| Stocks making the biggest moves midday: Under Armour, T-Mobile, Sprint, Facebook and more - CNBC Posted: 11 Feb 2020 11:48 PM PST  Shoppers pass an Under Armour store in White Plains, New York. Scott Mlyn | CNBC Check out the companies making headlines in midday trading. Under Armour — Under Armour's stock plunged 19% after missing revenue estimates for the fourth quarter. The sports apparel company reported adjusted earnings of 10 cents per share, in line with estimates, but its $1.441 billion of revenue was below the $1.465 billion expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv. Under Armour also said it expected its sales to take a hit due to the coronavirus outbreak and that it is considering possible restructuring this year. Sprint, T-Mobile — Shares of Sprint soared 77.5% after a federal judge approved the $26 billion merger between the company and rival wireless carrier T-Mobile. The deal still needs to be approved by the California Public Utilities Commission before it can close. Shares of T-Mobile also jumped more than 11.8%. Facebook — Shares of Facebook slipped 2.8% after Pivotal researched downgraded the social media giant to sell from hold. Pivotal said in a note to clients that it was concerned about regulatory issues and advertising growth for Facebook. The financial firm also lowered its price target on the stock to $180 from $215, projecting shares to decline by more than 11%. The Mark Zuckerberd-led company also dipped on news that the FTC is looking into past acquisitions of major technology companies, including Facebook. AutoNation — Shares of car retailer AutoNation jumped 6.3% following its quarterly earnings. AutoNation reported earnings per share of $1.74, which is unclear if it compares to analyst estimates. Revenue came in at $5.549 billion, topping estimates of $5.533 billion, according to Refinitiv. Nvidia — Shares of the semiconductor company rose 1.9% after Oppenheimer hiked its price target on Nvidia to $300 per share from $250 per share. Nvidia reports quarterly earnings on Thursday. Occidental Petroleum — Shares of the exploration and production company gained 1.7% after the company issued guidance for fourth quarter results. The company said impairment and other charges would total around $1 billion for the quarter, but also said that annual production is expected to grow 2%. "Production/capex guidance was strong in all of the right areas, with better than expected production (both 4Q actuals and 2020 guidance), and lower than expected capex," Simons Energy analyst Ryan Todd said. DaVita — Shares of the dialysis company surged 7% following its strong earnings report. DaVita earned $1.86 per share, topping estimates of $1.66, according to Refinitiv. Deutsche Bank also raised its price target on DaVita to $105 per share from $72 per share. Advanced Micro Devices — Shares of the chip stock rose 3% after RBC Capital Markets raised its target price on AMD to $63 per share from $53 per share. The firm said it sees several notable catalysts ahead of AMD's analyst day in March. Boston Beer — Shares of Boston Beer spiked 6.9% after Credit Suisse upgraded the beer company to outperform from neutral. The firm said it sees continued growth in the company's hard seltzer business. CrowdStrike — Shares of cyber-security technology company CrowdStrike rose 3% following an upgrade to buy from neutral from D.A. Davidson. The firm said it is seeing increasing traction with CrowdStrike's products the will help enable APR growth well above Street estimates in the next 12 months. L Brands — Shares of L Brands rose 1.9% following an upgrade to neutral from underperform from Credit Suisse. The firm said the company that it sees less valuation downside on a sale of the Victoria's Secret brand and recent outperformance from Bath & Body Works. Goodyear— Shares of the time company tumbled 12.4% after reporting dismal quarterly earnings. The company reported earnings of 19 cents per share, compared to the estimated earnings of 52 cents per share, according to FacSet. Goodyear also missed analyst expectations on revenue. The company also said its operating in China have been impacted by the coronavirus. — with reporting from CNBC's Jesse Pound and Pippa Stevens.

| The coronavirus appears to be sparing one group of people: Kids - CNBC Posted: 11 Feb 2020 11:40 PM PST  Bangladeshi students wear masks for protection against Coronavirus on January 29, 2020. Mehedi Hasan | NurPhoto | Getty Images The new coronavirus that has already killed more people than the 2003 SARS epidemic appears to be sparing one population group: kids. Of the more than 43,100 people it's infected since Dec. 31, World Health Organization officials say the majority are over 40 years old and it's hitting those with underlying health conditions and the elderly particularly hard. "Increasing age increases the risk for death," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO's emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said Thursday at a news conference at the agency's headquarters in Geneva. "It appears even over 80 is the highest risk factor." Fortunately for many worried parents, there appear to be few confirmed cases of the virus among children so far. Officials caution that the virus is so new, there is still a lot that they don't know about it and the data they are seeing today will likely look different a month from now. About 80% of people who died from the virus in China were over the age of 60, and 75% had pre-existing conditions such as heart disease or diabetes, according to a recent report from China's National Health Commission. A small study published Jan 30 in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet found that the average age of coronavirus patients was roughly 55 years old. The study looked at 99 patients at Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan, China, from Jan. 1 to Jan. 20. Last week, Singapore confirmed a case in a 6-month-old baby whose parents were also both infected, and an infant in China was born Feb. 2 with the virus. The baby's mother also tested positive. But infections in children appear to rare for now, according to a Feb. 5 study in the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Medical Association. Symptoms can include a sore throat, runny nose, fever or pneumonia and can progress to multi-organ failure or even death in some cases, world health officials say. Some infectious disease specialists and scientists say older adults may be more vulnerable to the virus, which has been named COVID-19, due to their weaker immune systems. With age, immune systems weaken, leaving the elderly at an especially higher risk of developing serious complications from a respiratory illness, public health officials say. "It's usually the very old, sometimes the very young and certainly people with other medical conditions who typically have more severe manifestations," said Isaac Bogoch, an infectious disease specialist and professor at the University of Toronto. The apparent lack of children among confirmed coronavirus cases could also be because they are getting infected but developing more mild symptoms and aren't being reported to local authorities, according to Marc Lipsitch, a professor of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health. World health officials say they are working to improve surveillance of the disease and expect more mild cases to be reported. It could be a while before we have a clear picture on cases, Lipsitch said. "The data is coming out in so many places and so many forms," he said in a recent interview. The differences in symptoms among different age groups are seen in other respiratory illnesses as well. The seasonal flu, which infects millions in the U.S. each year, can usually be more severe in adults than children. Thousands of children are hospitalized each year from the flu, but death is rare, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, between 50% and 70% of flu-related hospitalizations in the U.S. occur in people 65 years and older, and between 70% and 85% of deaths occur in the same age group, the CDC says. The lack of confirmed cases in children was also seen in another coronavirus. During the 2003 outbreak of SARS, which sickened 8,098 people and killed about 800 over nine months, the vast majority of cases infected older adults, according to WHO data. The case-fatality ratio for people age 24 or younger was less than 1%, according to WHO. Even if children are only developing mild symptoms, Lipsitch said scientists still need to know whether they can still infect others at high rates. "This is a key uncertainty that needs to be resolved," he said. When asked whether mild cases are transmitting the virus, Kerkhove of WHO said Thursday that more studies need to be conducted. "We need to look at mild individuals all the way to severe individuals," Kerkhove said. "That systematic data collection and that sampling of mild cases, as well as severe cases, is something that is really urgently required for us to get a clear handle on this."

| There's Something Special About Bat Immunity That Makes Them Ideal Viral Incubators - ScienceAlert Posted: 11 Feb 2020 11:32 PM PST  Ebola. SARS. Rabies. MERS. Most probably even the flourishing new coronavirus, CORVID-19. There's one animal that innocently and unwittingly gifts all these virulent scourges to humanity. Bats. Why is that? According to new research, it's because bats may be the ultimate incubator, courtesy of a fiercely effective and robust immune system that seems to, in effect, train up viral strains, encouraging them to adapt and evolve into becoming as fit and infectious as they possibly can. It's an unfortunate side effect of what is otherwise an awesome survival mechanism. Not unfortunate for bats, that is, but certainly for other species – because when viruses manage to leap from bats to other sorts of animals, including humans, the recipients' immune responses aren't equipped to counter these attuned, efficient, and highly transmissible pathogens. "The bottom line is that bats are potentially special when it comes to hosting viruses," says disease ecologist Mike Boots from UC Berkeley. "It is not random that a lot of these viruses are coming from bats." In a new study, Boots and fellow researchers investigated virus infectivity on bat cell lines, including cultures from the Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) and the Australian black flying fox (Pteropus alecto). Cells called Vero cells from a monkey (the African green monkey, Chlorocebus), were also used as a control, but these monkey cells were at a definite disadvantage. That's because one of the molecular mechanisms in bats' immune systems is the lightning fast production of a signalling molecule called interferon-alpha, which is triggered in the response of viruses. When interferon proteins are secreted by virus-infected cells, nearby cells go into a defensive, antiviral state. The African green monkey cell line does not possess such advantages. In experiments, when the cell cultures were exposed to viruses mimicking Ebola and Marburg virus, the monkey cells were quickly overwhelmed. The bat cells, on the other hand, resisted the viral onslaught, thanks to their rapid interferon signalling. The paradox, though, is that interferon ultimately seems to benefit viruses, even while it hinders their capacity to kill cells. While the signalling system prevents cells from dying, the infection nonetheless holds on, and the virus starts to adapt to the defensive regime, at least according to the team's computer simulations. "This suggests that having a really robust interferon system would help these viruses persist within the host," says biologist and first author of the study, Cara Brook. "When you have a higher immune response, you get these cells that are protected from infection, so the virus can actually ramp up its replication rate without causing damage to its host. But when it spills over into something like a human, we don't have those same sorts of antiviral mechanism, and we could experience a lot of pathology." It's important to note that humans do have interferon-alpha, but bats seem to have a much easier time with viruses than we do. Even when bats are infected with pathogens that can kill humans, they don't demonstrate obvious disease symptoms, but instead carry viruses as long-term persistent infections. That persistence, the researchers say, seems to be encouraged by interferon. More research is needed to investigate why bat interferon systems seem to be more robust and faster than ours. "Critically, we found that bat cell lines demonstrated a signature of enhanced interferon-mediated immune response … which allowed for establishment of rapid within-host, cell-to-cell virus transmission rates," the authors explain in their study. "The antiviral state induced by the interferon pathway protects live cells from mortality in tissue culture, resulting in in vitro epidemics of extended duration that enhance that probability of establishing a long-term persistent infection." The upshot, the team says, is that rapidly replicating viruses that have evolved within bats will probably cause enhanced virulence if they jump to subsequent hosts, including humans, with immune systems that diverge from those unique to bats. Sometimes an intermediary is involved, like pigs, camels, or horses. Whichever animal is unlucky enough to be a spillover host, though, it's unlikely they'll be ready for the fate that awaits them. Nonetheless, knowing how and why this happens is vital to fighting these viruses, no matter how formidable their training, gleaned inside the invulnerable bodies of bats, may have made them. "It is really important to understand the trajectory of an infection in order to be able to predict emergence and spread and transmission," Brook says. The findings are reported in eLife.

| XFL's Roughnecks WR Kahlil Lewis Explains Circumstances of Viral Vomiting Video - Bleacher Report Posted: 11 Feb 2020 10:32 PM PST  Houston Roughnecks wideout Kahlil Lewis learned a lesson Saturday. In his XFL debut, the wide receiver made the mistake of housing a full Gatorade and sprinting down the sideline to celebrate P.J. Walker's 50-yard touchdown pass to Cam Phillips, just three plays into the game. When Lewis lined up for the one-point try, he promptly vomited. And of course, the moment went viral. "I was just too excited. I was screaming, and I had just chugged a whole Gatorade. It came up. That is all," he told Sarah Barshop of ESPN. "It wasn't nerves. None of that, out of shape. Nothing everybody's been coming to me with; it's none of that at all." Never mind his five catches for 45 yards and a touchdown—it was the puke that everyone wanted to talk about. "Oh my gosh, everybody keeps hitting me up about that," he said. "I ran down the field when Cam scored, and I was screaming. I caught myself screaming too hard. I was like, 'Oh, calm down,' but it was already coming back up. So I was just trying to hold it in. That's why it all came out at once." Teammate and fellow wide receiver Sammie Coates added that it was "the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. It was pretty funny, though. ... We've made fun of him for a couple days now." The Roughnecks went on to beat the Los Angeles Wildcats 37-17. And Lewis learned an important life lesson about chugging Gatorade in the process.

| Posted: 11 Feb 2020 10:32 PM PST In 2016 and 2017, a surge of mumps cases at Boston-area universities prompted researchers to study mumps virus transmission using genomic data, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and local university health services. As the outbreaks unfolded, the teams analyzed mumps virus genomes collected from patients, revealing new links between cases that first appeared unrelated and other details about how the disease was spreading that weren't apparent from the epidemiological investigation. The teams shared their sequencing data and findings in real-time during the outbreaks, with both each other and the broader scientific community, and now report their conclusions in PLOS Biology. Analyzing viral genomes from an outbreak can show how a virus is evolving and being transmitted -- data that can help public health officials slow and stop the spread of disease. "High-resolution genomic data about a virus, gathered from patient samples, allows us to reconstruct parts of an outbreak that aren't evident at first," said co-senior author Pardis Sabeti, institute member at the Broad Institute, professor at Harvard University, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. "The better we understand transmission chains in situations like this, the better we can inform efforts to control outbreaks and devise strategies to predict and stop them in the future." In Massachusetts, the typical rate of mumps is less than 10 cases per year -- but more than 250 cases were reported in 2016 and more than 170 in 2017, despite high rates of vaccination. Many of the cases were from 18 colleges and universities in the state, including Harvard University, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Boston University (these three universities met certain criteria to ensure patient privacy protection in this study and agreed to be named in the paper). Other outbreaks flared elsewhere in Boston and across the country around the same time. These patterns of cases raised questions about how much the virus was circulating in the Massachusetts and US populations. To learn more, the research teams paired traditional epidemiological data with analysis of mumps virus whole genome sequences from 201 infected individuals, focusing primarily on the Massachusetts university communities. Mumps insight The viral genomic data revealed details about the Boston-area outbreaks that could not be reconstructed by relying solely on more traditional approaches. For example, the researchers found a clear link between cases at Harvard and an outbreak in East Boston, which were classified as distinct outbreaks during the initial public health investigation. Public health officials first thought the cases in these two communities were unrelated based on several pieces of evidence: epidemiological data, the different demographic makeup of the two populations (older adults with no obvious university connection versus mostly college-aged students), and a long gap between the apparent end of the outbreak at Harvard and the cases in the local community. However, the genomic data indicated that the mumps viruses in the East Boston cases were genetically similar to those in the Harvard virus samples. This finding enabled the teams to identify contacts and transmission links between the university and the wider community. "Even though the two outbreaks were occurring at different places and different times, we were able to show connections between these outbreaks that were operationally informative," explained senior co-author Bronwyn MacInnis, associate director of malaria and viral genomics in the Infectious Disease and Microbiome Program and co-lead of the Global Health Initiative at Broad. "The public health teams could determine that they were essentially dealing with one problem, not two." Understanding such transmission routes can help guide the outbreak response -- for example, by determining whether efforts should be focused more on controlling transmission within a single community or between different ones. "Whole-genome sequencing of patient samples helps us reconstruct the progression of an outbreak," said co-first author Shirlee Wohl, formerly a Harvard graduate student in the Sabeti lab and now a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University. "Traditional outbreak surveillance efforts can help identify possible sources of infection, but whole-genome sequencing can confirm these links and even suggest new, unexplored connections." The team emphasized that this study was made possible by the close partnerships it had with the Massachusetts Department of Health and the health services teams at several universities. "I am proud to be part of the Massachusetts higher education community," Sabeti added. "They worked together and demonstrated the necessity of transparency in outbreak response. This is not a story of mumps at these universities, but of outstanding mumps reporting." Mutating mumps? Another question of particular interest to the local teams was whether a new mutation in the mumps virus -- for example, one that allows it to evade the immune system in a vaccinated individual -- might have sparked the outbreak. Of the infected individuals, 65 percent had received the recommended two doses of the MMR vaccine. However, given the available data, the researchers found no evidence that genetic variants arising specifically during this outbreak contributed to the disease spread. This finding suggests that, in the Boston area, the virus wasn't evolving into one that could dodge vaccine-induced immunity. In addition to the findings related to the Boston-area outbreaks, the study's broader geographic analysis suggested that the mumps virus has been circulating continuously at a low rate around the US, only rarely flaring up into notable outbreaks as in 2016 and 2017. "This whole endeavor demonstrated the value of genetic data to the epidemiological health response, and of data-sharing among collaborating teams," Sabeti said. "One of our goals is to build this capacity in many areas around the world so that public health officials can rapidly mobilize and do this type of analysis whenever they need to."

| Lightning’s Yanni Gourde breaks goal drought in overtime win - Tampa Bay Times Posted: 11 Feb 2020 09:37 PM PST  PITTSBURGH — Yanni Gourde threw an emphatic fist pump. Victor Hedman cut Brayden Point off to get behind the net and grab Gourde from behind in a big hug. The rest of the team was only a few steps away to join in the celebration. As the group hug broke up, Kevin Shattenkirk hugged Gourde, then Luke Schenn. Cedric Paquette joined and it became another group hug. Everyone wanted a piece of the hero. This wasn't really about Gourde giving the Lightning a 2-1 overtime win over the Penguins. It was about him doing so to break his 35-game goal slump. "It feels good, it feels really good," Gourde said. "It was really great to score a goal at the end there. Finally." Hedman, Point and Gourde were fresh on the ice when he scored. Hedman drew the play up in the zone and then fed the puck to Point, who passed to Gourde and continued to the back door, ready for a potential pass. That move froze goalie Matt Murray in the net and created a near-side opening for Gourde, who roofed the puck over the outstretched glove. "That was awesome," Hedman said. "I'm so happy for Gordo. He's the guy who works his back off every night and you know that's a tough stretch to go through." Gourde earned that goal to break the slump and the Lightning earned the win to extend their point streak to 10 games. They played without four of their top players, starting without Steven Stamkos and Ryan McDonagh, then losing Anthony Cirelli and Nikita Kucherov along the way. The Lightning were playing in their second overtime in as many nights and the fourth straight bump and grind physical game. Gourde's goal followed a two-minute shift of three-on-three play for Mikhail Sergachev, who also scored the Lightning's regulation goal, Mitchell Stephens and Ondrej Palat. Jon Cooper called the win "one of the guttier ones I've seen." That fits. Gourde is one of the "guttier" players on the Lightning. Even going without a goal since Nov. 25, he was not floundering. He has other ways to contribute. "I know I am better than just scoring goals," Gourde said. "I can be effective and relevant to this team even when I'm not scoring." For Gourde that means taking pride in the details, the penalty kill, the forecheck, bringing energy, finishing hits. He knows the team looks to him for those elements. That kept him from losing faith in the long stretch between goals. That's not to say it was easy. From about game 10 (Dec. 14) to game 20 (Jan. 5) without a goal, he thought about it every day. After that, he tried to see past the drought. "When you put the team first, it really shouldn't matter and that's what he's been doing," Cooper said. "The guys love him on the team and he works so hard, it's hard not to root for a guy like that." The goal capped off a closely-played game against a team the Lightning beat at home only five days ago. Andrei Vasilevskiy (35 saves) and Murray (36) both came up big to keep the game close. Each team scored a power-play goal in regulation, Evgeni Malkin in the first period for the Penguins and Sergachev in the second for the Lightning. In the end, continuing the Lightning's win streak came down to breaking a drought. "I'm just glad I scored that goal, finally," Gourde said. Contact Diana C. Nearhos at dnearhos@tampabay.com.

| XFL Roughnecks' Kahlil Lewis works to set record straight after viral vomit video - ESPN Posted: 11 Feb 2020 09:32 PM PST HOUSTON -- In the days since the Houston Roughnecks' XFL opener on Saturday, wide receiver Kahlil Lewis has heard from a lot of people about what he did in the game. No, it wasn't about any of his five catches for 45 yards, including a touchdown, or the 37-17 Roughnecks victory over the Los Angeles Wildcats. Instead, they were contacting him about something that happened in the first quarter. Three plays into the game, Roughnecks quarterback P.J. Walker threw a 50-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Cam Phillips. Lewis ran down the field to celebrate after chugging a whole bottle of Gatorade, and he was the first player to reach Phillips after he scored. When Lewis was lining up for the 1-point conversion, he threw up. "Oh, my gosh, everybody keeps hitting me up about that," Lewis said. "I ran down the field when Cam scored and I was screaming. I caught myself screaming too hard. I was like, 'Oh, calm down,' but it was already coming back up. "So I was just trying to hold it in. That's why it all came out at once." After the video went viral, Lewis started hearing from friends and people sending GIFs from the video, as well the vomiting emoji. In those texts and messages, he has heard the whole gamut of reasons for why he vomited. He wanted to set the record straight. "I was just too excited," Lewis said. "I was screaming, and I had just chugged a whole Gatorade. It came up. That is all. It wasn't nerves. None of that, out of shape. Nothing everybody's been coming to me with; it's none of that at all." Teammate Sammie Coates laughed when asked about Lewis' on-field vomiting, calling it "the most disgusting thing I've ever seen." "It was pretty funny, though," Coates said. "I looked down the sidelines and I just see a whole lot of orange come out of his mouth. It was bad. ... We've made fun of him for a couple days now." The good news, according to Coates? He didn't have to worry about stepping in it. "It wasn't like it was food or anything, so it was gone," Coates said. "It was just Gatorade."

| Customers react to possible T-Mobile and Sprint merger - WITN Posted: 11 Feb 2020 08:48 PM PST GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - A federal judge gave the green light Tuesday morning to allow Sprint and T-Mobile to merge companies.  The announcement raised concerns with customers about the cellphone bills. Sprint customer Sarah Hopkins seemed cautiously optimistic. "I feel good about it," Hopkins said, "I enjoy my little phone." Hopkins is on a family plan with her daughter and is getting used to her flip phone. She says bills tend to go up anyways, she just hopes it doesn't cost more than she can afford. "Long as it don't go up too much, it's alright. Because sometimes you don't have nothing but just like a little fixed income and everything, but long as it don't go up too much because everything is going up now," Hopkins said. Hopkins says she was a Sprint customer when they were a telephone company back in the 80's. Maureen House has been a Sprint customer since the iPhone was invented. So, around 13 years. House said, "If it doesn't change the price I pay and I still get good service, it doesn't matter to me." She keeps her expectations high for the two companies. "I'm on a family plan. I hope they let me keep that plan. I've been very happy with Sprint. So, I hope T-Mobile, when they merge, will do as well," House said. ECU Marketing Professor and Associate Dean of Research and Faculty Development, Dr. Judy Siguaw says the merger will come with a number of benefits, such as being a more challenging competitor to Verizon and AT&T; as well as more services, such as the option of 5G. Siguaw said, "From a standpoint of the companies, I understand why they did it, because if you already have this giant competitor our there, you've gotta grow enough to compete with them. And merging another company was the best and fastest way to do that. Siguaw says it's a strategic move. "It helps them immediately grow their network. So, you can try to grow slowly across time, but that's going to take time; but if you can go back and merge with another company that kind of fits with you, then immediately, 'Boom!' You're already ahead of the game." However, business experts also argue about the disadvantages. Statistics show around 30,000 employees could be laid off as locations shut down. Siguaw said, "If you've got a Sprint store there and a T-Mobile across the street, are you going to close one? Are people going to be laid off?" There's also the chance bills could increase due to customers having fewer choices. "It may be that they become even more competitive and prices go down, but it means it's pretty easy to raise them as well," said Siguaw. Siguaw suggests keeping the customers first. "They really have to pay attention to customer service. That's going to be key to keeping their customers so you don't lose them to the other big competitor," said Siguaw Sprint's stock reportedly rose 70 percent since the announcement and T-Mobile's spiked 12 percent. The Federal Communications Commission and the Justice Department have already signed off on the merger after T-Mobile agreed to create a new, smaller wireless carrier with Dish. The deal can't close until the California Public Utilities Commission approves it.

| What The Sprint-T-Mobile Merger Means for You - The New York Times Posted: 11 Feb 2020 08:18 PM PST  Everybody has one. Well, almost everybody. The Pew Research Center reported last year that 96 percent of Americans had a cellphone or smartphone. Which means the merger of T-Mobile and Sprint — a deal that moved significantly closer to completion on Tuesday — will have a ripple effect across the country. A United States District Court judge batted away the last significant challenge to the planned merger when he ruled against a lawsuit filed by state attorneys general who argued that the deal would hurt consumers. Now the millions of people who receive bills from Sprint or T-Mobile are wondering what happens next. What will happen to customers of T-Mobile and Sprint?T-Mobile and Sprint have said they will try to close the deal as early as April 1, creating a supersize carrier (called, wait for it, T-Mobile) with more than 100 million customers. The two companies still have one last hurdle to clear: the California Public Utilities Commission, which is still reviewing the merger. When (or if) the deal closes, T-Mobile customers will remain with the service. It is unclear what, if anything, will change for them. For Sprint customers, it's a little more complicated. The majority will transfer to T-Mobile plans as the brand is absorbed. But users of Sprint's prepaid brands, including Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile and Sprint prepaid, will become customers of Dish Network, a satellite TV company based in Colorado. Wait. How did a TV company get involved in all this?As T-Mobile and Sprint executives were seeking the approval of federal regulators over the last two years, they agreed to a concession: selling off multiple assets, including Sprint's prepaid phone business, to Dish. Before it builds out its own telecommunications infrastructure, Dish will rent networking services from T-Mobile in the coming years. Eventually, the company would become the fourth-largest wireless carrier in the country. At least, that's the plan. Dish has shown serious interest in going into the phone business before: It made a bid for Sprint in 2013. Will prices go up?T-Mobile and Sprint have both said they do not plan to raise prices for customers in the short term. In a statement on Tuesday, T-Mobile said it would deliver existing plans "at the same or better prices for three years." After that, who knows. Critics of the deal have argued that it would result in less competition among telecommunications giants, which would lead to higher cellphone bills. Back in 2013, T-Mobile won millions of customers from AT&T and Verizon when it discontinued traditional two-year contracts, got rid of early termination fees and made international roaming free. Then its prices began to rise again. It now offers unlimited data plans starting at $60 a month for one line. Does this mean better wireless service?T-Mobile and Sprint have continually promised that a deal between them would result in wider, better services and an accelerated rollout of a new fifth-generation cellular network, known as 5G, which will let people download entire movies in seconds. In December, T-Mobile launched the first phase of its nationwide 5G network, covering 200 million people and more than a million square miles, and said a merger would help it build on this framework. It has said its 5G will be available at no extra cost. The companies said in a statement on Tuesday that their full 5G network would reach speeds up to five times faster than the current network in a few years, and 15 times faster by 2024. They also promised to deploy "a higher quality and more robust network for rural America," and to deliver the network to 99 percent of the United States within six years. AT&T and Verizon have said their 5G networks will be accessible nationwide this year. The majority of consumers have phones that work on 4G. They would need to upgrade to 5G-compatible handsets. Those looking to leave the new T-Mobile will be left with two main choices: AT&T or Verizon. When those carriers have one competitor fewer, they may raise prices, too. Brian X.

| Feds claim Huawei can snoop on mobile networks - The Verge Posted: 11 Feb 2020 08:18 PM PST  US officials say Huawei maintains backdoors into telecom networks across the world, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. The news comes after years of escalating sanctions against the company — including an executive order in May that prohibited US companies from licensing tech to Huawei — but the justifications for those sanctions have remained vague and clouded by secrecy. Now, officials are getting specific, claiming the Chinese hardware manufacturer has maintained backdoors into some of the networks it builds, starting as early as 4G equipment sold in 2009. There's also no hard evidence of the capability, but the claims are more specific than ever, and now coming from some of the nation's top national security officials. "We have evidence that Huawei has the capability secretly to access sensitive and personal information in systems it maintains and sells around the world," national security adviser Robert O'Brien told the Journal. There's no indication of whether this capability has actually been used, although officials did tell the Journal that telecoms buying Huawei equipment are unaware of the company's level of access. Reached by The Verge, Huawei security chief Andy Purdy denied the allegations. "We vigorously deny the allegation that we retain any such capability," Purdy said. "We also deny that we have ever improperly accessed customer information or customer data." The new US statements come after a surprise decision from the United Kingdom to allow Huawei to supply non-core equipment to the country's networks. The US had lobbied heavily against Huawei's inclusion in the run-up to 5G, but ultimately was unable to convince the country to entirely exclude the vendor. It's unclear how other countries will respond to the allegations, but Huawei says the new claims aren't surprising, given the last year of escalating pressure. "The US is committed to this, and I think it's really prompted by the geopolitical situation between China and the US," Purdy told The Verge. "The US is unwilling to consider the facts and the evidence, and they're going to do whatever they can to block our ability to provide products to communication networks around the world."

| AT&T pulls out of Mobile World Congress over coronavirus concerns - CNET Posted: 11 Feb 2020 07:18 PM PST  AT&T is the latest to withdraw from Mobile World Congress. Angela Lang/CNETAT&T is joining the likes of Amazon, Facebook, LG, Ericsson and Sony in withdrawing from the upcoming Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona over coronavirus concerns. In a statement shared with CNET on Tuesday, the wireless carrier said it'll no longer participate as planned. "After careful discussions and planning, we have decided that we will not participate in GSMA Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2020," said a company representative. "We value our participation in important industry groups like GSMA and deeply respect the steps they have already taken to protect attendees. Unfortunately, the most responsible decision is to withdraw our participation from the event to safeguard our employees and customers." The move is yet another blow for the GSMA, the international trade group behind Mobile World Congress. AT&T Business CEO Anne Chow was previously scheduled to deliver a keynote address at the event. As an ever-increasing number of companies pull out, questions continue to mount about whether the show will even go on. On Sunday, the group said it still planned to have the show go on as scheduled, however, Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia reported Tuesday that the GSMA would meet Friday to make a final decision. Traditionally a place where companies announce new phones and devices, Mobile World Congress 2020 is scheduled to run from Feb. 24 to 27.

| US finds Huawei has backdoor access to mobile networks globally, report says - CNET Posted: 11 Feb 2020 07:18 PM PST  Huawei can reportedly access backdoors in mobile networks globally. Corinne Reichert/CNETChinese tech giant Huawei can reportedly access the networks it helped build that are being used by mobile phones around the world. It's been using backdoors intended for law enforcement for over a decade, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing US officials. The details were disclosed to the UK and Germany at the end of 2019 after the US had noticed access since 2009 across 4G equipment, according to the report. The backdoors were inserted for law enforcement use into carrier equipment like base stations, antennas and switching gear, the Journal said, with US officials reportedly alleging they were designed to be accessible by Huawei. "We have evidence that Huawei has the capability secretly to access sensitive and personal information in systems it maintains and sells around the world," Robert O'Brien, national security adviser, reportedly said. O'Brien also called less-expensive Chinese solutions "tempting of a gift to turn down" for some countries, according to CNN, but that they come "with a price" of the Chinese company having access to information on the network. The White House and Huawei didn't immediately respond to a request for comment, but the tech giant rejected the claims according to the Journal. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson approved Huawei for 5G last month with some conditions: The British restrictions are to exclude Huawei from building core parts of the UK's 5G networks, have Huawei's market share capped at 35% and exclude Huawei from sensitive geographic locations. The European Union allowed higher-risk vendors for 5G with similar restrictions at the end of January. Huawei's 5G approval there came despite the US urging the UK to ban the Chinese telecommunications giant. Huawei was blacklisted in May when it was added to the United States' "entity list" (PDF). In addition, US President Donald Trump at the same time signed an executive order essentially banning the company in light of national security concerns that Huawei had close ties with the Chinese government. Huawei has repeatedly denied that charge. Originally published Feb. 11, 2:35 p.m. PT.

| Atari acquires Wonder, a hybrid mobile gaming and entertainment platform - VentureBeat Posted: 11 Feb 2020 06:48 PM PST Atari is acquiring the assets of Wonder, a gaming company that created a hybrid gaming platform for Android mobile devices. It's a bittersweet moment for Wonder, as its ambitious platform wasn't able to succeed on its own. But under Atari, its dream will continue. The purchase price was not disclosed. The New York-based Atari plans to use the WonderOS and other assets to bring cross-platform functionality to the Atari VCS game console and other devices. Andy Kleinman, a longtime entrepreneur and former Disney executive, founded Wonder in 2016. The company tried to innovate in mobile devices and created WonderOS. Wonder's investors include Shakira, Gerard Pique, former NBA player Baron Davis, and late NBA commissioner David Stern, as well as gaming leaders such as Sega's Hayao Nakayama and Atari's original founder, Nolan Bushnell. Other investors included Grishin Robotics and TCL Communications. Wonder had raised $14 million in funding. The WonderOS technology was designed to unify mobile, console, and PC gaming experiences, offering an ecosystem that gives access to multi-platform games, entertainment apps, and streaming services — locally or through the cloud.  Above: Atari will bring cross-platform functions to Atari VCS. Image Credit: Atari/Wonder Atari anticipates incorporating WonderOS into the development roadmap of the Atari Video Computer System (Atari VCS) and making it available across mobile devices, which will further expand the capabilities and reach of the home gaming and entertainment system. As Atari continues to grow its mobile game business and return to the home hardware market with the new Atari VCS, the WonderOS and mobile IP will make an important contribution in the coming years as the company drives to make mobile gaming and content streaming persistent and pervasive for consumers, Atari said. "It was a good opportunity," said Kleinman, in response to why he sold the company, in an email. "What we are doing was very hard to continue doing independently. I decided it was better to find a partner that could invest resources and bring a credible brand to bring our technology and strategy to market." Atari CEO Frédéric Chesnais said in a statement that Atari has a strong mobile gaming business and incorporating Wonder's technology will accelerate mobile integration within the Atari VCS platform, while better positioning Atari to capitalize on the promise offered by 5G digital cellular networks.

| Paula Kelly Dead: 'Sweet Charity' Actress and Dancer Was 77 - Hollywood Reporter Posted: 11 Feb 2020 06:28 PM PST  She also received Emmy nominations for her work on 'Night Court' and 'The Women of Brewster Place.'Paula Kelly, the actress, singer and dancer who starred in the film version of Sweet Charity and earned an Emmy nomination for her turn on Night Court, has died. She was 77. Kelly died Sunday of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Whittier, California, a publicist for her family and Los Angeles' Ebony Repertory Theatre announced. Kelly also appeared in such movies as The Andromeda Strain (1971), Cool Breeze (1972), Top of the Heap (1972), The Spook Who Sat by the Door (1973), Soylent Green (1973), Uptown Saturday Night (1974) — as Leggy Peggy — and Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling (1986). After playing the dancer Helene on the London stage, Kelly reprised the role alongside Shirley MacLaine and Chita Rivera for the 1969 film adaptation of Sweet Charity, directed by Bob Fosse in his feature debut (he also had guided it on Broadway). She sparkled in the numbers "Hey, Big Spender" and "There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This." "The only time I feel complete expression is when I'm dancing," Kelly said in a 1968 interview before she embarked on the movie. "Then, I have no problems, no worries, no hang-ups. I feel I could do anything in the world." Kelly earned an Emmy nomination in 1984 for portraying public defender Liz Williams on the first season of the NBC sitcom Night Court and received another in 1989 for playing Theresa, one-half of a lesbian couple, on the ABC miniseries The Women of Brewster Place. One of three daughters of a jazz musician, Paula Alma Kelly was born on Oct. 21, 1942, in Jacksonville, Florida. She was raised in the Sugar Hill neighborhood of Harlem, attended the High School of Music & Art and Juilliard and danced with companies headed by Martha Graham and Alvin Ailey. Kelly made her Broadway debut in the 1964 musical Something More! (1964), directed by Jule Styne and starring Barbara Cook. She later performed at the 1968 Oscars, appeared in Playboy in 1969 and danced and/or choreographed for TV specials hosted by the likes of Harry Belafonte, Gene Kelly and Sammy Davis Jr. Kelly portrayed the fierce madam Ginger Jones on the NBC soap Santa Barbara in 1984-85, and on a 1987 episode of NBC's The Golden Girls, she guest-starred as a housekeeper who may have cast a voodoo spell on the ladies after she was fired. Her TV résumé also included Sanford and Son, Medical Center, The Streets of San Francisco, Police Woman, Kojak, Hill Street Blues, Room for Two and St. Elsewhere. "I'm not interested in being a really big star," she told Ebony magazine in 1975. "I want to be in control of my life. I don't want to worry about the rent." Kelly also appeared on stages in Los Angeles in Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope at the Mark Taper Forum and Sophisticated Ladies (with Gregory Hines) at the Shubert Theatre. She came out of retirement in 2009 to join the cast of Ebony Repertory Theatre's production of Crowns by Regina Taylor, which played at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center and later at the Pasadena Playhouse. "When the staggeringly brilliant Paula Kelly became our first hire for our production of the Los Angeles premiere of Crowns, we immediately knew that we were in store for something extremely special," Ebony Repertory Theatre producing artistic director Wren T. Brown said in a statement. "During rehearsals and in production, she brought her immense triple threat talent, her keen intellect, her great ability to listen and her abundant generosity to bear on the company every single day. Her unassuming leadership was marked by compassion, elegance and grace. She was a rare and gifted artist whom we will cherish forever." Kelly was married to British director Donald Chaffey (One Million Years B.C.) from 1985 until his death in 1990. Survivors include an aunt, Pearl; her longtime companion, George; a niece, Dina; and a nephew, Lehman. A celebration of her life will be held at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center, with details to be announced. Feb. 11 A previous version of this story incorrectly stated Kelly's age and where she died. According to new information supplied by a publicist, she was 77 and passed in Whittier, California.

Many of the nation's 60 million Hispanics have immigrant connections. About 20 million are immigrants themselves (though 79% are U.S. citizens), and another 19 million have at least one parent who is an immigrant. As of 2017, Hispanics accounted for 73% of an estimated 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S., and a growing number of them came from Central America over the previous decade. How we did thisOverall, 83% of Hispanics say it is a very or somewhat important U.S. immigration policy goal to establish a way for most immigrants in the country illegally to stay in the U.S., according to the survey. By comparison, 67% of the U.S. public said this was an important goal in a separate survey conducted in September 2019. Majorities of Latinos also rate other immigration policies as important. When asked about refugees, 79% of Latinos say it's very or somewhat important to take in civilian refugees escaping violence and war, and a comparable share (76%) say improving the security of the country's borders is very or somewhat important. Two-thirds of Latinos (66%) say increasing security along the U.S.-Mexico border to reduce illegal crossings is a very or somewhat important goal. Apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border increased markedly in 2019. Fewer than half of Latinos (41%) say increasing deportations of immigrants in the country illegally is an important policy goal. Just 35% of Hispanic immigrants say this, compared with about half of U.S.-born Hispanics (48%). Immigrants and the U.S. born rate the other immigration policy goals in the survey similarly. Views of immigration policy goals by political party
For Hispanic Democrats, the highest-rated immigration policy goals are establishing a path for unauthorized immigrants to stay in the U.S. legally (89%), taking in refugees (85%) and improving the security of the country's borders (72%). Hispanic Republicans place a higher priority than Hispanic Democrats on border security issues. Their most important immigration policy goals are improving border security (86%), increasing security along the U.S.-Mexico border to reduce illegal crossings (81%) and establishing a path for most unauthorized immigrants to stay in the U.S. legally (71%). Views diverge most on the question of increased deportations. Only about a third of Hispanic Democrats (32%) say increasing deportations of immigrants currently in the country illegally is a very or somewhat important goal. Nearly twice as many Hispanic Republicans (63%) say this. The 31 percentage point gap on deportations is the widest partisan difference of any immigration policy issue among Hispanics, though it is less pronounced than it is among the broader U.S. public. Among Hispanics, partisan differences extend only so far. Majorities of Hispanic Democrats and Republicans say establishing a path to legal residence, taking in refugees, improving border security and increasing U.S.-Mexico border security are very or somewhat important U.S. immigration policy goals. But there are differences in the level of importance that Hispanic Democrats and Republicans ascribe to various policy goals. For example, nearly two-thirds of Hispanic Democrats (63%) say establishing a path to legal residence is very important, compared with just 36% of Hispanic Republicans. Roughly comparable shares of Hispanic Democrats (26%) and Republicans (35%) say this goal is somewhat important.

| Michael Lohan, Father of Actress Lindsay Lohan, Arrested in Domestic Incident: Police - NBC New York Posted: 11 Feb 2020 04:46 PM PST  What to Know
Michael Lohan, father of actress Lindsay Lohan, was arrested on Long Island Monday following a domestic incident, according to Southampton Village Police. Shortly before 4 p.m. Monday, a domestic complaint was filed against Michael, 59, alleging an incident that took place at a resident on Hampton Road in which he is accused of becoming verbally and physically abusive against another person, police say. He was subsequently arrested about 40 minutes after the complaint was filed and charged with criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation and harassment. According to police, Michael complained of chest pains and was transported to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. He is scheduled to be released from the hospital on Tuesday and will be arraigned. Attorney information for Michael was not immediately available. However, Michael is not the only Lohan to face charges in recent weeks. His ex-wife and mother of Lindsay, Dina Lohan, was arrested for allegedly drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident on Long Island last month, prosecutors say. Dina was driving a Mercedes at Merrick Mall in Merrick around 7 p.m. on Saturday when she hit the back of a Honda CRV, according to a felony complaint. Dina drove away from the scene without providing any information, so the other driver called 911 and followed her, the complaint says. The Honda driver and police tracked Dina to her home in Merrick and found her sitting in the driver's seat with the engine running, according to the complaint. A police officer who spoke with Dina said her breath smelled like alcohol and her eyes were "glassy and bloodshot." Dina was unsteady when she got out of the car and ended up falling to the ground face-first, the complaint says. Lohan faces charges including DWI with a previous conviction designated offense within 10 years and third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle, according to the complaint. She pleaded not guilty at her arraignment a day after her arrest, defense attorney Mark Jay Heller said. Previously, Heller told News 4 "there was no formal test to establish my client was intoxicated" and pledged to fight the charges. Subsequently, prosecutors have offered Dina a plea deal that would put her in jail for six months following her arrest for alleged drunk driving and leaving the scene of a Long Island accident last week. She would also have been subject to five years probation under the deal. The case adjourned without acceptance of that deal following a brief court hearing. However, she is due back in court later this month in connection to the case.
