LOS ANGELES (AP) — Blake Snell and the Los Angeles Dodgers have finalized a $182 million, five-year contract. The reigning World Series champions announced the deal with the two-time Cy Young Award winner on Saturday. Snell, who turns 32 on Wednesday, went 5-3 with a 3.12 ERA in 20 starts for San Francisco this year, throwing a no-hitter at Cincinnati on Aug. 2 for one of only 16 individual shutouts in the major leagues this season. The left-hander struck out 145 and walked 44 in 104 innings. He was sidelined between April 19 and May 22 by a strained left adductor and between June 2 and July 9 by a strained left groin. Snell gets a $52 million signing bonus , payable on Jan. 20, and annual salaries of $26 million, of which $13 million each year will be deferred. Because Snell is a Washington state resident, the signing bonus will not be subject to California income tax. Snell joins Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto atop Los Angeles’ rotation. Ohtani didn’t pitch this year while recovering from right elbow surgery but the two-way star is expected back on the mound in 2025. Snell won Cy Young Awards in 2018 with Tampa Bay and 2023 with San Diego. He is 76-58 with a 3.19 ERA in nine seasons with the Rays (2016-20), Padres (2021-23) and Giants. Because he turned down a qualifying offer from San Diego last November, the Giants were not eligible to give Snell another one and won’t receive draft-pick compensation.

NEW YORK , Dec. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of ordinary shares of ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ: ASML) between January 24, 2024 and October 15, 2024 , both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important January 13, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. So what: If you purchased ASML ordinary shares during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. What to do next: To join the ASML class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31159 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 13 , 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the issues being faced by suppliers, like ASML, in the semiconductor industry were much more severe than defendants had indicated to investors; (2) the pace of recovery of sales in the semiconductor industry was much slower than defendants had publicly acknowledged; (3) defendants had created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to customer demand and anticipated growth, while also downplaying risk from macroeconomic and industry fluctuations, as well as stronger regulations restricting the export of semiconductor technology, including the products that ASML sells; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about ASML's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

A.Jammu, Nov 30: Legislative Assembly of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, in its maiden session, which lasted five days from November 4 to 8, 2024 in Srinagar, moved and passed a resolution seeking restoration of special status and constitutional guarantees. The resolution, moved by Deputy Chief Minister, Surinder Kumar Choudhary, on November 6 under supplementary list of business, “reaffirmed the importance of special status, constitutional guarantees, which safeguarded the identity, culture and rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.” Expressing concern over their (special status, constitutional guarantees) “unilateral removal”, the resolution read, “This (J&K) Legislative Assembly calls upon the Government of India to initiate dialogue with elected representatives of people of Jammu and Kashmir for restoration of special status, constitutional guarantees and to workout constitutional mechanisms for restoring these provisions.” “This Assembly emphasises that any process for restoration must safeguard both national unity and the legitimate aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir,” the resolution, seconded by Minister for Health and Medical Education, Sakina Masood Itoo, read. The resolution, seeking restoration of Article 370 and 35-A in a very subtle expression, was passed by the J&K Legislative Assembly amid violent protest by 28 MLAs of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As anticipated earlier, the resolution created flutters across political spectrum, though its aftermath also saw dissonance among Kashmir based parties over “its (resolution’s) ambiguous and subtle expression (by not directly referring to Article 370 and 35-A).” This created a kind of discord between the alliance partners National Conference and the Congress as well after the latter interpreted it (resolution) as a reiteration of demand for restoration of statehood and not for restoration of “Article 370, 35-A” as the former (NC) insisted. “For Congress, following the Supreme Court’s decision on Article 370 and 35-A, the only issue pending is that of restoration of statehood, exclusive rights of locals over land and jobs and this was what this resolution emphasised,” was Congress leaders’ interpretation. Nevertheless, resolution spiralled into a controversy, which found its resonance across the country. While local BJP leadership protested against it tooth and nail in J&K, describing it as “an affront to the spirit of Constitution, Parliament and also the contempt of (Supreme) court”, top BJP leadership exploited this issue to the hilt in two poll-bound states, mainly Maharashtra. This not only put Congress on the defensive but also helped BJP bag a stunning victory in Maharashtra. It was notable that the J&K Legislative Assembly, in the absence of new Business Rules, conducted its business, in its maiden session under UT status, as per the rules existing in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. Speaker J&K Legislative Assembly, Abdul Rahim Rather too had stated it, while presiding over the proceedings, quoting provision in J&K Reorganisation Act, 2019 enabling House (Assembly) to run as per the rules of erstwhile J&K till the framing of new rules. As the controversy erupted over resolution passed in J&K Legislative Assembly (LA) regarding special status and constitutional guarantees, dubbed as “illegal and unconstitutional” by BJP’s national as well as J&K leadership, it also raised another interesting proposition. Could J&K LA move, pass resolution on special status, had business rules on Puducherry model (which formed the premise of J&K UT’s governance model) been in place? Question finds its genesis in “The Administrator’s Rules for the Pondicherry Legislative Assembly.” Under its Part II, dealing with “Prohibition of discussion of certain matters”, Rule 5 stipulates “Restrictions on resolutions.” According to Rule 5 (1), no resolution “shall be moved which relates to any matter which affects the discharge of the functions of the Administrator in so far as he is required by the Act to act in his discretion.” According to sub rule (2), if the “Speaker is of the opinion that a resolution or any part of a resolution is or may be one which cannot be moved because it is prohibited under sub-rule (1), he shall, as soon as may be after the receipt of the resolution, forward to the Administrator a copy thereof and, unless the Administrator (whose decision in the matter shall be final) decides that the resolution may be moved, it shall not be entered in the List of Business.” As per sub-rule (3), “Notwithstanding the fact that the Speaker has made no reference under sub-rule (2), if the Administrator, acting in his discretion, decides that any resolution or any part of a resolution is one which cannot be moved because it is prohibited under sub-rule (1), he may communicate his decision (which shall be final) to the Speaker, and on such communication, the resolution shall not be entered in the List of Business or, if it has been so entered, the Speaker shall decline to allow the resolution to be moved.” Sub-rule (4) stipulates, “If any doubt arises whether any resolution of which notice has been given or any part thereof is or is not within the prohibition imposed by sub-rule (1), the Administrator shall, acting in his discretion, decide the point and his decision shall be final.” Almost similar restrictions are in place on “questions” to be asked (in LA), under Rule 4. It is pertinent to mention here that the rules for J&K Legislative Assembly, to facilitate its functioning under new setup, too are yet to be framed.Vice President Kamala Harris rarely, if ever, brought up transgender rights during her 2024 presidential bid — but President-elect Donald Trump did, devoting .

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks tiptoed to more records amid a mixed Tuesday of trading, tacking a touch more onto what’s already been a stellar year so far. The S&P 500 edged up by 2 points, or less than 0.1%, to set an all-time high for the 55th time this year. It’s climbed in 10 of the last 11 days and is on track for one of its best years since the turn of the millennium. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 76 points, or 0.2%, while the Nasdaq composite added 0.4% to its own record set a day earlier. AT&T rose 4.6% after it boosted its profit forecast for the year. It also announced a $10 billion plan to send cash to its investors by buying back its own stock, while saying it expects to authorize another $10 billion of repurchases in 2027. On the losing end of Wall Street was U.S. Steel, which fell 8%. President-elect Donald Trump reiterated on social media that he would not let Japan’s Nippon Steel take over the iconic Pennsylvania steelmaker. Nippon Steel announced plans last December to buy the Pittsburgh-based steel producer for $14.1 billion in cash, raising concerns about what the transaction could mean for unionized workers, supply chains and U.S. national security. Earlier this year, President Joe Biden also came out against the acquisition. Tesla sank 1.6% after a judge in Delaware reaffirmed a previous ruling that the electric car maker must revoke Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay package. The judge denied a request by attorneys for Musk and Tesla’s corporate directors to vacate her ruling earlier this year requiring the company to rescind the unprecedented pay package. All told, the S&P 500 rose 2.73 points to 6,049.88. The Dow fell 76.47 to 44,705.53, and the Nasdaq composite gained 76.96 to 19,480.91. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady after a report showed U.S. employers were advertising slightly more job openings at the end of October than a month earlier. Continued strength there would raise optimism that the economy could remain out of a recession that many investors had earlier worried was inevitable. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.23% from 4.20% from late Monday. Yields have seesawed since Election Day amid worries that Trump’s preferences for lower tax rates and bigger tariffs could spur higher inflation along with economic growth. But traders are still confident the Federal Reserve will cut its main interest rate again at its next meeting in two weeks. They’re betting on a nearly three-in-four chance of that, according to data from CME Group. Lower rates can give the economy more juice, but they can also give inflation more fuel. The key report this week that could guide the Fed’s next move will arrive on Friday. It’s the monthly jobs report , which will show how many workers U.S. employers hired and fired during November. It could be difficult to parse given how much storms and strikes distorted figures in October. Based on trading in the options market, Friday’s jobs report appears to be the biggest potential market mover until the Fed announces its next decision on interest rates Dec. 18, according to strategists at Barclays Capital. In financial markets abroad, the value of South Korea’s currency fell 1.1% against the U.S. dollar following a frenetic night where President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law and then later said he’d lift it after lawmakers voted to reject military rule. Stocks of Korean companies that trade in the United States also fell, including a 1.6% drop for SK Telecom. Japan’s Nikkei 225 jumped 1.9% to help lead global markets. Some analysts think Japanese stocks could end up benefiting from Trump’s threats to raise tariffs , including for goods coming from China . Trade relations between the U.S. and China took another step backward after China said it is banning exports to the U.S. of gallium, germanium, antimony and other key high-tech materials with potential military applications. The counterpunch came swiftly after the U.S. Commerce Department expanded the list of Chinese technology companies subject to export controls to include many that make equipment used to make computer chips, chipmaking tools and software. The 140 companies newly included in the so-called “entity list” are nearly all based in China. In China, stock indexes rose 1% in Hong Kong and 0.4% in Shanghai amid unconfirmed reports that Chinese leaders would meet next week to discuss planning for the coming year. Investors are hoping it may bring fresh stimulus to help spur growth in the world’s second-largest economy. In France, the CAC 40 rose 0.3% amid continued worries about politics in Paris , where the government is battling over the budget.

Trudeau flew to Florida Friday evening to attend a dinner at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump’s transition team is based. The in-person meeting came at the end of a rocky week in which Trump threatened to impose stiff tariffs on all imports from Canada and Mexico, unless the two countries stop illegal border crossings and prevent illicit drugs from entering the U.S. In a post on Truth Social, Trump says he and Trudeau discussed the drug crisis, particularly fentanyl, illegal immigration, as well as trade, energy and the Arctic. Trump’s post did not directly mention tariffs. Trudeau told reporters in West Palm Beach Saturday morning that he had an excellent conversation with Trump’s transition team.
Though NCIS : Hawai’i was one of many shows to get canceled in 2024 , the CBS drama’s fanbase on the whole has yet to fully accept and reconcile with that turn of events, and quite a few have been campaigning ever since for Vanessa Lachey to get a chance to return as Special Agent Jane Tennant. And after the crime drama spinoff took the top spot in a fan survey, Lachey shared her loving appreciation for those keeping the faith. The Dancing with the Stars vet took to the Stories on her Instagram page to socially frolic amongst the positive fan vibes and reflect that love back on everyone who have strongly missed seeing NCIS: Hawai’i on Monday nights since its cancellation in the spring . She shared a story about a survey hosted by The U.S. Mirror , which asked NCIS fans what their favorite spinoff is. Here's what the results were, according to the outlet: NCIS: Hawai'i : 63% NCIS: Los Angeles : 28% NCIS: New Orleans : 8% Regardless of the sample size, that’s a mightily astounding victory for NCIS: Hawai’i , which more than doubled the total number of people who opted in on the long-running L.A. spinoff. Perhaps the beach-filled offshoot even siphoned off some of Los Angeles ’ support simply by bringing LL Cool J into the cast for its third and final season. Lachey, who previously opened up about being blindsided by the cancellation , shared the love on Instagram by posting the following caption along with a story about the fan survey results. BEST fans in the WORLD!!! I ❤️ U! Following the survey first making its way online, fans were quick to start sharing it on social media with the ongoing core hope that CBS will see all of the efforts being made by former viewers to get Hawai’i back on the air in whatever way possible. That obviously won’t be happening as part of the 2024 TV schedule , and even the 2025 TV premieres seems like a dicey option to root for, but it doesn’t seem altogether impossible. After all, the crime drama wasn’t axed over terrible ratings or big problems behind the scenes. While it was indeed expensive to shoot in the titular location, the biggest thing in NCIS: Hawai’i ’s way was CBS already having a stacked roster of Fall TV shows, including the prequel series NCIS: Origins . So if the channel’s schedule planners don’t over-stock primetime at some point in the future, there could be room for a return to the Hawaiian field office. CINEMABLEND NEWSLETTER Your Daily Blend of Entertainment News It remains to be seen whether or not fans will dig into the upcoming arrival of the internationally set spinoff Tony and Ziva , co-starring Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo . Could it end up taking the top spot amidst favorites, or will Lachey’s NCIS: Hawai’i reign supreme? Vanessa Lachey may not be returning to the Hawaiian sunshine as Jane Tennant again anytime soon, but fans will soon see her back on the small screen again when The Ultimatum ’s newest season hits the 2024 Netflix schedule starting on Wednesday , December 4.Jaland Lowe, Pitt charge past LSU in second half to move to 6-0
