With the Kolkata derby looming this weekend, Sanjoy Sen decided to rest first-team players Debjit Majumder, Pritam Kotal and Sehnaj Singh as Sony Norde made a return from injury. All three foreigners of Colombo FC, who arrived only hours ahead of kick-off, made it to the starting eleven as Zarwan Johar was dropped. EB Channa and skipper Rawme Mohideen too started after passing a fitness test. Souvik Chakraborti, playing in a makeshift right-back role, was overpowered by Afeez Olofin a couple of times early on but both teams were wasteful when it came to penetrating the opposition’s box....

According to an affidavit, which was released Monday and obtained by The Wichita Eagle, Randle threatened to kill a detention deputy on May 14 after he refused to let him make a phone call. The deputy had reason not to allow a phone call – another officer gave Randle access to the phones earlier in the day.

Massouma Tajik, a 22-year-old data analyst working for a U.S. contractor helping Afghan businesses, said she was told Sunday that she had been put on an evacuation list for the United States or Mexico, and needed to leave her family and country immediately. She left from a friend’s apartment in Kabul with just the clothes on her back, a small backpack, a laptop and her phone on Sunday to head to the airport....

In a country as wounded as Afghanistan, environmental concerns might seem a luxury–a concern to be saved for calmer times. But the country’s burgeoning wood racket–like drugs and arms smuggling–is a lucrative business for criminal outfits looking to make money in war-torn regions. Since the fall of the Taliban, legitimate businesses have been slow to get off the ground in Afghanistan. But illegal logging has boomed, largely because of the central government’s limited authority outside Kabul....

One clear reason for Republicans’ setback is the extent to which they were thoroughly outcompeted by Democrats when it comes to the most bare-bones, brass tacks elements of modern politics. Specifically, when it came to party and candidate-specific fundraising, as well as early vote/vote-by-mail mobilization and the mechanics of ballot harvesting/get-out-the-vote operations, the GOP was outperformed, outclassed, and left in the dust. It is pretty embarrassing that one of America’s major two political parties seems clueless about how to execute on 21st-century American politics, but here we are....

For the first time, federal and state fisheries officials have closed the season in California and in most of Oregon. The reason: only 90,000 fish returned last fall to the Sacramento River chinook run, down 90 percent from just a few years ago. Experts blame the plunging numbers on water diversions for agriculture and communities (in some years more than half the Sacramento’s water is siphoned off), pollution, dams that have cut off salmon from their upstream spawning grounds and unfavorable ocean conditions that diminished food sources in the Pacific....

And only some of it is about the stains from the very end, the investigation into a performance-enhancing drug accusation and a long-ago sexual-impropriety allegation that bubbled back up years later. No, this is his football legacy. Manning retires from an 18-year NFL career with all the major individual passing records, and a reputation as a technically-brilliant quarterback that few can match.

Protests opposing the rule of Lukashenko have taken place both before and after the August 9 election, which has not been recognized internationally. Following the disputed ballot, opposition leader Svetlana Tikhonovskaya left the country.

Endless Johnny Manziel questions. Shameless ploys to get Sumlin to play jab-for-jab with Steve Spurrier. Are you really cut out for the SEC? The third-year Texas A&M coach had every right to strut into the bowels of Williams-Brice Stadium after No. 21 Texas A&M’s 52-28 deconstruction of No. 9 South Carolina, jam his fist into the podium and pop a taunt like, “Johnny Who? Was that SEC enough for y’all?...

If the performance by the Browns’ backs really was a factor, Rice might be in camp by morning. MORE: Preseason Week 1 in photos | Washington TE Paul breaks ankle, out for season Even with the offense producing two first-half touchdowns in a 20-17 Browns loss, incumbents Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West didn’t exactly rise to the challenge from both the Rice rumors and from running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery last week....

On Friday, James said that the distribution of these cards poses a serious threat to New York communities and has the ability to intercept the process being made to combat COVID-19 in New York. “As the Delta variant becomes more prominent, it is more important than ever for New Yorkers to be vaccinated against COVID-19,” said Attorney General James. “Not only do fake and fraudulently-completed vaccination cards violate federal and state laws and the public trust, but they also put the health of our communities at risk and potentially prolong this public health crisis....

Verratti was substituted after 59 minutes during the scoreless draw with Marseille on Sunday and appeared to react badly, exchanging words with Emery on the touchline. READ MORE: Henry reveals secret behind Ozil’s scoring form Following the confrontation, it has been suggested that the 23-year-old is being courted by Juventus and AC Milan, with the former a long-term admirer of the playmaker. But his agent Donato Di Campli is certain that he will not be moving in the near future and says it is only speculation that Verratti is unhappy at Parc des Princes....

Arsenal slammed on Twitter The youngster, who lives in Argentina with mother Giannina Maradona, was present at the Bombonera on Sunday to watch Tevez in action for Boca Juniors. Tevez may have played his last game for the Xeneize with rumours of a move to China heavily circulating, but he found time to make a special gift to Aguero Jr. after the match. “Thank you for making my son so happy,” Giannina wrote on Twitter along with a picture of her starstruck son and Tevez....

Why Toure has no chance of City return Aguero gave Pep Guardiola’s men the lead right on the stroke of halftime with a close-range finish from Kevin De Bruyne’s cross at the Etihad Stadium. The strike ensured Aguero — who remains City’s sixth all-time top scorer — edged closer to Joe Hayes and Billy Meredith (152 each) in the club’s scoring charts. Aguero also moved level with Dion Dublin as the joint-18th highest Premier League goalscorer on 110 strikes....

The majority of newborns who lost their lives to air pollution were in the developing world, with indoor air quality to blame for two-thirds of the deaths, according to the State of Global Air 2020 report. Scientists discovered that polluted air has an impact on the health of babies while they are still in the womb and could lead to premature birth or low birth weight - both factors associated with infant mortality....

Dr. Alex Moore, an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia, posted a screenshot of the messages on Twitter last week in the hopes that Airbnb would remove the host from its website. Airbnb has since taken action against the host. However, it’s worth noting that Moore isn’t the first person to lodge a safety complaint against the company. According to Bloomberg, Airbnb spends an average of $50 million a year on payouts to hosts and guests who’ve had negative experiences....

The heel turn was facilitated by a mini storyline that ran across the July 1 episode of RAW as well as Styles’ own frustration with the result of the match. AJ Styles hit Ricochet with a Phenomenal Forearm - the same finisher that fell the US Champion last week - but unbeknownst to Styles and the referee Ricochet got his foot under the ropes. Another referee would appear from the back while Styles was celebrating and the match would restart....
