Jessica Springsteen, daughter of American singer Bruce Springsteen and singer-songwriter Patti Scialfa, has won silver in the equestrian team jumping final in her Olympic debut.
The 29-year-old equestrian rode alongside two teammates, two-time gold medalist McLain Ward and one-time gold medalist Laura Kraut. Springsteen is currently ranked 14th in the world in showjumping. Sweden beat out the United States in a nail-biting jump-off, which occurs when the top two teams are tied — a unique event for an Olympic debut.The Consumer Federal Protection Bureau last week launched an inquiry into what the agency is calling "junk fees in mortgage closing costs." These additional fees, involving home appraisal, title insurance and other services, have spiked in recent years and can add thousands of dollars to the final cost of buying a home.
Retired Maj. Gen. William Anders, the former Apollo 8 astronaut who took the iconic "Earthrise" photo showing the planet as a shadowed blue marble from space in 1968, was killed Friday when the plane he was piloting alone plummeted into the waters off the San Juan Islands in Washington state. He was 90.
