Cameron Smith, this year’s British Open champ, is reportedly about to take the leap at least a dozen other golfers have made and join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series. Reports of Smith’s impending departure come from Australian golfer Cameron Percy. At the end of his triumphant run at the British Open last month, Smith bristled when asked whether he intended to join the new league. “I just won the British Open and you’re asking about that? I think that’s pretty not that good,” Smith said. Cameron Smith of Australia poses with the Claret Jug after winning The 150th Open at St Andrews Old Course on July 17, 2022, in St Andrews, Scotland. (Warren Little/Getty Images) When pressed, Smith remained non-committal. “I don’t know, mate. My team around me worries about all that stuff. I’m here to win golf tournaments,” Smith stated. Smith apparently will not be the only Australian jumping ship. Percy told Australian radio that Marc Leishman is also on his way … [Read more...] about ‘They’re Gone’: Cameron Smith, Marc Leishman Likely Bolting for LIV

HC Quashes Resolution Levying Surcharge on Educational Institutions
The Madras High Court has set aside a resolution of the Chennai and Coimbatore Corporations to levy 60 per cent surcharge on private unaided educational institutions in the two cities. Justice Anita Sumanth quashed the resolution, while allowing a batch of writ petitions from Good Shepherd Matriculation Higher Secondary School in Nungambakkam and 18 other schools in Chennai and one in Coimbatore, recently. The legal issue raised by the petitioner schools was whether the Chennai City and Coimbatore City Municipal Corporations have the authority to levy surcharge of 60 per cent of the tax payable on their buildings used for educational purposes. Petitioners senior counsel Father Xavier Arulraj drew the attention of the judge to an assessment made upon the schools and reiterated their readiness and promptness in remitting the half-yearly tax, as computed, though not surcharge, levied at the rate of 60 per cent. The enactment does not provide for the levy of surcharge and hence, there … [Read more...] about HC Quashes Resolution Levying Surcharge on Educational Institutions

The Billionaire’s Dilemma
Usually when rich people rage against the possibility that someone less wealthy might become their neighbor, nobody bats an eye. Why would they? NIMBYism is the dominant fact of American urban geography. But in recent years, a number of very rich people, including the billionaire investor Marc Andreessen, have positioned themselves on the other side of the debate, arguing against supply restrictions and deriding purportedly progressive places for failing to address the rising cost of housing. Andreessen is not just your run-of-the-mill billionaire; he’s the co-founder of the venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and a Silicon Valley bigwig. He helped fund Facebook, Skype, Lyft, Pinterest, Airbnb, Slack, Stripe, and Coinbase , earning a reputation as a kingmaker. He’s also known to have rough edges—passionate to the point of combative and notorious on Twitter for liberally blocking fans and critics alike—certainly not one to hold back his opinions. In an influential 2020 essay … [Read more...] about The Billionaire’s Dilemma
Tory contenders have so far neglected to mention our deepening social care crisis
Tomorrow night, Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss will go head-to-head again in their battle to lead our country. Conservative party members have the wellbeing of millions in their hands, but while the debate so far has centred on tax cuts and Brexit, they’ve neglected to mention the deepening crisis in social care. While Boris’ Government made strides in the right direction, including introducing a health and social care levy to tackle inadequate funding, warm words and promises are not enough . Only 14% of this funding has been directed towards social care, and as chief executive of Mencap, I understand why our new Prime Minister must prioritise what matters most and remedy the broken system. Statistics show that the number of vacancies in adult social care rose by 52% last year, with 165,000 vacant posts as of March 2022. There are approximately 1.5 million people with a learning disability in the UK who depend on social care support to live a fulfilling and independent life, … [Read more...] about Tory contenders have so far neglected to mention our deepening social care crisis
The FBI search of Mar-a-Lago and what it could mean for Donald Trump
Former president Donald Trump routinely ripped up papers while in office - and upon leaving the White House, took at least 15 boxes of official records with him to Florida (including documents clearly marked as classified). Now, as part of a federal investigation, the FBI conducted a court-approved search of Trump's residence at his Mar-a-Lago club on Monday. It is not clear what prompted the search, though people familiar with the investigation said it was related to the possible mishandling of classified documents. Any mishandling could be in violation of a law requiring Trump to preserve his records and phone calls of his official duties as president. If he were to be charged and found guilty of willfully hiding or destroying confidential and classified materials - a big if - some legal experts say he could be barred from being president again. Other experts disagree. --- What is the Presidential Records Act? One law Trump could potentially be accused of breaking by … [Read more...] about The FBI search of Mar-a-Lago and what it could mean for Donald Trump
Inside the evacuation of Atlanta’s airport
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Atlanta's airport was briefly evacuated on Wednesday over a suspicious package while U.S. law enforcement agencies and travelers were on edge a day after deadly suicide bombings by Islamist militants rocked Brussels. Passengers were ordered out of public areas of the domestic terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the United States' busiest by passenger volume, but the site was quickly cleared and operations resumed, airport officials said. Parts of Denver airport were also evacuated on Tuesday, hours after at least 31 people were killed and 271 wounded in attacks on Brussels airport and a rush-hour metro train, as airports across the United States tightened security. U.S. officials were trying to find Americans missing after the attacks, which the officials said injured about a dozen U.S. citizens including three Mormon missionaries, a U.S. Air Force airman, and four members of his family. Among those missing were U.S. government … [Read more...] about Inside the evacuation of Atlanta’s airport
