☆ A cardiologist explains 1 thing you can do to test your heart health — and simple exercises to improve it

Thanks to cutting-edge wearables and advances in the booming fitness tech industry, it's easier than ever to keep tabs on your heart health in real time. While it can be motivating to measure your health progress with metrics like resting heart rate, the real test is low-tech, Paz said. "For the vast majority of people, you don't need any of this stuff. Once you understand your current fitness level and heart health, you can set yourself small, achievable goals, then try the test again and see exactly how much you've improved. You don't need to run a marathon tomorrow," he said.

"Your resting heart rate tells you so much about your cardiovascular fitness," he told Business Insider. AdvertisementAnywhere from 60 to 100 beats per minute is typically considered a normal resting heart rate, according to Paz. Athletes, especially in endurance sports, can have a resting heart rate as low as 40 beats per minute. How can you improve your resting heart rate? "As you train, your resting heart rate is going to go down," Paz said.

Having a higher VO2 max is good, but more important for health is how the number changes over time. There's a way to use VO2 max to improve heart health and fitness without getting too bogged down in the data. So you have a higher VO2 max, you have a better endurance capacity," Blander said. Men tend to have a slightly higher VO2 max, so an example for an active man could be around 42 mL/kg/min. "If you have higher VO2 max you have a much better chance based on our data analysis to live better, longer, which is amazing," Blander said.

☆ How America’s once great department stores became a dying breed
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-27 | by ( Chris Isidore | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +12 min

But department stores, focused on America’s middle class, are fading. The victims of shifting consumer tastes were not the department stores that anchored the local mall, it was the small, locally owned stores along downtown shopping districts that were closing their doors. And possibly even more than the big box competitors, department stores have suffered from consumers shifting to buying items online rather than in person. The steady closing of the department stores that once served as “anchors” of malls across suburban America has been another nail in the coffin of many malls, hurting the department stores that remained in hollowed-out malls with a fraction of their earlier traffic. Saunders said one of the primary problem for Macy’s is that its holding company, formerly known as Federated Department Stores, spent much of its resources on buying other department store brands, such May’s Department Stores, and Filene’s, rather than investing in the stores its held.

☆ Supreme Court questions opioid liability protections for Sackler family
▼ + stars: | 2023-12-04 | by ( Lawrence Hurley | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

WASHINGTON — Members of the Supreme Court seemed conflicted on Monday over whether to allow the bankruptcy reorganization of opioid maker Purdue Pharma, which includes a provision that protects the Sackler family from liability from future lawsuits. During the oral argument, justices expressed skepticism that a bankruptcy court had legal authority to release the Sacklers from potential legal claims. No Sackler family member has had any involvement in the company since 2019. The company sought bankruptcy protection, but the Sackler family members did not. She added that it would be "an extraordinary thing" if the court allowed the family to "basically subvert" the bankruptcy process.

The conservative majority Supreme Court's ruling came in response to lawsuits by the same group now suing over West Point's policies in federal court in White Plains, New York. The group, Students for Fair Admissions, was founded by affirmative action opponent Edward Blum. The Supreme Court's ruling invalidating race-conscious admissions policies used by Harvard University and the University of North Carolina did not address race in admissions at military academies, which Chief Justice John Roberts said had "potentially distinct interests." Although Black people make up 20.2% of the Army's active duty enlisted personnel, only 11% are officers, the Justice Department said. White people by contrast constitute 51.7% of the Army active duty enlisted corps and 68% of its officers, the Justice Department said.

Bowman—who was forced to change venues to avoid protests—denounced Hamas but defended his opposition to a House resolution that condemned the attacks. Bowman said he voted against the resolution because it didn’t recognize Palestinian victims, according to people who attended the Monday meeting at his White Plains office.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the core PCE price index would climb 0.2%. In the 12 months through August, the so-called core PCE price index increased 3.9%. It was the first time since June 2021 that the annual core PCE price index was below 4.0%. In the 12 months through August, the PCE price index advanced 3.5% after gaining 3.4% in July. Policymakers are focused on the super core price measure as they try to gauge progress in their fight against inflation.

The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked for now a $6 billion bankruptcy settlement by Purdue Pharma that would protect its Sackler family owners from civil lawsuits related to the opioid crisis. The Supreme Court also said it will hear a challenge to the settlement by Purdue, the maker of the opioid OxyContin, by a U.S. Bankruptcy trustee. There were no dissents by any of the court's justices in the order granting the requested hold. The case will be argued in December at the high court.

Unadjusted claims fell by 326 to 257,976 last week. Reuters GraphicsThough the labor market remains tight, last week's drop in claims was likely exaggerated by difficulties adjusting the data for seasonal patterns. The claims data covered the week during which the government surveyed businesses for the nonfarm payrolls component of July's employment report. Claims fell during the June and July survey weeks. At current levels, the so-called continuing claims are low by historical standards, indicating that some laid-off workers are quickly finding work.

Claims, relative to the size of the labor market, are below the 280,000 level that economists say would signal a significant slowdown in job growth. A survey last month showed consumers' views of the labor market more upbeat in June relative to May. Though policymakers viewed the labor market as remaining "very tight," they "anticipated that employment growth would likely slow further." The claims data has no bearing on June's employment report, scheduled for release on Friday.
