Panera Bread’s charged lemonade drinks are under scrutiny after lawsuits claim they took the lives of two people and left others with permanent health defects.

In October, after the first complaint against the chain was filed, some Panera locations put up signs in front of the charged lemonade dispensers with increased warning, but still have the drinks available.

Panera’s 30-ounce charged lemonade contains more caffeine than both Red Bull and Monster energy drink combined with 390 milligrams of caffeine, very close to the FDA’s 400-milligram daily maximum intake.

Dennis Brown died on Oct. 9 after consuming three cups of Panera’s Charged Lemonade, and
Sarah Katz, a 21-year-old college student with a heart condition, died in September 2022 after drinking Panera’s caffeinated lemonade.

After Sarah’s passing, Panera filed to have the case dismissed, that request that was rejected by a judge.

After Browns passing and lawsuit, Panera Bread issued the statement, “Panera expresses our deep sympathy for Mr. Brown’s family,” but that, based on its investigation, the company believes “his unfortunate passing was not caused by one of the company’s products. We view this lawsuit, which was filed by the same law firm as a previous claim, to be equally without merit. Panera stands firmly by the safety of our products”

After a 17-year hiatus, André 3000 is making a long awaited return to the music scene with his latest creation, "New Blue Sun." The 87-minute album is scheduled for release on Friday, Nov. 17.

Very different from his previous works, this album explores experimental territory, and will not feature traditional rap lyrics or beats. André showcases his musical genius through an array of flutes, including contrabass, Mayan, and bamboo, complemented by digital wind instruments.

The absence of traditional rap lyrics is offset by eight long song titles. One song title playfully acknowledges a missed rap album stating, "I swear, I Really Wanted To Make A 'Rap' Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time."

In an interview with NPR Music, André dives into the album's creation process and the reasons behind its release. He shares that he sought feedback from fellow artists Tyler the Creator and Frank Ocean, whose opinions he greatly respects. Their positive reactions, along with others, provided the confirmation he needed to share this unique album with the world.

14 year old Heman Bekele who was born in Ethiopia and is a resident of Fairfax Virginia, created a soap that could potentially treat skin cancer.

According to Bekele, when skin cancer cells develop, they damage dendritic cells in the body that boost human immune responses which in turn allows skin cancer cells to thrive.

Bekele created the soap in 8th grade with ingredients that could potentially reactivate the dendritic cells that help eliminate cancer cells.

It does this as a sort of a compound-based bar of soap," he said. "It's charged with different cancer fighting chemicals. And the main one, there is this drug called imidazoquinolines."

At about only $8.50 to create a batch of 20 bars, the skin cancer treatment soap will be more affordable than some other treatments.

Heman’s innovation won first prize last month at the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, an annual competition that gives 5th through 8th graders "the chance to change their world for the better with a single innovative idea," according to the 3M Young Scientist Lab. He earned the title America's Top Young Scientist and a $25,000 prize.

He is an incredibly bright, passionate and focused young man," said Deborah Isabelle, Heman's mentor for the 3M Young Scientist Challenge and a product engineering specialist at 3M.

According to Isabelle, the soap could be potentially used for cancer treatments in the future. As of now the soap has only been used in digital molecular testing and will have to be used in clinical trials before being approved for use. The process could take up to 5-10 years.

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an inquiry into allegations that the NBA tried to undermine Ice Cube's Big3 basketball league. The DOJ has been investigating these claims for several months, looking into alleged anticompetitive behavior by the NBA aimed at hindering the growth of the Big3.

These allegations include the NBA allegedly using its influence to deter sponsors and potential partners from collaborating with the Big3. The NBA is also accused of discouraging television networks from broadcasting Big3 games. Cube and his business partner, Jeff Kwatinetz, founded the 3-on-3 league primarily featuring retired NBA players in 2017.

Although some current NBA players have expressed interest in participating in the Big3 during the offseason, the Big3 believes the NBA has imposed arbitrary rules to prevent players from joining Cube's league. Big3 officials feel unfairly targeted by the NBA.

Additionally, it's been reported that NBA owners have been discouraged from investing in the Big3 while owning an NBA franchise. Even referees have faced restrictions, being told they cannot officiate Big3 games, despite working for other organizations outside the NBA.

Ice Cube and Kwatinetz met with DOJ lawyers earlier this year as part of the investigation, and the DOJ has reached out to NBA owners. If the DOJ finds that the NBA committed antitrust violations, it could result in a substantial fine. The NBA has denied the allegations, stating that they have supported the Big3 from its inception but declined to invest in it financially.

Former ‘Basketball Wives’ star British Williams was sentenced today in her ongoing fraud case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Diane Klocke argued for a strict sentence, and pointed to the fact that Williams kept committing fraud even after she was indicted. She also counseled other people telling them they didn’t have to file taxes for the first few years of running a business.

Williams asked for leniency in her sentencing saying, “I knew better, and I did wrong anyway," also adding that being away from her daughter would be “heartbreaking.”

Judge Henry Autrey was not persuaded by the defense and stated that Williams had a “fraudster mentality.” He sentenced her to four years in prison, five years of supervision and $564,069 in restitution.

The former reality star plead guilty to 15 felony counts in May including misusing Social Security numbers, making false statements to the IRS, and wire fraud.

Williams’ criminal activities ranged from underreporting income and claiming false dependents on tax returns, to Pandemic fraud.

Williams also opened bank accounts using stolen Social Security numbers and deposited checks taken from other people’s accounts without their knowledge, committing bank fraud.
She also was convicted to submitting false medical bills to insurance companies to receive large payouts.
