Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) Stock Price Down 0% – Should You Sell?

The rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs and the suspected health care CEO assassin Luigi Mangione have decided on a similar defense strategy: Hire an Agnifilo. Or two. Marc Agnifilo is heading Combs' defense against racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges , while Karen Friedman Agnifilo is leading Mangione's murder defense , with Marc in a support role. For much of the past few decades, the legal power couple often found themselves on opposite sides of such complex cases – she for the prosecution, and he for the defense. Now, they find themselves representing two of the most high-profile cases in the country today. From 2014 to 2021, Karen was the second-in-command in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, which brought notable cases against defendants including Harvey Weinstein and Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization. She left the department in 2021 and has since moved into media, with a stint as a CNN legal analyst and contributor. Marc, meanwhile, has represented many of the targets of those DA investigations, including "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli, Nxivm founder Keith Raniere and former Goldman Sachs banker Roger Ng. He worked for the law firm Brafman & Associates from 2006 until earlier this year, when he split off to co-found the firm Agnifilo Intrater . Parents to three adult children, the law is what brought them together. The two met at the Manhattan DA's office in 1992 while working on a case in which two bagel store deliverymen got into an argument, and one cut off the other's arm with a machete, according to The New York Times . Their intersecting careers have at times led to legal conflicts of interest. In 2011, Karen had to recuse herself from the Manhattan DA's case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn when the former head of the International Monetary Fund hired the law firm where Marc worked. "It's never been awkward," Marc told The New York Times in 2011. "We're pretty regimented about it. If she's recused from a case, we really don't talk about it." The Agnifilos declined a CNN request for an interview. But that was then, and now, the Agnifilos have joined forces. Monday, when Mangione appeared in a New York courthouse for his arraignment, Karen was positioned to his left, and Marc sat on his right. Karen spoke to the court and criticized what she called the NYPD's over-the-top "perp walk" of her client, drawing on her years of service for perspective. "He was on display for everyone to see in the biggest staged perp walk I've ever seen in my career," she said. From public service to defense Karen Friedman Agnifilo has decades of experience in the legal field, primarily in the Manhattan DA's Office. She most recently served as the chief assistant district attorney under then-District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. until 2021. Her professional bio notes her "critical leadership role in prosecuting high-profile violent crime cases, including complex cases involving a mental health component." She managed a team of 1,500 people with a $120 million budget and "was also integral to creating the office's Human Trafficking Unit, Hate Crimes Unit, Antiquities Trafficking Unit, Terrorism Unit, its Cybercrimes and Identity Theft Bureau, as well as working on the creation of Manhattan's first Mental Health Court," according to her bio. She left public service in 2021 – complete with a bagpipe sendoff from the NYPD and DA's office – and moved to private practice. In an interview with the " Shut Up Mommy's Talking " podcast in 2022, Karen said moving into defense work was an adjustment. She cited her husband's experience in deciding whom to take on as a client. "My husband's also a criminal defense attorney and he's had some clients who just aren't nice to him. And I don't mean, like just not a little bit nice, I mean like abusive," she said. "And I don't want that at this stage in my life." "There's no crime necessarily that I wouldn't take or even set of factors that I wouldn't take," she added. "I do believe that everyone's entitled to a defense and to good representation, and I've always believed that." Karen said she has also been influenced by her children. Her twin daughters took an interest in politics and the Black Lives Matter movement during the COVID-19 pandemic, changing her thinking on the topic. "I have to credit them with opening my eyes to these issues," she said. Her third child has autism, she told the podcast, and she had frustrating experiences trying to get them help. She then used her experiences as a "special needs mom" to implement systems in the DA's office to help those with less money or opportunity, she said. "That became sort of my mission at the DA's office. It was very much into alternatives to incarceration, I pushed that very hard," she said. In recent years, Karen has moved into the media. She has served as the legal adviser to the long-running show "Law & Order," worked as a CNN legal analyst and opines on legal issues as the podcast host of "Legal AF" and "MissTrial" on the MeidasTouch Network. Her vocal media presence may offer a preview of her defense strategy. Earlier this month on CNN, before taking on Mangione as a client, she offered her thoughts on how the case could proceed. "It looks to me like there might be a not guilty by reason of insanity defense that they're going to be thinking about because the evidence is going to be so overwhelming that he did what he did," she said on December 10 . "As a former prosecutor in that office, I would be concerned that you have someone who is a valedictorian of his class, he was brilliant his whole life, he comes from this great family. I mean, something changed, significantly, something changed. And they're going to potentially have a not guilty by reason of insanity potential defense, so the prosecutors are going to try to shore that up as well in their investigation." Marc has repped Shkreli, Diddy Marc Agnifilo similarly began his career in prosecutors' offices and has since made a mark defending high-profile defendants in complex cases on the state, federal and international levels. A graduate of Connecticut College and Brooklyn Law School, he worked at the US Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey and as a Manhattan assistant district attorney before turning to criminal defense, his website states . He has defended some of the most publicly reviled defendants of the past decade in Shkreli and Raniere, both of whom were convicted at trial. "You may find him repulsive, disgusting and offensive. We don't convict people in this country for being repulsive or offensive," he argued in Raniere's trial on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. "Unpopular ideas aren't criminal. Disgusting ideas aren't criminal." In recent months, Marc took on Combs' case and has repeatedly asked the court to release the rapper on bond before trial. Other cases, many of which are listed on his website, have been resolved without charges or with short sentences. He told Law.com earlier this year his new law firm will focus on complex criminal litigation with an eye toward trying cases. "I have found that people come to me when they have something to say against the government's allegations," Marc said. "Very often that means they want to go to trial. So we all plan to do what we've always done: to try a bunch of cases. That's our supreme value."

Cardtonic Announces Partnership with Afrobeats Star, TML VibezNov 24 (Reuters) - Ukrainian investigators are studying the debris of a new Russian intermediate-range ballistic missile that was fired at the city of Dnipro on Thursday, the first time such a powerful weapon has been used in the war. Reuters was among a small group of reporters given access to the wreckage of the missile on Sunday. Reporters were asked not disclose the exact location of the site for security reasons. The scorched and crumbled pieces of debris were laid out in a hanger at a facility which conducts weapons forensics. Ukrainian experts study such debris to gain insight into Russian military supply chains, production and how to develop counter-measures. Russia has dubbed the missile the Oreshnik (Hazel Tree) and said it is impossible to intercept it with air defences. Ukraine has said the weapon reached a top speed of more than 13,000 kph (8,000 mph) on its way towards Dnipro on Thursday. Intermediate-range ballistic missiles have a range of up to 5,500 kilometres. Two state experts provided cautious assessments, saying only that the weapon was ballistic, flew on a ballistic trajectory and that the strike resulted in civilian damage. They declined to take questions or give their surnames. "These are preliminary conclusions and to say something more concrete requires time and careful study of the remains of the missile," said Ivan, one of the experts. "This is the first time that such remnants of such a missile have been discovered on the territory of Ukraine," said Oleh, an investigator for the Security Service of Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called the use of the weapon a severe escalation and urged his allies to respond. Ukraine originally said the weapon appeared to be an intercontinental ballistic missile. The Kremlin later said it fired a new intermediate-range missile at a Ukrainian military target in Dnipro in response to Kyiv striking Russia with U.S. and British made missiles for the first time after the U.S. granted its approval. The U.S. military has said the missile's design is based on the longer-range RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The new missile was experimental and Russia likely possessed only a handful of them, they have said. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday Moscow would keep testing the missile in combat and had a stock ready to use. Much remains unclear for now, including the extent of the damage caused by the missile. Ukraine seldom discloses damage to military targets, fearing such information would help Moscow. Sign up here.

If you’re looking to use Fort Worth’s bicycle sharing program during the holidays, you just might be spinning your wheels. The citywide program known as Fort Worth Bike Sharing ceased operations Nov. 26 as bikes and stations are now being removed. But riders will be able to keep on cycling thanks to a replacement program operated by Trinity Metro, the Fort Worth-area transit agency, arriving early next year. Trinity Metro Bikes will debut in early January with new, mostly electric bikes as well as new docking stations. “We have been keeping our loyal customers in the loop so they’re aware of the exciting news to come,” Shawn Tubre, an avid cyclist and director of the new Trinity Metro Bikes program, said in a statement. “We’re delighted to offer an entirely new system in the coming year. New stations, new bikes, new app, better price structure and a new name — and the timing is perfect for New Year’s resolutions!” About 90% of the Trinity Metro Bikes will be electric while the remainder will be classic bicycles for fitness-minded riders, Tubre said. Get essential daily news for the Fort Worth area. Sign up for insightful, in-depth stories — completely free. “The new system will feature both red traditional bikes and white electric bikes,” he said. “This is the perfect opportunity for providing new bikes to existing customers while also encouraging a new group of recreational cyclists and commuters to try Trinity Metro Bikes.” Fort Worth Bike Sharing kicked off in 2013 with 300 bikes at 30 stations, but grew steadily within a decade . The system had more than 400 bikes, including electric and classic models, available to rent through day passes or long-term memberships at about 59 stations. Ridership in the program increased during the COVID-19 pandemic as the service counted 84,073 rides in 2021 compared to 56,348 in 2019. Most stations were clustered along the Trinity Trail system, the Cultural District, Near Southside and downtown Fort Worth. The program, which formally became a department of Trinity Metro in 2021, later integrated more than 25 stations into the system, including kiosks near Texas Christian University, Hotel Dryce, Kellis Park and the Northside TEXRail station. The program was aided by infrastructure, such as bike lanes on local roads. A program for low-income residents that had an annual membership fee of $10 was introduced, but memberships declined in 2021, leading agency officials to find ways to improve the service. Not everyone has been supportive of the city’s efforts to build more bike infrastructure, including bike lanes. Resident Brooke Ligon said Fort Worth should eliminate its bike lanes to add more space for vehicles. “We are committing traffic suicide by taking away lanes of traffic for non-existent bicycle riders,” Ligon wrote in an email to the Fort Worth Report. “I am all for increasing safety for bicycles but not by creating dangerous traffic bottlenecks for motorized vehicles. Putting bicycles on heavy traffic streets is just not a safe or sane solution.” However, longtime Fort Worth resident Jon Wilcox said he was eager to use the new bike program since he liked to ride whenever he had errands within a few miles of his home near Montgomery Plaza. The old bike share program, he said, had several maintenance issues that included worn-out bikes, bent tires or pedals. Some electric bikes would have no charge when he tried to use them. Wilcox said he tried to renew his annual membership earlier this year but couldn’t do so on the old app. “I haven’t been riding since August, but I would like to be able to use the new bike program,” Wilcox said. “I will probably sign up.” Eric E.

Garcia, Fort Worth Report December 2, 2024The NBA has suspended Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall for four games and Phoenix Suns centre Jusuf Nurkic for three games for their roles in an on-court brawl. Dallas forward P.J. Washington copped a one-game and all of the suspensions handed down on Sunday are without pay. Nurkic and Marshall came to blows and were ejected during the Mavericks’ 98-89 win at Footprint Center. Things came to a head early in the third quarter when Nurkic was called for an offensive foul, sending the Mavericks’ Daniel Gafford to the floor inside the paint. After a few moments, Nurkic and Marshall converged, with the former slapping Marshall on the noggin before Marshall punched his opponent up high. P.J. Washington also shoved Nurkic in the middle of all this, sending him tumbling back near mid-court. Officials then stepped in to prevent the teams from doing any further damage. When all was said and done, all three players were ejected from the contest and Suns coach Mike Budenholzer was left unimpressed. “I think that level of altercation is not good for our team,” he said after the game. “It’s not good for anybody individually, it’s not good for our league.” Mavericks coach Jason Kidd saw it a different way, saying he was happy with how his players protected themselves. “They were protecting each other. That’s what that was,” Kidd said, according to the Dallas Morning News. “Emotions can get high. For our guys to protect each other, we talk about it and it was displayed tonight.” Suns rookie Ryan Dunn told reporters after the game that Nurkic and Marshall were talking with one another after the original offence foul before things got physical. “I think it was just the heat of the moment, they were chipping back and forth,” Dunn said. “Heat of the moment we’re here for Nurk.” Dunn clarified why he was in de-escalation mode and not trying to add to the fray. “I’m a rookie, I don’t have enough money to be getting fined $5,000,” he said with a laugh. “I can’t throw a punch, but just trying to de-escalate it.” EMBIID COPS HUGE FINE Philadelphia 76ers centre Joel Embiid was fined $120,000 AUD by the NBA on Friday for making “obscene gestures on the playing court” in the Sixers’ 118-114 victory over the Boston Celtics on Christmas Day. The league said in a statement the incidents occurred in the first half of the 76ers’ victory in Boston, in which Embiid scored 27 points with nine rebounds. Embiid celebrated a layup in the first half with the “DX crotch chop” thrusting gesture he has adopted from professional wrestling and been fined for in the past. He had another gesture for Boston fans after a three-pointer shortly before halftime. The 2023 NBA Most Valuable Player has appeared in just nine games this season because of injuries -- the latest a sinus fracture that has him playing in a protective mask -- and a three-game suspension for a physical altercation with a journalist. Embiid had another injury scare before Wednesday’s game, falling over the security rope at the perimeter of the court during warm-ups and grabbing his right ankle. He appeared untroubled during the game, but was listed as “questionable” for Saturday’s game against the Utah Jazz with the sinus fracture and a left foot sprain.Olive Garden ‘concerned' after customer finds mysterious letters on breadstick

TEHRAN-The Iranian feature film “The Last Act” directed by Shahab Hosseini will be screened at the 78th International Film Festival of Salerno, which will be held from November 25 to 30 in Salerno, Italy. It will be the 14th international presence of the film that have gained several nominations and awards in the past two years, IRNA reported. A 2022 production of the Seven Skies Entertainment company, the film won the Best Film awards at the Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival, the Gladiator Film Festival, and Web3 International Film Festival. An adaptation of the play “Dernier Acte” by French novelist Gilbert Cesbron, the film story is based on true political events that often happen in many territories, but it was written anonymously without geographical specifications. Cesbron’s work is characterized by a great sensitivity to human suffering and an unwavering optimism about the possibility of change and progress. It tells the story of a government criticizer who is prosecuted and arrested while he was visiting his family. The conversation between the writer and one of the authorities leads to an unexpected ending. Gia Mora, James Wagner, Armin Amiri, Mohammad Motalegh, Shelby Seiler, Esmaeel G. Adivi, Shailene Farabi, and Danill Vederikov are in the cast. Shahab Hosseini, 50, is an actor, producer, director, and screenwriter. He is known for his collaborations with Iranian Academy Award-winning director Asghar Farhadi in “About Elly” (2009), “A Separation” (2011), and “The Salesman” (2016). His accolades include a Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actor, a Silver Bear for Best Actor, and a Crystal Simorgh for Best Actor. He has played in over 60 films and 15 TV series in more than 20 years. He has also directed four feature films, a play and a TV show. “The Last Act” is his second directing experience in the U.S. following “The Writer Is Dead”. The International Film Festival of Salerno was founded in 1946. Since birth, it has been characterized as a competitive event for Italian and international productions, offering a continuous comparison on the developments of world cinematography. The festival assigns to cinema an important social function and its finality is to constantly adapt its line with an eye to the evolution of technologies and new audiovisual media. It absolves its original task of divulgation and cinematographic literacy, in line with its tradition. SS/SABBy Conor Ryan The final score in Sunday’s game between the Patriots and Dolphins mapped out a 34-15 loss for New England. But in reality, this game was far more uncompetitive than whatever can be gleaned from a 19-point disparity. New England spotted Miami 31 unanswered points to open the game, with porous offensive-line play keeping Drake Maye’s aerial attack grounded and a regressing defense dissected by Tua Tagovailoa (four touchdowns, 317 passing yards). “The last thing I told the guys, ‘It’s all about us,’ and this is before the game,” Jerod Mayo said after a lackluster showing in Miami Gardens. “I said, ‘It’s about us. It’s not about anybody else. It’s about us and making a commitment to one another.’ That’s what the game really came down to. “It’s us going out there, kicking ourselves in the butt or stomping our toe against the wall because of penalties. We don’t have a team.... I don’t think any team wants to go backwards in any [case], but we did that today.” To make matters worse, New England kept on shooting itself in the foot due to a parade of penalties. New England was whistled for 13 total penalties on Sunday, 10 of which were accepted by Miami for a total of 75 total yards. While penalty totals can sometimes be inflated by post-snap calls made by the officials such as pass interference — New England was whistled for six pre-snap infractions. Be it tackles in Vederian Lowe and Demontrey Jacobs whistled for false starts or both Austin Hooper and Anfernee Jennings not lining up properly as part of neutral-zone infractions — New England had way too many self-inflicted miscues that either stalled momentum or gifted an already lethal Miami offense easy yards. Sunday’s loss might have represented a frustrating low point for New England when it comes to penalty issues. But it’s also far from an outlier, with the Patriots entering Week 12 averaging 7.73 penalties per contest. “Look, it starts with me. It starts with me,” Mayo said. “We’ve had these hiccups of games where the penalties really affected us, and it did today.” Be it the offensive line or an overall defense that has been eroded by injuries, absences, and an overall decline in play, Drake Maye has been arguably the one part of the roster that has moved in the right direction for New England as of late. And while Maye’s turnover woes (one interception, one strip sack) reared their collective head on Sunday, New England’s repeated miscues in pass protection and discipline have lingered for much longer. New England might roll with the punches with a rookie QB like Maye when it comes to his growing pains. But the Patriots don’t have the margin for error in place to remain competitive with so many flags hitting the gridiron. “I mean, that’s why we’re coaches. We got to find a solution, whether that’s... You got to figure out what lever to pull to get a guy going,” Mayo said. “Sometimes, look, it could look good during the week, and then you get into the game, and it’s a surprise.” The Patriots’ personnel on the field also left a lot to be desired. Both Jacobs and Lowe struggled to keep the pocket clean for Maye, while multiple stalwarts in New England’s secondary had no answers for Jaylen Waddle (eight catches, 144 yards, 1 TD) and Jonnu Smith (nine catches, 87 yards, 1 TD). Even though Mayo bemoaned New England’s lapses in execution, he added that just about everyone in the Patriots’ locker room on Sunday will want to burn the tape the following morning. “Look, once those guys cross the white lines, there’s nothing I can do for them,” Mayo said. “There’s nothing any coach can do for them once they cross the white line. It’s my job to continue to prepare not only them, but our coaches to go out here and play better football.” Conor Ryan Conor Ryan is a staff writer covering the Bruins, Celtics, Patriots, and Red Sox for Boston.com, a role he has held since 2023.

Emi Martinez began the night by walking onto the field with his children and parading a pair of trophies for being the world’s best goalkeeper for the last two years. He finished it by producing an astonishing save that vindicated those awards. The Argentina international illuminated a 0-0 draw between his Aston Villa team and Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday by and scooping it off the goal line to deny Francisco Conceição what could have been the winner. Replays showed the ball was almost entirely over the line before Martinez hooked it clear, and the goalkeeper was quickly congratulated by his teammates. No save by Martinez will ever beat the one he pulled off for Argentina in the last seconds of extra time in the , denying France striker Randal Kolo Muani and keeping teammate Lionel Messi’s dream alive of finally winning soccer’s biggest prize. He might just have run it close. It was fitting he produced his wonder save against Juve on the night the two Yashin Trophies he claimed at the Ballon d’Or awards ceremony in each of the past two years. The most recent one came last month. As for Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio, he finished the game relieved that what appeared to be a mistake in the final seconds of stoppage time didn't cost his team. Di Gregorio spilled a cross under pressure from Villa defender Diego Carlos and Morgan Rogers was there to poke the ball into the net. A goal was awarded by the on-field referee but after a two-minute check, it was ruled out for a foul on Di Gregorio by Carlos. ___ AP soccer: Steve Douglas, The Associated Press
