It’s Opening Day in Major League Baseball.

The Jays will play the Tigers in Toronto to open the season. First pitch at 3:37 this afternoon. Toronto plays at Comerica Park in Detroit July 19-21st.

Baseball has become the first of the four major sports to have no active players who played in the 1900’s. The last two were Adrian Beltre and Bartolo Colon. Technically, Colon isn’t retired, he’s just not signed, so that could change if someone picks him up.


Wednesday night’s Powerball Jackpot was worth an estimated $768.4 million.

The winning numbers were: 44, 62, 20, 37 and 16. The Powerball was 12. There was at least one winner.


McDonald’s is going to start using artificial intelligence on its drive thru menus.

The system will look at factors such as the weather, time, local events, traffic levels at the restaurant and on nearby roads, historical sales data, currently popular items and even what you’re ordering to optimize menu displays at drive-thru windows. It might, for instance, promote the McFlurry or iced coffees on hot days, or suggest simpler items that are faster for employees to prepare if there’s a long line.

Over a 1,000 locations will be using it within the next three months.
