What was particularly striking though was the fact that Andreescu won in straight sets, which has become a sort of once-in-a-blue-moon event for her.

In fact, the last time Andreescu won by such a margin was back in May - when she beat Maryna Zanevska at the Internationaux de Strasbourg....

Biden on Tuesday further outlined his economic agenda, which he vowed would look to address racial inequalities across the United States.

“When Joe Biden says we are in a battle for the soul of our nation against vile forces of hate who have come crawling out from under rocks, you are the epitome of what he means.

Of the current election cycle’s designated battlegrounds, Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin have become subject to elevated public scrutiny and campaign focus from both sides.

In fact, Trump has accused the Biden team of plagiarism this month because of the focus on domestic production and revitalizing American manufacturing. If Biden wins, he’ll likely pick up where Trump left off. But the similarities stop there. “The difference you are going to see is in the manner in which Biden goes about confronting and trying to contain China, not the degree to which they are pursuing this ongoing decoupling from the Chinese economy,” said Jon Lieber, the managing director for the U....

On July 8, Biden said “The Taliban is not the North Vietnamese army…. There’s going to be no circumstance in which you are going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States in Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable.” With pictures of Chinook helicopters ferrying personnel from the U.S. Embassy compound in Kabul to Hamid Karzai airport on Sunday, the president must now regret uttering those words....

Now, we have an update from Bethesda as to where they stand with Dawnguard, as well as how they are approaching new content, and it’s not going to make PS3 gamers happy. Essentially, rather than a confirmation that the PS3 version of Dawnguard is almost finished, Bethesda is now implying it, and future DLC, might never see the console at all. There’s talk of the difficulties the developer had with the console to begin with — we all know how bad the game’s launch was on PS3 — and that compounds the problem when looking at DLC....
It was only a few days ago that Blizzard Albany, previously known as Vicarious Visions, finalized a lengthy democratic process and decided to form a union.
