MADISON, Wis. Air Max 2018 . -- J.T. Barrett escaped Wisconsins pressure and shook off a mistake.Ohio States do-it-all quarterback proved his mettle after halftime in the toughest of road environments, accounting for three touchdowns and setting a school record in the process.Barrett threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to leaping receiver Noah Brown in overtime, and the second-ranked Buckeyes finished off the eighth-ranked Badgers with a sack on fourth-and-goal from the 4 for a 30-23 win on Saturday night.Barrett also ran for two touchdowns for the Buckeyes (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) in a contest that had the intensity of a championship heavyweight bout.That was just two good teams going at each other, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said.He had the best player on the field on his side.The touchdown throw in overtime gave Barrett his 89th career touchdown passing or rushing, breaking the school record previously held by quarterback Braxton Miller.The Buckeyes rushed the field after defensive end Tyquan Lewis sacked quarterback Alex Hornibrook to end the thriller. Just in time too, after school officials warned fans that severe weather was rolling through the area right before the final play.Ohio State got the ball first in overtime, with Barrett ending the possession with the pass to Brown for the go-ahead score.Barrett finished 17 of 29 for 226 yards with one interception, and ran for 92 yards on 21 carries.We grew up even more this week, Barrett said.Corey Clement ran for 164 yards on 25 carries for Wisconsin (4-2, 1-2) and its revived rushing attack .The Badgers gained chunks of yards in the first half on the Buckeyes vaunted defense, but often had to settle for field goals. They led 16-6 at halftime.It took a little while for Ohio State to get its bearings in the second half.We just had to keep on grinding. This Big Ten football, Barrett said.But Barrett, as usual, led the charge. Wisconsins defense often got to Barrett in the backfield and tried to contain him in the pocket, only to watch him slip away with just enough time to hit big passes.You look at those things ... how can we finish, coach Paul Chryst said. At the same time, you say, `Hats off, hes a heck of a player.THE TAKEAWAYOhio State: Barrett shook off his interception into the end zone during heavy rain early in the third quarter. He hit long pinpoint passes, often on the move, into tight coverage. The Buckeyes made it a point to work on the passing game leading into the game after problems last week against Indiana. That work paid off, though it didnt come easy against the Badgers tough defense.Wisconsin: Chryst dug deep into the playbook to throw off the Buckeyes in the first half, running receiver Jazz Peavy on jet sweeps and passing out of tight formations. The Badgers had manageable third-down situations, for the most part, for Hornibrook. Wisconsin picked up another first down in the fourth quarter after faking a run before Hornibrook threw a shovel pass to tight end Troy Fumagalli for 4-yard gain. The offensive-minded Chryst showed creativity that should keep Wisconsins opponents guessing for the rest of the season.This one is tough ... because we didnt come into this one hoping to keep it close, Chryst said. This one hurts tonight.POLL IMPLICATIONSOhio State: The Buckeyes padded their playoff resume, but dont figure to leapfrog top-ranked Alabama in the Top 25 poll on Sunday after the Crimson Tides 39-point win over No. 9 Tennessee.Wisconsin: The Badgers are the best 4-2 team in the nation with a losing record in their conference. Wisconsin also lost two weeks ago to No. 4 Michigan, 14-7, at the Big House. They figure to fall a few spots in the poll, but shouldnt be severely penalized given their admirable performances against top competition.STAT LINESOhio State: Barrett completed passes to eight different receivers. .... RBs Mike Weber and Curtis Samuel each finished with 46 yards rushing.Wisconsin: Hornibrook, a freshman, was 16 of 28 for 214 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. ... Peavy finished with 70 yards on six carries, and 76 yards receiving on four catches, including a 24-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter that gave Wisconsin a 10-0 lead. .... The Badgers outgained the Buckeyes 450-411.UP NEXT:Ohio State: The Buckeyes play the second of two straight night games at a tough road venue when they visit Penn State on Oct. 22.Wisconsin: There is no letup in the schedule with a trip to Iowa up next. The tested Badgers are coming off a stretch of having faced three straight top 10 opponents.---More AP college football: http://www.collegefootball.ap.org Clearance Air Max Shoes Nike Air Max Mens Sale . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good. http://www.airmaxtrainerswholesale.com/ .

NEW YORK -- Turns out, Syndergaard is awfully fast on the racetrack, too. Chaussures Nike Destockage .A horse named after hard-throwing New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard won the $200,000 Funny Cide Stakes at Saratoga on Friday, blowing away the competition by eight lengths.The team made mention of Syndergaards racing success upstate in its game notes Friday and said the 2-year-old colt is an early favorite for next years Kentucky Derby.In a release provided by the New York Racing Association, winning trainer Todd Pletcher said: Yeah, he came with the heater today.The Mets said track announcer Larry Collmus exclaimed that Syndergaard was throwing the hammer down.NYRA said Syndergaard the horse is owned by Eric Fein, a Mets fan from nearby Long Island.Syndergaard the pitcher -- nicknamed Thor -- has quickly blossomed into a horse on the mound in two seasons with the 2015 NL champions. And the 6-foot-6, 242-pound right-hander would like to meet his namesake, Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said.Officials are trying to set that up sometime soon, after the horse returns to Belmont Park, which is only a 12-mile drive from Citi Field.Fein is not the only thoroughbred owner with a soft spot for the Mets, though. NYRA said Jonathan Green owns a horse named DeGrom, after pitcher Jacob deGrom, while Michael Imperio has saddled Cespedes, for slugger Yoenis Cespedes, and Mr Met in his stable with blue and orange colors.DeGrom also ran Friday but wasnt quite as successful as Syndergaard, finishing third in the fifth race at Monmouth Park in New Jersey.

The Charlie Strong era with the Texas Longhorns is over.One day after a 31-9 loss to TCU capped another disappointing season in Austin, the Longhorns opted Saturday to fire Strong, who was 16-21 in three years at the school.Decisions like this are tough to make. The responsibility is not taken lightly, athletic director Mike Perrin said in a statement announcing the firing. Coach Strong represented The University of Texas with class and dignity, and he demanded our student-athletes do the same by adhering to his system of core values. However, after thorough evaluation, the body of work over three seasons has not shown the improvement we were hoping for. This was an important year for our program to take the next step, and the results simply arent there, so weve decided to make a change.We appreciate Coach Strong so much, are grateful for all he has done with our program and wish him the best in the future.Texas (5-7, 3-6 Big 12) again failed to clinch a bowl bid in 2016, instead finishing with its third seven-loss season under Strong, who was 12-15 in Big 12 play.?He is the first Texas coach with three consecutive losing seasons in program history.In the end, the results over three seasons were not there, university president Greg Fenves said in a statement. It was not clear the future was going to be at the levels expected of Longhorn football.Strong is owed a buyout of $10.7 million for the remaining two years on his contract, a fee that would be reduced if he were to take another job.Houstons Tom Herman was announced as Strongs replacement?Saturday.Strong stressed that, despite their record, the Longhorns were well-positioned for future success.The foundation has been laid here, Strong said. The thing is, weve been building it for three years. Even when I looked at it, I said the third year well make progress, the fourth year will be our year.Its just like baking a cake. The cake has been baked. The only thing you need to do now is put the icing on it and slice it. Thats what this team is. The cake has been baked. Now its just ready to be sliced.Strong called the firing a very difficult day in a statement Saturday.Im most disappointed for these kids and our staff who have poured so much of their lives into this program for the last three years, he said. I do understand that it comes down to wins and losses, and we have not done our job in that area yet. I accept full responsibility for that but know in my heart that we accomplished our primary goal, which is the development of young men. ... There are very bright days ahead, and Ill be pulling for these kids no matter where I am.Shortly after the decision to fire Strong was announced, defensive lineman Charles Omenihu tweeted, I love you coach.Strongs final season at Texas began with a 50-47 double-overtime victory against?Notre Dame, which was a preseason top-10 team but entered Saturday 4-7. The win moved the Longhorns from unranked to No. 11 in the Associated Press Top 25.But that game would not prove to be a turning point for the program.After losses to Cal and Oklahoma State, Strong demoted his longgtime defensive coordinator Vance Bedford and put himself in charge of Texas struggling defense. Soldes Chaussures Nike. The Longhorns pulled off an upset victory against?Baylor and had an opportunity, if they won out, to finish 8-4 and save Strongs job. After close losses to West Virginia and a one-win Kansas team, coupled with Fridays blowout loss to TCU, the Longhorns instead finished at 5-7.Some Texas boosters had been exerting extreme pressure on Texas leadership to move on from Strong and pursue Herman, ESPNs Brett McMurphy reported last weekend. Fenves and Perrin publicly offered their support for Strong during the season, and Strong acknowledged last week that Fenves would take a long look at the programs progress at the end of the season.But Texas first loss to Kansas since 1938 sealed Strongs fate, sources told McMurphy last weekend, and he will finish with the worst winning percentage of any head coach in school history.I just felt like every year it turned into being all about me, and it should never have been all about me, Strong said after Fridays season-ending loss. It should have been about those guys being given an opportunity to enjoy the game. It never happened for them. They felt it. Thats whats so disappointing is they felt they had to defend me at every turn.Strong replaced longtime Texas coach Mack Brown in January 2014, after successfully rebuilding Louisville, where he went 23-3 in his final two seasons.Strongs hiring was a social leap forward as he became the first black football coach in school history, but his short tenure was marked by turmoil, losing football and a divided fan base.Texas went 6-7 in Strongs debut season and lost to Arkansas in the AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl to end a tumultuous year in which nine players were dismissed from the program and starting quarterback David Ash suffered a career-ending concussion in his first game.Strong had been coaching through hot-seat speculation ever since a 1-4 start to the 2015 season. He demoted offensive playcaller Shawn Watson after a season-opening loss to Notre Dame and struggled through another up-and-down year for a 5-7 finish despite upset wins against?Oklahoma and Baylor.After the season, Strong hired Tulsas Sterlin Gilbert as his new offensive coordinator and brought in four more new assistants. The Longhorns finally developed a successful quarterback this year in true freshman Shane Buechele, who had 2,958 yards passing and 21 touchdowns. Running back?DOnta Foreman?leads the nation in rushing and topped the 2,000-yard mark for the?season Friday.Despite that offensive talent, Texas came up short in too many close games, with losses by margins of 3, 3, 4, 5 and 7 points this season. Against Kansas, the Longhorns gave away six turnovers and blew an 11-point fourth-quarter lead. With Fridays loss to TCU, they were 1-18 when trailing at halftime during Strongs tenure.Information from ESPN staff writer Max Olson and The Associated Press was used in this report.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Commissioner Rob Manfred is confident Major League Baseball teams fully disclose medical records, but said his office has demonstrated that it will use discipline as a way to discourage rules violations. Air Max 97 Soldes .Manfreds comments during an appearance in Texas on Tuesday came less than a week after MLB suspended Padres general manager A.J. Preller for 30 days without pay for his actions in the Drew Pomeranz trade to Boston.The punishment given to the San Diego executive for failing to disclose medical information was unprecedented in baseball.I think the penalty speaks for itself, Manfred said, without getting into specifics about his reasoning for that penalty.The commissioner said teams are sent annual guidelines in how medical records are to be maintained.I think that our clubs in general fully disclose medical records consistent with a long-standing practice in baseball, he said. Im confident that our clubs adhere to those guidelines.Manfred appeared at an athletic forum for SMU before joining Rangers and city of Arlington officials for an update on the plans for a new entertainment complex and a new stadium for the team.Among some other topics:- Asked about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernicks national anthem protest, Manfred said Kaepernick has the a right to express his view.Look, I respect, and baseball has always respected, peoples rights to express their views, Manfred said.- While not wanting to get into getting into any specific issues that will be negotiated, Manfred said he is optimistic about our ability to get a new collective bargaining agreement. The current contract between owners and players will expire Dec. 2.Theres been a lot of work done already. I think the pace of that work is going to pick up as we get closer to the end of the season, he said. I think that people on both sides of the table understand that the games doing well, and what should be most important to both sides is making sure we keep the game on the field for our fans.

Indias only individual Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra, missed out on a medal by the narrowest of margins in the 10m air rifle final, finishing fourth in a tight shootout at the Olympic Shooting Centre with a score of 163.8.The gold medal went to Nicolo Campriani (206.1) of Italy, Ukraines Serhiy Kulish bagged silver with a score of 204.6, while Vladimir Maslennikov of Russia scored 184.2 to win bronze..This is the last time Bindra will be seen in a shooting competition as he has announced his retirement after Rio and leaves the sport as Indias most decorated shooter and premier Olympic sportsman.It was an excruciatingly nerve-wracking final with the hall packed to capacity. Bindra walked in slightly awkwardly and took his place on Lane C. The announcer at the venue was quite vociferous but for Bindra and the rest of the shooters in the field, it was almost as if he didnt exist. Bindra was steady but unspectacular in his first series of six shots that included two scores of 9.7.Once the field started to whittle down after the eighth shot, Bindra, the only previous gold medalist in this event among the eight competitors suddenly found his mongrel. He reeled off an impressive sequence of high tens as the arena started to throb with expectation. Each shot was met by a vociferous cheers from the Indians in the hall as even hardened journalists whove seen it all before started to entangle themselves in the moment. Bindra, impassively as always, continued to move up the field and was in medal contention as shooters started to drop off. Four fell by the wayside, leaving only four.A 9.7 on his 15th shot and 10.2 on his 16th tied Bindra with Serhiy Kulish of Ukraine. The now or never moment was here, all that training all the toil all the effort down to one shot to be an Olympic medalist, whats more Indias first medal at the Olympics. Bindra shot a 10, but his rival responded with a 10.5. The dream was over. Bindra walked back, measured and collected as ever, though a collective gasp of despair engulfed the arena. He would finish his career as an Olympic gold medalist but also as a man who came so near yet so faar. Air Max 97 Pas Cher En Ligne. An official walking past this writer exclaimed We are having such bad luck, missing out by such small margins.That in essence is the whole point of this brutal, unforgiving sport. Fine margins between joy and agony. Bindra is only 33 but walks into the sunset perhaps with a tinge of agony of what might have been in Rio de Janeiro, where he arrived as a self-proclaimed hobby shooter and almost clinched glory.Qualifying roundIn the qualifying round, Bindra had finished 7th with a score of 625.7 to make it to his third Olympic final. Gagan Narangs campaign ended with a score of 621.7 and a 23rd place finish. There were more than a few frayed nerves at the shooting arena with a strong Indian contingent made up mostly of journalists and officials swaying on a roller coaster ride. Bindra was his usual self, serenity personified but by faltering in the fourth and fifth series, he undid some of the good work from a solid start. When the final series began, with Bindra out of the top 10, his teammate Narang had already left himself with too high a mountain to climb so hopes rested entirely on Bindra.The nervous faces of members of the shooting contingent told its own story with the results so far having been well below expectations. Bindra responded with a nerveless effort to score 105.2 and was to make the last eight on what will be his last day of competitive shooting. Abhinav reached his first final in Athens in 2004 as a 22 year old. He was to finish eighth in the Athens final, but four years later created history by winning Gold at the Beijing Olympics.As the final few shooters finished, many nails were being chewed with a bit of churn towards the lower half of the leaderboard. Once confirmed the Indian contingent broke into infectious applause. Italian shooter Niccolo Campriani finished the qualification rounds with an Olympic record of 630.2.Narang will compete in two more events in Rio - the 50m rifle and the 50m three-position. For Bindra, it was his final goodbye.

Laser treatment of scars: How does laser treatment of scars work?

Laser treatment of scars reduces the appearance of scars. It uses focused phototherapy to remove the outer layer of the skin surface or stimulate the production of new skin cells to cover damaged skin cells.
Fractional CO2 resurfacing laser treatment of scars can reduce the appearance of blemishes, skin wrinkles, age spots, scars and keloids. It does not completely remove the scar.

Safety

This procedure requires a local anaesthetic to numb the skin. Sometimes you need to be calm.
The treatment of scars is an outpatient procedure. It should only be performed by a dermatologist certified by the committee.
Minor side effects of the procedure include pain, swelling, redness and temporary exudation. These effects usually disappear within a few days.

Convenience

This program does not have a long downtime. You can heal in about 3 to 10 days.

cost

The cost of laser treatment for scars varies. Its price ranges from $200 to $3,400, depending on the size of the scar and the extent of the treatment.
efficacy

Although scars cannot be completely removed, studies have shown that laser treatment can effectively reduce the appearance and thickness of scars.

Scar laser treatment

Laser therapy uses a focused beam of light to treat damaged areas of the body. It eliminates tumours and other growth, improves vision, prevents hair loss and treats pain. Laser treatment can also improve the appearance of scars.

How does laser treatment of scars work?

Laser scar treatment does not cause scars to disappear. Instead, they are designed to make scars look less noticeable.

The process of repairing the wound after the skin has been injured. Scarring occurs on the wound to protect it from bacteria and then eventually falls off. Sometimes the skin under the scab is the same colour as the rest of the body. However, depending on the depth of the lesion, scarring usually leaves after the scar has fallen off.

These scars may fade or become light over time. When the scar becomes permanent, laser treatment can be used to remove the outer layer of the damaged skin surface. They basically smooth the skin and improve skin tone and appearance.

These lasers are also used to target blood vessels in scar tissue and reduce redness. They can also penetrate the surface of the skin and stimulate the production of new skin cells.

Scar laser treatment procedure

During your consultation, your doctor will decide on the best way to improve your scars. Your choices may include the following:

Ablation or laser resurfacing

This type of treatment improves the appearance of scars, blemishes and wrinkles. Surface resurfacing removes the outer layers of the skin and eliminates skin cells that are damaged at the surface level. Your doctor may use Fractional CO2 Laser machine to treat deeper scars or use a holmium laser to treat surface scars.

Fractional laser surface resurfacing

The laser penetrates deeper layers of the skin surface to remove dark cells. This process also stimulates collagen production and skin cell renewal, which can make your scars less noticeable.

Non-ablative laser surface resurfacing

The infrared thermal laser penetrates the inner layer of the skin. This also stimulates collagen production and cell renewal to replace damaged skin cells.

Laser treatment of scars is an outpatient procedure, although the length of surgery varies. You may experience mild discomfort during treatment. Your doctor will use a local anaesthetic to anaesthetize the area so you don't feel pain. If you are treating a bigger scar, you can ask for sedation.

The Air Jordan 5 Wings is not unknown to Travis, indeed, last year his collaboration with Jordan offered us an Air Jordan 4 in honor of the Houston Oilers. This year it is an Olive version that continues to unfold.The sample that we continue to discover offers a combination similar to its 2018 version. Indeed the latter offers an upper in olive nubuck with various black details on the side grids, on the tongue and on the laces. Lace-up loops offer a brown iteration with a tortoiseshell tortoise pattern. The Nike Air and Cactus Jack logos appear on the back of the shoe, tinged with red. Finally the two employees are once again honored inside the pair, on the insole and inside the tongue.The sole features a combo of a black midsole containing a tone-on-tone air-sole unit and an olive outsole.No additional information is available at the moment on the availability date or price, however, this Air Jordan 4 will be available later in the year. Travis Scott will also be offering Jordan 1 and Jordan 33 soon.

The two feet are visually quite eye-catching, and a Nike Logo is embroidered next to these words. This pair of shoes can also see the diversity of Nike Kyrie 5 color schemes. From the previous 'Taco' big hooks, to this time directly into English words, people also look forward to interesting changes in the future.From the technological point of view - we have a mesh upper with reinforcements in key places, where we also have various patterns, all with respect to Russ.We still have such goodies as the label with the size of the sole ... why not?
Both the Air VaporMax 2019 PRM White Lime Blast and the fashion event are celebrating their thirtieth anniversary this year, so there was no other option how to celebrate it with a special project that will be remembered. This was achieved thanks to a quite unprecedented treatment in the form of Swoosh reverberation upside down on the inside of the upper. However, this is not the end of the flavors that were decided when designing the Blazer Mid visible here. We see the vintage branding "Nike" on the tongue, while the "Class" and "1977" inscriptions are placed on the tags. The design of the shoe is based on a white leather upper, black leather Swooshu and gray suede overlay on the laces for shoelaces.Zoom Air still serves us for the cushioning, although it is only given that it is "max volume" but without any particulars or still on the whole length, forward + back, front only. Interestingly the back of the midsole, which resembles that of the Zoom Fly runners - is there any interchangeability of technology between disciplines?

NEW YORK -- A former journalist turned college professor, Kelly Whiteside is watching NBCs prime-time Olympics coverage this month for the first time in 16 years. Air Max Tavas Black . Shes surprised at what shes found -- not because the programs have changed so much, but because they havent.Its almost like a time capsule for me, said Whiteside, who covered several Olympics for USA Today.Much of what NBC does at other times is markedly different from what she remembers; the Olympics are spread around nearly a dozen different cable networks and every competition is streamed live online. Yet NBCs prime-time, the Olympics point of entry for the vast majority of viewers, has remained an island unto itself by sticking to a time-honored formula.Prime-time ratings are down this year from the record-setting London Games, and NBC says a big reason is because more people are watching cable or their devices. But its worth posing the question: Is the formula growing stale?NBCs prime-time focuses on a handful of sports -- swimming & diving, track & field, gymnastics, beach volleyball -- to the virtual exclusion of all others. Its a mix of live and plausibly live, or tape-delayed coverage that allows action to unfold as it happens. A narrative style humanizes otherwise unknown athletes, letting viewers page through a picture book that swimmer Ryan Murphy drew as a child or watch gymnast Aly Raismans parents squirm in the stands.A majority of viewers are women; 55 percent through Rios first six nights. NBC assumes many arent sports fans and, in an attention-getting comment last month, NBC chief marketing officer John Miller said that women are less interested in the result and more interested in the journey. Its sort of like the ultimate reality show and miniseries wrapped into one.That struck some fans as patronizing and reflective of a poor understanding of the audience in an era when women also make up the majority of the U.S. Olympic team.Weve all grown up playing sports, said Joanne Gerstner, who teaches sports journalism at Michigan State. We have kids that are playing sports. Who are these groups of women they feel are so alien to sports that they have to be catered to in this way? I dont know who these people are.Whiteside, who teaches at Montclair State University in New Jersey, said she appreciates knowing about the athletes competing. But, she said, I dont view the Olympics as reality TV. I view it as a great sporting event.Washington Post columnist Sally Jenkins wrote that a network would never think of cutting and pasting highlights of a football game around childhood film of Peyton and Eli Manning on a swing set. With its heavy packaging, NBC is living in the past, she wrote.NBC points to its live streams as evidence that people can watch events like the gymnastics finals live if they want. Showing the most popular sports at a time most viewers are available is a service both to the fans and those who bought more than $1.2 billion in advertising.The way we create our storytelling and our narrative, mixed in with incredibly compelling competition, I think is working for men, women and children, NBC Sports Group Chairman Mark Lazarus said this week. And thats our goal. This is a very big tent and all are welcome. We program, we schedule, and we try to create a show around the competition thats welcoming to all. And I think so far were finding success.NBCs Olympics operation is a deeply experienced and talented team. Gary Zenkel, in his 11th Olympics, runs the business operations. Jim Bell, former Today show producer, is the top producer. His first NBC job out of college was working at the Barcelona Olympics. Both count former NBC Sports President Dick Ebersol as a mentor; Ebersol himself was a protege of ABCs Roone Arledge and the up-close-and-personal Olympics coverage of generations ago.Three of the 27 executives profiled on the NBC Olympics press website are women.The teams experience, and the rarity of any TV programs reaching such a huge audience in todays fragmented world, makes it unlikely NBC will blow up the formula for prime-time to try something completely new.Given the rapid change in the way people watch TV in an on-demand world -- and a 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, where there will likely be less live competition to show on prime-time in the United States -- NBC may have to consider changes more quickly than it expects, said Andy Billings, a University of Alabama sports media professor and author of Olympic Media: Inside the Biggest Show on Television.And what would that new formula be? Thats the tough question.One idea would be a combination of live events with SportsCenter-like highlights and interviews, taking in a far greater range of Olympic sports. I think the audience would be even greater, Whiteside said.---Follow David Bauder at twitter.com/dbauder.

Watt, younger brother of three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and ex-Badger J.J. Watt, broke out with 2.5 sacks, 3.5 tackles for loss and a total of six stops last week against Michigan State.

India women 121 for 5 (Raj 73*, Amin 2-24) beat Pakistan women 104 for 6 (Maroof 25, Bisht 2-22) by 17 runsScorecard Indias dominance in the womens Asia Cup extended as they sealed their sixth title in as many editions with a 17-run win over Pakistan in Bangkok. Nike Air Force 1 Cheap China . It was the second consecutive time India had beaten Pakistan in an Asia Cup final, having done so in 2012-13 as well. The win also ensured India remained unbeaten in this years tournament, which was being played in the T20 format for the second time.It was Mithali Raj who set up the win, scoring an unbeaten 73 after India opted to bat and taking them to 121 for 5. The bowlers then sent down economical spells to choke Pakistan in the chase, restricting them to 104 for 6.Raj dominated almost every partnership she featured in. She started off by putting on 24 for the first wicket with Smriti Mandhana, who contributed just 6. After her dismissal, it was the turn of Sabbhineni Meghana to play second fiddle as she made 9 in a second-wicket stand of 44. Veda Krishnamurthy and Harmanpreet Kaur, the India captain, were also sent back for single-digit scores, before Jhulan Goswamis late cameo lifted India. Goswami pinged two sixes on her way to a 10-ball 17 before perishing off the penultimate ball of the innings. Raj had struck seven fours and a six in her 65-ball knock.Left-arm spinner Anam Amin topped the wickets column with 2 for 24 in four overs, while Sana Mir and Sadia Yousuf were economical in their respective quotas and took a wicket apiece.Pakistan scored at nearly a run a ball during the first half of the chase, but lost three wickets. Goswami had Ayesha Zafar bowled in the fifth over before Asmavia Iqbal fell in similar fashion in the next over, sent down by Shikha Pandey. Javeria Khan added 28 with captain Bismah Maroof, but could not make her start count as she was snuffed out by Ekta Bisht, the left-arm spinner, and Pakistan became 56 for 3. That third-wicket stand was the highest Pakistan could manage as regular wickets stalled them. Nida Dar and Mir made identical scores of 12 not out in late resistance, but both were kept quiet - neither scored a single boundary - as Pakistan fell short.Indias bowlers shared the wickets around. Bisht, who opened the bowling, took 2 for 22. Anuja Patil, Goswami, Pandey and Preeti Bose took a wicket apiece.

DALLAS -- Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton freely bent his left leg back and forth without feeling any pain seven weeks after extensive surgery on his knee. Air Jordan 4 For Sale Cheap .While still a long time from getting back on the field, Hamilton said Thursday that he expects to be fully healthy and ready when the Rangers get to spring training in Arizona before next season.Im just really excited that I feel likes it better, I feel like its fixed, Hamilton said. Now the only thing is taking my time, strengthen it up and be ready for next year.During surgery June 8 in Houston, Hamiltons anterior cruciate ligament was reconstructed. Dr. Walt Lowe also repaired meniscus and lateral cartilage in the knee.That was Hamiltons third surgery on the knee since September, along with cortisone shots and a stem cell and a platelet-rich plasma injection during spring training that may have actually led to more damage.When Hamilton went for a recent checkup, he told the doctor he felt good and then asked how the knee looked. The doctors response was unusually good, and when Hamilton asked what that meant, the doctor told him that at five weeks he was already at the point it took most patients 3 1/2 months to get to in recovery. But that also came with a reminder.He said the most important thing ... I know it feels good but at the same time youve still got some healing to do, so we really need to focus on that and going through the process of rehabilitation in the right matter, said Hamilton, who could start jogging again in about a week. Ive got plenty of time to not have to speed it up.In his first appearance for the Rangers since his surgery, Hamilton took part in a ceremony at the Texas Rangers MLB Urban Academy in West Dallas where a field has been named in his honor after contributing to the project.Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre was also there after making a contribution toward a major league-size turf field for an indoor facility that will be built on the 17-acre site. Beltres No. 29 will be inscribed in the turf.Hamilton was a five-time All-Star and the 2010 AL MVP in his five seasons with the Rangers from 2008-12. He left in free agency and signed a $125 million, five-year contract with the AL West rival Los Angeles Angels.The Angels traded Hamilton back to Texas last year when he was coming back from shoulder surgery, and agreed to pay the Rangers for all of his $24 million salary this season and $22 million of the $24 million the outfielder is due in 2017, the last year of that contract. Hamilton played only 50 games last season, hitting .253 with eight homers and 25 RBI.When Hamilton is removed from the 60-day disabled list after this season, he knows it is possible that Texas could use his roster spot for another player. That would mean the 35-year-old outfielder would have to report to spring training with the Rangers on a non-roster deal.I feel confident that when Im healthy, really healthy, Im just as good as anybody in the game, and I still believe that, Hamilton said. I dont expect anything as far as like `Oh yeah, here you go, heres your spot, or anything like that. I expect to go out there and play. If I have to win a spot, wherever that is, thats fine with me. Ill just be happy to be back out there and be pain free and playing again. Air Jordan 4 Clearance . LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. Cheap Air Jordan 4 .

Whoever takes the best guess will be in the best spot.The weather bureau is predicting up to 10mm of rain in Melbourne on race day, with most to fall before the start time of 1:15pm.That has Dumbrell and Garth Tander, who will join the Red Bull driver on the front row, at odds over the best place to be.With Tanders Holden Racing Team car No.2 to start on the outside of the track, he said it could allow him or co-driver Warren Luff to scoot into the lead by turn one.Id rather start on the outside of the front row. If its changeable weather, the outside line will be dry from previous races running across. The inside will probably be wet, he said.Dumbrell suggested an advantage might not materialise.The tracks quite abrasive ... it might be a little bit dirty on the inside but, with wet weather coming, its probably going to neutralise the whole track, he said.Rule changes add to the intrigue.Now that theyve taken out the four-stop minimum mandatory component of the strategy, I think youll see some variation of the teams over three or four stops, he said.Throw the weather in as well and itll be a very interesting day tomorrow.Scott McLaughlin, whose Volvo will start from third place, says there is just one factor that has him well poised for the endurance race.Im a Kiwi - I love the wet, he said.

A neat one-two around the area between Fabregas and Willian saw the former advance and curl his shot beyond Jordan Pickford.The second half began with the visitors still probing and looking the more llikely to add to their lead. Air Jordan 3 For Sale Cheap. David Moyes made a couple of changes around the hour mark which gave Sunderland only minimal extra impetus.Toward the 90-minute mark, it was Pickford still the busier of the two goalkeepers, but in the dying seconds Thibault Courtois crucially pulled off the save of the game by beating out a Patrick Van Aanholt effort which seemed destined for the top corner.Chelsea remained at the top of the pile, and Sunderland are still adrift at the bottom.

TROON, Scotland -- The Latest on the British Open (all times local):---7 p. Air Max Tavas Mens .m.Phil Mickelson is heartbroken, even after one of the greatest rounds in major championship history.Lefty shot an 8-under 63 in the opening round of the British Open on Thursday, but hell long remember the lipped-out putt at the 18th hole that cost him a chance at history.Mickelson couldve become the first player to shoot 62 at a major championship. Instead, he joins 25 other players whove managed a 63.Mickelson puts it this way: All those highlights and I feel like crying. Indeed, his 16-foot putt looked like it was right in the cup with a foot to do, only to veer off to the right, catch the edge of the cup, and stay out.The 46-year-old American knows these sorts of chances dont come along very often. At his age, especially, the odds are against Mickelson ever coming that close again. Thats why he describes it as heartbreaking.---6:45 p.m.Chris Wood of England has withdrawn from the British Open because of a recurrence of a neck injury.Wood withdrew after the 12th hole of his first round. He was 3 over par.---6:20 p.m.Phil Mickelson has become the 26th player in major championship history to shoot a 63.And he had reason to be disappointed.His 16-foot birdie putt on the final hole at Royal Troon caught the right lip and rode the edge of the cup without dropping. Mickelson stooped over and grabbed his knees in disbelief.It was the 28th round of 63 in the majors -- Greg Norman and Vijay Singh have done it twice -- and the ninth at the British Open. As a small consolation, Mickelson has the course record at Royal Troon. And he likely will have the lead.---5 p.m.Americans occupy seven of the top eight spots on the leaderboard at Royal Troon, not surprising because they have won the British Open the last six times on this links.One name stands out, however.Phil Mickelson joined Patrick Reed at 5-under par with a long birdie putt on the 10th hole, and he remains bogey-free through 12 holes. Mickelson hasnt won since he captured the claret jug at Muirfield three years ago.Some of the other Americans: Billy Horschel and Tony Finau both finished at 67 and were one shot behind, along with Justin Thomas and Steve Stricker. And not to be overlooked is Zach Johnson, the defending champion, who was 4 under through 10 holes.---3:30 p.m.Steve Stricker was nervous when he teed off at Royal Troon, and it showed. He had to scramble for par on the first hole and took bogey on the next hole. But the 49-year-old American settled down and shot 67, one shot off the lead.So why the nerves? Stricker said maybe it was because its been a while since he played in a major. This is his first major since the PGA Championship last year, and his first British Open since 2012.And it might be his last major. He currently is not eligible for the PGA Championship. Stricker says his agent, brother-in-law Mario Tiziani, has been asking him if Stricker wants to request an exemption. Stricker says he wont do it. He wants to earn it.This is the final event to qualify, and a top 10 might be enough to get in.---2:30 p.m.Three-quarters of golfs Big Four are back in the clubhouse on the first day at Royal Troon -- and Rory McIlroy has fared better than Jordan Spieth and Jason Day.McIlroy, who won the British Open in 2014 and missed the defense of the claret jug last year because of injury, shot a 2-under 69 and was three strokes off early leader Patrick Reed.Spieth bogeyed the last hole after an errant tee shot and had an even-par 71, while top-ranked Day shot 73.The other member of the Big Four is U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, who had an afternoon start. He bogeyed the first hole after hitting his driver a long way right.---1 p.m.Americans are impressing once again at a British Open at Royal Troon.The last six Open champions at Troon have come from the United States, and Patrick Reed and Justin Thomas are extending the countrys dominance after shooting the best two early rounds Thursday.Reed eagled the par-4 third, had three birdies in the following four holes, and picked up another shot at the last for a 5-under 66 and the early clubhouse lead.Thomas birdied his first four holes and recovered from a double-bogey 6 at No. 15 by also making a birdie at No. 18 for a 67.Another American, Bubba Watson, was alongside Reed and Thomas atop the leaderboard until he triple-bogeyed No. 8 -- the testing par-3 nicknamed the Postage Stamp -- and then made bogey at Nos. 10 and 11. He is level par through 13 holes.Rory McIlroy is 4 under through 12 holes on his first round at the British Open since lifting the claret jug in 2014. He missed last years tournament because of injury.---12:30 p.m.Louis Oosthuizen has made the first hole-in-one at the British Open.The 2010 champion from South Africa aced the par-3 No. 14 from 167 yards, his ball pitching in front of the hole and curling into the cup. He threw his arms up in celebration for what was his second hole-in-one at a major this year, after acing the 16th in the final round of the Masters.---11:45 a.m.With his ball buried and up against the face of a pot bunker, Colin Montgomerie feared the worst after just two shots of his first round at the British Open.Montgomerie was given the honor of hitting the first tee shot at Royal Troon, his home club, in what likely will be his last Open. It was a proud moment for the 53-year-old Scotsman but things quickly turned sour.His second shot landed in him in such trouble that it took two shots to get out of the bunker. An up-and-down later, Monty was walking off with a double-bogey 6 from one of the easiest holes at Troon.No wonder Montgomerie was happy to finish with an even-par 71. He says Im very proud of myself for hanging on in there. It would have been easy to score 78 there, simple.Montgomerie was 3 under for the front nine and 3 over for the back nine.---10:45 a.m.Colin Montgomerie has started what could be his final British Open with an even-par 71 at Royal Troon.The 53-year-old Scotsman was given the honor of hitting the opening tee shot at his home club Thursday, and he was greeted with a packed grandstand on a sunny morning.Montgomerie took a double-bogey at the first hole, but birdied five of the next eight to make the turn with a 3-under 33. He couldnt keep it going, settling for three bogeys on the tougher inward nine to fall off the leaderboard.Bubba Watson, Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed are tied for the lead at 4 under.---10:15 a.m.Its a morning for going low at Royal Troon. Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed are leading the way.The Americans took advantage of the sunny weather Thursday to shoot 5-under 31 on the front nine at the British Open.That puts them a couple of strokes ahead of Kevin Chappell and Jimmy Walker.Given the conditions, its not surprising there are so many red numbers on the board. But the scores figure to rise during the day as the wind picks up. Also, the front nine at Troon is much easier that than the return leg, so its imperative to put up a low score early in the round.Colin Montgomerie found that out. Given the honor of hitting the first stroke of the tournament at his home club, he made the turn with a 3-under 33 even after opening with a double-bogey. Alas, Monty couldnt keep it going. Hes back to even par with two holes to play after three bogeys.---8:30 a.m.Colin Montgomerie has recovered brilliantly from his double bogey to start the British Open.The 53-year-old Scot, playing in perhaps his last Open, caught a buried lie in pot bunker and began with a double bogey. But the scowl soon turned into a smile when Montgomerie ran off five birdies in seven holes to make the turn at 3-under par.Justin Thomas made his British Open debut with birdies on his opening three holes and also was at 3 under.Luke Donald, playing alongside Montgomerie in the first group, was at 2 under.Most encouraging of all: The lead threesome took just under two hours to complete the front nine.---7:25 a.m.The Irish Sea was blue from abundant sunshine. The British Open leaderboard already was filled with red scores.With virtually no wind to start the 145th Open, the gentle outward nine at Royal Troon was living up to its reputation as the time to get birdies. There already were eight birdies in the first 21 holes completed, with Sanghee Lee of South Korea making birdie on the opening two holes.Colin Montgomerie started with a buried lie in a pot bunker on No. 1 and made double bogey. He might want to heed his own advice. Speaking of how easy the front nine is at Royal Troon, the Scot once famously said if a player is not under par at the turn, he might as well keep walking to Prestwick and have lunch in the clubhouse.Prestwick, site of the first 12 British Opens, is adjacent to Royal Troon.---6:45 a.m.The British Open began Thursday with Colin Montgomerie hitting the opening tee shot on the Royal Troon links where his father once was club secretary.Montgomerie, widely considered the best player to have never won a major, qualified at age 53 for what likely will be his last Open. The R&A chose him to be the first player to hit a shot on a gorgeous morning along the Irish Sea.There wasnt an empty seat in the grandstand next to the first tee, where the silver claret jug was on a podium. Five dogs were on the beach.There was no wind, allowing the early starters to take aim at one of the shorter courses on the Open rotation. Montgomerie teed off with Marc Leishman and Luke Donald. Air Max Tavas Black . LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. Cheap Air Max . For the Wild it was their first win of the season and they now have a record of 1-1-2 while the Jets fall to 2-2. Jets start a six game home stand Friday with another divisional game, home to the Dallas Stars. http://www.bestairmaxtavas.com/ . Hey!" The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. The Colorado Avalanche were rather quiet on the player front this offseason, but made major headlines with a late coaching change.Patrick Roys unexpected resignation in August forced the Avs into the kind of coaching search no team should ever desire -- the one that comes after most of the top names had been hired.But GM Joe Sakic took a gamble he believes will pay off in elevating unheralded Jared Bednar from the minors, where he led his teams to championships both in the AHL and ECHL.The most constant and stinging criticism of Roys coaching style was that the Avs bucked the trend of puck-possession systems that have garnered much success around the league, instead playing a counterattack game that was exciting at times, but also in the long run led to too much time without the puck. Bednar promises to address that this season and change the way the Avs play with the puck.Colorado was in the playoff race last season until fading late, losing eight of its last 10 games, missing the postseason for the second straight year after the surprising Central Division title win in 2013-14, Roys first season behind the bench.The Avs return with largely the same core of players. Theyve got high-end offensive talent led by Matt Duchene and Nathan MacKinnon, but have struggled mightily defensively. Theyve got to be better there.Best new facesThe Avs acquired defensemen Fedor Tyutin and Patrick Wiercioch to help bolster the blue line, also adding forwards Joe Colborne, Rocco Grimaldi and Ben Smith. Gabriel Bourque and Rene Bourque were signed to tryout contracts.The 6-foot-5, 202-pound Wiercioch gets a second lease on life in Colorado after wearing out the patience of the Ottawa Senators. He had promising moments during his first few years but frustrated the Sens with his lack of consistency. Does a fresh start in Colorado help the 26-year-old meet his potential?Colborne, also 26, put up career highs of 19 goals and 44 points last season. The 6-foot-5 center, however, was let go by the Calgary Flames, who had to preserve salary-cap space. Perhaps a sneaky signing here by the Avs.All in all, though, nothing earth-shattering as far as player additions.As far as a newcomer to the NHL lineup, however, exciting things are ahead from forward Mikko Rantanen, the 10th overall pick in the 2015 draft. He has the potential to get into the Calder Trophy conversation.The most important new face, though, is behind the bench in Bednar, who makes his NHL debut after cutting his teeth for years in the minors.Biggest uunknownsHow will Bednar fare? He wants to play a puck-pressure game and obviously tighten up defensively, all the things you want to hear if youre an Avs fan. Air Max Tavas. But how will the players respond to a largely unknown coach?Is Nikita Zadorov ready to make a step this season? That would be a boon to the blue-line if the 6-foot-5 Russian turned in an impact season. Hes got the talent to be a two-way guy, but needs to show more consistency.Which Semyon Varlamov shows up this season? The Russian goalie has regressed two straight years since putting up a career-best .927 save percentage in 2013-14 in helping lead the Avs to that Central title. He brilliantly masked a lot of Colorados defensive issues that season. But since then, that save percentage has dipped to .921 in 2014-15 and then just .914 last season (to go along with a 2.81 goals-against average). Now, Varlamov could certainly use better defensive play in front of him, no question. But its the chicken and the egg here. If hes better this season, everything else flows from there.His backup, Calvin Pickard, has potential to be a No. 1. So the Avs look pretty darn solid in goal if Varlamov bounces back.Sure thingsDuchene, MacKinnon and defenseman Tyson Barrie are the offensive dynamos, while captain Gabriel Landeskogs consistent two-way game forms the core of Colorados go-to arsenal. Landeskog and Swedish countryman Carl Soderberg formed a steady pairing up front last season.MacKinnon was outstanding in the World Cup of Hockey for Team North America, while Duchene shined in a Team Canada win over Team USA. Look for both offensive stars to carry that over into strong starts. It should be noted that Duchene played through a separated shoulder, which he suffered before the tournament officially started but he didnt miss a game and the worse of it is behind him, he said.PredictionI think the Avs will do a better job of protecting the puck with Bednar, but some of the same concerns remain on defense. How Varlamov bounces back will have a huge bearing on things. Theyre in a crazy division, where a team such as the Winnipeg Jets is going to be better while contenders the Dallas Stars, Chicago Blackhawks, St. Louis Blues and improved Nashville Predators arent going away. I just cant see Colorado being any better than those teams. They will be competitive but miss out by a few points. Seventh in the Central.
