Authorities were combing New Jersey woods for a man wanted on charges related to the January 6 riot at the Capitol. The search for 46-year-old Gregory Yetman began around 9am on Main Street in Helmetta, as police were trying to serve a warrant. The FBI described him as a white man in his 40s wearing a red jacket and a ball cap. Yetman fled into a wooded area, according to officials, who said he may be armed. Spotswood Public Schools sheltered in place and local streets were closed. Tactical teams could be seen in the backyard of homes. Aerial footage...

Nearly three days into its investigation of an incident that left two women injured by gunfire at Guaranteed Rate Field, the Chicago Police Department has largely concluded that the gunfire originated inside the ballpark. That’s according to CPD Interim Supt. Fred Waller, who spoke to the press after a police graduation ceremony on Monday. “We’re dispelling a lot of things,” Waller said, adding that the possibility of a bullet “coming from outside is something we’ve almost completely dispelled.” “We’re still looking at every avenue,” he continued. “It’s still under investigation. Something from inside—it could’ve happened that way.”

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) is a federal act passed in 2002 with bipartisan congressional support to improve auditing and public disclosure in response to several accounting scandals in the early-2000s. The act was named after the bill sponsors, Senator Paul Sarbanes and Representative Michael Oxley, and is also commonly referred to as SOX. Find the statutory text here: Pub.L. 107–204. Background In the early-2000s, accounting scandals at major firms shook financial markets, calling on Congress to increase investor protection.... Provisions: In enacting SOX, one of Congress’s primary aims was to prevent a firm’s management from interfering with an independent financial...

CHICAGO (AP) — After a season of mostly empty ballparks in Chicago, the famed marquee at Wrigley Field said it all. “Welcome home, Cubs fans,” it read. Thousands of masked fans of the Cubs and White Sox will get to see their teams play in person beginning on opening day, Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Monday. Each team will be limited to 20% capacity, but it was enough to send some fans off to Wrigley to celebrate.

There’s no better place to celebrate a birthday than at the ballpark. Even more so when it’s your first visit. That’s what CP Crawford, of Lansing, Ill., did on his birthday Thursday. It was his 112th birthday, and Crawford, a lifelong White Sox fan, had never been to a game. Andrew Holmes, who is the executive director of Club 100, a nonprofit that focuses on people who are 100 years old or older, learned of Crawford’s fandom and the fact he’d never seen his team play, and decided to help make that happen. Crawford took a limo from his nursing...

Bobby Doerr, legendary Boston Red Sox second baseman and member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, died on Monday at age 99. Doerr was the oldest living major leaguer and the only Hall of Famer to live to 99. Doerr played in the majors for 14 seasons, from 1937-51, and spent all of it with the Red Sox. Doerr was the last living major leaguer to have not just debuted in the 1930s, but to have played in the 1930s at all. He was on teams with baseball greats like Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, Jimmie Foxx and Dom DiMaggio, but...

Can you be slapped with obstruction of justice for wiping clean your browser history? Yep, says the Feds. If you are in the habit of clearing your online tracks – as many do – a federal law on the books since 2002, meant to apply legal pressure on corporations under investigation, can be rolled out and used as leverage to charge individuals. Think Enron as the target, but Joe Internet user in the scope. Writes AOL.com: “Many Internet users delete their browser history and clear their cache and cookies without thinking twice about it… But the recent Boston Marathon bombing...

Tim Wakefield is retiring after pitching the last 17 seasons for the Boston Red Sox. The 45-year-old knuckleballer planned to make the announcement at the team’s spring training facility at a news conference Friday evening.

Barack and Michelle are at the White Sox game... One of the Secret Service guys leans over and says something to the president. Obama stares at the guy, looks at Michelle, looks back at the agent, and shakes his head "NO!" The agent goes: "But Mr. President, it was a unanimous request, from the owner of the team down to the bat boy- and the fans would absolutely love it." So Barack shrugs his shoulders and says, "Well, if that's what the people want..." He gets up, grabs Michelle by her collar and the seat of her pants, and drops her right...

October 30, 2007 Hillary & Huma – A Dark Unseen Scandal Star? Mickey Kaus writes: Do you sense there is some large mass of dark matter, an unseen Scandal Star, the gravitational pull of which is warping the coverage of what seems, on the surface, a pretty dull presidential race? I do. So does Ron Rosenbaum. I thought the Dark Star was the Edwards affair allegation. But Rosenbaum says "everyone in the elite Mainstream media" knows about another juicy scandal that the LAT is supposedly sitting on. I guess this is proof that I’m not in the elite, because I...

Economic Reform: Newt Gingrich may have, to the glee of the left, been written off by everybody who's anybody on the right. But he's put forth one of the most laudable economic plans in memory. The Wall Street Journal's editorial page says the former House speaker has a big mouth and timid policy instincts, and that his best move right now would be to shut down his presidential campaign and donate the cash he's raised to House Republicans. Indeed, no one can understand why Gingrich stuck his foot in his mouth and Paul Ryan's hindquarters at the same time, unfairly...

Silicon Valley is teeming with budding startups whose user bases and valuations are skyrocketing. As these companies seek breathing room to grow, they will face a tough decision: stay private, seek out a buyer or go public. Making this complex choice all the more challenging is government uncertainty. Filing for an initial public offering is harder than ever due to the onerous regulations and burdensome laws Washington has handed down over the past decade. Microsoft's $8.5 billion purchase of Skype surprised analysts, many of whom had predicted Skype would seek an IPO or a deal with Facebook or Google. Meanwhile,...

New Cubs-Sox Trophy Carries Dubious Distinction'Crosstown Cup' Sponsored By Oil Company Mired In Gulf Oil Spill Scandal Reporting Vince Gerasole Jun 1, 2010 6:05 pm US/Central CHICAGO (CBS) - The massive BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico could be causing some backlash at Wrigley Field and U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago. CBS 2's Vince Gerasole takes a look at the newly sponsored "BP Crosstown Classic." Whether snapping a North Side picture at the home of the Cubs, or buying Sox tickets on the South Side, just thinking about the Crosstown Classic is a fan-pleasing faceoff. Bob Sorrells, a...

"O" claims to be a White Sox fan yet can't name one player and goofs the name of the ball park!And they call Sarah Palin an idiot? Obama swings and misses at Sox lore John Kass Chicago Tribune April 7, 2010 What's happening to President Barack Obama, America's No. 1 White Sox fan, is just absolutely terrible. OK, sure, the poor guy committed a grievous baseball sin. But now he's taking a beating, the kind Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano would give his own catcher, or maybe his manager. It almost reminds me of the time CBS' Katie Couric sweetly asked...

You can add Sean Penn to the long list of people who have been called out by Ozzie Guillen. The outspoken White Sox manager called Penn a "payaso" (clown) and "izquierdista estupido" (stupid leftist) on Twitter Friday for his praise of controversial Venezuela President Hugo Chavez. "Oh my God, Sean Penn defended our President Hugo Chavez," Guillen, a Venezuela native, tweeted. "That's easy when you [don't] live in Venezuela and have money. LOL...shame on [you]." Penn appeared on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" last week and was asked why he continues to defend Chavez. "Every day this elected leader...

In the wake of the Enron, the federal government passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (commonly known as the SOX Act). The act was actually called the Corporate and Auditing Accountability and Responsibility Act in the House of Representatives. As is well known by now, the purpose of the act was to clean up and further regulate the reporting standards for corporations. Title III of the SOX Act states that senior executives, primarily the CEOs and CFOs of corporations, take individual responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of their respective corporations’ financial reports. That is where the accountability and responsibility...
