FTC votes to ban noncompete agreements for most workers: U.S. companies would no longer be able to bar employees from taking jobs with competitors under a rule ...

apnews.com/article/jobs-employers-noncompete-agreements-economy-pay-4d7b3eb8e143cfd52025c7f2f5259fc4

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

Quick Glance: Sibling Fatally Hit by Car at Birthday Party

A young brother and sister died, and several people were injured, some seriously, when a vehicle driven by a suspected drunken driver crashed into a young child's birthday party at a boat club in Berlin Township, Michigan, on Saturday.

An 8-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother died in the crash, as a 66-year-old woman drove about 25 feet into the building, according to Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough.

Three children and six adults were taken to hospitals with life-threatening injuries, while others received first aid on site and some were transported by private vehicles.

The driver was taken into custody and is suspected of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol causing death. Further charges may be pending as the investigation continues.

Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil

The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

In the Security Council, 12 countries voted for a UN resolution recommending full Palestinian membership, with the US opposing and two countries abstaining.

The US argued that Palestinian membership should result from negotiations between Israel and Palestinians to enable a two-state solution.

The Palestinian delegation emphasized that UN membership is a crucial step for peace in the region and criticized the Israeli government for its rejection.

Israel rejected the resolution and warned of its potential impact on future dialogues, especially in light of the recent escalation of violence in Gaza.

Donald Trump: How he becomes the star of a political thriller: A criminal trial that would make screenwriters green with envy begins in New York ...

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

On the day UK introduced Mark Pope, it was Kentucky fans who made a statement

Quick Glance: Enthusiastic Kentucky Fans Welcome Mark Pope as New Wildcats Coach at Rupp Arena

Mark Pope's debut game as Kentucky's coach is still over six months away. However, the manner in which fans packed Rupp Arena for his unveiling as UK's new men's basketball coach would surprise those unfamiliar with the sport's calendar, considering the 2024-25 season doesn't commence until November.

Rupp Arena accommodates 20,500 spectators. The lower section of the venue features 10,000 theater-style seats, all of which were occupied. The upper section, with an additional 10,500 seats, took longer to fill, but by the time Pope was formally introduced at 4:54 p.m. on Sunday, not a single seat was vacant.

All of this to greet back a beloved figure.

"We witness these introductory press conferences frequently," Pope remarked. "No individual worldwide has ever witnessed a spectacle like this."

Quick Glance: 'Rust' Armorer Sentenced to 18 Months in Fatal Shooting

Former 'Rust' movie armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was sentenced to 18 months in prison by the New Mexico District Court Judge.

The incident that shocked the film industry is believed to mark the first instance in recent history of a member of a film crew or cast being fatally injured by a live round mistakenly loaded into a firearm.

Baldwin's trial is scheduled for July 10 following his indictment for involuntary manslaughter in January.

Initially, Hutchins' death led to a halt in the use of real firearms and blank ammunition by US film and television productions, but many have resumed usage due to the authenticity they provide.
