A recent report by Botswana publication Weekend Post suggested that with Steve Komphela likely to be headed towards the exit door at Naturena due to his lack of success during his tenure, Chiefs have already reportedly begun scouting the football world for their next appointment, with the Serbian head coach believed to be one of their targets. However, Kavazovic has denied that he has been contacted by anyone claiming to be from Amakhosi, but admits that if Chiefs’ interest does culminate in a suitable offer, he will not be closed off to the idea for a possible switch in the off-season....

But, while playing the Switch undocked has been a preference for me, I never felt the ease of playing it on the train like I did with my DS or any other Nintendo handheld. There was always something of a disconnect between the Switch and on-the-go gaming, which muddied much of the point Nintendo was trying to make with the Switch’s original design. In that sense, the Switch Lite appeared to be the prevailing solution to my problem....

With hotly contested midterm elections looming in November, a crucial question comes to mind: What can we learn from the 2020 presidential election, which came at a time when Americans were particularly politically engaged, due largely to social media? After all, the debate over that presidential vote raged online in the run-up to Election Day, and for months afterward. (For some die-hard Trump supporters, it still does.) Everyone from your distant cousin in Michigan and a crack addict-turned-pillow salesman to celebrities from Ben Affleck to Zendaya weighed in....

The NIT in 2021 will see more than a few changes as the NCAA — not to mention local and state health agencies — try to navigate the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While not ideal, changes to the NIT are preferable to NIT at all. The 2021 participants likely would have preferred their respective seasons to end with a dose of March Madness — that is true for several notable NCAA Tournament snubs — but the National Invitational Tournament could serve as a jumping-off point for teams looking to make the next step in 2021-22....

Series odds: With the Cubs on the brink of elimination, there is a ray of hope among fans the team can overcome huge odds and return to the Fall Classic for the first time since 1908. GM Theo Epstein’s Red Sox are the only team in MLB history to come back from a 3-0 deficit and win a best-of-seven series, accomplishing the feat against the Yankees in 2004. Can this team conjure up a similar fate?...

But was it really his last game? Bryant’s former teammate Shaquille O’Neal believes the “Black Mamba” is ready to make a comeback after the Lakers locked up LeBron James this summer. Shaq recently told TMZ Sports he has no plans to return to the league — O’Neal is 46 years old and hasn’t played in the NBA since 2011 — but added, “Kobe coming back. You heard it here first....

Such stories have become increasingly common in New Jersey since Megan’s Law took effect in early January. The statute requires police to notify neighbors when a sex offender like Marter moves into the area. By the weekend, Marter, who served 16 years after enticing a 7-year-old boy into his car and then fondling him, had been “ridden out of town on a rail,” remembers Holt; parole officials moved Marter to the neighboring town of Beverly....

The psychedelic series arrives at a time when interest is growing in the therapeutic effects of “magic mushrooms.” Over the past few decades, research has increasingly shown that the drug can assist treatments for depression, anxiety, and addiction. But others fear that the show’s not-always-realistic depictions could “derail” progress made in research. Ever since various psychedelics were criminalized in the late 1960s and 1970s as part of the War on Drugs, which curtailed funding for research, many remain wary of the public’s sway over drug opinion and policy....

The 44-year-old has been in charge of the first team since Ronald Koeman was sacked in October. Everton or Draw 5/6 v Southampton Watford’s Marco Silva and former Manchester United and Bayern Munich manager Louis van Gaal have been most heavily linked with the job in recent weeks, but Everton appear to be no closer to making an appointment.

How would you feel if hundreds of billions of federal dollars failed to make things better? How would you feel if poor farmers burned your private estate, or if your business were plagued by endless inspections and banks made it impossible for you to withdraw your lawful deposits? How would you in America like it if your president, instead of putting your own house in order–tapping enormous domestic potential–decided to go begging for money from former archenemies?...

If it were possible to be a true war god, to aim every arrow that flies, to smite every foe and avenge every wrong, maybe Donald Rumsfeld would be that man. But it is not, and in Greek tragedies the gods themselves are brought low by pride. In Washington, where the assassin’s weapon is usually a well-placed leak, Rumsfeld last week was left explaining, with uncharacteristic pitifulness, that he had not seen the actual pictures that appalled the world until eight days after the images first appeared on CBS’s “60 Minutes II....

Former Kelantan head coach Velizar Popov has announced that he will not be returning to the side for the 2018 season, citing disagreements over policies. In a social media post, the Bulgarian trainer revealed that discussions between him and the East Coast side have fallen through as the club have declined to let him pick the players and staff. “KAFA (Kelantan FA) will not meet my most important requirement; for me to be able to pick my own staff and local as well as foreign players....
