Japan's Fair Trade Commission plans to issue a cease-and-desist order against Google for violating the anti-monopoly law, sources said Sunday. The Japanese antitrust watchdog found that the U.S. company has forced smartphone makers to install its search app, the people said. Google will be the first U.S. technology giant to receive a cease-and-desist order from the FTC. The FTC has notified Google of the plan and will make a final decision after hearing opinions from the company, the people said. Google has signed contracts with makers of smartphones that run its Android operating system to have them install its Google Search and Google Chrome apps on home screens in exchange for allowing them to install their own app stores, the people said. The company has also signed contracts with the smartphone makers to allow Google to pay a portion of the revenue from its paid search ads service to them on condition that they do not install rival search apps, the people said.
It’s been an offseason of dramatic change in the WNBA coaching landscape. Seven head coaches departed the organization they previously led, and eight new head coach hirings were made. None of the head coaches who were fired were rehired as head coaches elsewhere. Three of the new head coaches — Karl Smesko (Dream), Lynne Roberts (Sparks), and Chris Koclanes (Wings) — are coming directly from college. Three coaches are fresh off of stints as WNBA assistant coaches — Tyler Marsh (Sky), Natalie Nakase (Valkyries), and Sydney Johnson (Wings). One — Rachid Meziane — hails from overseas basketball. Is your head spinning yet? SB Nation rounded up all the coaching changes that were made this offseason — here’s everything you need to know. Atlanta Dream — fired Tanisha Wright, hired Karl Smesko No general manager change : Dan Padover returns for his fourth season as head coach. Karla Smesko has served as the head coach of FGCU’s women’s basketball team since 2002. In that time, he established the team as one of the most consistent mid-major programs in the country. He has the third-highest winning percentage (.845) among active head coaches in NCAA Division I women’s basketball (trailing only UConn ’s Geno Auriemma and LSU ’s Kim Mulkey). And, he has the stamp of approval from his colleagues; in The Athletic’s anonymous coaches poll, he was named the best X’s and O’s practitioners for two consecutive seasons. “I want this to be a fun, exciting style to watch, and I want it to be fun and enjoyable for our players,” said Smesko in his opening press conference. “I believe in pushing the ball, getting up and down the court, obviously known for utilizing the three-point shot, creating a lot of space, attacking the rim, and playing together and sharing the ball.” Related Related Chicago Sky — fired Teresa Weatherspoon, hired Tyler Marsh No general manager change : Jeff Pagliocca returns after two years as general manager. Tyler Marsh is the Chicago Sky’s next head coach. Marsh, most recently an assistant coach on the Las Vegas Aces, has s coached men’s college basketball, in the G-League, and in the NBA prior to joining Becky Hammon’s staff in Las Vegas. Marsh was a player development coach on the Toronto Raptors who won the 2019 NBA championships and subsequently spent two seasons in player development with the Indiana Pacers, from 2020 to 2022. He made his transition to the WNBA in 2022, leading the player development efforts of Las Vegas Aces from 2022 to 2024. He helped lead the Aces to back-to-back championships in 2022 and 2023, and is most well-known for helping elevate the game of Jackie Young, one of the Aces’ Olympic guards, who went from being a relatively inconsistent shooter to a knockdown threat. “The championship teams that I’ve that I’ve been a part of have an elite level of professionalism, an elite level of selflessness and accountability,” Marsh said in his first press conference. “That’s how we want to be here.” Related Related Connecticut Sun — Stephanie White left, hired Rachid Meziane General manager change : The Sun promoted Morgan Tuck to be the next general manager, while former GM Darius Taylor will now lead scouting. Rachid Meziane currently serves as head coach of Villeneuve-d’Ascq , a French club that was the EuroLeague runner-up winners in each of the last two seasons. He also coaches the Belgian women’s national team which came in fourth place at the 2024 Paris Olympics. That veteran experience coaching high-level, big-game basketball could prove to be helpful down the stretch as the franchise pursues a first-ever championship. “He’s such a nice guy — just super laid back and chill,” said Sun general manager Morgan Tuck. Related Related Dallas Wings — fired Latricia Trammell, hired Chris Koclanes General manager change : The Wings hired ex-Sparks coach Curt Miller as their new general manager. Chris Koclanes, a current assistant at USC, will be the Dallas Wing’s next head coach. He was Miller’s longtime defensive coordinator, both with the Los Angeles Sparks (2023) and Connecticut Sun (2016-2022). The Sparks had the league’s third-best defense under Koclanes, while the Sun consistently finished in the top three. “Throughout our extensive search and interview process, Chris continued to rise to the top and check the boxes of our important pillars,” Miller said in an official press release . “He is a servant leader who places a high value on connection, collaboration, and a positive and consistent communication style with all those he coaches. Chris is a fantastic teacher of the game and has an outstanding basketball IQ. He is committed to player development and has a forward-thinking and innovative mind for the game. He is a tireless worker with a foundation built through preparation.” Related Related Golden State Valkyries — hired Natalie Nakase as first coach General manager change : The Valkyries hired Ohemaa Nyanin as their first general manager. Natalie Nakase will serve as the Golden State Valkyries’ inaugural head coach. Nakase spent 10 years coaching in the NBA before joining head coach Becky Hammon’s staff with the Las Vegas Aces ahead of the 2022 WNBA season. She became the first Asian-American coach to win a WNBA title, and helped lead Las Vegas to back-to-back championships. Related Las Vegas Aces — Becky Hammon returns as head coach General manager change : The Aces fired general manager Natalie Williams in October, but have yet to announce a new hire. The Aces’ top two assistants, Natalie Nakase and Tyler Marsh, both depart for head coaching positions. The Aces hired Ty Ellis and Larry Lewis as assistant coaches in their place. Related Los Angeles Sparks — fired Curt Miller, hired Lynne Roberts No general manager change : Raegen Scott Pebley returns for a second season as general manager. The Sparks have found their new head coach: Lynne Roberts, a seasoned Division I coach with 27 seasons of collegiate women’s basketball experience.

Prior to that, she coached at Chico State and Pacific. She is well-known known for utilizing three-pointers and prioritizing efficiency Related Related Indiana Fever — fired Christie Sides, hired Stephanie White General manager change : Amber Cox hired as the Fever’s new general manager, while former GM Linn Dunn will move to a senior adviser role. Stephanie White joins the Fever after two seasons as head coach of the Connecticut Sun, and after an illustrious playing and coaching career in Indiana. White, who grew up in West Lebanon, Indiana, played for the Fever from 2000 to 2004, and was an assistant coach from 2011 to 2014. “First and foremost, it’s home,” White said to ESPN’s Malika Andrews when asked what drew her to the position. “This is a franchise, the Indiana Fever, Indiana Pacers, that’s in my DNA. Grew up in Indiana, played in Indiana, played with the franchise, of course, was a part of the franchise when we won the WNBA championship.” Related Related Minnesota Lynx — Cheryl Reeve returns as head coach General manager change : Former GM Clare Duwelius left to become the general manager of the Unrivaled Basketball League.

The U.S. State Department says it has “taken steps to secure the U.S. embassy” in Syria following the collapse of the Assad government. This comes after the toppling of more than 50 years of a dictatorship there, showing an uncertain way forward for any new government. "The fall of the regime is a fundamental act of justice," President Joe Biden said Sunday , but warned that the significant change will also mark a period of uncertainty for Syria and the region. "As we all turn to the question of what comes next, the United States will work with our partners and the stakeholders in Syria to help them seize an opportunity to manage the risks," President Biden said. The Biden administration plans to lend its support to establishing a transitional government in Syria. The White House is in close communication with stakeholders in the region, including Jordan's King Abdullah. More conversations with leaders are expected in the days ahead. RELATED STORY | Military command of Syria's opposition says Damascus is 'free' of Bashar Assad's rule Other countries and groups have a shared interest in continued stability in Syria, but officials also acknowledged the power vacuum carries risks. White House officials told Scripps News the administration is focused on preventing the ISIS terror group from taking advantage of the situation. "One of the things that we're going to work hard to avoid is ISIS being able to exploit this situation and somehow try to revitalize," White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said in an interview. "That is a message that we are sending to all the opposition groups through various means that this is not the opportunity — should not be the time — for a closer relationship, or any relationship, quite frankly, with Isis." "What we are backing is the Syrian people. And we want to make sure that again, through our interlocutors and through the United Nations, we're doing what we can to see legitimate governance there." The conflict in Syria has spanned multiple administrations and is often considered a proxy for the goals of other international actors, including Russia. Officials pointed in part to President Biden's support of Israel and Ukraine as factors that weakened Iran and Russia's ability to support Assad — and one senior administrator official explained that Assad's departure "changed the equation" in the Middle East. But Republican President-elect Donald Trump has indicated the U.S. relationship with Syria may change when he takes office. "Syria is a mess, but is not our friend," Trump wrote on social media over the weekend. "The United States should have nothing to do with it. This is not our fight." Kirby told Scripps News that for the remaining time the Biden Administration has to set U.S. foreign policy, it would continue its mission to suppress ISIS and support legitimate government in Syria.Canadian consumer confidence plunges after Trump election winGoogle and the US government faced off in a federal court on Monday, as each side delivered closing arguments in a case revolving around the technology giant's alleged unfair domination of online advertising. The trial in a Virginia federal court is Google's second US antitrust case now under way as the US government tries to rein in the power of big tech. In a separate trial, a Washington judge ruled that Google's search business is an illegal monopoly, and the US Justice Department is asking that Google sell its Chrome browser business to resolve the case. The latest case, also brought by the Justice Department, focuses on ad technology for the open web -- the complex system determining which online ads people see when they surf the internet. The vast majority of websites use a trio of Google ad software products that together, leave no way for publishers to escape Google's advertising technology, the plaintiffs allege. Publishers -- including News Corp and Gannett publishing -- complain that they are locked into Google's advertising technology in order to run ads on their websites. "Google is once, twice, three times a monopolist," DOJ lawyer Aaron Teitelbaum told the court in closing arguments. Presiding judge Leonie Brinkema has said that she would deliver her opinion swiftly, as early as next month. Whatever Brinkema's judgment, the outcome will almost certainly be appealed, prolonging a process that could go all the way to the US Supreme Court. The government alleges that Google controls the auction-style system that advertisers use to purchase advertising space online. The US lawyers argue that this approach allows Google to charge higher prices to advertisers while sending less revenue to publishers such as news websites, many of which are struggling to stay in business. The US argues that Google used its financial power to acquire potential rivals and corner the ad tech market, leaving advertisers and publishers with no choice but to use its technology. The government wants Google to divest parts of its ad tech business. Google dismissed the allegations as an attempt by the government to pick "winners and losers" in a diverse market. The company argues that the display ads at issue are just a small share of today's ad tech business. Google says the plaintiffs' definition of the market ignores ads that are also placed in search results, apps and social media platforms and where, taken as a whole, Google does not dominate. "The law simply does not support what the plaintiffs are arguing in this case," said Google's lawyer Karen Dunn. She warned that if Google were to lose the case, the winners would be rival tech giants such as Microsoft, Meta or Amazon, whose market share in online advertising is ascendant as Google's share is falling. The DOJ countered that it simply "does not matter" that Google is competing in the broader market for online ads. "That is a different question" than the market for ads on websites that is the target of the case, said Teitelbaum. Google also points to US legal precedent, saying arguments similar to the government's have been refuted in previous antitrust cases. Dunn also warned that forcing Google to work with rivals in its ad products would amount to government central planning that the court should reject. If the judge finds Google to be at fault, a new phase of the trial would decide how the company should comply with that conclusion. And all that could be moot if the incoming Trump administration decides to drop the case. The president-elect has been a critic of Google's, but he warned earlier this month that breaking it up could be "a very dangerous thing." arp/dw

Hydralazine Market Share, Trends and Competitive Strategies Forecast for 2024-2031 |Whether your hair tends to be straight and greasy, or curly and dry, finding the healthiest shampoo will help your strands reach their full potential. Yes, your hair will keep your hair and scalp clean, dermatologists say, but the benefits go beyond that. "Not only does the scalp contain hair follicles, but it also has sebaceous glands, which make the oil in our hair," Dr. Zakia Rahman, clinical professor of dermatology at Stanford Medicine, tells TODAY.com. If we don't cleanse the scalp on a routine basis, that oil can build up and become "an all-you-can-eat buffet for the bacteria and fungi that live on the surface of the scalp," Rahman explains. That's where shampoo comes in. In addition to oil, shampoo helps remove sweat and environmental pollutants from the scalp and hair, Dr. Shari Lipner, associate professor of clinical dermatology at the Weill Cornell Medical Center, tells TODAY.com. Shampoo also helps remove "the kinds of things we apply to our hair, such as sprays, lotions and oils," she adds. While the job of shampoo may be relatively straightforward, finding the healthiest shampoo for your particular hair can be a challenge. Your hair and scalp type, as well as certain conditions like scalp psoriasis or dandruff, should all factor in to your choice of shampoo, the experts say. You should choose a shampoo that's designed to work for your hair type, such as straight, fine or curly, the explains. So, to find the healthiest shampoo for you, you'll first need to observe your hair and scalp to know what you need, the experts say. In general, Lipner recommends thinking about shampoo in terms of its cleansing ingredients: These are mainly sulfates, Lipner says, and they're very effective at removing oil and sweat from the scalp and hair. While these are generally the best at cleaning, they can cause the scalp and hair to feel dry or rough if used too frequently, the experts say. These ingredients may not be as effective at cleaning or lathering as anionic detergents, but "they give the hair softness and make the hair very manageable," Lipner explains. That makes cationic detergents a better choice for folks with hair. A common cationic surfactant in shampoo is cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, Lipner says. You can also find these ingredients in and conditioning shampoos. Amphoteric detergents are often used in gentle shampoos and even baby shampoos. They clean and lather well and don't sting your eyes, Lipner says. On an ingredients list, you'll see amphoteric detergents listed as betaines and derivatives of imadazolium, Lipner says. There are a few ingredients in shampoos designed specifically to help manage Rahman explains. Those ingredients generally target malaessezia, a type of yeast (fungus) that occurs naturally on our scalp. When that yeast gets out of hand, it can cause dandruff. Dandruff can be considered the mildest form of seborrheic dermatitis, the AAD says. This condition is linked to , Rahman explains, and treating underlying seborrheic dermatitis can sometimes help reverse the hair loss. When looking for , the experts recommend looking out for common ingredients like zinc pyrithione, salicylic acid, ketoconazole and selenium sulfide. There really isn't a one-size-fits-all , Lipner says, because it depends on your individual scalp and hair type, your behaviors (like how often you work out) and the hair products you use. In general, though, "people with oily scalps are going to want to wash their hair daily," she says. If you wash your hair and find that your scalp feels oily or like it has buildup the very next day, you probably have an oilier scalp, Lipner says. On the other hand, those with dry scalps may only need to wash their hair a few times a week, once a week or once every few weeks. Looking at the hair itself, "people with straight hair generally could wash their hair every day," Lipner says. "For people with more curly hair or wavy hair, they're going to want to wash their hair less often." Sulfates, such as sodium-laurel-sulfate (SLS), are common a type of surfactant found in shampoo. That means these compounds cleanse and remove dirt, oil and product from your scalp and hair. "We actually need (sulfates in shampoo) because those are the surfactants that that get in and break apart the oil," Rahman explains. Sulfates have gotten a lot of attention in recent years with claims circulating on social media that they may be carcinogenic. While the carcinogen claims , as TODAY.com explained previously, there are reasons for some people to avoid or minimize the use of sulfates in shampoo. The main concern these days is that the ingredients may cause scalp irritation, Rahman says. While surfactants are necessary to clean, "if they're left on the surface of our scalp, that's when they cause irritation," she says. (Those with sensitive scalps may want to , experts told TODAY.com previously.) When used frequently, sulfate-containing shampoos may leave your hair feeling rough, dull, frizzy and easily tangled, Lipner says. And for people who have chemically treated hair or colored hair, sulfates may strip the color, she adds. That's why both experts suggest alternating your shampoos every once in a while. For her patients with dandruff, for instance, Rahman recommends using their anti-dandruff shampoo only once a week to keep the hair from drying out. And, of course, shampoo is only one part of the equation — most of us will need a moisturizing conditioner alongside our shampoo, Rahman says.
Report: Chargers expect WR Ladd McConkey, LB Khalil Mack to play vs. RavensSEOUL: Kia, South Korea's second-biggest carmaker by sales, said on Sunday it will launch the compact SUV “Syros" in India next year to boost sales. Kia, the maker of K5 sedans and Sorento SUVs, unveiled the new model for the first time in India on Sunday. The Syros SUV will be released in two trims, one with a 1.0-liter gasoline turbocharged engine and the other with a 1.5-litre diesel engine, the company said in a press release. Starting with sales in India, Kia plans to introduce the compact car in the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America and the Middle East, it said, reports Yonhap news agency. The new model is equipped with safety features such as the front collision avoidance, lane-keeping assistance, surround view monitor and driver awareness warning systems. The company didn't provide the vehicle's price. Meanwhile, Kia India has announced up to 2 per cent price hike across its entire lineup, effective from January 1, “primarily due to rising commodity prices and escalating supply chain-related costs”. “At Kia, we are committed to delivering exceptional, technologically advanced vehicles of the highest quality to our valued customers. However, due to the persistent rise in commodity prices, unfavourable exchange rates, and increased input costs, a necessary price adjustment has become unavoidable,” said Hardeep Singh Brar, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Kia India. Despite these challenges, Kia is absorbing a significant portion of the cost increase, minimizing the financial impact on our customers, so they can continue enjoying their favourite Kia vehicles without major dent on their pockets, he added. Kia has sold 1.6 million units in India and overseas markets combined to date. Its best-selling innovation, Seltos, has surpassed 670,000-unit sales, followed by Sonet with over 480,000 units, Carens with 214,400 units and Carnival with over 15,000 units.
