A match to end the series, the Black Stars are confirmed out of next year’s global gathering as group leaders, Egypt, four points clear at the top, have already claimed the sole ticket to the tournament. Boakye believes the least his outfit can do by way of appeasement in the current situation, is to beat the Pharaohs in Sunday’s dead rubber. ‘‘I think it’s an opportunity to showcase to Ghanaians that we have a united and good team....
League commissioner Adam Silver released a statement after Lanier’s death, declaring that he was “among the most talented centers in the history of the NBA.” The top pick in the 1970 NBA Draft out of St. Bonaventure, Lanier earned eight All-Star selections during his career and won the 1974 All-Star Game MVP award.

That applies, of course, to the players we watch on the baseball field and the people we interact with in our daily lives. That lesson was drilled home again on Thursday, reading Bobby Jenks’ harrowing come-clean tale on The Players’ Tribune. I’ll admit, I’ve always kind of wondered what really happened to Bobby Jenks. He was this big, burly mountain of a man throwing gas as the White Sox closer....

But President Jair Bolsonaro’s Chief of Staff, Onyx Lorenzoni, quickly rejected the offer, instead suggesting that G7 leaders—who had been meeting in Biarritz, France—focus on their own domestic affairs. Responding to the pledge, Lorenzoni told the Globo news website, “Thanks, but maybe those resources are more relevant to reforest Europe,” the BBC reported. Referring to a major fire that destroyed part of the historic Notre Dame cathedral in Paris in April, he added, “[President Emmanuel] Macron cannot even avoid a predictable fire in a church that is part of the world’s heritage, and he wants to give us lessons for our country?...
Bolton, who Trump ousted from his administration last week, criticized the president for inviting the Taliban to Camp David, a move he said was not only “disrespectful” to 9/11 victims, but also sent a “terrible signal,” the attendees recounted. The former National Security Adviser also reportedly asserted that Trump’s negotiations with Iran and North Korea are “doomed to failure” because all they want is to secure relief from economic sanctions....

Most of us know Stein far better for her prescient patronage of modern art than for her dense- ly inhospitable modern prose. With her brother Leo, she began to collect C?zanne, Picasso and Matisse when the artists were nobodies. She filled her flat at 27 rue de Fleurus with paintings, and opened the doors to the demimonde of Paris. Toklas entered the picture just after Picasso painted his portrait of Stein, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in 1906....
NEWSWEEK: Why did you write the book? Courtney E. Martin: Growing up, I was surrounded by women with eating disorders from the time I was 16. Then I thought it would be better at Barnard [College], with its all-girl feminist ethos, but it was a lot worse. I had been surrounded by these beautiful friends who were self-hating for so long. The journalist part of me took over and found there are 7 million girls and women with eating disorders in the U....
Maybe such a scene should be expected inside Toyota Center the way this season has started. It’s understandable, at least, after the Rockets teased with a quick 13-point first-quarter lead, and were at least tied at 55 at the half, before closing with a familiar 111-95 blowout loss. Houston is 2-5 at home so far, having been outscored by an average of 15.2 points in each loss, and hasn’t held an opponent under 100 points all season....
Holders PSG, aiming for their fourth successive victory in the competition, opened the scoring through Di Maria’s stunning free-kick at Stade Matmut-Atlantique on Tuesday, before Diego Rolan equalised for the hosts.

Data from the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) and Office of Field Operations (OFO) compiled by Newsweek show that the average number of encounters under Biden reached totals of roughly 189,000 per month, compared to an average of just under 51,000 per month during the Trump presidency. The rate is so significant that Biden, in fewer than two years, has already wracked up over one million more illegal crossings than Trump did throughout his entire administration—including more than 2 million crossings in 2022 alone....
““This is a bad, bad guy,’’ said a White House aide, avoiding any expression of regret over the death. Meanwhile, a second suspect, Milan Kovacevic, offered no resistance when he was arrested 16 miles away at his office at the Prijedor Hospital. NATO troops whisked him off to The Hague to stand trial on charges of “‘complicity in genocide.’’ Kovacevic allegedly ran the Omarska concentration camp in Prijedor. For 19 months NATO’s Bosnia Stabilization Force (SFOR) said troops would arrest those indicted for war crimes only if they bumped into them - something that somehow never happened....
White’s firing follows an independent investigation into multiple allegations of domestic violence against him as well as testimony he provided during a hearing on June 1, Janey said during a press conference. “Dennis White has repeatedly asserted that the domestic violence allegations against him are false, but he stated in his hearing and during the investigation that he has hit and pushed members of his household,” Janey said. “The allegations and evidence of this behavior raised serious questions about his fitness to lead the Boston Police Department....
