☆ 5 things the Supreme Court will take into account in medication abortion case
  + stars: | 2023-04-12 | by ( Ariane De Vogue | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +10 min
CNN —As the Supreme Court prepares for yet another controversial abortion case to come its way, the justices will pore over District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s ruling last week to block the government’s approval of the key medication abortion drug at issue. “There are serious questions on whether the Supreme Court is willing to endorse the district’s court’s very broad approach to those questions,” he said. As he often does, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote separately last June to explain his thinking in voting to overturn Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court might also take issue with the relief that Kacsmaryk ordered. None other than the liberals on the Supreme Court who dissented in Dobbs.

Leaked Pentagon documents highlighted concerns about the Joint Direct Attack Munition weapon. The American-made bomb kit used by Ukraine may have been hamstrung by Russian jammers. One document in particular highlights concerns about US-made bomb kits which have been sent to Ukraine in recent months. One factor is the bomb fuses aren't arming at their release, which Ukraine's air force has worked to fix.

☆ Blockbuster pushed HBO to start investing in original content, cable giant's ex-chief says
  + stars: | 2023-04-05 | by ( Alex Sherman | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
What's less known is it was also the catalyst for HBO's pivot toward original programming, according to former HBO and Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes. HBO, at the time led by Michael Fuchs, decided the answer was original programming. Source: HBO | YouTubeEven after "The Sopranos" debuted, HBO still faced a dilemma over how much to invest in original shows. HBO's TV schedule was always shifting, based on the length of feature films. Had HBO's early investments in original programming not hit, Bewkes acknowledged he's not sure what HBO would have done to fight off Blockbuster.
☆ The Masters were caddied by only Black men for nearly 50 years
  + stars: | 2023-04-05 | by ( Jack Bantock | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +14 min
Located just three miles from The Masters venue, the historically Black district lay adjacent to Augusta Country Club. Eventually, many would hop across Rae’s Creek to begin work at Augusta National. A “good bag” at Augusta National would pay up to $5, Maben said, offering $20 for a particularly lucrative day’s labor. The 1983 Masters saw the first White caddies walk the greens at the major, with just 19 Black caddies on the bag, Clayton said. This year, the Lucy Craft Laney Museum will put the legacy of Augusta’s Black caddies – quite literally – center stage.

☆ Multi-strat hedge funds like Citadel and Millennium are the new big banks
  + stars: | 2023-03-22 | by ( Dan Defrancesco | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
There's an old saying on Wall Street: You can only leave Goldman Sachs once. Insider's Alex Morrell has a fascinating look at how Goldman Sachs' top executives have headed to some of the top hedge funds in the world in recent years. Poaching talent is a longstanding tradition on Wall Street, and the path from the investment banks to the buy side is a well-worn one. It's an indication of the shifting tides on Wall Street between the firms that traditionally held all the power (big banks) and the ones usurping them (multi-strat hedge funds).

A 25-year-old built a tiny home using skills learned from YouTube videos after losing his job. Jacob Harrell, 27, told Insider how he built the tiny home in four months for under £5,000 (about $6,000). After being made redundant, he set up a YouTube channel and decided to convert the tiny office into a house. "I'm quite proud of the tiny house – the process of building something with your hands is very rewarding." "The process is complicated because I applied to change the use of land for tourism purposes and to rent out more than one tiny house."
☆ Biden wants $886 billion defense budget with eyes on Ukraine and future wars
  + stars: | 2023-03-13 | by ( Mike Stone | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
The total amount of the 2024 budget proposal is $28 billion more than last year's $858 billion. Congress has passed an annual defense budget for more than 60 years. Biden's budget request also speeds the Department of Defense's pace for buying the stealthy F-35 fighter jet to 83. The 2023 budget request asked for 61 F-35 jets made by Lockheed Martin and Congress increased that number to 77. The budget would benefit the biggest U.S. defense contractors including Lockheed, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman Corp (NOC.N) and General Dynamics Corp (GD.N).

China's Gen Z is out to "rectify" the workplace, and they want their millennial bosses to give in. The Weibo hashtag "The post-2000s generation is rectifying the workplace" is a forum filled with Gen Z rage. The hashtag documents Chinese Gen Z rage in all its varied formsIt is unclear exactly how the hashtag started. At times, the posts on the Gen Z workers' threads devolve into rants about their "evil" millennial bosses. The rumblings from Gen Z, however, stand in stark contrast to narratives about Chinese millennials that have dominated popular culture.
☆ There will be an 'unprecedented spike' in maternal mortality if a Trump-appointed judge bans the abortion pill, Democratic attorneys general argue
  + stars: | 2023-02-14 | by ( Charles R. Davis | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Banning mifepristone will result in more women dying in pregnancy, Democratic attorneys general argued this month. The argument comes as a judge in Texas is considering a ban on the abortion pill. Republican attorneys general who have weighed in on the case also maintain that its approval infringed on state rights. In her brief, James noted that carrying a pregnancy to term poses significantly greater health risks than an early abortion. As Slate's Christina Cautertucci notes, mifepristone is only one of the two drugs used in a typical medication abortion.
☆ From Nike to Nutella: Company names you have probably been mispronouncing your whole life
  + stars: | 2023-02-06 | by ( Hannah Ward-Glenton | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Global company names often get Anglicized or Americanized to the point where they're unrecognizable, but brands could see some benefits if their names are pronounced correctly. Allianz: al-ee-anz"Allianz " is, perhaps unsurprisingly, the German word for "alliance." It isn't pronounced like the ancient Greek herald of the gods, Hermes, unlike the U.K. delivery company of similar spelling. Moët & Chandon: mow-et ey shon-donIn contrast to typical French pronunciation, there is a hard "T" sound at the end of "Moët." Heuer is the last name of the company's founder, Edouard Heuer.

☆ Two years on, Myanmar coup takes a 'catastrophic toll'

REUTERS/StaffJan 31 (Reuters) - Two years after Myanmar's military coup, a young factory worker turned resistance fighter mourns the loss of his leg in battle. The stories of four people reflect a crisis the U.N. special envoy last week warned was taking a "catastrophic toll" on the population. THE TEACHERA middle-school teacher has been living in a Thai border town since fleeing arrest in Myanmar last year. A slight woman with long black hair, she joined the civil disobedience movement (CDM) that sprang up after the coup. Her green and white uniform is safe in Myanmar, she said, neatly stored, in case of her return.
☆ I see this year's budding stock rally signaling a different kind of bull market, one that's not so reliant on just a few stocks
  + stars: | 2023-01-29 | by ( Jim Cramer | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +11 min
This nascent bull market started with the peak in interest rates and the dollar back in the fall and then broadened to include bank and semiconductor stocks in 2023. That's right we created FANG a decade ago this week on "Mad Money," and it was a really good call — until it wasn't. The stability of a market that's based, in part, on the assumption of a JPMorgan (JPM) or an American Express or even a Boeing rallying on earnings, seems tidal to me. That's what's happening as we consider the market to be far bigger than any group of a half-dozen stocks. Yes, I am shredding the cynicism and heralding the new bull market, one that's not ignorant of what ails things, but is benignly rotational.
☆ Why urgent care centers are popping up everywhere
  + stars: | 2023-01-28 | by ( Nathaniel Meyersohn | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
And there are questions about the quality of care at urgent care centers and whether they adequately serve low-income communities. Additionally, passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 spurred an increase in urgent care providers as millions of newly insured Americans sought out health care. Private-equity and venture capital funds also poured billions into deals for urgent care centers, according to data from PitchBook. Equity concernsSome doctors and researchers worry that patients with primary care doctors – and those without – are substituting urgent care visits in place of a primary care provider. There are also concerns about the oversaturation of urgent care centers in higher-income areas that have more consumers with private health care and limited access in medically underserved areas.

A woman, 24, found out she had ovarian cancer after her stomach pain got so bad she went to the ER. Etheridge told SWNS that she "ignored" her pain for months because she didn't know cancer could cause it. Generally, people are diagnosed with ovarian cancer after menopause and it's rare in people younger than 40 to develop the disease, according to the American Cancer Society. "I don't think young women know the symptoms of ovarian cancer," she said. Chemotherapy was 'brutal'Treatment of ovarian cancer depends on the type of cancer and how far it has spread, but includes chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and surgery.

A 23-year-old woman with diabetes faced bouts of nausea and vomiting for two years. The patient's symptoms only stopped when she took hot baths. For almost two years, the young woman had visited the emergency department nearly every month with the same symptoms: nausea, abdominal pain, and throwing up uncontrollably. One of the key features of CHS is that patients report hot baths or showers can help relieve symptoms. The patient's symptoms stopped when she quit cannabisWhile hot showers and baths can help, the only permanent cure for CHS is quitting cannabis.

Major euro zone and UK banks are trading at a 40% discount to the region’s wider benchmark index, using price to forward earnings multiples tracked by Refinitiv. The subsequent euro zone crisis in 2012 prompted a wave of bad debt that weighed down earnings. More recently, though, euro zone lenders have been facing up to their past sins, and offloading non-performing loans. There’s no evidence of a bank lending splurge, despite years of rock-bottom interest rates. Between November 2012 and November 2022, euro zone banks’ total lending to households and companies grew at an annual clip of under 2%, a fraction of its pre-2008 pace.

The latter, he said, “broke through” during the Super Bowl, but “needs time and commitment” to grow.
