Mar. 23—ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Police say a domestic dispute turned deadly overnight when a man showed up at a southwest Albuquerque residence apparently in violation of a restraining order.

That man was found dead, although the Albuquerque Police Department didn't immediately reveal how he was killed. The incident happened at 94th and Tower.

Sgt. Tanner Tixier, an APD spokesman, said in a news release that a 15-year-old was transported to the hospital with a hand injury but is expected to survive.

"Initial information into 911 indicated that the female caller had a restraining order against the male, who was at the residence," Tixier said.

He said additional information would be provided as it becomes available.

  • Scottish parliamentary committee says it was misled by First Minister Sturgeon

    A Scottish parliamentary committee said on Tuesday First Minister Nicola Sturgeon had misled it over evidence she gave on her handling of sexual harassment complaints, the latest twist in a row that could sink her hopes for an independent Scotland. Sturgeon has been under intense scrutiny over what she did and did not do when she learnt of complaints by several women against her predecessor Alex Salmond - once her close friend and ally in the independence cause, now an implacable enemy. The allegations against Salmond were first made in 2018, but the drama really erupted last month when, in explosive testimony to the committee, he cast doubt on Sturgeon's actions and said her government had acted unlawfully.

Subscribe for freeBetween the lines: Housing inventory in February fell to a record low of 1.03 million units, down by 29.5% year over year — the fastest decline on record.Properties typically sold in 20 days, which was also a record, NAR said, and homes with price tags between $250,000 and $500,000 were on the market for just 14 days.The big picture: Rising mortgage rates are putting housing out of reach for an increasing share of the population, however dwindling supply likely means prices will continue to go up even as the rate of sales in the market declines.What to watch: Even with the housing market's sour turn to start 2021, most real estate economists are expecting it to be a banner year.Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist, says he's forecasting this year's sales to outpace 2020's torrid pace, noting in the organization's press release accompanying the data that even after the pullback in February, "the market is still outperforming pre-pandemic levels."The Mortgage Bankers Association similarly is expecting record mortgage purchase originations at $1.57 trillion this year, a spokesman told me last week.What it means: The housing market is looking a lot like the stock market.While bullish industry analysts like to crow about reopening, vaccines and unleashed reserves, the market is actually being driven by wealthy investors who see few alternatives and are increasingly willing to park their cash in real estate as demand for assets with a real return far outpaces the supply, regardless of the price level.Like this article?

  • Earn $500 in Monthly Retirement Dividends in 6 Easy Steps

    In today's low-interest-rate environment, retirees are increasingly looking for stock dividends as a source of income to cover their costs. With stock yields often sitting higher than the interest payments on investment grade bonds, such a move can be tempting. Dividend investing comes with a risk, though: Companies can cut their dividends when the going gets tough, and when a company cuts its dividend, its stock often falls as well.

    New York's Department of Financial Services on Tuesday said it concluded its investigation of Apple's credit card and its underwriter Goldman Sachs Group Inc and found no evidence of unlawful discrimination against applicants under the state's fair lending law. New York launched the investigation in late 2019 after a tech entrepreneur alleged on social media that the Apple card's algorithms committed gender bias because he was given a credit limit that was 20 times what his wife received. The investigation included a review of thousands of pages of records submitted by Goldman and Apple, interviews with Apple card applicants and data for roughly 400,0000 Apple card applicants from New York state.

  • Key to how universe works may have been discovered

    The key to understanding how the universe works may have been discovered by scientists at the Large Hadron Collider, in a breakthrough hailed as the most exciting in 20 years. Particle physicists have seen signs that a mystery particle or force is interacting with other particles in a manner never witnessed before. It may explain some of the deepest puzzles in modern physics, such as what dark matter is made from, or why there is an imbalance of matter and antimatter in the universe. Currently, scientists understand the universe using The Standard Model, a theory which describes all the known fundamental particles and the forces that they interact with. It sets out the workings of the building blocks of nature: quarks, leptons, force-carrier particles, and the Higgs boson. But the Standard Model breaks down when it comes to explaining crucial issues such as gravity or why the expansion of the universe is accelerating. It also cannot account for dark matter, an invisible substance which makes up 27 per cent of the mass of the universe and is thought to hold galaxies together.
