The Argentina international’s failure to find the net in his side’s final Group D fixture means he is still yet to break his duck in this season’s Champions League. Dybala’s goals have also dried up domestically. While he started the season with a sensational run of 10 in his first six Serie A games, he has only managed two more since. However, speaking after the Italian champions qualified for the last 16 in Europe on Tuesday, Allegri insisted he is not concerned by Dybala’s form....

Speaking to the media Friday night as the 76ers celebrated his Basketball Hall of Fame induction, Iverson spoke about his life since enshrinement and what made him a special player despite being 6-0. MORE: ‘Practice’ rant has its own shoe “The Answer” could have added muscle to his 165-pound frame during his 17-year NBA career but much like practice, he wasn’t a fan of lifting weights. “That s— was too heavy,” Iverson said, admitting he never lifted during his career....

Real Madrid and Barcelona have been credited with holding an interest in the England international, with the 20-year-old having slipped seamlessly onto Premier League and international stages. ‘Madrid would be crazy to pay Alli price’ It has been suggested that such talk could prove to be a distraction for a player of such promise, but Mabbutt does not believe that Spurs or the player should let it impact on them....

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HSCO) attended the pond behind the Landing Bar and Grill at 4351 Lynx Paw Trail in Valrico just after 8:40 p.m. on July 4, following reports of a body. Deputies found the victim’s body in the water and requested HCSO’s Underwater Recovery Team to retrieve it. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that the woman’s body appeared to have suffered injuries consistent with an alligator attack, but the cause of death has still not officially been determined, pending an examination by the Medical Examiner’s Office....

At around 11:15 a.m. on Monday, the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office received a call that an alligator near a pond within the gated community appeared to be “guarding” a body on the ground. Police and officers from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources are reportedly on the scene, as well as officials from the Beaufort County Coroner’s Office. According to local news station The Island Packet, as of 12:50 p....

In chilly conditions in Shanghai, Brandon Borrello and Tommy Oar struck in the first half to lay the platform for the win in the ACL qualifier at Hongkou Stadium. Gus Poyet’s Shenhua, with Carlos Tevez and Obafemi Martins up front, were booed off at half-time and despite huffing and puffing in the second half, could not find a way past Brisbane goalkeeper Jamie Young. Roar stun Tevez and Co....

Liverpool turned on the style at Anfield on Wednesday to record a stunning 3-0 victory over Pep Guardiola’s side – Mohamed Salah, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane all scoring before half-time. It was another disappointing defeat for City against Jurgen Klopp’s Reds, following their 4-3 Premier League reverse in January, but Alonso has urged caution ahead of Tuesday’s return leg. “They have shown they can beat anyone, the atmosphere was thrilling at Anfield,” Alonso told Omnisport....

When I suggested this policy might be a political loser for Republicans, the conversation got a little hot. Probably so, Rove said, his voice rising, but this wasn’t about politics. I told him the issue was personal for me; I’d had lymphoma, and embryonic stem cells offer the potential for a cure some day that adult stem cells do not. Rove said he had a close family member with a bad disease....

What about raising the head of the bed? Some people have decreased apnea if they have the head of their bed slightly elevated. This can be accomplished by using a sleep wedge pillow, which is a ramp of foam that is highest at the head of the bed. In some cases, an adjustable bed can be used to raise the head enough to eliminate snoring and help apnea. Newer beds may try to automate these adjustments for you....

Tha Dogg Pound’s highly anticipated debut album “was the nail in the coffin” for In-terscope, says a source at the label. Produced by the rap duo Kurupt and Daz (Snoop Doggy Dogg’s cousin), “Dogg Food” is filled with profanity, mi-sogynistic lyrics, graphic sex and violence. (It’s expected to shoot to No. 1.) Tha Dogg Pound had plenty of time to tone down all the attitude before the CD’s scheduled release in August, but didn’t....

Mission accomplished, by Bombardier and other teenagers galvanized by the Iraq war. A new wave of activism swept through America’s high schools this past year–from Petaluma, Calif., where 52 students were suspended in November for walking out of class to protest the impending war, to Orlando, Fla., where debates at a Model U.N. program in March were infused with urgency and relevance as students found themselves arguing about a war that started just days later....

The Large Electron Positron (LEP) collider at the European Centre for Particle Physics (CERN) was a wonder of both scale and delicacy. The great circular tunnel that housed it was 27 kilometers long, yet the high-energy particle beams within it were so exquisitely balanced that they responded to changes in the water level of nearby Lac Leman and trains leaving Geneva Station. For the past 11 years this sensitive monster provided physicists with fundamental new facts about the world; this fall it was scheduled to be shut down so that an even mightier machine, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), could be installed in the same tunnel....

Between 1975 and 1979 nearly 1.8 million Cambodians died under the Khmer Rouge, and survivors tend to readily share their stories. But Panh’s film excavates new levels of horror, capturing the grueling tension that existed between jailer and jailed. More than 16,000 people were brought into S21 and tormented until they confessed to involvement with the CIA, KGB or Vietnamese enemies. Then they were put to death. In the film, Nath–who was spared for his talents as a painter–studies stacks of documents and photos of those brought to S21 with him....

Reefs are being hammered by a daunting array of really poor resource-management choices. (One example: fishers in Indonesia and the Philippines use cyanide or dynamite to stun live reef fish–highly prized in Cantonese cuisine and the aquarium trade–then smash the reefs apart to pull the comatose animals from the crevices where they hide.) Less than 1 percent of reefs are protected from such practices worldwide, says Jane Lubchenco, a marine ecologist at Oregon State University, making strict “no take” marine reserves “the single most useful action we can take” to preserve them....

Trying to interest the public in politics is a worthy goal. But does it make for a hot magazine? Advertisers rushed to fill the roughly 300-page first issue, 500,000 copies of which arrive at newsstands in late September. The reason, of course, is John F. Kennedy Jr. When Kennedy and his partner Michael Berman made a pitch to 150,000 potential customers, a healthy 5.7 percent responded when they stressed Kennedy’s connection....

Laimbeer didn’t elaborate further on a timeline and added that he’ll consider adding another player in free agency to fill the void in Wilson’s absence. Free agents can sign for the remainder of the season beginning Aug. 5. Wilson, on the sideline of Sunday’s victory over the Minnesota Lynx in a walking boot and using crutches, appeared in good spirits. Wilson left Friday’s road loss to the Seattle Storm in the third quarter with a sprained left ankle after she collided with one of her teammates....

The Roosevelt community is the most challenging of 16 experiments so far in applying the moral-stage theories of the late Harvard educator Lawrence Kohlberg. The group includes about 80 students from the cavernous school of 3,000; they spend a third of each day either in a class oriented to ethical studies or in committees and full community meetings. They don’t make all their own rules, but they can debate anything, and the school lets the group handle its own incidents of fighting, cheating, stealing and other such offenses....

“The Whisperer” is a sudsy, soap-operatic story about a teenager, Grace, and her beautiful horse, Pilgrim. There’s a tragic accident, an amputation, a doomed love affair and a stampede of wild mustangs. (Redford will play the title character, a trainer who heals the horse; he’ll also direct and produce.) Evans’s book surfaced earlier this month at the Frankfurt Book Fair, in Germany, where his agent, the small British firm A....

The county’s $7,8 billion investment fund held money belonging to 180 cities, school boards and other agencies. The man in charge of investing it, county treasurer Robert Citron, had a stellar reputation as an aggressive investor. In 1993, when a similar state-run investment pool yielded 4.58 percent, Citron garnered a stellar 7.4 percent. But Citron bet heavily on lower interest rates – a move that proved disastrous when the Fed began raising rates in 1994....
