CNN —The food you eat may be affecting your body’s ability to fight cancer cells in the colon, according to a new study. The potential culprit: an overabundance of certain omega-6 fatty acids — perhaps from ultraprocessed foods in your diet — that may hinder the anti-inflammatory and tumor-fighting properties of another essential fatty acid, omega-3. Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that is found in corn, peanut, soybean, safflower and sunflower oils, is the most common omega-6 in the US food supply. “It’s a leap to say that omega-6s from ultraprocessed foods are the cause. Many ultraprocessed foods are made with soybean and other vegetable oils that contain higer levels of omega-6 fatty acids.

The news The added Apple Intelligence features — including the infusion of the OpenAI chatbot and new image-generating and editing tools — became available to the public Wednesday in the latest version of the company's mobile operating system, iOS 18.2. To be sure, Apple Intelligence is only available on newer Apple devices, specifically the iPhone 15 Pro and this year's iPhone 16 models. Certain Macs and iPads will have access to the newest AI features as well. "Overall, a staggered rollout of iOS18.2/3/4 Apple Intelligence features makes [iPhone 16/17] cycle different from prior cycles," said the Citi analysts, who reiterated their buy rating on the stock. AI adoption also could boost Apple's high-margin services business if users are willing to pay monthly fees to access additional Apple Intelligence features down the line.

CNN —Macy’s said Wednesday that it has concluded its investigation into an employee who intentionally hid more than $150 million in expenses, and it has tightened its controls to avoid a repeat of the embarrassing problem. The troubled retailer said its investigation revealed a single, unnamed accounting employee—who was responsible for keeping tabs on small package delivery expenses— intentionally entered erroneous accounting accrual figures to hide roughly $151 million of delivery expenses over the course of nearly three years. The questionable expenses were a small fraction of the $4.36 billion in delivery expenses Macy’s recognized between the fourth quarter of 2021 through its most recent period. Macy’s still hasn’t said why the employee hid the expenses. Macy’s (M) stock fell more than 11% in premarket trading after the company reduced its profit forecast.

“The Task Force found that the tragic and shocking events in Butler, Pennsylvania were preventable and should not have happened. The task force said it identified multiple “decision points” that, if handled differently, could have prevented gunman Thomas Crooks from firing eight shots at the Butler rally. The Secret Service also did not give clear guidance to state and local partners about which entity was responsible for securing the area, the task force said. Preexisting issues in leadership and training created an environment in which the specific failures identified above could occur,” the task force wrote. “Further, some of the Secret Service agents in significant advance planning roles did not clearly understand the delineation of their responsibilities.”

“If she wins, it’s the end of seniority,” said a House Democrat who has served decades in Congress. Some powerful committee leaders have already stepped aside amid challenges from relatively younger upstarts. For Democrats, seniority has long played an outsized role in determining whom rank-and-file members selected as their committee leaders. So the once-small CBC prioritized seniority to help some of its members secure committee gavels and ranking member slots. 'It takes experience to do things well'Rep.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday will weigh the fate of an 88-mile railroad project that would transport crude oil in Utah as the justices consider a dispute over whether federal officials conducted a stringent enough environmental review before approving it. It is opposed by Eagle County, Colorado, which claims that it will suffer from downstream effects of the railroad, as well as environmental groups. The federal entity overseeing approval of the project, the Surface Transportation Board (STB), conducted an environmental review and subsequently gave it the green light to commence. The Biden administration has backed the coalition at the Supreme Court in arguing that the STB's review was sufficient. Lawyers for Eagle County said in court papers that the appeals court correctly concluded that the STB had not done a full analysis.
