Savannah Chrisley and her new beau, Jason Galanis, are already married, despite only announcing their engagement publicly earlier this week.
According to marriage records obtained by People, the 29-year-old reality star and the 56-year-old businessman tied the knot on Tuesday, July 14, at Cayman Islands Baptist Church. The marriage followed a year of dating and came just two days before Galanis' 56th birthday.
Earlier this week, Savannah announced she was pregnant and engaged, though she did not reveal she and Galanis were already married. On her Unlocked podcast, she shared how Galanis proposed with a massive oval-cut diamond ring while they vacationed in the Cayman Islands.
The Chrisley Knows Best alum did not reveal Galanis' name in her pregnancy announcement, referring to him as "J" in social media posts and as "Jason" on her podcast. However, Us Weekly later confirmed the mystery man as convicted fraudster Jason Galanis.
In 2020, Galanis was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison for his part in "two multimillion-dollar fraud schemes," according to the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. In one of the schemes, Galanis was accused of defrauding investors, including the Oglala Sioux Native American tribe, out of tens of millions of dollars.

BEIJING, Sept 4 (Reuters) - President Xi Jinping is preparing a large business delegation to accompany him on his visit to Washington, two sources said, an unusual move given U.S. scepticism towards Chinese investment and Beijing's strained ties with private enterprise.
Xi rarely travels abroad with corporate executives, many of whom fell out of favour after Beijing's regulatory crackdowns on the technology, education and property sectors that began in 2020.
"The White House is not tracking a Chinese CEO delegation," an official said. The White House did not explain what they meant by tracking.
The business delegation for the September 24 summit has not been previously reported. Reuters could not determine which executives would join the delegation.

Aug. 28—WILLMAR — The Community Christian School volleyball team has been on quite the run the last two seasons.
Last year, the Eagles finished second in the Minnesota Christian Athletic Conference Tier I tournament, falling to host First Baptist School of Rosemount after earning victories over Rochester Home Schools in the first round and St. Cloud Christian School in the second.
In 2024, CCS went 21-0, winning the MCAC's end-of-the-season tournament.
And, the Eagles already have begun the 2026 season with a victory, beating the Fourth Baptist Warriors of Plymouth 3-0.
The team will have a different look in 2026.

Three former British athletes were convicted in Morocco as part of an investigation into the **** ual **** ault of a minor by a sprinting coach, BBC Sport can reveal.
The prosecutions led to the imprisonment of Leon Baptiste, a UK Athletics coach and 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medallist for England in the 200m.
Baptiste was originally reported as missing in Morocco in some media articles published on 14 August, before a BBC Sport investigation revealed his conviction and jailing.
Now, court rulings seen by BBC Sport shed more light on other convictions relating to the same case.
Two-time Commonwealth silver medallist hurdler Will Sharman, his brother and ex-bobsleigh athlete Richard Sharman, and fellow former bobsleigh competitor Lamin Deen, who were all on holiday with Baptiste, were convicted of participating in the enticement of a minor.

Bossier High defensive coordinator Marcus Hudson received the ultimate honor for a Bossier Parish ****** istant coach Monday, Aug. 24 during the annual Bossier Lions Club Coaches Dinner at Airline Baptist Church. He was awarded the Kevin Black Bossier Parish ****** istant Coach Award joining an ever-growing list of quality ****** istants.
Hudson, doubtless, will be standing a little taller Friday at the Bossier Lions Club Jamboree.

Hudson was nominated by Bearkat football coach Gary Smith.

JERUSALEM, Aug 20 (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has warned militant Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank not to steal property owned by Palestinian Americans, describing such behavior as "a violation of God's law".
Huckabee, a Baptist minister and longtime supporter of Israel's settlements, told Reuters in an interview that settlers found to have taken part in a siege of homes in the West Bank village of Qusra, including one belonging to Palestinian American Loui Ridi, could be punished with U.S. sanctions.
Israeli settlers began encircling homes in Qusra on August 9, in what rights groups said was an attempt to seize privately owned Palestinian land. The case has drawn international condemnation.
Israel's military has deployed dozens of troops to the area and has since pushed the settlers back from the homes. But they remain nearby and residents including Ridi say they fear the settlers will encroach on their properties again once those troops pull back.

SHANGHAI/BEIJING, Aug 14 (Reuters) - China's Unitree, the country's most high-profile humanoid robot maker, is widely expected to have an explosive stock market debut in Shanghai next week. The only question is — how frenzied is it going to be?
Outside China, on private share platforms such as EquityZen, UpMarket and Hiive, Unitree shares are tipped to almost triple, while on crypto exchanges Hyperliquid and Gate, derivative trades point to a jump of almost four times.
Some others expect much more.
Such is the excitement around Unitree, whose humanoid robots have drawn global attention for their running, dancing and performing of martial arts, that its IPO was more than 8,000 times oversubscribed by retail investors, a record for Shanghai's STAR Market for tech startups.

BEIJING, Aug 13 (Reuters) - China's top foundry, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp, said on Friday that AI-related demand would continue to underpin orders for its production, and that it had raised prices for its most sought-after capacity.
Co-CEO Zhao Haijun said on an earnings call that SMIC raised prices following negotiations with customers in the first quarter, and that it would charge more for wafers processed in the third quarter.
"We believe we've reached top-tier industry standards in these areas," Zhao said. "Since there's still a big gap between industry-leading wafer prices and SMIC's current prices, we need to negotiate with customers for fairer pricing."
Silicon wafers serve as the base material onto which chip patterns are printed by SMIC through the fabrication process.

The Miami Dolphins completed their first two weeks of training camp with a session inside Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday instead of the practice fields of their Baptist Health Training Complex.
Miami has the day off on Sunday before returning to the practice fields to prepare for a joint session with the Washington Commanders ahead of their preseason meeting.
With nine practices down, we've released our second 53-man roster projection, which involved cutting 38 players. Now, we're going to go over the five most difficult cuts from Sunday's projection.
Washington caught just three passes for 37 yards in six games last year after missing his entire rookie campaign with an injury. Through two weeks, the 25-year-old hasn't flashed as much as some other wideouts in the room, so he may have to hope for a practice squad spot.
In our first roster projection before training camp, Wease beat out Washington for the last spot in the room after catching six passes for 139 yards and a touchdown as a rookie in 2025. However, 2025 undrafted free agent A.J. Henning has made more plays in this camp. Wease still has time to earn a spot, but he has to make a strong impression.

Although North DeSoto graduated a quarterback to Northwestern (Luke Delafield) and a running back to Louisiana Tech (Kenny Thomas), not many are crying for the 2026 Griffins, who remain loaded with plenty of talent on both sides of the ball.
That's why coach Dennis Dunn's squad has been chosen to win the 2026 District 1-4A ******* le in a close race with Northwood, which has seven senior offensive linemen. Five of those linemen have more than 100 starts between them. Replacing Delafield will be freshman Mason Smith, who already holds offers from LSU and Tulane, and he'll have a big target in tight end Miller Warren, a Northwestern State commitment.
DISTRICT 1-3A: Sterlington, Loyola expected to lead way in 2026 District 1-3A race
DISTRICT 1-2A: Calvary Baptist expected to rule District 1-2A in 2026
DISTRICT 4-2A: Mansfield could lead District 4-2A in close race with Many, Red River

The Miami Dolphins had the day the off from the practice field on Wednesday, but they returned to their Baptist Health Training Complex on Thursday to start another three-day stretch of work on the field.
After some lightning interrupted the start of the session, the Dolphins had to move inside and sent fans away for safety purporses but went back out fairly quickly.
Here are the news and notes from Day 7 of Dolphins training camp from those who were on the scene for the practice.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel's David Furones noted that tight end Greg Dulcich returned to practice in a red non-contact jersey after missing recent sessions.
The Miami Herald's Omar Kelly reported that wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr., tight end Ben Sims, offensive lineman Austin Jackson, safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. and safety Dante Trader Jr. were rehabbing.

On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins opened practice to fans for the first time in 2026, and there were several differences from the last regime. Not as much crowd entertainment, and plenty more business as there was reportedly limited music, no players on microphones and certainly no backflips or hijinks going on. New coach Jeff Hafley seems like he will be changing the tide and culture in South Florida, as the Baptist Health Training Complex stands were filled with hopeful fans.
There were some standout players from Sunday's practice including edge rushers, veteran free agent Josh Uche, and 2022 seventh-round Dolphins' draft pick Cameron Goode as well as rookie cornerback Chris Johnson who recorded an interception. Offensively some wide receivers, free agent Tutu Atwell, rookie Kevin Coleman Jr. and 2025 undrafted free agent A.J. Henning, all performed well. Additionally, 2026 third-round pick Caleb Douglas, continued to impress in his push for possibly the number one wide-out role.
Hafley spoke to South Florida media regarding Douglas saying, "I've been impressed. I think he's still got work to do and within the scheme, but we've moved him around. He's made some contested catches, which I think is very impressive with guys right there.
He continued the praise saying, "I think that's probably the No. 1 thing that I wanted to see from him; when there was people around him and when the catches were hard, could he make them? Because he does have good size and he has a good catch radius. It's a compliment to him in the first three that he's been able to make some of those plays. He's got a ways to go for what we expect of him, but I'm pleased with the way how he's approached stuff right now."
As for another rookie, linebacker Kyle Louis was doing well on special teams' work, per Dolphins writer and podcaster Travis Wingfield. He also noted that Louis was able to get into the backfield while playing defensive snaps and recorded a sack and tackle for loss.

After working on the practice fields at their Baptist Health Training Complex on Wednesday and Thursday, the Miami Dolphins were back out their Friday morning for their final training camp session of the week.
Miami will be off on Saturday before returning to action on Sunday, with fans in attendance. However, before we get there, let's talk about everything that happened at Day 3 of Dolphins training camp, according to the beat writers on the scene.
The Dolphins had perfect attendance on Friday again, as their only absences were wide receiver Chris Bell (NFI) and cornerbacks Darrell Baker Jr. (PUP) and Storm Duck (PUP), per the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's David Furones.
After the offense struggled on Day 2, they bounced back a bit on Friday. Multiple reporters noted that rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas made multiple impressive plays, including a one-handed grab for a touchdown. That may be very important, especially with Tutu Atwell's hands popping up as an issue on Thursday.
Speaking of problems catching the ball, rookie tight end Will Kacmarek had a ball bounce of his hands into the arms of a waiting defender, according to the Palm Beach Post's Joe Schad. This has been an issue for a few players early on.

BEIJING, July 31 (Reuters) - Chinese military researchers have used outputs from leading U.S. artificial intelligence models developed by OpenAI and Anthropic to train domestic AI systems to advance China's defence capabilities, according to a Reuters review of more than 80 Chinese academic papers and patents.
The previously unreported findings offer a rare glimpse into how military and security-linked institutions in China are leveraging cutting-edge U.S. AI models as a shortcut to developing specialised systems of their own, despite Washington's efforts to restrict Beijing's access to advanced chips and other strategic technologies.
The documents show widespread use of a technique known as "model distillation," in which outputs from a powerful AI system are used to train smaller, specialised models that can be deployed locally without the enormous computing requirements needed to build frontier AI systems from scratch.
Reuters' review, which included research compiled by the Washington-based Jamestown Foundation and shared exclusively with the news agency, showed distillation is widely used by researchers linked to the People's Liberation Army and other military institutions.

After they had over a month off, the Miami Dolphins were back on the practice field on Wednesday for their first training camp session at their Baptist Health Training Complex under new head coach Jeff Hafley.
With this being Day 1, the Dolphins weren't in pads, which limited the physicality of the session, but there were still some players who brought the energy.
Among them, was linebacker Willie Gay Jr., who was reportedly one of the best players on the field. He was also mic'd up by Miami's social team, and they released a cut-up of his best moments during practice.
It's not a training camp session without a Gay scream at the beginning of the work. It was also great to see his one-handed interception of quarterback Cam Miller.
Gay is fighting for a spot in the linebacker room, and if he continues to stack days like that one, he'll make the roster and could push for more playing time than he had in 2025.

BEIJING, July 27 (Reuters) - China's commerce ministry on Monday accused the United States of "AI hegemonism" and threatened countermeasures after senior U.S. officials said Chinese AI companies could face investigations, sanctions and trade restrictions over the alleged theft of U.S. technology.
The ministry said Washington was threatening Chinese companies with punishment based on allegations they used "distillation" to copy advanced U.S. AI models, despite what it called a lack of factual or legal grounds.
Model distillation is a widely used AI training technique in which developers use the outputs of a more capable model to train or improve another system. U.S. officials say they distinguish between legitimate distillation and large-scale extraction that amounts to intellectual property theft.
'ALL NECESSARY MEASURES'

The Miami Dolphins sort of shocked some of their fans and ***** ysts when they went out and drafted three linebackers in this year's NFL Draft. Just this past week, they also extended one of their defensive captains in Jordyn Brooks after a phenomenal season. So, the Dolphins appear set at linebacker and that's even with Tyrel Dodson on the roster.
Which is why it wouldn't be shocking to see Dodson traded at some point as his name has come up in trade talks. If Jacob Rodriguez can perform in training camp and inspire some confidence, then the Dolphins should probably explore Dodson's trade value. While he won't command much, he is a cheap veteran option for a team in need.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day's round-up below.
The Miami Dolphins ended the trade speculation around one linebacker — but it may be time to wonder about another
The offseason was filled with trade speculation for Miami Dolphins star linebacker Jordyn Brooks. Is it time to speculate about another veteran linebacker being a trade piece?

The Miami Dolphins summoned their rookies back to their facilities on Tuesday to prepare for training camp at their Baptist Health Training Complex, and their veterans will follow next Tuesday, July 28.
While many position groups have plenty of players returning from 2025, Miami's specialists are almost all completely new, as they let a kicker, punter and long snapper leave in free agency.
Before training camp starts, let's take a look at the four Dolphins that currently make up the specialist room.
Patterson played at Memphis from 2017-20 before going undrafted in 2021. Since then, he's had stops with eight different teams, making 87.4% of his field goals (90-of-103) and 96.6% of his extra points (143-of-148).
As the lone holdover in the room, Patterson may have a small leg up in the competition. In 17 games filling in for Jason Sanders in 2025, he made 93.1% of his field goals (27-of-29) and 97.1% of his extra points (34-of-35).

Mark Pope needs to make a statement with the 2027 recruiting class.
After getting two homegrown, top-25 prospects in the 2025 class, and going o-fer on top-100 prospects in the 2026 class, Pope has already secured a commit from five-star Ryan Hampton and has cast a wide net to build the rest of the class.
One specific player the Wildcats are making a push for is point guard Reese Alston, the 3rd-ranked point guard and 8th-ranked overall prospect. He is also the son of former NBA player Rafer Alston, also known as streetball legend “Skip to My Lou.”
Alston has been on Kentucky’s radar since last summer, with the Wildcats extending an offer to him last October. As the summer grassroots circuits come to a close, they are making a strong push for him.
Playing in Puma’s Pro16 circuit, smaller than Nike’s EYBL or Adidas’ 3SSB, Alston takes notice of the coaches who are there to watch him play. Mark Pope was in attendance to watch him last week, and ******* istant Mikhail McLean, who attended the same high school as Alston (Houston Second Baptist HS), has attended multiple Puma Pro16 events this spring/summer.
