A North Carolina judge has ruled that Tailei Qi, the man who fatally shot UNC physics professor Zijie Yan in August 2023, is not guilty by reason of insanity. The verdict, reached after psychiatric testimony confirmed Qi suffered from untreated schizophrenia and psychotic delusions, dropped all murder charges. Instead of prison, Qi will be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital indefinitely. The ruling underscores the complex role mental health plays in the justice system, especially in cases that shock communities and force difficult legal and ethical choices.

O’Charley’s Closes All Corporate Locations | Durham News
O’Charley’s, the beloved chain known for its sports-game commercials and southern comfort food, is shutting down its 49 corporate locations—gone by September 8th—with no warning. Not bankruptcy, but a strategic pivot by parent company Cannae Holdings, which had already flagged a 13% sales drop. Menu tweaks and service upgrades failed to revive the brand. Once a community staple with lively bars and gatherings, its disappearance leaves a void—especially since the only remaining location in Niles, Ohio, closes September 27th after 20 years. The company is now entering an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors, opening the door for creditors to file claims soon.

Yash’s Betrayal and Bribe Fallout | Durham News
Yash’s game just ended, but his fire’s still burning—he says he’d’ve nominated Devens in a heartbeat if he could’ve, calling him a social genius and a major threat. But loyalty to Dee kept him from doing it… until Dee tried to buy his silence with $5K. When Devens saved Dee with his veto, Yash felt abandoned. Then came the second bribe: keep Dee, Angela, and Devens safe—or get voted out. He took it, knowing declining would likely seal his fate. He admits he felt used and isolated, but claims the deal gave him breathing room. Out now, Yash’s got no regrets—and zero filter on his take.

Yardeni Revises S&P 500 Target | Durham News
Published 17 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Now, he's pushing that target back, saying we won't see 8,400 until mid-2027. This shift comes as the Federal Reserve has decided to raise interest rates again, aiming to combat inflation. This move is a departure from expectations and signals a tougher stance on price increases, especially with rising oil and gas costs impacting the economy. The Fed's decision to tighten monetary policy is a direct response to inflation that remains well above their 2% target. This has led to higher bond yields, making investments like bonds more attractive compared to stocks and potentially slowing down economic growth, and corporate profits. […]
