UNSTOPPABLE

Sorry, folks, this race is over. Conservative Myra Adams lists the many reasons Hillary will win the White House in 2016—from gross media bias to groupthink and barrels of money.

LAST-DITCH EFFORT

As sit-ins staged by supporters of ousted Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi continue, officials are devising a strategy to end the demonstrations. In televised remarks on Saturday, spokesman for the Interior Ministry Hany Abdel-Latif told protestors their efforts were not helping Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood—and that in fact, they're doing the opposite. "It is your safe and secure departure that will allow the Brotherhood to go back to its role in the political process," Abdel-Latif said. The United States, meanwhile, is stepping up its efforts to return peace to the region, sending Middle East envoy William Burns—the second-ranking U.S. Diplomat— to Cairo.

HONEY HARVEST

Three years after New York legalized beekeeping, hives are everywhere, including on the roof of New York's iconic Waldorf Astoria hotel, where Josh Dzieza helped out with the honey harvest.

SWEET BOTTOM LINE

There's something to be said for regional loyalty. John Henry, who already owns the Boston Red Sox, has now entered into an agreement to buy the city's newspaper, the Boston Globe said Saturday. The paper has been on the market since February. It was put up for sale by The New York Times Company, which bought it in 1993 for $1.1 billion. So what's the current going price for a Boston newspaper? Roughly 70 million dollars—just seven percent or its worth two decades ago. The all-cash sale is expected to close within 30 to 60 days.

DAILY BREAD

Celiacs, rejoice! On Friday, the FDA officially set a standard for gluten-free labeling on food products, responding to a law passed by Congress in 2004. The law called for the FDA to declare how much trace gluten could be found in a product for it to merit the label "gluten-free." That limit is now set at 20 parts per million. The move is mainly intended to help the three million Americans with celiac disease, a condition in which antibodies act on gluten in the digestive system, damaging the small intestine. But with a $4.2 billion market for gluten-free foods—a number that has tripled since 2008—we're guessing it's not just the celiac-afflicted who are relieved.
