REUTERS/Lawrence Bryant/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsAug 23 (Reuters) - Privately held steel company Esmark said on Wednesday it would not participate in the purchase process for U.S. Steel Corp (X.N) and respect the position of the United Steel Workers (USW) union, which is supporting Cleveland-Cliffs' (CLF.N) offer. Last week, Esmark made an offer to buy U.S. Steel for $35 per share, or an equity value of $7.8 billion. Esmark's exit leaves Arcelor-Mittal (MT.LU) as the only known potential challenger to Cleveland-Cliffs, which went public with its bid for U.S. Steel earlier in August. However, U.S. Steel last week said its labor agreement with USW does not afford the union the right to veto a sale of the company.

NEW YORK, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Esmark Inc majority owner and chief executive James Bouchard said in an interview on Tuesday that his steel maker, which does not publicly report its earnings, has cash for its $7.8 billion bid for U.S. Steel Corp (X.N) sitting in his bank account. Esmark unveiled its offer on Monday after Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (CLF.N), another steel maker, said on Sunday it had made a $7.3 billion offer for U.S. Steel, which the latter rejected. "I got $10 billion in cash in my bank account," Bouchard said. Bouchard, a former U.S. Steel executive, said Esmark was "the third largest steelmaker in the country", without elaborating with any figures. He subsequently bought back the Esmark name, trademark and intellectual property to create his latest steel maker, which he says generates over $500 million in annual revenue.

It may be a little hard to remember, with all the injuries, career detours and mystifying losses, but there was a time when everything seemed possible for Canadian tennis. Every time a tennis fan looked up, it seemed, another wildly talented or gritty Canadian had made a Grand Slam final. Bianca Andreescu even won one, beating Serena Williams in the 2019 U.S. Open when she was still a teenager, playing with a style so creative she left tennis aesthetes drooling. Lately, with all the bum knees (Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime), stress fractures (Leylah Fernandez) and the mental anguish (Milos Raonic and Andreescu) that so many players struggle with these days, even Fernandez’s improbable run to the 2021 U.S. Open final can feel like it was a long time ago. And then there was a day like Wednesday at Wimbledon, with the rain finally going away long enough for outdoor tennis to happen, for Shapovalov and Raonic to show why there had been so much fuss in the first place.

NHL roundup: Oilers prevail in OT, level series with Kings

Kevin Fiala contributed two assists as he made his playoff debut for Los Angeles after missing the past three weeks with a lower-body injury. The Oilers erased a 3-0 deficit by scoring three straight goals in the second period. After winning both games in Sunrise, the Presidents' Trophy winners will try to clinch the series in Boston on Wednesday night. Florida got goals from Tkachuk and Sam Bennett, with the goal by Bennett Florida's first successful power play of the series. Roope Hintz collected three assists for the Stars, giving him eight points (four goals, four assists) in the series.
Not since the Montreal Canadiens beat the Los Angeles Kings in 1993 has the Stanley Cup been paraded through a Canadian city, an ego-deflating run of failure that has scarred a generation of fans. After winning the Stanley Cup in 1967, Maple Leafs defenceman Larry Hillman allegedly jinxed the team, saying they would not win it again until the club settled a contract dispute and paid him the $2,400 plus interest he believed he was owed. The Maple Leafs' big misfortune is playing in the same division as the Boston Bruins, who this season set NHL records for wins (65) and points (135), and the Tampa Bay Lightning, Stanley Cup finalists for the last three years. These two teams are once again hurdles that must be cleared on the way to a Stanley Cup. When the playoffs open on Monday, the Oilers will be the first of the Canadian teams to hit the ice, hosting the Los Angeles Kings in Game One of their best-of-seven series.

Reilly Smith, Alec Martinez and Chandler Stephenson scored for the Golden Knights (51-22-9, 111 points), who closed the regular season with an eight-game points streak (5-0-3). Liam O'Brien led the Coyotes with a pair of goals and Nick Schmaltz and added a goal and an assist. The Stars, who are looking to win a division title for the first time since the 2015-16 campaign, are atop the division. The Bruins set NHL records for most wins and most points in a single season. Tage Thompson scored his 47th goal of the season for Buffalo, which improved to 8-2-1 over its last 11 games.
Just For You Cafe, the San Francisco joint that inspired "Bob's Burgers," has closed its doors. According to SFGate, the restaurant closed after rising inflation and mounting debt brought the establishment to its knees. In the mid-aughts, "Bob's Burgers" creator Loren Bouchard and writer Nora Smith wandered around San Francisco, searching for inspiration for the setting of their developing cartoon. In an interview with SFGate, Bouchard said he took photos all around San Francisco, but nothing quite matched Just For You. "I looked in the window and saw something big," he told SFGate last year.

Many of the arrivals abandoned plans to seek asylum in the United States, deterred by long processing times and restrictive definitions for asylum, according to aid officials and interviews with asylum seekers. "We want to help asylum seekers stabilize their lives whether in New York City or elsewhere." The Quebec government has said the increase in asylum seekers is straining its capacity to house people and provide basic services. Immigration experts said closing off the border to asylum seekers could push migrants to take even riskier routes.

Microsoft will implement ChatGPT in its existing search engine Bing, while Google announced the launch of an "experimental conversational AI service" named Bard. Martin Bouchard, founder of data center company QScale, told Wired that AI would result in "at least four or five times more computing per search." Insider senior tech correspondent Adam Rogers wrote about how AI-produced search engine responses could produce answers with misinformation or faulty logic that can be harder to detect by searchers.

Yankees right-hander Jameson Taillon (14-5) allowed two runs and seven hits in 7 1/3 innings. Brian Anderson had three hits and scored two runs for the Marlins, and Jacob Stallings hit a two-run single. Casas, who finished 3-for-4, clobbered a two-run homer in the second inning.

Canada is trying to extend the agreement so it applies across the entire land border. The influx could be as simple as pent-up demand following pandemic border restrictions Canada lifted last fall, said University of Ottawa immigration law professor Jamie Chai-Yun Liew. "The Safe Third Country Agreement violates people's rights and needs to be torn up because of that. But also, from a very practical perspective, tearing up the Safe Third Country Agreement would mean that Roxham Road would be closed down."
Hunter Dozier capped the Royals' scoring with an RBI single to make it 13-11 following Ryan O'Hearn's two-run double. Astros 6, Orioles 3 (11 innings)Christian Vazquez's two-run single capped a four-run 11th inning and visiting Houston defeated Baltimore. Jeimer Candelario followed Schoop's RBI single with a run-scoring single of his own. The White Sox's loss allowed the Cleveland Guardians to clinch their first American League Central title since 2018. Yadier Molina had an RBI single for the NL Central-leading Cardinals, who dropped consecutive games to the Dodgers after winning Friday.
