Owner of dog mauled on Upper West Side blames lack of enforcement for attack
A small dog is still recovering after being mauled by larger dogs in Manhattan earlier this month. CBS News New York has learned it's possible the attack could have been prevented. It has been nearly a month since Lauren Claus' dog, Penny, was viciously attacked on the Upper West Side by two large dogs. "This process has been extremely frustrating. I've learned a lot in the past month about how much this city doesn't really seem to care about the welfare of dogs and how willing they are to sort of cast aside somebody," Claus said. She said her mission to get justice for her 10-year-old Chihuahua mix has been hitting brick walls, as the law says pets are considered property. "That's disgusting to me. That's absolutely disgusting to me," Claus said. The March 5 order by the NYC Department of Health Claus also learned that back on March 5 the city's Department of Health ordered the owner of the aggressive animals to keep his dogs muzzled and on tight leashes, after both were involved in a fatal attack in Central Park in January. Claus said that order was not in compliance the day Penny was attacked earlier this month. "If they had acted on the violation of the order, this never would have happened to Penny, because he would have been in violation. And under that misdemeanor, his dogs could have been seized, without question," Claus said. A week after Penny was attacked, hundreds of people poured into a packed room with deep concerns, saying the two dogs involved in Penny's attack have been a constant problem. They met with police, the Department of Health, and local leaders, including City Councilwoman Gale Brewer, who just found out about the Department of Health's order from CBS News New York on Wednesday. "I was livid. I didn't know a thing about it," Brewer said. "Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Nobody shared this information, even at the meeting. The Police Department and the Health Department need to work together to have these dogs muzzled on a leash or off the streets." Dog owner in question was hit with summonses The Health Department says it followed up on the order twice in March, giving the dog owner two separate summons for a $1,000 fine after learning the owner didn't muzzle the dogs. It would only say now that the investigation is ongoing. For now, Claus is continuing the fight for her dog. She said she thinks about what happened and the aftermath "every day, every time I look at her," adding, "I'm working on her case all the time. It has become a second job for me." She said she hopes a bill in Albany called "Penny's Law," designed to hold dog owners accountable for their pets' actions, will pass. She said she is starting a petition to get city leaders on board. "We're really asking the city to pay attention and actually prosecute crimes that are clear crimes. But this is something that's actionable, that we can actually move on, and we're not sure why," Claus said.

US court blocks Trump's sweeping global tariffs
A US trade court has blocked Donald Trump's tariffs from going into effect in what is a significant setback for the US president. The Manhattan-based Court of International Trade on Wednesday ruled that the US president overstepped his authority by imposing across-the-board duties on imports from nations that sell more to the United States than they buy. The court said the US Constitution gives Congress exclusive authority to regulate commerce with other countries that is not overridden by the president's emergency powers to safeguard the US economy. 'The court does not pass upon the wisdom or likely effectiveness of the president's use of tariffs as leverage. That use is impermissible not because it is unwise or ineffective, but because [federal law] does not allow it,' a three-judge panel said in the decision. The Trump administration minutes later filed a notice of appeal. The ruling quashes duties that Mr Trump imposed on Canada, Mexico and China separately using those emergency powers. It came in a pair of lawsuits, one filed by the non-partisan Liberty Justice Center on behalf of five small US businesses that import goods from countries targeted by the duties and the other by 13 US states. The companies, which range from a New York wine and spirits importer to a Virginia-based maker of educational kits and musical instruments, have said the tariffs will hurt their ability to do business. The White House and lawyers for groups that sued did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Stephen Miller, a White House deputy chief of staff and one of Mr Trump's lead policy advisers, rebuked the court in a brief social media post, writing: 'The judicial coup is out of control.' At least five other legal challenges to the tariffs are pending. Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield, a Democrat whose office is leading the states' lawsuit, called Mr Trump's tariffs unlawful, reckless and economically devastating. 'This ruling reaffirms that our laws matter, and that trade decisions can't be made on the president's whim,' Mr Rayfield said in a statement. Mr Trump has claimed broad authority to set tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which is meant to address 'unusual and extraordinary' threats during a national emergency. The law has historically been used to impose sanctions on enemies of the US or freeze their assets. Mr Trump is the first US president to use it to impose tariffs. The Justice Department has said the lawsuits should be dismissed because the plaintiffs have not been harmed by tariffs that they have not yet paid, and because only Congress, not private businesses, can challenge a national emergency declared by the president under IEEPA. Mr Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs on most trading partners on April 2, at a baseline 10 per cent, plus steeper levies on dozens of economies, including China and the European Union. Many of those country-specific tariffs were paused a week later. The US president had called the trade deficit a national emergency in order to justify his 10 per cent across-the-board tariff on all imports. The Trump administration on May 12 then said it was temporarily reducing the steepest tariffs on China while working on a longer-term trade deal. Both countries agreed to cut tariffs on each other for at least 90 days.

Nvidia eases concerns about China with upbeat sales forecast
Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang soothed investor fears about a China slowdown by delivering a solid sales forecast, saying that the AI computing market is still poised for "exponential growth.' The company expects revenue of about $45 billion in its second fiscal quarter, which runs through July. New export restrictions will cost Nvidia about $8 billion in Chinese revenue during the period, but the forecast still met analysts' estimates. That helped propel the shares about 4% Wednesday in extended trading. The outlook shows that Nvidia is ramping up production of Blackwell, its latest semiconductor design. The chipmaker — now the world's largest by revenue and market value — dominates the field of AI accelerators, the components that help develop and run artificial intelligence models. And an ever-broader lineup of hardware and software is letting Nvidia sell more products to customers. As part of that push, the company is offering its chips as part of whole computer systems — a move it says is necessary to speed up the deployment of more complex and powerful technology. Nvidia expects AI infrastructure to eventually transform economies around the world. "Every nation now sees AI as core to the next industrial revolution — a new industry that produces intelligence and essential infrastructure for every economy,' Huang said on a conference call with analysts. Nvidia shares had earlier closed at $134.81 in New York, leaving the stock little changed in 2025. Sales in the first quarter, which ended April 27, rose 69% to $44.1 billion. That compared with an average estimate of $43.3 billion. That growth would be enviable for most chipmakers, though it was the smallest percentage gain in two years. Profit was 96 cents a share, minus certain items. Wall Street was looking for 93 cents. The data center unit, a division that's larger by itself than all of Nvidia's nearest rivals combined, had sales of $39.1 billion. That was just shy of the average estimate of $39.2 billion. Gaming-related sales — once Nvidia's main business — were $3.8 billion. Analysts projected $2.85 billion on average. Automotive was $567 million. One lingering question is whether U.S. trade restrictions on China will hinder Nvidia's long-term growth. In April, the Trump administration placed new curbs on exports of data center processors to Chinese customers, effectively shutting Nvidia out of the market. The chipmaker said on Wednesday that it incurred a $4.5 billion writedown because of the issue. Attendees walk through the exhibition hall at Nvidia GTC, a global artificial intelligence conference for developers, in San Jose, California, on March 19. | Mike Kai Chen / The New York Times "The broader concern is that trade tensions and potential tariff impacts on data center expansion could create headwinds for AI chip demand in upcoming quarters,' Emarketer analyst Jacob Bourne said in a note. Nvidia also disclosed that it's facing scrutiny inside China, where regulators have demanded that it keep supplying local companies in return for regulatory approval of its acquisition of Mellanox. The company warned that it may face penalties in that case. Nvidia completed the purchase of Mellanox, a maker of networking technology, in 2020. "Regulators in China are investigating whether complying with applicable U.S. export controls discriminates unfairly against customers in the China market,' it said in a filing. "If regulators conclude that we have failed to fulfill such commitments or we have violated any applicable law in China, we could be subject to financial penalties, restrictions on our ability to conduct our business.' On the call with analysts, Huang was asked whether the company will produce a new chip that will let it resume shipping to China. It had earlier created the less-powerful H20 product for that purpose, tailoring it to meet previous U.S. rules. But stricter curbs now limit its sale in the country. Huang said that Nvidia couldn't reduce the capabilities of the H20 further and still field a product that was useful. However, the company is pondering whether it can come up with something "interesting' for the market. He said Nvidia is just discussing the idea and has nothing currently. Nvidia will consult with the U.S. government if it's able to design something. The CEO used the call to renew his appeal to the Trump administration to allow it to produce chips for China again. Without getting that clearance, global leadership in AI isn't guaranteed, he said. Chinese companies will succeed in AI by themselves, Huang said. "Losing access to the China AI accelerator market, which we believe will grow to nearly $50 billion, would have a material adverse impact on our business going forward and benefit our foreign competitors in China and worldwide,' he said. Nvidia isn't the only tech company grappling with the Trump administration's tougher stance toward China. HP, which also released results on Wednesday, warned of "trade-related' costs in the face of tariffs and a slowing economy. Its shares tumbled about 8% in late trading following the report. Some providers of chip design software, meanwhile, have been warned by the administration to stop selling their products in China. Nvidia, which first gained fame selling graphics cards to gamers, has become an AI powerhouse in the past two years. The Santa Clara, California-based company was quick to realize the potential for what it calls accelerated computing — a hardware-and-software arrangement that is setting the stage for machines that can learn and reason like humans. The chipmaker's ascent to a market value of more than $3 trillion, about 10% of the total value of the Nasdaq, has investors judging it by extremely high standards. They've become accustomed to rapid growth and stratospheric profitability. Even marginal misses relative to those lofty estimates stoke fears about the AI boom slowing down. Nvidia accounts for about 90% of the market for AI accelerator chips, an area that's proven extremely lucrative. This fiscal year, the company will near $200 billion in annual sales, up from $27 billion just two years ago. While Nvidia is being squeezed out of China, other policy changes may help open up additional markets. The U.S. president recently visited Saudi Arabia and other states in the Middle East, where he announced large AI projects. That reversed a push by his predecessor to clamp down on the region's access to AI technology. Huang was asked whether he'll unveil similar plans in other countries. He said he's traveling to Europe next week. "I will be in France, U.K., Germany, Belgium,' he said in an interview. "And I think it is very clear now that every country recognizes that artificial intelligence, like electricity, internet and communications, is part of a national infrastructure.'

(Photo by Kevin Mazur/for Spotify) Miley Cyrus has finally revealed the truth behind that gold dress from her 'Flowers' music video, following plenty of fan speculation about its deeper meaning. While it's not a stretch to believe that the hit song was written about Cyrus' ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, who she divorced in 2020 following over a decade together, fans think the singer dropped a few pointed clues upon the song's release. Most notably, the track's music video, which has amassed over a billion views since its release in 2023, shows the singer in a vintage gold lamé Saint Laurent gown. With an oversized hood and an ab-bearing cutout, the sparkling number is a show-stopper. However, netizens have speculated about the reference ever since. Miley Cyrus / Image: @MileyCyrus At the time, viewers instantly began to draw similarities between Cyrus' gown and one worn by Jennifer Lawrence at the 2012 premiere of The Hunger Games . The Prabal Gurung gown was also gold lamé and featured side cut-outs. Amidst cheating rumours, fans wondered if the former Disney star's gown was a reference to her ex-husband's co-star. It seems that those rumours can finally be laid to rest, as while signing autographs outside of Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week, a fan asked the singer , 'Was your flowers dress a reference to Jennifer Lawrence?' 'No, but I love that dress of hers,' the musician cheerfully responded. Liam Hemsworth (L) and Jennifer Lawrence arrive at 'The Hunger Games' Los Angeles premiere, 2012 in Los Angeles, United States. (Photo by Lester Cohen/WireImage) In an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in 2023, Lawrence also gave her thoughts on the matter, telling the audience, 'I assume that was, like, a coincidence.' The actress also cleared the air regarding cheating rumours, stating, '[They're] not true, total rumour.' 'I mean, we all know me and Liam, like, kissed one time,' she added, referencing the pair's on-screen kiss in Mockingjay Part 1 . 'It was years after they'd broken up.'

(Photo byfor Disney) With the matter cleared, this chapter may now be closed. Currently, Cyrus is dating musician Maxx Morando, and Hemsworth is dating model/actress Gabriella Brooks. Meanwhile, Lawrence shares two children with husband Cooke Maroney. topics: Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Flowers, Miley Cyrus Flowers, Music News, celebrity, celebrity news, celebrity couples, music, Celebrity Breakups
