KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Defending champion and world No. 4-ranked Miyu Yamashita shot a 6-under 66 Friday to take a two-stroke lead after two rounds of the LPGA Tour's Maybank Classic.
The 2025 Women's British Open winner had a two-round total of 13-under 131 on the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club course. She won last year's Malaysian tournament after a three-way playoff.
Julia Lopez Ramirez birdied three of her final four holes for a 66 and was tied for second with Pauline Roussin-Bouchard, who led by a stroke after the first round.
"Try to keep your mind cool and your body hydrated in these conditions," Lopez Ramirez said of her preparations for the weekend in the usual high humidity in Kuala Lumpur.
A Lim Kim had the round of the day, a 64, and was in fourth place, three strokes behind Yamashita.

Sauimoana Purcell hammered 21 kills while Kealoha Lyons tallied eight kills and four blocks as No. 3-ranked Kamehameha swept No. 6 Mid-Pacific 25-19, 25-9, 25-22 on Wednesday night in the ILH regular-season volleyball opener for both teams.
Humidity was extreme in Honolulu at 82%, and felt closer to 90 in Kekuhaupio Gymnasium at Kamehameha. It didn't seem to affect the Warriors (15-5 overall), who had pinpoint setting by Alayah Wilson (24 **** ists) and Tiahna Aldeguer (17).
Ali Samia added six kills and one ace, while Faith Iokia chipped in five kills. Junior libero Mikela Arellano led a stellar back-row defensive effort while Kamehameha's defensive teamwork on the pin was consistent.
"Our right fronts coming in there, Faith, Ayva-Ray (Malepeai), Maddie (Madison-Rose Marsh), they're important for our defense," Kamehameha coach Chris Blake said. "Kealoha is doing a lot of great things for us in the front row and had a great service turn right there to help us at the end."
Their length and footwork allowed Kamehameha to neutralize the smaller Owls.

Number-one ranked Ohio State is traveling to Austin to take on the fourth-ranked Longhorns this weekend in what has become the most-anticipated college football game of the season so far.
According to ticketdata.com, the cheapest tickets available for the game are $463 - nearly three times higher than any other college football game this week. However, not only are the tickets hot, but the weather will be too. Game day temperatures in Austin will rise to dangerous levels, with heat index values rising to nearly 110 degrees.
Saturday's temperatures will be similar to last week's game against Texas State, during which Austin-Travis County EMS transported 13 fans from DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium to surrounding local hospitals due to heat-related illnesses.
Temperatures in Austin are expected to be in the mid-90s at noon Saturday before rising to 100-102 degrees by 3 to 4 p.m. Due to elevated humidity levels, the heat index, or "feel-like" temperature, is likely to reach as high as 108 degrees. There will be a slight breeze, as southeast winds are expected at around 10 mph.
Shown are the expected heat index values across Texas at 4 p.m. Saturday. Austin will likely be experiencing temps that feel like 108 degrees. (WeatherBell)

The shocks started early at this US Open as 23-time grand slam champion and fourth seed Novak Djokovic suffered his earliest exit at a major in 20 years, losing in the first round.
The Serb broke down in tears as he fell in five sets to Mariano Navone, in a match where he physically struggled with the heat and humidity and threw up several times.
The defeat - his first time losing in the opening round of a slam since the Australian Open in 2006 - brings an abrupt end to his quest for a 25th major **** le.
Third seed and last year's semi-finalist Felix Auger-Aliassime is the biggest name to fall so far, losing in four sets to Russia's Karen Khachanov in the second round, while last year's finalist and 10th seed Amanda Anisimova crashed out in the third round to Anastasia Potapova.
2024 runner-up Taylor Fritz also lost in the third round, falling in five to 24th seed Francisco Cerundolo, as did French Open finalist Flavio Cobolli on a Saturday of shocks.

CHICAGO — The second volleyball match Sunday night at Wrigley Field in the SEC-Big Ten Challenge was suspended because of excessive moisture on the court.
The decision was made to prevent injuries after players slipped several times on the wet surface.
With a sellout crowd of 43,067 energized for the first volleyball event at the iconic home of the Chicago Cubs, third-ranked Kentucky beat No. 11 Penn State in four sets in the opening match — just an appetizer for fans of the top-ranked Huskers, who filled nearly all of the seats at Wrigley.
Ideal conditions — or so it seemed — awaited Nebraska and Missouri. But the first set was stopped for more than 15 minutes after 2 points. Players from both teams dried the TeraFlex floor with towels as the humidity levels of a 72-degree night pushed past 80 percent.
"This was amazing," Nebraska coach Dani Busboom Kelly said. "I applaud the effort. But there's a reason our sport's indoors."

Nebraska and Missouri tried to play a volleyball match at Wrigley Field on Sunday night in what seemed like a fun, unique battle for the two programs as part of the Big Ten-SEC Volleyball Challenge.
It was just way, way too hot and humid in Chicago for the game to work.
The Big Ten suspended the match after a long delay on Sunday night, ending the contest early in front of a sold-out crowd at Wrigley Field. It's unclear when the match will be played between the two schools, if it is at all.
"Due to weather conditions affecting the court surface, Sunday's volleyball match between Nebraska and Missouri has been suspended," the Big Ten said in a statement. "Despite best efforts and in collaboration with all parties, rescheduling at Wrigley Field is not possible. A decision on match continuation at the point of suspension will be announced at a later date."
The court, which was built in the outfield of the Chicago Cubs' iconic stadium, was incredibly slippery throughout the match. Just three points into the opening set, everybody stopped, grabbed a towel and started wiping the floor, players included.

Florida football officially kicks off a new era Saturday with Jon Sumrall's first game as Gators head coach.
The start of a new season – regardless of the coach – brings an excitement that's been held in a box throughout the long summer months.
But on UF campus Saturday, that excitement felt diminished. Call it the humid weather with on and off rain. Call it the late kickoff. Call it the less than marquee opponent in Florida Atlantic. Call it the holiday weekend.
Regardless, Plaza of the Americas – the hotbed of campus – looked eerily quiet three hours before kickoff.
Glenn Denning reflected that vibe. The Gainesville resident remembered when he first began tailgating on Plaza of the Americas when it stood packed with tents.

The Colorado Buffaloes got the ending they needed Thursday night, even if the route to it was about as uncomfortable as any season opener can get.
Julian Lewis found Charlie Williams on a 20-yard touchdown pass with 37 seconds left, then Colorado's field-goal block by defensive back Boo Carter closed the door at the horn for a 14-13 win over Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium. The Buffaloes were out of timeouts and down six points when they started the final possession at their own 25-yard line, which made the finish feel larger than a typical Week 1 play.
Lewis had not found much consistency through the air before that drive. Colorado had dropped passes, missed downfield opportunities and left yards on the field during a first half in which both teams struggled with the humid conditions. The freshman quarterback had a rough sequence late in the second quarter, losing his grip on the football before recovering it and taking a 15-yard sack. Colorado followed with three incompletions before punting to close the half.
Georgia Tech held a 10-7 lead at that point, and the game never settled into a normal rhythm after halftime. Colorado's rushing attack gave the Buffs control of the ball, but Georgia Tech stayed close because Colorado could not finish possessions.
When Georgia Tech's Aidan Birr hit a 29-yard field goal with 1:40 remaining, Colorado had one last chance and Lewis took it.

Kevin Sorbo does not regret leaving California.
After the Hercules: The Legendary Journeys actor, 67, traded Hollywood for the Sunshine State seven years ago, the MAGA supporter told Fox News in an interview Sunday that part of the reason he left California was that he was "canceled" due to his political beliefs as a conservative Christian — but he had other complaints too.
Sorbo told the right-wing outlet that although he misses the weather, his old house and his local golf course, three factors keep him from returning to the Golden State.
"I mean, here in Florida, yeah, we get five months of pretty high humidity," the Andromeda star acknowledged. "It's pretty hot, but the winters here are really quite amazing. But yeah, there are things I miss, but they can keep their taxes, they can keep their traffic, and they can keep their negativity, I'm done."
He went on to say that Florida has given him more "acceptance" since he relocated with his family.

Labor Day weekend indicates many things; the kids go back to school, the NFL starts up, and suddenly it's in the 60s in the morning on the east coast after weeks of heat and humidity.
In the pickleball world, Labor Day weekend also now signifies two major shifts on the Pro calendar: the end of the Major League Pickleball season and the start of the Professional Pickleball ****** ociation season. It took a couple years of schedule manipulation, but once MLP and PPA joined forces under the UPA umbrella, they've endeavored to define "seasons" for each entity, and the PPA starts its 2026-27 season right now with a Grand Slam event in Cary, North Carolina.
(Note: I will be onsite in North Carolina this coming Wednesday; if you're reading this and will also be there then I look forward to meeting and catching up).
Here's some On the Court storylines to watch as we return to the tour this season. I'll cover more of the business side/Off the Court story lines in another post, but will allude to some of those stories below.
Gabe Tardio (L) and Ben Johns (R) enter the new season as dominant No. 1s.

Kevin Sorbo is a proud Floridian.
The Hercules: The Legendary Journeys star opened up to Fox News Digital about his decision to leave California for the Sunshine State seven years ago and why he's still happy with his choice.
"I mean, here in Florida, yeah, we get five months of pretty high humidity," Sorbo, 67, a Minnesota native who considers himself to be a political conservative, said. "It's pretty hot, but the winters here are really quite amazing. But yeah, there are things I miss, but they can keep their taxes, they can keep their traffic, and they can keep their negativity; I'm done."
As for what he misses, the Andromeda alum said California's mild weather, his old house, and the golf course he frequented made the list. But his move East wasn't just to get a break on taxes. In Florida, Sorbo told the outlet, he found "acceptance" and also had the opportunity to pursue a career in Independent films through his Sorbo Studios production company.
"The people I've met here, the contacts I've met, it's been incredible," he said.

We're not in August anymore, but we're still in the midwest in early September for Notre Dame's season opener against the Wisconsin Badgers at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. So… there could be a variety of different weather forecasts for Sunday's game, but thankfully for everyone going to the game — it should be a fairly good day and night for college football.
There are going to be some major storms rolling through Green Bay this week, which is going to leave the area VERY muggy with predictions of very high humidity. Fans looking to have fun during the day won't have to worry about the rain, but it still mught feel wet as you gulp down one or two or three brats and chug some of the finest beer in the land, PBR.
As we get closer to game time, the temperature will begin to drop significantly, but the humidity will still be very high. With the humidity and this being the first game of the year, players on the field and fans in the stands should be careful of cramps throughout the contest.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez has left Monday's game between the San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds after becoming overheated.
Gonzalez went to the ground at the end of the fourth inning of a hot, humid night in which the temperature was near 90 at the start of the game. Gonzalez had to be helped by the Reds trainers with what the team said was heat exhaustion.
Trainers attended to Gonzalez for several minutes and a cart was brought out on the field, but turned around when Gonzalez was able to get up and slowly walk to the dugout.
The Reds said Gonzalez was treated for elevated blood pressure and dehydration. His blood pressure returned to normal levels and he was resting comfortably, according to the team.
First base umpire DJ Reyburn moved behind the plate and a three-person crew called the rest of the game.

Texas Tech football coach Joey McGuire started his response to reporters on Monday, Aug. 31 by noting his respect for Southern California coach Lincoln Riley, before then seemingly calling out the Trojans' fanbase for the small crowd at USC's Week 0 win over San Jose State.
The No. 14 Trojans defeated San Jose State 42-26 on Saturday, Aug. 29 in front of an almost-empty crowd at Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, due to unusual humidity in the area paired with low interest in a Week 0 game against a lower-tier Mountain West opponent.
REQUIRED READING: Where is everybody? USC football opens season to empty LA Coliseum
McGuire said that won't be the case when Texas Tech faces Abilene Christian on Sept. 5 in Lubbock, Texas.
"Not to take any shots, because I have a lot of respect for USC and Lincoln Riley, but it's really awesome to be playing in Lubbock, Texas, knowing we're going to be playing in front of 60,000 (fans)," McGuire said Monday. "It's going to be warm. It's going to be every bit as warm as it was Saturday.

The Kansas City Chiefs snapped their preseason losing streak with Friday night's 9-9 tie with the Seattle Seahawks. Head coach Andy Reid spoke with reporters after the game, addressing the upcoming roster cuts this weekend.
"This is like the hardest time of the year for for coaches and personnel guys and players for that matter, because you got to make these cuts coming up," said Reid, "and these guys have busted their tail through the hot, humid weather at training camp, and sleeping in a dorm for you, and then coming out and playing in these preseason games, and we appreciate it as a coaching staff and organization. We appreciate the effort that these fellows put in. At the same time, we're there to support. I mean, I can say that really to a man."
All 32 NFL teams are required to trim their active offseason training camp rosters from 90 down to the regular-season limit of 53 players by this Sunday, August 30, at 5:00 p.m. CT.
"These guys, I thought this group challenged each other and really made some decisions here. They're going to be tough for Brett (Veach) and his guys to make as we go in the next couple of days here," said Reid. "So, we wish them the best moving forward as they have a chance to make another team. The one positive out of that for all of them is they were able to get reps, and once you're on that tape, you can be evaluated, and it gives you at least a chance to make another squad."
Chiefs general manager Brett Veach and his staff will once again have tough decisions to make over the weekend. Some players will have played their final game in a Chiefs uniform on Friday night.

PRAIRIE VIEW - State championships aren't won in the heat and humidity of late August.
Brian Randle and his players have a more lucid understanding of that reality than most. The Randle High School football program has ended each of its past two seasons with a high-stakes game right before Christmas.
With 16 more weeks remaining before the UIL hands out its gold-plated plaques in Arlington, the Lions are embracing the journey. They're calling this season "The Reckoning," and it's started with a momentous victory.
This campaign was never going to be about one opponent. Randle is simply 1-0 after Friday night's 20-14 triumph against Dallas powerhouse South Oak Cliff. But in a rubber match between the programs that have faced off for the past two Class 5A Division II state **** les, taking care of the Golden Bears was the first order of business.
"I mean, we had to break the tie," said Randle, whose team avenged a 35-19 loss from last December's championship game and is now in Class 5A Division I. "We had to break the tie. It's funny because I love what Dallas does. I love what SOC does. But their fans, they talk a lot. So it feels good to have bragging rights for another 12 months until we meet again."

There's something in the air when August comes around. Is it hot humid weather? Maybe it's the sounds of the insects, or birds, or the angle of the sun? But it's something. The memories come flooding back. Two-a-days, sweating, those god-awful morning conditioning runs. I thought I had gone out for track! 8-220's, 4-440's, 2-880's and a mile run under time or you repeat them. No, I'm not exaggerating. Then lunch with the team, a break, then afternoon practice. Sound like a Division I program? No, it was a small Single A high school, but the memories are deeply embedded in my soul. Every year it is the same when August begins.
There's something in the air; I can feel it! My first foray to old mountaineer field was in 1960 at old Mountaineer field and I still get that excitement in my chest just waiting; anticipating. Those memories: Being a student when we kicked that field goal to beat Pitt and rushed the field and yes, tearing down the goal post. Up to Sunnyside to celebrate! Was that the first fire-in-the-street?
It's been 221 days since the last college football game and-it-starts today, finally. I must wait 8 days for my favorite team to start but any football is better than none. As always, I have high hopes for my beloved Mountaineers! I have confidence in the coaching staff and their decisions to bring in this bunch of guys. Year 2 under Rich will mean improvement and they just might take a huge leap forward. Don't count them out but just remember it's year 2.
I'm looking forward to a MUCH-improved running game since the addition of Coach Trickett and a loaded running-back room, more speed on defense and a healthy QB room. Running the ball makes everything else easier and we need big plays out of the running game!
Have a great year, all of you Mountaineer fans, be safe and kind.

The Chicago Bears traveled to Nashville for their second joint practice of the preseason when they took on the Tennessee **** ans ahead of their game on Saturday.
It was a hot and humid day when practice got underway, which made for some chippiness, as well as a few injury scares. The Bears' offense had their way with the **** ans' defense as multiple skill players got the best of Tennessee's secondary. Ben Johnson also dialed up a few complex plays that put the **** ans in a blender. Defensively, the Bears continued to struggle stopping an opposing offense. Things were made worse when starting cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson exited practice early, though Stevenson did return. And to top things off, a scuffle broke out after a big hit from Bears safety Xavier Woods.
Here's what we learned from Thursday's joint practice.
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has said he enjoys playing in cold weather, but it seemed like he didn't mind the heat so much either on Thursday. Starting out in practice, Williams was dialed in. According to CHGO's Adam Hoge, he completed 9-for-11 passes with six straight completions. Hoge notes the two incompletions were a throwaway and a drop, with the targets being spread out to eight receivers.
Meanwhile, NFL on Fox's Ben Arthur said Williams made special plays out on the field, highlighting his completion on a layered throw to Rome Odunze. And Blaine Kellar of Main Street Nashville clocked Williams at just three incompletions during the entire first half of practice. Whoever you ask, it's clear Williams had a strong first half of practice before the **** ans began generating pressure and forcing Williams to make poorer throws as the practice concluded.

On August 14, AirJoule Technologies (NASDAQ:AIRJ) reported second-quarter results that arrived alongside a striking backdrop: state governments are now blocking new data centers over water use, and AirJoule sells machines that make water out of thin air. The company posted a net loss of $8.5 million, mostly noncash, while laying out how tightening water rules in New York, Texas and California are turning into sales opportunities rather than obstacles. It is a story about regulation reshaping demand before the revenue has caught up.
New York enacted a moratorium on data center permits above 50 megawatts, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott paused new grid-connected data center approvals pending a water audit, according to CEO Matt Jore. California's own water supply strategy projects the state could lose 10% of its water supply by 2040 due to hotter, drier conditions, and any residential project of 500 units or more there now needs written proof of a 20-year water supply just to get a permit. Texas faces a similar squeeze: state water plans point to a 10% decline in supply by 2080 even as the population is expected to grow 53% in that span. AirJoule's answer is a system that pulls distilled water from humidity using low-grade waste heat, sidestepping municipal supply entirely.
That pitch just found a distribution channel. In July, AirJoule signed an exclusive sales agreement with Kubota Corporation covering residential developments in Texas and California, with two Core systems set to deploy near Corpus Christi and in Irvine this quarter. The company is also stacking up validation: a Core unit is running as a showcase at GE Vernova's new Frontier campus in Niskayuna, New York, another shipped to Expo City Dubai after AirJoule won one of the UAE's first Expo City green licenses, and the first Prime unit is headed to Europe to demonstrate data center waste-heat recovery for Net Zero Innovation Hub members including Google and Microsoft. Corporate cash stood at $41.4 million as of June 30, and combined with the joint venture's balance, AirJoule holds $43 million with zero debt.
That $8.5 million net loss included $5.1 million in noncash charges tied to the rising fair value of earnout and vesting share liabilities, a reminder that the balance sheet is exposed to swings that have nothing to do with operations. More tangibly, AirJoule raised its 2026 cash spend guidance to $27 million to $28 million, up from an earlier $25 million estimate, because commercialization is moving faster than planned. The joint venture alone burned $5 million in operating expenses during the quarter and needed another $2.5 million capital contribution from AirJoule to keep manufacturing and pilot work funded.

The Kansas City Chiefs will look to secure their first preseason win since 2023 on Saturday when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in humid West Florida weather.
As they headed to the locker room at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce displayed their unique fashion sense in front of fans and reporters.
Mahomes wore an all-navy outfit, including a navy-blue knitted Chiefs polo with matching pants, bright red sneakers, and his signature Oakley sunglasses.
Kelce wore a pink-striped Nahmias polo, a fresh pair of khaki cargo shorts, a white cap with the 1587 restaurant logo, and a multicolored leather weekender bag.
Take a look at what the rest of Kansas City's players wore ahead of their pivotal Week 2 preseason game against Tampa Bay:

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — New Orleans wide receiver Ronnie Bell was carted off the field because of the effects of Southern California heat after being involved in one of several fights during a chippy joint practice between the Saints and Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday.
"He just had to go inside for a little bit. He just got a little bit overheated," New Orleans coach Kellen Moore said.
Bell walked to the trainer's tent following a second brawl between the Saints offense and Cowboys defense. Several minutes later, he was put onto a cart with his jersey and shoulder pads off. Bell was alert and sitting up as he was driven off the field.
Bell is going into his fourth season in the NFL out of Michigan. He has 10 receptions for 113 yards and four touchdowns in 28 games with the San Francisco 49ers and Saints.
Temperatures were in the high 70s Fahrenheit (around 25 Celsius) and it felt hotter because of unusually high humidity for the region caused by El Nino, seemingly exacerbating the intensity of a two-hour workout that nearly devolved into chaos on multiple occasions.
