LeBron James and Team USA practiced in London before heading to Paris. In order to facilitate this, Team USA held a basketball showcase to get the team up to speed. Team USA were put through their paces while on the London stretch of its showcase. But Team USA’s all-time Olympic Games top scorer Durant namechecks two NBA MVPs as the players to watch outside of Team USA. Team USA could make it five gold medals in a row with a win in this year’s Olympic Games.

AdvertisementThere are no surgeries or physical rehabilitation plans to address mental health challenges. Phelps has made mental health a huge focus in retirement, trying to help others avoid the feelings he endured. Bartley, who has worked with the USOPC since it created a mental health task force in 2020, said that her main goal over the past four years has been building out the organization’s infrastructure for therapy for mental health needs. Now, there are 15 psychological service providers — meaning those qualified to work on mental health, mental performance or even sleep. What does it mean to make the Olympic Games or not make the Olympic Games?

The NATO official said they had observed “an unprecedented escalation and spread of Russia’s hybrid warfare” over the past six months, which included “physical sabotage” on the supply line of NATO weapons intended for Ukraine. “It is everything from point of production and origin, to storage, to those who are making decisions, to the actual delivery,” the senior NATO official said. Recent high-profile arrests have revealed the ad-hoc, clumsy nature of how the Kremlin’s intelligence operations have evolved since the start of the war in Ukraine. Russia is big enough to have resources to fight a war against Ukraine and also maintain its security operations against European countries… against us. There are people who take part in the war against Ukraine, and then they are rotated to some other region or area.

☆ 'Shadow Stand-Ins': How Workers Secretly Outsource Their Jobs

Related storiesThough Remi recruited people she knew, shadow stand-ins are often sourced from a complex online web of faceless providers. Facebook Groups are a popular forum for recruiting shadow stand-ins, providing a two-sided marketplace where workers and providers can connect to one another. The dustup highlighted a key drawback to shadow stand-ins: While alluring, things can go horribly wrong. "It required a lot of micromanaging," said a backend engineer in Pennsylvania who hired shadow stand-ins to help him juggle multiple jobs. Pay rates for shadow stand-ins are "definitely more than what people earn in their regular payday, that's for sure," he said.

☆ Have private equity's 'Hunger Games' recruiting tactics gone too far?

The on-cycle recruiting process is not easy on these young bankers, who are often already working 80+ hour weeks in their new investment-banking jobs. The conventional wisdom on Wall Street has always been that the most hawkish PE firms walk away with the most impressive candidates. Odyssey doesn't participate in on-cycle recruiting because it prefers to fill positions in what is known as "off-cycle," or the months that follow the initial recruiting process. It all leaves me thinking about the PE recruiting cycles of the future. To be overly cautious, I've already penciled in a calendar reminder for 2025: "Monitor for PE recruiting cycle kickoff."

☆ A Storied Harlem Church Has a New Leader. Its Members Have Questions.

When the Rev. Calvin O. Butts III, who presided over the church for three decades, died two years ago at the age of 73, his legacy was felt both at the level of spiritual inspiration and material advantage. As chairman of the Abyssinian Development Corporation, he delivered roughly $1 billion to residential and commercial projects in Harlem, brought a new high school to the neighborhood and worked to blunt the sharpest edges of gentrification. As former Mayor Michael Bloomberg put it when the pastor died, “Reverend Butts took the idea of building the kingdom of God literally.”Perhaps because of this outsize imprint, the process of naming his successor has been divisive, raising questions among some congregants around transparency and bias and whether the church, with a few thousand members, can sustain its prominence, or even stability. Over the past two years, the search for a new leader has been consuming.

Read previewIn a surprise move that sent shockwaves throughout the junior Wall Street community on Monday, a series of leading private-equity firms kicked off recruiting for lucrative positions that won't start for two more years. The intense rite of passage known as "on-cycle recruiting" left some junior investment bankers scrambling to get in on a flurry of hastily arranged interviews. More than half a dozen industry sources confirmed to Business Insider that associate recruiting started on Monday evening. Last year, some candidates scored offers that surpassed $300,000 in all-in comp (including base salary and bonus), BI previously reported. One person with intimate knowledge of the recruiting process said that other firms that had yet to conduct their own interviews would likely refuse to start recruiting so early.

But if poor water quality persisted, the triathlon would have to be downgraded to a duathlon with no swimming, the organization confirmed. Angelescu said that “significant infrastructure projects” by the city of Paris designed to improve water quality will have a “substantial” impact.

So here's another reason for him to move more firmly into the Trump camp: The US Securities and Exchange Commission, currently run by Biden appointee Gary Gensler, keeps dogging him. Caveats: The last time the SEC went after Musk, Trump was in the White House, and Trump appointee Jay Clayton was running the SEC.
