Shares of ASP Isotopes Inc. ($ASPI) were down over 15% in mid-day trading on Wednesday, tracking a third straight day of losses following short seller Fuzzy Panda’s accusations of fraud and failed technology. The advanced materials company responded saying that the report includes “speculative conjecture” and claims that are “inaccurate or filled with innuendo” in an attempt to mislead investors. ASP Isotopes also revealed that it is in the process of commissioning three isotope enrichment facilities in South Africa, rebutting Fuzzy Panda’s allegations of failed technology. The first facility will enrich Carbon-14 for use in healthcare and agrochemicals, while the second will enrich Silicon-28, which the company believes will enable faster, more efficient semiconductors for use in artificial intelligence and quantum computing. The third facility is scheduled to enrich Ytterbium-176, a critically important raw material used in the production of radio-oncology therapies like Novarits’ Pluvicto. “Hopefully it will start producing products in the first half of next year,” CEO Paul Mann said in an interview Wednesday morning. Majority of the retail investors polled on Stocktwits believe the dip in ASI Isotope’s stock is a great buying opportunity. However, some users on the platform are hoping for a more robust response from the company beyond the press release that doesn’t address Fuzzy Panda’s specific accusations. Another user thinks that the report doesn’t necessarily need a strong response. On Tuesday, Fuzzy Panda accused ASP Isotopes of relying on AVLIS technology, which it claimed was deemed commercially unviable after 1990s U.S. Department of Energy trials. The short seller also alleged links to individuals involved in microcap fraud and “paid stock promotion in Uranium” while noting some of ASP’s South African subsidiaries were untraceable at their registered addresses. On Stocktwits, the stock saw a 706% surge in message volume and a 6.77% rise in watchers in the past 24 hours, making it the most active materials stock during the period. While ASP Isotope’s stock has tumbled nearly 45% in the last three trading sessions, the stock is still up 198% so far this year.

Selden scores 29, Gardner-Webb takes down Bethune-Cookman 79-64Skopje (North Macedonia), Dec 7 (AP) A political party in North Macedonia on Saturday demanded authorities ban social networks whose content incites violence and self-destructive behaviour after several young people were seriously injured in connection with the popular “Superman challenge” on TikTok. Health authorities said at least 17 students, ages 10 to 17, were brought to hospitals in the capital Skopje and other towns over the past week with broken bones, contusions and bruises. The children were injured after being thrown into the air by their friends to fly like superheroes and get applause on the internet. The Liberal-Democratic Party, which was part of the left-led coalition that ruled the country from 2016 to earlier in 2024, issued a press statement Saturday strongly condemning “the irresponsible spread of dangerous content on social media, such as the latest TikTok 'challenge' known as Superman, which has injured six children across (the country) in the past 24 hours”. “The lack of adequate control over the content of social media allows such games' to reach the most vulnerable users,” the party statement said. It demanded the “immediate introduction of measures to ban content that incites violence and self-destructive behaviour, increase surveillance, and sanction platforms that enable dangerous trends”. North Macedonia's education minister Vesna Janevska said students should focus on education, not TikTok challenges. “The ban on mobile phones in schools will not have an effect. Phones will be available to children in their homes, neighbourhoods and other environments,” she said. Psychologists have warned that the desire to be “in” with the trends on social networks, combined with excessive use of mobile phones, is the main reason for the rise in risky behaviours among children. They urged parents and schools to talk with students. (AP) PY PY (This story has not been edited by THE WEEK and is auto-generated from PTI)
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A seismic change is coming for Miami Hurricanes basketball, as longtime coach Jim Larrañaga is stepping down after more than 13 seasons at the helm in Coral Gables, the veteran coach announced Thursday. Bill Courtney, Larrañaga’s associate head coach, is expected to take over as the team’s interim coach, the school announced. Larrañaga, 75, has been Miami’s head coach since 2011-12 and led the team to its best performance in the NCAA Tournament in 2023. But this year’s team is off to a disastrous 4-8 start, including disappointing home losses to Charleston Southern and Mount St. Mary’s. “I love the game,” Larrañaga said. “I’ve loved coaching it. I love practice every day. I love working with the players. But because I love the game and I love the university that much, I felt like, OK, there’s one thing you’ve got to constantly ask yourself: Are you going to give everything you have, the commitment that it deserves, 100 percent of yourself, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually? “And quite frankly, I’ve tried to do that throughout my life an throughout my time here, but I’m exhausted.” Larrañaga was under contract through the 2026-27 season, but he cited the challenge of coaching in college basketball’s changing environment as the reason why he ultimately decided he had enough. Athletic director Dan Radakovich said Larrañaga informed him of his decision on Sunday, and Radakovich tried to persuade him to stay. On Monday, Larrañaga informed Radakovich of his final decision. The UM AD said the decision was purely Larrañaga’s, and the athletic department is going to work with Larrañaga to keep him involved with the program. “Of course, my admiration for Jim and our basketball program, I certainly asked him to reconsider, talked through a number of items,” Radakovich said. “But as I was going through my little spiel, I could tell that maybe this mind was already made up. But I felt like I had to do it, and it was important for me to do that. But certainly respecting the decision that he made and allowing us to be in the position that we are, the great history that he’s brought here to the University of Miami lays a great foundation for us to move forward.” Larrañaga is the winningest coach in the program’s history, putting together a 274-174 record at UM. He took the Hurricanes to the Final Four for the first time in 2023 after an Elite Eight run in 2022. He took Miami to the NCAA Tournament six times in his 14-year tenure. But Larrañaga said after the Hurricanes’ run to the Final Four, eight players came to him and told him they intended to transfer to seek more money elsewhere. “What shocked me beyond belief was after we made it to the Final Four, just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their name in the portal and leave,” Larrañaga said. “I said, ‘Don’t you like it here?’ (They said), ‘No, I love it. I love Miami. It’s great.’ “But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to begin to ask yourself, as a coach, what is this all about? And the answer is it’s become professional.” Another ACC coaching legend, former Virginia coach Tony Bennett, gave a similar reason for stepping down in October. “I talk to a lot of my friends, and they’re having all the same problems I’m having,” Larrañaga said. ‘How long they will last is anybody’s guess.” The Hurricanes struggled massively at the end of the 2023-24 season, losing their final 10 games. This season started out promising with three straight wins, but a group built around promising freshmen and transfers has lost eight of its last nine games. “We should be competing for an ACC championship or even a national championship on a fairly consistent basis, and I thought we were doing that and we were moving closer and closer to being able to do it, and then this happened,” Larrañaga said. “Going into this year, I just felt like, ‘OK, we need to get back to where we were.’ I’ve got a great group of kids. It’s not their problem. It’s the system now, or the lack of a system. I didn’t know how to navigate through this. ... I’m all for transferring, but what the portal created is transferring every year.” Larrañaga’s Hurricanes teams produced multiple NBA players, including Bruce Brown Jr., Lonnie Walker, Shane Larkin, Jordan Miller, Davon Reed, Isaiah Wong, Dewan Hernandez and, most recently, Kyshawn George. “Thank you,” former Miami basketball player Anthony Walker wrote on social media. “You have molded me into not only the basketball player I wanted to be but a person, as well. The lessons you have taught me throughout the years will never be forgotten. (You are) a living legend, coach L. Glad that it gets to end on your terms. I love you.” ACC commissioner Jim Phillips released a statement, congratulating Larrañaga for his career. “Jim Larrañaga is a tremendous man who has left a mark as not only the most accomplished coach in Miami basketball history, but as one of the premier coaches in ACC history,” Phillips said. “His coaching record speaks for itself with over 700 career wins, but he always has led his program with the utmost integrity and class. He elevated the Miami program to new levels during his tenure, including a Final Four, and made lifelong impacts on his student-athletes through his lessons on the court and in life outside of the game. Our league has been better because of him and we will miss his presence and voice. We wish Jim, his wife Liz, and their family all the best in their next endeavor.” Larrañaga has a career record of 744-507 over a 41-year college career that also included coaching stints at American International, George Mason and Bowling Green. He led George Mason to the 2006 Final Four. “I just didn’t feel like that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous,” Larrañaga said. “With an agent saying to me, ‘Well you can get involved if you’re willing to go to a million-one (dollars). I’m like,’ What? A million dollars?’ And that be the norm. That was the norm. You’re talking to people that expect a million dollars for playing college basketball.” Radakovich said UM will have a “national” search for the next men’s basketball coach. “It’s a difficult atmosphere out there,” Radakovich said. “The lack of what Jim was just talking about — no collective bargaining, no limited antitrust exemption, all the things that you talk about and hear about in intercollegiate athletics has led to the symptoms that Jim just talked about. That has to be the longer-term view of what we need to have happen. Will that occur before we need to move forward and conduct a national search? I highly doubt it. “So we’re going to be looking at the attributes that the University of Miami can provide to a potential coach, looking at obviously, playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference, which is an incredible basketball league, and making sure we put our best foot forward to get someone that can come in, be a part of the community, part of the university but at the same time feel like they have the ability to navigate this world and the changing world that we’re in.” ©2024 South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The Australian Senate on Thursday began considering a ban on children younger than 16 years old from social media after the House of Representatives overwhelmingly supported the age restriction. The world-first bill that would make platforms including TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X and Instagram liable for fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($33 million) for systemic failures to prevent young children from holding accounts is likely to be passed by the Senate on Thursday, the Parliament’s final session for the year and potentially the last before elections, which are due within months. The major parties’ support for the ban all but guarantees the legislation will become law. But many child welfare and mental health advocates are concerned about unintended consequences. Unaligned Sen. Jacqui Lambie complained about the limited amount of time the government gave the Senate to debate the age restriction, which she described as “undercooked.” “I thought this was a good idea. A lot of people out there thought it was a good idea until we looked at the detail and, let’s be honest, there’s no detail,” Lambie told the Senate. The House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly carried the bill 102 votes to 13. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Once the legislation becomes law, the platforms would have one year to work out how they could implement the ban before penalties are enforced. The platforms complained that the law would be unworkable, and urged the Senate to delay the vote until at least June next year when a government-commissioned evaluation of age assurance technologies made its report on how young children could be excluded. Critics argue the government is attempting to convince parents it is protecting their children ahead of general elections due by May. The government hopes that voters will reward it for responding to parents’ concerns about their children’s addiction to social media. Some argue the legislation could cause more harm than it prevents. Criticisms include that the legislation was rushed through Parliament without adequate scrutiny, is ineffective, poses privacy risks for all users, and undermines parental authority to make decisions for their children. Opponents of the bill also argue the ban would isolate children, deprive them of the positive aspects of social media, drive them to the dark web, discourage children too young for social media to report harm and reduce incentives for platforms to improve online safety.

The most accomplished United States gymnast in the history of the Olympics made an appearance at the 2024 CMA Awards on Wednesday night. Simone Biles debuted a new look that left plenty of people speechless. Biles, a seven-time Olympic gold medalist, showed off her new bob haircut in Nashville. She wore a metallic-looking gown that included one shoulder sleeve. Just an hour after posting a few looks at her CMAs dress on Instagram, she received over 70,000 likes from her fans. Unsurprisingly, countless people complimented Biles' stunning dress. "I didn't think you could become even more beautiful than you already are," a fan said. "Our new look is divine." "Beautiful as always," an Instagram user wrote Another person said, "Obsessed with those boots." "You look stunning," a fourth person commented. View the original article to see embedded media. Prior to the start of the CMA Awards, Biles spoke to ABC about what she's been up to lately. Even though she is a big believer in resting a ton after competing for an event as rigorous as the Olympics, she couldn't pass up a chance to go to this week's show. "I try to rest as much as possible, but it's always fun to get opportunities to come and do stuff like this because it's fun walking the carpet and meeting new people," Biles said. "I love it." Taylor Hill/Getty Images There's a chance Biles will be back in the spotlight this Sunday when the Chicago Bears host the Minnesota Vikings. That is, of course, if she attends her husband's game. Jonathan Owens has recorded just three tackles in limited playing time this season. Judging by the social media reactions to Biles' new hairstyle, her fans would love to see her make an appearance at Soldier Field this weekend.
