The Allegations: Rosen Law Firm is Investigating the Allegations that Western Asset Management Company, LLC Misled Investors Regarding its Business Operations.
According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants failed to warn investors that: (1) Defendants favored certain WAMCO strategies, like Macro Opps, over other WAMCO strategies, like Core and Core Plus; (2) Defendants disfavored certain WAMCO strategies, like Core and Core Plus; (3) any 'compliance policies and procedures' that WAMCO maintained 'to result in fair allocations of investment opportunities to clients' were either insufficient to ensure that Leech and his WAMCO Team fairly allocated trades among the strategies they managed or were expressly disregarded by defendants in order to allow the favoring of certain WAMCO strategies at the expense of other WAMCO strategies; (3) any 'oversight mechanisms' that WAMCO maintained were either insufficient to monitor Leech and his WAMCO Team or were expressly disregarded by Defendants in order to allow the favoring of certain WAMCO strategies at the expense of other WAMCO strategies. As a result, defendants' actions operated as a fraud or deceit on the Class, artificially reducing the price of the 'Western Asset US Core strategy' mutual fund classes during the Class Period, damaging Class members.

A Titanic Vietnamese Cafe Opens After Much Hype in Portland

is the associate editor for the Northern California and Pacific Northwest region writing about restaurant and bar trends, coffee and cafes, and pop-ups. The most successful cafe in Vietnam is about to open its first location in Oregon. Trung Nguyên Legend Cafe opens for business on Saturday, August 2. This opening was first teased earlier this year. The new outpost on 8435 SE Powell Boulevard will be open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day of the week. The business's big new space — the 1,800-square-foot former restaurant and billiard hall Pho Le II — sits in the western chunk of the Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood. Owner Brad Tran confirms he has secured a second lease for Beaverton. That space is set to open in November. He says opening a business in Portland is wildly difficult, with a laugh, and that this weekend is more of a test run to get staff at the SE Powell Boulevard location up to snuff. After that, there'll be a big party. He plans to extend hours to 9 p.m. when they start cooking a full menu. Trung Nguyên Legend Cafe The drinks are what's made Trung Nguyên Legend Cafe line-inducing. There are the Ottoman and Roman ice milk coffee sets, each a pretty display in singular serving vessels. The Thien Coffee is the most popular signature drink for the business, served in a small black pot. Though the cafe is beloved for its rendition of kopi luwak — a regional specialty coffee that traditionally uses beans digested by civet cats — Tran says everything the company sells is made in a factory now rather than with the animal. On the food side of things, it's all counter items available as grab and go for now. Think croissants and a few cakes. That full menu down the road will feature fusion Asian food, as Tran puts it. Such dishes include banh mi, pho, and rice platters. This type of cafe within the company's matrix is called the Legend 'Coffee World.' For Trung Nguyên Legend fans, that distinguishes this outpost as one of the nicer versions, like a Starbucks Reserve rather than one of the typical cafes. (Those more common cafes are called E-Coffee, which uses a lower grade of coffee bean.) This Portland location has indoor seating for about 60 customers with room outdoors for about 10 people. In the United States, there's just two other outposts, a majorly popular Los Angeles location that opened in 2023 and a brand new shop in Texas that opened in early June 2025. According to a press release from the company, the cafes are pushing further into the United States and China going forward. Trung Nguyên Legend Cafe Trung Nguyên's wide array of flavors that are worth trying, and the ornate presentations, is unusual for most American coffee fans, Tran says. It's new to the Western market, he adds, and nothing like the Starbucks most are familiar with. 'Vietnamese coffee's been getting a lot of traffic in Western culture,' he says. 'Especially this brand. The bean is number one rated in Vietnam.' Trung Nguyên Legend Cafe (8435 SE Powell Boulevard) opens Saturday, August 2, and will operate 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day of the week.

Russian and US space chiefs meet to discuss continued cooperation

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's space chief has visited the United States to discuss plans for continued cooperation between Moscow and Washington on the International Space Station and lunar research with NASA's acting chief, the first such face-to-face meeting in more than seven years. Dmitry Bakanov, the director of the state space corporation Roscosmos, met Thursday with NASA's new acting administrator, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, on a visit to attend the planned launch of a U.S.-Japanese-Russian crew to the space station. The launch was delayed by weather until Friday. Roscosmos said Bakanov and Duffy discussed 'further work on the International Space Station, cooperation on lunar programs, joint exploration of deep space and continued cooperation on other space projects.' Once bitter rivals in the space race during the Cold War, Roscosmos and NASA cooperated on the space station and other projects. That relationship was beset with tensions after Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in 2022, but Washington and Moscow have continued to work together, with U.S. and Russian crews continuing to fly to the orbiting outpost on each country's spacecraft. Plans for broader cooperation, including possible Russian involvement in NASA's Artemis program of lunar research, have fallen apart. As Russia has become increasingly reliant on China for its energy exports and imports of key technology amid Western sanctions, Roscosmos has started cooperation with China on its prospective lunar mission. Speaking to Russian reporters after the talks with Duffy, Bakanov said that they agreed to keep working on keeping the space station in operation to the end of the decade. 'Our experts will now start working on those issues in details,' Bakanov said, praising Duffy for giving a green light for those contacts 'despite geopolitical tensions.' The Russian space chief added that he and Duffy will report the results of the meeting to Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump to secure their blessing for potential space cooperation. 'In view of the difficult geopolitical situation, we will need to receive the necessary clearance from the leaders of our countries,' Bakanov said. He added he invited Duffy to visit Moscow and the Russia-leased Baikonur launch facility in Kazakhstan for the launch of another Russia-U.S. crew to the space station scheduled for November. 'I will put my efforts into keeping the channel of cooperation between Russia and the U.S. open, and I expect NASA to do the same,' Bakanov said.
