‘Buy now, pay later’ is more popular than ever. It can cost more than you thinkShort sellers play a controversial yet vital role in financial markets, acting as watchdogs who can identify and uncover corporate misdeeds. By leveraging investigative research, they often discover fraudulent practices that might otherwise remain unknown. Hindenburg Research, led by Nate Anderson, is known for targeting high-profile companies and individuals such as Carl Icahn and Indian billionaire businessman Gautam Adani. Hindenburg’s detailed reports frequently highlight alleged corporate fraud. Anderson describes the firm’s mission as “popping bubbles where we see them,” CNBC reported. The firm’s approach has earned it accolades from industry observers. “Hindenburg’s capacity to consistently produce high-quality, influential research stands in contrast to the, often ridiculously, demanding landscape for short-sellers,” Ivan Cosovic, managing director of data group Breakout Point, told CNBC. Short selling involves borrowing shares of a company and selling them, aiming to repurchase the shares at a lower price, thereby profiting from the decline. However, the practice is risky, as stock prices can rise indefinitely, resulting in substantial losses for the short seller. Jim Chanos, often notes as one of the world’s top short sellers, highlights the research required for success in this field, according to Yale Alumni Magazine . “He’s been pretty much right about everything,” said corporate governance advocate Nell Minow, referring to Chanos’s history of exposing fraudulent companies, including Enron and Tyco. Short seller Fahmi Quadir, founder of Safkhet Capital, stressed the importance of skepticism and deep forensic research in identifying fraud. “At some point, I realized there’s something about capital markets; they have power, investors have power. They have the power to affect change,” she explained to Stanford University . These revelations often alert regulators, such as the SEC, in investigating corporate misconduct. For instance, Gautam Adani’s indictment for a multibillion-dollar fraud and bribery scheme in 2024 stemmed from allegations initially raised by Hindenburg. The indictment accused Adani and associates of misleading U.S. investors while paying over $250 million in bribes to Indian officials, CNBC reported. Critics argue that short selling profits from failure, but supporters point out that it serves a higher purpose by ensuring accurate price discovery and accountability. “Short sellers help stocks find their true values and expose fraud, despite the hate they receive,” financial analyst Ihor Dusaniwsky told CNBC.By Michelle Marchante, Miami Herald (TNS) MIAMI — As her students finished their online exam, Arlet Lara got up to make a cafe con leche . Her 16-year-old son found her on the kitchen floor. First, he called Dad in a panic. Then 911. “I had a stroke and my life made a 180-degree turn,” Lara told the Miami Herald, recalling the medical scare she experienced in May 2020 in the early months of the COVID pandemic. “The stroke affected my left side of the body,” the North Miami woman and former high school math teacher said. Lara, an avid runner and gym goer, couldn’t even walk. “It was hard,” the 50-year-old mom said. After years of rehabilitation therapy and a foot surgery, Lara can walk again. But she still struggles with moving. This summer, she became the first patient in South Florida to get an implant of a new and only FDA-approved nerve stimulation device designed to help ischemic stroke survivors regain movement in their arms and hands. This first procedure was at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. Lara’s rehab was at at the Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, part of a partnership between Jackson Health System and UHealth. Every year, thousands in the United States have a stroke , with one occurring every 40 seconds, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The majority of strokes are ischemic, often caused by blood clots that obstruct blood flow to the brain. For survivors, most of whom are left with some level of disability, the Vivistim Paired VNS System, the device implanted in Lara’s chest, could be a game changer in recovery, said Dr. Robert Starke, a UHealth neurosurgeon and interventional neuroradiologist. He also serves as co-director of endovascular neurosurgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital, part of Miami-Dade’s public hospital system.

The implant is designed to help stroke survivors regain function in their arms. (Alie Skowronski/Miami Herald/TNS) What to know about the stroke device The Vivistim Paired VNS System is a small pacemaker-like device implanted in the upper chest and neck area. Patients can go home the same day. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the stroke rehabilitation system in 2021 to be used alongside post-ischemic stroke rehabilitation therapy to treat moderate to severe mobility issues in hands and arms. Lara’s occupational therapist can activate the device during rehabilitation sessions to electrically stimulate the vagus nerve, which runs from the brain down to the abdomen and regulates various parts of the body’s nervous system. The electrical stimulation rewires the brain to improve a stroke survivor’s ability to move their arms and hands. How it worked on the first Jackson patient Lara also has a magnet she can use to activate the device when she wants to practice at home. Her therapy consists of repetitive tasks, including coloring, pinching cubes and grabbing and releasing cylindrical shapes. After several weeks of rehabilitation therapy with the device, Lara has seen improvement. “Little by little, I’m noticing that my hand is getting stronger. I am already able to brush my teeth with the left hand,” she told the Miami Herald in September. Since then, Lara has finished the initial six-week Vivitism therapy program, and is continuing to use the device in her rehabilitation therapy. She continues to improve and can now eat better with her left hand and can brush her hair with less difficulty, according to her occupational therapist, Neil Batungbakal. Lara learned about the device through an online group for stroke survivors and contacted the company to inquire. She then connected them with her Jackson medical team. Now a year later, the device is available to Jackson patients. So far, four patients have received the implant at Jackson. Starke sees the device as an opportunity to help bring survivors one step closer to regaining full mobility. Strokes are a leading cause of disability worldwide. While most stroke survivors can usually recover some function through treatment and rehabilitation, they tend to hit a “major plateau” after the first six months of recovery, he said. Vivistim, when paired with rehabilitation therapy, could change that. Jackson Health said results of a clinical trial published in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet in 2021 showed that the device, “when paired with high-repetition, task-specific occupational or physical therapy, helps generate two to three times more hand and arm function for stroke survivors than rehabilitation therapy alone.” The device has even shown to benefit patients 20 years from their original stroke, according to Starke. “So now a lot of these patients that had strokes 10-15 years ago that thought that they would never be able to use their arm in any sort of real functional way are now able to have a real meaningful function, which is pretty tremendous,” Starke said. More about the device Vivistim’s vagus-nerve stimulation technology was developed by researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas’ Texas Biomedical Device Center and is being sold commercially by Austin-based MicroTransponder, a company started by university graduates. Similar devices are used to treat epilepsy and depression . For Lara, the device is a new tool to help her recovery journey. “Everything becomes a challenge so we are working with small things every day because I want to get back as many functions as possible,” Lara said. Patients interested in Vivistim should speak with their doctor to check their eligibility. The FDA said patients should make sure to discuss any prior medical history, including concurrent forms of brain stimulation, current diathermy treatment, previous brain surgery, depression, respiratory diseases and disorders such as asthma, and cardiac abnormalities. “Adverse events included but were not limited to dysphonia (difficulty speaking), bruising, falling, general hoarseness, general pain, hoarseness after surgery, low mood, muscle pain, fracture, headache, rash, dizziness, throat irritation, urinary tract infection and fatigue,” the FDA said. MicroTransponder says the device is “covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance with prior authorization on a case-by-case basis.” To learn more about the device, visit vivistim.com. ©2024 Miami Herald.

Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York and personal lawyer to Donald Trump, has pleaded poverty in a US court, telling a judge he has no car, credit card, or cash. Guiliani, 80, was appearing in federal court in the city before a January trial to decide which assets he must hand over to two Georgia election workers he accused of lying to help steal the 2020 presidential contest from Mr Trump , who lost to Joe Biden. Last December, the now-disbarred lawyer was told to pay $148m (£118m) in damages to Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Moss. The women told a Washington court their reputations were ruined and racist and violent threats were made against them that turned their lives upside down because of Giuliani's lies. On Tuesday, Giuliani complained his daily life had been hamstrung by the pair and, after Manhattan District Court Judge Lewis Liman cast doubt on his inability to find paperwork for a car, he pointed at the judge and said: "Your implication that I have been not diligent about this is totally incorrect. "I don't have a car, I don't have a credit card, I don't have cash. I can't pay my bills." Judge Liman warned Giuliani not to speak again in court unless testifying under oath and said his highest priority should be "complying with the court's orders. Period."

He was 99. His death was confirmed by Brian Browne, a spokesperson for the university, who provided no other details. When Carnesecca took over as the St. John’s head coach in 1965, the university, while rich in basketball tradition, played as an independent. It had begun a gradual move to the Jamaica section of the New York City borough of Queens from the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn 10 years earlier, and its Alumni Hall athletic building was only 4 years old. With the founding of the Big East Conference in 1979, St. John’s began competing regularly against leading basketball programs. Carnesecca took St. John’s to 18 NCAA Tournaments and six NITs, including the 1989 championship, and his teams won the Big East Tournament championship in 1983 and 1986. St. John’s won 526 games while losing 200 in Carnesecca’s two stints there, from 1965-70 and then, after his three seasons coaching the New York (now Brooklyn) Nets in the old American Basketball Association, from 1973-92. St. John’s was ranked No. 1 in the two major national polls for five consecutive weeks late in the 1984-85 season. Led by the All-American Chris Mullin (a future St. John’s coach), Mark Jackson, Walter Berry and Bill Wennington — all New Yorkers except for Wennington, who was from Montreal — St. John’s reached the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four that season before falling to Georgetown in the semifinals. Midway through the season, Carnesecca caught a cold, and his wife, Mary, suggested that he wear a sweater for his next game. He went through his closet and picked out a garish dark brown one with large red and blue chevrons across the front, a gift he had received a few years earlier from a visiting Italian coach. He wore the sweater through a prolonged winning streak, though as Carnesecca remarked to reporters at one point, “It’s ugly, isn’t it.” Fans sent him sweaters after that, and Carnesecca began wearing them regularly at courtside while roaming the sidelines, dancing up and down as he exhorted his players to greater feats. Carnesecca, known to just about everyone as Looie, spent hours watching game films at his home, though he wasn’t always the most organized at times, as a former St. John’s trainer, Lou DelCollo, told it. “You’d pick up the reel that was labeled as the first half of the Georgetown game, put it on the projector and find out it was the second half of the Providence game,” DelCollo told the Los Angeles Times in 1985. Although Carnesecca never won an NCAA championship, longtime Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski was highly impressed. “In sports you’re often judged by what you haven’t done,” he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 1991. “But what Louie has done is just incredible.” Carnesecca was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1992. Luigi Carnesecca was born Jan. 5, 1925, in Manhattan, the only child of Alfredo and Adele Carnesecca, Italian immigrants who owned an East Harlem delicatessen. He attended St. Ann’s Academy in Manhattan (now Archbishop Molloy High School in Queens), sitting on the bench as a basketball scrub, but he did experience a thrilling moment at the old Madison Square Garden on Eighth Avenue. “I was a terrible player,” he once told George Vecsey of The New York Times. “But I always wanted to be a coach. I was coaching little kids in the neighborhood, so they put me on the team at St. Ann’s, but I never played.” He added: “This was in the days when we played high school games in the Garden, and we were up by 40 points against St. Simon Stock, and the coach put me in, Dave Tobey, God rest his soul. “I was smart enough not to take the ball out of bounds, because, hah, I knew I would never get it back, so I got the ball and as soon as I cross the 10-second line, I let it fly. I didn’t even hit the rim or the backboard. The coach just took me right out of the game, and that was it.” After service in the Pacific with the Coast Guard during World War II, Carnesecca enrolled at St. John’s, where he got into three games as a junior varsity basketball player and played the infield for the baseball team. Following his graduation in 1950, he coached basketball and baseball at St. Ann’s. He returned to St. John’s in 1957 as an assistant basketball coach under Joe Lapchick, a former New York Knicks coach, and was succeeded in his high school posts by Jack Curran, who coached at Archbishop Molloy for 55 years. Carnesecca was named head coach at St. John’s when Lapchick retired. He won his 100th game in 1970, then left St. John’s for a lucrative contract as general manager and coach of the Nets. His teams made the ABA playoffs in each of his seasons and reached the league finals in 1972, losing to the Indiana Pacers. He had an overall record of 114-138 with the Nets. Carnesecca grew weary of the pro basketball grind. “It’s pretty hard to give the same halftime talk 118 times a year,” he said while announcing his retirement as St. John’s coach in April 1992. St. John’s renamed Alumni Hall as Lou Carnesecca Arena in November 2004. When Mullin was introduced by Carnesecca at his own Hall of Fame induction in 2011, he said, “I chose the best coach in the best city.” Following his coaching years, Carnesecca became a special assistant to the St. John’s president, working in community relations. St. John’s said in a statement that Carnesecca is survived by his wife of 73 years, Mary (Chiesa) Carnesecca; a daughter, Enes Carnesecca; a granddaughter, Ieva; a niece, Susan Chiesa; and a nephew, John Chiesa. In January 2001, Madison Square Garden raised a red and white banner emblazoned “526,” for Carnesecca’s 526 career victories in 24 seasons at St. John’s. “I’d be less than honest if I said I wasn’t thrilled,” he told the Times days before the ceremony, reflecting on how a boy raised by immigrant parents who ran a deli had succeeded in big-time sports. “I could have been slicing salami.” ——— This article originally appeared in The New York Times . © 2024 The New York Times Company
AvalonBay stock soars to 52-week high, hits $236.3DETROIT (AP) — A program that provides federal funds to groups in Detroit working to reduce homicides and shootings is showing reductions of 83%, 73% and 61% in some of the city's most violent areas. The numbers come as Detroit is on pace to continue setting historic lows in those crimes, according to the city. ShotStoppers ' metrics measure the level of homicides and shootings in the current quarter compared to the same quarter in the two prior years and were released Monday by Mayor Mike Duggan. The program kicked off in 2023. Going by names like Force Detroit, Detroit 300, Detroit Friends and Family, and New Era Community Connection, activists and residents are empowered to use their own strategies to prevent violence. Those strategies include teaching young people to think critically, improving training opportunities for adults, drug prevention and blight removal. Each group also is alerted by the police department whenever there is a shooting in their zone, Duggan told The Associated Press last week. “Because an hour later there will be a retaliation,” Duggan said. “The key is getting people to make different decisions. They’ve brokered agreements with groups beefing with one another. What they’re doing is making a difference.” The six groups focus on parts of the city that between 2018 and 2022 were hotspots for homicides and shootings. The recent drops in what the city calls Community Violence Intervention — or CVI — zones are from August through October and are compared to the same three-month period in 2023 and 2022. Homicides and shootings were down 35% in areas not part of the CVI zones. The 83% reduction in the Detroit Friends and Family CVI zone on Detroit's far northeast side was achieved through mediation strategies inside jails and juvenile facilities, working with the area's youth and looking at the goings-on within social networks, said Ray Winans, the group's founder. “It's not so much what we say to them. It's more so what we hear from them,” Winans told The Associated Press last week. “We want to hear what their stories are. We know our stories and support them while they are going through theirs'.” “This is a group of young men and women whose brains aren't fully developed yet,” he added. “We don't look at leadership in the sense of traditional leadership. We serve as an example of what's possible. We deal with behavior modifications.” Tamica Nixon, 48, has relatives who live in Winans’ CVI zone. She said just a year or so ago the sound of gunshots was prevalent. “There were so many gunshots you would think that’s the type of things you would hear in a war,” Nixon said following Duggan’s announcement at a neighborhood church. “Everything has really improved now. It’s safer.” The program is similar in name to the gunshot detection technology, ShotSpotter, which has been used and later dropped by Chicago and several other police departments in the United States. Violent crime in Detroit has been trending down for several years, with annual homicides being at their lowest since 1966 when there were 214 homicides. In 2023, Detroit recorded 252 homicides and 804 nonfatal shootings. Those numbers were 309 and 955, respectively, in 2022. The city recorded 308 homicides in 2021 compared to 323 in 2020. There also were 1,064 nonfatal shootings in 2021, down from 1,170 the year before. Officials have placed some credit to the drop in violent crime citywide to the hiring of about 200 new police officers over the past few years and a partnership between the city, Wayne County and the state that improves coordination among agencies and courts. ShotStoppers' success only appears to add to the lower numbers. The project currently is funded by $10 million from the American Rescue Plan Act and each group started with a $175,000 base budget per quarter. Bonus grants are awarded to the groups that significantly cut serious violence in their areas. With federal funding expiring in April, the statewide $100 million Public Safety & Violence Prevention Trust Fund being considered by Michigan lawmakers In Lansing could continue funding for the program. If approved, Detroit plans to add two new groups.‘Baby Driver’ Star Remembered at Memorial Service After Death at 16
