His company may have gone public, but Ortega is determined not to. Never mind that the son of a railroad worker and a housemaid is now the second richest man in fashion (after Bernard Arnault of LVMH, the French fashion giant). Not a single remark of his has ever appeared in quotes in the press, and he has never given an interview. There were no known photographs of Ortega until very recently, and now there are only two....

Police spent 12 days searching for Phillips and his three young children Jayda Jin, 8, Maverick Callum-Phillips, 6, and Ember Phillips, 5.

The article by Fauci, along with Andrea M. Lerner, MD, MS, and Gregory K. Folkers, MS, MPH, was published in the Journals of the American Medical Association. The authors made it clear that there are preventative measures we all can, and must, take to prevent the spread of COVID-19. “As countries around the world seek to safely reopen businesses, schools, and other facets of society, mask use in the community to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2, in conjunction with other low-cost, low-tech, commonsense public health practices, is and will remain critical,” the article states....
The vehicle is the prized new Stryker wheeled troop carrier, advertised as the first fruit of the Army’s plan to transform itself into a lighter, go-anywhere-fast force. Worse still: the Army has known it might have a problem since February, but has kept quiet about it. An Army memo sent yesterday to the head of the Stryker program, and obtained by NEWSWEEK, reports: “Evidently this issue was first raised in February 2003....
The Department of Justice in Nevada announced on Wednesday that 40-year-old Scott F. Carpenter, a special agent with the FBI, “pleaded guilty to one count of conversion of government money.” According to a press release from the Department of Justice in Nevada, while Carpenter was employed as an FBI special agent for the bureau’s New York City Field Office, he was sent to Las Vegas to conduct an undercover operation from July 27 to July 31, 2017....
Zusi continues right back evolution Instead of settle for a point, FC Dallas took advantage of a lackluster Galaxy showing to produce a Kellyn Acosta winner shortly after those seemingly defensive-minded substitutions and grab all three points in the kind of victory that sets a perfect tone for what Pareja’s men are hoping is an MLS Cup-winning season. The LA Galaxy have more MLS Cups than anybody, but there wasn’t much seen on Saturday to suggest another trophy is on the way to StubHub Center this year....
Six executive branch agencies—the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, Defense, State and Commerce, along with the United States Trade Representative—unanimously recommended that the Chinese state-owned telecommunications company be blocked from providing international services involving the United States. “Today, more than ever, the life of the nation and its people runs on our telecommunications networks,” said John C. Demers, Assistant Attorney General for National Security said in a press release. “The security of our government and professional communications, as well as of our most private data, depends on our use of trusted partners from nations that share our values and our aspirations for humanity....
What started as a list of nine hand sanitizers in late June has sharply grown to more than 100, and just about every product was manufactured and bottled in Mexico, the federal agency’s website states. The FDA says methanol is not an approved ingredient for hand sanitizers as it has highly-toxic effects. “The agency is aware of adults and children ingesting hand sanitizer products contaminated with methanol that has led to recent adverse events including blindness, hospitalizations and death,” the FDA stated....
5-Star Players LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles. Not that you need a reason to start McCoy, but the Bears defense has allowed 5.1 yards per rush this year. He should run wild on Sunday night. Matt Forte, RB, Bears. While the Eagles run defense, unlike their pass defense, is solid, Forte is playing too well to sit. He’s gone over the century mark rushing in three straight games and is averaging 152....
Full moons refer to an astronomical phenomenon when the face of our natural satellite is fully illuminated by the sun, appearing like a perfect circle. This happens about once every month when the Earth is positioned directly between the sun and the moon. Technically, full moons occur at a specific moment in time—which will be 2:34 a.m. EST on Sunday, February 9, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac. However, the moon will appear full to the untrained eye for about 24 hours either side of this time....
Washington D.C. District Court Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell granted a preliminary injunction, stopping plans that would require more stringent work requirements on people seeking food stamps. The plan was estimated to cut as many as 700,000 people from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or roughly 2 percent of enrollees, according to The New York Times. “Especially now, as a global pandemic poses widespread health risks, guaranteeing that government officials at both the federal and state levels have flexibility to address the nutritional needs of residents and ensure their well-being through programs like SNAP, is essential,” Howell wrote in the ruling....
It was found in a ruling Monday for a lawsuit that challenged the U.S. Department of the Interior’s approval of the agreement filed by non-Indian casino owners in Florida. “Last night’s ruling was a victory for family-owned businesses like ours who pay their fair share in taxes and believe the free market should guide the business operations of gaming venues,” a spokesman for Magic City Casino said in a statement, according to Local10....
Hook sent over 100 emails to the firm of Sheppard, Mullen, Richter & Hampton which included foul and threatening language. “You just trashed your profession,” Wright said to Hook. “Tell you what, slick, this profession does not need you. I am going to do what I can to remove you from this profession.” When asked to resign Hook said, “I will not do that.” “Shut up,” Wright said. “I want you to resign from this profession....
Over the past year, two of the central bank’s top officials—Robert S. Kaplan, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, and Eric S. Rosengren, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston—each traded heavily as the bank took major steps to support financial markets amid the pandemic. David Wessel, a senior fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution who covered economics for 30 years with The Wall Street Journal, told Newsweek that the Fed’s move was “significant....
Of the 69 players who teed off in Medinah, Illinois, on Thursday, 67 of them finished with a score below par. Thomas and Kokrak were at the top of the pile, carding a 7-under 65. The former, who has not won a tournament since the World Golf Championship at Firestone a year ago, was surprised by his performance. “I probably would say that I had the worst warm-up I’ve ever had in my life this morning,” he told ESPN....
The owner and three employees of GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys, coerced victims into sexual acts when they were made to believe they were applying for modeling jobs, according to the Department of Justice. Court documents say the GirlsDoPorn staff recruited victims with “threats of force, fraud and coercion.” Financial records show the websites generated more than $17 million in revenue. The videographer, Matthew Wolfe, was arraigned Friday on multiple sex trafficking charges, including a charge of child pornography production involving a 16-year-old....
Despite playing at home in the first leg match of their Malaysia Cup semi-final tie, Felda United were held to a 1-1 draw by defending champions Kedah on Sunday. Kedah opened the scoring courtesy of a 60th-minute penalty by Brazilian forward Sandro da Silva, but substitute Hadin Azman equalised with minutes remaining on the clock. The hosts’ head coach Sathianathan Bhaskaran were able to field all four of his foreign players including talismanic Brazilian ace and former Kedah loanee Thiago Fernandes....
