Suspect Luigi Mangione is taken into the Blair County Courthouse on Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2024, in Hollidaysburg, Pa. | Benjamin B. Braun/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette via AP ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — The suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO struggled with deputies and shouted Tuesday while arriving for a court appearance in Pennsylvania, a day after he was arrested at a McDonald’s and charged with murder. Luigi Nicholas Mangione emerged from a patrol car, spun toward reporters and shouted something partly unintelligible referring to an “insult to the intelligence of the American people” while deputies pushed him inside. Prosecutors were beginning to take steps to bring Mangione back to New York to face a murder charge while new details emerged about his life and how he was captured. The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland real estate family was charged with murder hours after he was arrested in the Manhattan killing of Brian Thompson, who led the United States’ largest medical insurance company. At the brief hearing, defense lawyer Thomas Dickey informed the court that Mangione would not waive extradition to New York but instead wants a hearing on the issue. He has 14 days to challenge detention. Mangione, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, mostly stared straight ahead at the hearing, occasionally consulting papers, rocking in his chair or looking back at the gallery. At one point, he began to speak to respond to the court discussion but was quieted by his lawyer. Mangione likely was motivated by his anger with what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed, a law enforcement bulletin obtained by The Associated Press said. Suspect Luigi Mangione is taken into the Blair County Courthouse on Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2024, in Hollidaysburg, Pa. | Benjamin B. Braun/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette via AP He wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world and that profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin, based on a review of his hand-written notes and social media posts. Mangione called “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski a “political revolutionary” and may have found inspiration from the man who carried out a series of bombings while railing against modern society and technology, according to police bulletin. Mangione remained jailed in Pennsylvania, where he was initially charged with possession of an unlicensed firearm, forgery and providing false identification to police. Manhattan prosecutors have obtained an arrest warrant, a step that could help expedite his extradition from Pennsylvania. Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania — about 230 miles (about 370 kilometers) west of New York City — after a McDonald’s customer recognized him and notified an employee, authorities said. Officers found him sitting at a back table, wearing a blue medical mask and looking at a laptop, according to a Pennsylvania police criminal complaint. He initially gave them a fake ID, but when an officer asked Mangione whether he’d been to New York recently, he “became quiet and started to shake,” the complaint says. When he pulled his mask down at officers’ request, “we knew that was our guy,” rookie Officer Tyler Frye said. Images of Mangione released Tuesday by Pennsylvania State Police showed him pulling down his mask in the corner of the McDonald’s while holding what appeared to be hash browns and wearing a winter jacket and beanie. In another photo from a holding cell, he stood unsmiling with rumpled hair. New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Mangione was carrying a gun like the one used to kill Thompson and the same fake ID the shooter had used to check into a New York hostel, along with a passport and other fraudulent IDs. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Mangione also had a three-page, handwritten document that shows “some ill will toward corporate America.” A law enforcement official who wasn’t authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity said the document included a line in which Mangione claimed to have acted alone. “To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone,” the document said, according to the official. It also had a line that said, “I do apologize for any strife or traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.” Pennsylvania prosecutor Peter Weeks said in court that Mangione was found with a passport and $10,000 in cash, $2,000 of it in foreign currency. Mangione disputed the amount. Thompson, 50, was killed Wednesday as he walked alone to a Manhattan hotel for an investor conference. Police quickly came to see the shooting as a targeted attack by a gunman who appeared to wait for Thompson, came up behind him and fired a 9 mm pistol. Investigators have said “delay,” “deny” and “depose” were written on ammunition found near Thompson’s body. The words mimic “delay, deny, defend,” a phrase used to criticize the insurance industry. From surveillance video, New York investigators determined the shooter quickly fled the city, likely by bus. A grandson of a wealthy, self-made real estate developer and philanthropist, Mangione is a cousin of a current Maryland state legislator. Valedictorian at his elite Baltimore prep school, he went on to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a spokesperson said. “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” Mangione’s family said in a statement posted on social media late Monday by his cousin, Maryland Del. Nino Mangione. “We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.” From January to June 2022, Luigi Mangione lived at Surfbreak, a “co-living” space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Honolulu. Like other residents of the shared penthouse catering to remote workers, Mangione underwent a background check, said Josiah Ryan, a spokesperson for owner and founder R.J. Martin. “Luigi was just widely considered to be a great guy. There were no complaints,” Ryan said. “There was no sign that might point to these alleged crimes they’re saying he committed.” At Surfbreak, Martin learned Mangione had severe back pain from childhood that interfered with many aspects of his life, from surfing to romance, Ryan said. Mangione left Surfbreak to get surgery on the mainland, Ryan said, then later returned to Honolulu and rented an apartment. Martin stopped hearing from Mangione six months to a year ago. ___ Scolforo reported from Altoona and Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.

Hot on the heels of details of the supposed RTX 5070 Ti GPU come details of the next rung down in the rumoured Nvidia RTX 50 family of graphics cards. We give you the RTX 5070, the plain vanilla version and what could be a worryingly small step forward if this new "leak" is anything to go by. According to Benchlife (via Videocardz ), we're looking at 6,400 CUDA cores for the RTX 5070. That's well down on the 8,960 rumoured for the RTX 5070 Ti. Perhaps even more pertinently, it's just 9% more CUDA cores than the existing RTX 4070 and, indeed, fewer CUDA cores than the RTX 4070 Super , which rocks 7,168. Now, there is more to GPU performance than mere core count. There's clock speed, which you might expect to be up at least a little bit thanks to the transition from TSMC's N5 silicon to a revised N4 node for the Blackwell architecture that will underpin all GPUs in the RTX 50 lineup. That said, N4 is not a wholly new node compared to N5, more of an enhancement. Nvidia would have needed to make the jump to N3 for that. So, it may not be realistic to anticipate a huge jump in frequencies. That said, the new 5070 is rumoured to be rated at a board power of 250 W, which is a fair old step up on the 200 W of the 4070. So, we'll wait to see about those clock speeds and cross our fingers and toes that they're up a decent chunk. Then there's architecture. It may turn out that the Blackwell in the RTX 5070 is much more efficient than the Ada Lovelace technology in the RTX 4070 and indeed 4070 Super. So, Blackwell may do more work per clock cycle. Features like the RT cores for ray tracing and the Tensor cores for AI stuff may get a particularly big boost. In other words, the RT 4070's CUDA cores and broader per-unit performance probably won't be perfectly comparable with those of the RTX 4070 and 4070 Super. Even so, if all these rumours are correct, the gap between the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti in terms of CUDA core count is 40%, whereas the same metric for the RTX 4070 and 4070 Ti is just 30%. Go back to the RTX 3070 versus the RTX 3070 Ti and the gap was just 4%. Now it's supposedly going to be 40%. That only adds to the impression of a distinctly weak 70-series board this time around. The biggest gaming news, reviews and hardware deals Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team. If there's any good news in all this, it's that it could open the door for Intel to be competitive with the RTX 5070. As we reported earlier today, the latest rumours suggest that Intel's top Battlemage GPU for its second generation of Arc gaming graphics cards is aimed at RTX 4070 Super performance. If it achieves that, it might just be as fast or maybe even faster than the RTX 5070. Put another way, Nvidia's failure to move the game on at the '70 level could make for a much more competitive mid-range GPU market this time. AMD is likewise putting all its effort into mid-range focused GPUs for its next-gen RDNA 4 GPUs . So, there's a chance of a price war in the mid-range come the new year. OK, it's just a whisker of a chance. But a chance nonetheless. Best gaming PC : The top pre-built machines.

In April 2024, a young Muslim boy—a teenager—struggling with mental health challenges, attacked a priest. They labeled him a terrorist within hours, denied him bail. Yet just before this, a similar attack in Bondi by a non-Muslim grown man wasn’t labeled terrorism because they deemed the attacker’s mental health a valid excuse. Where was the justice then? And just days ago, a woman with a history of Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian hatred allegedly drove her car straight at Imam Wesam Charkawi in an apparent attempt on his life. What did the system do? Did it call her a terrorist? Did it deny her bail? No. They charged her with intimidation and set her free on bail. The same system that locks away Muslim youth for life under terrorism laws gave her a slap on the wrist. When a synagogue is attacked, they launch a national taskforce overnight to address terror threats. Yet for decades, Australian mosques have been burned to the ground , shot at , and desecrated ; Muslims have been stabbed and assaulted in the streets, and not even a whisper of a hate crime, let alone terrorism. Senior journalist Laura Tingle writes , it is also worth noting the very different treatment by our politicians of Muslim communities subject to very similar attacks over the past 10 years by our politicians. A 2021 study of 75 mosques across Australia by Charles Sturt University found that, over half (58.2 per cent) of participating mosques, or worshippers at them, had experienced targeted violence between 2014 and 2019. The political outrage seemed much more muted, to say the least. In over two decades, every person (bar one) convicted of terrorist act offences in Australia, including conspiracy, has been Muslim. Australia isn’t alone. Canada, which also imported the UK concept of “religiously motivated terrorism” two decades ago have avoided prosecuting racist nationalists with terrorism laws as one study showed. Those attacking our mosques say that it is because we are terrorists, but terrorism laws, and how they are used, are what characterise us that way . For over a decade, Scanlon surveys have repeatedly shown that Muslims are the “most disliked” and “least liked” minority in Australia. Yet, our political leaders continue to overlook these persistent and exceptional findings, silently implying that this is ‘to be expected’. Despite this, they manage to keep their hands clean of any visible blame. “It would be hard to change now that we have effectively been telling everyone your religion causes terrorism,” admitted one senior official after I asked him what would block the government from amending the law. This might be true but the real reason in my view is far more sinister. The terrorism laws in this country are not about justice—they are tools of foreign policy. They serve the interests of the US government and their allies, used to soften criticism and justify the billions poured into war machines, weapons companies, and alliances like AUKUS. They demand public support for genocide abroad and systemic oppression at home. AUKUS ministerial meeting, August 2024. The message is clear: Muslims are to be demonised, criminalised, and excluded from the protections offered to others. Vulnerable Muslim youth—children with mental health issues or disabilities—may be thrown into prisons for life under these laws. Meanwhile, offenders from other backgrounds are given leniency, compassion, and a second chance. This system is not broken. It is functioning exactly as it was designed to—protecting corporate interests, and reinforcing the colonial mindset that some lives matter more than others. It doesn’t just attack Muslims; it attacks the very soul of what it means to live in a just and equal society. If Australia wants to claim it is a land of fairness and multiculturalism, then the legal system must be stripped of its hypocrisy. Terrorism laws must be reviewed, reformed, and applied equally. The distinction from hate crime needs to be clarified. Vulnerabilities like youth, mental illness and disability need to be uniformly treated – whether terrorism or not. Anything less is not justice—it is oppression. And as long as this system continues to treat Muslims as second-class citizens, we must call it what it is: a betrayal of the very multicultural values it pretends to uphold.Overhead Cranes Market Size to Hit US$ 8.68 Billion by 2032, Owing to Rising Industrialization & Demand for Efficient Material Handling Solutions | Research by SNS Insider

AP Trending SummaryBrief at 10:31 p.m. ESTYes, it’s at a 20-man exhibition tournament in the offseason, but Scottie Scheffler added to his historic 2024 season with a ninth win as he ran away with the Hero World Challenge on Sunday in the Bahamas. The Hero is Tiger Woods’ annual event at the Albany resort where many of the top players in the world play to raise money for the Tiger Woods Foundation. While Woods didn’t play this year as he recovers from another back surgery, the field included Ludvig Aberg, Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Sahith Theegala and Tom Kim, among others. And for the second year in a row, Scheffler cruised to a win in his final appearance before the 2025 season kicks off in Hawaii. Advertisement Scheffler, who played four rounds in 25 under par, entered Sunday with only a one-shot lead before opening with three birdies on the first four holes. He was able to then easily carry that four-shot lead throughout the afternoon with a final round 64 to hold off Kim (19-under) and Thomas (18-under). Scheffler also did it while debuting a new putting grip, switching to a claw grip that puts more emphasis on the shoulders and less on the hands. Scheffler’s putting woes were a major issue in 2023 as he won just three events as world No. 1, and while his putting numbers improved to above average in his epic 2024 campaign, his stroke still cost him mightily at the U.S. Open and Open Championship. “I’m always looking for little ways to improve,” Scheffler said, “It’s something that (putting coach) Phil (Kenyon) had mentioned to me last year when we first started working together. Over the last couple of months it’s something that we fiddled around with and figured this is a good week for me to kind of try things out.” That putting stroke will be a big story in 2025, but for now, the focus remains on the cap it places on his historic 2024 campaign. Scheffler now has nine tournament wins, including the Masters, an Olympic gold medal, the Players Championship and the Tour Championship. All of the first eight wins were at either signature events, the FedEx Cup playoffs or the Olympics . While greats like Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson and Sam Snead won 10 or more tournaments in a year back in the 1940s and 1950s, reaching nine wins in a calendar year is rarified air in the modern era. Tiger Woods did it three times, including reaching 10 wins in 2000 and 2006, and Vijay Singh won nine tournaments in 2004. Now, Scheffler can join the club. The next question for Scheffler will be how long he can keep this incredible three-year run as the game’s best player alive. The 2025 season begins Jan. 2 at The Sentry in Hawaii.

Kagiso Rabada bats for South Africa as they clinch their spot in the World Test Championship final with a win over Pakistan. Photo: Getty Images But rarely has he delivered as dramatic a performance as he did with the bat to take South Africa to a two-wicket win over Pakistan. Rabada struck an unbeaten 31 overnight, as South Africa squeaked through to a dramatic first-test victory at Centurion and ensured themselves a place in the World Test Championship final at Lord’s in June. "There was a lot of pressure on today. This without doubt is the one innings that I will remember for the rest of my life," Rabada said after the rousing finish. Batting at No 10, Rabada came in just before lunch with his team in dire straits, having slumped from a winning position as they chased a modest target. South Africa needed 148 runs for victory and despite a nervy start looked on course at 96-4 before a sudden collapse saw them reduced to 99-8 and facing imminent defeat. But Rabada and Marco Jansen put on an unbeaten 51-run partnership including a host of elegant, flourishing shots that any established batter would have been proud of to haul the team over the line. The 29-year-old said he had a plan in his head and told Jansen so when he got to the crease. "When I came in, I said to him that I was going to look to be positive. Without any hesitation he said 'OK'. He had his own game-plan, his main thing was one ball at a time, play it on its merit, and that's what he did. He was a bit more orthodox, I was unorthodox, but it worked out." The pair took the score to 116-8 at lunch, but the odds were still stacked against them with Pakistan requiring only two more wickets and seamer Mohammed Abbas in full flight after taking six wickets in the innings. COMMON VICE At lunch, Jansen and Rabada huddled with coach Shukri Conrad in the corner as they shared their common vice – a puff on a cigarette. Conrad said he was refreshingly blunt with them: "Whatever they were going to do, they had to back themselves from the start. I said 'If you are going to go, then go balls to the wall, even if you get close, just continue with what you set out to do'." Rabada then came out and hit some lusty blows as he and his partner knocked off the remaining 32 runs needed. "There were little visions of Brian Charles there at times," Conrad joked, in a reference to West Indian great Brian Lara. "The main thing I was thinking about was to continue to stay positive. If I went into my shell and got out doing that, then I was going to be upset. If I went out being positive I would have accepted that," Rabada added. Meanwhile his captain, Temba Bavuma, hid for most of the drama after his dismissal sparked the earlier mini-collapse. "I was sulking in the toilet," he told a post-match press conference. "I didn’t know what to say to Marco and KG (Rabada) and KG sits next to me. I only came out when we needed about 15 runs to win." A teary Bavuma had no words for Rabada's feat when the changeroom celebrations kicked off. "I just jumped on him."None

Mark Cuban, the billionaire entrepreneur, has sparked a debate about the cost of medical education in the United States. Cuban has proposed an ambitious idea: free medical school for all students. According to him, it's not just possible but could result in long-term benefits for students and the entire health care system. What Did Cuban Say? Dumb. Really dumb. "The only way to create a successful career at the NIH ". So now you think working for a government agency is the path of "the renaissance man" in medicine? And you think the Harvard path is the only way to success ? And what UCLA does means everyone does... https://t.co/lWlE8O96Z9 Don't Miss: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart & Target – Last Chance to get 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share! Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved? The percentage may shock you . The conversation started in May when Dr. Anish Koka posted a video in which Vivek Ramaswamy talked about a perception that medicine no longer attracts the "best and brightest." In a tweet , Cuban challenged traditional notions about what it takes to succeed in the medical field. He proposed that the government could fund free medical education for under $2.5 billion a year. Cuban argues that math is straightforward, with fewer than 25,000 medical students in the U.S. and that the costs per student are generally under $100,000 annually. Why Free Medical School? Mark Cuban thinks the high cost of medical school keeps many people from applying. If medical school were free, more people from different backgrounds could become doctors and the overall quality of the field would improve. This would also help competent people who can't afford medical school or don't want to take on huge loans. See Also: It’s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — this alternative asset has outpaced the S&P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here’s how everyday investors are getting started. Cuban also sees opportunities for private sector involvement. Since technology like AI is changing health care , companies could pay for students' education if they agree to work for them after graduating. Cuban argues that this approach is more cost-effective than traditional recruitment and hiring practices. Making medical school free could benefit everyone. More doctors would make getting medical care easier and reduce wait times. People could catch and treat illnesses sooner, improving overall health and making life better for many Americans. A Strategic Cost-Saving Move? While $2.5 billion annually seems steep, Cuban frames this as an investment rather than an expense. By making medical education accessible, the health care system could attract top talent, reduce financial stress for aspiring doctors and deliver better societal outcomes. The long-term benefits, Cuban suggests, would outweigh the initial cost.

His idea raises some important questions about health care. Could the government or private companies make free medical school happen? Even though there are challenges, his plan offers a new way of thinking about solving big problems in health care. And lastly, Cuban's idea isn't just hypothetical. In February, Ruth Gottesman, the widow of Warren Buffett's colleague David Gottesman, donated $1 billion to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. This donation means medical students won't have to pay tuition anymore.

Head coach Rick Tocchet confirmed after morning skate that Demko will be in net when the Canucks host the St. Louis Blues. The 28-year-old netminder from San Diego, Calif., last played on April 24 when the Canucks bested the Nashville Predators in Game 1 of a first-round playoff series. He suffered an injury to the popliteus muscle in his knee during the game and has been working his way back ever since. A number of factors led to Demko starting Tuesday, Tocchet said. “You want him to feel comfortable. You want to, obviously, communicate with him,” he said. “(Kevin Lankinen) was playing well, too. So there wasn’t a pressing issue to get him in. But we want to get him in. We’re excited. Obviously he’s a huge part of our team.” Demko had a 35-14-2 record with a .918 save percentage, a 2.45 goals-against average and five shutouts in regular-season play last year and played in the all-star game for the second time in his career. The veteran goalie is managing his personal expectations as he returns to game action, however. “I think it’d be foolish to say that I’m going to come back and be perfectly sharp and feel like I have my ‘A’ game in game one. Obviously, that takes a little bit of time,” Demko told reporters last week. “Just seeing game reps and things is kind of a last step of fully doing rehab. So I’m not really putting an expectation on that. “Obviously, the way Lanks has played kind of takes a little bit of pressure off of myself to come in and not feel like I have to save the world.” Demko returned to Vancouver’s lineup last week, backing up Lankinen for games against the Columbus Blue Jackets and Tampa Bay Lightning. The Canucks signed Lankinen to a US$875,000 deal during training camp and the Finnish goaltender has split the crease with Arturs Silovs this season, backstopping Vancouver to a 14-8-4 record. Lankinen has been “unbelievable” this season, Demko said. “It’s been really fun to get to know him and be able to watch him play,” he said. “It’s a challenging position he was put in, coming into a new team and being able to manage the workload that he’s been given.” Demko’s return to the crease should act as motivation for the Canucks’ skaters as the team takes on the Blues, Tocchet said. “I think, when you look at the way Demmer has worked hard to get back, a lot of lonely times by himself, it should give guys juice that you want to play well in front of him,” the coach said. You’d be crazy not to. “Maybe there’s extra shot blocking, situations to get the puck in deep when we’re tired to give him a break, things like that. I think we need to do that tonight for him.”
