As huge as she is, Jones still keeps her music and her music-making down home: her writing partner/bass player and boyfriend, Lee Alexander, produced the new CD in their home studio. Old friend Jesse Harris, who wrote the massive hit “Don’t Know Why” for her 2002 debut, “Come Away With Me,” shares in the work again, but this time it’s by playing guitar as part of her studio band. Other players on the record are people she’s known for years....
The last player to win the PGA Tour tournament after ending the opening round atop the leaderboard was Justin Leonard 15 years ago. But Swede Noren and American Simpson staked their claims with four-under-par 66s for a one-stroke lead at PGA National Golf Club. Noren and Simpson were almost flawless, only dropping one shot apiece while posting five birdies in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year and US PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas is one of five players within a shot of the duo....
According to Brian Holloway, North Carolina A&T's Associate Athletics Director/Communications, the bus wasn't towed because of an overly eager parking enforcement officer. The bus was towed due to mechanical issues. "The upside of still playing doubleheaders is that the men were playing in town as well," Holloway said in an email to Sporting News. "The women took the men's bus home because the men were already scheduled to fly back....

The team from the North-East won their trump match and also pulled off a victory in Bengaluru’s trump match.

Park is one of thousands of desperate North Koreans who’ve escaped from that impoverished country in recent years. Nearly all flee into China, and many are quickly arrested by Chinese police and, like Park, forcibly returned to the communist regime, where they are punished by internment in Pyongyang’s brutal prison system. Frail and boyish-looking, Park is suffering from memory lapses as a result of the mistreatment he claims to have suffered during his eight-month ordeal....
In a commentary published Thursday by the official Korean Central News Agency, North Korean First Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui condemned Trump’s decision Tuesday to refer to North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un as “Rocket Man”—a phrase he coined during soaring tensions in 2017—as the president warned the U.S. had “the most powerful military” and “will use it” if necessary. In response, Choe said that Trump “has lost politeness to the highest dignity of our republic and dared to use metaphors....
The Korean Central News Agency said Thursday that the “SLBM Pukguksong-3” weapon was tested successfully in Wonsan Bay off the east coast of the country, the Yonhap news agency reported. “The test-firing scientifically and technically confirmed the key tactical and technical indexes of the newly-designed ballistic missile and had no adverse impact on the security of neighboring countries,” the KCNA said. The agency added that the launch had “great significance as it ushered in a new phase in containing the outside forces’ threat to the [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] and further bolstering its military muscle for self-defense....
Features & Performance Like AVG TuneUp, there’s no free version of Utilities so I’m testing the paid-for edition. There’s Ultimate that I’ve taken a look at as well as a cut-down Premium option. Norton doesn’t even offer a free trial to allow you to try it out before buying. Installation is easy enough and you’ll need 100MB of space available, a little more than some rivals but less than others. Oddly, Utilities Ultimate scanned my test laptop as soon as the application loaded and before I could even put my product key in....
When he got pushed a bit in the semifinals, Hovland responded. Hovland birdied six of seven holes he played on the back nine Saturday to advance to the U.S. Amateur final at Pebble Beach, where he will take on UCLA sophomore Devon Bling. “I hadn’t played 13 and 14 and 15 in a few days, but I knew what to do,” Hovland said. “It wasn’t like I was taken off guard....
That means fans may be waiting with bated breath for more Diablo 4 news, and that’s something Blizzard ought to be aware of.

“List of invitees suggest political expediency took precedence over genuine democratic considerations,” the Turkish embassy in Washington told Newsweek. “Many are questioning the true motive behind the Summit.” Ankara’s absence from the invite list of 111 participants sparked controversy, as Turkey is a member of the NATO military alliance, and the second-largest troop contributor behind the United States. Hungary was the only other NATO country omitted from the list, and the only European Union nation not invited, prompting Budapest to block the EU’s joint representation at the event....

Although the visiting side were without Mesut Ozil and controversially started without Alexis Sanchez in their XI, they produced a performance that meant they were well worth their point away to the champions and their great rivals. There was nothing between the sides on the field, and that was demonstrated by the statistics, too, with both teams boasting virtually identical numbers in all categories. Antonio Conte’s side edged possession, but only by a couple of percentage marks, while total passes were very tight....
The Fighting Irish beat Cal 24-17 at Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday, capped with a final drive by the Golden Bears in which they appeared to be beaten on no fewer than two occasions. In the end, however, it took a failed Hail Mary attempt — go figure — before the clock hit zeroes and Notre Dame got the win. Notre Dame scored its go-ahead touchdown with 9:16 left in the fourth quarter....
