The VA has moved to oust all six of the representatives from Florida from having small offices at two local medical facilities, spaces that the lawmakers’ staff use to provide services to constituents and veterans. In a letter from the VA dated August 30, the Congress members were advised that as of the end of 2019, their staff will no longer be afforded the office space to meet with any constituents, including veterans who seek help to receive proper VA benefits and treatment....
Vettel said that despite everything, they have confidence in their chances of winning. Vettel stated that obviously, it’s not getting greater, in the event that you complete behind, yet who knows, it takes one DNF and after that out of the blue things appear to be unique - preferably two! - which he is not wishing on Lewis but rather no one can tell what happens. He also said that: they have to remain large and in charge, which perhaps they haven’t been totally this end of the week: ensure that from where they are currently, they centre around winning the last races....
The four-time Formula One world champion has endured a miserable time since winning at Belgium in August 2018, while Leclerc had claimed back-to-back triumphs heading to Singapore, where a surprising pole followed. Leclerc appeared set for a hat-trick, too, until Vettel was allowed to undercut him as the 21-year-old came out of the pit lane at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Mercedes took a big risk with their own tactics, leaving Lewis Hamilton out longer in a bid to build a lead over Vettel, Leclerc and Max Verstappen before pitting, though the plan did not pay off....
It isn’t always that—sometimes, it is Hiroshima and Nagasaki—but the old Middle East appears to be crumbling bit by bit, decision by decision. Two fundamental propositions underpinned the old Western (i.e., State Department) view of the Middle East: that the Palestinians had to be satisfied before the Arab states could make peace with Israel; and that this was, in large measure, due to the adamant and sometimes violent “Arab Street” that would rise up against conservative Arab leaders if the Palestinians were unsatisfied, or the status of Jerusalem changed....
Because injury is a way of life in the NFL. Serious injury can reach up and devour one’s career at any time. That can never again be held against a great player’s career when Hall of Fame time comes around. It’s unlikely, of course, that Cruz will ever be in the discussion for Canton … but you never know how good he might have become had he not suffered the kind of knee injury that has people remembering where they were when they saw it on national TV during a Sunday night game in Philadelphia in 2014....
The New York Giants star receiver said Wednesday that Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman needs to let his play do the talking after Norman wasn’t covering Antonio Brown during Monday night’s blowout loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. “Especially if he calls himself — I don’t call him this, he calls himself the best corner in the league — then you have to go cover the best receivers on the other team,” Cruz said, via ESPN....
The 26-year-old has not played for the Blues since he was replaced in their 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on October 14. And the former Juventus boss who is elated with the wing-back’s recovery disclosed that he could play a part against Jurgen Klopp’s men at Anfield. “His condition is good. For sure he needs a bit of time to recover the best form,” Conte told club website. “Tomorrow he is in our squad....
Azarenka has looked capable of adding to her two grand slam titles this year, but the No. 5 seed will not achieve that feat at Roland Garros after retiring with a knee injury when trailing 3-6, 7-6 (8-6), 0-4 against Karin Knapp. Kerber won her first grand slam title at the Australian Open in January, but fell at the first hurdle in Paris when Kiki Bertens beat the No. 3 seed 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 on Court Philippe Chatrier....

The 18-year-old who is heavily linked with Chelsea as well as Arsenal scored an incredible long-range goal in the 92nd minute of the match. When the match looked like heading for a draw with the score at 2-2, the youngster picked up the ball and unleashed a belter from 35 yards out which caught the goalkeeper by surprise. The goal handed champions Anderlecht a perfect start to their campaign as they look to defend their title which they won last season....
Super Mane sparks Liverpool to life Mbappe, 18, became the youngest player to score three times in one French top-flight match since a 17-year-old Jeremy Menez in 2005, while the in-form Radamel Falcao added a double to keep second-place Paris Saint-Germain at bay. Mbappe, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal and recently compared to Thierry Henry by Gunners manager and former Monaco boss Arsene Wenger, fired home the opener after Falcao’s cushioned header, and the Colombian added the second in the 10th minute with a near-post finish from Almamy Toure’s cross....

Barcelona were awarded a free-kick in the 88th minute and Busquets was standing over the ball alongside Xavi. Trailing 0-1 through a Jeremy Mathieu goal 15 minutes prior to the incident, Orellana took out his frustration in the most comical of circumstances. He threw some grass at Busquets to tell him to hurry with the free kick. The referee, however, spotted the incident and immediately sent the Chilean off....
