Yesterday, Ryan noted the Seattle Mariners had the chance to do something dumb. The option remains on the table tonight, particularly with Shohei Ohtani receiving a rest day. Against the resurgent Roki Sasaki and the Los Angeles Dodgers, ***** uming simplicity is simple-minded itself. But Bryan Woo is facing his greatest enemy, with nothing to do with Kyle Tucker or Max Muncy. The .304/.344/.479 line he's allowed on the road, with a .354 wOBA, is about equivalent to facing Muncy, Randy Arozarena, or Ketel Marte every single plate appearance. He should consider simply returning to magic fastballs instead of these miserable, mundane ones.
With only four games remaining between today and the trade deadline Monday, Seattle needs every bit of clarity they can find.

NEW YORK, July 22 (Reuters) - A judge rejected Zelle's bid to dismiss a lawsuit by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who said the electronic payment ‌platform's refusal to adopt critical safety features enabled fraudsters to steal more than $1 billion ‌from consumers.
In a decision on Tuesday, Justice Phaedra Perry-Bond of a New York state court in Manhattan said James sufficiently alleged that Zelle's parent Early Warning Services "prioritized accessibility, convenience, consumer adoption, and market dominance at the expense of consumer safety" in rushing the platform to market, despite objections from its banking partners.
Early Warning Services is owned by seven large U.S. banks: Bank of America, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, PNC, Truist, US Bank ‌and Wells Fargo.
Perry-Bond said Zelle also conceded ⁠it is still collecting and retaining fees from fraudulent transactions, raising the question of whether it implicitly or expressly approved what the fraudsters were doing.

Jennifer Aniston's signature style is built on timeless wardrobe staples like white tees, relaxed denim, maxi dresses, and sleek black gowns that always feel polished yet effortless.
The actress relies on simple styling formulas—think wedges, pendant necklaces, aviator sunglasses, and neutral accessories—to make minimalist outfits feel elevated and endlessly wearable.
From tailored **** on-downs to cargo pants and jumpsuits, Aniston proves that repeating versatile basics and refining your personal uniform is the key to mastering quiet luxury style.
There are A-listers with trend-forward closets, and then there are celebrities who quietly define an entire approach to getting dressed. Jennifer Aniston has long fallen into the latter category. Across decades of red carpets, paparazzi shots, and off-duty outings, the actress has built a wardrobe rooted in simplicity, consistency, and fine-tuned minmalism. While today's sartorial tastemakers often swing between maximalism and fleeting trend cycles, Aniston's fashion philosophy has remained remarkably steady: sleek tailoring, effortless denim, timeless black dresses, and elevated basics that never feel overdone.
Part of what makes her style so enduring is its wearability. Whether she's stepping onto an awards-show carpet in a formal gown or grabbing coffee in relaxed jeans and a white tank, there's always an ease to her outfits that feels polished without being unattainable. And over the years, she's developed a handful of signature styling formulas she returns to again and again—proof that personal style is less about constantly reinventing yourself and more about refining what already works.

FedEx is introducing, but not widely advertising, a series of new charges and fees over the next two weeks that could catch customers by surprise, building on a recent pricing strategy aimed at boosting revenue without touching base rates that shippers tend to focus on.
Over an 18-month span, FedEx (NASDAQ: FDX) has implemented or announced more than 50 pricing changes, according to parcel spend management firm LJM. On top of three general rate increases have been fuel surcharge adjustments, five changes to One Rate (a flat-rate, upfront shipping program designed to provide simplicity and predictability), delivery area surcharge updates, customs-related fees, dimensional pricing changes, peak surcharges and demand surcharges.
The surcharges are typically less visible to freight owners than base rates and can have a large impact on transportation budgets.
Shippers have experienced a significant increase in fuel surcharges from FedEx, UPS and even the U.S. Postal Service as the Iran war limited crude oil supplies, pushing up the cost of diesel and jet fuel used to power their fleets, as the TD Cowen/AFS Logistics Freight Index quantified last week. Fuel surcharges in the second quarter were two-thirds higher than the prior year. Overall, the express parcel rate per package increased 5.9% in the second quarter, while the ground parcel rate per package grew 5.2%.
"The biggest takeaway is not just that FedEx is raising rates on a continual basis, but how those increases have been distributed. Many shippers now see accessorial charges in the high-30% to low-40% range as a share of spend, with some exceeding 50%, LJM said in an article on its website. The constant micro-adjustments mean businesses should review their contracts more than once a year, it added.

Madison Small Cap Fund, managed by Madison Funds, released its Q2 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded fhere. The small-cap market showed exceptional strength in Q2, largely due to anticipated peace in the Middle East. The Russell 2000 Index began to rally, propelled by Information Technology, Health Care, and Industrials. The Madison Small Cap Fund (Class I) returned 12.7% in the quarter, underperforming the Russell 2000's 21.5% and Russell 2500's 20.2%. While strong gains were seen in Info Tech investments, recent investments in underperforming software companies negatively impacted overall performance. Nevertheless, confidence in the long-term potential of these software investments remains high. The firm is optimistic about small caps, noting their recent outperformance over large caps, recovery in certain software sectors, and improvements in some housing stocks toward the end of the second quarter. Please review the Fund's top five holdings to gain insights into their key selections for 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Madison Small Cap Fund highlighted Extreme Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXTR). Extreme Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXTR) is a cloud driven enterprise networking company that develops and markets network infrastructure equipment and related software. On July 16, 2026, Extreme Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXTR) closed at $29.76 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $3.93 billion. Extreme Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXTR) posted a one-month return of -3.92%, while its shares gained 71.86% over the past 52 weeks.
Madison Small Cap Fund stated the following regarding Extreme Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXTR) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"Extreme Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXTR) (market capitalization of ~$4 billion) is a global provider of cloud driven enterprise networking solutions. The company designs and manufactures wired and wireless LAN (local area network) hardware, software-defined networking (SDN) fabric, and cloud-native management tools. They enable critical connectivity for high density, high-security environments, including professional sports stadiums, healthcare systems, and large-scale government and private enterprises. Extreme has successfully pivoted from a legacy hardware vendor to a cloud-managed, software-defined platform, creating deep "stickiness" within its customer base. In enterprise networking, the "specification moat" is significant. Once an organization builds its network fabric and security policies within Extreme's cloud dashboard, the operational risk and cost of migrating to a competitor are prohibitively high. Their strategy of offering superior simplicity and faster deployment times allows them to aggressively take market share from slower-moving, larger incumbents like Cisco and Juniper. The current industry-wide transition to Wi-Fi 7 is a catalyst, as these new hardware deployments inherently drive higher attach rates for Extreme's cloud-management software. We also believe th

Both retailers cater to a pressured consumer, but Dollar Tree's operational cleanup and clearer forward path currently present a more compelling case than Walmart's macro-battered giant.
If you own shares in Walmart (WMT) or Dollar Tree (DLTR), you are making the same fundamental bet: that in a tough economy, the American consumer will flock to value. Both are ****** ans of the same industry, so holding one is an implicit choice over the other. But a sharp divergence in their recent performance, with DLTR gaining while WMT has slipped, forces a forward-looking question: for the same exposure to the value-seeking shopper, which stock is the smarter way to own it from here?
The obvious answer is the bigger, safer Walmart. The surprising truth is that right now, the smaller Dollar Tree is showing more operational control, while Walmart's own management is flagging more acute stress among its core customers.
Guidance Shows Confidence, But The Pressures Differ
The cleanest signal of a company's future is its own forecast. Here, both companies sent a positive message in their latest reports, with each raising its outlook. Walmart boosted its forecast for 2027 net sales and adjusted earnings per share, while Dollar Tree lifted its guidance for 2026 adjusted diluted earnings per share.

GENEVA — Chinese government officials are using the United Nations' AI for Good summit in Switzerland this week to, in part, reframe the open-source models that have proliferated in China. The implicit pitch: In contrast to the most advanced US models, which can be restrictive and expensive, open-source AI tools can be a development tool for lower-income countries.
"Open source is good for all countries and all groups and all people, and I believe that is the right direction," Yu Xiaohui, the president of a Chinese government think tank, said Tuesday at a panel hosted by the Chinese government.
Beijing is leaning on its geopolitical allies to advance that vision, as it looks to shape how the technology is governed worldwide and pitch itself as the developing world's AI partner of choice.
Other speakers at Tuesday's session included top officials from Russia and Pakistan, as well as Global South nations where Beijing is making inroads, like Zambia and the Maldives. A recurring theme: The benefits from AI shouldn't be concentrated in a few rich nations.

SPYI beat JEPI by returning roughly 19% versus 8% over the past year, but JEPI's defensive low-volatility structure better cushions market drawdowns.
SPYI's SPX index options unlock Section 1256 tax treatment, deferring taxes through return-of-capital distributions and making it the stronger pick for taxable accounts.
Many financial professionals are salespeople paid on what they push, not whether you end up wealthier. A fiduciary is the opposite. The SEC legally requires them to put your interests first. Advisor.com's free matching tool pairs you with vetted fiduciaries from major national firms, all in under three minutes. See who you match with today.
Income investors chasing monthly checks from S&P 500 covered-call ETFs keep landing on the same two tickers: Neos S&P 500 High Income ETF (CBOE:SPYI) and JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSEARCA:JEPI). Both promise high, steady payouts by selling options on large-cap U.S. equities. They look interchangeable on a screener, yet their construction diverges sharply. One is engineered around tax efficiency and full index exposure. The other is built to smooth volatility, and it accepts lower upside as the cost of that smoothing. The choice comes down to which trade-off you actually want.
JEPI holds an actively selected, low-volatility subset of the S&P 500 and layers equity-linked notes (ELNs) on top to generate premium income. The stock sleeve is deliberately defensive: top holdings include Broadcom at 1.8%, Ross Stores at 1.7%, and Apple at 1.7%, with the top 10 representing just 16.4% of the portfolio. The implicit bet is that a lower-beta equity book plus ELN income will beat the S&P on a risk-adjusted basis when markets chop or fall.

Deonte Banks enters 2026 at a crossroads. The New York Giants’ 2023 first-round pick has shown fleeting flashes of dominance but endured an up-and-down career marked by inconsistency in coverage and, at times, a lacking effort.
With the fifth-year option declined, Banks is in the final year of his rookie deal and must prove his worth in a crowded, revamped secondary featuring Greg Newsome II and rookie Colton Hood.
New defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, a fellow Maryland Terrapin, has emphasized a clean slate for everyone.
"He's a talented player. He's big. He can run. He brings an element of physicality, but he's had an up-and-down career thus far," Wilson told reporters in April. "For us, it's coming in with a clean slate... We're trying to evaluate the players, see what they do well, and we're trying to teach them our way of football."
Wilson highlighted strong DB coaches who will focus on technique, footwork, and simplicity to unlock Banks' potential.

Nina Dobrev stepped out in New York City looking effortlessly polished. The actress was making her way to an appearance on 'Live with Kelly and Mark'. She embraced a fresh summer palette, wearing a pale blue striped High Sport mini dress that blended timeless tailoring with modern simplicity. Styled with matching heels and understated accessories, the look proved that subtle details can make just as much of a statement as bold prints.
Styled by Bailey Moon, Dobrev wore High Sport's 'Isla Dress in Pale Blue Seersucker', which retails for $1,180. Crafted from an Italian cotton-French Lycra blend, the sleeveless dress featured a classic crew neckline and a fitted silhouette. It skimmed the body before ending several inches above the knee. The soft jacquard gave the fabric a lightly textured finish. Meanwhile, the delicate pale blue stripes added a crisp, summery touch. Its short hemline transformed the minimal design into an effortlessly chic and fun micro minidress.
She completed the monochromatic outfit with a pair of Manolo Blahnik 'Jadaron Mules' in a matching powder blue shade. The open-toe heels complemented the dress perfectly, elongating her legs while maintaining a clean, streamlined aesthetic.
Keeping accessories minimal, Dobrev opted for sleek black oval sunglasses. She wore her long brunette hair parted down the middle and styled straight over one shoulder. Her makeup remained soft and natural, with glowing skin, subtly defined eyes, and a pink, glossy lip that kept the pastel outfit the focal point.
The actress appeared relaxed as she smiled while walking through the city, proving that elevated daytime dressing doesn't have to be complicated. With its flattering silhouette, textured fabric, and timeless stripe pattern, the High Sport dress struck the perfect balance between sophistication and ease. Dobrev's latest street-style moment offered a masterclass in summer dressing.

Each time a WNBA opponent makes hard contact with Caitlin Clark , a familiar sequence of events typically follows. Over the past few weeks that sequence has consisted of a missed whistle, a viral clip, a wave of outrage, a quiet league review, followed by an outpouring of commentary from coaches, teammates, broadcasters, and fans insisting that the sport's most visible player must be protected. And while the implicit instinct behind some of that chorus is largely understandable, and in many cases may be sincere, the language used often unknowingly relies on sentiments and language that perpetuate decades of harmful stereotypes about women athletes.
Specifically, what we are seeing as people attempt to protect Cailtin Clark is the harmful framing of women athletes as either fragile and in need of protection, while simultaneously characterizing other's as too physical and classless. The outcome of these storylines is also increasingly becoming harmful to the growth of the sport. Given that women's professional sport continues to grow at historic rates, it is unfortunate that one of the biggest storylines is being told through a frame that is reviving harmful stereotypes about women athletes.

(Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images)
The most recent example of protection came on June 24, when Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas pressed a closed fist into Clark's neck during a scramble for a loose ball and drew no whistle. The league reviewed the play the next day, upgraded it to a Flagrant 2, and suspended Thomas for one game . In the hours between, Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White described the no-calls as "absolutely unacceptable," "egregious," and "utterly disrespectful," and accused WNBA officials of failing to safeguard a "generational talent." It was not the first such moment. The Chennedy Carter hip-check, Angel Reese's forearm, and the Jacy Sheldon–Marina Mabrey physicality followed similar sequences, and each became a national conversation on whether Clark, specifically, was being adequately protected.

WASHINGTON, June 26 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund's chief economist on Friday said Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's plan to reduce forward rate guidance on monetary policy was "entirely appropriate," although ‌central banks would always need to provide some long-term guidance for markets.
Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, who leaves his post ‌to return to academic life next week, said strong forward guidance had gotten "really bad press" because it committed central banks to some future action, regardless of economic developments.
"That is something that is not tenable, of course," Gourinchas told Reuters in an interview, adding that such rigid guidance had proven to be very costly when U.S. inflation surged in 2021 and 2022 but the Fed did not act quickly because it had earlier promised to keep rates steady.
"So I think moving away from these ‌strong forms of forward guidance is entirely ⁠appropriate. Saying there is no forward guidance, I don't think that is actually the case ever. You do it explicitly, or implicitly, the market is going to form a view," ⁠he said.

Here is a look at the notable attendees who joined Kristen Stewart and Marion Cotillard on the red carpet for the opening ceremony of the 2026 Nouvelles Vagues International Biarritz Film Festival in France.
For a festival taking place during a heatwave, the collective mood was remarkably autumnal. Black dominated the red carpet, knitwear appeared more than once, and Chanel's presence was unsurprisingly strong.
Isabelle Huppert wore a black Chanel Pre-Fall 2026 cashmere dress in her usual streamlined silhouette, accented with a leather sash knotted at the waist, a styling detail we've previously seen in red on Jessie Buckley. And yes, her oversized sunglasses continue to make appearances well beyond her Balenciaga and Gucci outings. At this point, they have become as much a signature as the black dresses themselves. Chanel Fine Jewelry completed her look.
Esmé Creed-Miles wore a Ferragamo Fall 2026 look, which has a slightly dishevelled and deconstructed feel that is echoed by the hair and beauty styling. Ferragamo gold mule wedges completed her look.
Whitney Peak wore a Chanel Pre-Fall 2026 black lurex dress, which is largely saved by the simplicity of the white T-shirt. And remarkably, this may be one of the few occasions where the two-tone shoes genuinely worked for me.

For the last couple of years, I've used this outlier touchdowns column to spotlight fantasy players due for regression — positive or negative — in the upcoming season. Not to toot my own horn, but the 2025 running back edition was a rousing success. All three of the RBs due to score more in 2025 — D'Andre Swift, Travis Etienne Jr. and Jaylen Warren — improved their touchdown totals ... and they combined for an increase of 22 scores year-over-year. Zach Charbonnet was the only real miss of the RBs due to score less, but James Cook saw a slight dip as predicted, and David Montgomery was a major fantasy bust after logging four fewer TDs.

First, a quick crash course on the data. There is a consistent historical rate at which an average NFL player finds the end zone, relative to their opportunity. That rate can be more specifically dissected by field position to offer a more granular look at the data — unsurprisingly, a goal-to-go target has a much higher chance of producing a touchdown than a carry from midfield.
While these historical rates aren't necessarily the same thing as predictive probabilities, they are usually quite close over a decent sample. The following table lists a bird’s-eye view of the touchdown rates for all running back opportunities (carries and targets) over the last 10 seasons, with field positions aggregated for simplicity.

Investors naturally want simplicity. But in a world of rising inflation, geopolitical turmoil, and a stock market fueled by pandemic-era liquidity, **** et allocation and time allocation are more closely linked than ever.
Unlike our parents, who relied on defined pensions and stable social security, today's investors face structural headwinds. Furthermore, economic pressures on our children have created financial interdependencies. Nearly 40% of workers have taken loans or withdrawals from retirement accounts. This means time horizons for many are actively shortening.

Davante Adams posted the lowest completion percentage of his 12-year NFL career in 2025, at 52.6%. What caused that?
Some of the problem was he and Matthew Stafford not completely gelling, but, most notable to me, it was simply Adams not completing the catch. At 33 years old, was Father Time tapping him on the shoulder? According to a study by Dwain McFarland, it could be the case.
"To appropriately understand the magnitude of age in the WR performance equation, I decided to divide production at each age (20 to 40) by their prime production. Prime production equals the average fantasy points per game for a player's best three-year stretch in their career, and player ages were rounded based on their age on Week 1 for each season.
After compiling that data across every season where a WR had at least 200 routes from 2011 to 2023, we get a clear picture of when WRs are at their peak and when they begin to decline. For the sake of simplicity, buckets were created for age groups based on performance."

This is an AI hyper-growth chapter for Broadcom. The company supplies custom AI accelerators and networking chips to a core group of customers, including Google.
This explosive demand is creating mix-driven margin pressure on the business. In response, management is guiding for lower consolidated gross margins ahead as the lower-margin AI hardware segment accelerates.
Is the market pricing in that story reasonably at 79.5x trailing earnings?

The best-looking Fords ever produced

Ford has been a dab hand at building everyday cars to appeal to keen drivers, and it’s also made more than its fair share of cars with good looks.
Ford has been a dab hand at building everyday cars to appeal to keen drivers, and it’s also made more than its fair share of cars with good looks.
Here’s our pick of the best-looking Ford models from around the world, arranged in chronological order. And please note we use the phrase ‘best-looking’ and not ‘most beautiful’; here we’re talking about cars that we reckoned that looked great considering the duty the car in question had to do. Many designers can make a low-slung coupe look great – but it’s rather harder for a SUV or family runabout. Climb aboard:
The utilitarian simplicity of the Ford Model T that went on sale in 1908 barely changed throughout the car’s long life. Its clean lines established the general layout and style of most cars to come for the next three decades with flowing wings, prominent radiator, and the engine at the front.
Loathe to spend money on unnecessary development, Ford kept the Model T as basic as it could get away with. As a result, the price came actually down during its production life and it helped Ford produce more than 15 million by the time the last T rolled off the line in 1927.

Bango targets AI and productivity subscription growth - ICYMI

Bango PLC (AIM:BGO, OTCQX:BGOPF) CEO Paul Larbey talked with Proactive about the company’s new partnership with LinkedIn and how the agreement strengthens Bango’s growing subscription bundling ecosystem. Larbey explained that LinkedIn is “one of those really recognized, most trusted brands” and said adding the platform expands Bango’s reach into professional productivity and career development services.
During the interview, Larbey discussed how the Bango Digital Vending Machine enables subscription providers to connect with a global network of distribution partners through a single integration. He said the platform allows companies such as LinkedIn to rapidly scale access to new customers through telcos, retailers and banks without requiring multiple technical integrations.
The discussion also focused on changing consumer behaviour in the subscription economy. Larbey noted that while consumers continue to spend heavily on subscriptions, they increasingly want simplicity, flexibility and value. He explained that bundled subscription offers are becoming more personalised and can combine entertainment, productivity, AI tools, retail services and food delivery into tailored packages for different customer groups.
Larbey highlighted AI tools as a major growth area for Bango and said the LinkedIn partnership reflects the continued expansion of subscription bundling into new sectors beyond entertainment and streaming.
He told Proactive: “Ultimately, we're here to be the place where people subscribe.”
