This week Bush will shake his finger–before a group of top CEOs at the Regent Hotel on Wall Street. White House aides were characteristically tight-lipped about the contents of the speech, but GOP sources say that the president will likely support criminal charges for corporate officials who engage in dodgy accounting or file misleading or late papers to the government, and make CEOs and members of corporate boards more accountable for their companies’ actions....
Has gold lost its glitter for good? The debate rages, and it affects everyone from miners in Johannesburg to traders in New York. Some financial analysts are promoting a “new paradigm,” which relegates gold to a stodgy, old economic order. By this thinking, gold’s traditional role as a hedge against bad times has been overtaken by more sophisticated financial tools. These range from the relatively simple, like inflation-indexed Treasury bills, to mind-numbingly complex derivatives....

Bellemare, with his Vegas Golden Knights trailing 2-0, took control of the puck in the Canadiens defensive zone. With a new line coming onto the ice, Bellemare, rather than turning it over, made an effort to drive to the net. That meant going through the three Montreal players that stood in his way. Bellemare twisted Petry inside-out by passing to himself through the skates of the Montreal player before finishing the sequence for his second goal of the year....
The opening show ahead of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night was incredible.

The Open starts July 17, and Mickelson is following a familiar path. He won the Scottish Open last year and returns to that event this week. Play begins Thursday at Royal Aberdeen Golf Club, where Lefty gets to hone his game for links play. And that means making the best of what is usually lousy weather by PGA Tour standards.

It’s been awhile since golf featured this much young talent, which makes the game as exciting as it’s ever been. Rory McIlroy entrenched his name among the game’s best after winning four majors before the age of 26. Then, Jordan Spieth, 22, and Jason Day, 28, separated themselves from the pack after dazzling fans with their stellar play last season.

In a five minute span, Wiltjer drains 70 of 75 three-point attempts. That’s 93% accuracy for the non-math majors. MORE: Preseason Top 25 Perhaps the most impressive part of the ex-Kentucky player’s drill is the complete silence. There’s hardly the clanking of rim or the squelch of his basketball rubbing up against the backboard. Just silence. WIltjer says in the video’s caption that he has another series of similar performances coming, and that he’s “going to try to break some shooting records in the next couple of days....
The team worked until the wee hours of Sunday morning running simulation programs for potential setups as the team struggled throughout practice Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway. With extra time in the garage Sunday morning because teams can’t work on their cars after final practice since the Nationwide Series teams were on the track and there are no garages, Edwards' team used that time to make the car better.

It was last May at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, when Nintendo said that it would ship the GameCube on Nov. 5, three days before the Nov. 8 release of Microsoft’s first-ever videogame machine, the Xbox. According to Peter Main, vice president of sales and marketing for Nintendo of America, the brief delay will enable it to meet demand by increasing its first-day shipment numbers from 500,000 units to 700,000. “We noted the misfire that occurred one year ago when [Sony] came to market with 400,000 units [of PlayStation 2],” he said from the company’s annual Space World conference in Tokyo....

Previously, rumors about the shutdown began to make the rounds, but Google shut them down, saying it had no intention of shutting down Stadia. However, that stance seems to have changed, as Google has announced that Stadia will shut down in January of 2023. Phil Harrison, vice president and general manager of Stadia, shared the news in a blog post on September 29. Harrison said that Google is grateful to all of the gamers who have used Stadia....
Goop is famously known for going viral for often ridiculous reasons such as outrageous gift suggestions like vagina scented candles or questionable health advice. The brainchild of Gwyneth Paltrow has often faced criticism for marketing products and remedies that have been deemed harmful by medical professionals. Now the wellness and lifestyle brand has pulled another gaffe—this time, perhaps insulting, or at least mildly perturbing, all of San Francisco. In a brand new city guide published on the website this week, titled “what’s new and great in San Francisco,” Goop left readers scratching their heads when it listed a hotel 250 miles away as a city attraction....
Openly praising each other while slyly knifing a mutual foe can work for a while. Romney makes a useful foil. As depicted by McCain and Huckabee, the former governor of Massachusetts is the robo-candidate, the plastic pol who will say anything and spend as much as necessary to win. McCain and Huckabee, meanwhile, are the “authentic” ones, the anti-politicians who represent the change Americans crave, or seem to, judging from the turnout at the Iowa caucuses....
The State Department ordered U.S. ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland not to appear on Tuesday for a scheduled deposition with House impeachment investigators about President Donald Trump’s actions toward Ukraine. “I wish he would show up,” Kinzinger, who represents Illinois 16th District, said Tuesday during an interview with Fox News’ America’s Newsroom. Kinzinger suggested that testimony last week from Kurt Volker, Trump’s former special envoy to Ukraine, had not been damaging to the president and explained that he supports an “inquiry” into the Ukraine affair—just not an impeachment inquiry....
Buck, who is also the chairman of Colorado’s Republican Party, said young Americans are developing a “bailout mentality” as he and Randy Corporon, the host of Saturday’s Wake Up With Randy Corporon, chastised Congress and the Trump administration for “writing a blank check” to keep the lockdown economy afloat. Corporon and Buck ripped the “so-called stimulus” for now amounting to trillions rather billions of dollars while there has been “no consideration” for how millennials and Generation Z will face unemployment and staggering debt for decades to come....
