Refined Fuels Deal at Center of US Lawsuit A legal dispute involving a refined fuels agreement between the Guyana government and a US company has escalated into a lawsuit in an American court. The case centers on allegations that confidential trade information was misused to gain an advantage in securing the deal. The lawsuit, filed in Florida in late February, names former Tennessee congressman Mark Green, lobbyist and attorney Marc C. Hebert, and Hebert’s law firm Jones Walker LLP as defendants. The suit was brought by Curlew Mainstream LLC and Playera Group Global LLC, which claim the defendants improperly used protected business information to pursue a refined fuels contract with Guyana. The report by the Nashville Banner states that Green, who served as a congressman during the time the alleged misconduct occurred, traveled to Guyana multiple times. Hebert, who previously represented Playera as it collaborated with Curlew to secure the fuel supply arrangement, is accused of leveraging confidential details from that relationship to establish a competing venture with Green. Last year, Green and Hebert formed Prosimos, a company the lawsuit alleges was created to compete for a similar fuel agreement in Guyana. The filing claims that during a meeting in Washington, D.C., in April 2025, Green and Hebert suggested they could influence whether Curlew Midstream secured a proposed fuel exchange agreement. At the time, Green was chairman of the US House Homeland Security Committee. The same week, Prosimos was established in Florida, and the defendants allegedly communicated with the Guyanese government about issues with Curlew’s pending agreement, actions the plaintiffs say delayed the deal.#mark_green #marc_c_hebert #guyana #curlew_midstream #playera_group_global

Mark Green faces lawsuit over Prosimos dealings in Guyana Before Mark Green abruptly retired from the U.S. House of Representatives last summer, the embattled congressman and his lobbyist business partner allegedly used trade information from one of the partner’s clients to compete for a lucrative fuel agreement with the Guyanese government. Last spring, Green established a company called Prosimos alongside lobbyist and corporate attorney Marc C. Hebert. In June, Green announced his retirement from Congress, less than six months into his fourth term, which he won in a 2024 campaign marked by personal drama involving his divorce, an alleged affair, and family tensions. In July, he stepped down, triggering a special election to replace him in a midstate district. While campaigning for his successor, Rep. Matt Van Epps, Green told the Nashville Banner that Prosimos was designed to compete with Chinese companies for international business, stating, “The motto is basically, ‘If an American company doesn’t do it, a Chinese company will.’” At a September event for Van Epps, Green emphasized his commitment to supporting American companies abroad, saying, “You don’t serve the country for 36 years in some capacity and [not] still want to do some good.” At the center of Prosimos’ operations is Guyana, a South American nation that Green visited repeatedly during his final months in office, including during his retirement announcement. Since discovering a large oil reserve off its coast in 2015, Guyana has become a target for foreign investors seeking to profit from its resources and infrastructure needs. However, the lawsuit claims this was not the original plan for Prosimos.#mark_green #marc_c_hebert #jones_walker_llp #guyana #curlew_mainstream_llc

Georgia Tech vs Clemson Final Score Prediction Georgia Tech will face Clemson in their final game of the season, aiming to end the year on a positive note. The Yellow Jackets, who recently lost to California after a strong first-half performance, hope to secure a victory in their last home game. Senior guard Kowacie Reeves Jr. led the team with 19 points in his farewell game at McCamish Pavilion, joining Lamar Washington, who contributed 10 assists in a strong senior night. Clemson, meanwhile, enters the matchup after a challenging stretch, having lost five of their last six games. Despite a solid 12-3 home record this season, the Tigers have struggled in recent home games, including a 67-63 defeat at North Carolina. Their offense is paced by RJ Godfrey (12.3 points per game) and Carter Welling (10.2 points per game). The matchup has historical significance for Georgia Tech, as they have won the last two meetings at Clemson, including a dramatic triple-overtime victory last season. In their most recent game at Clemson, the Yellow Jackets trailed by two points at halftime but fell behind after the Tigers shot 51.9% in the second half. Reeves and Washington led the scoring effort, with Reeves finishing with 19 points and Washington adding 10. Last year’s game at Clemson saw Baye Ndongo deliver a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds, sealing the Jackets’ first road win of the season. The Tigers were ranked No. 21 at the time, and the series has been split over Damon Stoudamire’s three seasons, with each team claiming their respective road victories. A win for Georgia Tech would extend their three-game winning streak in Littlejohn Coliseum. Clemson’s recent struggles present an opportunity for Georgia Tech, which has had 21 games decided by 15 points or less this season.#georgia_tech #clemson #kowacie_reeves_jr #lamar_washington #rj_godfrey

Lady Gaga Teases Wedding Date and Shares Romantic Details with Bruno Mars Lady Gaga has shared updates about her upcoming wedding to fiancé Michael Polansky, including a heartfelt moment during a TikTok Live appearance with Bruno Mars. In a bonus clip from Mars’ Romantic Radio TikTok Live on March 6, Gaga spoke about her plans for the big day. “Me and my fiancé have been traveling all year,” she said, adding that they were “getting married soon” and asked Mars to choose a special song for the ceremony. Mars, who had previously popped the question to Gaga with a blade of grass, suggested a track from his latest album. “I would go with ‘Risk It All,’ track one,” he said, dedicating the song to both Gaga and Michael. He also made sure to include Michael in the tribute, saying, “Michael this is for you too.” While the exact wedding date remains undisclosed, Gaga hinted at the significance of the event during an interview with E! News in March 2025. “I’m desperately trying to keep that so private,” she said, but added, “I can promise that it will be the best day of my life.” The couple, who have been together for seven years, also reflected on their relationship’s impact on Gaga’s music. She revealed that their engagement inspired one of her most personal songs, “Blade of Glass.” Writing the track alongside Michael, she described the process as “haunting,” recalling a moment during the song’s creation when she joked, “I’ll give you something, but it’s no diamond ring.” Michael responded with, “The air that I’m breathing.” Gaga’s love for Michael took center stage during her acceptance speech for the Best Pop Album award at the 2025 Grammys. “I have to say thank you first to my partner, Michael,” she said, acknowledging his role as co-executive producer on her album Mayhem.#lady_gaga #michael_polansky #bruno_mars #venice_film_festival #gabriel_attal

Lady Gaga shares major update on wedding to Michael Polansky Lady Gaga has confirmed she plans to marry her fiancé, Michael Polansky, “soon,” during a recent appearance on Bruno Mars’ “Romantic Radio” iHeartRadio livestream. The singer shared the update in a recorded message, stating, “Me and my fiancé have been traveling all year, but we’re getting married soon. We were hoping you could choose a special song for us.” Mars responded by suggesting the song “Risk It All” from Gaga’s latest album. The couple first hinted at their engagement in July 2024, when a source told Page Six that Gaga had been engaged to Polansky for several months before announcing the news at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Polansky reportedly proposed to Gaga on her 38th birthday in March 2025, initially with a blade of grass before upgrading to a $2 million ring. Gaga later revealed the engagement during an appearance on the “Howard Stern Show,” where she described the proposal as a “very special moment.” Gaga and Polansky have been vocal about their wedding plans, emphasizing their desire for an intimate ceremony rather than a large event. Polansky stated, “We don’t want a really big wedding, but we want to enjoy it. In a lot of ways, we already feel married, so it’s not like it’s gonna change much.” The couple also mentioned they are considering a wedding date during or after the conclusion of Gaga’s Mayhem Ball Tour, which ends on April 13 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The pair has been frequently spotted together at high-profile events, including the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, where they shared a passionate kiss on stage. They also attended the “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” in February 2025, showcasing their public affection.#lady_gaga #michael_polansky #romantic_radio #page_six #madison_square_garden

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney Pay £2 Million to Acquire Wrexham AFC Wrexham AFC, a Welsh football club, has become a global phenomenon after being purchased by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in November 2020. The duo’s investment has transformed the club into a major media and cultural attraction, propelling it into the spotlight with increased media coverage, documentaries, and social media engagement. Since their acquisition, Wrexham has achieved three consecutive promotions, securing its place in the English Championship—the second tier of English football—and now competes with aspirations of reaching the Premier League. The purchase price for the club’s ownership rights was reported to be approximately £2 million ($2.5 million), a fraction of the billions required to acquire top-tier English clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, or Liverpool. This relatively modest sum highlights the varying costs of acquiring football clubs, which depend on factors such as league level, financial performance, and market demand. Reynolds and McElhenney’s investment has allowed Wrexham to modernize both on and off the pitch, with significant upgrades to the squad, infrastructure, and operational standards. The club’s recent success includes a strong performance in the Championship, with hopes of securing a playoff spot and advancing to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. Off the field, Wrexham has evolved into a fully professional entity, featuring a dedicated physiotherapy team and high-profile sponsorships. The duo’s involvement has also brought a new level of global attention to the club, blending football with entertainment and creating a unique brand identity. Wrexham’s participation in the English Football League system is rooted in its historical context.#fa_cup #ryan_reynolds #rob_mcelhenney #wrexham_afc #english_championship

Wrexham's Ambitious Plan to Reach the Premier League A member of Wrexham’s staff recently recalled an old email sent to employees years ago, announcing the arrival of a new coffee machine. At the time, the club had just 17 staff members. Today, the team has grown to over 150, with more joining daily as the club races toward an unprecedented goal: rising from the National League to the Premier League in four seasons. The transformation is evident on the pitch and behind the scenes. Head groundsman Paul Chaloner and kitman Iwan Pugh-Jones, both longtime Wrexham employees, stood in the sunshine on Tuesday, watching players prepare for an FA Cup fifth-round clash against Chelsea. Chaloner, who once worried about training on a muddy pitch, now oversees a £1.7 million Premier League-standard pitch with plastic stitching woven into the grass, installed last summer. Pugh-Jones, who once struggled to fit two industrial washing machines in his cramped kit room, now manages double the machines with an assistant, all under the scrutiny of top-flight expectations. The club’s rapid ascent has brought new challenges. While players still complain, the staff faces heightened pressure to meet standards befitting a Premier League club. UEFA’s Euro Under-19 games will be held at the Racecourse Ground this summer, adding to the expectations. Chaloner notes, “Everybody is watching us.” The journey from National League to Championship contention has been dramatic. Three years ago, the club’s Transit van, 15 years old, was the main mode of transport for staff to away games. Now, Pugh-Jones drives a newer VW Crafter, reflecting the club’s evolving infrastructure. Despite the progress, the path remains fraught with obstacles.#wrexham #paul_chaloner #iwan_pughjones #ryan_reynolds #rob_mcelhenney

Boston Bruins Opt for Caution at Trade Deadline, Stick With Current Roster The Boston Bruins took a cautious approach at the NHL trade deadline, making only two minor trades and otherwise choosing to stay the course. The team’s decision to avoid significant roster changes has sparked debate among analysts, but general manager Don Sweeney and the organization argue it was the right move for a team still building toward playoff contention. The Bruins’ only notable trades involved a prospect swap with the Philadelphia Flyers and a deal with the Vancouver Canucks. In the first, they acquired forwards Alexis Gendron and Massimo Rizzo in exchange for forward Brett Harrison and defenseman Jackson Edward. The second trade sent a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Canucks for 23-year-old forward Lukas Reichel, a former first-round pick with NHL experience. While Reichel’s potential is intriguing, he will start the season in Providence, leaving Boston’s active roster unchanged. This marked the closest the Bruins have come to a “stand pat” deadline since 2007-08, when most trades occurred well before the deadline. Sweeney’s decision to avoid major moves has been met with mixed reactions. Critics argue the team missed an opportunity to strengthen its playoff chances by acquiring veteran players or draft picks. However, Sweeney and his staff believe the Bruins are not yet a true Stanley Cup contender and that overpaying for short-term fixes would undermine long-term goals. The team’s flaws—such as penalty struggles, a weak penalty kill, and a lack of a true No. 1 center—cannot be solved in a single trade deadline. Several high-profile free agents and prospects were linked to the Bruins, including right-shot defensemen and first-line centers.#don_sweeney #vancouver_canucks #bostonbruins #philadelphia_flyers #alexis_gendron
