New details emerge in Jose Fernandez's deadly boating accident
A day after 24-year-old Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez was killed in an early morning boating accident, new details of the crash are being made public.

This Dad Made the Coolest Built-In Bunk Beds For His Daughters
If you want to save space, buying bunk beds for your kids is a smart bet. But if you want to save a lot of space, do as this father did and build them yourself. We're beyond impressed with the craftsmanship of one handy dad, who constructed a gorgeous bunk bed, complete with a staircase, crown molding, and built-in bookshelves, for his two young daughters. Even more impressive, the construction project cost just $800 in supplies and only took up roughly 20 inches — less than two feet — of floor space because he fit it into the wall of the spare bedroom. "It makes the room much larger than it would be with regular furniture," he said of his finished product, which featured a full mattress on top

Despite harsh reviews, Trump resists new debate approach
Unmoved by harsh debate reviews, a defiant Donald Trump showed no sign Wednesday of embracing any big changes before his second faceoff with Hillary Clinton, pressing ahead with a strategy focused on speaking directly to his white working-class loyalists across the Midwest.

Bernie Sanders and other key allies, 48 hours after her debate performance that seemed to spark badly needed enthusiasm. Unlike Clinton, Trump is not planning to participate in any mock debates, although he is likely to incorporate what one person described as "tweaks" to his strategy.
