As Norway continues to follow the ongoing case involving Marius Borg Høiby, with a verdict expected on June 15, concern over Princess Mette-Marit's health has also intensified. The crown princess, who is reportedly on a waiting list for a lung transplant, was notably absent from a milestone event that holds special meaning for both her and her husband, Crown Prince Haakon.
On June 11, Haakon attended the 25th anniversary celebration of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's Fund, a charitable initiative established on the day of their wedding and one that has since become a cornerstone of the couple's public work.
This year's event carried particular emotional significance. For the first time, Princess Mette-Marit was unable to attend the annual celebration of the fund that was created as a direct result of her marriage to Haakon. Her fragile health prevented her from taking part in an occasion they have always hosted together, adding a poignant note to an event that represents a major part of their shared legacy.
Her last public appearance was on Norway's National Day, May 17, when she appeared visibly weakened and was seen relying on supplemental oxygen.
Crown Prince Haakon married Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby on August 25, 2001, at Oslo Cathedral in a ceremony attended by royals from across Europe, including Spain's Queen Sofía and the then-Prince Felipe.

MOSCOW, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Bone fragments from the sword hand of a medieval Russian prince who won a famous victory over the Mongols have been sent to the front in Ukraine to raise army morale in the Russian Orthodox Church's latest show of support for President ‌Vladimir Putin's war.
The sarcophagus of Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy, who died in 1389 and is revered by Russian nationalists for defeating the Mongol Golden Horde at ‌the 1380 Battle of Kulikovo, was uncovered this summer during restoration work at Moscow's Cathedral of the Archangel inside the Kremlin.
Putin personally inspected what experts said were the prince's well-preserved remains in August, hailing them as "an absolutely unique and marvellous discovery" which reinforced the foundations of Russian history.
The Russian Orthodox Church, which has backed Putin throughout the conflict, said it had dispatched a fragment of Donskoy's right hand to Donetsk, one of four Ukrainian regions Putin said he had incorporated into Russia in 2022, a move Kyiv rejected as an illegal land grab.

"Sloppy," Chandler (AZ) five-star quarterback Will Mencl said.
"We gotta grow," said head coach Ty Wisdom.
Meanwhile, the scoreboard showed a 42-13 victory for the Wolves.
Chandler opened the floodgates with a 78-yard kickoff return touchdown by Maxwell Sprott at the end of the first half and then outscored Cathedral Catholic (San Diego, CA) 21-3 in the second half to pick up its first win of the season in a battle of ALL-USA players: West Region quarterback Mencl and wide receiver Jai Jones of Chandler against two-way five-star Dons RB/WR/DB Honor Fa'alave-Johnson.
Yet despite the Wolves' dominance in the second half, the team was unsatisfied by the penalties and three turnovers. At the end of the postgame handshake, Wolves players started talking trash to Cathedral Catholic, infuriating Wisdom.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Thousands of young Orthodox Christians gathered in Romania's capital for a candlelit procession that illuminated a trail from the giant National Cathedral to Patriarchate Hill, a historic site considered sacred to Romanian Orthodoxy.
The Procession of Lights was part of a four-day program for the eighth edition of the International Meeting of Orthodox Youth in Bucharest. The annual gathering brings together 2,400 people aged 16 to 35, many from Romania and its diaspora and other Orthodox churches.
Pilgrims from dozens of countries carried candles and flags through Bucharest's streets as they made their way to Patriarchate Hill, home to the headquarters of the Romanian Patriarchate, and the Patriarchal Residence and Cathedral.
Romania is one of the most pious countries in the European Union, with around 85% of the population identifying as religious. The Romanian Orthodox Church is a powerful institution that plays a central role in many people's lives.
In his opening speech Tuesday, Patriarch Daniel said the gathering provides "a concrete opportunity to intensify the mission of young people in the life of the Church today" in what he described as a "rapidly secularizing society."

We are now less than two weeks away from Ohio Stadium being full of scarlet and gray and cheering on Ohio State football this fall. The Buckeyes open up the 2026 season by hosting Ball State on Saturday, Sept. 5, and some changes inside the 'Shoe are significant.
For one, the installation of the new field turf is complete, and it does look good. OSU decided to replace the turf inside Ohio Stadium to bring it up to NFL standards, and it's like getting a fresh coat of paint on the venerable stadium on the banks of the Olentangy.
That's not all that will be evident when walking into the football cathedral, however. On Wednesday, Ohio State unveiled nine field-level suites that are primed to be open and ready for business by next Saturday. On top of those suites are some premium seating as well, adding a little bougie feel to the 'Shoe. We knew about these suites coming to the south stands already, but thanks to the wonderment of social media, we got our first look at them.
First, a look at the location and the outside of the on-field suites.
Here are Ohio State’s brand-new on-field suites for this upcoming season.

The total cost is $142,700 per suite, and each can hold 12 people, with eight standing-room spots. pic.twitter.com/mgFDgyaCkN

Tom O'Brien was a college basketball ***** istant at Bradley in 1967 when the opportunity arose to come back to coach at Cathedral, his alma mater.
O'Brien would leave a couple different times as coach, but never really did give up his connection to the school where he graduated from in 1949. O'Brien died on Aug. 17 at age 95.
"Tom had such a history with Cathedral, graduating from there and all the changes the school went through in good times and bad times, Tom was always part of it," said Steve Hodgson, who coached with O'Brien and then later succeeded him. "It goes even beyond that. There are so many families in the Catholic and Eastside community and people that I've heard from in the last week through Tom's passing that he touched."
O'Brien not only coached football, basketball and baseball at Cathedral, he later returned as a substitute and earned the nickname "Super Sub."
"Tom left a profound impact on Cathedral, both as a student and when he returned as an educator and coach," Cathedral shared on its social media accounts. "'Coach OB' coached football, basketball and baseball at Cathedral, leaving a lasting legacy on thousands of Cathedral students. During the final years of his tenure at Cathedral, he was affectionately known as 'Super Sub,' and students were always thrilled to see him walk through the classroom door."

Norway's Crown Prince Haakon and his wife Mette-Marit marked their silver wedding anniversary by posing for a new photograph, published on Tuesday, in the grounds of their home at Skaugum estate.
"25 years filled with love, family and a life together," the royal household wrote beneath the photograph, which it shared on Instagram to mark the anniversary. The picture shows the crown prince and princess smiling and dressed in summery outfits.
The couple also posted photos on Instagram of a trip they took after their wedding, showing them on the beach at Long Island.
The couple married 25 years ago, on August 25, 2001, at Oslo Cathedral. The past few months have not been easy for them. The crown princess, who has a serious lung condition, received a transplant earlier this year. Haakon and Mette-Marit are celebrating their silver wedding anniversary in private as she recuperates.
On Tuesday morning, the couple arrived at the Oslo hospital where King Harald V is currently being treated, apparently to visit the 89-year-old monarch, who is Haakon's father.

Sean McDonough has called college football in some capacity since George H.W. Bush was in office. And after spending nearly four decades inside every major cathedral the country has to offer, he's come to the conclusion that Ole Miss is home to the worst broadcast booth in the sport.
"The booth is tiny," McDonough said in a recent appearance on The Brandon Walker College Football Show, explaining that Vaught-Hemingway Stadium's press box used to have more room before the athletic department reclaimed seats from it. "To the point where our stats guy has to be behind us, because it's not wide enough for myself, the spotter, Greg McElroy, Zach, our spotter, and me. There can't be a fourth person, because it's not wide enough."
Cramped quarters aren't even the worst of it. McDonough said the booth's angle relative to the field turns Ole Miss's frequent noon ET kickoffs into their own kind of miserable.
"You're a little to the left of the 50-yard line, but we have a lot of those noon Eastern starts there, which are 11 Central, and the sun is hitting you right in the face," he said. "I don't like to wear sunglasses on TV, because you look like you're doing a Hollywood shot, but you almost have to there when the game starts, because you're just getting blasted in the face. It's just a really uncomfortable place to do a game."
McDonough is entering his fourth straight season alongside McElroy on ESPN's No. 2 college football broadcast team,
with Katie George stepping in as their new sideline reporter in place of Molly McGrath, who moved to an NFL-focused role. That booth was voted No. 1 in Awful Announcing's 2025 college football announcer rankings, drawing the highest raw number of A grades of any crew in the poll, and McDonough was individually named the National Sportscaster of the Year.

Family, friends, fellow performers and fans of veteran comic Jimmy Cricket have gathered for his funeral.
The Northern Ireland-born comedian, real name James Joseph Mulgrew, died on 3 August aged 80.
Many mourners at Salford Cathedral responded to his family's request to wear bow ties in a nod to one of his props, while his trademark stage wellies and bowler hat were placed at the cathedral entrance next to a book of condolence.
The requiem Mass was led by his son Fr Frankiel Mulgrew, who is based at the cathedral.

ST. CLOUD, MN — The soccer season is right around the corner, and there are a handful of girls' soccer squads with high hopes going into the season. Others might just wish to see the ball go into the net in each game.
Starting with the best the St. Cloud metro has to offer:
2025 record: 18-3-1, Class 1A co-third place finish
Top returners: F Amelia Newiger, F Nora Simones, F/GK Jordan Bovy
While not quite as dominant in recent years as their boys team counterparts, the girls over at Cathedral have certainly impressed in their own regard with three consecutive seasons without a conference loss, and most recently a co-third place finish at the state tournament.

ARDMORE, Pa. — Andy Whaley couldn't believe his eyes. Standing at the back of Merion East's soaked 15th green, he smiled and laughed as his son, 22-year-old Jack Whaley, raised the Havemeyer Trophy after conquering the best amateur field in the world.
"Did I ever think he could win the U.S. Amateur? No. Did I ever think he'd win it this year? Absolutely not," Andy Whaley told GOLF with a laugh as his son did the post-win media car wash.
Andy and his wife, Kerry, were scheduled to fly home on Saturday night. "That tells you how confident we were," Andy Whaley said with a chuckle. Instead, Andy Whaley, carrying his son's bag for the first time in five or six years, changed his flight and set out to walk Merion for a final day with his son.
This week's U.S. Amateur at Merion was golf watching in its purest form. The famed golf course opened its doors to the world's best amateurs and local crowds flocked by the thousands to walk its fairways, raid the pro shop and watch the best amateur golf has to offer. It was a week for the true, die-in-the-wool golf fans who appreciate and understand what the game has always been about.
It was fitting that, during a week about Merion, the Hugh Wilson design outside Philadelphia remained the main star throughout the week. The world's best amateurs — Preston Stout, Miles Russell, Tyler Watts and others — all either failed to make it out of stroke play or made an early match play exit. This week was about getting to see Merion, one of the game's great cathedrals, without it being overrun by giant buildouts and throngs of fans. It was just the world's best ams and fans who wanted to soak in good golf at a place steeped in history. It was about the magic and mystique of a place we rarely see.

ARDMORE, Pa. – While the term cathedral is used to describe golf's greatest venues, the East Course at Merion Golf Club is arguably its most revered chapel, set on approximately 120 acres packed with history and some of the best golf holes in the world.
A step into the converted farmhouse that now serves as Merion's intricate clubhouse signifies a step back in time, with the club's famed archive room as the main vehicle.
The small, windowless room, established by George Scudder and now chaired by historian and 19-time Merion club champ John Capers III, is the main repository of Merion's history. It includes over 4,000 books and artifacts, including the standard from Justin Rose's 2013 U.S. Open victory, the unwashed striped, Merion-logoed polo Edoardo Molinari wore in winning the 2005 U.S. Amateur final, aerial images from Bobby Jones' slam-completing triumph at the 1930 U.S. Amateur, even some old horseshoes dug out of this historic dirt.
Jack Whaley will now have to part with his beloved Yorkshire County team rain jacket.
After a run of warm and sunny days in northwest Philadelphia, English skies set over Merion for the 126th U.S. Amateur Championship final. Perfect for Whaley, a 22-year-old from Doncaster, England, who embraced the relentless rain and washed away a 2-up deficit after 19 holes to defeat Stanford's Jay Leng Jr., 4 and 3.

Lactalis has entered a "definitive" agreement to acquire the UK business of Canadian peer Saputo in the French dairy giant's fourth deal in two months.
While the privately-owned company did not reveal the purchase price in a statement today (14 August), Saputo tagged the transaction at around £988m ($1.33bn).
The deal is expected to close by the end of the first quarter next year, subject to regulatory approval, Toronto-listed Saputo added.
Lactalis said in its own announcement that Saputo UK, which generated revenue in its latest financial year of £800m, comes with five production facilities, along with a host of cheese brands such as Cathedral City and Davidstow.
The sites are located in Hawes (Yorkshire), Davidstow (Cornwall), Nuneaton (Warwickshire), Kirkby (Merseyside) and the Isle of Bute (Scotland), employing around 1,300 people, Lactalis said.

Yesterday, Monday, Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Thijs Dallinga of FC Bologna could be the next striker in line to move to the Bundesliga.
New developments in the negotiations for the 26-year-old have been revealed, linking him with a move to SV Werder Bremen.
However, according to an Italian transfer insider, 1.FC Köln currently has the best chance of securing the player's signature.
The Cathedral City club is reportedly trying to outmuscle their league rivals who are also keen to finalize the deal as quickly as possible.
Dallinga moved from FC Toulouse to Bologna in 2024 for almost €16million, but failed to establish himself in Serie A.

During the top of the third inning of Monday night's Royals vs. Dodgers game, the SportsNet LA broadcast flashed a leaderboard of the lowest starter ERA since the start of the 2023 season. Of the five names listed, four are currently employed by the back-to-back champs: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, Blake Snell and the star of this particular evening, Tarik Skubal. Some understandably pessimistic fans in western Pennsylvania surely harbor fear that the fifth figure, Paul Skenes, will end up in Dodger blue one day as well.
But if that list was a reminder — as if anybody needed another — of the preposterous talent gilding L.A.'s star-studded roster, Skubal's ordinary performance on Monday in his first home start as a Dodger emphasized that nothing in this wonky sport is preordained.
Pitching in front of a revved up, eager audience, Skubal was downright mediocre in L.A.'s 6-5 victory over the Royals.
His fastball command was, by his cathedral standards, scattershot. He struggled to locate the four-seamer consistently at and just above the top rail, right where the world-beating southpaw makes his bread. Skubal had similar issues with his sinker, a handful of which ended up catching far too much plate, including one that resulted in a first-inning RBI single from Royals first baseman Jac Caglianone.
But the hammer blow of Skubal's night came in the third, when he gifted Caglianone a hanging, piped 0-2 slider. The scalding-hot lefty didn't miss the miss, sizzling the breaker 110.8 mph into the right-field seats to give Kansas City an early 3-0 lead.

After 14 years of marriage to Alec Baldwin, Hilaria Baldwin has learned a thing or two about what it takes to make a relationship last — and she's sharing the rule she passes along to her friends.
The couple met in February 2011 and tied the knot the following year at the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral in New York City. Hilaria, 42, has boiled down what she's learned from her marriage to Alec, 68, to one simple rule. "You both have to want to be there," she said, according to an article Fox News Digital published on Sunday, August 9.
"Whenever my friends are coming to me, and they're like it's a new relationship, or they're having a ***** p in it, I say, if both people don't really want to be there through your difficult moments, through your best moments, then it's just not going to probably work out," the Nation's Dumbest contestant explained.

For Hilaria and Alec, that mutual effort has been the glue. "Both Alec and I, through our ups and our downs and our sideways, we've wanted to be there," she said, the outlet reported. "And I think that that's what's kept us strong."

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine paid tribute on Saturday to Oleksiy Yukov, a volunteer who spent more than two decades recovering bodies of civilians and soldiers — many of them Russian — killed by war. He was 40.
An Orthodox Christian service was held at the Cathedral of Saint Volodymyr, in central Kyiv, where thousands of people gathered to pay their respects following his death in a landmine explosion during a recovery mission on Wednesday.
Mourners also gathered at Kyiv's main Maidan Square, many dropping to their knees as a sign of respect as his casket was brought to the site. Memorial services were also held in other cities.
Yukov founded the organization known as Platsdarm, or Bridgehead, because he believed that all the dead deserve a proper burial. He became known as a "collector of souls."
From the war-torn Donbas region, Yukov was a martial arts instructor. He began recovering the dead as a teenager after encountering the remains of Soviet and Russian soldiers from World War II.

Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg reports that 1. FC Köln have reached a full agreement with Tottenham Hotspur attacking talent Mikey Moore over a loan move to the Bundesliga. The 18-year-old remains set to join Köln on a season-long loan without an option to buy. Tottenham continue to regard Moore as an important part of their long-term plans and have no intention of permanently relinquishing control of the England youth international.
The latest development comes after some uncertainty surrounding the transfer. Tottenham temporarily placed Moore's proposed move to Köln on hold and kept the youngster available for their pre-season friendly against Getafe. A move to the cathedral city nevertheless remains firmly on course. All that remains is for Spurs head coach Roberto de Zerbi to give the green light.
Get German Football News first covered Köln's advanced pursuit of Moore last week, with both Fabrizio Romano and Sky Germany reporting that the player favored a Bundesliga switch in the midst of advanced negotiations with the Domstädter.
His prospective arrival also remains interesting in the context of Said El Mala's future. Borussia Dortmund continue pushing to sign Köln's 19-year-old attacking star, though die Geißböcke have thus far resisted BVB's substantial offers. Moore's arrival would provide Köln with another highly-rated attacking option regardless of how the El Mala saga concludes.
Tottenham's reluctance to include any purchase option nevertheless makes the purpose of the move clear. Köln would receive another talented young attacker for the coming Bundesliga campaign, while Spurs hope regular top-flight football in Germany will further accelerate Moore's development.

It was nothing more than a post-Open Championship vacation with his mother, but there could be no better place than Paris to remind Ryan Gerard how much life has changed in seven months.
Think back to the penultimate week in December when Gerard, a month into his offseason and at No. 57 in the world ranking, flew halfway around the globe to the tiny island of Mauritius for a shot at finishing the year in the top 50 in the world.
He lost in a playoff and moved to No. 46 to secure his trip to the Masters. His flight home included a long layover in Paris, enough time for him to see the Notre Dame cathedral, the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. "Pretty sick," he said that day.
Gerard opened the year with consecutive runner-up finishes. He earned his way into the U.S. Open and British Open, lost in a playoff at the Memorial and goes into the Wyndham Championship at No. 16 in the FedEx Cup as he looks toward making the Tour Championship.
His mother came over to Royal Birkdale, where Gerard tied for ninth, and they were off to Paris for three days. That's when Gerard, who doesn't take much serious outside of his golf, went on a most unusual search to find "the worst statue that I could possibly find."

Tributes continue to be paid to the comedian Jimmy Cricket who died on Monday at the age of 80 following a short illness.
Known for his trademark wellington boots, battered bowler hat and memorable catchphrases, he has been hailed as "inspirational" by some of those who knew him best.
Cricket's son, Father Frankie Mulgrew, said the late comedian "saw the joy in everything, right up until his death".
"On Sunday he wanted the last rites twice, because like a good comedian he wanted an encore".
Fr Mulgrew, who is a Catholic priest at Salford Cathedral, said his father's faith was "really important to him and in the end he was really looking forward to going home, to going in to eternity".

Donald Trump's wife, Melania Trump, has skipped yet another important event. The First Lady was noticeably absent from Lindsey Graham's funeral, sparking strong reactions from netizens. Previously, Melania was not present at the recent White House Correspondents' ****** ociation Dinner as well.
Late U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham's funeral service was held on July 28 at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. It was attended by President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Eric Trump, Lara Trump, and more. However, First Lady Melania Trump was absent from the service.
The no-show has since sparked backlash among netizens, raising questions about why she wasn't present. One social media user reportedly commented, "Why wasn't Melania there? What a disgrace," while another wrote, "Melania, you should be at the funeral. What's wrong not at dinner and now" (via The Mirror US).
Graham, the former Republican representative for South Carolina, passed away on July 11 following a "brief and sudden illness." According to preliminary findings, Graham died suddenly from a likely aortic tear at his Washington residence. An official statement from his office shortly after his death read, "Senator Graham's family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period."
Trump delivered an eulogy at Graham's funeral service, honoring the late politician. The president called Graham a "true American original, who left us much too soon." Trump added, "No matter how heated things got in Washington, virtually everyone — Republican or Democrat — liked Lindsey."
