ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Steve Norton, who ran the first U.S. gambling facility outside Nevada — Resorts casino in Atlantic City — and gave advice around the world on how to set up and operate casinos, has died. His son, Rob, president of Cordish Gaming, said Norton died Sunday following an accident in his Oceanside, California, home. “Steve was an early and influential gaming executive in Atlantic City and at Resorts,” said the casino's current president, Mark Giannantonio. “He was an important leader in the Atlantic City market dating back to the 1970s. Norton used his experience as an Atlantic City casino pioneer to advise state governments — including in Louisiana, Illinois and Indiana — on how to adopt riverboat gambling, and in 1998 founded his own gambling consultancy company based in Indiana.

Sustainability-linked loans (SLL), which were first used in 2017, offer slightly cheaper borrowing, typically around 2.5-10 basis points less, if companies meet goals such as cutting their carbon emissions or improving board diversity. These let banks strip the sustainability-linked label from the loans if targets are no longer deemed appropriate. The banks' tougher standards are discouraging some borrowers from using SLLs entirely, bankers and lawyers told Reuters. The Engie spokesman said the utility would not agree to linking an event of default to sustainability targets. "We have stated our willingness to walk away when sustainability targets were too soft," said Brittany Agostino, vice president in the environmental, social and governance group at Los Angeles-based Ares.

The precautions many people took to protect themselves from Covid-19, like wearing masks and social distancing, also protected them from strep throat. “Strep throat is a routine infection, and we know that cases are going to go up every year,” she said. If your child’s strep throat doesn’t get better with antibiotics, Bryant says, it may be that other bacteria in the throat are making the antibiotics less effective. “If the strep infection goes untreated, that individual can potentially be contagious with strep for weeks,” she said.

Nov 7 (Reuters) - Gen Digital (GEN.O) beat second-quarter revenue estimates on Tuesday as rising digital threats and hacks drove stable demand for its cybersecurity products, sending the company's shares more than 3% higher before the bell. Growing worries about privacy and cyber attacks have in the past year supported demand for cybersecurity services. Gen Digital, which brings in a large chunk of its revenue from products aimed at consumers, has also leaned on its freemium options to spark demand at a time of high inflation. Gen Digital, whose products also include security solutions like firewalls, narrowed its fiscal year 2024 expectations to a range of $3.81 billion to $3.84 billion, from $3.80 billion to $3.85 billion previously. Annual earnings per share is expected between $1.95 to $2.00 per share, compared with its earlier forecast of $1.95 to $2.02 per share.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is owning up to a past feud with a fellow action star.

Public transit is a vital force for the American economy. The American Public Transportation Association estimates that 87% of trips directly benefit the local economy, with $1 invested in public transit believed to generate $5 in economic returns. But the state of public transit in the U.S. is declining rapidly as transit across the nation faces a fiscal crisis. "If a transit system doesn't have enough money, we can limit the hour of services and the frequency of service," said Norton.
