Trump’s company could face criminal charges in New York City

Business, In The News,
By BERNARD CONDON, Associated Press Troy Warren for CNT NEW YORK — Manhattan prosecutors are considering filing criminal charges soon against Donald Trump’s company, stemming from a long-running investigation into the former president’s business dealings. The New York Times, citing sources familiar with the matter, reported that charges could be filed against the Trump Organization as early as next week related to fringe benefits the company gave to top executives, such as use of apartments, cars and school tuition.

Delete salon helps those wanting to erase their ink

Delete salon helps those wanting to erase their ink

Business, In The News, Lifestyle, ,
Georgann Yara Special for The Republic Troy Warren for CNT   She was born in Chicago and intended to focus on the game. But when Marci White took her staff to a Chicago Cubs spring training game, she couldn’t ignore a huge distraction. It started when attendees, mostly from the Windy City, took off their shirts to soak up the Arizona sun. “There was a sea of not-artistic tattoos,” said White, who pondered whether the ink was still loved by its bearers. “I saw pretty awful tattoos and wondered, ‘What do you do if you don’t want these tattoos anymore?’” White, a veteran of the hospitality…

Liam Neeson in Netflix’s ‘The Ice Road’: Film Review

Liam Neeson in Netflix’s ‘The Ice Road’: Film Review

Entertainment, ,
BY FRANK SCHECK | HollywoodReporter.Com Troy Warren for CNT The actor plays a big-rig trucker on a dangerous mission to rescue trapped Canadian miners in Jonathan Hensleigh's action thriller. A scowling Liam Neeson looks particularly unhappy on the poster for the The Ice Road, and who can blame him? The actor, who recently turned 69, is working harder than ever for his money, in this case enduring sub-freezing temperatures and even a dip into icy waters for director/screenwriter Jonathan Hensleigh’s thriller premiering on Netflix. Yes, Neeson has found a very successful niche as a rugged and distinctly mature action star, but at this point it’s…

2021 Mercedes-Benz S580 Resets the Flagship

Cars,
BY NEIL DUNLOP | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT   The ninth generation of the big Benz introduces tech and comfort we didn't know we needed. It might have been the moment we were choosing between the Mobilizing massage or the Classic massage, but we missed a turn. A new S-class brings with it a ton of new tech, and we were so busy playing with all of it that we ignored the navigation system directing us to the Jersey Turnpike and the George Washington Bridge. The new route took us through the Holland Tunnel, landing us in Tribeca. After driving the length…

Subway’s Tuna Sandwiches Were Tested Again. No Tuna DNA Was Found

Foodie,
By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT According to a New York Times investigation, "No amplifiable tuna DNA was present in the sample" that the newspaper sent to a lab for testing. Earlier this year, two women filed a lawsuit against Subway, alleging that the Connecticut-based sandwich chain's tuna sandwiches and wraps didn't contain any actual tuna. The Washington Post reported that their attorney purchased tuna sandwiches from multiple Subway locations in California, and then submitted the fish in question to an independent lab for testing.  Although the attorney declined to discuss the exact findings with the Post, she did say that the tests revealed that…

Autopsy: COVID brains similar to those with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s

COVID-19, Health, , ,
By Nancy Clanton, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Troy Warren for CNT Studies have shown COVID-19 can cause brain complications in some patients’ brains, from memory problems to strokes. A new study has found the brains of people who died from COVID-19 were remarkably similar to the brains of people who die from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, showing inflammation and disrupted circuitry, researchers reported. “The brains of patients who died from severe COVID-19 showed profound molecular markers of inflammation, even though those patients didn’t have any reported clinical signs of neurological impairment,” study co-senior author Tony Wyss-Coray, a professor of neurology and neurological sciences…
