A U.S. appeals court on Monday upheld a federal court's order that could force Apple Inc to change payment practices in its App Store. Apple said it may appeal the decision. The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeal upheld a 2021 order in an antitrust case brought by "Fortnite" creator Epic Games that could require Apple to allow developers to provide links and buttons for third-party in-app payment options and avoid paying sales commissions to the iPhone maker. Apple shares ended the day up slightly at $165.

When Rachel Frank , MD, associate professor of orthopedics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine , performs surgery on a patient with a knee injury, it's more than professional.

She underwent seven knee surgeries on the same knee, including during medical school at Northwestern University. "I learned what it means to be on the patient side of things and how challenging that can be, particularly if your whole life revolves around soccer or any sport, as mine did," said Frank, who practices as an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist at CU Sports Medicine.

The winger doubled her tally almost instantly, Sienna Saveska getting a slight touch on the ball to play Johnson through to finish from the top of the box.  A corner at the other end almost saw the Islamic Republic of Iran half the deficit, with Chloe Lincoln doing enough to keep Australia's two-goal lead intact.
