Les Rouges eased past upcoming World Cup hosts Qatar 2-0 on Friday, with a pair of early goals securing the victory. Cyle Larin and Jonathan David found the net, giving Herdman a comfortable win in his team’s first match against an opponent from outside the North American region since they began their World Cup qualifying quest in 2018. The next match against No. 13-ranked Uruguay will provide much stiffer competition....

After the quite unexpected Spanish Grand Prix, the teams went to the French Riviera to take part in what is almost entirely the most iconic of Formula 1 races: the Monaco Grand Prix. The race was filled with drama and debris. The teams now head to North America to take part in the Canadian Grand Prix held at Montreal. Following are a few facts and figures about the event:...

The inaugural North American 10-team league tournament will begin in August 2015 and will consist of professional cricketers from Canada in addition to some of the biggest T20 superstars from around the world. “I fully support the growth and development of international-calibre T20 cricket through the Canadian Premier League and the direction being taken by Roy Singh, the League’s founder and CEO,” Ramdin, who was recently appointed West Indies Test captain, said....

Montreal on Thursday sent Rene Bourque, who’d cleared waivers earlier this season, and his $3.3 million cap hit for this and two more seasons, to Anaheim for defenseman Bryan Allen. On Nov. 11, the Habs sent forward Travis Moen to Dallas for defenseman Sergei Gonchar, who is also in the last year of his contract. The end result of those two deals: Montreal has cleared more than $5 million from their cap projection heading into an offseason when, as noted by Habs Eyes on the Prize, their RFAs include Brendan Gallagher and Alex Galchenyuk....

I HAVE CANCER. I AM NOT ALONE. CANCER DIRECTLY AF- fects at least one in four Americans. There is a similar rate in Europe. It would be difficult to find one person in our global community who does not have a relative or close friend with cancer. Yet many of us experience, along with our disease, a devastating loneliness. Another set of numbers: 40 percent of American homes now have computers, and 16 percent of all households have computers with modems that allow them to communicate over telephone lines....

On Monday afternoon, Osaka, 23, formerly ranked No. 1 by the Women’s Tennis Association, announced that she was withdrawing from the French Open a day after she was fined $15,000 by the tournament organizers for refusing to take part in press conferences. Last Wednesday, Osaka announced that she would not take part in media interviews due to their effect on her mental health, and after pulling out of the event on Monday, she elaborated on her struggles explaining that she has suffered from “bouts of depression” since 2018....

Early Democratic primary state voters seem in favor of more government regulation of Wall Street. But are all presidential candidates listening? Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders lay it out as a top priority: In their view, the American financial system has devolved into a disaster for the vast majority of those in the country’s working and middle classes, and if we want to reduce wealth and income inequality between them and the super-rich, we first have to shake up Wall Street....

MORE: Greatest boxing, MMA upsets of past 25 years Golovkin (35-0) had been the WBC interim champ, along with being the WBA super middleweight champion and the IBF and IBO middleweight champion.

Alvarez (55-1-2, 37 KOs) will put his WBA, WBC and The Ring belts against Saunders’ (30-0, 14 KOs) WBO belt in their super middleweight bout. But both fighters stand to come away considerably richer after their bout — understandable, considering it’s an early candidate for fight of the year. Here’s a look at how much Canelo and Saunders could earn, as well as each fighter’s net worth ahead of the fight:...

title: “Caped Crusader” ShowToc: true date: “2023-01-19” author: “Opal Maust” For the last seven years, you heard of McFarlane only if you were an adolescent male somewhere between 13 and 30. Remember how teeny-boppers responded to ““Ladies and gentlemen . . . the Beatles!’’ That’s about the reaction at conventions McFarlane attends. But despite sales of 110 million comic books in 21 languages in 118 countries, along with 10 million toys, the Spawn niche is pretty much coextensive with acne....

• Buy stuff. Business owners can take a tax deduction of up to $125,000 for equipment they buy in 2007 without having to depreciate it, says Mildred Carter, a senior tax analyst with research firm CCH. That includes computers, cars and even the iPhone that you use exclusively in your business. You can buy it all on Dec. 31 and still have it count against your 2007 taxes, but why wait that long?...

Bush’s fate is tied to the outcome in Iraq, which continues to worsen. Two top Iraqi officials were assassinated in the last week; a bomb blast brought oil production to a standstill and dozens of Iraqis were killed and 100 more wounded by a bomb as they stood waiting at an Army recruiting station. Bush blamed the escalating violence on the approaching June 30 date to hand over sovereignty, as though the situation will improve once the interim government is in place....

The International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) honors women journalists around the world for the work they perform under the most daunting conditions. Among this year’s winners are Tatyana Goryachova from Ukraine, who had acid thrown in her face because of articles she had written about government corruption, and Manelos Monzon of Guatemala, whose house was broken into and car destroyed by machine-gun fire in an effort to keep her from writing about human-rights violations....

In South Carolina, where Thurmond is revered, politicians recoil from talk about a possible successor. Gov. Jim Hodges, a Democrat, says it’s “ghoulish” to speculate on who he might name to fill the seat should Thurmond leave the Senate. When Hodges was elected in 1998, and Strom was a month shy of 96, Hodges promised he wouldn’t appoint anybody who would then run for the seat-in other words, anybody with a political future....

But before the final tally, Senate Republicans are expected to offer an amendment that would weld the various provisions of McCain-Feingold into an inseparable whole. It means that if the bill became law, and the U.S. Supreme Court were to find any one part of it unconstitutional, the entire measure would be thrown out. Right now, the bill includes a “severability” clause-as does most legislation-that would keep it on the books even if certain parts didn’t clear the constitutional bar....

In a statement Thursday, the police chief noted the officer’s policing powers have been suspended. “The USCP had a robust plan established to address anticipated First Amendment activities. But make no mistake–these mass riots were not First Amendment activities; they were criminal riotous behavior,” said Sund. “The actions of the USCP officers were heroic given the situation they faced, and I continue to have tremendous respect in the professionalism and dedication of the women and men of the United States Capitol Police,” he added....

The Changing Effectiveness of Sleeping Pills It is not uncommon for sleeping pills to gradually work less well as treatment continues. Initially, the medication offers sweet relief: a night of uninterrupted sleep. However, gradually the medication may seem to begin to fail you. It is less effective, not seeming to work like it once did. You may even find that you need to escalate the dose to get the same impact....

Can You Change Siri’s Name to Jarvis? Despite its many benefits, some people don’t like the name Siri and would prefer to use a different one like Jarvis (from the Iron Man movies). You may find tutorials online promising to show you how to change Siri’s name to Jarvis and even change its voice. Still, those tutorials require you to jailbreak your iPhone, which voids the warranty and could result in a completely useless iPhone if you make a mistake....

If only it was easy math… Look at your place in the queue, estimate production capacity, a little division, and voilà! You could figure out roughly when you’d have your Cybertruck. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case—though some people are trying with a crowdsourced spreadsheet unaffiliated with Tesla. If you’re a spreadsheet nerd and want to try to figure it out yourself, here are the variables you’ll want to consider....
