The Dateline interview revealed money and independence issues, not abuse, with estimates of a four million dollar parental cash call and a secure trust, while Dominique insists she plans to compete in the next Olympics.

Fed signals no rate cuts until next year amid mixed growth
The Fed held steady after a third rate cut in seven weeks, citing conditions that may support inflation control and sustained growth. Inflation runs about 1.6 percent, a dip from last year's 1.7 percent, while growth is seen at 3.5 percent this year slowing to 2.5 percent or less next year amid overcapacity and a surge of imports from distressed Asian economies. The trade deficit could reach a record $250 billion, largely with the Pacific Rim.
