Basketball Hall of Famer George Raveling, who influenced Michael Jordan’s Nike deal, dies at 88

Raveling was instrumental in convincing Michael Jordan to sign with Nike, leading to a landmark contract. WASHINGTON D.C., DC — George Raveling, a Hall of Fame basketball coach who played a role in Michael Jordan signing a landmark endorsement deal with Nike, has died. He was 88. Raveling's family said Tuesday in a statement that he had “faced cancer with courage and grace.” “There are no words to fully capture what George meant to his family, friends, colleagues, former players, and assistants — and to the world,” the family statement read. “He will be profoundly missed, yet his aura, energy, divine presence, and timeless wisdom live on in all those he touched and transformed.” Raveling, who was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2015, had a career record of 335-293 from 1972-94 at Washington State, Iowa and Southern California. He had a losing record in his first season at each school before making multiple trips to the NCAA Tournament. His success at those programs landed Raveling on the U.S. Olympic basketball staffs in 1984 and 1988. Jordan was on the 1984 team that won gold at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, and Raveling helped convince him to sign with Nike. He introduced Jordan to Sonny Vaccaro at Nike, which helped lead to a contract that gave Jordan his own brand, made him millions of dollars and changed the athletic apparel industry. Marlon Wayans portrayed Raveling in the 2023 movie “Air” that focused on Nike's courtship of Jordan. Raveling also owned the original copy of the “I Have a Dream” speed by Martin Luther King Jr. He was working security at the 1963 March on Washington in which King delivered one of the most famous speeches in American history. As King was exiting, Raveling saw him and asked if he could have the speech, and the reverend handed it to him. Raveling held on to the copy until 2021, when he donated it to his alma mater, Villanova. He played at Villanova from 1957-60, averaged 12.3 points and 14.6 rebounds over his last two seasons. The Philadelphia Warriors drafted Raveling in the eighth round in 1960, but he didn't play in the NBA. “The finest human being, inspiring mentor, most loyal alum and a thoughtful loving friend,” Jay Wright, who coached Villanova to national championships in 2016 and 2018, posted on X. “Coach Raveling lived his life for others, His heart was restless and kind and now rests In the lord!” Raveling was involved in a serious car crash while coaching USC in 1994, breaking nine ribs, his collarbone and pelvis.

Chloë Grace Moretz and Kate Harrison are married

The couple, who began dating in 2018, confirmed their engagement on New Year's Day. WASHINGTON — Actor Chloë Grace Moretz and model and photographer Kate Harrison are married. The two, who began dating in 2018, got hitched in a private ceremony over the Labor Day weekend. No location was revealed. Both wore gowns by Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton, Moretz in baby blue and Harrison in traditional white. Moretz shared the news on Instagram, and Vogue had followed along on their fashion journey during fittings in Paris for their looks. Moretz, a Louis Vuitton ambassador, thanked Ghesquière and the fashion house as she showed off their designer duds: “Thank you doesn’t even begin to cut it, but, thank you. Your vision made our day all the more meaningful. x” Moretz wore long blue gloves and a matching veil with her look featuring spaghetti straps and a bodice ruffle. Harrison's gown included a bit of sparkle in all-over flowing embroidery. She wore a birdcage veil around her face that went long at the back. Moretz got her start as a child star. She went on to star in “Carrie” and “The Miseducation of Cameron Post.” Harrison has modeled for J. Crew and Topshop. They confirmed their engagement on New Year's Day by showing off their diamond rings, choosing a Victorian vibe for both from Elizabeth Potts at Moon Stone. “We are overwhelmed in a good way,” Moretz told Vogue while sitting in a hair and makeup chair in Paris just before seeing her completed wedding gown and the couple's white after-party looks for the first time. Moretz wore a custom jacket and trousers for the after-party, a white cowboy hat on her head. The ensemble was inspired by a 2019 Louis Vuitton runway look. She explained to Vogue: “I remember seeing the runway version, and it had this cowboy hat, and to (now) see it created to my proportions, it’s just so beautiful. And a little bit of ‘Yee-haw, baby!’” Copyright 2025 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.     

Daylight saving time comes to an end soon. Here’s when clocks ‘fall back’ in 2025

The twice-a-year time change for most U.S. states is coming up in just a few weeks. WASHINGTON — Daylight saving time is coming to an end for 2025 on Nov. 2, the first Sunday in November.  Clocks will "fall back" one hour at 2 a.m. on Nov. 2, granting most people an extra hour of sleep. With the change comes earlier sunrises and nightfall well before 7 p.m. It won't be until March 2026 that we adjust our clocks to "spring ahead" once again.  Frequent measures in Congress have tried to make daylight saving time permanent in order to ditch the practice of changing our clocks twice a year. However, the bills usually die before they ever come close to becoming law.  With little to no progress made on that legislation, Americans will continue to "fall back" in 2025 and "spring forward" next year.  RELATED: Lock the clock: Here's where each state stands on making daylight saving time permanent When do clocks change in 2025? Daylight saving time in 2025 ends on Sunday, Nov. 2 at 2 a.m.  Why was daylight saving time created? The practice has been implemented in some form since World War I when Germany originally introduced it to conserve power and energy by extending daylight hours.  The Standard Time Act in 1918 was the first introduction of daylight saving time to American clocks. The temporary measure, which once held the nickname "war time," lasted from spring to fall and was intended to cut energy costs during World War I. The act is also responsible for the five time zones still in place today. The Department of Transportation was created and given regulatory power over time zones and daylight saving time in 1966. In order to correct confusing and alternating time zones, the Uniform Time Act of 1966 sought a nationwide standard for daylight saving time  from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October.  Few changes have happened since then. Most recently, daylight saving time was extended by a few weeks in 2005 when former President George Bush changed the law. It is now observed from the second Sunday in March until the first Sunday in November. Despite the national observance, Arizona and Hawaii don't observe daylight saving time. Under federal law, states are allowed to opt out of daylight saving time and remain on standard time, but are not allowed to remain on daylight time. The U.S. has previously implemented daylight saving time year-round twice, once in World War II for fuel conservation and once in 1974 as "trial run" during an energy crisis.  The Senate in 2022 unanimously approved a measure that would make daylight saving time permanent across the United States, but it did not advance. President Trump has made several digs at the semiannual changing of clocks, but backed off his call for the Republican Party to eliminate daylight saving time - calling it a “50-50 issue."

Original ‘Harry Potter’ movie star to reprise role in HBO series

An actor from the 'Harry Potter' movie franchise is celebrating his return to the wizarding world after being cast in the TV series remake. WASHINGTON — HBO's upcoming "Harry Potter" television show will include at least one familiar face from the movie franchise.  It was announced on Monday that actor Warwick Davis will return as Hogwarts Professor Filius Flitwick for the HBO series. Davis originated the role for the film franchise. He also starred as Griphook, a goblin who works at Gringotts bank, in several of the films.  Davis is the first, and so far only, actor from the beloved movies confirmed to be appearing in the TV remake.  The HBO show, set to debut in 2027, officially began production in mid-July and shared a first look at newcomer Dominic McLaughlin in his Harry Potter attire. Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout have been cast as Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, respectively. The newcomers were cast as part of an open call led by HBO last year. Warner Bros. Discovery also announced Monday it has cast Elijah Oshin as Dean Thomas, Finn Stephens as Vincent Crabbe, William Nash as Gregory Goyle, Sirine Saba as Professor Pomona Sprout, Richard Durden as Professor Cuthbert Binns, Bríd Brennan as Madam Poppy Pomfrey, and Leigh Gill as Griphook. Davis wrote in an Instagram post that his return feels like "a real homecoming."  "Hogwarts has always held a very special place in my heart. When I first stepped into Professor Flitwick’s robes all those years ago, I could never have imagined the journey this character — and the wizarding world — would take me on," he captioned his post. "Thank you to all the fans who have kept the magic alive — I can’t wait to see you back in the classroom. Here’s to further adventures at Hogwarts." The cast members join John Lithgow, Janet McTeer, Nick Frost, and Paapa Essiedu, who are set to play Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Rubeus Hagrid and Severus Snape. Luke Thallon and Paul Whitehouse also round out the cast in recurring roles as Quirinus Quirrell and Argus Filch. In other "Harry Potter" news, Chris Columbus, who directed the first two "Harry Potter" movies recently told The Times U.K. a reunion with the original cast is "never going to happen" due to book author J.K. Rowling's anti-trans stances. Columbus previously revealed he wanted to make a film adaptation of the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" with the original movie cast, but has since scrapped those plans.  Melissa Hernandez De La Cruz contributed to this report. 

Frontier offers early access to nearly 2 years of unlimited flights for $299

The airline’s latest GoWild! promotion lets travelers use the annual pass immediately, giving them an extra eight months of travel time compared to past offers. WASHINGTON — Frontier Airlines has unveiled its biggest GoWild! All-You-Can-Fly Annual Pass promotion yet, offering travelers limited-time early access to nearly two years of unlimited flights for $299. The discounted pass, normally $599, is available for purchase through Friday, Sept. 5. Unlike previous annual passes, which typically begin the following May, the 2026–2027 GoWild! pass can be used immediately, giving buyers an extra eight months of travel time. “This is our most exciting GoWild! offer yet,” Bobby Schroeter, Frontier’s chief commercial officer said. “We’ve never offered a GoWild!

Seattle Public Schools are fully funded – for now

The State's largest district is patching up it's funding gap with short-term fixes, but uncertain headwinds remain. SEATTLE — Despite threats of deep cuts and school closures, families are returning to Seattle Public Schools (SPS) in this school year to find a balanced budget. The district's $1.25 billion General Fund Operating Budget is intact, and the projected $104 million deficit has been cleared. But the financial picture for the school district remains complex. That's because measures to eliminate the budget deficit are only temporary, and school district leaders acknowledge an ongoing funding gap for next year unless a more permanent fix can be made. To balance the budget, strategies for SPS included taking out a loan with itself to the tune of $17.6 million, by extending a portion of an interfund loan for at least one more year. The district dipped into its "Rainy Day Fund" or Economic Stabilization Account to make ends meet this year, and cuts were made to Central Office budgets and staff. But the biggest uncertainty is funding from the State that makes up the vast majority of the budget. With declining enrollment and economic inflation up year-over-year, the district's largest source of funding is still not known. "The legislature and the Governor have completely failed our kids," said Jake Milstein, who has two children in the district. Milstein is one parent who is satisfied with the fact that the current school year is fully funded. But he, like so many others, has concerns about the future. "Every parent, every teacher, every administrator needs to be going to the Legislature and say 'Fix this next year,'" he said. "That's why we are electing new Seattle school board members right now and keeping the best advocates. Because this matters."

JBLM soldier sentenced for sexually assaulting college student in barracks

A military judge sentenced Pvt. Deron Gordon to over six years in prison for sexually assaulting a college student. JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. — A Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier who sexually assaulted a college student in the barracks in 2024 was sentenced to more than six years in prison Friday. A military judge sentenced Pvt. Deron Gordon, 20, to six years and three months in prison after he pleaded guilty to one specification each of sexual assault, abusive sexual contact and as a principal to indecent recording. Gordon was previously charged with additional crimes, but those were dismissed as part of the plea agreement. Gordon is one of four soldiers who were charged in in connection to the sexual assault of a college student, who is now a commissioned Army officer, in October 2024. When Gordon pleaded guilty, he said that he and another soldier followed the college student into a bedroom after she had been drinking with them. He said she was unstable walking into the room and when they went inside she was on the bed and not responsive. Gordon said he and the other soldier each proceeded to have sex with her and they filmed each other sexually assaulting her on Snapchat. As part of his sentencing, Gordon will be reduced in rank to E-1 and dishonorably discharged from the Army. Gordon will serve the remainder of his sentencing at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Once he is released, Gordon must register as a sex offender. The three other soldiers who were charged in the incident are at different points in the legal process, and their cases are being treated separately. If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, you can call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673. Additional resources are available on the Washington State Department of Health's website. KING 5’s Conner Board contributed to this report.

Teen sentenced in 2023 deadly Metro bus shooting near White Center

In the plea agreement, the teen said he recognized the man from pulling a gun on him on the bus several days prior and was nervous and scared. WHITE CENTER, Wash. — A teenager was sentenced Friday to over 23 years in prison for shooting and killing a man aboard a King County Metro bus near White Center in 2023. King County Judge Brian McDonald sentenced Miguel Rivera Dominguez, 19, to 23 years and 4 months in prison, with credit for time served. Prison time will be followed by three years of community custody. The sentencing comes after Rivera Dominguez pleaded guilty July 3 of first-degree premeditated murder. On Oct. 3, 2023, Rivera Dominguez fired five shots from “point blank range” at the head and neck of Marcel Da'jon Wagner, 21, who appeared to be asleep aboard the bus near Southwest Roxbury Street and 15th Avenue Southwest, according to charging documents. In the plea agreement, Rivera Dominguez said he recognized Wagner from having “pulled a gun” on him on the bus a few days prior. “i was nervous and scared when I saw him on 10/3/23 but he was not threatening me and I was not acting in self-defense,” Rivera Dominguez wrote. There were 15 other passengers on the bus at the time, but none of them were injured in the shooting. Rivera Dominguez, who was 17 at the time of the shooting, fled after the incident and remained at large for a month before he turned himself in. The shooting prompted concerns about safety aboard King County Metro buses. After the shooting, Metro said it would add security to the H Line, expanding transit security officers who patrol buses and transit centers.

Let’s Go Washington launches initiative campaign on trans youth sports, parental rights

Let's Go Washington, the backers of the 2024 initiatives, is looking for signatures again. OLYMPIA, Wash. — Let's Go Washington is back in the initiative game. The organization, founded by Brian Heywood, sponsored several initiatives in 2024 changing state law. Heywood announced Monday signatures are being gathered to submit two initiatives to the 2026 state Legislature or potentially voters. The initiatives relate to parental rights and trans youth athletes. Heywood's organization achieved significant victories last year when voters supported initiatives restricting natural gas use and overturning state laws limiting police pursuits. The state Legislature also passed Let's Go Washington-backed measures banning income taxes and guaranteeing parental rights to access school records. The success came after Heywood invested more than $5 million of his own money into seven initiatives. "Someone has to stand up and fight back. And what I think I've done is given the voice. I've given voice to 1.2 million people who signed at least one of our initiatives," Heywood said. However, the organization faced a setback earlier this year when Gov. Bob Ferguson signed legislation overhauling the "parents bill of rights" initiative.  "It stripped all the parts about parental notification or parental access to information," Heywood said. In response, Let's Go Washington is now gathering signatures for two new campaigns. The first seeks to overturn Ferguson's recent law, restoring their original parental rights initiative. The second would require physicians to assign genders to youth athletes during physicals, prohibiting those considered males from competing against females. "Allowing biological males to compete in girls sports is a blatant, a flagrant violation of Title IX, I would argue, and also extremely unfair to girls who've worked really hard to get in a position to be top athletes," Heywood said. Despite failing to pass initiatives targeting the state's climate law, long-term care savings program, and capital gains tax in 2024, Heywood remains optimistic about his organization's impact.  "Four out of seven, I'm pretty, pretty happy with what we did, and we're not done," he said. If the organization can collect enough signatures by the end of the year, the issues would be submitted to the state Legislature. Lawmakers could either pass the initiatives or let voters decide in November 2026.
