Scott and the companies which ran the concert on Nov. 5 are facing a plethora of lawsuits from grieving families and injured concert-goers. The event resulted in 10 people dying and hundreds of others injured when a crowd surge occurred, crushing and trampling many people. The lawsuits, similar to the others, blame Scott and the companies for failing to have basic safety precautions, The Associated Press reported. “Defendants egregiously failed in their duty to protect the health, safety, and lives of those in attendance at the concert, including but not limited to the failure to provide adequate security personnel to implement crowd control measures, proper barricades, and the failure to provide a sufficient amount of emergency medical support,” the suits said....

High expenses drag down your investment return. “On average, fund managers can’t recoup those expenses in the form of better performance,” says finance professor Edward O’Neal of Wake Forest University, coauthor of a major new study showing costs to be (aaagh) even heavier than I thought. John Freeman, law professor at the University of South Carolina, really got my blood up: “Rampant price-gouging by mutual-fund advisers costs shareholders $9 billion a year,” he says....

After a last-lap Daytona 500 crash that sent his No. 6 Ford Mustang tumbling down the frontstretch, Newman was silent on his radio, eventually removed from the car by track officials and taken to a nearby hospital. Twenty-year-old memories inevitably entered the minds of those who remember the day Dale Earnhardt was killed in a last-lap crash in the 2001 Daytona 500. Newman survived the accident thanks to the endless work NASCAR has done since Earnhardt’s wreck to improve the safety of its cars....

This might have made a little (though very little) sense when child-development experts believed, with William Wordsworth, that “the child is father of the man.” For decades, researchers did think that personality is established in childhood, along with the ability to form loving relationships, to learn and to feel a sense of well-being—and woe betide the person who took the wrong fork in the road back when he was in diapers....

Biden said he will announce his nominee by the end of February, and he reiterated his campaign promise that he will choose a Black woman for the position. Aside from making potentially making history, Biden’s pick could also help unite a Democratic Party that’s seen high-profile division, according to experts on the Supreme Court contacted by Newsweek on Thursday. While Senate Democrats were not able to come to an agreement regarding the Build Back Better Act (BBB) and rules regarding the filibuster, Biden’s Supreme Court nomination could be something for them to agree on, according to Nicole Huberfeld, a professor of health law, ethics and human rights at Boston University....

Dietitians are skeptical of these findings. “This study suggests an association; it is not a randomized clinical trial that proves cause and effect, and it’s not a study that makes us want to recommend women avoid dairy,” Elizabeth Ward, MS, RDN, a registered dietitian and co-author of The Menopause Diet Plan, tells Verywell....

The March 6, 2003 draft memo from the Defense Department, which was obtained in part by NEWSWEEK, is titled a “WORKING GROUP REPORT ON DETAINEE INTERROGATIONS IN THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM” and explores numerous legal defenses for acts that might be construed as torture.
