Nicole Hardy It's good the commission is finally checking how Liga MX blocks promotion and locks up TV rights.

The posts reiterate that she and Barker were married from 2004 to 2008 and share two children, with Moakler aiming to inspire other women through her experiences with trauma and public scrutiny.

Dana Whitfield Her memoir sounds like the better way to share what really happened without someone else's editing.

Discovery Loop Reportedly Seeks $50 Billion Valuation Weeks After $10 Billion Round — Sep 11, 2026Discovery Loop, the AI startup founded by ex-Google researchers including Jeff Dean, is pursuing a new funding round at about $50 billion valuation, a rapid leap from roughly $10 billion earlier this year as investor demand surges. Terms are not yet confirmed, and there is no guarantee the deal will close at that valuation, with the company operating as a public-benefit corporation.

Sam Okafor Ex-Google founders probably bring real expertise but this valuation surge on unconfirmed terms makes me question how sustainable the growth can be.

John Hancock raises dividends across five funds, one yielding 9.6% — Sep 2, 2026Five John Hancock funds announced upcoming dividends around Sept. 1: HPS (9.6% yield) and PDT (8.4%) pay on Sept. 30 after a Sept. 11 ex-div date, while JHS yields 5.7% with a Sept. 30 payment and Sept. 11 ex-div date, HTD yields 7.5% with the same dates, and BTO yields 6.7% with a Sept. 30 payout and Sept. 11 ex-div date. The dividend announcements reflect ongoing strategies to provide current income through a mix of dividend-paying equities and fixed-income assets.

Jared Kim HPS at 9.6% is tempting but I always wonder how sustainable those double-digit yields really are long term.

BlackRock funds declare monthly dividends yielding up to 13.2 percent — Sep 10, 2026BlackRock’s funds announced new monthly dividends: BGY will pay 0.0426 per share and yield about 8.8%, BGR 0.0973 per share with roughly 6.6% yield, BLW 0.1132 per share yielding about 11.0%, and BGT 0.1203 per share with an approximate 13.2% yield, with ex-dividend dates set for October 15 and distribution on October 30.

Sam Okafor Yields that high often signal bigger risks like NAV erosion over time, so I'd research the holdings first.

Ecuador Court Sentences Ex-President Bucaram to Nine Years in Medical Supplies Case — Sep 10, 2026Former Ecuadorian president Abdala Bucaram and his son Jacobo were sentenced to nine years and four months in prison for involvement in a pandemic-era corruption scheme tied to the illegal sale of Covid-19 medical supplies, with Bucaram appearing via remote clinic due to heart problems. The two main perpetrators received longer sentences of 13 years and four months, another co-defendant was murdered in prison in 2020, and Bucaram could serve the sentence under house arrest given his age.

Chris Dalton Bucaram's nine-year sentence fits the scale of stealing from pandemic supplies, though house arrest at his age might soften the impact too much.
