Bloomberg’s foundation has invested $200 million so far in a voluntary worldwide health initiative that incentives cities to adopt policies focusing on one of ten major health issues – smoking, air pollution, Bloomberg’s nemesis sugary sodas, and so on. Cities that sign on for the Partnership for Healthy Cities get $5 million in funding from Bloomberg Philanthropies, plus technical support in putting those policies through an effective manner. Cities ranging from Melbourne to Kampala, Medellin, and Khatmandu have agreed to take on public health challenges in exchange for the cash (and, presumably, the health benefits that will go along with it), and Bloomberg is quoted as being optimistic that his fight for better public health is a winning one: Cape Town, South Africa was one of the first cities to sign up for the Partnership for Healthy Cities, facing an epidemic of obesity-linked type 2 diabetes....

After the American companies rejected his deal, Ball said he’d reach out to Chinese companies. However, those brands are usually looking for established NBA players who are nearing the end of their careers, not incoming rookies. Of course, LaVar isn’t used to taking no for an answer, so he’s simply going to produce the shoes himself....

Stunt took to social media to defend himself, calling the charges the “biggest miscarriage of justice.” He went on to say “Forgery FYI is my PA with my permission using my signature on my own cheque on my own personal account lmao…” We’re not sure we’re buying Stunt’s claims of innocence.
