Two-time Formula One world champion Alonso triumphed alongside team-mates Sebastien Buemi and Kazuki Nakajima in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) race on Sunday. However, a breach of regulations discovered in a post-event review of Toyota’s two cars led to their disqualification and their one-two finish in the United Kingdom consequently being wiped off. Toyota have opted against contesting the results, meaning Rebellion Racing have been awarded first and second position, with Mathias Beche, Thomas Laurent and Gustavo Menezes in the winning car....

The 14th edition of the Caf Confed Cup first leg final promises to be a thrilling affair as these two sides renew their rivalry once again having met twice in this year’s competition already. In the group stages, the two sides cancelled each other out as they played to two successive stalemates. The DRC giants had taken a two-goal cushion inside the first 26 minutes, but goals from Teboho Mokoena and a second half strike from Aubrey Modiba saw the South African side produce a magnificent come-from-behind draw in the DRC....

“State of the Union,” Ullman’s first sketch-comedy show since becoming a Yank, is full of celebrity takedowns. In addition to Cosby, blog baroness Arianna Huffington; Lindsay’s mom, Dina Lohan; Larry David’s environmentalist ex-wife, Laurie, and actress Renée Zellweger are exposed to Ullman’s satirical wrath. “A lot of it is easier than it looks,” Ullman says. “With Renée Zellweger, for example, all you basically do is just squint as much as you can....

Already Nintendo has revealed what the first wave of the Booster Course Pack will contain, and it seems to include many fan favorites. Players will be able to race through Ninja Hideaway, Sky Garden, Shroom Ridge, Tokyo Blur, Coconut Mall, Choco Mountain, Toad Circuit, and Paris Promenade. Those tracks will surely fill countless hours, but that leaves five more waves that have yet to be revealed. With the extensive history of Mario Kart there are many different tracks that could be included....

Sterling told his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, who is of Black and Hispanic descent, that he did not want her consorting with black people in public or bringing them to Clippers games. MORE: Magic says Sterlings shouldn’t own team | Jordan ‘disgusted’ with Sterling comments Sterling's words have cut through the NBA, which is composed of mostly black players. So, while the Trail Blazers might not have a direct connection to the Clippers, they too are affected by Sterling's racist rhetoric....

The Blazers dominated the first half and entered the halftime break with a 65-50 lead. Damian Lillard struggled in the half, but CJ McCollum’s 16 points had Portland in reat position to steal Game 2. Golden State didn’t go quietly, however. The Warriors outscored the Blazers 39-24 in the third quarter, including a 24-6 run at one point, and the teams headed into the fourth tied 89-89. 2019 NBA Draft: SN’s mock draft, post-lottery addition...

ALTER: How are you feeling physically? EDWARDS: Fine. I had a broken rib, a fairly benign condition, but that’s the only uncomfortable part. Let’s talk about what I think a lot of cancer survivors think of as being almost harder than the physical pain: the emotional cost. When I was first diagnosed, I was going to beat this. I was going to be the champion of cancer. And I don’t have that feeling now....

Fernandinho – Shakhtar Donetsk to Manchester City (£34m) What’s the deal? City have pursued Fernandinho for the best part of two years and finally get their man. City are determined to make big moves having been caught up by other nouveau riche PSG and Monaco and this is their way of doing so.Is the price right? No, it’s insane. He had a £42.5m release clause which City have ‘managed’ to negotiate down to £34m....

Los Blancos had considered moving for both Radamel Falcao of Monaco and Manchester City’s Alvaro Negredo but have decided that the Mexican - who has been told that he is free to leave Old Trafford - represents the best option. Hernandez is seen as a player who can add an extra goal threat but one who will not compromise the standing of the club’s biggest stars, with Karim Benzema currently first-choice center forward....

MORE: Biggest summer transfers | Soccer’s beautiful fans | WAGs In January, the 28-year-old suffered an injury that dramatically altered the course of his career. His knee ligaments were seriously damaged during a Coupe de France match against Chasselay, leaving the striker to fight a hopeless battle to be fit for the World Cup — the event that should have been his crowning glory. His move to Monaco was meant to be a pit stop before a switch back to Madrid, a necessary stepping stone to allow him to transition to the Bernabeu without breaking an agreement made to former employer Atletico Madrid....

It was, of course. And so began the great gold rush, during which half a million people–miners, speculators and prostitutes–poured into California. As chapters of national history go, this one was colorful but short: by mid-1849 the easy gold was gone. But many of the rush towns in the Sierra Nevada foothills remain, and a trip to California’s mother-lode country can be a cheap, sarsaparilla-swilling good time. We began at the southern end of Highway 49, a twisty two-laner that winds around mountain peaks and through rolling oak-studded hills....

A driver costs about $35 an hour, with a minimum of three hours. WeDriveU, a San Mateo, Calif., firm, provides the drivers. Time-pressed business customers like the new service because drivers can pick up the car and collect renters at baggage claim, says WeDriveU CEO Dennis Carlson. And it’s still cheaper than hiring a limo service. One customer, for example, recently rented a car and driver at New York’s La Guardia Airport for a day of meetings....

Planning your flight: Choosing a route is often the first step in making a long-haul flight with kids successful. Direct flights are best, but if you have a layover, try to schedule it near the beginning of the trip. “There’s no way I’d want to tell the kids they have another flight after they just survived 11 hours in the air,” says Scott Grove, who crosses the Atlantic as many as five times a year from Rome with his wife and three kids....

That scream became a rallying cry for fetal-rights groups, which seized on a stunning photograph of Samuel’s tiny hand emerging from his mother’s uterus during surgery. Since then, anti-abortion activists have posted the image on dozens of Web sites to show just how real human fetuses are–even those that aren’t yet viable. And that’s just fine with the Armases. “We’re very glad it’s gotten visibility,” says Alex. “That wasn’t our fetus, that was Samuel....

Age is an important consideration when looking at moisturizers, too. That soft, smooth baby skin is thinner and more permeable, handles moisture differently, and is less able to keep itself moist and healthy than adult skin. This makes treating and preventing dry skin in children especially important. Moisturizer Moisturizers are a must for treating or preventing dry skin in your child. However, not all products are created equal. The greasier, the better: In general, ointments are usually better than creams, and creams are usually better than lotions when it comes to moisturizing dry skin....

It’s been a bit of a disaster week for Spurs; following a remarkable comeback win over Fulham, Mauricio Pochettino’s men were then dumped out of the EFL Cup by Chelsea before suffering a disappointing 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace, putting paid to their FA Cup hopes in the process. The feeling amongst most Tottenham fans is simply that the squad might be too thin to sustain a challenge in the Premier League and Champions League, and while Kane, Eriksen, Alli et al might prove that wrong, a January signing with two days left in the transfer window might raise fan morale at least....

On the eve of his sixth campaign in charge, Spurs boss Pochettino admitted the time had come for him to deliver silverware. The comments contrasted with his previously held view that a trophy was less important than cementing a place in the Premier League’s top four. Tottenham achieved that top-four aim last term while reaching the Champions League final, which they lost 2-0 to Liverpool. Pochettino claims his goals have not changed since that result and are not necessarily an accurate measure of success....
