What's still developing
- The pressure is mounting in the castle as the celebrity players face another crucial decision.
- This is why the final decisions are so important: even when the prize fund has been secured, the remaining players cannot assume that everyone sitting beside them is playing honestly.
- Investors also prepared for a week of major technology earnings and a Federal Reserve policy decision.
- "I made my decision over a week ago," Mikayla wrote on Instagram Sept.
- In a decision released by the FCC's media bureau on Thursday, the commission said it was waiving the 25% cap on foreign equity ownership and said individual investors could own up to 20% of the equity.
- It also said foreign investors can have no voting stock and "will not have any influence, direction, or control over or provide any commentary or guidance on Paramount’s content decisions, company management," or access to non-public data on US citizens.
- Paramount praised the approval and said it followed a review by a US government committee of national security officials known as "Team Telecom" after ensuring that foreign investors will not have access to personal data of US citizens.

- No decision has been made as to who will start against Nebraska.
- This is good news for European indices, since Europe and the UK are tech-lite, but it is weighing heavily on Asian markets and the Nasdaq is pointing to a lower open later today.
