He is regarded as one of England’s finest players in modern times, playing for the Three Lions on 115 occasions, a record bettered by only Peter Shilton (125) and Wayne Rooney (119). But even Beckham had to deal with doubt as a child, claiming a coach in the England youth setup told him he would never go on to make it at senior international level....

In fact, “Topdog” has an epic feel made all the more thrilling by Parks’s linguistic panache. It’s also hilarious. At one point, Booth rips off a store and comes home sporting his haul: two suits, two shirts, two ties, even two pairs of shoes. He then puts on a strip show that’s better than anything in “The Full Monty.” If “Topdog” has a flaw, it may be that Parks flaunts her comic and verbal dexterity at the expense of building to her fatal climax....
Closed head injuries, similar to traumatic brain injuries, come from blunt trauma to the noggin that results in swelling of the brain. What actually causes the swelling—blood, fluid, inflammation, etc.—depends partly on where inside the cranium the damage is found. The cranium is a closed space, for the most part. It’s the part of the skull that encloses the brain. The other half of the skull is made up of the facial bones....

The decision affects the Central Park Carousel, Wollman and Lasker skating rinks, and Ferry Point Golf Course—all of which are operated by Trump’s business empire....
“Will you—you still have the surveillance tape, is that correct? Will you—are you allowed to share that with the country?” Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Eric Trump on Monday. “Absolutely, Sean. At the right time,” Eric Trump replied, adding that all law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, should wear body cameras for transparency reasons. Eric Trump’s claim confirms what Christina Bobb—one of the former president’s lawyers—already said last week about security cameras being on at the Florida home during most of the FBI search on Monday, August 8....

Spence, 29, has now fashioned a 25-0 (21 KOs) ring record.

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. When it was "haircut" time, you'd be plopped down in a chair in your kitchen or in the bathroom while your mom or dad hacked away at the mop on your head. Sometimes they'd physically put a bowl on your head like a sorry-looking helmet stencil so they could snip away those locks a little more accurately. And no matter who did it or whether or not they used the failsafe bowl stencil, it always looked the same....
