Article content OTTAWA — Canada got back in the win column at the world junior hockey championship. It wasn’t pretty. Oliver Bonk, Caden Price and Mathieu Cataford, into the empty net, scored as the wobbly host country picked up an unconvincing 3-0 victory over Germany on Sunday. Carter George made 25 saves to register the goaltender’s second straight shutout for the Canadians, who were coming off Friday’s stunning 3-2 upset loss to Latvia in a shootout. Nico Pertuch stopped 33 shots for Germany, which dropped its Group A opener at the men’s under-20 tournament to the United States 10-4 before falling 3-1 to Finland. Canada entered with a 17-0 record all-time and a combined 107-26 score against Germany at the world juniors, including last year’s 6-3 victory in Gothenburg, Sweden, and an 11-2 drubbing at the 2023 event in Halifax. Despite another sub-par performance, the victory sets up a New Year’s Eve matchup against the U.S. for first place in the pool after the Americans fell 4-3 to the Finns in overtime earlier Sunday. Canada suffered one of the powerhouse nation’s worst defeats in tournament history Friday when Latvia — outscored 41-4 in four previous meetings at the event — shocked the hockey world. And while the plucky Latvians were full marks for their victory, the Canadians were largely disjointed and surrendered the middle of the ice for long stretches despite firing 57 shots on goal. There was more of the same Sunday. Head coach Dave Cameron made a couple of changes to Canada’s lineup — one out of necessity and another for tactical reasons. With star defenceman Matthew Schaefer, who could go No. 1 at the 2025 NHL draft, out of the world juniors after suffering an upper-body injury against Latvia, Vancouver Canucks prospect Sawyer Mynio drew in. Cameron also sat forward Porter Martone in favour of Carson Rehkopf. Canada opened the scoring on the power play, which also had a new look after going 1-for-7 through the first two games, when Bonk scored from his normal bumper position in the slot off an Easton Cowan feed at 9:40 of the first period. Sam Dickinson then chimed a one-timer off the post on another man advantage before George, who was in goal for Canada’s 4-0 opener against the Finns, made a couple of stops on the penalty kill inside a red-clad Canadian Tire Centre. Petruch made a big stop off Tanner Howe in the second before also denying Calum Ritchie from the slot on a power play, but the Canadians again looked completely out of sorts against what was a decidedly inferior opponent on paper. Berkly Catton hit another post for Canada early in the third. Tanner Molendyk also found iron. Unable to register a 5-on-5 goal against either Latvia or Germany through more than 120 minutes of action, Price scored on a shot that caromed off the end boards and went in off Pertuch with 4:58 left in regulation to make it 2-0 before Cataford iced it into the empty net on another nervy night for the 20-time gold medallists. LATVIAN REACTION The U.S. beat Latvia 5-1 on Saturday, less than 24 hours after the Europeans’ upset of Canada. American captain Ryan Leonard said the Latvians were impressive — even on short rest. “That team’s no joke,” said the Washington Capitals prospect. “You can’t really treat anyone different, especially in this short of a tournament.” UP NEXT Germany will meet Latvia on Monday in a crucial game at the bottom of the Group A standings. Canada now turns its attention to Tuesday’s clash against the U.S. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 29, 2024.BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Saxena White P.A. issues this notice to update and replace a prior press release issued by Saxena White on December 11, 2024. Plaintiff City of Fort Lauderdale Police and Firefighters' Retirement System has filed a Notice of Scrivener's Error with the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, which attaches a corrected Class Action complaint correcting a typographical error that inadvertently defined the Class Period as beginning on February 8, 2020, whereas the Class Action complaint alleges that the Class Period begins on February 28, 2020. The prior press release issued by Saxena White on December 11, 2024 contained the same typographical error. The Class Action asserts claims on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. securities between February 28, 2020 and October 30, 2024, inclusive. The full, updated press release follows: Saxena White P.A. has filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit (the "Class Action") in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee against Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc. ("Acadia Healthcare," "Acadia," or the "Company") ACHC and certain of its executive officers (collectively, "Defendants"). The Class Action asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Acadia Healthcare securities between February 28, 2020 and October 30, 2024, inclusive (the "Class Period"), and were damaged thereby (the "Class"). The Class Action filed by Saxena White is captioned City of Fort Lauderdale Police and Firefighters' Retirement System v. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., et al ., No. 24-cv-1447 (M.D. Tenn.). The Class Action complaint expands the class period and allegations asserted in a related action against Acadia and certain of its executive officers captioned: Kachrodia v. Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., et al. , No. 24-cv-1238 (M.D. Tenn. filed Oct. 16, 2024) (the " Kachrodia Action"). Specifically, the Class Action expands the class period pled from February 28, 2020 to October 18, 2024 in the Kachrodia Action, to February 28, 2020 to October 30, 2024 in the Class Action. Pursuant to the notice published on October 16, 2024 in connection with the filing of the Kachrodia Action, and as required by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA), investors wishing to serve as lead plaintiff are required to file a motion for appointment as lead plaintiff by no later than December 16, 2024. Saxena White's filing of the Class Action does not alter the lead plaintiff deadline. Based in Franklin, Tennessee, Acadia Healthcare purports to be the leading publicly traded pure-play provider of behavioral healthcare services in the United States. Acadia claims that it is committed to providing communities with high-quality, cost-effective behavioral healthcare services, while growing the Company's business, increasing profitability, and creating long-term value for shareholders. Most of Acadia's revenue comes from acute inpatient psychiatric facilities. Acadia receives payments from various payors, including states and the federal government under their respective Medicaid programs. Throughout the Class Period, Defendants touted the quality and safety of Acadia's inpatient services and the Company's strong financial performance driven by solid volumes and growth in patient days ( i.e. , length of stay) and same facility revenue. Defendants further touted strong revenue trends driven by rate increases across all payors and positive coverage and reimbursement trends from Medicaid, Acadia's largest source of revenue. The Class Action alleges that, during the Class Period, the Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, including that: (1) Acadia admitted patients and held them against their will and beyond the length of time that was medically necessary in order to deceive payors into continuing to pay for such patients' care; (2) Acadia would not release patients until their insurance ran out; (3) in order to achieve the above, Acadia deployed Company assessors to pressure emergency rooms to send patients to Company facilities, filed frivolous petitions with courts to delay patients' release, and directed employees to use buzzwords and avoid using other words in patients' charts to create a false impression of patients' mental state; (4) Acadia's admissions, length of stay, and billing practices would subject the Company to government investigations and actions and heightened media scrutiny; (5) in light of such government investigations and actions and media scrutiny, Acadia's relationships with its referral sources would be negatively impacted; (6) as a result of the above, Acadia experienced slower same-store patient volumes, and in turn, the Company would be forced to lower its full-year 2024 outlook; and (7) as a result of the above, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. On September 1, 2024, investors began to learn the truth about Acadia's inpatient services when The New York Times (the " Times ") published an article, entitled "How a Leading Chain of Psychiatric Hospitals Traps Patients," reporting that some of Acadia's success "was built on a disturbing practice: Acadia has lured patients into its facilities and held them against their will, even when detaining them was not medically necessary." On this news, the price of Acadia stock fell more than 4.5%, from a closing price of $81.93 per share on August 30, 2024, the prior trading day, to a closing price of $78.21 per share on September 3, 2024, the following trading day. On September 26, 2024, the Times published another article, entitled "Acadia Hospitals Reach $20 Million Settlement With Justice Dept," reporting that Acadia had agreed to a nearly $20 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, related to an investigation into the Company's practices of holding "patients for longer than necessary" at its facilities and admitting "people who didn't need to be there." On September 27, 2024, Acadia disclosed that it had received a request for information from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri "related to its admissions, length of stay and billing practices." On this news, the price of Acadia stock fell more than 16%, from a closing price of $75.66 per share on September 26, 2024, to a closing price of $63.28 per share on September 27, 2024. On October 3, 2024, Acadia received a letter from Adam B. Schiff, Judy Chu, and Julia Brownley, members of the U.S. House of Representatives from California, seeking answers to questions raised by reports "that inpatient psychiatric facilities owned by Acadia Healthcare have wrongfully detained patients under medically unnecessary circumstances." On this news, the price of Acadia stock fell more than 3.5%, from a closing price of $58.80 per share on October 2, 2024, to a closing price of $56.71 per share on October 3, 2024. On October 18, 2024, the Times published another article entitled "Veterans Dept. Investigating Acadia Healthcare for Insurance Fraud," reporting that the Veterans Affairs Department is investigating whether Acadia "is defrauding government health insurance programs by holding patients longer than is medically necessary" and "whether Acadia billed insurance programs for patients who were stable enough to be released and did not need intensive inpatient care." On this news, the price of Acadia stock fell more than 12%, from a closing price of $59.32 per share on October 17, 2024, to a closing price of $52.03 per share on October 18, 2024. The truth was fully revealed on October 30, 2024 when Acadia issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter of 2024. In the press release, Acadia disclosed that it had lowered its full-year 2024 revenue outlook to a range of $3.15 to $3.165 billion and its full-year 2024 adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to a range of $725 to $735 million. During the related earnings call held the next day on October 31, 2024, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Heather Dixon disclosed that the lowered full-year 2024 guidance was in part due to slower same-store patient day growth of only 3% in the month of October, "which we believe is a result of the recent headlines and reporting in the media." On this news, the price of Acadia stock fell $9.39 per share, or more than 18%, from a closing price of $52.08 per share on October 30, 2024, to a closing price of $42.69 per share on October 31, 2024. If you purchased Acadia Healthcare securities during the Class Period and were damaged thereby, you are a member of the "Class" and may be able to seek appointment as lead plaintiff. If you wish to apply to be lead plaintiff, a motion on your behalf must be filed with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee no later than December 16, 2024. The lead plaintiff is a court-appointed representative for absent members of the Class. You do not need to seek appointment as lead plaintiff to share in any Class recovery in the Class Action.

Loáisiga guaranteed $5 million in 1-year deal with Yankees as he returns from Tommy John surgery

(BPT) - Every year, roughly 20-30% of older Americans head to warmer climates for the colder winter months. Snowbirds are often retirees on fixed incomes, though flexible work environments now provide more opportunities for anyone to spend several months escaping the chill. Whether on a fixed income or an empty nester with disposable income, consumers are interested in saving money where they can. With this in mind, snowbirds can look to their AARP membership to take advantage of relevant discounts and offerings as they fluff their feathers and get ready for takeoff. From savory breakfast options while driving to your seasonal destination, to home and auto protection, and even resources to support mental and physical health, AARP member benefits offer deals and savings that will help snowbirds take flight this winter. "Spending winters in warmer places has so many benefits that come with being able to be outside more often. Warmth and sunlight not only increase serotonin levels , which can result in more positive moods and a calm, focused mental outlook, but they also stimulate vitamin D production and may even boost immunity ," said Elvira Christiansen, Director of Retail and Loyalty for AARP Services. "An AARP membership makes it even better by offering savings as you plan your trip, as well as at many dining, entertainment and retail locations you will come across in your winter getaway destination, helping you to enjoy it to the fullest." 1. Order Up Road trips are often the preferred way to travel to a winter home for the flexibility of having a car once there. Whether your drive will have you behind the wheel for hours or days, you'll want to make sure you have your meals planned out. Fill up with a tasty breakfast or lunch with a stop at Denny's, which is easy to spot from most major highways. AARP members can save when heading to Denny's . With over 1,500 locations nationwide, members save 15% on everything from diner classics to breakfast items every day; maximum discount not to exceed $10. Restrictions apply. 2. Primary Care from Almost Anywhere Feeling under the weather can put a damper on your winter travels, so it's a good idea to make sure you can access quality healthcare even when you're at your winter destination. If you are on Medicare, you can check whether there is an Oak Street Health primary care clinic near you. Oak Street Health , the only primary care provider to carry the AARP name, provides primary care for adults on Medicare and focuses on prevention with personalized care to help keep you healthy — physically, mentally and socially. Benefits include same-day/next-day appointments where available, convenient locations, a dedicated care team and a 24/7 patient support line. AARP membership is not required to visit an Oak Street Health clinic. 3. Wellness Checklist Once you check off primary care needs for your winter destination, don't overlook other priorities like maintaining your prescriptions and protecting your vision. Start by making sure your prescriptions are up to date before you head out of town. If you do need a refill while you're away, you have access to a free prescription discount card from AARP ® Prescription Discounts provided by Optum Rx ® that can be used at over 66,000 pharmacies nationwide for savings on FDA-approved medications. You do not need to be an AARP member to take advantage of these benefits, though AARP members receive additional perks, including deeper discounts on medications, home delivery, coverage for your dependents and more. If you're having trouble with your vision, want to update your sunglass prescription, or simply want to maintain your annual visits to an optometrist or ophthalmologist while away, AARP members have access to information on vision insurance options that offer individual and family plans, featuring a large doctor network, savings on frames, lens enhancements, progressives and more. 4. Home (Safety) Away from Home One thing that should always be a priority is keeping your home safe while you're away for the winter. While Neighborhood Watch is always helpful, long periods away from a home require additional security systems. With an AARP membership, homeowners can secure their homes for less. Members save 5% on monthly home security monitoring with ADT Home Security , which covers smart home security systems including intrusion monitoring, connected smoke and CO detection, and smart automation for video doorbells, security cameras and smart locks. 5. Pack Auto Coverage in Your Luggage Driving south for the winter? Utilize AARP member benefits to save on auto care so you can road trip worry free. AARP members save up to 20% on annual membership fees for Allstate Roadside Assistance plans, which provides access to assistance for towing, jump-starts, tire changes, lockout assistance, fuel delivery and more. Allstate Roadside plan benefits can be used 24/7 in any car you drive, including rented and borrowed ones. And, if you want to bring any personal items with you but don't have room to squeeze them in your car, Budget Truck Rental has a variety of trucks for you to choose from. AARP members can save 20% on local or one-way truck rentals on Sunday through Thursday and 10% on Friday and Saturday, plus receive a $10-per-day Physical Damage Waiver. Regardless of how you're traveling or spending your winter months, AARP member benefits can help you maximize your budget while you prioritize the things that matter.

Consumers reappeared in shopping centers around North Central West Virginia the day after Christmas to return or exchange unwanted gifts and to utilize gift cards at their favorite retail stores. "It was crazy leading up to Christmas, every day. Even Christmas Eve was crazy. It's the 43rd day of December," said Bobbi Jo Lipscomb, assistant general manager of Books-A-Million at the Meadowbrook Mall, on Thursday. One hour after the mall opened the car lot was full and parking spaces were sparse. Books-A-Million customers had come en masse to use gift cards they'd received for the holiday. Though fewer customers had come to make returns or exchanges. However, Lipscomb said she expected to see a greater number of returns and exchanges and continued gift card purchases this weekend and for nearly the next month. Oppositely, Shoe Dept. Encore saw a great number of customers exchanging to get the correct size, but relatively few people using gift cards, said store manager Heather Cathell. The Shoe Dept. manager echoed Lipscomb's sentiment about this year's holiday shopping frenzy. "We were really busy last week. We did well over what the sales goals were," Cathell said. While many were using their gift cards and making exchanges, others were in search of ongoing Christmas deals. Holiday deals began cropping up in mid-November, even before Black Friday as some businesses sought to entice those getting a head start on their Christmas shopping. Many of these deals will run until the end of the year, helping stores clear out 2024 inventory to make way for new offerings in 2025. "We're starting to get the spring lineup in, so we need to get rid of the winter boots that people have already purchased. If it doesn't sell, we mark it down so we can get the new products in," Cathell said, noting no items are shipped back to the warehouse. During this period of ongoing deals, some shoppers have decided to get a head start on the holiday shopping for next year, or even some very late Christmas shopping. "People say they're getting a head start. People will start buying stuff for next Christmas, it's crazy. I wish I had that kind of drive. I haven't even started my Christmas shopping this year," Lipscomb said with a laugh. In the lead up to Christmas, many Books-A-Million shoppers came into the store to take a book home with them the same day. But others found the book they needed was not in stock and asked to have the books shipped to their loved ones. "People were like, 'can you get it there by Christmas?' And I said 'I don't have control over that,'" Lipscomb said. Maybe putting in a good word with Santa would have helped. "Or the USPS, I don't know," Lipscomb joked.Wall Street stocks were little changed on Thursday while Asian equities rose in thin Boxing Day trade, extending their "Santa Claus Rally" with several bourses still shut for the holiday. Japan's Nikkei index closed up 1.1 percent, boosted by comments from the Bank of Japan governor and share price gains for top-selling automaker Toyota. China's plans for massive bond issuances in 2025 also bolstered investor sentiment. "Even though many in the region are still shaking off a bit of a holiday hangover, with several markets closed for Boxing Day, Asian stocks opened higher, riding a favorable wave from China's financial bond juggernaut," said Stephen Innes from SPI Asset Management. In New York, major indices veered in and out of positive territory in a sleepy post-Christmas session. The broad-based S&P 500 finished down less than 0.1 percent. Large technology companies that have led the market in much of 2024 mostly took a breather. These included Netflix, Tesla and Amazon, all of which declined. "What's interesting today is that we're seeing small stocks bounce back a little bit," said Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers, noting that the Russell 2000 index put on 0.9 percent. Holiday consumer data showed a 3.8-percent increase in US retail spending from November 1 to December 24, according to a Mastercard SpendingPulse review of a key period for retailers. London Stockton, an analyst at Ned Davis Research, noted that the "Santa Claus rally could still be alive, with strong seasonality into the end of the year." Stock markets have traditionally fared well in the last five trading days of the year and the first two in the new year, a trend known as the "Santa Claus rally." Among a number of possible reasons advanced by experts include the festive holiday mood and purchasing ahead of the end of the tax year. Innes said remarks from Bank of Japan governor Kazuo Ueda in which he refrained from signaling a potential interest rate hike next month also "influenced bullish regional sentiments." Japanese market heavyweight Toyota ended nearly six percent higher after reports in the Nikkei business daily said it aimed to double its return on equity -- a key measure of a company's financial performance.

The Vital Role of Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs) in Enhancing Electrical Safety Across Diverse Settings 12-26-2024 05:48 PM CET | Industry, Real Estate & Construction Press release from: ABNewswire Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs) [ https://www.w9-group.com/acb/ ] are safety devices employed in electrical systems to guard equipment and people against electrical hazards. These breakers are designed to immediately interrupt the flows of electricity in a event that something like overloads or short circuits occurs. ACBs are particularly helpful in larger structures, manufacturing facilities, and electrical substation where a great deal of electrical energy is purchased. They operate using air or a combination of air and other means for a fast disconnection of the electrical circuit in case of an error. This fast action is helpful in avoiding fire incidences, destruction of equipment and other safety complications. ACBs are favored in applications because they can manage large currents, are long-lived, and can be switched on/off frequently. They also contain provisions that enable workers to manage and regulate the flow of electricity and as such, it is employed in most electrical systems in the current society. They are applied in any establishment, including tall buildings, factories, power stations and among other places since they help to enhance safety standards of electrical systems. Because they are built to be robust and can quickly respond to issues with safety in electrical settings they are common in different settings. Image: https://ecdn6.globalso.com/upload/p/1205/image_product/2024-11/1-51.png Features of Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs) Air Circuit Breakers [ https://www.w9-group.com/acb/](ACBs ) are sophisticated electrical protection devices with several key features that make them essential in large-scale power systems. These features enhance safety, improve performance, and provide flexibility in various applications. Here are important features of ACBs: High Current Capacity ACBs are designed to handle very large amounts of electrical current. This means they can be used in big electrical systems where a lot of power is flowing. For example, they're often used in factories, large buildings, and power stations. The high current capacity allows ACBs to protect main power lines that supply electricity to many smaller circuits. This feature is important because it means one ACB can protect a large part of an electrical system, which is more efficient than using many smaller breakers. Adjustable Trip Settings ACBs come with settings that can be changed to suit different needs. These settings control when the breaker will "trip" or turn off the power. You can set it to trip at different current levels or after different time delays. This is useful because different electrical systems have different needs. For instance, some equipment might be able to handle short bursts of high current, while others need protection from even small overloads. The ability to adjust these settings means the ACB can be fine-tuned to provide the best protection for each specific system it's used in. Image: https://ecdn6.globalso.com/upload/p/1205/image_product/2024-11/2-46.png Arc Quenching Mechanism When an electrical circuit is broken, especially one carrying a lot of power, it can create a spark or "arc". This arc can be dangerous and damage the breaker. ACBs have a special system to quickly put out this arc. They often use compressed air or special materials that help cool and break up the arc. Some ACBs use a series of metal plates that split the arc into smaller, less harmful arcs. This feature is crucial for the safety and longevity of the breaker. It allows the ACB to safely interrupt very large currents without damaging itself. Built-in Monitoring and Diagnostics Modern ACBs often come with advanced electronics that can monitor the electrical system and the breaker itself. These systems can measure things like current, voltage, and power usage. They can also keep track of how many times the breaker has operated and whether it's working correctly. This information can be displayed on a screen on the breaker or sent to a central control system. This feature is very useful for maintenance teams. It helps them spot potential problems before they become serious and plan maintenance work more effectively. Remote Operation Capability Many ACBs can be controlled from a distance. This means operators can turn the breaker on or off without being physically near it. This is often done through a computer system or a special control panel. Remote operation is particularly useful in large or dangerous environments where it might not be safe or practical for a person to be near the breaker. It also allows for quick response to emergencies - if there's a problem in one part of a building or factory, the power can be shut off quickly from a safe location. Drawout Design Many ACBs are designed to be easily removed from their housing. This "drawout" design makes maintenance and replacement much easier. The breaker can be disconnected from the main power system and pulled out like a drawer. This means that technicians can work on the breaker safely, without the risk of electric shock. It also means that if a breaker needs to be replaced, it can be done quickly, minimizing the time that the power system is offline. This feature is especially important in places like hospitals or data centers where constant power is crucial. Overcurrent and Short Circuit Protection This is the main job of an ACB. It protects the electrical system from two main types of problems: overcurrent and short circuits. Overcurrent is when too much electricity is flowing through the system for a long time. This can happen if too many devices are connected or if a machine is working too hard. A short circuit is when electricity takes an unintended path, often due to damaged wires or equipment. Both of these situations can be dangerous, potentially causing fires or damaging equipment. The ACB detects these problems and quickly cuts off the power to prevent damage. It can tell the difference between a brief surge of power (which might be normal) and a genuine problem that requires action. Conclusion Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs) are important devices that keep large electrical systems safe and working well. They can handle a lot of power and can be adjusted to work in different situations. ACBs are smart enough to quickly stop electricity when there's a problem, preventing damage and fires. They're easy to control from far away and can be taken out for fixing without much trouble. ACBs also give useful information about how the electrical system is working. These features make ACBs very helpful in big buildings, factories, and power plants. They protect equipment, keep people safe, and help make sure electricity is used efficiently. As we use more and more electricity in our world, devices like ACBs become even more important for keeping everything running smoothly and safely.

HOUSTON (AP) — Tyler Herro scored 27 points before being one of six people ejected after a fight in the final minute of the Miami Heat's 104-100 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night. Herro was thrown to the ground by the Rockets' Amen Thompson with 35 seconds left and the Heat leading 99-94. Players and coaches from both benches then came onto the court. Both players were thrown out along with Rockets guard Jalen Green, coach Ime Udoka and assistant coach Ben Sullivan. Terry Rozier was also ejected for Miami. Houston led 92-85 after Fred VanVleet's layup with 8:10 to play, but the Rockets missed their next 11 shots, allowing Miami to tie the game when Herro found Haywood Highsmith for a 3-pointer with 4:47 to play. Herro’s jumper with 1:56 to play put the Heat on top for good. Heat: Playing the second night of a back-to-back and missing Jimmy Butler for a fifth straight game, Nikola Jovic finished with 18 points, seven rebounds, and six assists for the Heat. Highsmith added 15 points. Rockets: After blowing a 15-point, fourth-quarter lead against the Wolves, Houston struggled offensively in the fourth quarter, shooting just 6 for 24 from the field. Dillon Brooks scored 22 points after missing the last three games with a right ankle effusion. Jovic’s 3 with 47 seconds left put Miami up 98-94. Miami outscored Houston, the NBA’s best offensive rebounding team, 15-9 in second-chance points. The Rockets host Dallas on Wednesday and the Heat host New Orleans on Wednesday.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than , 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over for investors. In 2020, founding partner was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the issues being faced by suppliers, like ASML, in the semiconductor industry were much more severe than defendants had indicated to investors; (2) the pace of recovery of sales in the semiconductor industry was much slower than defendants had publicly acknowledged; (3) defendants had created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to customer demand and anticipated growth, while also downplaying risk from macroeconomic and industry fluctuations, as well as stronger regulations restricting the export of semiconductor technology, including the products that ASML sells; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about ASML's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
