US stock indexes reached more records after tech companies talked up how much artificial intelligence is boosting their results. Salesforce helped pull the market higher after delivering stronger revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected, though its profit fell just short. CEO Mark Benioff highlighted the company's artificial-intelligence offering for customers, saying "the rise of autonomous AI agents is revolutionizing global labor, reshaping how industries operate and scale." The stock of the company, which helps businesses manage their customers, rose 11%. Marvell Technology jumped even more after delivering better results than expected, up 23.2%. CEO Matt Murphy said the semiconductor supplier is seeing strong demand from AI and gave a forecast for profit in the upcoming quarter that topped analysts' expectations, the reports. They helped offset an 8.6% drop for Foot Locker, which reported profit and revenue that fell short of analysts' expectations. CEO Mary Dillon said the company is taking a more cautious view, and it cut its forecasts for sales and profit this year. Campbell's fell 6.2% for another of the S&P 500's sharper losses despite increasing its dividend and reporting a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. Its revenue fell short of Wall Street's expectations, and the NFL's Washington Commanders hired Campbell's CEO Mark Clouse as its team president. Airline stocks gained after JetBlue Airways said it saw stronger bookings for travel in November and December following the presidential election. It said it's also benefiting from lower fuel prices, as well as lower costs due to improved on-time performance. JetBlue jumped 8.3%, while Southwest Airlines climbed 3.6%.Killer Whale that Carried Dead Calf for 1,000 Miles Gives Birth Again to Live Calf

A woman is going viral for an uncomfortable experience she had with her go-to comfort food. On Nov. 19, Abby Kreger, who is the director of a pet rescue in Frankenmuth, Michigan, about a mystery surrounding Kraft Gluten Free Original Mac & Cheese: missing cheese sauce packets. Kreger, who has celiac disease, purchased multiple boxes prior to recording her video and was shocked to find that none of them had cheese packets in them. “Hey, listen, this message is for Kraft Mac & Cheese,” Kreger says in her now-viral video. “I’m gluten-free, and I have gotten now four boxes of gluten-free mac and cheese that do not have a sauce packet inside.” Kreger says that first she bought two boxes and discovered the production mistake, and after contacting Kraft’s customer service, she received a voucher for two free replacement boxes at the store of her choice. She says she bought the next two boxes individually at separate locations in different cities — but still had the same issue. “So giving me a coupon to get another box of mac and cheese isn’t solving the problem because Kraft Mac & Cheese is not addressing the problem,” she says. “You guys are having a problem in production. I’m not being a Karen.” Kreger concludes her video by pleading that Kraft find out what’s happening. “I’ve had celiac disease for almost five years,” she says, adding that she likely eats this product five times a week. “It’s to the point where I feel like I can’t even buy boxes of Kraft Gluten Free Mac & Cheese because it’s not gonna have the sauce packet and it’s just a waste of my money.” Kreger’s message to Kraft garnered over 3.2 million views and 12,000 comments. “Omg I would literally cry. Especially with how expensive it is,” one TikTok user. “Signed a celiac girly.” “WAIT SAME IM ALSO GF AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME,” another person, and one more , “This happened to me too!” Another user, who had the exact opposite experience, , “Too funny! My gf box had TWO cheese packets in it the other day (bought from Amazon). Sorry, I must have gotten your cheese!” Things escalated, though, when Kraft’s TikTok account responded to Kreger. “Hello. We apologize for this issue. We’re not having any quality issues with our gluten-free Kraft Mac and Cheese,” the company on her video. “Hello! Then why have I opened 4 boxes with no cheese packets?” she in response. People empathized with her exasperation in her comments section as well as in other TikTok videos — like one made by popular creator , who said the company “blew it.” “The way I would never buy Kraft again if I was the one experiencing this and they responded this way?!?” one TikTok user. “Not Kraft gaslighting you 😂,” someone else. On Nov. 21, Kreger to Kraft’s comment, expressing her frustration and sharing all of her correspondence with the company. “This makes it not feel like a comfort food anymore,” she says. “This does not feel safe. This feels more isolating. This is not helping my relationship with food.” Since then, people have been flooding Kraft’s socials with comments in support of Kreger. “So we all came from the girl who didn’t get her cheese packets? 😅,” one user on a about Kraft’s new Everything Bagel Mac & Cheese. “PUT THE SAUCE IN THE BAG BRO,” someone else on . Just when it seemed all hope was lost, Kreger on Nov. 21 sharing that a Kraft employee named Larry called her to say that, in addition to hearing her concerns, the company was going to send her a care package. “I also told Larry that I think he needs to talk to his social media team because the comment on my video was gaslighting me, did isolate me, did make me feel worse, and it was not proper customer service,” she says. A representative for Kraft Heinz tells TODAY.com that the company’s quality assurance team is investigating the production issue to determine the root cause of the problem. “Our team has been in touch with Abby to apologize for her experience and to make things right,” says the rep. “We are working closely with our response teams to ensure all future inquiries are treated with the care and respect they deserve.” In the cheesy aftermath of this saga, Kreger she has been sent free goodies from other food brands. On Nov. 22, she shared that California Pizza Kitchen delivered four gluten-free pizzas to her door and Stouffer’s sent eight boxes of gluten-free sides like creamed spinach and Mexican street corn. The next day, Instacart sent Kreger roses and gluten-free groceries, and Stouffer’s sent a second delivery of cheese sauce packets. Kreger also a handwritten note from Stouffer’s saying that her situation inspired them to create a gluten-free version of its Supreme Shells and Cheese product. “After hearing Abby’s story, we were excited to offer her our gluten-free sauce from STOUFFER’s Supreme Shells and Cheese,” Megan McLaughlin, Stouffer’s brand director tells TODAY.com. “At this time, we do not have a gluten free option in the pipeline, but we are always looking at consumer needs like Abby’s to help inspire our future innovations.” “I’m so blown away by this,” Kreger says through tears in her TikTok. “I’ve made a difference in the gluten-free community.” Washington, D.C. native Joseph Lamour is a lover of food: its past, its present and the science behind it. With food, you can bring opposites together to form a truly marvelous combination, and he strives to take that sentiment to heart in all that he does.Take it to the people, says Merriwa over 'treasured' Gumman Place Hostel

Cowboys opt to shut down Lamb for rest of yearAbout 5,000 miles west of the Caribbean nation, similar climes awaited Maui Invitational men's teams in Hawaii. They’ve often been greeted with leis, the traditional Hawaiian welcome of friendship. College basketball teams and fans look forward to this time of the year. The holiday week tournaments feature buzzworthy matchups and all-day TV coverage, sure, but there is a familiarity about them as they help ward off the November chill. For four decades, these sandy-beach getaways filled with basketball have become a beloved mainstay of the sport itself. “When you see (ESPN’s) ‘Feast Week’ of college basketball on TV, when you see the Battle 4 Atlantis on TV, you know college basketball is back,” said Miller-Tooley, the founder and organizer of the Battle 4 Atlantis men's and women's tournaments. “Because it’s a saturated time of the year with the NFL, college football and the NBA. But when you see these gorgeous events in these beautiful places, you realize, ‘Wow, hoops are back, let’s get excited.’” MTE Madness The Great Alaska Shootout was the trend-setting multiple-team event (MTE) nearly five decades ago. The brainchild of late Alaska-Anchorage coach Bob Rachal sought to raise his program’s profile by bringing in national-power programs, which could take advantage of NCAA rules allowing them to exceed the maximum allotment of regular-season games if they played the three-game tournament outside the contiguous 48 states. The first edition, named the Sea Wolf Classic, saw N.C. State beat Louisville 72-66 for the title on Nov. 26, 1978. The Maui Invitational followed in November 1984, borne from the buzz of NAIA program Chaminade’s shocking upset of top-ranked Virginia and 7-foot-4 star Ralph Sampson in Hawaii two years earlier. Events kept coming, with warm-weather locales getting in on the action. The Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Cancun Challenge in Mexico. The Cayman Islands Classic. The Jamaica Classic. The Myrtle Beach Invitational joining the Charleston Classic in South Carolina. Numerous tournaments in Florida. Some events have faded away like the Puerto Rico Tipoff and the Great Alaska Shootout, the latter in 2017 amid event competition and schools opting for warm-weather locales. Atlantis rising Miller-Tooley’s push to build an MTE for Atlantis began as a December 2010 doubleheader with Georgia Tech beating Richmond and Virginia Tech beating Mississippi State in a prove-it moment for a tournament’s viability. It also required changing NCAA legislation to permit MTEs in the Bahamas. Approval came in March 2011; the first eight-team Atlantis men’s tournament followed in November. That tournament quickly earned marquee status with big-name fields, with Atlantis champions Villanova (2017) and Virginia (2018) later winning that season’s NCAA title. Games run in a ballroom-turned-arena at the resort, where players also check out massive swimming pools, water slides and inner-tube rapids surrounded by palm trees and the Atlantic Ocean. “It’s just the value of getting your passport stamped, that will never get old,” Miller-Tooley said. “Watching some of these kids, this may be their first and last time – and staff and families – that they ever travel outside the United States. ... You can see through these kids’ eyes that it’s really an unbelievable experience.” ACC Network analyst Luke Hancock knows that firsthand. His Louisville team finished second at Atlantis in 2012 and won that year’s later-vacated NCAA title, with Hancock as the Final Four's most outstanding player. “I remember (then-coach Rick Pitino) saying something to the effect of: ‘Some of you guys might never get this opportunity again. We’re staying in this unbelievable place, you’re doing it with people you love,’” Hancock said. “It was a business trip for us there at Thanksgiving, but he definitely had a tone of ‘We’ve got to enjoy this as well.’” Popular demand Maui offers similar vibes, though 2024 could be a little different as Lahaina recovers from deadly 2023 wildfires that forced the event's relocation last year. North Carolina assistant coach Sean May played for the Tar Heels’ Maui winner in 2004 and was part of UNC’s staff for the 2016 champion, with both teams later winning the NCAA title. May said “you just feel the peacefulness” of the area — even while focusing on games — and savors memories of the team taking a boat out on the Pacific Ocean after title runs under now-retired Hall of Famer Roy Williams. “Teams like us, Dukes, UConns – you want to go to places that are very well-run,” May said. “Maui, Lea Miller with her group at the Battle 4 Atlantis, that’s what drives teams to come back because you know you’re going to get standard A-quality of not only the preparation but the tournament with the way it’s run. Everything is top-notch. And I think that brings guys back year after year.” That’s why Colorado coach Tad Boyle is so excited for the Buffaloes’ first Maui appearance since 2009. “We’ve been trying to get in the tournament since I got here,” said Boyle, now in his 15th season. And of course, that warm-weather setting sure doesn’t hurt. “If you talk about the Marquettes of the world, St. John’s, Providence – they don’t want that cold weather,” said NBA and college TV analyst Terrence Oglesby, who played for Clemson in the 2007 San Juan Invitational in Puerto Rico. “They’re going to have to deal with that all January and February. You might as well get a taste of what the sun feels like.” Packed schedule The men’s Baha Mar Championship in Nassau, Bahamas, got things rolling last week with No. 11 Tennessee routing No. 13 Baylor for the title. The week ahead could boast matchups befitting the Final Four, with teams having two weeks of action since any opening-night hiccups. “It’s a special kickoff to the college basketball season,” Oglesby said. “It’s just without the rust.” On the women’s side, Atlantis began its fourth eight-team women’s tournament Saturday with No. 16 North Carolina and No. 18 Baylor, while the nearby Baha Mar resort follows with two four-team women’s brackets that include No. 2 UConn, No. 7 LSU, No. 17 Mississippi and No. 20 N.C. State. Then come the men’s headliners. The Maui Invitational turns 40 as it opens Monday back in Lahaina. It features second-ranked and two-time reigning national champion UConn, No. 4 Auburn, No. 5 Iowa State and No. 10 North Carolina. The Battle 4 Atlantis opens its 13th men’s tournament Wednesday, topped by No. 3 Gonzaga, No. 16 Indiana and No. 17 Arizona. Michigan State Hall of Famer Tom Izzo is making his fourth trip to Maui, where he debuted as Jud Heathcote’s successor at the 1995 tournament. Izzo's Spartans have twice competed at Atlantis, last in 2021. “They’re important because they give you something in November or December that is exciting,” Izzo said. Any drawbacks? “It’s a 10-hour flight,” he said of Hawaii."Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

None11 states sue three largest institutional investors for anticompetitive trade practices
(The Center Square) - California Gov. Gavin Newsom said if President-elect Donald Trump ends the $7,500 electric vehicle rebate program, he’ll get Californians to pay for new credits. However, the credits would not include Tesla, which is the most popular EV company and the only EV manufacturer in the state. This comes weeks after Newsom and his administration passed new refinery and carbon credit regulations that will add up to $1.15 per gallon of gasoline and require Californians with gasoline-powered cars to earn up to another $1,000 per year in pretax income to afford. “We will intervene if the Trump Administration eliminates the federal tax credit, doubling down on our commitment to clean air and green jobs in California,” said Newsom in a statement. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose rocket launches were recently blocked by a California regulatory board that cited his personal politics, shared his disapproval on his social media platform, X, after Newsom staff told Bloomberg that Tesla models would not qualify for California rebates. “Even though Tesla is the only company who manufactures their EVs in California,” said Musk. “This is insane.” Musk recently moved SpaceX and X out of California, citing a new law signed by Newsom banning parental notification for gender change requests from K-12 students. The credits would be paid for through California’s cap-and-trade program, which requires carbon emitters to purchase credits from the state — costs which are generally passed on to consumers in the form of more expensive gasoline, energy, and even concrete. Emitters buy a few billion dollars worth of credits from California each year, with the state’s $135 billion high speed rail project getting the lion’s share of the revenue. The California Resources Board — all but two of whose voting members are appointed by the governor — recently approved $105 billion in EV charging credits and $8 billion in hydrogen charging credits to be largely paid for by drivers of gas cars and diesel trucks. An investigation by The Center Square found the change was pushed by EV makers and the builders of EV charging systems. Buyers of EV chargers, who pay for the energy and own the charger, sign installation contracts that permanently give away their rights to government or other EV charging credits generated from fueling a vehicle with electrons instead of gasoline. These chargers are often bundled with the purchase of an EV, or covered entirely by utility or government rebates, meaning they are permanent, zero-or-low-cost revenue streams for the company collecting the credits.Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses Exceeding $75,000 In iLearningEngines To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options If you suffered losses exceeding $75,000 in iLearningEngines between April 22, 2024 and August 28, 2024 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310) .

On August 29, 2024 , before the market opened, Hindenburg Research published a report titled "iLearningEngines: An Artificial Intelligence SPAC With Artificial Partners and Artificial Revenue." In its report, Hindenburg Research alleged that nearly all of the Company's revenue and expenses in 2022 and 2023 were run through an undisclosed related party, which the Company refers to as their "Technology Partner." Hindenburg Research further alleged that iLearningEngines uses its undisclosed related party relationship to report revenue and expenses that are "largely fake."

Tweet Facebook Mail On one of the busiest travel days of the year at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, security lapses enabled an unticketed passenger to board a plane to Paris in a shocking breach that one aviation expert said should serve as a "wake-up call". "It's a really big deal and it leaves our vulnerabilities exposed to the world," Mary Schiavo, an aviation analyst and former inspector general for the US Department of Transportation, said. "Not much went right," she said of the episode involving a woman a Paris airport official identified as a 57-year-old Russian national. French authorities have identified the woman as Svetlana Dali. READ MORE: Disgusting discovery at Aussie beach sparks warning to dog owners The stowaway identified by French authorities as Svetlana Dali is pictured on a flight from Paris back to New York on Wednesday. (Saskya Vandoorne/CNN) The stowaway didn't have a boarding pass but completed a security screening and bypassed identity verification and boarding status stations to board a Delta Air Lines aircraft the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, according to the Transportation Security Administration. The woman did go through carry-on baggage screening where the TSA said its officers found two bottles of water. She was eventually arrested when the plane touched down in France. "Maybe this is one incredibly lucky thing that happened because the system is blinking red," Schiavo said in an interview. "Everyone knows the threats are out there and the TSA just failed horribly, as did Delta Air Lines. So if people approach this properly, this could be the wake-up call that we need to keep flyers and the people over whose heads we fly safe." Stowaway blended in with groups A TSA spokesperson told CNN the woman first bypassed an airport terminal employee in charge of the security lane reserved for airline flight crews at JFK's Terminal 4 main checkpoint. It was at that point the woman skipped the station where her ID and boarding pass would have been checked, the spokesperson said. She then joined the line for standard TSA screening. It remains unclear how the woman was able to get past Delta gate agents at JFK. Delta has not said how the woman was able to board the plane once she made it past the TSA checkpoint. The stowaway got past multiple security checkpoints this week at New York's JFK International Airport and boarded a plane to Paris. (CNN) Investigators believe a contributing factor may have been the massive holiday weekend crowds at the airport. According to TSA data, nearly 2.7 million people were screened on that Tuesday before Thanksgiving. A review of JFK's security camera video shows the woman first blended in with a flight crew before the security screening, and later proceeded to the gate where she then placed herself in the middle of what appeared to be a family travelling together, according to a senior law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. She blended in with the group of travellers as they presented multiple tickets and passports at once, according to the official. "This is no excuse," Schiavo said. "They are supposed to treat each person as a separate security threat. The TSA mantra is 'every passenger, every time' — they are not supposed to treat groups any differently than solo — each person must be identified and have a ticket." Schiavo – who has represented passengers and crew of numerous US aviation incidents, including cases filed on behalf of 9/11 victims' family members – said that all airport checkpoints are covered by video cameras and the stowaway "is obviously on that video skirting the TSA identification and ticketing check." "They already know how she did it and they need to fess up and close that loophole," Schiavo said. Passengers learned about the stowaway on Delta Flight 264 from JFK to Charles de Gaulle Airport when the plane landed. The pilot instructed travellers to remain seated because French police were boarding to deal with "a serious security issue," Rob Jackson, who was on the flight, told CNN. READ MORE: Sean 'Diddy' Combs accused of dangling woman off balcony in new lawsuit E-gates seen as solution TSA is conducting its own investigation of the incident, a federal official familiar with the probe told CNN. The incident shows electronic gate technology – known as e-gates, which could integrate with the agency's facial recognition systems at checkpoints – could prevent incidents like this, though it would require more federal investment, TSA said. TSA Administrator David P. Pekoske, speaking at the American Association of Airport Executives Aviation Security Summit on Tuesday, said the agency occasionally has "a very, very small number" of people who skip the identity verification stage undetected. He suggested electronic gates might be a solution to making sure all passengers are screened. "It's something we take very seriously," he said of the people who bypass the identification verification station. "When I see something systemically occurring within the system, my first question is, 'Hey, what can we do?' And one of those solutions would be installing e-gates." Pekoske added, "We don't use e-gates in our system, and that's a problem." Schiavo said bypassing the first identity verification station with its facial recognition technology was among the glaring mistakes committed that day. "She came in and she didn't have any facial recognition, and obviously they didn't check to see she was ticketed passenger because she wasn't," Schiavo said. She slips by undetected at Delta gate Delta said it "is conducting an exhaustive investigation of what may have occurred" during boarding, but has declined further comment. "At the gate, because it's an international flight, they should have checked, A. her ticket, and B. her passport. So that's another check," Schiavo said. "Of course, that didn't happen. And then she didn't have an assigned seat. You know, everybody's supposed to be seated and buckled in, right? That's a federal aviation regulation." A source familiar with the incident said the stowaway was able to evade detection by the flight crew on the plane because the flight was not full, though passengers told CNN the woman was able to hide by moving between bathrooms. "The flight attendants are required to check the bathrooms. Some airlines lock the bathrooms but Delta doesn't require them to be locked on takeoff," Schiavo said. "The airlines that require that it's obviously to stop this bathroom dodgeball." The woman left France on a flight back to JFK on Wednesday. She was escorted onto the Delta Air Lines-operated plane by two French security officials. A day earlier she was onboard a flight back to New York but Delta refused to fly her when she became disruptive, according to law enforcement sources. She had been scheduled to be on a flight to the US on Saturday but French authorities removed her from the aircraft after she started screaming. Second Delta stowaway this year In March, a man from Texas was arrested on a charge of stowing away on a vessel or aircraft after boarding a Delta flight in Salt Lake City without a ticket by using a photo he took of another passenger's boarding pass while they were not looking, according to court documents. Once on the plane, the man went to the lavatory at the front of the aircraft and spent "a significant amount of time" there while other passengers boarded, the complaint said. After boarding was completed and just before the aircraft doors were secured, the man made his way to the back of the aircraft and entered the lavatory there, according to the complaint. When the man left the bathroom, a flight attendant noticed there were no available seats and approached him, according to the complaint. Once flight attendants obtained the man's name and determined he didn't have a ticket, the plane returned to the gate and he was met by law enforcement.
