Like it or not, America is being cast as the world’s globocop, especially since its mighty display of air power in Yugoslavia. But those who imagine that the U.S. emerged from Kosovo as the unquestioned enforcer of world peace haven’t been watching Asia. Simultaneous crises are erupting in a 4,000-mile arc from South Asia to Taiwan and the Koreas in the east, and U.S. officials are finding the tensions more intractable than ever....

Fiat didn’t say exactly where the electric 500e would land, but did say it will be targeted to select areas where short ranges are needed and the electric infrastructure is good. “The Fiat brand had for some time been assumed to be on its way out of the US market. Dealerships across the country have closed and been replaced by Alfa Romeo and Maserati stores,” president and chief analyst at AutoPacific told Newsweek....
As one who thinks that Newt Gingrich’s lapses are more serious than his supporters allow and still much less serious than the whole array of charges the Clinton White House is trying to vaporize, I don’t put the two situations on equal footing. What seems alike about them is the ways in which the larger political collectivity here is trying to handle and/or evade their implications. When you are trying to understand the players in these dramas, to figure out which are doing right and why so many seem muddled or compromised or mousy or downright mendacious in approaching the charges against their leaders, there are three considerations you should take into account....
The Confederations Cup is a tournament Mexico’s FA (the FMF) has said it values not only for the competitive aspect but the logistical aid it provides ahead of the World Cup. In 2013, it provided a welcome reprieve to a horrible World Cup qualification campaign and helped Mexico get a bit of a boost amidst dark times.

The Malaysian FA (FAM) has announced the granting of club licensing to three more teams for the 2018 season. Kedah, Melaka United and Kelantan have been cleared to participate in the 2018 Super League, according to a statement released by FAM on Thursday. The three clubs have had their license applications denied earlier, but have successfully appealed to the FAM Club Licencing Board Appeal Board last Friday. But the association clarified that the licences granted to them are only the FAM licence and not one granted by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), which permits participation in the 2018 AFC Champions League or AFC Cup....
Korver, the only player in the league shooting better than 50 percent from deep, has set the NBA on fire this season with a scorching 52.3 percent of his 3-point attempts going through the hoop. Korver is tied with Curry (39 percent) and the Trail Blazers’ Wes Mathews (39 percent) with 161 3-pointers made. Mathews is the seventh betting choice at William Hill at 9-to-1 odds. Curry will be participating in his fourth 3-point contest and is still searching for his first trophy....
But in Houston’s 3-1 Game 2 win over the Rays in the American League Division Series, he came up big. After closer Roberto Osuna gave up a run and loaded the bases with one out in the ninth, Harris came in and shut the door with a strikeout of Travis D’Arnaud and an easy groundout by Kevin Kiermaier. The forgotten man in 2018 is now the savior in 2019. Three takeaways from Astros’ nerve-wracking ALDS Game 2 win over Rays This game was Gerrit Cole’s masterpiece If anyone doubted that Gerrit Cole was going to be making more than $200 million this year, or $300 million or $400 mil—you get the picture, this game showed they were gravely mistaken....
The first-team offense led the way in a 24-14 victory for “Team Auburn,” which played the entire first half before handing the reins to the reserves in a running-clock second half. And, while the defense lacked depth thanks to an outbreak of injuries across the depth chart, a few players handed in impact performances against the second-team offense.

Only now, there’s a little more juice to the Big Ten’s need to get off the mat in non-conference games: a little thing called the College Football Playoff. Because strength of schedule will be such an important factor in selecting the CFP’s four teams — we’re told, anyway — the Big Ten needs key non-conference wins not only for teams involved in the CFP chase, but for teams who played the teams involved....
The most common type of throat cancer is called squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This and other types of throat cancers are most often caused by environmental factors, including smoking or chewing tobacco. Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is an increasing cause as well. Additional exposures that increase the risk for throat cancers include alcohol and betel quid, a stimulant used in Asia. This article reviews the appearance of several types of throat cancers and briefly describes their symptoms....
MVP Westbrook had his way with the Warriors on Wednesday, scoring 34 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists and even enticed Durant to get chippy on the court which is exactly what his former team-mate wanted. The Warriors never got going offensively shooting 41.3 per cent from the field and 32.3 per cent from three-point range. Durant – who recovered from an ankle injury to play – did have 21 points and five rebounds, but he was one of just three Warriors to score in double digits on the night....

The Oklahoma City Thunder get set for their final game before All-Star break, hosting the New Orleans Pelicans as 11.5-point favorites. The total is set at 219.5. With Vegas having OKC as 11.5 point favorites, but AccuScore simulations having the line at 10, taking the points is an appealing pick. The Pelicans cover a 11.5-point spread in over 80 percent of simulations. MORE: NBA live odds page | NBA ATS standings...

When constructing your lineup for this game, be sure to look at the Bucs’ injury report at approximately 6:50 p.m. ET Thursday because all of their wide receivers and Leonard Fournette are all dinged up. Any late surprise scratches could create unexpected value, but overall, our lineup below can work quite nicely as long as Mike Evans or David Montgomery don’t have monster games.

Because of all the injuries, there are only a few MVP options that make sense. We almost went contrarian with our top choice, but ultimately we opted for the safest player, as we’re taking on additional risk with one of our sleeper picks. We’re leaving $1K on the board right now because of the lack of worthwhile high-salary options, and that gives us a bit of wiggle room in case a player dealing with an injury is surprisingly active....
