Caitlyn Jenner "Sports Illustrated" Cover Celebrates "40 Years After Gold"


CAITLYN JENNER TO POSE NUDE FOR SPORTS ILLUSTRATED

Caitlyn Jenner is gracing the front page of yet another magazine. Sports Illustrated will be featuring Caitlyn Jenner on the June 8 cover in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Jenners 1976 Olympic gold medal win. Associated Press named Jenner 1976 Male Athlete of the Year following the Olympic win.

Caitlyns story is, of course, unique in that she transformed from the famous Bruce Jenner last year into the current Caitlyn Jenner and is, if possible, even more famous than before. Even before that, she led a very interesting life as the stepfather to the ultra popular Kardashians and husband to Kris Jenner. Sports Illustrated wants to celebrate her achievements, not only from the Montreal Olympic Games, but for everything Caitlyn has achieved in the last 40 years, and most notably in the last 12 months, reports People magazine.

Chris Stone, Managing Editor of Sports Illustrated, says the rumors running rampant that Caitlyn Jenner will pose n**e, wrapped in an American flag, are absolutely untrue. While shots were taken with the American flag, Caitlyn was not n**e in any of these photos, and the cover photo was not chosen from those pictures.

We go into these shoots with an open mind and allow our photographers to explore these stories. Forty years ago, Caitlyn Jenner offered one of the great athletic feats in modern era. We needed an image that connects both who Caitlyn Jenner is now and what she accomplished 40 years ago as Bruce Jenner, and the image that you see on the cover next week reflects that.

According to the Mercury News, Paul Fichtenbaum, the group editor for Sports Illustrated, says their desire is to honor Caitlyn Jenner for her achievements, both past and present.

We are excited to bring a fresh perspective to one of the greatest athletic performances of all-time. Obviously, so much has transpired since the 76 Olympic games weve got multi-dimensional content that fans will enjoy across any platform they choose.

The digital documentary will be available to stream at no charge on the Sports Illustrated website, beginning on June 6.

NBC News reports that in the documentary, Jenner is filmed making stops from her Olympic days. Some of these sites include special places such as the University of Oregon, where she qualified for the 1972 Olympics, and San Jose City College, the spot where her 1976 Olympic training took place.

The following video shows some clips from 40 Years After Gold.

Caitlyn Jenner has come a long way in the past year. A related report by the Inquisitr notes that in the year since her reveal as Caitlyn on the Vanity Fair cover, she has no regrets. In fact, she calls it the best year of my life.

It appears that Caitlyn Jenner, though always famous and popular with fans both from the Olympic days and the Keeping Up With the Kardashians times, has finally become her own fan. Now that she is living life as she sees fit, she is happier than ever.

Elizabeth Warren auditions for VP in Cincinnati: Ohio Politics Roundup


Elizabeth Warren DESTROYS Donald Trump During ACS Convention

Elizabeth Warren steps onto the campaign trail in the all-important Buckeye State. Donald Trump plans his first visit in months. And Vice President Joe Biden will do more than raise money for Ted Strickland when he comes to Cleveland. Read more in Ohio Politics Roundup.

Countdown to Cleveland: Only 20 days until the Republican National Convention begins. What do locals hope visitors learn about the Forest City? The Plain Dealer"s Susan Glaser posed the question to participants in the RNC"s "Faces of Cleveland" welcome campaign.

The Warren Way: Tis the season for vice presidential chatter. And nothing quite fans the flames like an appearance with the presumptive nominee in a critical battleground state.

Such was the case Monday when Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts senator and a hero on the left, campaigned for the first time with Democrat Hillary Clinton in Cincinnati.

Warren reportedly is on Clinton"s shortlist. As cleveland.com"s Jeremy Pelzer writes from the Queen City, she "fulfilled a key role a Democratic running matewill have to play this year: repeatedly going on the attack against Trump. "Donald Trump says he"ll make America great again. It"s right there, stamped on the front of his goofy hat. You want to see goofy? Look at him in that hat," Warren said, referring to Trump"s repeated tweets calling her "goofy.""

Some strikes against Warren: She "doesn"t bring any demographic or generational diversity to the ticket,comes from a solidly Democratic state in presidential elections," and hasn"t been close with Clinton over the years, the team at the Cincinnati Enquirer observes.

Then there"s the bigger-picture political risk in picking Warren. Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, a Republican, would pick Warren"s short-term successor. Democrats have a shot at reclaiming the Senate this fall and probably can"t afford to elevate any senator from a state where the GOP controls the replacement process. This logic also applies to Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, a progressive who under different circumstances might be the ideal choice for Clinton.

Speaking of Warren successors and the veepstakes ... Pelzer notes that Clinton offered a shout-out Monday to Richard Cordray, the former Ohio attorney general whom President Barack Obama appointed to succeed Warren as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

There has been small but noticeable effort in recent days to promote Cordray as a vice presidential prospect. Hard to tell who, precisely, is behind it. But several Ohio Democrats are calling attention to a Minneapolis Star-Tribune op-ed, written by a law professor who is familiar with Cordray"s work in Washington. It all has the feel of a weak trial balloon.

Republicans ready to pounce: "The Republican National Committee is planning to cleave liberal voters away from Hillary Clinton as part of a campaign to counteract her forthcoming pick of a vice presidential running mate," the Huffington Post"s Sam Stein reports.

"In a detailed memo outlining its strategy to combat Clinton"s VP choice, the committee says it will frame the selection as both a cynical play to certain constituencies and as an emotional letdown for voters who backed" Sanders, the Vermont senator, in the primaries.

"Titled "Project Pander," the RNC"s strategy memo also reveals which candidates the committee views as most likely to be selected. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), HUD Secretary Julian Castro and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) occupy the top tier; Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Labor Secretary Thomas Perez and Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) are in the second."

As for the sitting VP ... Vice President Joe Biden has added a stop to his Thursday schedule in Cleveland, cleveland.com"s Sabrina Eaton reports. Biden already had been set to attend a fundraiser for Ted Strickland, who is running to unseat Republican Sen. Rob Portman. Now Biden also will speak at the Cleveland Clinic"s Langston Hughes Center.

Long time, no see: Trump will return to Ohio tonight for the first time since the Buckeye State"s March primary. The wealthy New Yorker will hold a rally in St. Clairsville, part of the Eastern Ohio ring of white, working-class voters that could turn out big for him in the fall.

The region also is in the heart of Ohio"s coal country, a key battleground in the Senate race between Portman and Strickland. Trump"s new Ohio director, Bob Paduchik, managed Portman"s 2010 campaign and once worked for a "clean coal" organization.

Counting her Monday visit, Clinton has been in the state three times in two weeks. Trump will be back again next week for a Cincinnati fundraiser, the Enquirer"s Chrissie Thompson reports.

Long time, no see, Part II: Former President George W. Bush will headline a private fundraiser for Portman in August at Cincinnati"s Great American Ballpark, the Enquirer"s Jason Williams reports. Portman served in several high-profile roles during Bush"s administration.

More camp from the Strickland camp: Strickland"s team is out with a new web video today, part of a digital series that pokes fun at Portman"s relatively low name-recognition. About a third of respondents in a recent poll said they didn"t know enough to have an opinion of him.

"The Least Known Man in Ohio" parodies Dos Equis" "Most Interesting Man in the World" ads. "I don"t always abandon the Constitution," an actor costumed as Portman says in the latest edition. "But when I do, it"s to let Donald Trump reshape the Supreme Court for generations."

You can see the ad here.

Meanwhile ... "A conservative super PAC says it is dropping another $2.7 million on a new negative ad campaign" aimed at Strickland, cleveland.com"s Pelzer reports.

"The ad, from the Koch Brothers-funded Freedom Partners Action Fund, hits Strickland on his economic record as governor of Ohio. It includes claims ... that [Strickland] left the governor"s office with 89 cents in the state"s rainy-day fund and a $6 billion budget shortfall."

John Kasich goes to bat for NRCC: "I"m reaching out to you today regarding a very serious issue," the Ohio governor and former Republican presidential candidate, writes in a fundraising pitch emailed Monday by the National Republican Congressional Committee."Nancy Pelosi has her sights set on becoming Speaker again," Kasich adds. "It seemed nearly impossible just a few months ago, but now our Republican majority in Congress is in danger."

The email is the latest example of the how Kasich is trying to carve out a role for himself in a Trump-led GOP. The governor hopes to be helpful when it comes to broader party-building interests but isn"t likely to have much, if any, supportive role in the Trump campaign.

More signals that Kasich won"t speak at the convention: As we"ve noted before, a prominent role for Kasich at the convention is likely contingent on him endorsing Trump.

"We have not asked for a speaking slot and have zero expectations of receiving one," John Weaver, who served as chief strategist on Kasich"s presidential campaign, tells the Guardian"s Ben Jacobs. "Governor Kasich will have a full schedule of events around the convention aimed at helping Republicans keep control of Congress and winning down ballot. Of course, this will be on top of his responsibilities as governor in regard to security issues in Cleveland."

Dump Trump descends on Cleveland: "Anti-Donald Trump forces will be sending an "advance team" to Cleveland this week to begin preparing their effort to strip the Republican presidential nomination from Donald Trump," Politico"s Kyle Cheney reports.

"In a Sunday night conference call with allies around the country, the leaders of the effort described a slow-building organization that would begin setting up a command center outside the arena where the Republican National Convention will be held next month."

A convention supergroup: CQ Roll Call is joining with cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer for joint coverage during the GOP convention. "We"ll have an army of reporters on the ground that week, and Roll Call"s expertise and access to newsmakers will be a huge boost to the coverage we plan," Chris Quinn, our vice president of content, said in Monday"s announcement.

Texas abortion case has Ohio implications: "The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected a law in Texas that would have shuttered many of the state"s abortion clinics by restricting their operations," cleveland.com"s Eaton writes. "The decision is likely to thwart restrictions imposed by Ohio and other states that clinic operators insist are meant to stop abortions. ...

"Ohio Right to Life PresidentMike Gonidakis said his organization is reviewing the Supreme Court"s decision. ... He believes the state"s law might be safe because it imposes the same standards on all ambulatory care facilities, whether they perform abortions or laser eye surgery."

Monday"s decision, Eaton writes, "has emboldened activists who will use it to challenge restrictions that threaten to close several abortion clinics in Ohio."

Iceland Keeps Winning, and Newly Famous Icelandic Announcer Might Not Survive The Excitement


England v Iceland 1-2 | "Hodgson Is a Fraud!" | Roy Hodgson Resigns
Iceland"s supporters are pictured ahead of the Euro 2016 group F football match between Iceland and Hungary at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille on June 18, 2016.

In what"s being hailed as a huge upset, tiny Iceland defeateda talented but chronically underperformingEnglish side to advance to the quarterfinals of the 2016 European Championship. And the excitement might be too much for Icelandic announcer Gummi Ben.

This impassioned squealing, according to Twitter user Gissur Simonarson CN,translates to:

This is done! This is done! We are never going home! Did you see that?! Did you see that?! Amazing! I cant believe it! This is a dream. Never wake me up from this amazing dream!Live the way you want England. Iceland is going to play France on Sunday. France Iceland! You can go home! You can go out of Europe! You can go wherever the h**l you want! England 1, Iceland 2 is the closing score here in Nice! And the fairytale continues!

While the odds, at 13/2, weren"t as steep as the the odds Peru faced (15/2) in its upset over Brazil in the Copa America Centenario earlier this month, English melodramacombined with some very real numerical disadvantages for Icelandearned this win comparisons to Leicester City"s shocking Championship run in the Premier League, in which they overcame 5,000-to-1 odds to win the title.The global media covered Leicester"s surreal rise with the appropriate rhapsody, and deemed the teams championship win the greatest underdog story of all time. So how does Iceland"s win stack up?

Injured Belgian international, Manchester City star, and soccer analyst Vincent Kompany called the win bigger than Leicester.

That"s a point that"s up for debate, but here are a few facts that support Iceland"s case.

Besides Tahiti, who qualified for the 2013 Confederation"s Cup, Iceland is the smallest country ever to qualify for a major soccer tournament, as Eric Betts wrote in Slate. Iceland"s manager, Heimir Hallgrimsson, still occasionally works as a dentistat his practice. Most importantly, not only does the population of the entire country of Iceland roughly equal that of Leicester City, but Iceland cant buy players from other countries to represent them as club teams can. They only have so many men to choose from. But, boy, did those men perform.

Englands Wayne Rooney converted a penalty shot just four minutes into the game to give the favorites the lead, but less than two minutes later, Ragnar Sigurdsson slid a shot past England keeper Joe Hart to equalize. Fifteen minutes later, Kolbeinn Sigthorsson rocketed a shot to the lower right hand corner that Hart got a piece of before it trickled across the line. You can watch the goals here:

Keep calm and diversify: Experts share their post-Brexit advice


History Will Show Brexit Outcome "Colossal" Mistake | Squawk Box | CNBC

Investors are feeling skittish, after the Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 hit their lowest levels since March.

But Scott Hanson, senior partner and founding principal at Hanson McClain, told CNBC"s "Brexit: Facing the Fallout" special report that investors should take a "step back and realize that if they have a balanced portfolio, not all their money is getting hammered in the stock markets."

He explained that even if a portfolio was 50 percent invested in stocks, there was still another 50 percent that was protected from the perceived volatility in the market. Despite the move in equities Monday, the CBOE Volatility Index fell more than 7 percent.

Hanson said, however, that money that was intended to be used within the next five years shouldn"t be in stocks or other long-term investments at all.

Manisha Thakor of The Bam Alliance said that while was was difficult, "doing nothing is doing something it"s an active decision to stay put."

If investors felt that the current market action was "destroying" their retirement, that should be a red flag, according to Thakor.

"What that tells me is you either have the wrong asset allocation, an inappropriate level of of diversification or an inappropriate financial advisor who hasn"t explained to you why doing nothing is the correct active action to be taking in a market like this," she said.
