The 46-year old has won three Open Championship titles, two of them at the Home of Golf. Woods claimed his first Open title at St. Andrews with a 19-under-par score in 2000 — the course record in the event. However, Woods’ latest trip to Scotland hasn’t proved as beneficial. Woods was on pace for one of his worst rounds ever in a major during Thursday’s Round 1, and barring a spectacular comeback, it seems that he will not be making the cut for the weekend....

Davontai Lee, 28, was working as one of several operators on the Hydra ride at the Clay County Fair on Friday evening. The ride consists of a hanging claw that riders are strapped into with an over-the-shoulder harness. Once riders are secured on the ride, the floor drops down and the claw lifts up and begins swinging, hitting about 60 feet in the air. In cellphone footage taken by Aurelia Smith, Lee struggled as the metal floor structure squeezed on his upper abdomen and trapped him from freeing his lower body....

About 80 percent of the world’s oil is controlled by national oil companies. Some of these state-owned enterprises operate at world-class standards, notably Petrobras of Brazil, Petronas of Malaysia and Aramco of Saudi Arabia. In those places, production is increasing. But most of the large state firms (including CNPC) have much lower operating standards than multinationals, such as the ones leaving Venezuela. This is due largely to political interference. The inefficient bureaucracies of state-run firms are too slow and incompetent to reinvest record industry profits in the modernization of their aging oilfields....

The family’s heartbreak began when Shah borrowed $2,000 from a local trafficker, promising to repay the loan with 24 kilos of opium at harvest time. Late last spring, just before harvest, a government crop-eradication team appeared at the family’s little plot of land in Laghman province and destroyed Shah’s entire two and a half acres of poppies. Unable to meet his debt, Shah fled with his family to Jalalabad, the capital of neighboring Nangarhar province....

Rank-and-file Republicans warmed to the idea of a $908 billion coronavirus measure, a key Democratic duo—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer—have jumped on board with the compromise as a starting place and President Donald Trump pressed for Congress to strike a deal. But elusive from the fray was Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who continues to try and coral support for a stimulus worth less than $500 billion—a narrow relief bill that top Senate Republicans have unsuccessfully tried to pass for months....

Optune is indicated as a treatment to prevent cancerous cells from recurring following chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Mounting evidence suggests that these devices are successful in significantly improving prognosis for those with GBM. Uses As noted above, the Optune device is indicated to treat glioblastoma. This brain cancer is aggressive, and it has been shown to develop either from adult neural stem cells or oligodendrocyte progenitor cells. GBM symptoms arise once tumor growth has started impacting other parts of the brain and include headache, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, with other symptoms arising based on the specific location of the cancer....

“These federal forces are beating, tear gassing and detaining my neighbors,” Wyden said. “If the line is not drawn in the sand right now, America may be staring down the barrel of martial law in the middle of a presidential election.” Wyden, a Democrat, addressed his concerns to Patrick Hovakimian, an associate deputy attorney general at the U.S. Department of Justice whom President Donald Trump nominated in May to become the new general counsel for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence....

The fire, which has been burning in Oregon since July 6, has so far destroyed 388,360 acres in the state while only being 32 percent contained, according to the federal InciWeb wildfire tracking site. The blaze is spreading quickly as it only reached the 300,000-acre mark on Monday morning, with the fire looking likely to pass 400,000 acres destroyed on Wednesday. Although at least 70 homes have been destroyed and more than 2,000 residents have so far had to evacuate their residences in the state, the fire has not been reported to have claimed any lives or caused any injuries....

Brain pathways, or neural pathways, are circuits of interconnected neurons (nerve cells) that enable the transmission of electrical signals between different parts of the brain. In humans, one of these networks called the “arcuate fasciculus” pathway is known to be crucial for language. “This is a pathway that interconnects brain regions that are important for language. If this pathway or some of these regions it interconnects are damaged because of stroke or brain degeneration a person might immediately (because of stroke) or progressively (because of dementia) lose the ability to understand or to produce language,” Chris Petkov, lead author of a Nature Neuroscience study from Newcastle University in the U....

It was one of two deals by the O’s on Saturday. In the other, they acquired outfielder Alejandro De Aza. They traded away four minor leaguers. They also got Michael Almanzar in the Johnson deal from the Boston Red Sox. The deals also look forward to the postseason, since they came before Sunday’s deadline for players to be eligible. Johnson will help the Orioles plug a hole at third base, which is a chasm because stalwart Manny Machado is out for the season....

The game, originally scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET, was expected to either be postponed or moved to 4 p.m. ET to accommodate the city-wide 10 p.m. curfew mandated by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. The club postponed Monday’s game roughly 40 minutes before the scheduled start time with about 1,000 fans inside Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

Schoop, a 22-year-old top prospect in the organization, took advantage of injuries and opportunity this spring and has a chance to be Baltimore's starting second baseman on opening day. First the injuries. Manny Machado likely won't be ready for opening day, and Ryan Flaherty will slide to third base until Machado returns. Schoop is beating out Jemile Weeks in spring training, though veteran Alex Gonzalez could also make the roster....

We’ve seen no movement at the top and bottom of the power rankings since opening weekend, but several teams in between are leapfrogging one another as we head into the first international break of the season.

The winger, who turns 27 on Tuesday, broke in with FC Dallas in 2008, playing five seasons before his move to England....

Prosecutors have rested their case against the double-amputee runner who is accused of murder in his girlfriend's death. In a rare public comment, Pistorius said he was going through "a tough time" as the case advanced. "We've got a lot ahead of us," he told reporters after the court adjourned Tuesday. Defense lawyer Brian Webber said Pistorius is "likely" to take the stand to open the defense case. "I don't think we have a choice....
