RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The woman who in 2006 falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of raping her – making national headlines that stirred tensions about race, class and the privilege of college athletes — has admitted publicly for the first time that she made up the story. Crystal Mangum, who is Black, said in an interview with the “Let’s Talk with Kat” podcast that she “made up a story that wasn’t true” about the white players who attended a party where she was hired to perform as a stripper “because I wanted validation from people and not from God.” “I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t and that was wrong,” Mangum, 46, said in the interview, which was released Monday. The interview was recorded last month at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women, where Mangum is incarcerated for fatally stabbing her boyfriend in 2011. The former Duke players were declared innocent in 2007 after Mangum’s story fell apart under legal scrutiny. The state attorney general’s office concluded there was no credible evidence an attack ever occurred, and its investigation found no DNA, witness or other evidence to confirm Mangum’s story. The Durham prosecutor who championed Mangum’s case was disbarred for lying and misconduct. Prosecutors at the time declined to press charges against Mangum for the false accusations.

Mangum, who was convicted of second-degree murder in 2013 and is eligible to be released from prison as early as 2026, told the podcast interviewer that she hopes the three falsely accused men can forgive her. “I want them to know that I love them and they didn’t deserve that,” she said. Durham-based podcaster Kat DePasquale said she wrote to Mangum because she was curious about the case that got so much attention, and that Mangum wrote back saying she wanted to talk.China opens investigation into Nvidia over potential antitrust violationsonline games y8 。

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a bloc of nine nations if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. His threat was directed at countries in the so-called BRIC alliance, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates. Turkey, Azerbaijan and Malaysia have applied to become members and several other countries have expressed interest in joining. While the U.S. dollar is by far the most-used currency in global business and has survived past challenges to its preeminence, members of the alliance and other developing nations say they are fed up with America’s dominance of the global financial system . The dollar represents roughly 58% of the world’s foreign exchange reserves, according to the IMF and major commodities like oil are still primarily bought and sold using dollars. The dollar's dominance is threatened, however, with BRICS' growing share of GDP and the alliance's intent to trade in non-dollar currencies — a process known as de-dollarization. Trump, in a Truth Social post, said: “We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy." At a summit of BRIC nations in October, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the U.S. of “weaponizing” the dollar and described it as a “big mistake.” “It’s not us who refuse to use the dollar,” Putin said at the time. “But if they don’t let us work, what can we do? We are forced to search for alternatives.” Russia has specifically pushed for the creation of a new payment system that would offer an alternative to the global bank messaging network, SWIFT, and allow Moscow to dodge Western sanctions and trade with partners. Trump said there is "no chance" BRIC will replace the U.S. dollar in global trade and any country that tries to make that happen "should wave goodbye to America.” Research shows that the U.S. dollar's role as the primary global reserve currency is not threatened in the near future. An Atlantic Council model that assesses the dollar’s place as the primary global reserve currency states the dollar is “secure in the near and medium term” and continues to dominate other currencies. Trump's latest tariff threat comes after he threatened to slap 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, and an additional 10% tax on goods from China, as a way to force the countries to do more to halt the flow of illegal immigration and drugs into the U.S. He has since held a call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who said Thursday she is confident that a tariff war with the United States can be averted. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau returned home Saturday after meeting Trump, without assurances the president-elect will back away from threatened tariffs on Canada.Aflac Incorporated to Webcast 2024 Financial Analysts Briefing

he suspect arrested in connection with the last week has been identified as Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from Towson, Maryland. Mangione was taken into custody in Altoona, Penn., on Dec. 9 after he was recognized at a McDonald's and reported to local authorities. Police found Mangione in possession of a fake New Jersey ID that matches the one used by the suspect to check into a hostel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan 10 days before the shooting. Police also recovered a firearm similar to the one used in the killing, a silencer, and a three-page handwritten manifesto that investigators say sheds light on his motivations, though its specific contents have not been revealed. The reported that the document criticized health care companies for putting profits above care. “We don’t think there’s any specific threats to other people mentioned in that document, but it does seem that he has some ill will towards corporate America,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. Mangione is facing firearms charges in Pennsylvania, but has not yet been formally charged in connection with Thompson's death on Dec. 4. The shooting of Thompson, 50, was described by New York Police Department officials as a “premeditated, preplanned targeted attack.” Thompson was outside the New York Hilton Midtown when he was shot multiple times, including once in the back and once in the right calf, as he made his way to the company’s annual investor conference conference. The shooter, who was wearing a mask, fled the scene on foot and later hopped on a bicycle into Central Park. A backpack believed to be owned by the gunman was later recovered by police in Central Park. It contained Monopoly money. Investigators recovered shell casings at the scene, which were engraved with the words “deny,” “delay,” and “depose,” a cryptic message that has raised questions about the shooter’s motives. Here’s what to know about Mangione. Mangione graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2020 with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science, a spokesperson for the University told the . Authorities confirmed that the 26-year-old suspect attended college in Pennsylvania. During Mangione’s time at Penn, he served as a teaching assistant, head of the recitation committee, and co-founded the university’s Game Research And Development Environment club, according to his LinkedIn profile. He is quoted in a posted by Penn Engineering as saying that he decided to major in computer science because he wanted to make video games. Mangione’s social media posts suggest that he belonged to the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi. While in college, he was employed as a head counselor in the Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies Program from May through September of 2019. In 2016, he graduated from Gilman School, an all-boys private high school in the Baltimore area, where he wrestled and became valedictorian. Mangione has held various tech jobs and internships since he was in high school, and was employed as a data engineer for TrueCar, a car shopping website, since Nov. 2020, according to his LinkedIn profile. While in high school, he was co-founder and lead programmer for AppRoar Studios, a gaming app development company in Baltimore. He also held a robotics research internship at Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering and a UI programming internship at Firaxis Games, a Baltimore-based video game developer. Investigators said he was last known to be living in Honolulu, Hawaii. Mangione has no prior criminal record in New York. He is believed to have traveled to New York City by bus in late November, and later arrived in Altoona by Greyhound from Philadelphia, investigators said. Social media profiles that appear to belong to Mangione show that he subscribed to anti-capitalist causes and had previously expressed admiration for the notorious Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, a former mathematics professor who carried out a nationwide bombing campaign in the United States from 1978 to 1995. Mangione had written on Goodreads that Kaczynski’s anti-technology essay, “Industrial Society and Its Future,” contained prescient insights into modern society, though he condemned the violent methods used by the Unabomber. The reviewer wrote: "It's easy to quickly and thoughtless[ly] write this off as the manifesto of a lunatic, in order to avoid facing some of the uncomfortable problems it identifies. But it's simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out." In the months leading up to the attack, Mangione frequently posted on X about the negative health consequences of modern technology. He shared content from prominent figures in the wellness and self-improvement spheres, including Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist known for his health podcast, and Tim Ferriss, the entrepreneur behind . Mangione expressed concern over the negative health consequences of modern life, often reposting material from writers like Michael Pollan, who critiques processed foods, and Jonathan Haidt, a sociologist who has examined the impact of smartphones on young people.

TeraWulf Announces Promotion of Sean Farrell to Chief Operating OfficerIn the absence of an Australian international motor show for over a decade, continues to lead the way among mainstream auto brands when it comes to interactive customer events at racetracks. or signup to continue reading The sold-out attracted almost 500 enthusiasts last weekend at Queensland's Morgan Park Raceway, when 483 participants and 276 N-cars descended on the testing rural circuit two hours west of Brisbane. That's less than the circa-1800 Hyundai fans and almost 500 N-cars that attended the record-setting N Festival at Sydney Motorsport Park last year, but the sixth annual N-car gathering (and the first at Morgan Park) saw the main street of Warwick closed for a group photo as 145 N vehicles hit the small local town on Sunday morning. On top of 120 customer cars on track each day, 77 participated in roll racing on Saturday evening, follow by a social meet-and-greet attracting 120 enthusiasts. In addition, there were 266 passenger ride sign-ons over the weekend, along with 73 on-track N model test drives, hot laps for 55 passenger and 47 show'n'shine entries. All this was preceded by an N road drive that attracted 91 N-cars and 151 people, while 35 per cent of track-day sign-ons were first-timers at a racetrack. Special guests included former Hyundai N boss Albert Biermann, who showed a rapid turn of speed in the Ioniq 5 N, and other off-track activities included the N WRC Heritage Exhibition, N Tech Garage, N Tech Talks, N Performance accessories display, N merchandise store, genuine service wheels workshop and more. Some participants came from as far away as Sydney and, unlike similar events held by a number of premium auto brands in Australia, track-goers at the N Fest paid only a $50 entry fee and a $25 AASA licence fee per day. It's not known how many sales the Korean car-maker generated from the weekend, but the latest instalment of what's now the biggest auto brand event series of its type in Australia is believed to have cost Hyundai around $200,000, plus the 12-month loan of a Santa Fe course to Morgan Park Raceway. After similar events abroad, Australia's first N Festival was held in 2019 at Wakefield Park west of Sydney (now known as One Raceway), followed by Queensland Raceway in 2020, Winton Raceway (Victoria) in 2021, and The Bend Motorsport Park in South Australia in 2022.

Tickets for a Kings of Leon gig in Cardiff have gone on presale, but a licensing application to allow tens of thousands more to watch it at a popular park still hasn't been approved. Plans were recently announced for Blackweir Fields to be used for music events from next summer. DEPOT Live has partnered with Cuffe and Taylor for the Blackweir Live event which will feature a Kings of Leon gig on June 29, 2025. Blackweir Fields is well used for sports and leisure, particularly cricket. Bute Park is currently covered by a licence that allows for events with a capacity of 25,000 people. However, the intention is for Blackweir Live events to have a capacity of 35,000. A new licence from the local authority would be needed for this. A council spokesperson said: “Live music is central to our vision for Cardiff and the Blackweir Live events will help cement Cardiff’s status as a must-play destination for major artists, delivering significant economic benefits for the city, as well as providing the council with vital income to help us continue promoting the city as a music destination, and to invest in our parks." For more Cardiff stories, sign up to our newsletter here . “Blackweir Fields is an established events space and has successfully hosted large-scale events, including activities as part of the Olympics and the Eisteddfod in the past. The site is already covered by the current Bute Park licence which allows for a wide range of events with a capacity of up to 25,000 people and has previously seen thousands of people enjoy music events, such as the X Music Festival and KissStory, in the park. “Due to the increased capacity proposed for the Blackweir Live events a new licence application is required. Once this application has been made, it will be advertised to the public in line with all legal requirements. Key stakeholders in the park, including businesses, sports clubs and the Friends of Bute Park have already been made fully aware of the proposed events. “Blackweir Live is a privately managed event and decisions around the timing of ticket sales are a matter for the event promoter, however it is common practice across the music industry for ticket sales to begin before licencing arrangements have been finalised." Cuffe and Taylor and Cardiff-based DEPOT Live have presented a number of live music events at Cardiff Castle over the past two years. The partnership's intention is to have Blackweir Live debut in 2025 with four headline gigs. Kings of Leon tickets went on presale on Wednesday, December 4. The majority of Bute Park will still be accessible when there is a Blackweir Live gig on, but public access to Blackweir Fields will be restricted during the event and for a limited period either side of it to allow for everything to be set up and taken down. Cardiff Council said special care was being taken to protect the cricket squares on Blackweir Fields from damage. It added that the technology used at Blackweir would be the same as used when high profile cricket grounds such as Old Trafford hosted events.
