are getting their driver's licenses. "I talk in a mom group with other influencers, and they are like, 'We are the first generation to really do this,'" says Frame. "Our kids are going to be the guinea pigs. Like, what happens ?"


World Cup soccer champs to get hero's welcome in NYC The United States women's national team will get a ticker-tape parade up lower Manhattan on Wednesday in honor of their record-breaking World Cup win. It's the city's first ticker-tape parade since the women's team won the 2015 Cup. The procession will move up the Canyon of Heroes, a section of Broadway between the Battery and City Hall. Afterward, the team will fly to Los Angeles to attend the ESPYs on Wednesday night. The U.S. won its fourth World Cup title Sunday with a 2-0 win over the Netherlands . Alaska may slash money to universities The University of Alaska could lay off more than 1,000 employees and cut dozens of programs , thanks to a dramatic slash in money it gets from the state. Alaskan oil production and worldwide oil prices have declined in recent years, so the state has used billions in savings to balance its budget. Higher education observers have been watching the fight in Alaska closely as activists have warned the cuts could send Alaska's brightest students out of state for college . University officials, who say the $130 million cut could prove disastrous for the state's future, have pleaded with the Legislature to override the veto in a vote Wednesday but say they have little hope that will happen. Say goodbye to the Volkswagen Beetle The very last Volkswagen Beetle is rolling off the assembly line as the company marks the end of production for the iconic car Wednesday at its plant in Puebla, Mexico. The end of the Beetle comes at a turning point for Volkswagen as it rebounds from a scandal over cars rigged to cheat on diesel emissions tests. The company is now gearing up for mass production of the battery-driven compact ID.3 , a car that the company predicts will have an impact like that of the Beetle and the Golf by bringing electric mobility to a mass market. Funeral set for Lee Iacocca, auto executive and TV pitchman Funeral services will be held Wednesday in Michigan for Lee Iacocca, the legendary auto executive who died last week at age 94. Iacocca rose to prominence at Ford in the 1960s, where he led development of the Mustang. Then as CEO of Chrysler, he saved the automaker from bankruptcy by securing federal loan guarantees. During the height of his career in the 1980s, Iacocca was arguably the most popular business figure in the world, thanks in part to a string of iconic TV commercials for Chrysler . A funeral mass for Iacocca will be held at 11 a.m. in Bloomfield Hills, followed by burial in Troy. Athletes and celebrities assemble in L.A. for the ESPYs Who says there's no sports on the day after the MLB All-Star Game ? In addition to quarterfinal U.S. Open Cup soccer action and four WNBA games, the ESPY Awards will be held Wednesday night in Los Angeles. Two recent champions   the Toronto Raptors and the U.S. women's national soccer team   are among the nominees for the coveted "Best Team" award. The ESPYS   which will be hosted by comedian Tracy Morgan   will air on ABC at 8 p.m. ET . Prefer to listen? Check out the 5 things podcast .
