WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW It looked for a while that James Troisi was going to cross the derby divide and join Melbourne City - that was until an 11th hour intervention from Victory coach Kevin Muscat secured his signature for a third A-League season. The 29-year-old has shone in two previous seasons for the Victory, but has yet to taste success, coming closest in the penalty shootout loss to Sydney in last year’s Grand Final....

The page was created by Cianan Liburd on behalf of David Gomez, the victim of the June 5 assault at Hanlan’s Point in Toronto. The page described Gomez as “a precious and loved member of our Queer community.” At the time of publication, more than $39,000 had been raised for Gomez on the site. “The attack left David unconscious for some time, and he awoke to find out his nose had been broken, cheekbone and orbital bone shattered, a splint in his hip bone and a concussion,” the GoFundMe page said....

Instead these wanna-be Lolitas are on their way to something called “School Disco,” a club night where patrons dress up in their button-downs and dance to the ’80s music of their youth. “It’s escapism without doing anything illegal,” says DJ and School Disco founder Bobby Sanchez. That nostalgia for school days has taken London by storm. Every weekend upwards of 7,000 partygoers pay $18 apiece to get into clubs that require them to dress in uniform....

Clearly, Kass is getting the hang of this Olympics thing. Be polite. Keep comments mainstream. And, please, no on-camera stoner jokes. The learning curve, though, is much steeper in the other direction. The Winter Olympics are the fussy old fuddy-duddy of the sports world–its governing body, the International Olympic Committee, didn’t help that image when it announced this month a crackdown on “crotch shots” in figure skating–and the gradual addition of extreme sports in the 1990s was seen as a grudging effort to make the Olympics palatable to 13-year-olds....

He can blame a skinny, shaggy-haired kid everyone calls Guga. Early last week, in the French Open’s final, 23-year-old Gustavo Kuerten outtoughed the Swedish powerhouse Magnus Norman for five punishing sets and nearly four hours to win his second French Open. In the process Kuerten clinched the top ranking in the Association of Tennis Professionals and intensified the fever that was already sweeping sports-mad Brazil: Gugamania. Thousands of fans were waiting when Kuerten landed at the airport in Florianopolis, his hometown in southern Brazil....

Karina, 27, from Texas, told Newsweek about bringing her 2-year-old dog Arlo to see his relatives in December. The pup can be seen inquisitively sniffing his mom and his full-blood sibling Libby. Their owner was unable to determine if Arlo’s mom recognized him or not, but she says the meeting made it easier for Arlo to “accept” Libby. She recorded the reunion and shared it on her TikTok page @arlosgoldenadventures, and it has since been viewed more than 627,000 times....

Huskies, on the other hand, are energetic and athletic, known for surviving harsh winters and being able to travel long distances. But what about a hybrid of these best-loved breeds? Well, one TikToker has taken to the app to share footage of her puppy who is a mix of the two—and it is adorable. The video has gone viral on the app since it was posted on July 3 by a woman called Cori Baker, having surpassed a whopping 18....

“Every night she would fall asleep with the prayer that, while she slept, her body would stretch itself, grow to the size of that of other girls her age in Burgdorf,” writes Hegi in Stones from the River (507 pages. Poseidon. $23). “To help God along, Trudi would hang from door frames by her fingers until they were numb, convinced she could feel her bones lengthening.” From her vantage point deep inside Trudi’s consciousness, Hegi describes a little girl growing up with a terrible, painful difference; she describes the to-and-fro of a small German town where neighbors flock to every house of mourning with soups and cakes; and she describes the local disintegration of civility and soul as Hitler ascends....

The second-year coach and first-year general manager had to be thinking, Can’t you lay low and just play ball for awhile, AB? That would have been my hope after parting with a couple draft picks and paying Brown an additional $11.2 million to accept the trade. Meanwhile, the Steelers have to be reminding themselves that a leopard can’t change its spots, and Pittsburgh is better off without the receiver....

The Seahawks will never get over such a heartbreaking loss, a 28-24 thriller against the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX. But they can at least find peace of mind in the fact that the players who let a second title slip through their fingers; who were just one yard away from the Lombardi Trophy, will return in 2015 and have a great chance to reach Super Bowl 50.

That’s not to say that Harvick and company were thrilled with the setback. MORE: 16 for ‘16: Chase drivers | Dover daunting for Chasers On Lap 33 on Sunday, Harvick’s Chevrolet was smoking on the track at Dover International Speedway. He headed to the garage shortly thereafter. Still, after a dismal opening race at Chicagoland, Harvick was in the lower quadrant of the Chase entering last weekend’s race.

Just as on his radio show and other online platforms, Jones published false information via the InfoWars app, which had more than a 100,000 downloads at the time of its removal from the app store. In addition to broadcasting The Alex Jones Show live, products were also sold through the app, including supplements and protein powders.
