West Indies have played some exceptional cricket throughout this tour against a quality opponent. The Caribbeans would be hoping to land a counter punch in the final match to level the ODI series by 2-2. After beating the English Lions in the test series, they looked hopeful of sealing the ODI series as well. However, the visitors had other plans as they have dominated the ODI series so far. The home team, which is already ecstatic with the return of Chris Gayle ahead of the ICC World Cup, needs to finish this home series on a high....

A 2019 contract between the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (WVDCR) and Global Tel Link (GTL) states that inmates will be charged 3 cents a minute to read books—which is currently considered the “discount rate”—despite the fact that all available books come from Project Gutenberg, a free online library, as the Appalachian Prison Book Project (APBP) pointed out. While the tablets will be positive for inmates—WVDCR cited access to educational materials, incentives for good behavior and staying connected to loved ones—the APBP, a nonprofit that offers free books and education to prisoners, reviewed the contract and called the fee structure “exploitative....

AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Augusta National’s notoriously difficult course will be even tougher to play because of a heavy rainstorm which is expected to hit the local area on Wednesday, six-time U.S. Masters champion Jack Nicklaus said on Tuesday.

Calls for the Frenchman to walk away from a club that he has served for 22 years are mounting in intensity amid a sorry run of form. A 2-1 defeat at Brighton on Sunday was a fourth in succession for the Gunners , and an eighth reversal in their last 13 outings. Wenger has never faced such opposition during his iconic reign in north London, but he retains full confidence in his ability to steer the club through a testing period....

The young striker asked to be withdrawn 32 minutes into Leipzig’s Champions League defeat to Besiktas on September 26 after appearing to struggle with the noise of the crowd. Hasenhuttl then revealed after the match that Werner was suffering from “breathing and circulation” problems, which were ultimately put down to the cervical spine blockage. Werner missed Germany’s recent internationals as a result, but Leipzig have been handed a major boost ahead of what will likely be one of their toughest fixtures of the season....

I’m of course referring to the U21 match about two weeks back, when the young German unleashed a thunderous volley to put Arsenal past West Brom 1-0. It’s one thing to score against a squad of teenagers, but Gnabry has shown in his short time with the first team, that he has what it takes to play with the big boys, having tucked in nicely against Stoke on Saturday....

It all started when Gareth Barry stamped on Hazard’s foot and the Belgian was furious as the referee did not give a foul. The anger along with boo’s from the crowd made the Chelsea man determined to prove a point and his thunderstrike from 25 yards out led to Chelsea’s first goal. He then latched on to a beautiful backheel assist by Morata to score Chelsea’s second and right before half-time, Alonso scored from Cesc Fabregas’ freekick....

Nasri had been training with the club since November and a deal had long been mooted, as the Frenchman looks to kick-start his career after a difficult spell. The 31-year-old was given an 18-month backdated ban after receiving a drip treatment at a Los Angeles clinic in 2016 while on loan at Sevilla, and is free to play again from January 1. UEFA said the treatment contravened rules laid down by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and an appeal against an initial six-month suspension resulted in an extension, which was backdated to July 1 2017....

Both these T20I giants will collide once again for another epic encounter in what has turned out to be a spectacular tour. West Indies have looked a different side since Jason Holder took charge last year. They look more confident and lethal as a unit, especially in their home conditions. The hosts outplayed England in the Test series and toiled hard in the ODI series. The T20I series began on a sour note for the two-time world champions as they lost the opening match by four wickets....

“This is the report, and people can read it for themselves,” he said. “I hope people will read it, and they’ll see that of the recommendations that are in here, there are many that were supported by the environmental community.” His defensiveness was understandable. A court order has just forced the Energy Department to turn over documents relating to the vice president’s controversial task force that put the report together....

Pool duty is the only kind of pool where water is not guaranteed. The pool is the 13-person group of reporters that covers the president up close. The duty rotates. We ride on Air Force One, see historic events and ask the president questions. It’s great. Most of the time. That day in Canada, Bob had seen a lot of security (who knew Mounties could be surly?) but had not a glimpse of the man we cover....

RELATED: Westworld: Best Hosts In The HBO Series By the end of Season 1, the hosts have begun an uprising against their human puppeteers. While it seems like a series primed for lots of bloodshed and casualties, it’s quite the opposite; hosts can always be rebuilt, while human characters are often replaced by host counterparts. Nevertheless, these deaths, even if temporary, tugged at our heartstrings. Warning: Spoilers Ahead 8 Theresa Cullen One of the first major deaths during Season 1 of Westworld involved Theresa Cullen, a senior manager at Delos Inc....
