The former world number one, who lives in Houston, had not won on the LPGA Tour since 2014 but vowed last week to donate her entire earnings from the event to the region, which is coming to terms with the devastation wreaked by the storm. And the American posted a three-under-par 69 on Sunday to edge Chun In-gee by a single shot to end her three-year wait for a win and land a pay packet that she hopes will help rebuild lives....

The LG G2 Philosophy The latest from LG offers an all-new design of pure gestures on the display screen and placing of buttons at the back. The G2 houses a 13MP advanced rear camera shooter with OIS technology (optical image stabilization), zapping out blurry shots & ideal for moving targets or shaky hands. Also, this 13MP camera performs with a 8x digital zoom via its Sapphire Crystal Glass lens, its 9-multi-point autofocus allows for full HD recording with a playback at 60 frames per second....

With a current retail value of $499.99 from LG’s website, can a gaming soundbar really live up to that kind of price tag? It’s Portable… But Not Really With added features such as the built-in battery, internal microphone, and a wide array of ways to connect to the device, on paper at least, the additional price might seem justified. But the LG UltraGear GP9 falls short of the portable speaker competition thanks to a very meager five-hour battery life, the lack of any IP rating, and a fairly bulky and awkward shape....

As one of the first makers of an Android Wear smartwatch, it’s no surprise that we have various models to choose from. The new LG Watch Urbane and Urbane LTE drop the ‘G’ from the name but look very similar. This is strange but nevertheless what LG has decided to do and what’s even more confusing is that the LTE model isn’t simply the same watch but with 4G connectivity....

Osaka has admitted feeling burdened by expectations after last month’s stunning victory in New York, saying she puts pressure on herself to “do more, do better”. The 20-year-old world number six was also in tears after her “bittersweet” US Open win, which was marred by Serena Williams’ explosive row by the chair umpire. “I believe with her abilities and strength, she can win many (Grand Slam titles) – that is if she really has the desire to be a champion,” Li told AFP ahead of the Hong Kong Open....

Lidocaine works by blocking pain signals sent by nerves, causing a temporary loss of feeling in the area applied. Lidocaine is available in various forms. Lidoderm is a prescription-only transdermal patch (lidocaine patch 5%) often used to treat pain from post-herpetic neuralgia, a chronic complication of shingles. Lidocaine is also available by prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) under several other brand names and as a generic. Other forms include topical gel, ointment, and viscous solution....

No Hazard, no Chelsea: Mou does a job on Chelsea But Rashford would leave to a standing ovation as he was replaced by Ibrahimovic in the 83rd minute. What had ensued was one of the most mature, probing centre-forward displays of United’s season. On an afternoon when the young England striker’s performance was put under the spotlight like never before due to Ibra’s absence, he delivered in spades. Not only did the 19-year-old open the scoring in United’s 2-0 victory at Old Trafford, but he also delivered a stirring display which gave the Chelsea defence not a moment’s rest....

Some familiar faces from the big, powerful teams are included Goal’s weekly countdown of the best goals. This is an honor judged by merit, though, and for that reason it’s a relative unknown scoring just his fourth Liga MX goal taking the top spot. It’s a goal that may have topped last week’s winner that we said wouldn’t be topped all season. 3. Mateus Uribe (America) - 68’ vs. Leon Paul Aguilar did not succeed at first but got a second chance to set up a goal....

By Tuesday night, Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov inscribed his name beside Lemieux’s on that list. Kucherov tallied his eighth goal in seven games to even things up against the New Jersey Devils. As Lightning captain Steven Stamkos created a logjam in the middle of the ice, Kucherov was left open by the Devils defense. Stamkos found the perfectly placed Kucherov, who then sent a slapshot past Devils goaltender Cory Schneider....

The domestic front has once again proven to be child’s play for PSG, with the Les Parisiens already 15 points clear of the second-placed Lyon. What makes this more interesting is the fact that the reigning champions are yet to drop a single point in the Ligue 1, with 14 victories from 14 matches. Added to that the midweek Champions League victory over Liverpool, and Neymar and Co will eager for more goals against the low-ranked hosts....

The Yakuza series first debuted on PlayStation 2 in 2005 and despite receiving major success in Japan, the franchise failed to find its audience in the west despite localizations for all mainline entries and the post-apocalyptic spin-off, Yakuza: Dead Souls. Two Japanese history inspired titles known as Yakuza: Kenzan and Yakuza: Ishin did not receive localizations due to fears that western audiences would fail to engage with them. In 2017, the release of Yakuza 0, a prequel set 20 years before the first game, released to surprise success for the west, and this carried through to 2020’s Yakuza: Like a Dragon, which quickly became the franchise’s biggest success yet....

Especially when it comes to the Cairns duo – father Bernard Lance Cairns and son Christopher. They heralded the beginning of a bit of a joyous period for New Zealand cricket. The former had the honour of playing alongside the great Richard Hadlee; the latter was fortunate to play under the stalwart leadership of Stephen Fleming. And the journey they embarked upon had an almost eerie similarity in the paths they took, right until the twilight of their eventful careers....

Inter used Messi to make fans dream - sponsor The player’s father, Jorge Messi, is in Barcelona where he arrived last week to see to some personal matters. However, no talks have taken place and none are currently planned with Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu. The club chief said recently that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner would spend the rest of his career at Camp Nou and he himself is keen to manage negotiations for the forward’s next contract....

Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev were supposed to fight on December 19 and January 20, but both men tested positive for COVID-19, delaying the fight again. With Chimaev still recovering from the virus, the UFC issued a press release saying that the contest will be rescheduled. However, the UFC provided no date for the rearranged bout. With no date given, we can only speculate when it will take place. Here are three possible dates for Leon Edwards vs Khamzat Chimaev....

In 2021, the Leonids are active between around November 3 and December 2, with the peak expected on the night of November 17-18 between midnight and dawn, according to the American Meteor Society (AMS.) The Leonids are characterized by fast, bright meteors, many of which have persistent trains—trails of vaporized material that glow in the sky. In ideal conditions—when the shower is viewed from a rural location with a dark sky—it is possible to see between 10 and 15 Leonid meteors per hour around the time of the peak....

Rina S Khan, Chair of the Islamabad Wildlife Management Board, said villagers “ganged up” on the leopard after it was spotted near Hattian Bala village on the morning of February 8. Pakistani television channel Geo News said people began screaming as the leopard was spotted wandering around the village. Locals cornered the leopard, which then attacked two people causing minor injuries. The mob then began throwing stones at the animal, causing it to die from excessive bleeding....

Hutch is going on now. MORE: NCAA first round, in photos | Interactive bracket Is there a point guard there? Maybe, maybe not, who knows except the rare breed of scout who scours the junior colleges? But the NJCAA Division I championship has to be worth a long look for coach Matt Painter and his assistants, because the Boilermakers will not reach the success possible for them if they continue down their current path....

This may come as a surprise to those who assume that all news media are liberal, but if you live outside of a major city, think for a moment about your small- to mid-sized hometown newspaper, not The New York Times. This kind of journalism—local papers that are rooted in communities—is disappearing, and the places most at risk of losing their local news are places where a lot of conservatives happen to live....
