New York CNN —Edwin Moses always loved the sport of track and field. For nine years, nine months and nine days Moses was unbeaten in races, winning 122 in a row. Moses’ journey on and off the field is chronicled in the new documentary, “Moses – 13 Steps,” produced by Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman. Danny Harris (right) crosses the finish line first to beat Moses (left) in the 400m hurdle race in 1987 to end Moses' 122-race winning run. If I’d have gone to name the school and name the track program with all the best coaches and everything, there would have never been no Edwin Moses.

The closing price for DJT took extra time to pinpoint, as high trading volume resulted in delayed settling. The lockup agreement first took effect when Trump Media went public in March, following a merger with a blank-check firm called Digital World Acquisition Corp., or DWAC. Trump, whose 114,750,000 share stake in Trump Media was worth $1.5 billion at Friday’s close, said last week that he would not sell his shares when the restrictions lifted. Trump Media on Friday closed at its lowest closing level since debuting on the Nasdaq in March, closing the day at a price of $13.55 per share. ET, when the share price dropped to $13.50 — a level not seen since July 2023, when the stock was still DWAC.

In a LinkedIn post on Thursday, Ernst & Young India chairman Rajiv Memani acknowledged Augustine’s letter and said he was “deeply saddened” by what had happened. “This is a systemic issue that goes beyond individual managers or teams,” Augustine wrote. So for many on social media, Perayil’s death was also an indictment of the broader work culture in India, where young job seekers face fierce competition. “Like many in her position, she did not have the experience or the agency to draw boundaries or push back against unreasonable demands,” Augustine wrote.

Unlike ESPN+, this service will have all of ESPN's content, including Monday Night Football games and shows like "First Take."

Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump looks on during a rally at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, in Uniondale, New York, U.S., September 18, 2024. Shares of Trump Media sank more than 7% Friday morning, hitting a new 52-week low one day after "lockup" restrictions expired, which had previously prevented its majority shareholder, former President Donald Trump, and other early investors from selling their shares. The lockup agreement first took effect when Trump Media went public in March, following a merger with a blank-check firm. The company has acknowledged in regulatory filings that the end of the lockup could spur large sales of the company's stock, which trades under the ticker "DJT." But even if insiders weren't the ones selling, the company has said that a perception by the markets that a sell-off was underway might drive down DJT's stock price.

Ryan Reynolds' storytelling abilities aren't just a quirky element of his public persona — they're the bedrock foundation of his success across multiple industries, he says.

Multiple of Reynolds' posts went viral, and "Deadpool" grossed $782.6 million in box office sales against a $58 million budget, according to IMDB-owned Box Office Mojo. Mint Mobile's parent company, Ka'ena Corporation, was similarly purchased for up to $1.35 billion by T-Mobile last year.

Centessa Pharmaceuticals could be at the forefront of a leading narcolepsy treatment that can send its shares soaring, according to Morgan Stanley. One of the company's drugs is ORX750 for the treatment of sleep-wake disorders, including narcolepsy type 1 and 2, or NT1 and NT2. Additionally, Centessa is developing ORX142 for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness, or EDS, in certain neurological, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. The drug is designed to increase wakefulness, reduce cataplexy and potentially be a novel treatment for narcolepsy type 1.
