A Central California woman died from rabies after she was bitten by a bat, officials said Tuesday, in the first fatality from the saliva-passed disease in her county in more than 30 years. Seneng, an art teacher, saw the bat in her classroom and didn't think anything of helping it get on its way, Splotch said. "She found it in her classroom before school started and, being a kind-hearted person, she didn't want to hurt any animals. This rabies death was the first in Fresno County since 1992, according to deputy health officer Dr. Trinidad Solis. "Rabies is 100% preventable if individuals seek medical care right away," Solis told reporters last week, shortly after Seneng's passing.

CNN —Kash Patel, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to run the FBI, was recently informed by the bureau that he had been targeted as part of an Iranian hack, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Members of Trump’s inner circle have been targeted by foreign hackers in recent months. Blanche was the second Trump attorney believed to be targeted by foreign hackers. CNN reported in August that attorney Lindsey Halligan was targeted as part of a separate Iranian hacking effort. In June, Iranian hackers breached the email account of longtime Trump ally Roger Stone and used the account to try to break into a senior Trump campaign official’s email, investigators have said.

Still, Zuckerberg is "keen to play an active role" in Trump's conversations on tech policymaking, a Meta exec told reporters. Elon Musk already has Donald Trump's ear on policy discussions — it sounds like Mark Zuckerberg wants in on that too. However, the Meta CEO and the president-elect have been in contact recently, meeting for dinner last week at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. He added that Zuckerberg wants to be involved in Trump's conversations about tech policymaking. In an interview, the Meta CEO said Trump's reaction to being shot at a Pennsylvania rally this summer was "badass."

☆ Inside the Supreme Court Justices’ Ethics Debate
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-03 | by ( Jodi Kantor | Abbie Vansickle | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

As the summer of 2023 ended, the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court began trading even-more-confidential-than-usual memos, avoiding their standard email list and instead passing paper documents in envelopes to each chambers. Faced with ethics controversies and a plunge in public trust, they were debating rules for their own conduct, according to people familiar with the process. But a New York Times examination found that behind the scenes, the court had divided over whether the justices’ new rules could — or should — ever be enforced. Justice Gorsuch was especially vocal in opposing any enforcement mechanism beyond voluntary compliance, arguing that additional measures could undermine the court. The justices’ strength was their independence, he said, and he vowed to have no part in diminishing it.

Real-estate auctions are a time-honored tradition in Australia, dating back more than 200 years to its days as a British colony. But in times of healthy demand for homes, auctions can deliver benefits for sellers looking to ride out the frenzy. "I don't think the American consumer is ready for auctions yet," says Rob Hahn, the CEO of Decentre Labs, a company he started in 2022 to bring online real-estate auctions to the masses.

At the same time, Intel has refocused much of the company into becoming a foundry, manufacturing processors for other chipmakers. "A lot of the problems recently have been caused by the insistence on the foundry business," Chris Danely, an analyst at Citi Research, told CNBC's "Money Movers" on Monday.

CNN —Defense lawyers for President-elect Donald Trump are using President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter to argue that Trump’s conviction in his Manhattan hush money case should be dismissed. “Yesterday in issuing a 10 year pardon to Hunter Biden that covers any and all crimes whether charged or uncharged, President Biden asserted that his son was ‘selectively, and unfairly prosecuted’ and ‘treated differently,’” Trump lawyers wrote in a motion filed Monday. Trump’s lawyers also want the conviction dismissed, but the DA’s office says it will oppose any effort to toss the case. In addition to the pardon argument, Trump’s attorneys also told the judge that his case should be dismissed given his reelection last month. “Even (Smith) has been forced to concede, by DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel (‘OLC’ ), that President Trump’s status as President-elect mandates dismissal of the unjust prosecutions pending against him,” they wrote.
