What saved De Luca is that, at the box office at least, the roller coaster has largely been a thrill ride. Hollywood studios always grouse about inflated star salaries and out-of-control directors–and still line up to pay them. De Luca, meanwhile, has built New Line’s reputation by taking chances on no-names and first-timers. He’s the Loehmann’s shopper in a town addicted to buying retail at Barneys, picking up cast-off projects and turning them into low-budget Gen-X and -Y smashes: “The Mask,” “The Wedding Singer,” “Rush Hour,” “Boogie Nights,” “Austin Powers....

Each year, tens of thousands of people flock to Victoria Park to pay tribute to those killed when China’s military drove tanks through student-led pro-democracy protests on June 4, 1989. The crackdown killed hundreds, if not thousands, and further sent China into isolation, the Associated Press reported. The Chinese Communist Party has never allowed public events on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square on the mainland. Security was ramped up at Beijing Square, where police checked pedestrians’ IDs....

The local cases raised concerns about new clusters of cases popping up and sparking a resurgence of the outbreak. Beginning on Friday, free testing services will cover staff members at Hong Kong International Airport, followed by an expansion to include people working at residential care homes for the elderly or people with disabilities, as well as nursing homes. “Airport workers belong to the higher-risk groups as they have more frequent contact with arriving passengers who have been to places with high incidence of COVID-19,” a spokesman for the Center for Health Protection (CHP) said in a statement....

It’s been a down and dirty campaign on both sides in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The country’s first free elections in over 40 years began their second and final round today, the culmination of the United Nations’ most ambitious peacekeeping and democracy-building exercise. The U.N. has spent half a billion dollars on the elections alone, on top of another $1.2 billion a year in peacekeeping funds to support 19,000 troops and police from more than 100 nations....

“There is no pillar in any form that is holding anything,” he said of the building’s remains, telling families that “hope is what we all require now.” Workers were able to rescue nine people from the rubble by Tuesday, but no additional survivors were uncovered Wednesday. While it is unknown how many more people may be buried in the debris, one construction worker at the scene of the collapse estimated that there were roughly 100, leaving about 70 people still missing....

In fact that might just be a generous description of his NBA debut. It was downright brutal. The third overall pick of this year’s draft played a scoreless 15 minutes in his first game, missing all five of his field-goal attempts in Charlotte’s 121-114 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on December 23. Not only did he fail to score, the highly-touted playmaker also turned the ball over three times, becoming only the second player in the last 35 years to finish without a point while taking at least five shots with three or more turnovers in 15-plus minutes in their NBA debut, joining the Golden State Warriors’ Brandon Williams in 1998....

The New York Times reported on Tuesday afternoon that Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, which is owned by Northwell Health, has repeatedly charged patients thousands of dollars for virus tests that typically cost less than $200. The hospital has billed the tests—which insurance or the U.S. government is generally required to cover—as a “moderately complex” emergency room visit, tacking on additional charges. One family that did their testing at Lenox Hill reportedly racked up $39,314 for just 12 tests....

State Comptroller Jason Mumpower announced a reversal of a number of exemptions that allowed entities to employ COVID measures against a state law that restricted them. Court rulings that also blocked a few of President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates were cited, the Associated Press reported. The state law does allow for health care organizations to require proof of vaccination, but only for “valid and enforceable” Medicare and Medicaid rules. The hospital association said that one of the court rulings “effectively eliminates” the exemption for hospitals....

There may be one other lesson: Washington remains almost as mystified by Iran’s behavior today as it was back then. After the latest crisis was resolved, U.S. and British intel officials admitted they were uncertain whether Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered the British service personnel seized, or who exactly inside Tehran decided to end the standoff. U.S. officials vehemently denied any tit-for-tat deal involving the release of Jalal Sharafi, an Iranian diplomat seized in Iraq in February, the day before the Brits were freed....

Paris Saint-Germain’s €222 million signing from Barcelona, Neymar, made his bow at Guingamp’s Stade du Roudourou on Sunday, where he scored one and created another in a 3-0 victory. It was a moment the 25-year-old had clearly been looking forward to. Shortly before kick off in Brittany, he took to his Instagram account to post a message to his fans. Unlike at Barcelona, the Brazil international has found plenty of his compatriots in the French capital, including Dani Alves, who he apparently talked into moving to the Parc des Princes rather than Manchester City....

title: “Hot Wheels” ShowToc: true date: “2022-12-22” author: “Gloria Bergmark” While the Detroit of 2006 struggles to survive, the fast bruisers cranked out by the Motor City in its 1970s halcyon days now help fuel the $17.8 billion-a-year classic-car business. That’s up about 25 percent in the past year alone, say car insurers, dealers and restoration experts, thanks mainly to the echo effect of televising major auctions. As many as 400,000 collector cars, worth about $14 billion, traded pink slips in the past 12 months; additional revenue comes from after-market parts sales and service, which now tops out at $100 per hour....

In an interview with PBS NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff, Clyburn said there’s a strong, “bipartisan sentiment to impeach this president,” and noted that the process could begin early next week. “The fact of the matter is, impeachment will give us a tool, not just for removal, but it will be a tool for protecting the integrity of our democracy. This president needs the scrutiny that impeachment will give him,” he said....
