Morgan Stanley met privately with Gilead Sciences (GILD) leadership at its 2026 Global Healthcare Conference this month, and the feedback strengthened the bank's positive view on the stock.
Morgan Stanley's biopharma team hosted a meeting and a management dinner with Gilead Chairman and CEO Daniel O'Day and Chief Commercial and Corporate Affairs Officer Johanna Mercier. According to a Morgan Stanley research note shared with me, the discussion reinforced its Overweight rating on Gilead and singled out one franchise as the biggest reason to stay positive.
Gilead trades around $150.89, up about 24% year to date and roughly 111% over five years. That kind of run in a biotech stock usually needs a catalyst, and Morgan Stanley points to HIV prevention. The bigger question for investors now is whether the new HIV prevention business built around Yeztugo can keep growing at the pace of the last few quarters.
Terence Flynn, a Morgan Stanley equity **** yst who covers Gilead and other healthcare stocks has held an Overweight rating on the stock since January 2025.
According to the note, Gilead management described the company as being at "an important inflection point, supported by what it views as the most robust portfolio in the company's history," with no patent expiring until 2036.

About 13 years ago, “American Idol” contestant Caleb Flynn gushed about his wife Ashley, who he said encouraged him to audition for the 12th season of ABC’s singing competition.
“I love my wife more than anything,” he said in an interview during his brief stint on the show. “She’s very, very pretty, just – woof, I love her.”
Now, Flynn stands trial for her murder, as investigators allege the former music pastor fatally shot his wife of almost 16 years and staged the crime scene to make it appear she was killed by an intruder.
Flynn, 40, was arrested in February, days after he frantically called 911 to report someone broke into their Tipp City, Ohio, home and killed his wife – a beloved middle school volleyball coach – while he was in their daughters’ bedroom.
“We’re looking forward to trying the case,” his defense attorney, Patrick Mulligan, told CNN Tuesday. “We’ve been waiting for this.”

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles is "cancer free," she announced on X on Sept. 16, 2026. "Some personal news I'm grateful to share. After a medical appointment at the Mayo Clinic this week, my pathology results came back clear," she explained.

Wiles was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in March and told the New York Times that her prognosis was "strong." Wiles did not disclose at the time what treatment she would undergo, but said it would last several weeks — during which time she planned to continue working. Noting that one in eight American women develops breast cancer at some point in their lives, Wiles posted on X at the time: "Every day, these women continue to raise their families, go to work and serve their communities with strength and determination. I now join their ranks."
A breast cancer diagnosis is life-altering, but Wiles's comments highlighted the progress that's been made in recent years. Breast cancer is now detected at Stage 0 or 1 — before it has spread — in the majority of cases. Survival rates have risen dramatically, but "the treatments we use to treat early-stage breast cancer have become more tailored" and less disruptive to women's lives, Dr. Lynn Dengel, a University of Virginia surgical oncologist, told Yahoo in March.
"Because [Wiles] was taking care of her health [and getting screened], not only will her prognosis be better, but it will probably minimize what treatment she has to go through and will benefit her work-life and overall balance," Dengel said. She added that most of her patients are diagnosed early and can continue to work while undergoing breast cancer treatment, reducing the financial burden and overall disruption to their lives.
Wiles was diagnosed at age 68 — slightly older than the median age (62) when most women learn they have breast cancer. More than 380,000 American women are diagnosed with some form of breast cancer each year, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS).
Breast cancer remains the most common form of cancer among women in the U.S., except for skin cancers. And rates are rising. But there's good news: More women are surviving the disease. Treatments have also improved, becoming tolerable enough that many women still work, as Wiles intends to do. Here's what to know about the disease, why rates are rising and how women can reduce their risks.

Princess Charlotte has revealed a new sporting passion, and it has a surprisingly strong connection to her royal family history. The 11-year-old princess has been seen showing off her cricket skills in family footage released by the Prince and Princess of Wales, drawing attention to a sport that was once a favorite of her great-grandfather, Prince Philip.
Prince Louis reveals what Princess Charlotte really thinks of his surprising new skill (@ Karwai Tang)
Now cricket is also getting an upgrade at Sandringham, King Charles III's private Norfolk estate, and the location of Anmer Hall, the Prince and Princess of Wales' country home. Plans call for improvements to the estate's cricket ground, creating an intriguing link between Charlotte's newfound enthusiasm, her grandfather's royal estate, and a sporting tradition that stretches back generations.
According to an exclusive report in The Sun, the Sandringham and Dersingham Cricket Club, which has long used the cricket ground on the royal estate, is planning to install an all-weather artificial surface.
A planning application submitted to the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk details the £9,000 project, which is designed to extend playing hours and help protect the natural grass during periods of heavy rain or intensive use.

A TikTok posted by phlynnmartin recounts a date from back in August 2024 at Melbourne frozen yogurt chain Yo Chi that the creator, who goes by Phlin or Flynn, said ended with an unexpectedly large bill. The video, captioned "honestly couldn't believe it," had drawn 277,600 likes and 11,000 comments as of publication.
Phlin's date started well, with no awkward tension in the car on the way over, and he called it "loving it," saying the chemistry was there. At Yo Chi, he grabbed what he called the normal-size cup, explaining, "That's all you need. Anything else? Outrageous."
The middle cup, he said, would suggest someone was "really hungry," while the largest cup was simply "a gluttonous amount of frozen yogurt." His date grabbed the larger cup, which immediately made him worry about the bill, and he told viewers, "That could be an issue because realistically I'm probably gonna have to pay for this."
He rationed his own toppings carefully, adding items like strawberries and boba "one at a time," describing it as "the little shimmy" scoop, while his date added toppings more freely, scooping crumble, M&Ms, and an Oreo without hesitation. He said the final bill came to approximately $330, a figure he paid after being asked if the two were together.
He described his date as wolfing down her yogurt while he ate slowly and, in his words, began "dissociating" as other diners started to notice.

With the Beechwood Tigers' 41-0 win over Simon Kenton, head coach Noel Rash earned the 200th win of his career. He has a career record of 200-53.
Rash is already Beechwood's winningest head coach and will reach his 200th win with the Tigers when they earn their seventh win of the 2026 season. From 2006 to 2022, he accrued a 193-46 record and won eight state championships.

According to the KHSAA record book, Rash is the fifth Northern Kentucky coach to reach the 200 milestone, joining Bob Schneider (343 - Newport Central Catholic), Owen Hauck (258 - Highlands and Boone County), Dale Mueller (250 - Highlands) and Lynn Ray (234 - Covington Catholic).
After initially retiring following Beechwood's 2022 state championship victory, Rash spent 2023 as a special consultant to his friend Steve Specht at Cincinnati St. Xavier. He was an **** istant coach at Holmes in 2024, where he also served as the **** istant principal for two years.

After being passed over for roles because of her age, "The Drop" star Gail Bean is opening up about the ageism Black women face in Hollywood.
"Black don't crack" is one of the many phrases that pop culture has adopted to classify the graceful ways in which Black communities age. Now, while social media celebrates the ways Black women seem to age like fine wine, Hollywood seems to have a different standard when it comes to casting. During an appearance on "DMC with Na'im Lynn," "The Drop" actress Gail Bean revealed how her age has stopped her from getting roles.
"Let me tell you something. And we're not even really talking about the industry, but just to get into the industry, a deep, meaningful conversation piece that needs to happen when it comes to women and their age. I have been told this year alone for two projects that I was too old," Bean, 33, explained. "I was told I was too old to play Shantae, Snoop Dog's wife. I was told I was too old to play Storm [from X-Men]."
And while Lynn joked that Bean looks like a teenager, she explained: "They see my age online. And they're just like, 'Oh, no.' And the thing is, these are phenomenal casting directors. They do love me. They bring me in for way [more] other stuff. But, like, I was on the list literally two years ago for X-Men, for Marvel…as time passed, they're like, 'Yeah, no.'"
Bean continued, "I had such an emotional moment because it was like back-to-back within a month of being told no. And here's the thing. I'm okay with the no. It wasn't the no that hurt my feelings. It was the I'm too old that hurt my feelings."

Larry Birkhead just celebrated his and Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn Birkhead's major milestone: her 20th birthday.
On Monday, September 7, Birkhead, 53, took to Instagram with a slideshow of photos featuring his only child. "Happy 20th Birthday Dannielynn!" the doting father captioned his update, alongside red heart emojis. "Love, Dad."
For the featured image, Dannielynn posed on a stoop in an all-black outfit from Hot Topic and edgy black sunglasses. Other shots showed her with dyed red hair, as an adorable preschooler, and as a young child hugging her dad.
Larry welcomed his daughter with the late Playboy model, who died at 39 in 2007, following an accidental overdose. At the time of Anna Nicole's death, Dannielynn was just 5 months old.

Summer Lynn, an influencer from Alabama, went viral for sharing her cosmetic procedure journey on social media
She has undergone multiple surgeries, including a nose job, chin liposuction and a Brazilian ******* lift, among others
She says she shares her experiences to normalize cosmetic procedures and connect with others who feel similarly
An influencer in her 20s is giving up all the secrets behind her viral cosmetic procedures.
PEOPLE spoke exclusively with New Hope, Ala., resident Summer Lynn, who went viral in July for sharing an Instagram Reel of all her transformations with an overlay that read, "customizing my avatar because we only live 80 years."

"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."

Eight saves, many of them excellent. Good distribution. And a man of the match performance. If timing is everything, Scott Bain may just have played his way into the forefront of the new Scotland head coach's thinking.
Sebastien Pocognoli will soon be announcing his first squad for the forthcoming Nations League games.
With the retirement of Craig Gordon and the lack of recent first-team minutes for Angus Gunn and Liam Kelly - the other two World Cup squad goalkeepers - is Bain the obvious answer to Pocognoli's potential problem?
On the evidence of his display against Dundee United on Saturday - without which his side may well have been beaten given the number of chances United created - he'll be very unlucky not to be recalled to the international fold.
Unsurprisingly, Bain's manager John McGlynn was happy to sing his praises.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Angel City Football Club closed out its road trip with a 2-nil victory over Racing Louisville FC on Saturday at Lynn Family Stadium thanks to a pair of goals by Evelyn Shores.
Despite a scoreless first half, Angel City found a controlling rhythm within the opening 15 minutes and maintained it through the rest of the match. Angel City went into the break with 60% possession, seven more shots (two more on target) and 20 touches in Racing Louisville's box. ACFC created various close chances, including in the 19th minute, when Prisca Chilufya sent a right-footed shot from the center of the box, which was saved in the bottom right corner by Jordyn Bloomer.
It wasn't until the 69th minute that Angel City broke ahead. Shores sent a left-footed shot from outside the box to the bottom right corner of an ****** ist by Sarah Gorden.
The 21-year-old midfielder did not stop there. In the 90+1st minute, Shores doubled ACFC's lead with a right-footed shot from the center of the box to the bottom right corner, ****** isted by Ally Sentnor.
Saturday's performance was Shores' first career brace in the NWSL. She now has three goals on the season. It is also the second game the Los Angeles side has won on this most recent road trip. Last week, the team scored a historic 5-2 victory.

Well, it's safe to say that the new-look Nittany Lions understood the **** ignment. In Matt Campbell's first game as the head coach of the Nittany Lions, he had his squad firing on all cylinders in a commanding 45-0 win over the Marshall Thundering Herd.
Quarterback Rocco Becht looked like the most experienced QB in the FBS, and receiver Koby Howard looked like a revelation with 161 receiving yards. On the defensive side of the ball, new defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn's guys were flying, led by spirited efforts from Tony Rojas and Caleb Bacon.
Here are the players of the game for the Nittany Lions.
You remember when Rocco Becht mentioned that he would try to get Koby Howard over 1,000 receiving yards in the year? They got right to it Saturday afternoon with Howard putting on a clinic.
Penn State fans have been begging for a star receiver, and they may finally have one on their hands. With 6 catches and 161 yards, Howard was the leading receiver on the day and flashed his elite skill set, with one of his catches from redshirt freshman QB Alex Manske being one of his highlight catches on the day.

JetBlue Airways (JBLU) is heading into a more significant phase of its comeback without one of the activist investors who helped alter its board.
Carl Icahn sharply cut his JetBlue position, selling roughly 8.13 million shares for about $40.4 million between Aug. 17 and Aug. 20, regulatory filings show. The transactions reduced the Icahn Group's interest to around 3.32%, or about 12.5 million shares, from over 10% when the activist investor initially revealed his position in 2024.
That's more than some spring cleaning.
Icahn's smaller stake fell below the amount needed to retain board presence at JetBlue. Jesse Lynn and Steven Miller, directors supported by Icahn, resigned both effective Aug. 24 after the group's ownership fell below the appropriate level, the airline said in an Aug. 27 filing with the SEC.
It is interesting timing for investors. JetBlue is aiming to show that its JetForward turnaround will restore sustainable profitability after years of strategic missteps, excessive expenses, and a failed attempt to combine with Spirit Airlines.

On a night where plenty of his team-mates were panicking, Lawrence Shankland was a figure of calm for Rangers in Falkirk.
His two goals were decisive for Derek McInnes' side, earning a second Scottish Premiership win of the season days after the captain's penalty delivered the first at Pittodrie.
In an error-strewn game that lacked quality, Shankland was the difference maker.
His first whistled into the roof of the net off his weaker left foot, while his second - again on his left - was passed into the bottom corner with the game on a knife edge.
Falkirk boss John McGlynn summed up the Scotland striker's impact.

Ben Stokes is set to make his mark in the Big Bash League with the Adelaide Strikers, and coach Tim Paine believes the England all-rounder could be particularly effective if he opens the batting.

Stokes' one-year deal with the Strikers was confirmed on Tuesday, making him available for the entire BBL season. Paine believes the 35-year-old can make an impact across all three departments while also bringing his leadership experience to the side. The Strikers had Matt Short and Chris Lynn as their regular opening combination last season, but Lynn is currently off contract, meaning the pair could be split up even if he returns to the franchise.
Paine sees Stokes as an ideal candidate to take the new ball with the bat, particularly on Australia's traditionally pace-friendly and bouncy pitches.

"Stokes gives us a lot of flexibility. I think initially my chats around how we would use him would probably be opening the batting. I think he's made to open the batting in Big Bash. I think the pacy, bouncy wickets in Australia really suit him," Paine said, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.

The former Australia captain also highlighted Stokes' ability to attack all areas of the ground and change the momentum of an innings almost instantly.

"I have been on the end of a couple of these devastating innings in Test cricket where you feel like you cannot defend the field. He can play 360 degrees. He has got power. He has got some real class," he added.

Although Stokes has opened in only 16 of his 148 T20 innings, the numbers suggest he is at his most productive in that role. He averages 36.53 and has a strike rate of 138.48 as an opener. One of his two T20 centuries also came while opening, when he smashed an unbeaten 107 off 60 ****** for Rajasthan Royals in the 2020 IPL. His other T20 century came for Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017, when he scored 103 off 63 deliveries.

However, much of Stokes' T20 career has seen him bat at No. 3, 4 or 5. He has not played a T20 match since The Hundred in 2024, where he managed only four runs across three innings.

"I think he can do a terrific job opening the batting. Playing pretty normally, as we have seen in the past, he can flick a switch, and he has got amazing power. His skill level with the bat and his play of spin, he has just a well-rounded, world-class batter. We think that is probably the best fit for him and for us," Paine said.
Paine also believes Stokes could have an impact with the ball, suggesting his pace and ability to move the ball could make him a useful option in different phases of an innings.

"He is a bit quicker than people think. He has got great skill. He can swing the ball both ways. We feel like we can use him in all phases of the game with the ball as well. He will impact in the field with his athleticism and just the way he competes," he said.

Stokes has taken 352 wickets for England across international cricket, with his best figures of 6/22 highlighting his ability to produc

WYANDOTTE, OK — The Lady Bears took on Adair's Warriors at the Triple J Ranch Stadium in a sunny afternoon matchup.
Coming off a loss their last game, Wyandotte looked to make a statement win.
It would be Adair that struck first though, at one point holding a three nothing lead with hot bats early.
Wyandotte were able to compose themselves, getting some key defensive stops and eventually getting their bats going as well.
After an Adair pitching change Wyandotte would get two on the board in the second with a deep RBI shot from Malynn Wrick, and eventually tie it up with a homerun bomb from Neveah Cooper, making it 3-3.

Emily Flynn's highlight strike in the third minute put the Rams on their way to an opening victory over the visiting Huskies at Cimini Stadium in Providence on Tuesday, Sept. 1.
Flynn found the top right corner from all of 25 yards and La Salle was razor-sharp from there while playing for the first time this season as defending state champions. Mila Falcone tucked one under the crossbar in the 13th minute and Allie Scott headed home a rebound off a Falcone shot in the 35th as the Rams took complete command before the break.
Scott added her second shortly after halftime to continue what was a strong performance along the left wing for La Salle (1-0-0). Grace Keenan made a sliding left-handed save on Mt. Hope striker Sara Nencka in the 70th minute to preserve the shutout. The Huskies (0-2-0) played without All-Stater and Boston College commit Emma Goglia, who was nursing a minor injury.
Both teams scored in first half on a rain soaked evening at Augeri Field in Westerly, with the Purple's Lucy Weber striking in the first two minutes, and the Bulldogs finding the equalizer at the 30-minute mark.

Stoke City have shopped across the pond by bringing in two deadline-day signings - USA international midfielder Jack McGlynn from MLS side Houston Dynamo and young left-back Luca Bombino from San Diego, both for an undisclosed fee.
Subject to international clearance after his late-night signing, 23-year-old McGlynn, 23, who has won 13 international caps, has signed a three-year contract, which includes an option for a further season, in the club's favour.
"Jack has been a standout player in MLS in recent seasons," said Potters' sporting director Jonathan Walters.
"He is an attack-minded midfielder who adds goals and ****** ists and the ability to play in a variety of midfield roles. We believe he will go on an exciting journey with us."
Stoke had earlier in the day signed 20-year-old Bombino on a four-deal from another MLS side San Diego.

The New England Patriots ' defense under Bill Belichick was built around preparation, repetition, and making practice uncomfortable. Now, Matt Patricia is revealing how far that philosophy went. The goal was never to make practice look clean but to make game-day chaos feel familiar before players ever stepped onto an NFL field.
That meant coaches intentionally created situations they knew would happen on Sundays. Defenders were asked to grab. Offensive linemen faced simulated penalties. Pass rushers practiced against players jumping offside. Even the scout team was instructed to make life harder.

Patricia explained the unusual approach on August 28 in a discussion with Julian Edelman. The former Patriots defensive coordinator said the Patriots deliberately recreated difficult game situations during practice because players needed to experience those moments repeatedly before facing them for real.
"Defensively, there's three things that can happen on the play. You can break it up, he can catch it, or they're going to get a PI.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia prison officials plan to execute a man next month who was convicted of fatally shooting two real estate agents in Atlanta's suburbs more than two decades ago.
Stacey Humphreys, 53, was convicted of malice murder in the 2003 killings of 33-year-old Cyndi Williams and 21-year-old Lori Brown. He is set to receive a lethal injection at the state prison near Jackson at 7 p.m. on Sept. 16, according to the Department of Corrections.
Humphreys would be the first person executed in Georgia this year. The death penalty in the state has largely been tied up in litigation over an agreement related to the coronavirus pandemic that defense lawyers contend temporarily shields many death row residents from execution. The last execution in the state was in March 2024.
Humphreys was previously scheduled to die last December, but the execution was halted after his lawyers filed a petition asking a judge to order two members of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles to recuse themselves from hearing his clemency petition. Humphreys' lawyers argued that the two parole board members had conflicts of interest because they had played roles during his trial.
Kimberly McCoy, one of the board members, was a victim advocate with the Cobb County district attorney's office at the time of Humphreys' trial and was ****** igned to work with the victims in the case. The other, Wayne Bennett, was the sheriff in Glynn County, where the trial was moved because of pretrial publicity, and Humphreys' lawyers argued he oversaw security for the jurors and Humphreys himself during the case.

ORLANDO — Gabe Lazo's first season as UCF's women's basketball coach includes seven Sunshine State showdowns.
The Knights, who announced their non-conference schedule on Aug. 27 will face two of the state's supposed "Big 3" schools in the opening month of the 2026-27 campaign. They will travel to Florida on Nov. 5 and meet Florida State for a neutral-site clash at ESPN's Wide World of Sports on Nov. 21.
Lazo, a former ***** istant at Mississippi State, Tennessee and LSU among other stops, signed a five-year contract in April. He became the first Latino head coach of a Power Four women's basketball program.
UCF will welcome five more in-state rivals to Addition Financial Arena: Florida A&M for the Nov. 3 opener, North Florida (Nov. 17), Stetson (Nov. 19), Jacksonville (Nov. 24) and Florida Atlantic (Dec. 15). Knights ***** istant coach Lynn Bria resigned her post as Stetson's head coach in March after 18 years; Melissa DeVore was formally introduced as her successor April 14.
The Knights will also travel to Naples on Thanksgiving weekend to take part in the Florida Gulf Classic, squaring off with both Charlotte and Central Michigan. UCF will not need to cross state lines until late December, at the earliest, when it opens Big 12 Conference play.
