Health officials in Illinois turned to an AI chatbot to try to solve a puzzling outbreak linked to a county fair. But whether it was actually helpful or not remains unclear. According to a report this week in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report , officials in Brown County got the first hint of an outbreak from the county sheriff, who noted on August 5, 2024 that a remarkable number of potential jurors for an upcoming trial said they had a stomach bug. Then, on August 12, the state health department notified the county of a case of Salmonella enterica serotype Agbeni. With those two tips, county health officials opened an investigation and were able to identify 13 cases—seven laboratory-confirmed cases of S. enterica Agbeni and six probable cases that were in close contact with confirmed cases. The cases spanned five counties, but they all had one thing in common: everyone had gone to the Brown County fair. Read full article Comments

Khadi Ganiev/iStock via Getty Images When oil markets resume trading next week, there could be major price swings as traders assess how the ongoing attacks from the U.S. and Israel on Iran are impacting Iranian oil infrastructure and global oil supply. Scenarios before the latest conflict with Iran foresaw a quick price spike that fades if the attacks didn't affect oil shipping and infrastructure such as Iranian pipelines and its Kharg island terminal. However, there would be a bigger price spike and longer-lasting impact if oil infrastructure or supplies were interrupted, for instance because of disruption of tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices have already risen on war fears. International benchmark Brent crude closed at a seven-month high of $72.87 on Friday. Iran exports some 1.6 million barrels of oil a day, most of it going to China, where privately owned refineries are less concerned about the U.S. sanctions that prevent Iran from selling its oil elsewhere. If that supply is disrupted, Chinese customers would look elsewhere for oil on the global market, potentially driving up prices. Another question is around the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global oil supply pass through each day. Middle East exporters Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates send most of their exports through the strait. However analysts say Iran has no incentive to try to close the strait because it would cut off its own exports and hurt its only big customer, China. Limited strikes on Iran’s nuclear program and the Revolutionary Guard that avoid regime change or all-out war could see prices jump $5-$10 based on fear alone, according to Rystad Energy in a prewar scenario. A wider war involving Iranian disruption of tanker traffic could see crude push past $90 per barrel and US gas prices “well above” $3 per gallon, according to another prewar scenario from Clayton Seigle at the Center for Strategic & International Studies. U.S. gas prices averaged $2.9...

treasurephoto/iStock via Getty Images Last July, I cautioned investors that FS KKR Capital Corp. ( FSK ) did not present an attractive risk-reward and that its dividend was also at risk, and so I had sold it and stated: we are avoiding FSK despite having made substantial returns on it in the past and are instead favoring other BDCs right now. The stock promptly sold off: Data by YCharts This led us to view the stock in November 2025 as undervalued, so we added it to our watch list. However, I acknowledged "the potential for weakness in the underwriting performance of the portfolio" and stated that "there are other BDCs that I continue to like more on a risk-adjusted basis." Thus, I did not buy it and waited for a further sell-off. It turns out my increase in optimism was not warranted, but my cautious decision to remain on the sidelines was, as FSK just delivered a complete dud of a quarter with its net asset value plunging by about 5% in a single quarter alone, and the market crushed it in response. Data by YCharts In this article, I will take a deeper look at FSK to determine if it is worth buying on the dip, now that the price to NAV has dropped to a near 50% discount. Portfolio Quality Concerns Are Mounting First of all, FSK is an externally managed and diversified BDC ( BIZD ) that is run by a partnership between FS and KKR ( KKR ). As such, it lends primarily to private equity-sponsored middle market companies through a diversified set of investments, most of which are senior secured loans that earn it contractual senior-in-the-capital-stack investments, senior-in-the-capital-stack cash flows via interest payments, and then it returns the vast majority of those to shareholders via dividends after taking off management's cut via base management and performance incentive fees. In turn, it provides what should be professional underwriting expertise and active management of its loan portfolio to try to generate outsized risk-adjusted returns. The portfolio is pret...

Dubai’s nightmare scenario unfolded Saturday: Defense systems repelling Iranian missiles and drones over its famous skyscrapers, random explosions and plumes of black smoke rising out of the city-state’s most celebrated neighborhood. Local authorities said four people were injured in a fire at Palm Jumeirah, the man-made island that’s famous for its luxury hotels, resorts and attractions. A high-end hotel there was hit by parts of a missile that was either intercepted or got knocked off its trajectory. Iran launched an unprecedented wave of airstrikes in the region targeting US bases and fracturing the emirate’s long-held image of a haven in a tough neighborhood. Dubai has prided itself with its unshakable security and safety. Many still leave their cars and homes unlocked. But social media is full of videos of interceptors and objects flying in the sky, an unthinkable scene in the emirate. A restaurant in the Dubai International Financial Center, the Middle East’s main financial hub, unexpectedly asked customers to pay and leave so they could close early. Panic-buying in some supermarkets prompted Emirati authorities to issue a statement and reassure residents that there is ample supply of food. Strategic reserves of essential commodities are “robust, comprehensive and diversified,” they said, asking people to refrain from stockpiling. US, Israel Start Attacks on Iran in War That’s Engulfing Region Missiles Seen Over Abu Dhabi Financial Hub Dent Safe Haven Image Iranian Missile Attacks Set to Strain US Interceptor Stockpiles Missiles struck a service center at a US base and residential buildings in Bahrain, and a drone hit Kuwait’s airport, injuring some staff at a passenger terminal. The American base there was also hit, lightly injuring three members of the Kuwaiti military. Qatar intercepted several waves of airstrikes and suspended flights, as did many others. The UAE partially closed its airspace and suspended flights in Dubai as it intercepted Iranian rockets...
