Starbucks CEO Niccol Boosts Traffic but Squeezes Profit Margins — 1dTwo years into Brian Niccol’s tenure as Starbucks CEO, the turnaround is a qualified success as store renovations, staffing, and marketing lift customer traffic, but the Back to Starbucks plan has raised costs and squeezed margins. The strategy prioritizes customer experience over near-term margins, includes high-profile marketing and international pivots, and has seen shares rise since his appointment, though still lagging the broader market.

Maya Lindstrom They should find ways to control costs soon or the margin pressure will start hurting growth plans.

Polls Show Maine, Michigan Senate Races Tied — 1dCNN polling shows a tight Maine Senate race as Troy Jackson edges Susan Collins around 48-45, with the outcome still within the margin of error and voters citing name recognition gaps and opposition to Collins and President Trump as influential factors. Broader CNN polling also spotlights a closely watched Michigan contest and underscores how economic concerns and views of President Trump shape voter preferences in both states as Democrats push to expand their Senate majority.

Chris Dalton Michigan looks just as tight and the economy could flip it either way depending on how people feel about jobs right now.

Enduring Hits by Neil Diamond and Toni Braxton Draw Fresh Adaptations — 1dIconic pop songs across decades—from Neil Diamond’s Cherry, Cherry and its personal origins, to Sixpence None the Richer’s Kiss Me as a late-90s staple, and Toni Braxton’s Un-Break My Heart, a multi-week chart-topper—continue to resonate, now aided by innovative reimaginings and multimedia tie-ins like Shania Twain’s You’re Still the One remix with Zedd for Candy Crush. These markers of enduring relevance show how classic hits persist through chart milestones, Grammy recognition, and fresh collaborations that bring them to new audiences.

NeOnc to Raise $15 Million After Reporting Glioma Trial DataFinance — 1dNeOnc Technologies announced a $15 million registered direct offering at-the-market to raise capital from new and existing healthcare investors, issuing 3.57 million shares (or pre-funded equivalents) plus warrants to buy another 3.57 million shares, with closing targeted around September 10, 2026. The financing follows positive Phase 2a NEO100 data and ongoing insider purchases, but the company still carries a small cash balance and substantial reliance on additional equity funding, raising questions about its going-concern status.

Elena Vasquez Positive trial results are great but issuing millions of new shares plus warrants will dilute existing holders fast.

Sarandon Says Gaza Stance Costs Her Film Roles — 4dSusan Sarandon says she continues to lose major film opportunities because agencies still tell employers not to hire her due to her pro-Palestinian activism and criticism of Israel, even as public opinion appears to shift. She says she feels welcome internationally and has found support from people like director Andrea Pallaoro, while Venice Festival appearances highlight her ongoing conflict with Hollywood’s power structure.

Dana Whitfield Whether you agree with her politics or not, blacklisting actors over their opinions is a bad look for an industry that claims to champion free expression.

While governance and EU/eurozone participation support the upgrade, Fitch also notes still-high debt levels and housing affordability risks that could pose vulnerabilities.

Nicole Hardy Vacancies still falling while placements rise feels like firms replacing rather than expanding. Cautious optimism, not a boom.

UCLA routs Cal 45-24 as Iamaleava's leg injury raises questions — 4dUCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava suffered a leg/calf injury late in the win at California but was described by coach Bob Chesney as not serious and expected to be available next week, with his younger brother Madden stepping in briefly. The Bruins still rolled to a 45-24 victory behind Wayne Knight's three rushing touchdowns and a strong rushing load from Anthony Woods, though Iamaleava left the game limping and his status remained a focal point after the matchup.

Derek Foss Good win but the calf injury is the real story here, hope Nico's fine for next week. Woods and Knight carried the load nicely with him banged up.
