Vikings staying on track and in control behind Sam Darnold’s composure and confidenceDelaware judge reaffirms ruling that invalidated massive Tesla pay package for Elon Musk
NEW YORK (AP) — The outgoing head of the nation’s top public health agency urged the next administration to maintain its focus and funding to keep Americans safe from emerging health threats. “We need to continue to do our global work at CDC to make sure we are stopping outbreaks at their source,” Dr. Mandy Cohen, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. “We need to keep that funding up. We need to keep the expertise up. We need to keep the diplomacy up.” Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content. Please enable it in your browser settings.

(AP) — A Delaware judge has reaffirmed her ruling that Tesla must revoke Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay package Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick on Monday 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. McCormick also rejected an equally unprecedented and massive fee request by plaintiff attorneys , who argued that they were entitled to legal fees in the form of Tesla stock valued at more than $5 billion. The judge said the attorneys were entitled to a fee award of $345 million. The rulings came in a lawsuit filed by a Tesla stockholder who challenged Musk’s 2018 compensation package. McCormick concluded in January that Musk engineered the landmark pay package in sham negotiations with directors who were not independent. The compensation package initially carried a potential maximum value of about $56 billion, but that sum has fluctuated over the years based on Tesla’s stock price. Following the court ruling, Tesla shareholders met in June and ratified Musk’s 2018 pay package for a second time, again by an overwhelming margin. Defense attorneys then argued that the second vote makes clear that Tesla shareholders, with full knowledge of the flaws in the 2018 process that McCormick pointed out, were adamant that Musk is entitled to the pay package. They asked the judge to vacate her order directing Tesla to rescind the pay package. McCormick, who seemed skeptical of the defense arguments during an August hearing, said in Monday’s ruling that those arguments were fatally flawed. “The large and talented group of defense firms got creative with the ratification argument, but their unprecedented theories go against multiple strains of settled law,” McCormick wrote in a 103-page opinion. The judge noted, among other things, that a stockholder vote standing alone cannot ratify a conflicted-controller transaction. “Even if a stockholder vote could have a ratifying effect, it could not do so here due to multiple, material misstatements in the proxy statement,” she added. Meanwhile, McCormick found that the $5.6 billion fee request by the shareholder’s attorneys, which at one time approached $7 billion based on Tesla’s trading price, went too far. “In a case about excessive compensation, that was a bold ask,” McCormick wrote. Attorneys for the Tesla shareholder argue that their work resulted in the “massive” benefit of returning shares to Tesla that otherwise would have gone to Musk and diluted the stock held by other Tesla investors. They value that benefit at $51.4 billion, using the difference between the stock price at the time of McCormick’s January ruling and the strike price of some 304 million stock options granted to Musk. While finding that the methodology used to calculate the fee request was sound, the judge noted that the Delaware’s Supreme Court has noted that fee award guidelines “must yield to the greater policy concern of preventing windfalls to counsel.” “The fee award here must yield in this way, because $5.6 billion is a windfall no matter the methodology used to justify it,” McCormick wrote. A fee award of $345 million, she said, was “an appropriate sum to reward a total victory.” The fee award amounts to almost exactly half the current record $688 million in legal fees awarded in 2008 in litigation stemming from the collapse of Enron.

Fort Worth ISD oversight committee calls for more involvement in $1.2B bondPARIS — Howling winds couldn’t stop Notre Dame Cathedral ’s heart from beating again. People stand outside Notre-Dame Cathedral on Nov. 29 in Paris. With three resounding knocks on its doors by Paris Archbishop Laurent Ulrich, wielding a specially designed crosier carved from fire-scorched beams, the monument roared back to life Saturday evening. For the first time since a devastating blaze nearly destroyed it in 2019, the towering Gothic masterpiece reopened for worship, its rebirth marked by song, prayer, and awe beneath its soaring arches. The ceremony, initially planned to begin on the forecourt, was moved entirely inside due to unusually fierce December winds sweeping across the Île de la Cité, flanked by the River Seine. Yet the occasion lost none of its splendor. Inside the luminous nave, choirs sang psalms, and the cathedral’s mighty organ, silent for nearly five years, thundered to life in a triumphant interplay of melodies. The vaulted ceiling of the Notre-Dame cathedral is seen Nov. 29 in Paris. The restoration, a spectacular achievement in just five years for a structure that took nearly two centuries to build, is seen as a moment of triumph for French President Emmanuel Macron, who championed the ambitious timeline — and a welcome respite from his domestic political woes. The evening’s celebration, attended by 1,500 dignitaries, including President-elect Donald Trump, US first lady Jill Biden, Britain’s Prince William, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, underscored Notre Dame’s enduring role as both a spiritual and cultural beacon. Observers see the event as Macron's, and his intention to pivot it into a fully fledged diplomatic gathering, while highlighting France’s ability to unite on the global stage despite internal political crises. France's iconic Notre Dame Cathedral is formally reopening its doors on Saturday for the first time since a devastating fire nearly destroyed ... As the cathedral’s largest bell, the 13-ton Emmanuel — which was not named after the French leader — tolled into the Paris night, signaling the start of the ceremony, the crowd inside Notre Dame fell into an expectant hush. Emmanuel, a legacy of King Louis XIV, had rung through centuries of French history, and its peal now resonated as a call to witness another epochal moment. Outside the cathedral’s monumental doors, Ulrich raised his fire-scarred crosier. “Brothers and sisters, let us enter now into Notre Dame,” he declared. “It is she who accompanies us on our path to peace.” With the congregation of over 2,500 people watching in silence, Ulrich struck the floodlit doors, the base of his crosier reverberating against the wood. Inside, the choir answered with soaring hymns, their voices filling the nave. Illuminations on the cathedral facade heightened the drama. On the final strike, the heavy doors swung open, revealing the glowing interior of restored blond Lutetian limestone. Adding to the ceremony’s visual splendor, Ulrich and the clergy wore vibrant liturgical garments designed by French fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Known for his signature pop-art aesthetic, Castelbajac created 2,000 colorful pieces for 700 celebrants, blending modern elements with medieval touches. Flooded with light and song, the cathedral came alive in a moment of breathtaking spectacle. What had been a silent, soot-blackened ruin five years ago now blazed with renewed vitality, marking the culmination of a nearly $1 billion global effort to resurrect it. Speaking inside the cathedral, Macron expressed “gratitude” Saturday to those who saved, helped, and rebuilt Notre Dame, his voice reverberating through the nave. People gather near France's iconic Notre Dame Cathedral, hours before formally reopening its doors for the first time since a devastating fire nearly destroyed the 861-year-old landmark in 2019, on Saturday in Paris. “I stand before you ... to express the gratitude of the French nation,” he said, before voices flooded the space with song, harmonies not heard in over five years. “Tonight, the bells of Notre Dame are ringing again. And in a moment, the organ will awaken,” sending the “music of hope” cascading through the luminous interior to Parisians, France, and the world beyond, he said. The celebration is expected to give a much-needed boost to the embattled French leader, whose prime minister was ousted this week, plunging the nation’s politics into more turmoil. Macron has called Notre Dame’s reopening “a jolt of hope.” Observers say he hoped the occasion would briefly silence his critics and showcase France’s unity and resilience under his leadership — a rare moment of grace in a presidency now facing a grave crisis. Inside Notre Dame, 42,000 square meters of stonework—equivalent to six soccer pitches—gleamed anew, revealing intricate carvings and luminous limestone. Above, 2,000 oak beams, nicknamed “the forest,” restored the cathedral’s iconic spire and roof. The great organ, dormant for over five years, roared back to life like a slumbering giant. With its 7,952 pipes—ranging from pen-sized to torso-wide—and a renovated console featuring five keyboards, 115 stops, and 30 foot pedals, it responded to Archbishop Laurent Ulrich’s command: “Wake up, organ, sacred instrument.” Notre Dame's thunderous great organ was heard in public for the first time since 2019 at the cathedral's reopening ceremony Saturday night. The first low rumble grew into a triumphant symphony as four organists pulled out the stops, weaving improvised responses to the archbishop’s invocations. Eight times, Ulrich addressed the organ; eight times, its voice filled the nave with breathtaking sound. Guests marveled at the spectacle, many capturing the moment on their phones. “It’s a sense of perfection,” said François Le Page of the Notre Dame Foundation, who last saw the cathedral cloaked in scaffolding in 2021. “It was somber then. Now, it’s night and day.” The Rev. Andriy Morkvas, a Ukrainian priest who leads the Volodymyr Le Grand church in Paris, reflected on his first visit to Notre Dame in over a decade. “I didn’t recognize it,” he said. “God is very powerful; He can change things.” He expressed hope that the cathedral’s revival could inspire peace in his homeland, drawing strength from the presence of Ukraine’s president. “I think that will have a big impact,” he said. “I hope Notre Dame and Mary will help us resolve this conflict.” The reopening of Notre Dame comes at a time of profound global unrest, with wars raging in Ukraine and the Middle East. For Catholics, Notre Dame’s rector said the cathedral “carries the enveloping presence of the Virgin Mary, a maternal and embracing presence.′′ “It is a magnificent symbol of unity,” Olivier Ribadeau Dumas said. “Notre Dame is not just a French monument — it is a magnificent sign of hope.” The international range of dignitaries coming to Paris underline the cathedral’s significance as a symbol of shared heritage and peace. Canadian visitor Noelle Alexandria, who had traveled to Paris for the reopening, was struck by the cathedral’s ability to inspire. “She’s been nearly ruined before, but she always comes back,” Alexandria said. “Not many of us could say the same after such tragedy, but Notre Dame can.” Guests entered through Notre Dame’s iconic western façade, whose arched portals adorned with biblical carvings were once a visual guide for medieval believers. Above the central Portal of the Last Judgment, the Archangel Michael is depicted weighing souls, as demons attempt to tip the scales. These stone figures, designed to inspire both awe and fear, set the stage for a ceremony steeped in history. Inside, the hum of hundreds of guests awaiting the service filled the cathedral with human sounds once more — a stark contrast to the construction din that echoed there for years. Tuners restoring the great organ often worked through the night to find the silence needed to perfect its 7,952 pipes, ranging from pen-sized to torso-wide. Notre Dame echoed to the sound of a sustained standing ovation after the showing of a short movie that documented the gargantuan rebuilding effort. Outside, the word “MERCI” — thank you — was projected against the cathedral’s iconic western facade. The movie showed the terrible wounds left by the inferno — the gaping holes torn into its vaulted ceilings and the burned roof. But that was followed by images of all types of artisans, many using traditional handicraft techniques, who collectively restored Notre Dame to look better now than ever. "We went from night to light," said one of the workers in the movie. Security will be high through the weekend, echoing measures taken during the Paris Olympics earlier this year. The Île de la Cité — the small island in the River Seine that is home to Notre Dame and the historic heart of Paris— is closed to tourists and non-residents. Police vans and barriers blocked cobblestoned streets in a large perimeter around the island, while soldiers in thick body armor and sniffer dogs patrolled embankments. A special security detail followed Trump. For many, Notre Dame’s rebirth is not just a French achievement but a global one — after the reopening, the cathedral is set to welcome 15 million visitors annually, up from 12 million before the fire.

The federal EV tax credit has long been a way for many customers to justify the purchase of an electric vehicle over a traditional gas-powered one, especially considering the fact that EVs are typically more expensive upfront (though they cost less to maintain and power over time). Many of the most popular EV models have qualified for the credit over the years, including the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5 , and so on. With the upcoming change in administration, those days could soon be over. According to a report from Reuters , President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is reportedly planning to kill the EV tax credit — a move that would likely dissuade many potential buyers from opting for an EV. The move will have a pretty significant impact on the automotive industry in general. EV manufacturers have been banking on the tax credit as a way to lower the costs of their cars for customers, and many manufacturers have built plants in the U.S. in an effort to ensure that their vehicles qualify for the credit. The news isn’t great for those who were planning on buying an EV in the next few years. If you are about ready to pull the trigger, you may want to start thinking more seriously about it as we head closer to the beginning of Trump’s term in January. Unknowns Of course, to be clear, Trump’s team hasn’t actually announced that it’s planning on getting rid of the credit just yet, with the Reuters report citing two unnamed sources with direct knowledge of the matter. It’s entirely possible that the decision could be reversed, especially as more information comes to light about how it will impact American automotive manufacturers and jobs for American workers in newly built plants. Even if the Trump team does announce that it will be killing the credit, it’s entirely possible that they could instead phase it out over the course of a few months or years instead of ending it with immediate effect. All that is to say that we may end up finding out that the new administration won’t kill the tax credit at all, whether through a decision or by having other priorities first. In other words, you may find yourself buying an EV with the fear of the tax credit going away, only to find that it remains in place for the next few years. The best models that currently qualify If you do decide to buy an EV now in order to take advantage of the credit before it goes away, there are a few models that you should consider. Those in the market for a crossover-sized vehicle are spoiled for options. There’s the highly popular Tesla Model Y, alongside the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ford Mustang Mach-E , and the Kia EV6, all of which are considered to be among the best in their class. If you’re instead looking for an SUV-sized vehicle, then your options are a little more limited, but there are still some great vehicles out there. Perhaps the best vehicle that qualifies for the EV tax credit and is SUV-sized is the Rivian R1S (though keep in mind the price limitations of the credit, outlined below). For a slightly more affordable option, it’s worth considering the Kia EV9 , which is also an excellent SUV. Perhaps you’re instead looking for a truck? In that case, the Ford F-150 Lightning is an excellent option, as is the Rivian R1T. How to take advantage of the federal EV tax credit There are some guidelines for the federal EV tax credit that you’ll need to keep in mind if you want to take full advantage of it. The credit depends on where EVs are made, and only vehicles manufactured in North America qualify. Not only that, but these vehicles must have an MSRP under $80,000 for an SUV or under $55,000 for a sedan or hatchback. You may still be able to get the credit on your taxes if you lease a vehicle instead of buying one. Additionally, plug-in hybrid vehicles may qualify for the credit, but traditional hybrid cars do not. There are also income limitations related to the tax credit. For those buying a new EV, the income limit for a single person or married couple filing separately is $150,000. For the head of household, the limit is $225,000, while for those married and filing jointly, it’s $300,000. For those buying a used EV, the income limit is half of those numbers.
Vikings staying on track and in control behind Sam Darnold’s composure and confidencePep Guardiola admits he is questioning himself after Man City lose to JuventusI have a confession to make, and I have a feeling I’m not alone. After devotedly watching the Star Wars movies in order since I was a kid, I’ve been pretty uninterested in Disney+’s offerings from the universe. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve definitely attempted to watch multiple shows from a galaxy far, far away on the streaming platform, from The Mandalorian Season 1 to Obi-Wan Kenobi . But considering each time I have for a few years now, I’ve found myself getting either pretty bored, confused or disappointed, I’ve simply decided the franchise is no longer my thing. That is, until this year rolled along. Of course, this is just my perspective. If you’re a mega Star Wars fan who is just like "Give it all to me all the time," my take probably won’t mean much to you. But if you do align with me in any way (and given conversations I’ve had with family and friends), I definitely don’t think this is a ‘just me’ thing, I want to talk about why Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is the show that’s finally reeling me back in, and how The Acolyte played into that. The Force Is Strong With My Star Wars Fatigue As more of a casual Star Wars fan, I think the recent shows from the universe have 1) been too in the weeds for me regarding deep lore, and 2) just haven’t met the quality I came to love from the event films I’d look forward to every few years. Then there’s the biggie of there being something to be said about there just being too much Star Wars content to keep up with that I’ve hit the point of Star Wars fatigue. In the streaming age, I’ve noticed what tends to make a bang in pop culture in the world of movies and TV is when something can feel like a special “event”. Think Barbie or Wicked ! When something is being talked about to such a degree among the masses, I feel like I’m missing out if I don’t go out of my way to go see something in theaters or press play immediately. When Star Wars was purely movies, or even back when The Mandalorian started for example, they were that big of a deal. I would literally wake up a few hours earlier just to be the first to watch more Star Wars , and I’m not a morning person. Cut to five years later, my reaction is typically like, “Eh, new Star Wars premiere? I’ll just catch it later.” I’ve since proceeded to miss like five of them. I Tuned Into The Skeleton Crew Premiere, And I Could Feel It Finally Thawing Out But this past Monday I got the notification from my Disney+ app that the first two episodes of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew would be available to stream that evening. Since most of my shows left on the 2024 TV schedule have already come and gone at this point, I had some time to hit play that evening, and I am so happy I did. Rather than being asked to tune into a story about a character I have to watch The Clone Wars to understand, or get ready for yet another unneeded Skywalker Saga connection, Skeleton Crew feels like completely new and fresh territory for the franchise I didn’t have to do homework for. I clicked the second episode so quickly once the first ended, and was so sad when it ended after what felt like 10 minutes. CINEMABLEND NEWSLETTER Your Daily Blend of Entertainment News Star Wars: Skeleton Crew follows a young kid living in the Star Wars universe, in a Star Wars suburb specifically, who has a simple problem in the scope of what we’ve seen in the franchise. He needs to pass a career exam, but he sleeps in and takes another way to school in desperation. While taking the chaotic shortcut, he happens upon some sort of spacecraft, which, long story short, ends up taking him and some friends into hyperspace. I absolutely loved seeing a Star Wars series from the perspective of a group of kids without the politics or weight of the franchise on my back that also felt like a 1980s Steven Spielberg movie. It’s truly just a fun time, and it’s definitely teasing a larger storyline with excitingly big stakes to come. I’m all in! Once I was finished with the episodes, I even finally had the want and need to catch up on Andor . But, I Wouldn’t Have Given Skeleton Crew A Chance If It Wasn’t For The Acolyte So I’m stoked on Skeleton Crew , and perhaps Star Wars as a whole again, but I want to mention something else about my hero’s journey back to the franchise. Before I fell for the Skeleton Crew premiere earlier this week, I previously gave The Acolyte a shot. I had heard it was a show that didn’t lean on a character I was already supposed to have base knowledge about. Watching that allowed that initial spark of the franchise to jump out of me and feel alive again. Sure, The Acolyte led to a lot of backlash among Star Wars fans , including for its quick cancellation after our excitement for Season 2 was all the rage. I admittedly feel more on board for Skeleton Crew overall, but if it wasn’t for The Acolyte bringing some freshness into the universe to begin with, I don’t think I would have been back in my Star Wars era. I say this, because I think I realize what I want from the franchise now (and what seems to be happening overall) is a soft reboot. I want it to feel shiny again, and shows like The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew are finally doing that job. They are exploring new corners of the universe rather than mining characters from 1977 over and over and over again. Coming up in the near future, it seems like we’ll be getting a mix of both, and I’m happy that Star Wars may perhaps be catering to both casual and heavily-invested fans, and those who have been as fatigued about the expansiveness of the world as I have been. I just don't get why The Acolyte was axed so quickly, when it could have been the dawn of something new in its own right. I’m so excited for new episodes of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew premiere on Mondays for those with a Disney+ subscription like myself (or to catch The Acolyte if you missed it). You can also check out what upcoming Star Wars movies and TV shows are coming up here on CinemaBlend. I hope this adds some excitement if anyone has been in the same place as me with the franchise.
