    Judge who approved raid on Kansas newspaper has history of DUI arrests
    https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article278237263.html
    The Kansas magistrate judge who authorized a police raid of the Marion County Record newsroom over its probe into a local restaurateur’s drunken-driving record has her own hidden history of driving under the influence. Judge Laura Viar, who was appointed on Jan. 1 to fill a vacant 8th Judicial District magistrate seat, was arrested at least twice for DUI in two different Kansas counties in 2012, a Wichita Eagle investigation found. She was the lead prosecutor for Morris County at the time. Viar’s DUI history could face scrutiny because the warrant she approved for the controversial raid came in response to the Marion County Record digging into the DUI history of restaurant owner Kari Newell. The Viar-authorized raid came after Newell complained about the newspaper’s investigation into her criminal background. Marion County Attorney Joel Ensey said Wednesday that the warrant was ordered with “insufficient evidence” to establish a connection between the materials seized and the alleged crime. It’s unclear whether a judicial nominating commission that selected Viar for the magistrate position knew about her arrests and diversion. Members of the commission did not return calls from Eagle and Kansas City Star reporters. She would have been required to disclose both arrests in her application.

    LK-99 isn’t a superconductor — how science sleuths solved the mystery
    https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02585-7
    The conclusion dashes hopes that LK-99 — a compound of copper, lead, phosphorus and oxygen — marked the discovery of the first superconductor that works at room temperature and ambient pressure. Instead, studies have shown that impurities in the material — in particular, copper sulfide — were responsible for the sharp drops in electrical resistivity and partial levitation over a magnet, which looked similar to properties exhibited by superconductors.

    Harvard professor who studies dishonesty is accused of falsifying data
    https://www.npr.org/2023/06/26/1184289296/harvard-professor-dishonesty-francesca-gino
    Francesca Gino, a prominent professor at Harvard Business School known for researching dishonesty and unethical behavior, has been accused of submitting work that contained falsified results. Gino has authored dozens of captivating studies in the field of behavioral science — consulting for some of the world's biggest companies like Goldman Sachs and Google, as well as dispensing advice on news outlets, like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and even NPR. But over the past two weeks, several people, including a colleague, came forward with claims that Gino tampered with data in at least four papers. Gino is currently on administrative leave. Harvard Business School declined to comment on when that decision was made as well as the allegations in general.

    Landlords challenge New York’s longstanding rent-stabilization regime - SCOTUSblog
    https://www.scotusblog.com/2023/07/landlords-challenge-new-yorks-longstanding-rent-stabilization-regime/
    Rents in New York City are among the highest in the country and rising. According to a report from brokerage firm Douglas Elliman, median rents in Manhattan reached a record high in May of $4,395 per month. Meanwhile, only a handful of residential units in the city are rent-controlled, subject to tight limits on increases in rent. Roughly a third of New York’s housing stock qualifies for a decades-old regulatory regime known as rent stabilization, however, which comes with more modest limits on rent increases and a host of other tenant protections. This week, we highlight cert petitions that ask the court to consider, among other things, whether New York’s recently amended rent-stabilization law is, in effect, a “taking” of landlords’ property without “just compensation” in violation of the Fifth Amendment.

    Man killed by Philadelphia police never got out of his car, didn’t ‘lunge’ with a knife, police admit after lying for days
    https://www.inquirer.com/crime/kensington-police-shooting-philadelphia-eddie-irizarry-20230816.html
    New questions have emerged about the fatal police shooting of 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry in North Philadelphia this week after the Police Department changed its narrative of the events leading up to his death. At the scene of the shooting Monday, police first said Irizarry emerged from his car after a traffic stop with a knife in his hand and “lunged” at police, before an officer shot him multiple times, killing him. But on Tuesday night, the department offered a new and different account of the shooting, saying Irizarry did not flee the traffic stop, never lunged at officers with a weapon, and was seated in his car when they shot him.

    In latest troubles, top UM athletics booster John Ruiz faces $67 million lawsuit
    https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article278253023.html
    The health-insurance claims company founded by lawyer John H. Ruiz, a top financial booster of University of Miami athletics, faces another legal challenge after a Miami healthcare provider filed a lawsuit last week saying that Ruiz’s company, LifeWallet, owes it nearly $67 million. The civil action comes after LifeWallet acknowledged earlier this month that the publicly traded company is under investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and has been subpoenaed by a grand jury convened in the Southern District of Florida. A Miami Herald investigation last month first reported the parallel probes and issues with the company’s financial filings with the SEC. Cano Health is simultaneously being sued by LifeWallet. Cano is itself struggling. The primary healthcare provider, which caters to seniors covered by Medicare and private insurers, said in its quarterly filing with the SEC that it might not be able to continue operating and that it would be firing nearly 700 employees to cut costs. In its suit filed last Thursday, Cano alleges LifeWallet “is a sham and effectively a Ponzi scheme” that has made “misrepresentations” in contract agreements between the two companies. Cano argues that the company, which was founded under the name MSP Recovery, has used the value of health insurance claims it obtained from Cano and other companies to “prop up an absurdly over-inflated valuation.”
