Rashawn Russell faces up to 30 years in prison when sentenced, the Justice Department said in a statement. As part of his plea agreement, Russell will be required to pay restitution in the amount of more than $1.5 million. Russell was an investment banker from July 2018 through November 2021 at a financial institution that was not identified in his indictment.

DENVER (AP) — Washington cornerback Benjamin St-Juste didn't flinch after Brandon Johnson snared Russell Wilson's 50-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass off a double deflection with no time remaining Sunday. Washington rallied from an early 21-3 deficit to take a 35-24 lead, then had to hang on with no time on the clock. The Broncos lost despite scoring touchdowns on their first three drives for the first time since 2010. “This is a resilient team,” Washington's Sam Howell said after throwing for 299 yards and two TDs in his first road start.

☆ Singapore Grand Prix: Red Bull fail to win a race for the first time this year as Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz takes victory

CNN —It has been a while since Red Bull failed to win a Formula One race so the Singapore Grand Prix gave fans some unexpected variety when Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz secured victory in Sunday’s night race. Such has been Red Bull’s dominance, the last time one of their drivers failed to win a race was in November 2022, when Mercedes’ George Russell won the Brazilian Grand Prix. Red Bull’s qualifying struggles opened the door for others on Sunday and it was Sainz who capitalized, claiming victory from pole position to end Red Bull’s hopes of winning every race this year. McLaren’s Lando Norris was second, while Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton was third, finishing over a second behind the Spaniard who celebrated his second win for Ferrari. “We nailed the race,” Sainz told reporters.

New York's 22-16 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills was the most-watched Monday night game since ESPN took over the package in 2006. The Jets have five more prime-time appearances scheduled, but two can be subbed out due to the league's flexible schedule rules. Those are the Nov. 12 "Sunday Night Football” game at Las Vegas on NBC and the Dec. 28 “Thursday Night Football” game at Cleveland on Amazon Prime Video. NBC can't begin to flex Sunday night games until Week 5, meaning the Jets' Oct. 1 game against Kansas City will not be moved.

Unlike many restaurants that work with Uber, Domino's will use its own delivery drivers to get orders to customers. But CFO Sandeep Reddy said the Uber Eats deal should reverse sluggish sales by 2024. Under the deal, Domino's will be listed on the Uber Eats platform, but the pizza deliveries will be made by Domino's. Weiner, who replaced Allison in May 2022, said on Monday's conference call that the Uber Eats deal will bring in new customers.

The statement from attorney Emory Anthony – read by Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis during a news conference Monday afternoon – said the 26-year-old woman never left the Hoover area and acted alone. The statement didn’t indicate where Russell was while a large search for her took place. She returned home on foot about 49 hours later, at around 10:45 p.m., according to Hoover police. Derzis said charges against Russell are possible and his office is discussing the case with the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office. Investigators were supposed to meet with both Russell and Anthony on Monday, but the attorney emailed the statement and asked the chief to read it to the media.

Now 28, Russell is the world's youngest self-made billionaire, according to Forbes, as Luminar competes with major companies like Tesla and Alphabet's Waymo. But self-driving cars aren't exactly commonplace on American roads, meaning Russell and Luminar have a lot of work ahead of them, despite their lofty valuations. How it differs from Tesla's approachElon Musk's Tesla also seeks to popularize self-driving cars, and Musk's approach to the technology is entirely different.

☆ Domino's Pizza misses revenue estimates as higher prices squeeze demand
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-24 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

July 24 (Reuters) - Domino's Pizza (DPZ.N) missed Wall Street estimates for second-quarter revenue on Monday, as elevated delivery fees and higher prices to boost margins hurt demand for its pizzas and chicken wings. Shares of the world's largest pizza chain dropped 4% in premarket trading as Domino's said it saw lower order volumes during the quarter. Higher labor and raw material costs have forced restaurant chains, even the biggest names including McDonald's (MCD.N), to jack up menu prices and delivery fees, which hurt cost-conscious consumers whose budgets are already squeezed by sticky inflation. Domino's U.S. same-store sales rose 0.1% in the second quarter, compared with analysts' estimates of an about 0.2% increase. Domino's total revenue fell 3.8% to $1.02 billion in the three months ended June 18, compared with analysts' estimate of $1.07 billion, according to Refinitiv IBES data.

Mr. Woodward has worked for several Jan. 6 defendants — including one convicted last year of seditious conspiracy — while also representing Walt Nauta, Mr. Trump’s co-defendant in the classified documents case, and several witnesses embroiled in the Trump-related grand jury investigations. Investigators also sought information from him in connection with an inquiry into Mr. Trump’s fund-raising off his false claims of widespread fraud affecting the election. On Thursday, Mr. Russell was asked a series of questions about his interactions with Mr. Trump before the former president’s departure from the White House, according to a person familiar with the appearance.

☆ How to Treat Loneliness With Medicine - The New York Times

“Addressing the crisis of loneliness and isolation is one of our generation’s greatest challenges,” wrote Surgeon General Vivek Murthy in The Times in April, discussing a national framework for rebuilding social connection to combat what he called an “epidemic” of loneliness. If loneliness is an epidemic, how do you treat it? This calls to mind a trip to the pharmacy to pick up a bottle of pills, but treating loneliness the same way doctors treat high cholesterol isn’t exactly the idea here. Even Dr. Cacioppo, who has dedicated her life to studying human connection, including pharmaceutical solutions for loneliness, questions the value of medicalizing it. “We need to be accountable for the well-being of our friends and teammates and others.”Declaring loneliness an epidemic first requires an understanding of what loneliness is and how it works in the brain.

Customers can soon order Domino’s full menu on Uber Eats and Postmates, with a partnership announced Monday that is scheduled to roll out nationwide by the end of the year. And in 2021 Domino’s even gave away $50 million in free food to counter the “surprise fees” from delivery apps. “Other food delivery apps charge customers with hidden city or service fees,” the company said at the time. However, Domino’s employees will still deliver the pizza rather than Uber Eats drivers, Weiner said.

☆ Red Bull can win everything but the gap may be closing

June 19 (Reuters) - Red Bull boss Christian Horner recognised after Sunday's landmark Canadian Grand Prix that his runaway Formula One leaders could win every race this season. "On this venue yes, the gap is shorter... it's inevitable that they are closing, we'd be surprised if that wouldn't be the case," said Horner. If there is an Achilles' Heel in Red Bull's dominance, it is the current dependence on Verstappen for the top step of the podium. Should Verstappen suffer a setback, mechanical or otherwise, the chances of the second Red Bull coming through for the win are looking a lot less certain and rivals are sensing opportunities. Verstappen's last race retirement was in Australia in April 2022 and the last time he was beaten by someone not in a Red Bull was last November, when Mercedes's George Russell won in Brazil.

☆ Evictions are roaring back as landlords raise rent and affordable housing supply stalls
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-17 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +9 min

Eviction filings are more than 50% higher than the pre-pandemic average in some cities. After a lull during the pandemic, eviction filings by landlords have come roaring back, driven by rising rents and a long-running shortage of affordable housing. There was also $46.5 billion in federal Emergency Rental Assistance that helped tenants pay rent and funded other tenant protections. Forty of the state's 62 counties had higher eviction filings in 2022 than before the pandemic, including two where eviction filings more than doubled compared to 2019. But as protections went away, housing prices skyrocketed in Austin, Dallas and elsewhere, leading to a record 270,000 eviction filings statewide in 2022.

June 15 (Reuters) - All state-funded colleges and universities in Texas will have to close their diversity, equity and inclusion offices under a measure signed into law by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Under the Texas law, signed by Abbott on Wednesday, any public college or university that does not certify it is in compliance with the measure would not be able to spend state funds allocated to it. But Paulette Granberry Russell, president of the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, said in a statement that the bill's signature marked a "sad occasion for all students at Texas' public universities." She said all students, regardless of race, benefit from having a diverse student body, and that her organization would not stop working for Texas universities to be increasingly accessible and inclusive.
