The debutants have been fairly impressive in the Australian top-flight so far. They have won half of their 14 games in the campaign and sit fourth in the table. They’re firmly in contention to qualify for the Finals Series, the knockout rounds of the league, as they trail leaders Central Coast Mariners by just three points. Macarthur are now aiming to clinch a third successive win for the first time....
In a lawsuit filed Thursday in the Eastern District of California, the Louisiana Attorney General’s office argued that “the economic value of American alligators acts as a powerful incentive for private landowners to actively manage and protect wetlands. This management and protection of alligator habitat boosts not only alligators, but a whole myriad of wildlife species.” Without access to the country’s second-largest marketplace for their wares, the complaint alleged, alligator farmers would be forced to leave the industry, which would lead to disastrous consequences not just for alligators, but for Louisiana wetlands on the whole....
At ACC Media Day on July 22, Louisville’s Lamar Jackson appeared comfortable in the spotlight — or at least not afraid of it. “How am I doing?” he asked reporters in the Westin Hotel Ballroom in Charlotte, N.C. “I’m doing good, right?” We saw a fringe Heisman Trophy candidate based on his strong finish in 2015, but Jackson would show everyone just how comfortable he was in that spotlight. The sophomore quarterback totaled 3,390 passing yards and 30 TDs with 1,538 rushing yards and 21 TDs....

The company is well known at this point as being the company that deals with the video game version of the famed detective....
Differentiating a strain from a sprain can be difficult, as both injuries will have similar symptoms. Many doctors refer to both injuries as a category called “musculoligamentous injuries” of the lumbar spine. In general, it doesn’t matter what you call the problem because the treatment and prognosis for both back strains and sprains is the same. Nearly everyone will experience low back pain at some point in their life; it is the second most common cause of missed days of work in the United States—only a common cold causes more missed work....
That match is now off after the company made the decision to strip El Patron of the title on Monday.

In case you didn’t know… Back in January, former Lucha Underground Trios Champion Ivelisse revealed on social media that she’d been trying to get out of her contract for well over a year. She revealed that the company essentially begged her and others to stick around through season 4, and then they’d allow them to leave if they still wished to do so. Many did, and many are still held under contract with a show that has no Season 5 in sight, keeping them away from the business that they love and a steady paycheck....
Tom Ellis is back but not as you know him, and the salacious drama has once again introduced a new biblical figure to add a bit of sinful intrigue.

The Cleanrot Knight grab sees the Knight impaling the player, and in co-op it can even catch two Tarnished with the same attack. While these stabs do severe damage, it is the throw that is the most dangerous parts of the ability. This is because Cleanrot Knights toss players back instead of just dropping them on the ground after inflicting Scarlet Rot....

It’s repeatedly mentioned during NBA broadcasts, a favorite among former players turned analysts like Kenny Smith, Richard Jefferson and J.J. Redick. And while the others does sound like the perfect band name, it’s actually referring to the superstar-supporting players on a team.

Continuing to play at an elite level, Doncic was absolutely masterful in the victory....
The Belgium international’s apparent move to refuse fresh terms earlier this month came despite his agent Mino Raiola having previously insisted an agreement was “99.9 per cent done”. Everton top scorer Lukaku has regularly spoken of his desire to play in the Champions League and win trophies, but he insists that should not be mistaken for arrogance. “The decision has already been made so I can’t talk about that,” Lukaku, who still has two years left on his Everton contract, told reporters ahead of Belgium’s World Cup qualifier against Greece....
Lovren and fellow Reds defender Trent Alexander-Arnold endured an afternoon to forget as they were continually outmuscled by the Belgian in a 2-1 reverse.

I am not the kind of mechanic coach that says A pass to B, B to C, C to D....
McEwan has long since left the macabre behind–in 1998 he won the Booker Prize for a knowing, mordantly comic novel about creativity, morality and middle age, entitled “Amsterdam.” But no one could have predicted how far afield he would travel for his latest novel, “Atonement,” which has spent the past six months on best-seller lists in England. “Atonement” is a rich, meditative World War II-era novel about a headstrong 13-year-old girl named Briony Tallis who witnesses a rape at her wealthy family’s country house, sends an innocent working-class man to jail and ruins more than one life in the process....
