After winning the 2025 New York City Marathon and setting a course record in a pair of On sneakers, champion runner **** en Obiri is starring in the Swiss sportwear brand's newest campaign. The new spot, dubbed "Race for the Feeling," is the first expression of On's new "Run On Clouds" brand platform that was unveiled last month, and "signals a shift away" from performance storytelling rooted only in metrics, towards one centered around human feeling. Directed by Parker Schmidt, with still photography by Joanna Wzorek, the campaign follows Obiri during her daily training routes in Boulder, Colo at the On Athletics Club (OAC). The company noted that the visuals aim to "invoke a deeply personal connection to one of the marathon racing's most accomplished athletes." The decision to frame the campaign around "fast as a feeling" was inspired by Obiri herself, whose response when asked whether she looked at her watch to see how fast she was going while breaking the course record in New York City in November, was simply: "No, I just felt it." Obiri completed the 2025 New York City Marathon in November with a time of 2:19:51, besting Margaret Okayo's previous record of 2:22:31, which was set in 2003. Obiri

O'Keeffe Stevens Advisory, an investment advisory firm, released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. During Q2 2026, the market experienced notable dispersion between perceived AI losers and winners. The firm has made investments early in AI infrastructure companies, which yielded gains during market repricing. The second quarter experienced strong equity rallies, with the S&P 500 gaining 15.2% and the Nasdaq 21.4%, marking the best quarter since Q2 2020. While the software sector faced challenges, with the iShares Software ETF dropping ~27% before a rally, reflecting high volatility. This volatility is seen as an opportunity, despite the potential for 'dead money' in underperforming stocks. The firm remains cautious, focuses on owning durable businesses at reasonable prices, holding cash, and hedging risks to navigate unpredictability. In addition, please check the Strategy's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, O'Keeffe Stevens Advisory highlighted Sotera Health Company (NASDAQ:SHC). Sotera Health Company (NASDAQ:SHC) is a US-based company that provides sterilization solutions, lab testing, and advisory services for the healthcare industry. On July 27, 2026, Sotera Health Company (NASDAQ:SHC) closed at $17.24 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $4.92 billion. Sotera Health Company (NASDAQ:SHC) posted a one-month return of -2.87%, while its shares gained 42.01% over the past 52 weeks.
O'Keeffe Stevens Advisory stated the following regarding Sotera Health Company (NASDAQ:SHC) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
"Sotera Health Company (NASDAQ:SHC): We have been following Sotera Health for several years. The business is exceptional: a sterilization duopoly with Sterigenics and Steris combined controlling an estimated 70% of the sterilization market. Sotera's Sterigenics business boasts 50% EBITDA margins, mission-critical regulated services, and cobalt-60 production that is nearly impossible to replicate. Yet we never bought it because of one thing: Warburg Pincus held a material stake and was consistently selling into the market. We do not buy high quality businesses where forced sellers will pressure the stock regardless of fundamental improvement. We look for situations where forced sellers create dislocation, allowing us to buy a stock for cheaper than what it would trade for without such selling pressure. On the bip side, we look to sell into forced buyers pushing stock prices up irrespective of fundamentals. In early 2026, Warburg sold its last share. Combined with a valuation that was cheap given the quality of the business model, we thought it made sense to purchase the stock.
At their November 2024 Investor Day, management outlined a 2025-2027 plan targeting 5%-7% organic revenue growth and 5%-8% adjusted EBITDA growth, with at least 50bps of EBITDA margin expansion annually. Sterigenics represents over 60% of revenue, and we expect

Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar paid a heartfelt tribute to his late mentor, Ramakant Achrekar, on the occasion of Guru Purnima, expressing gratitude for the coach who laid the foundation of his legendary career. The batting great shared pictures from his visit to Achrekar's memorial at Mumbai's Shivaji Park and reflected on the invaluable lessons his coach imparted, both on and off the field.
In an emotional message posted on social media, Tendulkar wrote:
"Standing here today, I realised something. No matter how many years pass, I'll always feel like I have one more 'thank you' left to say. Thank you for believing in me, guiding me, and helping me become the person I am. Happy Guru Purnima, Achrekar Sir."
Achrekar was instrumental in nurturing Tendulkar's talent during his formative years at the famous Shivaji Park. Known for his strict discipline and emphasis on hard work, the veteran coach played a crucial role in developing Tendulkar's technique, temperament, and dedication, qualities that later defined one of the greatest careers in cricket history. Over the years, Tendulkar has repeatedly acknowledged Achrekar's influence, often crediting him for preparing him to handle the pressures of international cricket from a young age.
A memorial honouring Ramakant Achrekar was unveiled at Shivaji Park in 2024, celebrating his immense contribution to Indian cricket. Tendulkar attended the unveiling ceremony, paying tribute to the man widely regarded as one of the country's most influential cricket coaches.
Sachin Tendulkar concluded his legendary 24-year international cricketing career as the highest run-scorer and century-maker in the history of international cricket. Making his international debut for India at the tender age of 16 in 1989, he played continuously until his emotional farewell at his home ground in Mumbai in November 2013. He widely represents the gold standard of modern batting, finishing with 34,357 international runs and an unprecedented 100 international centuries.

Left-hander Foster Griffin is having a really good year for the Washington Nationals.
He's 12-2 in 21 starts with a 2.76 ERA, 1.032 WHIP and only 28 walks and 113 strikeouts in 124 innings, and he was named to the National League All-Star team.
Can I stop for a minute and say "I told you so"?
Because I did tell you that the Cubs should have signed Griffin as a free agent, coming back from three years in NPB, in an article posted here last November 21.

Starbucks (SBUX) aims to keep its growth story piping hot when it reports third quarter results as CEO Brian Niccol leads the company into year three of its turnaround plan.
Wall Street expects Starbucks global same-store sales to grow 5.7%, according to Bloomberg data, just shy of the 6.2% jump seen in Q2. Last year, the company saw a 2% decline in overall same-store sales growth in the third quarter.
The coffee chain is expected to report adjusted earnings per share of $0.56, an increase from $0.50 per share in the same period last year. Revenue is set to come in at $9.2 billion, down from $9.5 billion this time last year due to the transition of its China business to a joint venture.
In November, Starbucks announced it sold a 60% majority stake in its China business to Boyu Capital in a deal valuing the business at $4 billion.
In North America, sales are expected to see a 6% pop as the chain leans into fruity flavors and cold foams, which drive up average check sizes.

NFL teams and NFL players are not famously open and transparent about injury timelines, but Michael Penix Jr. was an exception today.
Per the team's 2025 starting quarterback, his recovery from his November ACL injury is progressing nicely, but it still could be a month until he's fully medically cleared. If all goes well, Penix noted, it could be a little sooner. Because the long end of that estimate would put us at August 29, that likely means the most hotly-anticipated battle of camp is all but over. So long as Tua Tagovailoa's back tightness is indeed minor, he'll be starting in Week 1.
When Penix suffered his ACL injury and had surgery, insider Ian Rapoport initially reported that it would carry a nine month recovery at minimum. Since then, both the team and Penix have avoided putting concrete timelines on his recovery, but mid-August would be around nine months and Penix now seems unlikely to be cleared by then.
Fans inserted their own timelines into the vacuum between Rapoport's initial report and the months that have come. Some very optimistic souls believed he could be cleared for minicamp, but that time came and went. Others hoped we might see Penix cleared in time for the start of training camp, a more reasonable guess but still a bit of an optimistic one.
On the first day of training camp, Penix was out there moving and throwing, but he still has not been fully medically cleared and cleared for full team work. The long and short of it is that Penix can do some work and give the coaching staff a measure of his ability, but cannot fully participate in training camp and almost certainly will not appear in preseason action. He'll get to build rapport with receivers because he's there and throwing—and he chucked a long touchdown to Zachariah Branch Wednesday—but obviously the work of running the offense and participating in scrimmages and the like is still a ways away.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Shemar Stewart was injured during the team's training camp practice.
Stewart suffered an apparent leg injury. He limped off the field, and was attended to by trainers.
Stewart was the Bengals' first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Stewart played in eight games during his rookie season for Cincinnati. He suffered a knee injury in November 2025, and was placed on the reserve/injured list.
Earlier in the season, Stewart suffered a right ankle injury during the fourth quarter of the team's Week 2 win against Jacksonville after appearing to get rolled up on by then-teammate Logan Wilson.

When you are reading this, we will be TWO WEEKS AWAY from the start of the Marquette women's soccer season!
We'll do a lot more season previewing as we get closer to the start of action, but for now, we have to beat the league office to the punch. Last year, we got the preseason Big East awards just a couple of days before the Golden Eagles got going with their season. That means we have to get waaaaaay out in front of the official results of the polling of the league's women's soccer coaches and make some picks for who is going to get honored as the season gets started. My guiding light on these picks is, as always, trying to predict how the coaches will vote. I have my own preferences as to how things should turn out, but at the end of the day, the goal is to try to get these right.
Okay, let's jump right into it, as we've got three individual awards to discuss, as well as a preseason all-conference team and a predicted order of finish for all 11 teams in the Big East!
These things don't have to be complicated: Kohls is the leading returning point scorer in the Big East this season. She had six goals and eight ***** ists last season for the Musketeers for a total of 20 points. Here's the catch: Since the last time the Big East updated the stats for last season was on November 10th, before the NCAA tournament started, Kohls was tied for eighth in total points a year ago and tied for ninth in points per game. She's still the best returning player. Part of that is because there were A LOT of seniors on the All-Big East teams last fall, and another part is because two players in front of Kohls transferred after the season was over. That includes her own teammate, Samantha Erbach, who was the top scorer in the Big East last year with 18 goals and 16 ***** ists, but now she's at Florida State.
I'm going by the points and points per game here, because I value the contribution of ***** ists to offensive production. Sometimes the coaches don't agree with me on that topic, and so I should note that the Big East's top returning goal scorer from last season is Marquette's Jocelyn Leigh, who finished the year with seven. That was tied for eighth in the league in total goals and alone in sixth for goals per game as of the last time the league ran the stat sheet. Marquette was third in the Big East in team goals for as of November 10th with only Georgetown and Xavier in front of them, so there's an argument for Leigh to get the nod here.

De'Zhaun Stribling has been one of my favorite fantasy rookie wideouts, despite the fact that he started the summer behind Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and Christian Kirk on the depth chart. Now Kirk is hurt. A strong camp would make Stribling one of fantasy's biggest bargains.
When the Niners selected Stribling with the first pick in the second round of this year's draft, they were investing in a potentially NFL-ready wideout. But why? Aren't they deep at receiver with Evans, Pearsall, and Kirk, along with TE George Kittle and monster pass-catching RB Christian McCaffrey? But most of these guys are on the verge of post-prime. McCaffrey is 30. Kittle and Evans are entering their age-33 seasons. Kirk will turn 30 in November.
All four -- plus Pearsall -- are sub-par on the durability scale. It would be farfetched to think that Stribling won't earn starts. Kirk has been the most likely domino to fall, as he's been frequently injured and in decline these past two years. Now that he's injured, the door is open for Stribling to seize a Week 1 starting role.
Three weeks ago, Stribling's ADP was WR68. Now it's somehow 100. The market has forgotten about him. Savvy managers shouldn't.
For a deeper dive on Stribling, listen to this podcast episode, along with this one from a few weeks earlier.

Democratic Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong's campaign told Fox News Digital Tuesday that she does not recall posting on social media in favor of abolishing the Senate in 2021 and said that was not her current position.
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) co-chair Megan Romer went viral Sunday for confirming that the DSA supported abolishing the Senate, eliminating national borders and prisons, replacing the presidency and the Supreme Court, and more during an interview with Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday."
Republican candidate for Wisconsin governor Tom Tiffany said in a post to X that Hong believed in all the ideas mentioned in the viral video.
"This sounds a lot like DSA-backed FrancescaHongWI. Does she want to abolish the police? Yep. Does she want to abolish prisons? Absolutely. Did she call for abolishing the U.S. Senate? Yes. Socialism is knocking on Wisconsin's door. This November, we slam it shut," Tiffany wrote.

On Monday, one day before the Chargers veterans reported to training camp in El Segundo, it was reported that the team had released veteran offensive lineman Ben Cleveland.
In February of 2025, Cleveland was arrested and cited for DUI in his home state of Georgia. He plead guilty to the charge on November 4th and was ultimately suspended for three games by the Ravens. Cleveland was given a one-year probation on his driver's license. On July 16th, just 12 days before the start of camp, Cleveland was picked up for speeding which violates that probation.
Due to the repeated off-field issues, it looks like the Chargers finally decided keeping Cleveland around wasn't worth the negative publicity. And to be fair, Cleveland was no longer a good fit with the Chargers after the firing of offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
Now, the Chargers can focus on their wealth of young offensive lineman without needing worry about the availability of a fringe roster player.

A federal appellate panel on Tuesday refused to block President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to restrict mail voting, a day after the administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in on the proposal in a separate case.
The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld a May ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Carl J. Nichols that said an injunction against the order was premature. Nichols ruled that the Democrats and voting rights groups who challenged the order couldn't seek the injunction until the Trump administration issued formal regulations governing it. The administration started releasing those directives days later.
The circuit court panel, with two judges appointed by former Democratic President Barack Obama and one by Trump, found that was proper and there were no noted dissents. But the unsigned decision noted that if the administration truly tried to force such changes in the few months remaining before November's midterm election, it may well get halted by courts.
"The action the Order contemplates would involve the President, whom the Constitution vests with no express authority over the conduct of elections, undertaking a substantial and unfunded overhaul of election procedures — including the implementation of a nationwide reform to Postal Service mail-handling processes —on the threshold of the November election. Put differently, the Order 'may not prove feasible to implement in any manner whatsoever,'" said the ruling, quoting a prior legal opinion.
In a separate case filed by Democratic state officials, a federal judge in Massachusetts last month blocked the executive order from taking effect for this year's elections because it was already forcing states, which are granted the power under the U.S. Constitution to control their own elections, to revise their procedures on the fly. That ruling was upheld on Saturday by a Boston-based appeals court and then was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday by the Trump administration.

Entries from early 2020 in a now-exposed personal diary kept by Dr. Anthony Fauci during the COVID-19 pandemic show that he privately estimated the death rate from the illness was significantly lower than what he told Congress under oath only weeks later.
Fauci, 85, has come under intense scrutiny for years regarding his approach leading the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic, and his alleged links to the Chinese lab where the virus originated. He will return to Capitol Hill on Wednesday before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to speak about his newly publicized personal records.
"The stated mortality over all of this when you look at all the data including China is about three percent. It first started off as two and three," Fauci said in testimony before the House Oversight Committee on March 11, 2020, according to a transcript of the hearing.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci prepares to testify before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee about the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill on November 4, 2021, in Washington, D.C. Senators questioned Fauci and other witnesses about the approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine for children between 5 and 11 years old this week.

When Kat Friday, a revenue operations employee at financial technology firm Marqeta, first came across Pickle on TikTok in February 2025, she didn't think opening a storefront on the app would ever amount to much.
"I am not into fashion one bit. I wear all black everywhere," Friday tells Fortune. She initially opened the app to scan for a few outfits for an upcoming vacation. But as she scrolled through Pickle's more than 500,000 listings, Friday realized she also could use the platform to rent out an expensive camera sitting on a shelf collecting dust in her apartment.
In November 2025, she listed a Canon G7 X camera, which normally retails for around $1,000, for $150 a week, and waited for a response. The rentals came almost immediately.
"I never use this thing and people are dying for them," Friday says. "I immediately got a bunch of rentals for it, and I was like, 'Okay, I'm gonna list some other stuff.'"
The listing's success inspired Friday to add more items to her Pickle offerings, and she started uploading some shirts and dresses she barely wore. As her storefront grew, Friday even started purchasing "trendy" items in a variety of sizes, what she referred to as "investment pieces" to rent out on Pickle.

A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling that halted President Donald Trump's executive order to create a federal list of eligible voters and limit delivery of mail ballots only to people on that list.
The ruling over the weekend rejected the Trump administration's effort to move forward with the mail-in voting restrictions in 23 U.S. states that sued ahead of November's midterm elections.
Also, the Trump administration has acknowledged in court documents that it canceled $7.6 billion in grants for hundreds of clean energy projects "based solely on the political identity of the grant recipient's state" — in this case, 16 states that voted for Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
Here's the latest:
Speaking to workers at a GM facility in Milford, Michigan, Trump touted steep tariffs that he says have protected the U.S. auto industry and revived production in the United States.

Peterson's career was marred in 2014, when he missed nearly all of the season on paid leave following felony child-abuse charges that resulted in a no-contest plea to misdemeanor reckless ******* ault.
The following season, he led the league in rushing, with 1,485 yards.

Now that the Denver Broncos are reporting for training camp, fans will likely get a more inside looks at the team's new training facility. While some introductory pictures were released by the team in mid-July, the first interior video of the facility has been shared on Instagram by Kayla Jones, wife of Broncos defensive lineman D.J. Jones.
The video captured several never-before-seen areas of the new building. Some of the new areas shown include an in-house barbershop (complete with an orange and blue striped barber chair), a mini indoor field, shaded table seating on the roof of the building, and a revamped locker room ready for the team.
You can check out Kayla's video, as well as a better view of the Broncos' new barbershop, below.
The $175 million facility, and all its bells and whistles, is a visible sign of the past two seasons of work. The facility was first announced in November 2023 and broke ground in late August 2024. The state-of-the-art campus was funded completely by the Walton-Penner ownership group, and is 30 percent bigger than their old headquarters building, according to the team's website.
The building also is a reminder of the Walton-Penner ownership group's commitment to making the team one of the best in the NFL, both on and off the field. The next big investment in the club will be the team's new stadium, on track to be built at the team's preferred site at Denver's historic Burnham Yard. While finalized plans have not been announced quite yet, the team is committing significant time and energy into the beautification of the area, and community inclusivity. You can see all the updates on the team's stadium website. The biggest remaining hurdle will be the relocation of Denver Water, which is located at Burnham Yard.

So far, Manchester United have signed a back-up goalkeeper, two midfielders and a young forward this summer, but former Red Devils defender Danny Simpson says they need fresh blood in another position.
"Lisandro Martinez is injured, Matthijs de Ligt gets injured a lot and Harry Maguire is 33 now, so I think we could do with a centre-back," Simpson told BBC Radio Manchester.
United currently have a wealth of experience in the centre-back department with Martinez, De Ligt and Maguire, but injuries halted their playing time together last season.
It is not yet known if Martinez will be ruled out of the start of the domestic campaign with the injury he picked up during Argentina's World Cup final defeat by Spain.
De Ligt last featured for United in November 2025 under Ruben Amorim.

The Women's League Cup will be renamed the Players Cup and operate in a league system with regionalised matches for the 2026-27 season.
Last November, clubs in the Women's Super League (WSL) and WSL 2 voted in favour of proposals to revamp the competition to help combat scheduling issues and to protect player welfare.
They agreed the new format would exclude sides who have qualified for the Women's Champions League, meaning League Cup holders Chelsea, WSL champions Manchester City and runners-up ***** nal will miss this year's edition.
The remaining 23 teams from the top two divisions have been split into Northern and Southern sections - but will be in one table.
They will compete from September to December on nights when Champions League fixtures are taking place.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Monday to clear the way for an executive order from President Donald Trump that could dramatically change mail-in voting ahead of November's midterm elections.
The Justice Department asked the justices to halt for now lower court decisions blocking the sweeping changes in nearly half the country.
The request comes shortly after Trump delivered a primetime address elevating his yearslong push to raise doubts about the legitimacy of elections, and could be one of several voting-related challenges before the court ahead of the high-stakes midterm contest.
Trump ordered the government in March to create a "state citizenship list" of eligible voters and deliver mail ballots only to people on that list.
Democratic officials in 23 states and the District of Columbia sued, saying the Constitution gives states and Congress the authority to set election rules, not the president. Their attorneys have said Trump's proposed changes are ripe for abuse and could cause chaos.

People rarely go broke overnight. It usually happens gradually, as a string of financial decisions that each seemed fine on their own pile up until they can't be ignored anymore. Even high earners aren't immune.
A Harris Poll in November 2025 found that a third of Americans earning $100,000 or more describe themselves as financially distressed, and 64% now consider a six-figure income "survival mode" rather than a sign of wealth. Three-quarters had used a credit card recently because they'd run out of cash, and more than half said they'd need to double their income just to feel secure.
