Beijing is now desperately attempting to bring rare earth manufacturing back inside its own borders, exclusively.
New Chinese export restrictions specifically target American plans to begin the country's first commercial production of rare earth magnet materials by 2027.
To counter that move, REalloys (NASDAQ: ALOY) is rebuilding every major stage of North America's rare earth industry. Over the past two years, the company has **** embled heavy rare earth feedstock, separation, metallization, alloy production, and permanent magnet manufacturing into a single North American mine-to-magnet supply chain designed to operate independently of Chinese material.
And now, the company's first commercial facilities are expected to come online in the New Year, just as the Pentagon's ban on Chinese-origin rare earth magnets takes effect, forcing defense manufacturers to secure entirely new sources of supply.
Under the pressure of escalating Chinese export restrictions and the Pentagon's looming procurement ban, REalloys has become one of the focal points of America's rare earth rebuild.

Warriors reportedly denied $285M deal that would have secured 76ers superstar LeBron James originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Golden State Warriors were one of the most aggressive teams pursuing LeBron James during his free agency process. James is entering his 24th NBA season, yet he was pursued like a young star entering his prime.
Instead, the 41-year-old veteran is nearing the end of his legendary career. The Warriors wanted to pair Stephen Curry and James together for the final years of their careers, and at one point, Golden State was even considered one of the favorites to land him.
"I would be stunned if he picked a team that wasn't Golden State or Cleveland," a Western Conference executive told FOS' Alex Schiffer.
The Warriors were right in the middle of the race for the four-time NBA champion but ultimately fell short. James decided to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers, and a major factor in that decision was believed to be Philadelphia's acquisition of former Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers are doing everything they can to convince Jonathan ***** inga to join their respective organizations. As a restricted free agent, ***** inga's future is complicated by the Atlanta Hawks, who still have significant control over the process.
The Lakers have been pursuing ***** inga since the beginning of the offseason, and at one point it appeared they were well-positioned to get a deal done. However, ***** inga was not interested in Los Angeles' initial contract offer.
"The Lakers could've signed him to a 2 year, $20M deal. He was not interested in that. I've heard he's been looking for closer to $20M AAV... There's a gap," Lakers insider Jovan Buha said.
Since then, ***** inga's free agency has become one of the most intriguing storylines of the offseason. The former NBA champion is reportedly seeking a contract worth more than $20 million annually.

Big Ten Media Days are one of the most anticipated offseason events of the summer, setting the stage for what should be a thrilling 2026 season packed with massive storylines across the conference.
The Big Ten has crowned a different national champion in each of the past three seasons, meaning anyone in the conference has a chance to win it all in 2026.
Oregon enters the year as a popular pick to break through after four stellar seasons under head coach Dan Lanning. However, defending national champion Indiana returns off one of the most stunning turnarounds in recent memory and now has to prove it wasn't a one-year fluke.
Ohio State, meanwhile, opens the season as the nation's top-ranked team in several projection models despite a major defensive overhaul, and USC's revamped defense under new coordinator Gary Patterson could make the Trojans one of the conference's most intriguing wild cards.

The Boston Red Sox flew across the country to begin a road trip, and action got underway Monday night in Sacramento against the Athletics.
It was the opening of a four-game series for Boston against the A's, and a chance to take their red hot recent form away from Fenway Park to see how it looks in different digs.
The A's don't have a good record, but they've got an intriguing batting order which had the potential to make things tough on Boston's pitching staff.
On Monday night, though, the Red Sox put together a positive evening.

Rafaela chucked the bat onto the ground in disgust as he jogged toward first base.

Giannis Antetokounmpo reveals Goran Dragic's importance to his NBA career originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is happy to now be playing for the Miami Heat. It is a team that he has become familiar with during his time in the NBA, as he has had plenty of duels against the Erik Spoelstra-led team since making his NBA debut in 2013 for the Milwaukee Bucks.
For a long time, Giannis remained loyal to the Bucks, but their recent struggles were the tipping point for the Greek superstar. Now, he will be playing for the Heat with a new jersey number, the #7 that was previously worn by former Heat All-Star Goran Dragic.
As one of the most physically imposing players in the league, Antetokounmpo has worked hard to become one of the strongest players. Despite that, he does have some trouble with injuries from time to time. This has led to him making adjustments to his gear, including wearing his now-iconic shooting sleeve.
Apparently, that decision to wear a sleeve stems from a showdown with the Heat back in the day. The reason he is wearing a shooting sleeve now is because of Dragic, which is a bit poetic, considering Antetokounmpo is the player wearing his old #7 jersey number.

LeBron James' newest goal could help him make NBA history with the Philadelphia 76ers originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Across the 23 years he has played in the NBA, LeBron James has set and shattered plenty of historical records. He has earned accolades for being the youngest to do so and the oldest to do so. It is a tremendous testament to his impressive longevity and unmatched talent.
Now that he is entering his 24th season, James has taken on a new challenge, and that is playing for the Philadelphia 76ers. This is a huge test for James because his intention is to win a championship with Philly, a team that has not won the championship since 1983, a year before he was even born.
As one of the league's greatest-ever players, LeBron is a phenomenon. He always finds ways to make a winning impact for his team, which he has done for every team he has played for. He had two championships with the Miami Heat, one with his Cleveland Cavaliers, and one with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Only four players in NBA history have won championships with NBA teams, which are Robert Horry, John Salley, LeBron, and his former teammate, Danny Green. With this move to Philly, James is ready to make history yet again.

Argentina's massive shale oil and gas boom is going from strength to strength. The economically crisis-prone South American country yet again reported record monthly oil and natural gas production for May 2026. This couldn't come at a better time for Argentina and South America. Rising global geopolitical risks, notably due to war in the Middle East, and domestic economic hazards hold the potential to derail the significant economic gains Argentina has made over the last two years.
Ministry of Economy data shows May 2026 oil production hit an all-time high of 887,227 barrels per day. This represents a 0.6% increase month over month and is an impressive 19% greater than the same period a year earlier. Natural gas output also rose to 5.5 billion cubic feet per day, which was just shy of the record 5.7 billion cubic feet daily reported for July 2025. Indeed, May 2026 natural gas production was 5.4% greater than a month prior and a stunning 11% higher year over year.
It is the massive shale boom underway in the 8.6-million-acre Vaca Muerta formation that is responsible for this solid production growth. For May 2026, shale oil comprised 70.6% of Argentina's total oil production, while shale gas made up 69.8% of total output. Those ratios are at record highs for shale oil and gas as a proportion of Argentina's total hydrocarbon output. This is a game changer for Argentina, which recently overtook Colombia to cement its place as South America's fourth largest oil producer.
The Vaca Muerta shale formation, which is regularly compared to the Eagle Ford shale, is in the early stages of development. Drillers in the formation are still in that phase of deciding where the core producing areas are located. The Vaca Muerta is regarded as one of the most promising unconventional oil and gas plays globally, containing an estimated 16 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 308 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas resources. This all points to tremendous future unconventional hydrocarbon production growth for Argentina.
Many of the Vaca Muerta shale formation's characteristics are superior to U.S. shales, even the prolific Permian, which is the largest oil-producing basin in the United States. The formation's shale is significantly thicker than the Permian, with it estimated to be at least double the width, allowing for more horizontal landings per pad and more frac stages per well. The Vaca Muerta's organic content exceeds that found in most U.S. shale plays, while its reservoir pressure is significantly higher.

Chris Paul recalls the shock he felt from Victor Wembanyama's past as an academy player originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
During one year with the San Antonio Spurs, Chris Paul became a valuable mentor for his younger teammates. He was by far the oldest player on the roster, so he was naturally the leader the players turned to for advice.
The biggest beneficiaries of that were the youngsters from the 2024-25 Spurs team: Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle. In fact, Wembanyama always hung out with Paul, as they even went to France to train. Wemby himself told Paul about his past as an academy player, which left Paul gobsmacked.
As a player who grew up in the United States, Paul had an established path to the NBA. That is playing through high school, getting recruited to play college basketball, and then getting drafted to the NBA. That has been a long-standing path to the league, but the rise of international players has shown there are other ways to reach the NBA.
For a long time, European players have made their way to becoming top players by grinding it out in the EuroLeague and other leagues around the world. In recent years, many European players have gone through the academy system, which helps develop younger athletes to become the best versions of themselves.

Vita Vea's trade request should put the San Francisco 49ers on the phone with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
NFL Network reported that Vea asked to be moved after extension talks stalled. The two-time Pro Bowler is entering the final year of his contract with a $17 million base salary, giving San Francisco a rare chance to address one of its most uncertain position groups with a proven difference-maker.
The 49ers may also fit Vea's preferred destination. Football **** yst Ted Nguyen reported on X, citing a source, that Vea "wants to go to a California team or the Raiders." A return to the Bay Area would carry obvious appeal for Vea, who attended Milpitas High School before becoming the No. 12 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Vita Vea could give the 49ers needed durability and interior pressure while forming a dominant front with Nick Bosa and Osa Odighizuwa. Getty Images
The strongest argument for pursuing him is also the simplest: Vea nearly matched the entire 49ers interior defensive line's pressure production by himself last season.

WASHINGTON – Six weeks after he was hospitalized for a fall and pneumonia, Sen. Mitch McConnell's doctors still have not medically cleared him to return to work or leave a rehabilitation facility, the Capitol physician's office said.
Since June, the Kentucky Republican's health has been a source of widespread speculation and interest. He has missed 38 roll call votes in the Senate, including on key measures such as the annual defense policy bill and ending the Iran war, as well as high-profile confirmation hearings for crucial Trump nominees like Todd Blanche, who is awaiting a vote to become the next attorney general.
All summer his office has provided only limited updates on his condition. But in a statement July 27, McConnell, 84, said he was still having "intense physical therapy" and wouldn't be able to travel to western Kentucky for the annual Fancy Farm picnic, a marquee political event in the state.
"As always, I appreciate all of your continued well wishes, and I'm looking forward to getting back to the Senate and to Kentucky soon," he said.
The Office of the Attending Physician, which provides medical services and guidance to members of Congress, said the lifelong effects of McConnell's bout with childhood polio continue to be a "significant factor in his mobility." Doctors visit with him every day.

NEW YORK, July 23 (Reuters) - The Trump administration will withdraw subpoenas issued to New York Times' journalists who reported on security concerns about the president flying on a Qatari-donated Air Force One, a prosecutor said at ‌a court hearing on Thursday.
The subpoenas issued by Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton on July 10 were the latest ‌instance of the Trump administration seeking to compel journalists to divulge confidential sources in leak investigations, a practice press-freedom advocates say can chill reporting.
A prosecutor with Clayton's office informed U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian of the decision after the judge spent roughly 1-1/2 hours questioning government attorneys about procedural issues in the leak investigation, including their handling of subpoenas for reporters' phone records.
"The government is prepared unilaterally to withdraw the subpoenas," prosecutor Sean Buckley said, noting that the probe was ongoing and that the government could subpoena the reporters again.

Warren Beatty may have stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight, but a source exclusively tells Examiner that he's been closely following his and Annette Bening's daughter Ella's burgeoning acting career from home.
"Ella hasn't had a massive hit yet, but she's steadily winning roles in highly competitive situations and even more importantly, people are noticing that she actually delivers when she gets one of these parts," the source says.
According to the source, even though Beatty, 89, rarely mingles in Hollywood circles, he still keeps track of Ella's accomplishments.
"As reclusive as he's been for a while, word still gets back to Warren when Ella manages to impress a producer or a studio executive," the source continues. "The filmmakers who work with her really do see her as a natural like her mom, Annette."
The source adds that it's "been a weird time for the family" since the ***** Tracy star began to "pull back from the Hollywood scene over the last few years." However, Ella's "slow, steady rise has been a bright spot."

Cher is dealing with a huge amount of personal and legal stress, and a source exclusively tells the National Enquirer that the music icon's friends are worried she might be at her breaking point.
The "If I Could Turn Back Time" singer, 80, recently learned she will have to pay more than $1 million in her own attorney fees after a judge denied her request to have Sonny Bono's widow, Mary Bono, reimburse the legal costs she incurred during their lengthy royalties dispute, per People.
Even though Cher won the underlying lawsuit over unpaid royalties, the court ruled that each side is responsible for paying their own legal fees.
"Cher is furious that she's having to shell out all this money, she doesn't understand how she can be on the hook for a million bucks when she won the case. It feels incredibly unjust," the source says. "She has the money, and she can pay, but it's the principal of it that's really upsetting her."
However, according to the source, the legal setback is only one piece of a particularly stressful time in the Burlesque star's life, and her main worries are due to her son Elijah Blue Allman.

The 76ers, team sources said, had thought about the potential downside of Myers' pitch being viewed as groveling publicly. But the upside of Myers — and his four rings from Golden State — speaking directly to Paul outweighed the potential minuses.
