Under Armour's UA Halo Collection Highlights the Speed in Us All
There's no need to be a trained runner to enjoy life in the fast Armour's latest campaign is an ode to the every day athlete; it's all about personalizing the running experience, and the new Halo collection supports you all along the way. You don't need a smartwatch and all of the latest gadgets to reach new PRs; your confidence and supportive running shoes like theUA Halo Racercan take you all the way. The 'I Run, But I'm Not a Runner' campaign enlisted dedicated individuals who share a passion for running, but are not all professional or habitual runners. Photographer Kyle Flores often runs to get the perfect shot, while Hideout Coffee Bar cofounder Asmine says, 'I run the coffee bar, not marathons. Running is not my favourite thing to do, but I do it as part of my training.' The sports lifestyle brand highlights the UA Halo throughout this campaign, a running shoe that's as stylish and fresh as it is comfortable. It comes in a few different colorways: white, red, all-black and a striking red and black. The shoe is available in three versions: the racer, runner and trainer, and is crafted using HOVR+ cushioning foam so you can build momentum and speed as you move towards the finish line. Symmetry and balance characterize the line, so each Halo offering is meant to keep you equally light on your feet while also providing reinforcement. A midsole cradle with ample give helps you maintain balance and reach new heights with every step. Other tech aspects include a TPU spring plate for additional support and impact absorption, and a durable rubber outsole for traction and rebound on both smooth and rougher road surfaces. Whether you're a daily runner setting out to shatter your own records or a business owner or creative, like those featured in the campaign, the UA Halo Racer helps you move towards your goals fiercely.

Pink goes sophisticated in this Topsfield kitchen refresh
2 The slightly iridescent, glossy finish of the ceramic tile backsplash brightens the space, while the soft gray grout sets off the tiles' imperfect edges. White quartz that replaced the black granite countertops on the perimeter does the same. 'Polished surfaces reflect the room's small amount of natural light,' Armour says.

Trump Media Files for Third Crypto ETF
Cronos, XRP and Solana have entered the chat. Trump Media filed last week with the Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a new fund, the Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETF, which would primarily hold Bitcoin but also Ether, Solana, Cronos and XRP. Its fees have not been disclosed, but the crypto exchange platform is slated to act as the fund's digital custodian. The move is the latest foray by President Trump's media company into the increasingly deregulated, and saturated, world of crypto products. READ ALSO: Vanguard Expands Fixed-Income Menu with 3 Treasury ETFs and Tariff Fallout Hasn't Hit Markets Yet. Issuers Say That Could Change The filing taps into increased demand for cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin, said Bryan Armour, Morningstar's director of ETF and passive strategies research. 'As more cryptocurrencies are approved for spot ETFs generally, I think there will be more appetite and significant product development around an indexed version of multiple cryptocurrencies,' he said, 'so my guess is they'll appear in different ways.' The problem is that Solana, XRP and Cronos aren't yet available to trade as spot funds, which has slowed the launch of index-type crypto ETFs, Armour said. That leaves little room for Trump Media's other two ETFs to differentiate themselves from existing funds. It's only a matter of time until the SEC's approval of additional currencies opens the door for new players, however. 'It's a more level playing field because they'll be starting alongside other asset managers and there's potential to differentiate,' Armour said. '[Cronos] has a significant overweight, but that might appeal to some investors to get that type of mix.' Trump Media, which operates Trump's Truth Social platform, has now filed for three strategies with the SEC: The Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETF would have 70% of its assets allocated to Bitcoin, with 15%, 8%, 5% and 2% going to Ether, Solana, Cronos and XRP, respectively. The Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF would have 75% of its assets allocated to Bitcoin and 25% to Ether. The Truth Social Bitcoin ETF would be a spot Bitcoin ETF, aiming to serve as a Bitcoin reserve for the US government. The Blue Chip version will allocate about 5% of its holdings to Cronos — a currency developed by an affiliate of the fund's custodian, Foris DAX Trust Company. That's of particular note, Armour said, because the product should have a 1% allocation based on market cap. Name Brand? The main force behind Trump Media's crypto ETFs at present is the Trump name itself, which may not be enough, said Roxanna Islam, head of sector and industry research at VettaFi. 'They do appeal more to Trump fans or people that are anti-mainstream financial issuers. But that can only go so far,' she said, adding that fees will also play a role. 'Will they even remotely catch up? It's hard to say, because they're over a year behind.' This post first appeared on The Daily Upside.

Past winners of U.S. Opens at Oakmont include several of golf's biggest names
Past winners of U.S. Opens at Oakmont include several of golf's biggest names Oakmont Country Club near Pittsburgh will host its 10th U.S. Open on June 12-15, and it has produced several big-name winners in past tournaments including Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus and Dustin Johnson. Originally designed by Henry Fownes and opened in 1903, the private Oakmont has seen numerous renovations over the decades, most recently by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner in 2023. Oakmont was rated in 2024 by Golfweek's Best as No. 6 among all classic courses in the United States. It is widely considered to be among the most difficult golf courses in the world, with green speeds that sometimes have to be slowed down for a U.S. Open. The total par at Oakmont has changed over the years, and that is reflected in the winning scores in the previous nine U.S. Opens there. Never a pushover, it's still one of the few courses in the world where a winning score can be over par, especially when the course plays firm and fast. Besides the U.S. Open, Oakmont also hosted three PGA Championships (1922 won by Gene Sarazen, 1951 won by Sam Snead and 1978 won by John Mahaffey). It hosted the U.S. Women's Open twice (1992 won by Patty Sheehan and 2010 won by Paula Creamer) as well as six U.S. Amateurs. Keep scrolling to see each of the winners of previous U.S. Opens at Oakmont. U.S. Open 1927 winner Tommy Armour Winning score: 78-71-76-76–301 (+13) Second place: Harry Cooper 301 (+13) 18-hole playoff: Armour 76, Cooper 79 Winner's prize: $500 Of note: Armour made a 10-foot birdie putt on the final hole of regulation to force a playoff, then birdied the first hole of a playoff that was fought tooth and nail for 15 holes until Cooper made double-bogey on the par-3 16th to give Armour a two-shot lead that he wouldn't relinquish. U.S. Open 1935 winner Sam Parks Jr. Winning score: 77-73-73-76–299 (+11) Second place: Jimmy Thomson 301 (+13) Winner's prize: $1,000 Of note: Parks was a 25-year-old club pro at nearby South Hills Country Club with no prior professional wins. Parks played a practice round at Oakmont every day for a month in preparation. Parks led after three rounds and tied for the lowest round of the final day among the top contenders. U.S. Open 1953 winner Ben Hogan Winning score: 67-72-73-71–283 (-5) Second place: Sam Snead 289 (+1) Winner's prize: $5,000 Of note: Hogan led by three shots after the opening round and maintained the lead after both the second and third rounds. Hogan led Snead by a shot entering the final round, but Snead couldn't keep pace and closed in 76. It was Hogan's fourth and final U.S. Open title. Hogan had won the Masters earlier that year, and he added the British Open later that summer to become the only man to have won all three titles in one year. Hogan skipped the PGA Championship that year because it conflicted with the British Open on the calendar, preventing Hogan an opportunity at the modern professional Grand Slam. U.S. Open 1962 winner Jack Nicklaus Winning score: 72-70-72-69–283 (-1) Second place: Arnold Palmer 283 (-1) 18-hole playoff: Nicklaus 71, Palmer 74 Winner's prize: $17,500 Of note: This Open marked a seismic shift in the game, with a young titan unseating the King. The 22-year-old Nicklaus was the underdog, and the Pennsylvania-born Palmer had a strong local following. Palmer bogeyed the first in the 18-hole playoff and couldn't keep pace on the front nine, falling three shots behind at the turn and unable to mount a charge on the back nine. U.S. Open 1973 winner Johnny Miller Winning score: 71-69-76-63–279 (-5) Second place: John Schlee 280 (-4) Winner's prize: $35,000 Of note: Miller started the final round six shots back of a four-way tie for first that included Arnold Palmer, Julius Boros, Schlee and Jerry Heard. Also in front of him was Tom Weiskopf, Lee Trevino, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus, among others. Miller's closing 63 set a tournament scoring record that was matched half a dozen times but not surpassed until Rickie Fowler shot a 62 at Los Angeles Country Club in 2023 that was matched later that same day by Xander Schauffele. U.S. Open 1983 winner Larry Nelson Winning score: 75-73-65-67–280 (-4) Second place: Tom Watson 281 (-3) Winner's prize: $72,000 Of note: Nelson charged into contention in the third round, playing his final 14 holes Saturday in 7 under par to get within a shot of co-leaders Watson and Seve Ballesteros. Ballesteros faltered midway through the final round, playing the closing 12 holes in 5 over. Watson held a three-shot lead at -6 at the turn in the final round, but he played the back nine in 3 over while Nelson came home in 1 under par on the back nine to grab the title. U.S. Open 1994 winner Ernie Els Winner's score: 69-71-66-73–279 (-5) Second place: Colin Montgomerie, Loren Roberts 279 (-5) Winner's prize: $320,000 Playoff: Els 74, Roberts 74, Montgomerie 78 Of note: In sudden death – just the second sudden death playoff in U.S. Open history – Els and Roberts both parred the first hole (No. 10), then Els parred the second (No. 11) and Roberts made bogey from a greenside bunker. Els was just 24 years old for this victory, his first of four in major championships and also his first of 19 victories on the PGA Tour. U.S. Open 2007 winner Angel Cabrera Winning score: 69-71-76-69–285 (+5) Second place: Jim Furyk, Tiger Woods +6 286 Winner's prize: $1,260,000 Of note: Tied with Woods for the lead halfway through the final round, Cabrera shot even par on the back nine with two birdies against two bogeys to hold off Woods and Furyk. Woods, in particular, ran a bit cold in the final round, making just one birdie in shooting a 2-over 72. U.S. Open 2016 winner Dustin Johnson Winning score: 67-69-71-69–276 (-4) Second place: Jim Furyk, Shane Lowry, Scott Piercy 279 (-1) Winner's prize: $1,800,000 Of note: Johnson entered the final round four shots behind Lowry, but Lowry made seven bogeys in the final round and Johnson passed him midway through the back nine. After several close calls in major championships, this was Johnson's first victory on one of the game's biggest stages. The victory wasn't without some controversy, however, as Johnson was the recipient of a favorable ruling on No. 5 in the final round – he had approached his ball to putt and the ball moved, but Johnson told the rules official he had not addressed the shot and was allowed to continue without penalty.
