Nicole Hardy Raising capital ahead of the Q3 loss and tax hits looks like a proactive move to stabilize things and return to profitability.

Boise State's 'Shout' dance fires up Oregon before rivalry win — Sep 6, 2026Boise State joined Oregon’s long-running Autzen Stadium tradition by dancing to the Isley Brothers’ 'Shout' during the fourth-quarter lull, a move that irked Oregon players but did not prevent the Ducks from rallying behind Dante Moore for a 62-yard game-winning touchdown. The incident highlighted the clash over Autzen’s famous pre- fourth-quarter ritual, with Boise State coach Spencer Danielson saying the team had been practicing the move to boost momentum and Oregon players viewing it as a distraction that they turned into motivation.

Derek Foss Gotta respect Danielson trying something different, but Moore and that offense made them pay for it.

Dana Whitfield Fresno State's second quarter explosion really put this game out of reach early.

The inventory-to-sales ratio hovered around roughly 1.2, and the year-over-year rise reached about 5.7%, a signal that the restocking pace could support GDP growth in the third quarter.

Analysts see continued headwinds from tight monetary policy and limited momentum in services and industry ahead of the October election.

Derek Foss Agriculture keeps saving the numbers while regular families feel none of it in their wallets. High rates are crushing consumption.

Bending Spoons agrees to acquire Miro for $1.355 billion — 6dBending Spoons S.p.A. has agreed to acquire Miro in an all-cash deal valuing Miro at an enterprise value of $1.355 billion, which, with Miro’s net cash, implies about $1.79 billion in equity, with some shareholders reinvesting $295 million into BSP equity; closing is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026 subject to regulatory approvals.
