Antonio Conte’s side cruised to league glory last season and they will be determined to get off to a winning start at home as they brace themselves for a sterner challenge in 2017-18. Burnley, on the other hand, narrowly avoided relegation from the division last term and they are expected to mount another fight against the drop this year.

Alderman Carrie M. Austin represents the 34th Ward of Chicago, where Jackie Robinson West played its home games. After hearing of the punishment handed down by Little League, Austin defended the young players who starred on television as representatives of Chicago. “They are still champions, and I believe people across this city will feel just like I do,” she told the Chicago Tribune. Other politicians shared similar sentiments and expressed their disappointment for the children, but then Austin went off the rails and aimed her words at Little League....

The Cougars are slated to play at Seattle on Thursday and Utah Valley State on Saturday in Western Athletic Conference action, but Stadium’s Jeff Goodman, citing unnamed sources, reported Tuesday that the school told the conference that the team will not travel to those games.

A Native American group plans to sue the team in federal court next month, CBS Cleveland reports. Robert Roche, a Chiricahua Apache and director of the American Indian Education Center, says the lawusit will contend the team name and logo are racist. “We’re going to be asking for $9 billion and we’re basing it on a hundred years of disparity, racism, exploitation and profiteering,” said Roche, who is also the leader of the group People Not Mascots....

“I think he has three more treatments left,” Evan Berry told The Star. “To be honest, I don’t really see it affecting him. He’s a very strong person, and he’s continued to keep strong.” Evan Berry, a sophomore defensive back at Tennessee, said his brother’s strength at the time of the diagnosis is what kept him confident. “It was scary,” Evan Berry said. “But he wasn’t worried, so I wasn’t worried....

For the second weekend in a row, the Chargers are on “Sunday Night Football” facing a team clad in red. This time, instead of the 49ers, it will be the division-rival Chiefs, who they faced on “Thursday Night Football” in Week 2 of the season. There’s a reason these teams are often in prime time. They have delivered frequent classics in showdowns between Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes. And with the Chargers now a spot back of the last playoff spot and their AFC West hopes seemingly contingent on a win at home against Kansas City, this should be a matchup of two determined teams....

The Chiefs moved on from Tyreek Hill this offseason after the two sides reportedly couldn’t agree on a new deal. That, though, is no issue for Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes Even with a reworked wide receiver room, Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offense didn’t seem to skip a beat in Week 1 vs. the Cardinals. Mahomes found Travis Kelce for eight receptions for 121 yards and a touchdown, while Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire controlled the ground game....

Childhood-onset schizophrenia is characterized by distorted thinking, altered perceptions, unusual behavior, and unusual use of language and words. It can severely affect a child’s development and their ability to function on a daily basis. Childhood schizophrenia is a difficult disorder to diagnose, partly because it is not well understood. The diagnosis requires the exclusion of other medical or mental health conditions that may have similar symptoms. The gold standard for diagnosing childhood schizophrenia is using the American Psychiatric Association’s criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)....

The virus has since spread worldwide, infecting more than 4.4 million people and killing more than 303,000, according to Johns Hopkins University. The issue was quickly politicized, and the pandemic has colored China’s relations with its most prominent rivals and partners. Having contained its own initial outbreak, China pivoted to assist worse-hit nations in Europe and North America. Millions of pieces of equipment and groups of medical personnel were sent abroad to support other nations, in what at first seemed like a significant PR coup for Beijing....

But we were being naive. Beijing’s goals are far more sweeping than the chicken-and-monkey metaphor could encompass. Today’s targets are not just domestic media and foreign correspondents, not just our Chinese sources and local assistants. Less than two years before Beijing hosts the 2008 Summer Olympics, authorities are in the midst of a concerted—and disturbing—effort to slam stricter controls on what Chinese know and how they know it. The aim of the recent crackdown is not only to silence individual “troublemakers,” but also to beef up institutional controls over the free flow of information....

Amid reports Friday that President Donald Trump approved an $8 billion sale of F-16V fighter jets to Taiwan, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying argued that such moves “severely violate” the one-China policy—through which Washington only officially recognizes Beijing over Taipei. She also criticized three joint communiqués that bolstered bilateral ties and saw the U.S. promise to decrease military support for Taiwan. Hua warned the latest actions “constitute interference in China’s internal affairs and undermine China’s sovereignty and core interests....

The People’s Elephants recorded a bright start to their group stages campaign with a home triumph over foes Djoliba to top the standings on a goal-advantage after the opening matches. Before the encounter, Paul Aigbogun’s men were unbeaten in their last six matches in the Nigerian top-flight and that was accountable in their 2-0 win courtesy of second-half goals from Isiaka Oladuntoye and Stanley Dimgba. Both Enyimba or Djoliba, who were hoping to stun the hosts, having eliminated MFM FC in the playoff round were evenly matched throughout the first 45 minutes of the cagey encounter in Calabar on Sunday as the two teams ended the opening half in a goalless draw....

Eyeing a sixth straight home Premier League victory against their rivals, Chelsea had to settle for a point that leaves them three adrift of the two Manchester clubs at the top of the table. While Cahill still feels the result was a good point, he left the match feeling they could have emerged with more. “It was frustrating in some ways,” Cahill, 31, told his club’s website. “We tried to create....

Back-to-back league defeats to Bournemouth and Watford, in which they conceded seven goals, have led to questions over the future of Blues boss Antonio Conte . Cahill concedes the speculation over the Italian’s position is starting to be felt by those inside the club but insists the squad are united in their desire to turn their season around. “We are at that road where you can either turn left or right....

Jenner’s first appearance as a Fox News contributor, only hours after the network announced that she had been hired, came in the form of a short interview with host Sean Hannity on Thursday.
