The weather had not been kind to the Indians in Tianjian for the last couple of days, affecting their training sessions....

“It’s like the stock market,” Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said. “At some point, there has to be an adjustment.” New Orleans pounced when the Cavaliers cooled. Anthony Davis had 38 points and 13 rebounds, and the Pelicans came alive in the second half to beat Cleveland 140-126 on Wednesday night. The Cavs hit just 8 of 22 3-pointers in the final three quarters, while New Orleans scored 41 points in the third quarter and 40 in the fourth for a runaway victory....

Limiting the number of children in day care was a “huge financial strain” on the centers, she added....

Revis reportedly intercepted two Brady passes at training camp on Saturday. From the Boston Herald: “The first occurred during 1-on-1 drills when Revis undercut the (Julian Edelman) route by the sideline. The next came during 11-on-11 work when Edelman appeared to create separation but Revis quickly regained ground and quickly turned as the ball arrived to snatch it out of the air. The quick hands and reaction speed were very similar to what we’ve seen from Randy Moss in the past....

Hilaire, an often controversial and straight-talking administrator, told HTS Channel Four here on Tuesday that Sammy had been appointed to carry out the specific task of rebuilding the regional team, but that process had not yet been completed, reports CMC.

As the final whistle marked Manchester United’s loss to West Bromwich Albion at home, the mood at the Old Trafford stadium struck a solemn chord.

Above all, many Iranians—especially those from upscale North Tehran, where contempt of the populist Ahmadinejad runs deep—believe that both men cynically use religious fervor for political ends. Hence another joke heard around town: “Well, we finally managed to export our revolution—to the U.S.!” That’s a reference to Bush’s regular invocation of the Almighty to justify his policies (“Freedom is not America’s gift to the world, it is God’s gift to mankind” used to be one of his favorite phrases)....
