Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:LIND) announced on September 15 that it had acquired 60% of White Desert Antarctica and its new aviation travel business, Echo Charlie. Consideration comprises approximately $61 million in cash, plus approximately $6 million relating to acquired cash, subject to working-capital, cash, and indebtedness adjustments.
The purchase broadens the travel portfolio beyond expedition cruises. For investors, the test is whether additional bookings and cash generation justify the acquisition price and subsequent investment.
White Desert takes guests into Antarctica's interior, including the Geographic South Pole. Echo Charlie offers journeys aboard a restored DC-3 aircraft carrying 12 guests. These experiences add distinctive products that Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:LIND) could market to existing adventure travelers.
Cross-selling could reduce marketing costs per booking and encourage repeat travel across the portfolio. Established customer relationships provide a starting point; the financial benefit depends on generating additional profitable departures.
The company already operates a growing land-travel business. Second-quarter Land Experiences revenue increased 23% to $70.0 million, driven by additional trips and higher pricing. That provides a relevant commercial foundation for the expansion.

MADRID (AP) — Changes are expected to the new Madring track next year after its lackluster debut at the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend.
Organizers said they are open to trying to improve the layout that produced virtually no overtaking opportunities and drew widespread criticism from Formula 1 drivers. The lack of track action was criticized by fans as well as F1 returned to Madrid after a 45-year absence.
Event director Luis García Abad said that governing body FIA has already indicated the changes that might be needed on the urban track that mixes existing roads and purpose-built sections. Madrid signed a 10-year contract to be on the F1 calendar.
"Well, to be honest, FIA has clearly defined how to improve the circuit layout, and we will be open to that because we will have to refurbish the circuit for next year," Abad told Motorsport.com.
Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli won Sunday's race after pole-sitter Lando Norris caught an unlucky break with the timing of the deployment of the virtual safety car. Norris ended third, behind Max Verstappen.

After an epic 11-inning win Friday night against the Phillies, the Braves were hoping to finish them off in the division race. They got a bit of a boost from the Phillies scratching Jesus Luzardo with long-running shoulder soreness.
Tyler Mahle cruised through the first two hitters before Bryce Harper hit a monster homer and took a comical amount of time rounding the bases, clearly hitting back at the controversy from Zach Wheeler's comments about Ronald Acuna's home run celebrations last week. The Phillies had to be feeling good with a 1-0 lead for a couple innings there, until the Braves essentially ended the game with 8 runs in the fourth inning. Ronald Acuna kicked things off with a towering homer (and a normal home run trot).
La Bestia mode activated 🔥#LocalFordDealer | ronaldacunajr24 pic.twitter.com/blKPAhoG0w
The Braves then got a walk, single, single, single, error, wild pitch, walk, double, and single to score another 7 runs. Drake Baldwin provided the double before things got all the way back around to Acuna for the last single, bringing home the last run of the inning.
Mahle continued to cruise after that Harper homer, finishing 7.0 innings of 1-run ball with no walks, even though he only had 7 whiffs and 3 strikeouts. The Braves added another run on in the sixth with a Ronald ABS strikeout-turned-walk, an error on an Olson ground ball, and an Ozzie sac fly. The Phillies got one back with a solo homer from Crawford in the eighth against Brent Suter. The Braves got another 3 runs against the position-player pitcher for Philly in the eighth, as Kiersey singled, Albies doubled, and Harris hit a homer off the right field foul pole. Suter finished off the Phillies in the ninth, as the Braves only needed to throw Mahle and Suter on the night. The Phillies' bullpen is in rough shape on the other side, after the 11-inning game Friday and the blowout bullpen game they suffered today.

MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Joey Logano secured the pole position Saturday for NASCAR's postseason race at World Wide Technology Raceway, positioning himself for a needed boost in the championship Chase.
Logano posted a lap of 32.817 seconds on the 1 1/4-mile oval in suburban St. Louis that features tight turns at the south end and flat, sweeping turns on the north side. He averaged 137.124 mph and his No. 22 Ford was 0.276 seconds faster than Kyle Larson.
"We've got some good momentum on our side here recently," said Logano, who has won twice in his last seven races to climb to eighth in the point standings. "We've had some good cars. We've done a good job. We've put ourselves back in the talks of racing for a championship.
"We may be the underdogs, but we're very used to that. That's where we live, and we feel we got a shot to do it."
The three-time Cup Series champion won the inaugural Cup race at World Wide Technology Raceway on his way to the 2022 championship and has finished in the top five each of the past three years. He will also have the first pit stall Sunday, a key advantage on the second-narrowest pit road of the season.

Defending champion Lando Norris narrowly beat championship leader Kimi Antonelli to claim pole position for the Formula One Spanish Grand Prix on Saturday.
The McLaren driver topped the timesheets with the best time of 1 minute 31.824 seconds on the new Madrid circuit to take his third pole of the season.
Antonelli was just 0.011 seconds behind, while Max Verstappen of Red Bull completed the top three, 0.140 seconds off the pace.
Lewis Hamilton thought he would recover from a crash in the final practice session in style as he had provisional pole with the fastest time after the first flying laps.
But the seven-time champion was beaten by Antonelli, who then lost the top position to Norris.

Lando Norris took a superb pole position for McLaren at the Spanish Grand Prix, beating Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli and Red Bull's Max Verstappen in a breathless final few seconds of qualifying.
"Oh, what a lap, gorgeous," said an ecstatic Norris after pipping world championship leader Antonelli by just 0.011 seconds. "Oh, that might be my best one."
Verstappen was 0.140secs off the pace, as all three moved ahead of Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari.
The seven-time champion had held the top spot after the first runs in the final session.
Hamilton's team-mate Charles Leclerc was fifth, ahead of Mercedes' George Russell and the second McLaren of Oscar Piastri.

When the Kansas City Chiefs cut the offseason roster down to 53 players, one of the most surprising cuts was left tackle Esa Pole, who started multiple games down the stretch of last season.
He was signed to the Washington Commanders' practice squad and may be in line to be called up Week 1. The Commanders' veteran left tackle D.J. Humphries was released on Friday.

What looked like a good night for the Phillies, a night in which they were able to sneak a few runs across the plate against Chris Sale, turned into a bullpen nightmare.
It started off a little rough for the Phillies, Aaron Nola serving up a home run to Matt Olson that somehow clanged off the fair pole in left field to give the Braves a quick 1-0 lead.
Matt Olson gets the scoring started with home run No. 38! pic.twitter.com/lWQLFbumdp
From there though, Nola was really good. He looked to be struggling with his grip all night long, constantly going back to the rosing bag, to the mound, anywhere to get a good hold on the baseball, but something worked and he kept getting outs.
On offense, he got all the help he needed in the second inning. Sale got the first two outs with ease, then let his foot off the gas. He gave up a single to Edmundo Sosa, walked Bryan de la Cruz and hit J.T. Realmuto with a pitch to load the bases for your favorite Hill and mine, Derek. Doing what he seemingly has done all year long, Hill delivered with a bases clearing double that put the Phillies up 3-1.

Carter Jensen hit a pair of doubles, drove in a run, and scored a pair to lead the Royals to their second straight victory and first win against Boston since August 6 of last year. The final score was 3-2 in favor of Kansas City.
It was kind of a weird start for Seth Lugo. I attempted to do a reverse jinx on him with the game preview, and he ultimately allowed only two runs in five innings. That's good enough for now. However, looking toward the future, allowing 7 hits and 2 walks, even while striking out 7, in 5 innings is not a recipe for sustained success.
He only threw seven of his pitches tonight and, perhaps most notably, eschewed the slow curve entirely. The curveball and four-seamer were both much more effective than they have been of late. Perhaps this is a sign he's on the rebound.
For a while it seemed like the jinx on Sonny Gray might work, too. Gray came into the game with a 1.74 ERA against the Royals, the best among any pitchers with at least 10 starts against the team. Jensen's first double led off the game. He advanced to third on a groundout from Bobby Witt Jr. and scored on a Salvador Perez single when Gray inexplicably threw Salvy a sinker in instead of the usual breaking stuff away.
In the third inning, it seemed like the Royals might just go ahead and knock out Gray then and there. Isaac Collins led off with an automatic double at 103.2 MPH down the right field line that hopped over the short fence near the pole. Carter followed up by smashing one at 102.6 off the monster in left to trade places with Collins. Bobby flew out to center at 103.3 to advance Carter to third and Vinnie Pasquantino hit one at 102.4 to give the Royals their final run. Sadly, Salvy grounded into a double play to end the inning and that was the last time KC would score.

A bright pink sandpit and a pitch black infield. A brand new trophy and historic prize money.
The World Athletics Ultimate Championship is posed as something different in the sport, but some things stay the same - pole vault star Armand Duplantis taking centre stage.
As the inaugural competition's official song, which two-time Olympic champion Duplantis wrote and recorded, was played to a sell-out crowd of more than 20,000, all eyes fell on the Swedish 26-year-old as, yet again, it was just him against the world record.
Duplantis had already secured the ****** le of inaugural Ultimate champion in the event he has long dominated, and his $150,000 (£110,000) slice of the record $10m (£7.4m) prize pot on offer.
While he was unable to clear 6.32m and set the 16th world record of his remarkable career, an entertaining battle with Greek challenger Emmanouil Karalis had provided the blockbuster finale to the opening night of action in Budapest.

Being the Buckeye beat's black sheep blog, we here at Land-Grant Holy Land like to pat ourselves on the back. So, throughout the season, members of our staff will be making predictions about that day's game. They will go on the record with what they think the final score will be, who the game's MVP will be, and what the major storyline will be coming out of the day.
Tomorrow, the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes will actually get to play a marquee primetime game as they travel to Austin to take on the No. 4 Texas Longhorns. The two teams will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET in a game airing on ABC. The matchup is easily the biggest game of the non-conference slate this season, and could potentially prove to be the most consequential matchup of the regular season.
It will be the third time that the Bucks and Horns have played in as many seasons, with OSU winning in the College Football Playoff in 2024 and then in the subsequent season's opener. There is a ton on the line for both teams, as each wants to stake its claim to the pole position in the race for the national **** le.
Texas, playing at home, is currently a 1.5-point favorite, according to FanDuel. The book projects the total points line at 49.5. If you think you are better at prognosticating than our experts, maybe go and put your money where your mouth is.
Check out what our staff members think and then let us know your thoughts on the game in the comments below. As we move forward with the season, you will be able to keep up with just how well our prognosticators do on a weekly basis HERE.

The Yankees were one of a handful of teams that didn't play on Labor Day, but not many top American League contenders were in action. The Rays, White Sox, Astros, and Rangers all joined the Yanks in taking a breather on the offday. At least Aaron Judge is officially back! So call that a notable exception to the absence of action.
Here's what the teams that were active were up to on Labor Day.
I hope no one actually had any real expectations of the hapless Angels going into Fenway and doing much of anything. Brayan Bello needed 103 pitches to get through five scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks, but again, these are the Angels. They didn't do much with their opportunities, and they were put in a 5-0 hole in a hurry anyway.
Erstwhile Orioles prospect Grayson Rodriguez was terrible, inflating his season ERA to 6.28 in 17 starts when both Jarren Duran and Adley Rutschman homered off him in the second. His old batterymate's dinger high off the Pesky Pole was a three-run blast and proved to be a crushing blow.

Amanda Seyfried brought easy, breezy glamour to the 83rd Venice Film Festival. She arrived by water taxi in a cornflower-blue minidress that slipped playfully off her shoulders. The actress waved to photographers, embracing a look that felt right at home against Venice's striped poles and golden light.
Amanda Seyfried stuns in off-shoulder Miu Miu minidress at the 83rd Venice Film Festival. Seyfried wore Miu Miu's Poplin Mini Dress, a vivid blue design cut from crisp cotton poplin. The dress featured a ruched, off-the-shoulder neckline and short puffed sleeves. This gave it a relaxed, vacation-ready silhouette that still held its own on a red carpet-adjacent occasion. A subtle logo tag peeked out from the sleeve, a quiet nod to the house's signature detailing.
She paired the dress with Miu Miu's Satin Ballerinas in black, keeping the footwear simple and low-key. For her bag, Seyfried chose the label's Solitaire Patent Leather Bag, also in black, a structured top-handle silhouette that added a polished, glossy contrast to the dress's soft, matte fabric.
The jewelry came courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Seyfried wore the brand's Victoria Pearl and Diamond Earrings, featuring a single pearl drop beneath a diamond-studded star motif, along with the Knot Double Row Ring, a sculptural design finished in diamonds. Both pieces added a delicate sparkle without competing with the dress's bold color.
Her hair was pulled back into a sleek, low updo, drawing attention to the dress's statement neckline, while her makeup stayed soft and dewy, fitting for a daytime festival appearance.

Bruce Campbell recently gave an update about his cancer diagnosis. The Evil Dead star recently shared details about his diagnosis and revealed that he may have around five years left to live.
Bruce Campbell recently spoke about his cancer journey on The Adam Carolla Show. The actor said doctors have given him a five-year prognosis.
Campbell said, "I'm in a five-year prognosis. With the type of cancer that I have, which I don't want to get into, the current thing is a five-year deal."
He described the timeframe as "Give or take." The 68-year-old actor also stated that he believes treatments could improve and that medical advancements could potentially change his outlook.
Campbell continued, "I've decided, though, pretty specifically, though, to live with it, not die from it because you can go down a massive rabbit hole. The cancer rabbit hole is enormous. You can go into focus groups of 10,000 guys who have exactly what you have. I won't touch it with a 10-foot pole."

Christopher Bell finally broke through when it mattered most.
Bell won the Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway on Sunday night, capturing his first NASCAR Cup Series victory of the 2026 season and opening the Chase with a massive statement win. The victory was Bell's 14th career Cup Series win and ended a frustrating stretch of near-misses that had seen him finish runner-up seven times.
Tyler Reddick entered Darlington with plenty of momentum and started the race from the pole after weather forced NASCAR to cancel qualifying.
Reddick immediately showed why he was considered one of the favorites, winning the opening stage after battling with Denny Hamlin throughout the first portion of the race. Bubba Wallace and Hamlin remained near the front as the field dealt with Darlington's notoriously difficult tire-wear conditions.
Reddick's strong start put him in position to score valuable playoff points, but the race was far from over.

Reddick immediately showed why he was considered one of the favorites, winning the opening stage after battling with Denny Hamlin throughout the first portion of the race. Bubba Wallace and Hamlin remained near the front as the field dealt with Darlington's notoriously difficult tire-wear conditions.
Reddick's strong start put him in position to score valuable playoff points, but the race was far from over.

Kyle Kirkwood closed out his 2026 IndyCar Series campaign on a high note, driving from sixth on the grid to a runner-up finish behind Team Penske's Scott McLaughlin in the season finale at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
The strong drive cemented a career-best second-place finish in the championship standings for the 27-year-old Florida native.
Kirkwood, driving the #27 Andretti Global Honda, concluded the 18-race season with 545 points, placing 86 points behind champion Alex Palou of Chip Ganassi Racing. Over the course of the year, Kirkwood led Andretti Global's **** le challenge, recording two wins, six podiums, 10 top-fives, 15 top-10s, and one pole position.
Reflecting on the finale, Kirkwood acknowledged that points strategy dictated his approach late in the race.
"Yeah, it was," Kirkwood said regarding securing second in the championship. "Yeah, we played it a little bit safer than I might have hoped for the last race of the season, but we had to for the championship. We made all the decisions based on that. Probably could have had a go at Scottie (Scott McLaughlin) at the end on the first few laps on reds. The number one goal was to make the tires last. That's what we did. Came home with a second, which is something to be proud of."

Sebastian Vettel drove Michael Schumacher's Ferrari F2002 at Monza before the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, but the emotional weight of such a thing became much larger than the driving itself. Following his performance of donuts near the second Variante, Vettel admitted that the moment had made him feel a great deal of longing for his old friend.
Ferrari built the weekend around Schumacher's legacy. It had been 30 years since he joined Ferrari in 1996 with a special Monza livery, racewear details inspired by the seven-time champion, and seven stars representing his ****** les. The showcase featured several of Schumacher's iconic cars, including the 1996 F310, the 2002 F2002, and the 2006 248 F1.
The F2002 was not merely an old Ferrari brought out for a ceremonial lap. Ferrari's 2002 campaign produced 15 victories, 10 pole positions, and 27 podium finishes, while Schumacher secured that year's championship with 144 points. He won five ****** les with Ferrari and took five Italian Grand Prix victories for the team, in 1996, 1998, 2000, 2003, and 2006.
Rubens Barrichello, Schumacher's teammate in 2002, drove the F2002 on Saturday. Vettel took over the tribute on Sunday, reconnecting with the Ferrari team and the tifosi he raced for from 2015 through 2020. During his time with Ferrari, Vettel secured 14 race victories and achieved second place in the championship standings in both 2017 and 2018.
Vettel won his first Formula 1 race at the circuit for Toro Rosso in 2008. The four-time world champion, who concluded his career with a total of 53 wins, also shared the track with Schumacher during his return to Mercedes from 2010 to 2012. Schumacher had been an early hero, then later a friend who encouraged Vettel's career.

In just a few weeks, Pete Crow-Armstrong is expected to join Ernie Banks in a select group: Chicago Cubs players who have won National League Most Valuable Player honors.
Yet PCA has already one-upped Mr. Cub in one category.
Crow-Armstrong became the youngest player in franchise history to hit 40 home runs, reaching the honor on Sunday, Sept. 6 with a low line drive just inside the right field foul pole at loanDepot Park, a game-tying fifth-inning shot off Miami Marlins right-hander Tyler Phillips.
While the Cubs would go on to lose the game 10-3, there's little to stop the Summer of PCA.
He's now second in the major leagues with 40 homers, trailing only Philadelphia DH Kyle Schwarber's 42, and his 8.6 WAR leads all position players. At 24 years, 165 days old, Crow-Armstrong is 49 days younger than Banks was when the Hall of Famer hit his 40th home run in 1955, the first of his eight consecutive All-Star seasons.

Kimi Antonelli's stunning victory in the Italian Grand Prix from 19th on the grid will go down in Formula 1 folklore - and, remarkably, his team boss Toto Wolff said that he had seen it coming on Saturday.
After Sunday's race, Wolff said that beforehand he thought that one of his two drivers was going to be standing on the top of the podium.
It was an eye-opening statement given they started the race 17 places apart on the grid, George Russell on the front row alongside shock pole winner Pierre Gasly's Alpine; Antonelli on the penultimate row.
"I thought one of the two is going to win," Wolff said. "Either George, because he was on the front row, or Kimi because he's going to walk over water, here at Monza. And I felt that yesterday also."
Wolff was asked to explain why he felt a performance he was comparing to a miracle was on the cards.

Mother Nature had other plans for the NASCAR Cup Series qualifying on Saturday as a lengthy lightning delay canceled the single-car session. Based on the metric, Tyler Reddick will start the Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway from the pole position.
Because of this, Reddick earns the luxury of not only starting up front, but having an advantage on pit road. The driver of the No. 45 will be pitting from the No. 1 pit stall on Sunday night, the closest box to the exit of pit road.
Ryan Blaney lost his privilege of selecting his own pit stall after issues during pre-race inspection. The driver of the No. 12 will be pitting from the No. 27 pit stall, based on where every other team selected.
Here is a look at where every driver will pit for Sunday's Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington.

For the vast majority of the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, George Russell appeared completely in control of his own destiny. After pulling off a sharp opening-lap move on pole-sitter Pierre Gasly and surviving the Lap 3 red flag triggered by Charles Leclerc's crash, the Mercedes driver looked poised to convert his front-row start into a commanding victory at the Temple of Speed.
Instead, a critical strategic gamble under a late Virtual Safety Car completely upended the race, leaving Russell defenseless on fading rubber while his teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli charged from the back of the grid to **** the win.
Mercedes opted for an extreme tire management strategy with Russell, keeping him out on a single set of hard compound tires following the early race stoppage. But when a late Virtual Safety Car period neutralized the field, the Silver Arrows pit wall was forced to make a high-stakes tactical call: preserve track position or pit for fresher, faster rubber.
While Russell remained out on track to protect the race lead, Antonelli and Red Bull's Max Verstappen both dove into the pits for fresh tires. The stark difference in grip proved decisive in the final laps, as Antonelli rapidly eliminated the gap and swept past Russell to claim an astonishing victory from 19th on the grid.
Speaking post-race, Russell admitted he never expected the team to bring Antonelli in.

What exactly happened in England this afternoon? During the match between Portsmouth FC and Cardiff City, away defender Krystian Bielik and a fan got into an altercation.
With the home side leading 2-0, the young fan tried to stop Bielik from taking a quick throw-in. The Pole clearly did not take kindly to that. He grabbed the home fan by the neck before the boy's family members stepped in and calmed the situation down.
The crazy part: according to media reports, the family, including the young fan, was then thrown out of the stadium. Bielik, meanwhile, did not even receive a card for his action. However, the Pole had already been booked earlier.
