Elizabeth Holmes’ new prison worry: Being secretly photographed in custody

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:29:58 GMT

As Elizabeth Holmes prepares to surrender to a federal prison Tuesday, she should be devastated about saying good-bye to her two small children and filled with anxiety about spending the next 11 years incarcerated, an experience that Martha Stewart once described as “horrifying.”Jen Shah, another celebrity who preceded Holmes to federal prison, may have given the disgraced Theranos founder something else to worry about: The possibility that a member of the prison staff or a fellow prisoner, in possession of a contraband cell phone, could secretly photograph her and get those images leaked to the media.That’s what Shah, the former star of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” thinks happened to her, according to TMZ. She has demanded an investigation into how photos of her behind bars made it to the outside world earlier this month. The photos showed the reality TV star walking in the prison yard of the minimum-security federal prison camp in Bryan, T...

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:29:58 GMT

By Susie Blann and Elise Morton | Associated PressKYIV, Ukraine — The head of the Russian private military contractor Wagner claimed Thursday that his forces have started pulling out of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine and handing over control to the Russian military, days after he said Wagner troops had captured the ruined city.Yevgeny Prigozhin, a convicted criminal and Wagner’s millionaire owner with longtime links to Russian President Vladimir Putin, said in a video published on Telegram that the handover would be completed by June 1. Russia’s Defense Ministry didn’t confirm this and it wasn’t possible independently to verify whether Wagner’s pullout from the bombed-out city has begun after a nine-month battle that killed tens of thousands of people. Prigozhin said his troops would now rest in camps, repair equipment and await further orders.Ukraine’s deputy defense minister, Hanna Maliar, said Thursday that regular Russian troops had replaced Wagne...

Kurtenbach: LeBron James to the Warriors is a fun but terrible trade idea

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:29:58 GMT

LeBron James to the Warriors?I‘ve heard worse suggestions than the Warriors bypassing the half-measures and going all-in on old guys.But that doesn’t mean it should — or will — happen.Even if the Warriors are keen to trade Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, and Jonathan Kuminga for James — and that’s what it would take — Golden State would need to know how much James could play for them.Two years?One season?Intermittently at best?That last option seems most likely.Time waits for no man — not even the self-proclaimed king.James reportedly played the season’s final three months with a torn tendon in his foot. Anyone who watched him in the playoffs could see his left foot causing him problems. James even wore a 2005 edition of his signature Nike shoes — the LeBron II — in the Lakers’ series against the Warriors, as it undoubtedly provided more support and protection than the minimalist LeBron 20 sneakers Nike designed for him this past season.LeBron wears his t...

Want an authentic home? Channel grandma

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:29:58 GMT

This week I came down with a severe case of nostalgia. The word, from the Greek nostos (return home) and algos (pain), perfectly captures the bittersweet agony we feel when we long to return to the place we grew up. And can’t.What tripped this recent bout was a series of exercises design psychologist Toby Israel recommends in her new book “Designing-Women’s Lives: Transforming Place and Self” (ORO Editions, $30). Notably, Israel believes you can go home again — by design. If we want to channel the best from the past and not repeat the worst, we should reflect on the homes we knew growing up.“Everyone accepts that our family of origin influences the partners we choose and how we parent,” she explains over the phone, “but no one talks about how the physical home environment affects us. There again, we either model what we grew up with or do the reverse because we didn’t like it.” Minimalists are often the product of cluttered homes.Soon I am following her exercises, writin...

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:29:58 GMT

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Padraig Harrington didn’t intend for the PGA Championship to be a tuneup for the senior version a week later.It could be turning out that way.Harrington shot 8-under 64 in the first competitive round at the new Texas headquarters of the PGA of America for an early two-shot lead at the Senior PGA Championship on Thursday.The 51-year-old Irishman finished 7 over at Oak Hill with an 8-over 43 on the front nine Saturday. Par instead on that wayward nine would have meant a top-20 finish, but Harrington didn’t see it that way.“I was at least a week short in preparation,” Harrington said. “I felt I was getting into it last week, but I wasn’t there. I need to do a better job when I’m away from tournaments. So, last week it definitely helped me get where I am today, no doubt about it.”Japan’s Katsumasa Miyamoto shot 66, and Alex Cejka, Charlie Wi and Richard Green were another two shots back among the early finishers at PGA Frisco’s Fields Ranch E...
