▼ + stars: | 2024-04-11 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

New York CNN —Lyft and Uber might hit reverse on plans to leave Minneapolis on May 1 over a new minimum wage for rideshare drivers set to go into effect on that day, if a city council measure passes Thursday. The issue stems from a March decision by the city council to override the mayor’s veto of a minimum wage for rideshare drivers, set at the local minimum wage of $15.57 an hour. The ordinance mandates rideshare drivers make at least $1.40 per mile and $0.51 per minute within Minneapolis. Now some council members want to amend the ordinance and lower the per-mile rate to $1.21, but maintain the proposed per-minute rate of $0.51. With this amendment, we can accomplish those goals.”The statement was released by Council President Elliott Payne and Council Members Katie Cashman and Aurin Chowdhury.

☆ A nuclear plant that leaked 400,000 gallons of radioactive water will be shut down after second incident
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-24 | by ( Erik Ortiz | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

This second leak involved hundreds of gallons of radioactive water, according to the utility company, far less than the 400,000 gallons that was discovered leaking in late November. "I think the general public needs to be informed more about this," Megan Sanborn, 31, who lives 6 miles upstream from the nuclear plant, said. Tritium spills do happen occasionally but are typically contained within a nuclear site, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The incident comes as Xcel Energy is in the midst of seeking an operating license renewal for Monticello. At a town hall meeting over the license on Wednesday, before the latest leak was known publicly, Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials sought to allay residents' fears.

Earlier this year, a man fired three shots in front of a store in the mall, KARE 11 reported.

One of the biggest makers of generic drugs, Israeli-based Teva said it aims eventually to secure a 10% global market share of biosimilars. A division of Novartis (NOVN.S), Sandoz is currently the second biggest player after Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) in the biosimilar market by gross sales globally, per IQVIA data, cited by Sandoz.

The analysis projected the value of the global biosimilar market could more than triple to an estimated $74 billion by 2030. Sandoz and Teva are both working on biosimilars for Humira.

It's time to sell Teva stock as it's facing a period of significant downside amid a phase of uncertainty, according to UBS. However, Teva's development partner Alvotech recently received an observation letter from the FDA that puts the launch date at risk, Verma wrote. Without a drug similar to Humira, there's significant downside to earnings for Teva. Price fixing risk Teva is also facing headline risk from litigation concerning price fixing, according to the note. "The DOJ price fixing case outcome may involve potential debarment from conducting business in the government channel (worse case) and/or cash settlement in the $525m-$595m range," wrote Verma.

JERUSALEM, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (TEVA.TA) will pay up to $523 million to New York State as part of a nationwide settlement of lawsuits alleging the company helped fuel the U.S. opioid epidemic. The settlement with New York adds an additional $300 million to Teva's total opioid payouts. James said the Teva settlement concludes the state's litigation against opioid manufacturers and distributors. Citing "continued foreign exchange headwinds", Teva lowered its 2022 revenue estimate to between $14.8 billion and $15.4 billion from a previously forecast $15 billion to $15.6 billion. Teva expects its two branded drugs, Ajovy to treat migraines and Huntington's disease drug Austedo, to reach a combined $1.4 billion in revenue this year.

▼ + stars: | 2022-10-30 | by ( Alaa Elassar | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —D.H. Peligro, a drummer for punk rock icons the Dead Kennedys and formerly the Red Hot Chili Peppers, died Friday from a head injury, his band announced. “Police on the scene stated that he died from trauma to the head caused by an accidental fall,” a statement from the Dead Kennedys read. He was a drummer for punk rock legends the Dead Kennedys until the band’s breakup in 1986, after which he joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers for some time, CNN affiliate KARE reported. His passion for punk rock and funky music continued with his new band, Peligro, which featured him as a singer and guitarist. Other fellow bandmates and friends, including Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, have also taken to social media with tributes to Peligro.

That spike in demand pushed prices higher, and was exacerbated by the retirement of coal-fired and nuclear plants, in favor of electric generators. Meanwhile, natural gas production has been slow to come back online after waves of shutdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic. Today, the price of natural gas is at levels not seen in more than a decade. The company said the increases are directly related to higher natural gas prices. "For many struggling families, higher prices can mean being forced to choose between heat, food or medication," the association said.

The CEO of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Kare Schultz speaks during a news conference to discuss the company's 2019 outlooks in Tel Aviv, Israel February 19, 2019. REUTERS/Amir Cohen/File PhotoTEL AVIV, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA.TA) expects to finalise an opioid settlement in the United States by year-end and start paying in 2023, its chief executive said on Sunday, while confirming he was unlikely to renew his contract next year. "So, by the end of the year, you should have this clarification that it all comes together and we will start paying next year." Questioning the low share price, Schultz noted that Teva has a price-earnings ratio of about 3.5, whereas a normal rate should be 10. He suggested that the low share price largely stemmed from high debt, which has come down to $20 billion from $34 billion, and the opioid litigation.

☆ Tomm Reviews: „Noul OSHO nu este doar despre fițe, dar și despre mâncare bună”

Ultima vizită a fost „memorabilă”, am mâncat atunci un tenderloin steak și kare de vițel, care au fost absolut dezgustătoare, la fel ca atitudinea chelnerului. Recent, am văzut pe pagina de Instagram a localului că a fost schimbat designul sălii principale, noul look fiind semnat de Evghenii Arutin, un nume cunoscut în oraș. Supa servită la OSHO a fost abia călduță, nu avea textura cremoasă la care mă așteptam. Chelnerul mi-a recomandat să încerc un desert nou care nu a fost introdus deocamdată în meniu.
