Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:45:46 GMT

Saleha Mohsin, Lydia Beyoud and Sridhar Natarajan(Bloomberg) — US regulators overseeing the emergency breakup of SVB Financial Group are racing to sell assets and make a portion of clients’ uninsured deposits available as soon as Monday, according to people with knowledge of the situation.The initial payout — the amount of which is still being determined — would aim to tide over the firm’s distressed customers, many of them Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and their companies, with more cash to follow as the bank’s assets are sold. The amount will depend in part on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.’s progress in turning assets to cash by Sunday night.Figures being floated behind the scenes for an initial payment range from 30% to 50% or more of uninsured deposits, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private talks.A spokesperson for the FDIC didn’t respond to requests for comment on its plans.Silicon Valley Bank’s business clients are desperate to access their money...

Chinese city proposes lockdowns for flu — and faces a backlash

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:45:46 GMT

A Chinese city has sparked a backlash on social media after saying it would consider the use of lockdowns in the event of an influenza outbreak.The city of Xi’an — a tourism hotspot in Shaanxi province that is home to the famous terracotta warriors — revealed an emergency response plan this week that would enable it to shut schools, businesses and “other crowded places” in the event of a severe flu epidemic.That prompted a mixture of anxiety and anger on China’s social media websites among many users who said the plan sounded uncomfortably similar to some of the strict zero-Covid measures China had implemented throughout the pandemic and which have only recently been abandoned.“Vaccinate the public rather than using such time to create a sense of panic,” one user wrote on Weibo, China’s equivalent of Twitter.“How will people not panic given that Xi’an’s proposal to suspend work and business activities were issued without clear instruction on the national level to classify the diseas...

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler won early, holing a chip from deep rough for eagle on the par-5 second hole at The Players Championship to win a bet against his caddie on the number of times the Masters champion chips in during the season.The bigger payoff was the way Scheffler navigated 26 holes on Saturday — eight in the morning to finish the rain-delayed second round, 18 in the afternoon when the TPC Sawgrass was as soft and vulnerable as it gets — for a 7-under 65 to build a two-shot lead over Min Woo Lee of Australia.Still to come: A chance for Scheffler to capture another big prize against a strong field, return to No. 1 in the world and cash a $4.5 million winner’s check.“I would much rather win the tournament than get back to No. 1 in the world,” Scheffler said. “So that will be my focus going into tomorrow, just going out and having a solid round of golf.”Scheffler capped his long day with what amounted to a two-shot swing.Lee, the younger brother of ...

The Royals were part of the NWSL for three seasons from 2018 to 2020.“When we acquired Real Salt Lake last year, we said it was a matter of when, not if, the NWSL would return to Utah. This has always been an integral part of our mission,” RSL co-owner David Blitzer said in a prepared statement.Michelle Hyncik, RSL’s general counsel, was named president of the Royals.

Burke’s defense too much for Randolph to handle

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:45:46 GMT

Over the last decade, Sean Ryan has attempted to establish a winning culture at Burke. In spite of the ever-changing landscape also known as the MIAA’s league ranks, the Bulldogs have always managed to find ways to stay competitive with their peers, regardless of which division they have been placed in.You can add another chapter to the program’s impressive legacy. Sophomore sensation Jaeden Roberts registered a game-high 24 points Saturday night, as second-seeded Burke clinched a trip to the Div. 4 boys basketball semifinals by unseating last year’s state champion with a convincing 68-50 rout of No. 7 Randolph.“Every team is different,” said Ryan. “Every team’s different offensively and defensively. They really bought into defense. As a coach, when a team does that, it’s really special. New guys, new faces, but they totally came together, especially during the mid-part of the year. I’m super happy for them.”Burke’s Josh Jean Charles, left, looks to shoot over Randolph’s...
