An arrest has been made in the death of a former Nickelodeon star killed in a gruesome hit-and-run car crash in New York City.
On Tuesday (Sept. 29), authorities announced that Michael Griffiths has been indicted in connection with the death of Kianna Underwood, who was slain in January after being struck and run over by a vehicle while crossing a Brooklyn intersection.
Griffiths, 72, was taken into custody and hit with multiple charges, including leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. However, Griffith, who lives a short distance from the site of the crash, claims he is not at fault for the 33-year-old's death.
According to reports, on Jan. 16, Underwood was crossing the street against a red light at the intersection of Pitkin Avenue and Mother Gaston Boulevard in Brownsville when she was initially struck by Griffiths, who was driving a black 2021 Ford Explorer SUV.
After the first collision, Underwood was run over by a second vehicle, identified as a black sedan, heading west on Pitkin Avenue, with the victim being dragged for two blocks before her body became dislodged on Pitkin Avenue, near Osborne Street. While Griffiths claims to have gotten out of his vehicle in an attempt to flag down the second driver and tend to the victim, he's accused of fleeing before police arrived on the scene.

Baseball's best team is going to see a lot of the San Francisco Giants during these final days of the regular season. Given that it's a brave new world around here, we'll make sure all of them get a proper introduction.
The Los Angeles Dodgers couldn't possibly know much about Jonah **** , Turner Hill, Shay Whitcomb, Drew Cavanaugh, Trent Harris - there, that covers about half the group. The defending champs are too busy trying to figure out their postseason plans, and it's a lot more complicated than you may think.
The Dodgers without Shohei Ohtani? Unthinkable.
Resting uncomfortably on the injured list, felled by a sore left knee and right arm, Ohtani won't be in uniform for the Giants' three-game series that begins Friday at Dodger Stadium. When the two teams close out the season at Oracle Park on Sept. 25-27, he will have been eligible for only two prior games, against San Diego at home.
Until recently, the Dodgers tried to shake off Ohtani's aches and pains. This is the greatest talent in the history of baseball, a man who looks **** near indestructible at times. He rises above everyone, godlike, as he lodges a three-run homer alongside a pitching masterpiece.

Prince George had a milestone day on September 8—his first day at Eton College, which marks a new chapter for the future king.
George, 13, follows in the footsteps of his father Prince William, his uncle Prince Harry, and 20 U.K. prime ministers, all of whom attended the prestigious all-boys school.
George will board at Eton just like the other first-year students, but fortunately Eton is near Forest Lodge, where the Wales family call home.
Today marks a milestone day in Prince George's life—his first day at Eton College, and the beginning of a new chapter for the future king.

Prince George, who turned 13 in July, is hitting a new milestone in September.
Kensington Palace confirmed that he would be starting school at Eton College come the fall semester. He is following in the footsteps of his father, Prince William, and uncle, Prince Harry, who also attended the prestigious boarding school.
Eton College houses about 1,350 students across 25 boarding houses, and each boy has his own room, per their website. Since its founding in 1440, the school has educated 20 British prime ministers, cultural figures and generations of royals.
The school is also close to William and Kate Middleton's family home, about a 15-minute drive from Forest Lodge in Windsor.
As a student, Prince William often walked to Windsor Castle on Sundays to have lunch with Queen Elizabeth. Now, George will become the next future king to join the royal tradition at Eton.

"This is a case about swinging ****** s," wrote Judge Lawrence VanDyke of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in March. "You may think that swinging ****** s shouldn't appear in a judicial opinion. You're not wrong. But as much as you might understandably be shocked and displeased to merely encounter that phrase in this opinion, I hope we all can agree that it is far more jarring for the unsuspecting and exposed women at Olympus Spa—some as young as thirteen—to be visually ****** aulted by the real thing."
VanDyke was dissenting from the 9th Circuit's decision not to revisit Olympus v. Armstrong, a case that saw an all-female Korean spa sue on First Amendment grounds. The business, according to the Washington State Human Rights Commission (WSHRC), had broken the law when it declined to accept a preoperative transgender woman. This was a problem for Olympus Spa, which requires nudity in its pool area, and whose business model, relatedly, hinges on catering to a single-sex clientele.
In ruling against the business last year, the 9th Circuit acknowledged the thorniness of the case. "We are not unmindful of the concerns and beliefs raised by the Spa," wrote Judge M. Margaret McKeown. "Indeed, the Spa may have other avenues to challenge the enforcement action. But whatever recourse it may have, that relief cannot come from the First Amendment."
Olympus Spa is now taking its case to the Supreme Court. McKeown and VanDyke, whose vulgar approach elicited a rebuke from 27 of his colleagues, may appear irreconcilably at odds. In some sense, they are. Yet the rival sensibilities also help paint a more complete picture of a complicated case, one that naturally provokes strong reactions but for which there may be no immediately satisfying answer under the Constitution.
The ordeal traces back to 2020. Haven Wilvich, who has identified as a "nonbinary trans woman," lodged a complaint with the WSHRC after being turned away from the Olympus Spa location in Lynnwood, Washington, for having a ****** . (The spa says it accepts postoperative transgender women.) The Washington State Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) bars discrimination based on many characteristics, including ****** ual orientation, which the state defines as encompassing "heterosexuality, ****** ****** uality, bisexuality, and gender expression or identity."

Fifa has accused Uefa of a "smear campaign against it and its leadership" over president Gianni Infantino's scrapped plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors.
Last week European football's governing body filed legal papers in the US requesting disclosure of evidence and documents from Fifa as part of potential criminal claims in Switzerland.
In a dramatic escalation of the controversy, Uefa accused Infantino of "criminal mismanagement" and "a fraudulently off-market price promoted by [him] for his own benefit" over the now-shelved Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) scheme.
However, world governing body Fifa has now responded with a court filing lodged in the US - and seen by the BBC - requesting that a court "oppose" the application by the end of the month.
Fifa said it had "made clear" that the creation of FFE was "only a proposal", adding that it could have only proceeded on the condition that the majority of member ****** ociations supported it and "the relevant approvals of the Fifa Council".

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly declined a major accommodation offer from Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer. For those unversed, as per multiple reports, the Sussexes flew privately from California to Birmingham on August 26. Harry and Meghan are reportedly staying in a private, non-royal home while retaining their Montecito and Portugal homes.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly refused accommodation offered by Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer. As per Rob Shuter's sources, Spencer proposed to the Sussexes the possibility of using The Falconry. Notably, it is the iconic 17th-century lodge on the Spencer family's Althorp Estate in Northamptonshire. However, Harry and Meghan reportedly rejected the offer from Spencer as it was too remote and not grand enough for their liking.
The source dished: "Harry was genuinely moved because Althorp will always be sacred ground to him. But Meghan took one look at the reality and knew it wouldn't work. Too remote, too far from London and, frankly, not nearly grand enough."
The source further explained that the ***** ss of Sussex has grand ambitions attached to her UK comeback and the house reportedly does not fit into the grand scheme of things.
An insider explained: "Meghan isn't moving back to Britain to hide away in an old lodge in Northamptonshire. She wants privacy, history and security — but she also expects serious luxury, substantial ***** e and easy access to London. This wasn't even close."

Meghan Markle reportedly rejected a royal home offered by Prince Harry's uncle, Charles Spencer, claiming it was "not nearly grand enough." The Duke and ***** ss of Sussex returned to Britain for an extended stay on August 26. Their children, Archie and Lilibet, are also expected to start school in the UK soon. As of now, the Sussexes are reportedly staying in the Cotswolds. However, their permanent home has not yet been finalized. While Spencer offered them his "old lodge home," Markle reportedly felt that it was not luxurious enough for their needs.
Meghan Markle reportedly rejected a home offered by Prince Harry's uncle, Charles Spencer, following their return to the UK. Reports suggest that the couple is currently staying at a friend's mansion in the Cotswolds. However, they are still looking for a permanent home as they plan to spend more time in the UK.
Earlier, there were reports saying that Harry and Markle wanted nine bedrooms, a film studio, and plenty of private land for their UK residence. Amid this, a new report by Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice suggests that the couple were offered the chance to reside at The Falconry, an early 17th-century lodge located at the back of the deer park on the Althorp estate in Northamptonshire. Spencer used it as his home before inheriting the main house in 1992.
While Harry was reportedly deeply moved by the offer, as Althorp is "sacred ground" to him, Markle allegedly refused. A source claimed that she felt the property was "too remote, too far from London and, frankly, not nearly grand enough."
The insider explained that Markle wants privacy and security. But at the same time, she also expects "serious luxury, substantial ***** e and easy access to London." The source added, "Meghan isn't moving back to Britain to hide away in an old lodge in Northamptonshire." Hence, because the property reportedly did not meet her requirements, she rejected the offer.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's move back to the U.K. was a big decision, so finding a perfect place to settle down is key.
According to a Wednesday, September 2, report in journalist Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack, Princess Diana's younger brother, Charles Spencer, offered the Sussexes the possibility of living at the Spencer family's Althorp Estate in Northamptonshire.
However, the former Suits star apparently wasn't too keen on the idea.
"Meghan took one look at the reality and knew it wouldn't work," a Naughty But Nice source claimed. "Too remote, too far from London and, frankly, not nearly grand enough."
According to the Substack, Harry's uncle, 62, offered up The Falconry, a 17th-century lodge on his family's historic grounds that was reportedly built in the early 1600s.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's big return to the UK means the press around them is more alive than ever. It's always been made up of contradictory reports from different camps, and that still seems to be the case. Anyone interested in the couple will have to dig through two contrasting narratives to figure out the truth.
Let's take their new living situation, for example. There's been no official announcement about where the Duke and ****** ss of Sussex will be living while in the UK, but royal insider Rob Shuter reported that Harry's uncle, Charles Spencer, offered them The Falconry, a 17th-century lodge on the Spencer family's Althorp Estate in Northamptonshire.

Runners of the 44th Annual Hood to Coast relay race descended on Seaside beach early Saturday morning.
Dubbed the "Mother of all Relays," the Providence Hood to Coast Relay finished on Seaside Beach starting early Saturday morning on Aug. 29.
The two-day race traditionally has about 20,000 runners and walkers participating in two events: Hood to Coast Relay and Portland to Coast Walk Relay. They start out on Friday and include participants from all 50 states and over 40 countries.
The Hood to Coast and Portland to Coast relay teams consist of 12 participants per team who take turns, running or walking. For the Hood to Coast runners, that's a total of 199 miles from Timberline Lodge in Mt. Hood to Seaside's beach. For those in the Portland to Coast Walk Relay, the race is a little shorter at 128 miles. Regardless of whether running or walking, the races are not intended to be a competition. They are more for a fun day of running or walking with friends and family members for a good cause.
Since 2014, the Providence Cancer Institute has been the primary beneficiary of Hood to Coast and Portland to Coast fundraising. Throughout that time, participants and volunteers have raised over $9.4 million with 100% of the funds used to support cancer research, treatment and support services in Oregon.

Sri Lanka batter Sonal Dinusha emerged as one of the biggest positives from the drawn two-Test series against India, producing a remarkable display of resilience and consistency to thwart the visitors' hopes of a series clean sweep.
Dinusha scored three centuries across his four innings in the series, finishing as the leading run-scorer with 420 runs at an average of 140.00. He also faced 722 deliveries, the most by any batter in the series, underlining the patience and endurance that made him such a difficult player for India to dislodge.
His performance has now earned high praise from former India Test batter Cheteshwar Pujara, who believes the young Sri Lankan has shown glimpses of two of the country's greatest modern-day batters, ****** ar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene.
"The way he has batted throughout the series has been phenomenal. He takes me into that era of batters like ****** ar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene. When I was growing up, I used to look up to those Sri Lankan players," Pujara said in a video on ESPNcricinfo.
Pujara believes Dinusha has the potential to become one of Sri Lanka's leading batters in the years to come.
"In five to 10 years, Sonal Dinusha can be one of the greats of Sri Lankan cricket. He has shown that potential. The way he batted on the last day of the second Test match, it was a commendable effort," he added.
Dinusha's finest contribution came in the second Test at Colombo, where his unbeaten 133 off 264 ****** ensured Sri Lanka held India to a draw and denied the visitors a series clean sweep.
Coming to the match, India opted to bat first, with centuries from Padikkal (117 in 193 ****** , with 12 fours), Dhruv Jurel (115* in 177 ****** , with nine fours and two sixes) and half-centuries from Rishabh Pant (63 in 89 ****** , with six fours and two sixes) and skipper Gill (50 in 108 ****** , with six fours) taking India to 503/9, with Asitha Fernando taking four-fer.
In their first innings, SL was skittled out for 290, with Dinusha's second century (103 in 162 ****** , with eight fours and three sixes) and a fine 80 from Pasindu Sooriyabandara (in 133 ****** , with nine fours) standing out. Prasidh Krishna and Suthar were among the wickets for India with three each.
During the follow-on, India had SL down for 218/6, but a 112-run stand between Dinusha and Keshara Nuwantha (46 in 150 ****** , with four boundaries) pushed Sri Lanka towards a sizeable lead. Dinusha (133* in 264 ****** , with eight fours and two sixes) reached his third ton of the series, with the resistance from lower order, who soaked in deliveries to support him. SL ended at 429/9, drawing the Test.

In their first innings, SL was skittled out for 290, with Dinusha's second century (103 in 162 ****** , with eight fours and three sixes) and a fine 80 from Pasindu Sooriyabandara (in 133 ****** , with nine fours) standing out. Prasidh Krishna and Suthar were among the wickets for India with three each.
During the follow-on, India had SL down for 218/6, but a 112-run stand between Dinusha and Keshara Nuwantha (46 in 150 ****** , with four boundaries) pushed Sri Lanka towards a sizeable lead. Dinusha (133* in 264 ****** , with eight fours and two sixes) reached his third ton of the series, with the resistance from lower order, who soaked in deliveries to support him. SL ended at 429/9, drawing the Test.

The Western Australian (WA) Government and the Yindjibarndi Ngurra Aboriginal Corporation (YNAC) have lodged separate appeals against a Federal Court ruling that required Fortescue Metals Group to pay $107.9m (A$150.3m) in compensation.
The payment relates to iron ore mining activities on Yindjibarndi land carried out without a native **** le agreement.
The judgement, delivered in May, is regarded as one of the largest under Australia's native **** le laws, encompassing A$150m for cultural loss, A$150,000 for economic loss and additional interest.
The YNAC has confirmed its appeal seeks a higher compensation amount.
CEO Michael Woodley said the group is contesting the court's use of a pastoral-based freehold value and its rejection of a royalty-based compensation model.

Ex-Prince Andrew seemed to be unhappy with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's return to the UK. According to a source, he thinks that the Sussexes are getting something he never did. It was said that the former Duke of York is reportedly irked over King Charles welcoming his son and daughter-in-law back. For those unversed, Harry and Markle have returned to Britain; however, they are still non-working royals.
Ex-Prince Andrew has reportedly been annoyed by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's return to the UK. A source told the National Examiner that the 66-year-old seemed to be sulking over getting different treatment. He allegedly compared himself being "punished and banished" to the Sussexes getting another chance to mend fences.
For those unversed, King Charles stripped his younger brother of royal **** les for his scandalous past. The controversies around Andrew didn't die down; hence, he was reportedly "banished" to the Sandringham estate. He had to leave his forever home, Royal Lodge, as per the monarch's order.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan left the UK and stepped down as working royals in 2020. While building a new life in California, they gave interviews and published memoirs slamming the royal family. However, the Duke of Sussex extended an olive branch to his father last year. After the Sussexes' reunion with Charles in July, the family of four moved to the UK from California on August 26.
This change in relationship dynamics didn't reportedly sit well with Andrew. "[He] doesn't understand how they can be forgiven for saying these terrible things about the family so publicly. And yet here he is, excluded and blocked when he's never once set out to harm the family the way they've done."

Two US-based holders of Aston Martin bonds have asked a New York court to authorise evidence-gathering ahead of a UK legal claim against the carmaker's debt restructuring.
According to Bloomberg, Arini Capital Management and Tresidor Investment Management lodged the application with the Southern District of New York.
The filing asks the court to compel BlackRock-owned HPS Investment Partners, the UK arm of Authentic Brands Group, and advisers Moelis & Co and Lazard to produce documents and give testimony.
Pallas Partners, representing the bondholders, plans to use the evidence in a UK claim now being drafted against the deal.
At issue is the arrangement between Aston Martin, HPS and Authentic Brands that raised £450m in debt – an arrangement the bondholders say left existing creditors worse off.

Jade Gas has lodged a plan for development of operations (PDO) for its Tavan Tolgoi Coal Bed Methane (TTCBM) project with Mongolia's regulator and agreed a proposed 502km² production licence area.
The plan for the coal bed methane project has been submitted to the Mongolian Minerals Reserve Council for approval. It sets out a framework for drilling, dewatering, gas production and long-term management of field operations.
Jade Gas said approval of the PDO would be a regulatory milestone towards securing the long-term production rights required to commercially develop the project.
In parallel, the company agreed the proposed production licence area with the Mongolian regulator. The 502km² area is roughly 80% of the existing 629km² exploration area.
The proposed area covers the Red Lake development, which contains Jade Gas' maiden coal bed methane reserves and is the initial focus of development activities.

NEW YORK (AP) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. passed his final concussion tests and the Toronto Blue Jays slugger is expected to return from the seven-day injured list on Saturday.
Guerrero returned to the team on Friday and took swings in the batting cage after doubling during a minor league rehabilitation game for Single-A Dunedin on Thursday.
"He felt good," manager John Schneider said before the Blue Jays opened a three-game series with the Yankees. "Even before he left to play in Clearwater, he was feeling good. He feels pretty normal, so that's a good thing."
Guerrero left a 3-1 win in Toronto over the Yankees last Friday after a collision with New York rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. on a bizarre play at third base in the sixth inning.
The six-time All-Star was injured when he slid at third base and had Lombard's knee and thigh strike his head. The play caused Guerrero's helmet to get dislodged, though the first baseman scored the tying run before exiting.

Former Prince Andrew has had scandal after scandal, and it was only recently that he was stripped of his ******* le and ordered to vacate his home at Royal Lodge. So, what changed? His close ties to Jeffrey Epstein were widely known for years, and the British royal family never took a firm stance with him. If anything, they're guilty of letting him get away with too much for too long.
According to RadarOnline, what changed was Kate Middleton. The outlet pointed to her and Queen Camilla as the key figures in Andrew's "downfall" and his ban from Sandringham. The disgraced ex-prince is currently under investigation for suspicion of misconduct in public office and ******* crimes.

Yesterday's 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund marked the official end of Roma's pre-season, a period filled with the usual highs, lows, hyperbole, and overreactions we see every August. While the Giallorossi looked much sharper in Dortmund than at any point during the summer schedule, there was still a noticeable lack of pace on the left side of the attack, a wrinkle they haven't been able to smooth out for several years.
Since Sunday is typically a day of rest, we'll spare you the trauma of recounting Roma's many failures in this department over the past few years. Instead, we'll focus on a relatively new name in the Giallorossi transfer web: Lyon left-winger Malick Fofana. A 21-year-old winger, Fofana began his professional career with Gent in his native Belgium before signing with Lyon on a €19.5 million transfer in January 2024.
In his first 18 months with the club, Fofana scored 15 goals and provided five ******* ists in roughly 1,000 minutes across all competitions, an impressive start for an 18- or 19-year-old making the jump to Ligue 1. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to build on that success last season after missing nearly six months due to ankle surgery. Still, during his brief time on the pitch last season, Fofana managed two goals and an ******* ist in 749 league minutes.
Despite the injuries, Fofana has the necessary pace and trickery to take flight under Gasperini. The problem, as you're no doubt aware, is cost and competition. According to Nicolo Schira, Roma have lodged an official €40 million bid for the Belgian international but face a stiff challenge from Galatasaray, which can offer Fofana a higher salary.
With opening day only a week away, the time for delays has long since passed. Whether it's Fofana, Rodrigo Mora, or a mysterious dark horse candidate, Roma's attack needs an injection of speed and creativity.

Abishek Porel, the Delhi Capitals and Bengal cricketer, has been denied bail in an alleged rape case involving a medical student. A court on Friday sent him to judicial custody for 14 days.
Porel was arrested on August 11 in Hooghly after being questioned over a complaint filed by a young woman, who accused him of rape, blackmail and other offences. He was later medically examined before being produced before the Chinsurah court.
"There was a case lodged against him and a court order to arrest him. He was arrested late last night. He will be produced in court today," Hooghly (Rural) Superintendent of Police Kunar Bhushan Singh told PTI.
According to the complaint, the woman said Porel entered into a relationship with her after promising to marry her. She alleged that after their relationship ended, he threatened to share private photographs of her. Police registered a case under 19 sections, with most of the charges being non-bailable.
The complaint also refers to an alleged incident in Delhi on April 2, 2026. The woman claimed she was confined, not given food and deliberately kept isolated, leaving her physically weak and unable to walk properly.
She further alleged that both families had discussed marriage, but the relationship later deteriorated after she allegedly found out about Porel's involvement with other women.
The case had previously reached the Calcutta High Court. Justice Saugata Bhattacharyya directed Magra Police Station to seize electronic devices, including Porel's mobile phone, and submit an investigation report.
At the August 11 hearing, police told the court that Porel had been arrested and would be produced before the Chinsurah court. The cricketer has now been denied bail and remanded to judicial custody for 14 days while the case proceeds.

CHICAGO (AP) — About 213,500 "Goody King" magnetic building toys were recalled in the U.S. on Thursday, due to an ingestion hazard posed that has resulted in at least two children receiving surgeries.
According to a notice published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, these toys' building cubes can break or open, allowing the magnets inside to become loose. That poses a serious ingestion hazard for children.
When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other or other metal and become lodged in the digestive system, the CPSC warns — which can potentially lead to "perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death."
To date, Goody King seller Yi Suen Commerce is aware of two children who ingested magnets from these toys and needed surgery to remove them. The Hong Kong-based company is also aware of at least 27 reports of the cubes breaking or opening.
Consumers in possession of the now-recalled magnetic toys are urged to stop using them immediately and contact Yi Suen Commerce for a full refund. Affected model numbers and more information can be found both on the CPSC's notice and Goody King's recall website.

A potential new destination has emerged for former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, whose time at AS Monaco has come to an end.
A recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Monaco have made the decision to terminate Pogba's contract after he sustained a fresh injury setback.
Pogba has endured an extremely challenging time since departing United as a free agent in the summer of 2022. His time at Juventus came to an abrupt end when his contract was terminated, following a second stint marred by fitness issues and inconsistent performances.
He was then handed a four-year suspension following a positive test for a prohibited substance, though that ban was subsequently cut to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after the player lodged a successful appeal.

Day 12 of Cleveland Browns training camp took place Tuesday, August 11. The quarterback battle continued on, with everyone looking more comfortable as practices go on.
1. I Guess There Was Never Much Doubt: One of the biggest positions of debate heading into training camp was the offensive line, specifically from center to right tackle. However, it hasn't ended up being much to debate. Elgton Jenkins has been exclusively at center, and Tytus Howard has stuck to right tackle. Today, head coach Todd Monken indicated that right guard is the only spot still in competition, and that the veteran Teven Jenkins has the upper hand.
2. As for the Backups: One depth chart change caught the eye of the media today: Austin Barber was at left tackle on the second unit, while Dawand Jones was at right tackle.
3. Drill of the Day: Here is a fun drill where the defensive line pass rushes around the edge, but then works back toward a screen to try to dislodge it.
4. Early Interception: QB Deshaun Watson was first up as the quarterback today, and early on, he overthrew a pass that was picked off by CB Tyron Herring.

Synopsys (NASDAQ:SNPS) just handed AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) a new way to design chips: let AI agents do more of the work. On July 27, Synopsys unveiled autonomous agentic AI workflows built with Microsoft and already being evaluated by AMD, aimed at cutting the time it takes to turn a chip specification into working silicon. The announcement lands as investors weigh whether Synopsys deserves its premium for owning so much of the AI buildout's tooling.
Synopsys introduced two autonomous workflows at the DAC Chips to Systems Conference, developed with Microsoft and available for evaluation on Microsoft Discovery. One handles debug closure, using domain-specific and task-level agents to find design failures and speed up validation, with early evaluations showing a 25% to 40% reduction in debug cycle time. The other automates implementation and closure work on Synopsys' Fusion Compiler on Azure, with early results pointing to improved quality of results. AMD is actively evaluating these workflows for its next-generation products.
That traction fits a broader pattern. Synopsys already counts Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) as both a customer and an investor, after Nvidia expanded its partnership with a $2 billion investment. Synopsys' design software and intellectual property make it hard for rivals to dislodge once a chipmaker builds a project around its tools, and that stickiness showed up in the numbers: fiscal 2026 second quarter revenue grew 42% year-over-year, prompting the company to raise its full-year guidance.
Despite that growth, Synopsys shares had fallen 12% year to date as of July 16, a gap one **** ysis called jarring given the company's market share gains. Part of the explanation sits inside the Ansys deal: Synopsys paid $35 billion for it, and the resulting amortization costs have kept margins tight, with relief only expected once those costs wind down. Stock-based compensation made up roughly 58.8% of Synopsys' operating cash flow in fiscal 2025, meaning a large share of its reported free cash flow, about $1.3 billion for the year, comes from a non-cash add-back rather than actual cash generation.
There are also risks outside the balance sheet. Synopsys is managing multiple class action lawsuits alleging misstatements about its intellectual property segment, and a settlement with Elliott Investment Management could still push the company toward strategic changes.

The Prince and Princess of Wales moved into their 'forever home', Forest Lodge, in November 2025, with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Similarly to many other UK households, the family will be struggling to keep their garden thriving due to the extreme heatwaves and imposed hosepipe ban.
They undoubtedly have a gardening team on hand to work on their outdoor ****** e, but they too will be banned from using any hosepipes to water the lawn, hedges and flowers.
However, if when the family moved in they planted new trees, these could be excluded from the ban. As "trees planted within the last three years" are permitted to be watered with a hosepipe, according to the Thames Water website.

Many parts of the UK are facing a hosepipe ban due to the unprecedented dry weather during the summer months. The UK has seen record temperatures and a significant lack of rainfall, causing droughts.

This game had an eventful first inning that saw the Mets plate five on Bryce Elder and the Braves, and then a valiant-but-doomed comeback attempt over the rest of the game. The main things that stood out to me: Bryce Elder with poor command is a nightmare, and the Braves really needed some homers in this one but couldn't find 'em. Will the Phillies gain a game on the Braves by the time I finish this recap? Who knows.
Boy, that first inning, though. The game started with an A.J. Ewing double off Elder. The ball rolled under the padding in right field, and Ronald Acuña Jr. threw up his hands to signal a ground rule double. Ewing stopped running midway between second and third. For some reason, the Mets challenged the call, and this resulted in something absurd like an eight-minute delay of game… only for the umpires to rule that while the ball was not "lodged," Ewing would nonetheless be "awarded" second base. Pace of play, am I right?
Anyway, would that that was the only excitement in the first, but alas. A single later scored Ewing, and then a key play happened on a 3-2 Elder pitch to Carson Benge. The pitch was clearly a strike, but Sean Murphy came up throwing and had the runner dead to rights… except that it was ruled a ball and Murphy didn't challenge, turning a 1-0 deficit and a half-inning break into a 1-0 deficit, runners on first and second, and one out. After a short liner single to load the bases, Elder got a punchout… and then hung a first-pitch slider to Brett Baty, who slammed it for a grand… slam. The Mets actually collected two more hits before Elder finished the frame, but the score remained 5-0.
Then, the Braves mounted a rally of their own against Christian Scott. Unfortunately, their rally didn't have a homer, so it wasn't as productive. Drake Baldwin led off with a double, Matt Olson later singled, and Ozzie Albies had a crazy 11-pitch plate appearance that ended with a 3-2 pitch barely clipping his uniform to load the bases. Mauricio Dubon then came through with a seeing-eye bouncer that plated two. Austin Riley ended the rally by watching two of three pitches in the zone (and fouling off the second). Oops.
The Mets continued tearing into Elder and the Braves' defense. Francisco Lindor, whose small-sample lifetime stats against Elder are murderous, led off the second with a double, and then scored on a two-out bloop. Another single and a walk loaded the bases, but the frame ended at 6-2. Sean Murphy collected a one-out double in the bottom of the inning, but was left stranded. Lindor then tagged Elder for a two-out solo homer in the third, and yeah, that's kind of how this one was developing for a while.

Boy, that first inning, though. The game started with an A.J. Ewing double off Elder. The ball rolled under the padding in right field, and Ronald Acuña Jr. threw up his hands to signal a ground rule double. Ewing stopped running midway between second and third. For some reason, the Mets challenged the call, and this resulted in something absurd like an eight-minute delay of game… only for the umpires to rule that while the ball was not "lodged," Ewing would nonetheless be "awarded" second base. Pace of play, am I right?
Anyway, would that that was the only excitement in the first, but alas. A single later scored Ewing, and then a key play happened on a 3-2 Elder pitch to Carson Benge. The pitch was clearly a strike, but Sean Murphy came up throwing and had the runner dead to rights… except that it was ruled a ball and Murphy didn't challenge, turning a 1-0 deficit and a half-inning break into a 1-0 deficit, runners on first and second, and one out. After a short liner single to load the bases, Elder got a punchout… and then hung a first-pitch slider to Brett Baty, who slammed it for a grand… slam. The Mets actually collected two more hits before Elder finished the frame, but the score remained 5-0.
Then, the Braves mounted a rally of their own against Christian Scott. Unfortunately, their rally didn't have a homer, so it wasn't as productive. Drake Baldwin led off with a double, Matt Olson later singled, and Ozzie Albies had a crazy 11-pitch plate appearance that ended with a 3-2 pitch barely clipping his uniform to load the bases. Mauricio Dubon then came through with a seeing-eye bouncer that plated two. Austin Riley ended the rally by watching two of three pitches in the zone (and fouling off the second). Oops.
