I finally ““just said no’’ to fund-raising projects that depend upon my child’s friendly face for their success. In the past decade, these projects have multiplied faster than popcorn can pop. And I, for one, will no longer be trolling the neighborhood and pestering relatives in order to finance my children’s activities. I’m not against entrepreneurial zeal. Every kid should mow lawns, shovel sidewalks or baby-sit, and later he should deal with customers and clean the bathrooms at McDonald’s....

Why are mortars and mounted jeeps Cannons and missiles Weapons untargeted At midnight and daytime Fired on the town? What crime have the people committed? … Does someone get paid For the dead and the wounded? Is the flow of their blood Turned into a mineral like gold? ..MR0- Odd as it may seem, such verse could help ease Somalia’s torment. From the outside, the country looks as jury-rigged as Kaarlye’s recording setup....

Sanchez scored for the first time since January in the two-time defending Copa America champions’ victory in Sao Paulo. The Manchester United attacker was sidelined late during the Premier League season with a knee injury, but was on the scoresheet in his first appearance since early May.

The World No. 1 and her partner hit 4 aces in the match, which picked up signficant momentum in the second set – on both sides of the net....

Courtesy the result, Punjab now have six points from two games while Jammu and Kashmir remain on three from as many matches. Left winger Gurpreet Singh scored the only goal of the match in the 38th minute. Receiving a neat pass from substitute striker Ranjit Singh after the duo exchanged passes on the left inside channel, Gurpreet tucked his effort nicely into the bottom left corner. Jammu and Kashmir had two good chances to equalise in the second half but centre forward Prem Kumar and substitute Toufeeq Ahmed shot wide and over....

Ajmal had been suspended from bowling in international cricket earlier this month after biomechanic tests conducted in Brisbane, Australia, revealed that he was flexing his elbow well beyond the permissible 15 degrees limit while bowling. “Besides the one million rupees fees, the PCB will bear all expenses on the biomechanic tests Saeed will undergo further while Saqlain will also be provided accommodation and other perks,” a source told PTI....

The Chelsea manager could instead sit back and enjoy their performance in a 5-0 win over Huddersfield that lifted them back into the top four in the English Premier League on Saturday. Doubles from Gonzalo Higuain — his first goals since joining on loan from Juventus — and Eden Hazard helped Chelsea bounce back from two straight league losses that jeopardized their Champions League qualification hopes and left Sarri wondering where to turn next....

Former Napoli coach Sarri replaced Antonio Conte in a restless summer for the London club but any fears of an opening-day upset disappeared with goals from France international N’Golo Kante, summer signing Jorginho and Pedro. World Cup winner Kante’s untidy 34th-minute volley and Jorginho’s audacious penalty on the stroke of halftime put Chelsea in control before Pedro wrapped up the points in the closing stages. Kepa Arrizabalaga, the world’s most expensive goalkeeper, barely had a save to make on his Blues debut, while Jorginho slotted seamlessly into a well-balanced midfield, which refused to be out-hussled by David Wagner’s Terriers....

Felda United has found the going tough in the season after they finished runners-up in the Super League and qualified themselves for the 2017 AFC Cup. Exit from the continental cup competition in the group stage as well as the FA Cup has threw a spanner in the works for Felda. The 2017 season hasn’t been one of continuing the progress they made last season. Sitting only in mid-table in the Super League standings, the signings of Gaston Cellerino and Lucas Cano has failed to ignite the same spark in the team that Lutfulla Turaev and Francis Forkey Doe managed last season....

That value captain is Equanimeous St. Brown, pretty much a shot in the dark in the hope of a few targets and one long catch. But he doesn’t have to do much for our overall lineup structure to work since very few people will have rostered all of Rodgers/Adams/Jones. If they all play well, we’ll still perform well.

The European champions reached an agreement to sign full-back Theo from city rivals Atletico on a six-year deal last week, a transfer reportedly worth €26million. Saul, meanwhile, has chosen a different path, signing a renewal that ties him to Diego Simeone’s side until 2026. The Spain midfielder is not bitter about Theo’s choice, as long as the 19-year-old, who never made a competitive Atletico appearance, respects his former club....

To accommodate America’s needs, the grid will need to triple the load it can handle in order to avoid what NASA deems a point of no return. To accomplish this herculean feat, the use of the distribution network is going to have to change radically. Many are quick to point out that the grid is deliberately overbuilt to handle peak flows and occasional surges, but is it overbuilt enough to handle the electrification of America?...

DEHGHANPISHEH: You’ve made your reputation by writing about drugged-out characters. What’s your drug of choice? WELSH: I stopped drinking and doing drugs in January because I ran the London Marathon.
