While laces let you adjust the fit of your shoe, fussing with them adds one more step to your daily routine, and sometimes, they’re just a hassle to deal with. This is especially true if you deal with a medical condition that hinders your ability to tie them quickly. Fortunately, there are tons of cool laceless sneakers on the market that simply require you to slip your feet into them.

Young Jimmy Carter and his friends were walking across a pasture after a day’s farm labor during the Great Depression. As they came to a gate, his companions stood aside and let Carter enter first.

Fed minutes show Wall Street pushed back expected end of balance sheet drawdown
Wall Street's biggest banks have pushed back the expected endgame for the Federal Reserve's ongoing efforts to shrink the size of its balance sheet, according to meeting minutes for the Federal Reserve's most recent policy meeting. Banks told the Fed ahead of the December policy meeting that they saw this process ending in June of this year, a little later than what they had told the Fed ahead of the November policy meeting, the minutes of the December Federal Open Market Committee meeting said, recounting a briefing by a New York Fed official responsible for implementing monetary policy. The Fed's most recent meeting, held on Dec. 17-18, saw officials trim their interest rate target range by a quarter percentage point to between 4.25% and 4.5%, cut back expectations of future rate cuts and raise their estimated path for inflation.

US, French troops could secure Syria's northern border, Syrian Kurdish official says
Talks are taking place on whether U.S. and French troops could secure a border zone in northern Syria as part of efforts to defuse conflict between Turkey and Western-backed Kurdish Syrian forces, a senior Syrian Kurdish official said. Ankara has warned that it will carry out a cross-border offensive into northeastern Syria against the Kurdish YPG militia if the group does not meet Turkish demands. Turkey regards the YPG, which spearheads the U.S.-allied Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), as a terrorist group linked to Kurdish PKK militants who for 40 years have waged an insurgency against the Turkish state.

A second oil and gas lease sale for Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge draws no bids
The U.S. Interior Department on Wednesday said no bids were submitted for this week's oil and gas lease sale in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge — a sale the state has challenged as too restrictive and at odds with a 2017 law aimed at opening the refuge's sweeping coastal plan to exploration and development. Interior Acting Deputy Secretary Laura Daniel-Davis said the lack of interest by oil companies in pursuing leases in the refuge's coastal plain “reflects what we and they have known all along – there are some places too special and sacred to put at risk with oil and gas drilling.” “The oil and gas industry is sitting on millions of acres of undeveloped leases elsewhere; we’d suggest that’s a prudent place to start, rather than engage further in speculative leasing in one of the most spectacular places in the world,” she said in a statement.
