Don't begrudge them: Carrigan gives Samoa trio blessing
Australia forward Pat Carrigan wants to play alongside Brisbane teammate Payne Haas for the Kangaroos but will understand if he chooses Samoa instead. Haas, Gold Coast captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Dolphins fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow have all represented Australia but will soon make a decision about whether they link with Samoa for the end-of-season Pacific Championships. The tournament is on at the same time as the Kangaroos' three-Test tour of England. Carrigan was asked if he hoped Haas chose Australia. "I'd hope so, as a fan I'll line him up for us and cheer him on," he said. "Him and (Kevin Walters) have got a good relationship so I'm sure Kev will get into the big fella's ears." Carrigan wants the best Australian team possible to tour but understands if Haas, Fa'asuamaleaui and Tabuai-Fidow honour a part of their heritage that is dear to their hearts. "Everyone has different cultural backgrounds and family experiences," he said. "My love to play for Australia and for my country comes from my parents and their hard work so if those boys feel passionate about representing Pacific Island nations or little countries then so be it, that's their choice and I think it makes for a better product. "I don't begrudge them at all." It is a balancing act that Carrigan said the international game had got right after Samoa made the last World Cup final. "They're elite players in the Australian competition in our game so you want them playing for Australia, but I love where the international game is going," Carrigan said. "The boys represent their culture and their family and gone are the days where you had semi-finals in World Cups where someone was winning by 70 points. "That's where rugby league should be and I think it's only better for our international game if the best players are playing for who they want to play for." The next World Cup will be hosted by Australia and Papua New Guinea next year, If Walters succeeds on the Kangaroo tour he will be a hot favourite to retain the position. Carrigan was coached for four seasons at the Broncos by Walters and said he would make an ideal coach of the national side. "His personality, his charisma, his passion for any jersey that he's ever worn and especially for his country would be massive," Carrigan said. "He knows how to bring the best out in a wide magnitude of players from different backgrounds."

Scott Galloway says the American Dream is now a ‘hallucination' — but has it ever truly been ‘easy' in the US?
Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. Going to an elite school, landing a good job and buying a home may have once seemed like a sure path to achieving the American Dream. But according to Scott Galloway, a renowned marketing professor at NYU's Stern School of Business, that path no longer works. The reason, he explains, is simple: Homes have become so expensive relative to earnings that even graduates with eye-watering salaries can't afford them. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 5 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) You don't have to be a millionaire to gain access to this $1B private real estate fund. In fact, you can get started with as little as $10 — here's how 'When I got out of business school, the average salary was $100,000. I went to a quote-unquote elite business school … The average house in San Francisco cost $280,000, so 2.8 times the MBA salary,' Galloway recounted in a recent appearance on the Jay Shetty Podcast. 'Now, the kids at Haas — still an elite business school, incredible compensation, average $200,000 right out of business school — but the average home in San Francisco is $2.1 million.' In other words, while elite graduates are earning more than previous generations, the sheer surge in home prices has left them far behind. Galloway believes the problem stems from the reluctance of existing homeowners to allow new construction in their neighborhoods. 'As soon as you have a house, you become very concerned with traffic, and you start showing up to local review meetings and making sure no new housing is built, which is great if you already own a home,' he explained. A recent Zillow report estimates the U.S. faces a shortage of 4.7 million homes. Dream, hallucination or fantasy? Galloway has a blunt assessment of the situation. 'I think young people have given up on the American dream of owning a home,' he told Shetty. He pointed out that conditions have shifted dramatically against new homebuyers since the COVID-19 pandemic. 'Pre-pandemic, a house is $290,000. Post-pandemic, it's $420,000. Interest rates [went] from 3% to 7%, [the] average mortgage went from $1,100 to $2,200,' Galloway noted. 'All of a sudden, the American dream has become a hallucination, a fantasy.' Research suggests that over the years, homeownership has indeed become substantially more difficult for Americans. According to a 2024 Zillow study, buyers now need to earn more than $106,000 annually to comfortably afford a typical U.S. home. This calculation assumes spending no more than 30% of income on the monthly mortgage with a 10% down payment. In 2020, that income threshold was only $59,000 — meaning the required earnings have jumped by 80%. Zillow also noted that in 2020, the $59,000 needed to buy a home was actually less than the U.S. median household income of $66,000 at the time. That's no longer the case. Today's required $106,000 is well above the median. 'Housing costs have soared over the past four years as drastic hikes in home prices, mortgage rates and rent growth far outpaced wage gains,' Zillow Senior Economist Orphe Divounguy said in the report. How to get on the real estate ladder — starting with $100 Given these challenges, Galloway noted that for young people, saving for a home today ''is almost impossible.' Yet despite the hurdles, real estate remains a popular investment choice for those looking to hedge against rising living costs. When inflation goes up, property values often climb as well, reflecting the higher costs of materials, labor and land. At the same time, rental income tends to rise, providing landlords with a revenue stream that adjusts with inflation. While buying an entire house may feel out of reach, it's now easier than ever to start investing in real estate thanks to crowdfunding platforms like Arrived. Backed by world class investors like Jeff Bezos, Arrived allows you to invest in shares of rental homes with as little as $100, all without the hassle of mowing lawns, fixing leaky faucets or handling difficult tenants. The process is simple: Browse a curated selection of homes that have been vetted for their appreciation and income potential. Once you find a property you like, select the number of shares you'd like to purchase, and then sit back as you start receiving positive rental income distributions from your investment. Another option is Homeshares, which gives accredited investors access to the $35 trillion U.S. home equity market — a space that's historically been the exclusive playground of institutional investors. With a minimum investment of $25,000, investors can gain direct exposure to hundreds of owner-occupied homes in top U.S. cities through their U.S. Home Equity Fund — without the headaches of buying, owning or managing property. With risk-adjusted target returns ranging from 14% to 17%, this approach provides an effective, hands-off way to invest in owner-occupied residential properties across regional markets. Read more: Rich, young Americans are ditching the stormy stock market — Galloway's simple hack: 'forced savings' With so many enticing products and services vying for consumers' attention, Galloway pointed out that 'it is nearly impossible for a young person to save money if it comes through their hands.' His solution? Something he calls 'forced savings' — money you never see, because it's invested automatically. He specifically mentioned using 'the Acorns app that rounds up and puts the money automatically into a low-cost index fund.' Acorns is a popular app that does exactly that. When you make a purchase on your credit or debit card, Acorns automatically rounds up the price to the nearest dollar and invests the difference — the coins that would wind up in your pocket if you were paying cash — into a diversified portfolio of ETFs. Buying a coffee for $3.40? The app rounds it up to $4 and invests the extra $0.60. Over time, those small amounts can add up — especially if you're consistently spending and saving. It's a simple, set-it-and-forget-it way to build wealth from money you might not even miss — and, if you sign up today, Acorns will add a $20 bonus to help you begin your investment journey.

Ex-wife nabbed in alleged murder-for-hire after beloved UC Berkeley professor gunned down in Greece: ‘Justice will be served'
The former wife of a 'beloved' University of California, Berkeley business professor has been arrested for allegedly arranging to have him killed in Greece, the victim's family told ABC News. Przemyslaw Jeziorski, 43, was in Athens to attend a custody hearing for his two young children earlier this month when a masked gunman shot him five times in the chest and neck at point-blank range outside his ex's home on July 4, the outlet reported. Przemyslaw Jeziorski, 43, a beloved UC Berkeley professor, was gunned down in broad daylight earlier this month. The gunman, who fled after the broad-daylight shooting, has now been identified as Jeziorski's ex-wife's current partner, Greek police said. Advertisement Three other men have also reportedly been arrested in connection with the slaying. Jeziorski was a professor at Berkeley's Haas School of Business for eight years. 'Our family is heartbroken, and we are doing everything we can to ensure that justice is served,' his brother, Lukasz Jeziorski, wrote on the European crowdfunding page WhyDonate. Advertisement 'Przemek was a loving father to two young children and a beloved professor at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. He was a leading scholar in marketing science, industrial organization and data analytics. He loved teaching and sharing his passion for the intricacies of marketing analytics and marketing science with his students.' In the wake of the shooting, Berkeley Haas Dean Jennifer Chatman released a statement calling Jeziorski a 'beloved' member of the 'Haas community.' The Berkeley Haas community said it was 'heartbroken' upon learning of the news of Jeziorski's death. JOHN G MABANGLO/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock 'We are heartbroken by news of the tragic and sudden death of Professor Przemyslaw Jeziorski, a beloved member of our marketing faculty and Haas community,' Chatman wrote in the statement provided to ABC 7. Advertisement Professor Zsolt Katona, a close colleague, described the father of two as an 'outstanding scholar.' 'I have learned about the news that the Greek police made arrests in Przemek's case. I trust that the investigators will continue to work diligently and justice will be served,' Katona said in a follow-up statement to the outlet. 'At this point, our main priority should be to give all assistance to Przemek's brother to ensure his children's well-being.' Advertisement Before joining the Haas faculty as an assistant professor of marketing in 2012, Jeziorski studied at the SGH Warsaw School of Economics, the University of Arizona, the University of Chicago, and Stanford University, as listed on his website. He also previously taught at Johns Hopkins University and was a research intern at Microsoft. The highly accredited professor's research focused on quantitative marketing, industrial organization, antitrust and regulation, digital marketing and financial technology. Jeziorski's work has been published in several acclaimed academic journals, including Marketing Science, Management Science, and the RAND Journal of Economics.

Berkeley professor's ex-wife arrested in connection with his murder in Greece
Greek authorities arrested the ex-wife of a UC Berkeley professor in connection with his murder in Athens earlier this month. Marketing professor Przemyslaw Jeziorski was fatally shot July 4 in the Agia Paraskevi district of Athens, authorities told Greek media outlet To Vima. Jeziorski, 43, was shot five times as he was walking to his ex-wife's home to see their children. Authorities arrested his ex-wife and three additional suspects in connection with the shooting, police told the news outlet. The San Francisco Chronicle and Greek news outlets identified the ex-wife as Nadia Michelidaki. The tenured professor taught economics at the Berkeley Haas School for 13 years and was born in Poland, according to UC Berkeley. Greece's Hellenic Police announced the arrests on Wednesday. The unidentified suspects were described as two Albanian nationals and a Bulgarian man. Authorities said the suspects drove another man, who was Jeziorski's ex-wife's companion, to the neighborhood and provided the companion with an automatic handgun. The suspect shot Jeziorski five times and he died at the scene, police said. His ex-wife is a Greek national and the two were in the middle of a difficult custody dispute over their children, Hellenic Police told the news outlet. Jeziorski was an expert in quantitative marketing, industrial organization and the economics of digital markets, according to UC Berkeley. 'Przemek was one of the most — if not the most — knowledgeable experts on empirical analysis in marketing in the world, so this is a tremendous loss to the field and to Haas,' professor Miguel Villas-Boas said in a statement. 'He was generous with his time, extremely caring about the Haas community, courageous to tackle important problems, full of grace and gentleness, and a loving father.' He is survived by his mother, brother and two children.

Michael Schumacher's son Mick in talks over ‘incredible' F1 return after three years
Scroll down to see who the other candidates are TAKING THE MICK Michael Schumacher's son Mick in talks over 'incredible' F1 return after three years MICK SCHUMACHER has confirmed he is in talks to return to F1 with newcomers Cadillac. The son of legendary F1 driver Michael Schumacher could make a comeback next season having not raced in the sport since leaving Haas in 2022. 1 Mick Schumacher could return to F1 with Cadillac next season Credit: Getty He has also been a reserve driver for both Mercedes and McLaren - but was replaced by Valtteri Bottas as Merc driver at the end of last season. New General Motors-backed team Cadillac will be on the grid for the first time from 2026 and are finalising their line-up. The 26-year-old said: "Yes, of course, discussions are ongoing. The communication has been very positive so far. "They've already hired a fantastic number of people for it [the project]. It's an honour to be part of it, to negotiate with them, and a great position to be in." Ex-Red Bull driver Sergio Perez and Bottas are thought to be the favourites for the two Cadillac seats. But team boss Graeme Lowdon remains a huge admirer of Schumacher - who currently drives in the World Endurance Championship with Alpine. During him time in F1, Schumacher started 43 races. His best placing was a sixth place finish, while he only finished in the points twice. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Lowdon has also confirmed that "positive" discussions with Schumacher had taken place while on the High Performance podcast. He said: "Yeah, we're talking to Mick." Comedian given death stare after bodychecking Lewis Hamilton at F1 He also added on Sky Deutschland: "Mick is great. He's a very nice guy, I like him a lot. I've got to know him better now. "He's still young, but he already has F1 experience. Of course, that was a while ago, but he's kept himself up to date. "We really like that. We really like that. He is no stranger to the team. He knows where we stand. There are some positive things to say about Mick. "He is clearly one of the drivers on the list. But I should also say that the list is quite long." Lowdon has also previously confirmed that talks with Bottas have taken place. The Cadillac boss wants the team to make a statement in their first year and not just make up the numbers. He said: "Everyone wants to prove something else again. I never look at that as the biggest motivator. "Our team is not there as a vehicle for someone to prove a point. Our team is there to provide a position on the pitch, if you like. "For someone to prove what they can do for sure, but it's not the vehicle to show the world, prove a point, or whatever. "The driver is there to do the best that they possibly can for their team, and they should be motivated for the team around them as well. So, I'm less keen on people who kind of want to prove a personal point." When asked about the prospect of Perez joining the cause, Lowdon did not rule it out. He added: "Every single person, every name that you're going to read out, we're talking to everyone because everyone wants the drive."
