CNN —Louisiana State University women’s basketball head coach Kim Mulkey ripped the Washington Post on Saturday over what she describes as a “hit piece” in which she has threatened legal action if published. “I’ve hired the best defamation law firm in the country, and I will sue the Washington Post if they publish a false story about me.

Arms Race: What Travelers Can Expect in 2024 At the start of what promises to be a very busy year, we look ahead at what you’re likely to encounter. With 2023 in the rearview mirror, we look ahead at what travelers will face in 2024. At United Airlines, for example, smarter software can offer rebooking options and issue food and lodging vouchers when a flight is canceled, rather than just rebooking a flight. United Airlines has suspended its flights indefinitely, said Josh Freed, a United spokesman. This year, travelers are expected to choose faraway places and board small ships, according to Virtuoso, the consortium of luxury travel agencies.

The fees are partially used by the companies to run loyalty programs that award points to cardholders that can be redeemed for things like flights and hotels. The act proposes allowing retailers to choose a cheaper system that would reduce the fees. “This has been one of the biggest lobbying battles of all time, pitting two huge industries, retail versus banking,” said Brian Kelly, the founder of the Points Guy, a travel site that helps users maximize reward points and opposes the act. Does the legislation threaten your points? Not immediately, said Leigh Rowan of Savanti Travel, a personal travel management service.

This Saturday, LSU hosts Arkansas, the team for which Brooks played three seasons before transferring to LSU in 2022. Political Cartoons View All 1169 Images“Greg continues to fight and we await further clarity on the extent of that battle,” the Brooks family announcement said.

☆ California's high-speed rail is running out of money, but progress has been made
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( Jeniece Pettitt | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The latest estimates from the California High-Speed Rail Authority suggest it will cost between $88 billion and $128 billion to complete the entire system from LA to San Francisco. The project has spent $9.8 billion so far, according to Brian Kelly, CEO of the California High-Speed Rail Authority. "One of the biggest hurdles clearly is funding," said Toks Omishakin, secretary of the California State Transportation Agency. The 2021 bipartisan infrastructure bill did allocate $66 billion for rail, but much of that will go to Amtrak and money was not specifically set aside for California's high-speed rail. And then this is the ultimate high-speed rail."
