WHIM Syndrome Pipeline Analysis 2024: FDA Approvals and Emerging Therapies, Clinical Trials, Therapies, Mechanism of Action, Route of Administration, and Developments | X4 Pharmaceuticals, NIAIDBy FARNOUSH AMIRI, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Rep. Matt Gaetz said Friday that he will not be returning to Congress after withdrawing his name from consideration to be attorney general under President-elect Donald Trump amid growing allegations of sexual misconduct. “I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress,” Gaetz told conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, adding that he has “some other goals in life that I’m eager to pursue with my wife and my family.” Related Articles The announcement comes a day after Gaetz, a Florida Republican, stepped aside from the Cabinet nomination process amid growing fallout from federal and House Ethics investigations that cast doubt on his ability to be confirmed as the nation’s chief federal law enforcement officer. The 42-year-old has vehemently denied the allegations against him. Gaetz’s nomination as attorney general had stunned many career lawyers inside the Justice Department, but reflected Trump’s desire to place a loyalist in a department he has marked for retribution following the criminal cases against him. Hours after Gaetz withdrew, Trump nominated Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general, who would come to the job with years of legal work under her belt and that other trait Trump prizes above all: loyalty. It’s unclear what’s next for Gaetz, who is no longer a member of the House. He surprised colleagues by resigning from Congress the same day that Trump nominated him for attorney general. Some speculated he could still be sworn into office for another two-year term on Jan. 3, given that he had just won reelection earlier this month. But Gaetz, who has been in state and national politics for 14 years, said he’s done with Congress. “I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress,” he said.

The two-stage, 62-meter-tall Long March 12 lifted off at 9:25 a.m. Eastern (1425 UTC) Nov. 30 from the Wenchang Commercial Space Launch Site. The rocket climbed into the night sky above the coastal spaceport, with amateur live streams from the area capturing the event. The Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST), the rocket’s maker, declared launch success within an hour of liftoff. SAST announced the previously undisclosed payloads on the flight to be the experimental “Satellite Internet Technology Test Satellite” and “Technology Test Satellite-3”. No details of the spacecraft were provided. The kerosene-fueled Long March 12 is China’s first 3.8-meter-diameter launch vehicle. It can carry a payload of 12,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit (LEO), and 6,000 kg to sun-synchronous orbit (SSO), according to SAST. The new rocket could play a role in the construction of China’s planned LEO megaconstellations. The launch is a step forward for SAST in bringing new rockets online, for its parent company CASC in the development of new rocket engines for its lunar plans and, through the debut launch from the new commercial Wenchang spaceport , the easing of a bottleneck in access to launch pads in China. It is distinct from Wenchang’s existing national spaceport and is made to enable higher launch frequencies for multiple CASC and commercial rockets. China had aimed to launch around 70 Long March rockets in 2024 and approximately another 30 launches from commercial providers. A lack of reusable launchers and options for launch pads likely contributed to the slower than expected pace, with the launch being China’s 59th orbital launch attempt with just a month of 2024 remaining. The launch was the first flight use of the YF-100K engine, with the Long March 12 using four YF-100K engines on its first stage. The YF-100K is an uprated version of the YF-100 kerosene-liquid oxygen engines that power China’s new-generation liquid propellant rockets. These newer rockets include the Long March 5, 6, 7 and 8. The YF-100K notably will power the first stages of the Long March 10 rocket . That launcher is intended to send China’s astronauts to the moon before the end of the decade. A reusable version of the engine, the YF-100N, is also being developed. It is unclear how the Long March 12 will be used, with it being in the same class as the existing Long March 7 and several launchers from China’s commercial sector. It is, however, a much more economical option than the Long March 7, which was designed to be rated for human spaceflight and is used to send cargo spacecraft to the Tiangong space station. The Long March 12 has a much lower mass at takeoff (430,000 kg and 597,000 kg for Long March 7) and does not feature side boosters. It also has a much larger payload fairing volume—with either 4.2m or 5.2m-diameter fairings—thus making it potentially very useful for China’s Guowang and Qianfan/Thousand Sails megaconstellations. The latter project alone envisions 14,000 satellites in LEO, which would require launching an average of just over seven satellites per day , every day, until the end of the decade. SAST has also revealed plans to develop reusable methane-liquid oxygen launchers. It has conducted a successful vertical takeoff, vertical landing (VTVL) test using a 3.8-meter-diameter methalox test article. The launch was China’s 59th orbital launch attempt of 2024, following the first launch of the enhanced commercial Zhuque-2 methane-liquid oxygen rocket Nov. 26. Another Zhuque-2E rocket could fly as soon as December, while a Long March 5B with an unknown payload could also fly before the end of the year. Launches from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center are also expected in early December.

Jones added six rebounds for Marquette (8-0), which is off to its best start since winning 10 straight to begin the 2011-12 campaign that ended with a Sweet 16 appearance. Ben Gold added 12 points, while Stevie Mitchell scored 10 and had three steals. David Joplin, Caedin Hamilton and Royce Parham each netted nine points for the Golden Eagles. The Catamounts (2-4) were led by Bernard Pelote's 13 points and eight boards. Jamar Livingston chipped in 10 points and CJ Hyland bundled five points with five rebounds and six assists. Marquette controlled most of the game, thanks largely to 51.4 percent shooting and 21 takeaways. The Golden Eagles built a 16-point lead in the first half before Western Carolina clawed within 37-28 with 3:55 left. Marquette responded with a 12-2 run to take a 49-30 advantage into the break, its largest lead of the game to that point. The game quickly got out of hand from there, with the Golden Eagles eventually scoring 11 straight points to push its lead to 81-45 with 7:15 remaining. Marquette finished with 26 points off of Catamount turnovers and hit 14 of 40 shots (35.0 percent) from 3-point range. The win wasn't all smooth sailing for the Golden Eagles, who lost backup guard Zaide Lowery to an apparent left knee injury. Lowery was helped off the court and into the locker room by his teammates with 1:36 left in the game. Saturday's game was a final tune-up for Marquette, which has three challenging games coming up against No. 5 Iowa State, No. 15 Wisconsin and Dayton before Big East conference play begins Dec. 18. --Field Level Media
