GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — Maddie Rooney couldn't stop smiling. She was on top of her game, and it didn't seem to matter that it was a shootout against the powerhouse Canadians. The first shootout in an Olympic women's final. With a gold medal on the line. Her coach, Robb Stauber, made sure not to say a word to the 20-year-old goaltender. "I know she has ice in her veins," Stauber said. It sure looked like it. Rooney made 29 saves through overtime, then turned away shots from four Canadians in the six-round shootout...

BENTONVILLE (KFSM) — Benton County officials say a caller is masquerading as a sheriff’s deputy with a phony warrant and trying to trick residents into paying him to avoid arrest. The sheriff’s office and county clerk’s office have received complaints from residents that a caller claiming to be “Deputy Walker” has a warrant for their arrest from Judge John R. Scott. The caller gives a local number — 479-689-6695 — and tells the victim the sheriff’s office cannot accept cash, checks […]
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jurors who took less than 15 minutes to convict a Florida man last week of abducting, raping and killing an 8-year-old girl have now decided he should be executed. The Jacksonville jury voted unanimously Thursday after about two hours of discussion that 62-year-old Donald Smith should receive the death penalty. If just one of the 12 jurors had voted against execution, Smith would have instead faced life in prison. During a two-day sentencing phase, experts testified that... Читать дальше...

More and more inhabitants of Portugal's Terceira Island are suffering from deadly diseases, especially cancer, at rates far out of sync with the rest of the Azores archipelago. Terceira is no different from the other islands, except in one thing. Russia-based video agency RUPTLY has carried out an exclusive investigation into this matter.
Prosecutors referred Alex Cardosi to a program that would have him avoid a criminal record and keeps details of the case secret.

The state Senate voted 38-10 Thursday without any debate to give final legislative approval to repealing the Sunday alcohol sales ban that's been in place since the Prohibition era nearly a century ago. Gov. Eric Holcomb said earlier Thursday that he "won't let too many Sundays pass" before signing the bill. "There's a pen on my desk," the Republican said. "We're waiting for the process to take its course. Читать дальше...
ESPN FC's Paul Mariner breaks down the latest transfer rumours surrounding Harry Kane, Eden Hazard, Neymar and plenty more in Transfer Rater. It is striking how Ronaldinho was so loved, and how Neymar can be so hated. The adulation for Ronaldinho appears to overlook the extent to which he betrayed his own talent; as a top-class performer he was effectively finished by 26. True, there were occasional triumphs and great moments afterward -- he was a genius. But he was a genius who had stopped caring. Читать дальше...

I personally think that comms out of the club from 2015 onwards have been pretty poor. Not entirely the fault of Mike Latham, but because of how the club as a whole (or just DB?) have chosen to address things. Way issues around Penky, Barlow, Chase etc... dragged the club's reputation through the mud, and things like response to Ridyard signing for Fev showed that... Читать дальше...
