Sterling scored twice in a 4-1 triumph over Spurs, City’s 16th league win in a row which maintains their healthy 11-point lead atop the table. However, troubling reports emerged soon after the game, alleging that Sterling was kicked and had racial slurs directed towards him in an altercation at the entrance of City’s training base. The club have not reported the incident to police, who were made aware of the incident the day after the game....

Melvina Bogard, 32, turned herself in to investigators, according to the Cook County state’s attorney’s office. She was later released on her own recognizance by Judge Susana Ortiz during a bond hearing Thursday afternoon. Roman had previously filed a federal lawsuit after he was shot at the Chicago Transit Authority’s (CTA) Grand Avenue station. In his suit, he alleges he was having an anxiety attack when Bogard and fellow officer Bernard Butler “harassed, chased, tackled, pepper-sprayed, tasered and shot” him twice....

Dramatic CCTV footage of the incident surfaced on social media showing two men, armed with knives, storming the office while a man was undergoing a regular check-up. However, unbeknownst to the alleged robbers on the clip, the man in the chair was in fact an off-duty police officer and things were about to go badly wrong for the criminal pair. Shared on Reddit by netmiss under the caption “Happy ending for dentist’s office being mugged” the clip chronicles the entire dramatic confrontation and has earned over 60,000 upvotes already....

Eyewitness video from the game, posted by Twitter user Sara Carpenter, shows the man being ejected via police escort, while other spectators in the gym chant the chorus to the Steam song “Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye).” School officials asked that the officer seen in the video, Sergeant Chris Carson, remove the offender from the school, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

It features a politically shrewd Republican president–a hard-liner on foreign affairs–facing, for the most part, a pack of Democratic senators. This was Nixon in 1972 against a field that included McGovern, Muskie, Bayh and “Scoop” Jackson. Same for Reagan in 1984 against Glenn, Hart and (former senator) Mondale. It isn’t the kind of history Democrats want to repeat: they were trounced on both occasions. But if they want to avoid the same fate, they need to be creative, and lucky....

Galloway makes the argument in her letter that since messages on self-deleting apps cannot be retained, then policies must be changed along with the enactment of supporting legislature. Communications policy in the state auditor’s office has already been revised. These apps, such as Confide, automatically get rid of messages once they are read. Galloway believes any communication between those in government are matters of public record and should be retained....

Obama is not implicated in Rezko’s alleged illegal activities. But the candidate’s name could surface in the trial, and the murky relationship between the two men— especially Rezko’s part in Obama’s purchase of a house—has become an issue in the campaign. A NEWSWEEK guide to the facts and faces in the case: Who is Tony Rezko? An American citizen in his 50s, Rezko came to the United States from Syria when he was 19 years old and made a fortune in fastfood restaurants and low-income public-housing projects....

The statement comes amid concerns that the president is out of touch with senior-ranking members of his administration, who in recent days have walked back Trump’s threats to attack Iran’s cultural sites in tweets from his Florida resort. Pompeo also seemed to soften the justification for the attack. Last Friday, Trump called Soleimani “the number one terrorist anywhere in the world” in his announcement of the strike. “Soleimani was plotting imminent and sinister attacks on American diplomats and military personnel, but we caught him in the act and terminated him,” he said....

Apart from a healthy bottom line, these disparate companies have little in common—with one key exception. All have a huge presence in emerging-market nations. And not only are these emerging markets holding their own in the face of strong headwinds from the United States, but they are contributing ever larger portions of revenue, profits and market share to businesses in the developed world. This is not to say that the much discussed economic “decoupling”—the sunny notion that developing nations can still flourish even as the rich world is stalling out—is suddenly a done deal....

The study, Attachment to God and Psychological Distress: Evidence of a Curvilinear Relationship, was authored by Matthew Henderson and Blake Kent. It appears in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion and relies on a national survey’s worth of data from the 2010 Baylor Religion Survey. Henderson, an assistant professor of sociology at Union University, said the study is from his dissertation and observes the relationship between different types of religious beliefs and psychological well-being....

Liverpool rob the rich, but give to the poor The Spaniard’s goal came after a goal-mouth scramble but was waved off with the official calling a foul during the play. Popovic was furious at the call during the match, even getting a talking to from the referee. After the game the manager wouldn’t say what was being said during the game, but let his frustrations be known. “I just don’t want (say) to because it’s too many times,” Popovic said....

While most European countries allow vaccinated U.S. citizens to enter, each country has its own entry requirements and there often additional restrictions for travelers who have not been fully vaccinated. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you do not travel internationally until you have been fully vaccinated. The agency has ranked every country based on their level of COVID-19 risk, ranging from Level 1 (Low) to Level 4 (Very High....

Hours later, they announced their new formula. It turns out Clinton’s aides had undervalued their candidate’s position—and in doing so, revealed the absurd lengths they will go to in trying to persuade the media (and superdelegates) to discount the delegate math, which gives Obama a virtually insurmountable lead. As it happens, Clinton is now ahead in the popular vote total even when caucus states are included—if Michigan and Florida are also included....

Mayor Ted Wheeler said he wanted “immediate” talks to begin with Wolf after clashes between federal law enforcement and protesters continued in the Oregon city over the weekend. The mayor also indicated that he wanted to discuss a “cease-fire” with the acting DHS secretary amid the ongoing scenes of violence in the city, which have led to a number of injuries.

Hatfield U.S. Courthouse. Elijah Schaffer, a member of conservative media company Blaze Media, posted the video to Twitter on Saturday. Initially claiming that it was members of Antifa, an “anti-fascist” activist group, behind the incident, Schaffer wrote: “Using a blow torch, Antifa burns an American flag they hung over the courthouse barrier....

Why does Kaka still top MLS salaries? Portland has sold out every regular season and playoff game at the 91-year-old stadium since entering MLS in 2011, with more than 13,000 fans on the club’s season ticket waiting list. The stadium, which also plays host to the NWSL’s Portland Thorns, boasts a capacity of 21,144 that sits in the bottom half of MLS venues.
