A portion of a major California highway has been renamed after Hollywood icon James Dean 71 years after he died in a fiery crash on the road while driving to a race in Salinas.
Caltrans officials were joined by representatives of the late star in the town of Cholame on Wednesday where a segment of Highway 46—which connects the coast with the Central Valley—officially became the James Dean Memorial Highway.
"Yesterday's ceremony marked 71 years since Dean's tragic crash, and local leaders, CHP, and community advocates came together with one message: safer roads save lives," the announcement read, referring to the designation near the site of Dean's fatal 1955 crash.

When President Donald Trump’s name was ordered removed from the Kennedy Center this spring, it seemed that an opening to move on from his reign over the performing arts center might have emerged.
“I have instructed the Department of Commerce to make all necessary arrangements with Congress to allow a full and complete transfer of this Institution, giving them the responsibility for its Operation, Maintenance, and Management,” the president wrote in a late-May Truth Social post, seemingly relinquishing the control he’d seized a year prior.
Speculation even bubbled up among some of the more than a dozen “ex-officio,” board members — who don’t get a vote but are not allied with Trump — over whether the former board chairman, billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein, could be brought back to help restore the center’s fundraising and programming, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. (CNN has asked Rubenstein for comment.)
But after Trump said he would remain chairman, “it kind of all squelched pretty quickly,” one of the sources said. The hope that his crusade to rename a monument dedicated to the memory of John F. Kennedy had ended turned out to be wishful thinking.
Instead, nine months from a cold December day when cranes first placed Trump’s name on the marble façade, the institution has been brought to the brink by the president still very much engaged in a fight: lights have been turned off inside, infrastructure is crumbling and protests swirl while legal battles mount.

President Trump was photographed this week on board Air Force One examining a large poster with the words "Kennedy Center DEMOLISHED" printed above a rendering of a construction site, heightening concerns that his administration wants to raze Washington, D.C.'s iconic performing arts venue if his name is not added to its facade.
"I think that the Trump administration should certainly have recognition," the president told reporters before he boarded the plane Wednesday in North Carolina. "Because frankly, if we don't do that, it's going to close. It'll end up being ripped down."
Trump's comments and the photographs that followed are the latest developments in a convoluted saga that started when he dismissed the center's trustees in February 2025 — just days after returning to office — and replaced them with loyalists who elected him chairman.
Despite several legal setbacks, Trump's handpicked board has been pushing ever since to rename the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which was built as a "living memorial" to the slain 35th president, after the White House's current occupant.
The day before Trump was photographed with the "Kennedy Center DEMOLISHED" poster, his appointees voted to close the center's main building for renovations. Does this mean Trump will bulldoze the Kennedy Center if he doesn't get the "recognition" he wants? Here's what we know — and what we don't.

Alluvium **** et Management, an **** et management company, released its "Conventum – Alluvium Global Fund" second-quarter 2026 investor letter. The letter can be downloaded here. The second quarter reflected a sharp shift from geopolitical uncertainty and oil market volatility to a powerful equity rally led by semiconductor companies. Despite the broader market strength, the Fund declined 1.4% in EUR terms, 2.2% in USD terms, and 3.9% in AUD terms. Portfolio results were mixed, with Alphabet benefiting from strong Cloud growth, while Robert Half, H&R Block and other holdings posted solid gains. However, cable businesses and several healthcare and consumer holdings weighed on performance. Also, check the fund's top five holdings to see its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Conventum – Alluvium Global Fund highlighted Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK). Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK) is a communication services company that provides a range of data, wireless, video, voice, and managed services. GCI Liberty, Inc. rebranded to Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK) in May 2026. On September 15, 2026, Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK) closed at $25.55 per share. Over the past month, Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK) declined 1.50% and its shares lost 27.02% over the past 52 weeks. Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK) has a market capitalization of $1.02 billion, and its stock trades within a 52-week range of $19.30 and $41.18.
Conventum – Alluvium Global Fund stated the following regarding Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"GCI Liberty, the Alaskan cable business that was spun out of Liberty Broadband, has been renamed Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK) (to reflect a future which is expected to include a broader array of businesses, and with its legacy GCI Alaska cable business being the solid "cash cow"). It fell 40.6%. There was plenty of news. Most notable was its USD 360m acquisition of Quintillion, which owns around 3,000 kilometres of fibre cable and plans to expand it by a further 2,500 kilometres or so. This perfectly aligns with Liberty's GCI operations. We understand Quintillion generates around USD 55-60m in revenue and USD 30m in free cash. We would expect significant synergies (reportedly around USD 20m) so we have little doubt that the deal adds value. And in fact, when we incorporate it into our model, the valuation uplift is around 35%. Management also decided to retreat from the competitive and low margin video business. And finally, Liberty Capital had intended to acquire an interest in Liberty Latin America by striking a deal for an initial 6% stake and building on that by buying John Malone's interest. For some reason this did not proceed which perhaps spooked the market.

Pennsylvania state Rep. David Maloney, a Republican, is asking President Donald Trump to rename Lake Erie to "Lake Pennsylvania" following similar renaming efforts by the president.
Maloney is preparing a resolution calling on Trump, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and lawmakers on Capitol Hill to take steps to rename Lake Erie to "Lake Pennsylvania," arguing that the change is needed to reflect the lake's modern identity.
"This is Pennsylvania's only Great Lake. Its modern economy and identity are increasingly tied to the boaters, anglers, families and tourists who come to enjoy it," Maloney said in a statement. "Ohio has plenty of shoreline. New York already has two Great Lakes. Canada has four others."

Pop star Pink is under fire online for resharing an anti-Israel message and then following it up with a series of Instagram posts directed at her detractors.
Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, supported British musician Ed Sheeran on stage at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey in a show called Loop Tour on September 4 and 5. Donning a keffiyeh in front of an 80,000-strong audience, the rapper shouted "Free Palestine" and addressed Gaza and the occupied West Bank, saying that they are not being forgotten.
"Every human being walking on this earth deserves exactly the same freedom," he added, as reported by Variety.
The rapper then performed his protest song "Hind's Hall," which featured flashes of Gaza on the stadium screens. Macklemore referenced Hind Rajab, a young Palestinian girl killed in Gaza, named after student demonstrators at Columbia University who renamed a campus building in her honor. The rapper then addressed Jewish concertgoers, saying that criticizing Israel and condemning their actions as genocide is not a condemnation of Jewish people and that his message is a message of peace and dignity for everyone.
American pop diva, whose legal name is Alecia Beth Moore Hart, posted a video with the message "Awful" to her Instagram Story, claiming that Jewish fans who came to see Sheeran's performance are exposed to propaganda against Israel. According to Pink, Macklemore's speech and video presentation amount to a false accusation of genocide, and people who came to the concert are entitled to "apologies and refunds."

A B Graphic International (ABG) has renamed Enprom Solutions as ABG Girona, as part of the continued integration of its Spain-based operation into the wider group.
The move follows the 2019 acquisition of the business by ABG and Kocher+Beck and affirms the site as the group's centre of excellence for flexible packaging.
Based in Girona, the operation designs and builds machinery, converting systems, sleeve products and automated production lines for the flexible packaging and label sectors.
Within the ABG group, the Girona business is set to take on a larger role in flexible packaging work, including the FlexPack range.
The name change is intended to clarify the Girona operation's position within the group for customers while retaining the technical knowledge developed by the existing team.

The White House on Sunday amplified President Donald Trump's call to rebrand New Mexico as "New America," reposting an image from the president's Truth Social account showing the state's name crossed out and replaced with "America."
Trump's original post featured a map of the Southwestern state with the word "Mexico" crossed out in bright red and replaced with "America," effectively depicting it as "New America."

The White House later shared the image on its verified X account. Neither post included an explanation or indicated whether it reflected an actual policy proposal.
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham told Fox News Digital that New Mexico's name "isn't up for debate — it's been ours since before the United States existed."

President Donald Trump has dropped another clunker in the laps of his fellow Republicans in the run-up to the 2026 midterm elections.
His new trade war with Canada and his related move to change the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" are the latest in a series of unpopular actions.
In fact, new polling suggests they're even more unpopular than Trump's previous tariffs and efforts to rename things.
A Reuters-Ipsos poll conducted in recent days is the first quality survey to test Trump's renewed clash with Canada.
It shows Americans oppose the president's executive order to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America" 63% to 14%, with the rest undecided.

Brennan ******* et Management recently released its Q2 2026 investor letter. The letter can be downloaded here. Investors were optimistic about a potential truce with Iran, highlighted by a mid-June memorandum for negotiations on regional security and sanctions, causing oil prices to drop and the market to rally. Despite geopolitical uncertainties, investors remain focused on a surge in AI infrastructure spending, which is expected to heavily influence the global economy, although questions about the returns from this investment loom.

In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Brennan ******* et Management highlighted Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK). Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK) is a communication services company that provides a range of data, wireless, video, voice, and managed services. GCI Liberty, Inc. rebranded to Liberty Capital Corporation in May 2026. On August 31, 2026, Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK) closed at $26.03 per share.

Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK) has a market capitalization of $1.04 billion, and its stock has traded within a 52-week range of $19.30 to $41.18.
Brennan ******* et Management stated the following regarding Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
Liberty Capital Corporation (NASDAQ:GLIBK): "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!": In our Q4 2024 letter, we described our unfavorable investment history with Liberty Latin America (LILAK) and explained our reasons for substantially exiting the position and reinvesting the proceeds in TIGO. In the letter, we blamed ourselves for giving LILAK's management team too much slack even though operating performance continued to contradict their rosy projections. Selling shares in a longer-term holding that has not worked is no fun, but it is part of the investment process.
In our Q3 2025 letter, we detailed our investment in GCI Liberty (later renamed Liberty Capital) and described how we felt that the company traded substantially below the value of the Alaska Cable business, which implied that investors were seemingly ascribing negative value to the prospects of deals from John Malone and company. We noted how investors would have flocked to this type of investment 10 years ago, but the underperformance of US cable and several other Liberty names had caused a severe inversion to anything cable related..."

More than ever before, college sports are a business for everyone involved.
That money has to come from somewhere, and many schools are finding creative ways to get it. Here are some of the corporate sponsorships funding NIL and other expenses around the Big 12.
In July, Texas Tech announced a 15-year agreement with Galaxy, a data center infrastructure company, to rename Jones AT&T Stadium to Galaxy Stadium.
The former name honored the school's third president, Clifford B. Jones, who donated $100,000 to help fund the construction of the stadium in 1947.
"It goes without saying college athletics continues to evolve," Texas Tech AD Kirby Hocutt told Sports Business Journal. "I look at that as a very exciting opportunity and challenge to reinvent athletic administration, college athletics and how we continue to build toward a commercial media type of organization."

Comedian Bill Maher mocked liberals for crying foul over President Donald Trump's decision to rename Lake Ontario, suggesting they know a thing or two about changing things to fit a political agenda.
In Friday's opening monologue of HBO's "Real Time," host Maher poked fun at Trump's renaming of one of the Great Lakes to "Lake America" during an ongoing trade war with Canada.
"Trump is so mad at Canada he renamed Lake Ontario Lake America," Maher said. "Now I gotta buy a new globe again.

Al Michaels appeared to poke fun at President Donald Trump's decision to rename Lake Ontario during Thursday night's Patriots-Browns game.
While discussing the view from Cleveland during the Amazon Prime Video broadcast, Michaels referenced Lake Erie before turning his attention toward the changing name of another Great Lake.
"That is Lake Erie. We think it is still called Lake Erie," Michaels said in a clip shared on X. "We're not quite sure at this point. But we'll be by Lake something like Ontario or whatever it's going to be called by the time we get to Buffalo. Anyway, you know what I'm talking about. Read the news."
Michaels' comments came the same day Trump signed an executive order directing the federal government to rename Lake Ontario "Lake America" in U.S. government databases.
Trump said the name change was being considered amid the worsening relationship with Canada and argued that the United States did not expect to do much business with Ontario.

Crocs, Pokemon cards and kendamas never go out of style in Hawaii. And neither does the Warriors' four-wide offense, In video sessions with offensive newcomers, receivers coach Jared Ursua shows old footage of the Warriors' passing game. "We've been doing this since January," Ursua said of clips of former UH QBs Dan Robinson, Nick Rolovich, Timmy Chang, Colt Brennan, Bryant Moniz and Cole McDonald. "We are who we are, we do what we do, and this system has always worked." QB1 Micah Alejado has been starring in recent remakes, deciphering defenses ahead of the snap, releasing passes within 2.2 seconds, and throwing to targeted areas on the receivers' routes. "Micah's a special quarterback," said Chang, the UH head coach who calls the offensive plays. "He understands our offense, and he understands what teams are trying to do against us." Ursua has implored the receivers to read the coverages correctly "so Micah can throw at a high level based on our indicators, which is what the run-and-shoot is based off." Alejado has shown toughness, playing through injuries to his right ankle last season. He did not participate in contact drills ahead of the Hawaii Bowl, during which he completed 69.6% of his throws for 274 yards and three TDs. Last season, the Warriors scored on 46.1% of Alejado's full drives. Slotbacks Blaze Kamoku, Tama Uiliata, Audric Harris, Kainoa "Kaikai" Carvalho, ******* an Lacaden and Koa Eldredge are reliable inside receivers. Devin Alves, Tre' Griffiths and Carson Brown are tall and fast wideouts. With running back Landon Sims' graduation, Cam Barfield will get the bulk of the reps. Barfield did not fumble while averaging 9.1 touches as a running back, receiver and returner. Left tackle Boogie Henderson's emergence enabled Dean Briski to move to the right side. At 6-6 and 345 pounds, Oregon transfer Lipe Moala is mobile on pulls.
Three years ago, in his first season as UH's defensive coordinator, Dennis Thurman kept intact the 4-2-5 scheme the Warriors ran under Corey Batoon in 2019 and Jacob Yoro in 2023. In 2024, Thurman incorporated some of the attacking schemes he used when he was an ******* istant coach with the Baltimore Ravens and DC with the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills. "Once we clicked his second year, he let it all loose," mike linebacker Wynden Ho'ohuli said of Thurman. Kona Moore, who has overcome a variety of injuries, and Matagi Thompson are succeeding safeties Peter Manuma and Kilinahe Mendiola-Jensen. "Main focus is staying healthy," said Moore, who relies on stretching as part of his prehab. Ho'ohuli and Jamih Otis have switched linebacker jobs. Ho'ohuli is now the middle, often working in tandem with nickelback Elijah Palmer. As the renamed dime linebacker, Otis often has isolation ******* ignments, which enable him to use his speed in the flats and to break off for direct aim at running backs. Ho'ohuli and Otis will take turns as play-callers. The Warriors will miss Jackie Johnson III's pass rushing, but Leste

Legendary NFL broadcaster Al Michaels took a not-so-subtle jab at President Donald Trump during Thursday night's NFL preseason broadcast, joking about the president's decision to rename Lake Ontario "Lake America."
The moment came during Amazon Prime Video's broadcast of the Cleveland Browns' preseason game against the New England Patriots. As the broadcast returned from a commercial break, the camera showed an aerial view of Cleveland, Ohio, with Lake Erie in the background.
Michaels, 81, used the shot to reference Trump's executive order, which he signed earlier Thursday directing the federal government to rename Lake Ontario "Lake America" for federal purposes. The move came as tensions with Canada over a trade deal continue to escalate.
"That is Lake Erie. We think it is still called Lake Erie. We're not quite sure at this point," Michaels said. "But we'll be by Lake something like Ontario or whatever it's going to be called by the time we get to Buffalo [for Week 1]."
Michaels added, "Anyway, you know what I'm talking about. Some of you do. Read the news."

Metaplanet, the Tokyo-listed firm that became one of the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holders, is expanding to the United States, agreeing to seed a Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin treasury company with 2,100 BTC.
Under the deal announced Tuesday, Metaplanet will contribute the coins, worth roughly $132.1 million, plus $2.5 million in cash, to Super League Enterprise, a gaming media company, in exchange for stock, preferred shares and warrants.
Super League will be renamed Superplanet, Inc. and trade under the ticker SUPA, becoming a consolidated Metaplanet subsidiary while keeping its existing advertising business running as a separate segment. Metaplanet will own about 95.7% of Superplanet's common stock at closing, expected in the fourth quarter.
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich framed the move as a way to tap the world's deepest capital market, saying Metaplanet is putting in its own Bitcoin, locking up its shares and backing the company with its balance sheet to compound a single group Bitcoin position across two listed platforms. The firm currently holds 43,000 BTC, ranking it the third-largest corporate holder, according to the announcement.
Analysts flagged what sets the transaction apart from the wave of shell-and-PIPE treasury deals of the past year and a half. Mark Palmer of Benchmark-StoneX, who rates Metaplanet a buy, noted the company is funding the deal with Bitcoin off its own balance sheet rather than third-party money raised at a discount.

DETROIT (AP) — Two people who attended a prestigious Michigan fine arts school reported conduct of a **** ual nature by Jeffrey Epstein, a major donor, according to an investigation that also uncovered dozens of allegations spanning decades against nearly 50 other people.
Interlochen Center for the Arts operates a summer camp and performing arts school that draws students from around the world. It hired a law firm in 2024 to investigate reports of **** ual abuse by faculty and staff. Subsequently, it expanded the work to include information about Epstein, the 66-year-old financier who killed himself in jail in 2019.
Interlochen removed Epstein's name from a lodge after he was convicted of **** offenses in Florida in 2008. The building, renamed the Green Lake Lodge, was recently demolished after the U.S. Justice Department released millions of pages about him that had been compiled over the years.
Sanghavi Law Office says it collected 70 accounts from alumni alleging "physical conduct of a **** ual nature" by 47 faculty and staff members affiliated with Interlochen from the 1950s through the 2010s, most before 2000.
"The information gathered during this investigation is, simply, devastating," the 97-page report says, noting that alumni reported grooming, flirting, **** ual touching and **** .

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.
