As the world mourns Dolly Parton, it's her family and inner circle that is hurting the most. Parton was 1 of 12 children, and 5 of her siblings, Larry, Randy, Floyd, David, and Coy, passed before she did. One of her surviving sisters, Stella, took to Facebook to share a statement, revealing new details about her life.

A growing number of Democrats who grabbed national attention as they led the resistance to President Donald Trump during his first term in the White House are the latest casualties in this year's primary battle between the party's left-wing and the establishment.
The latest victim: Alexander Vindman, who gained national prominence nearly a decade ago as the then-Army lieutenant colonel and National Security Council official who served as a key witness against Trump during the president's first impeachment trial.
Vindman, who made resisting Trump a key part of his Senate bid, was upset Tuesday in Florida's Democratic Senate primary by state Rep. Angie Nixon. A Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member, Nixon landed a double-digit victory over Vindman despite being outspent by a roughly 10-to-1 margin.

Miami running back Jordan Lyle was estimated to be driving 130 mph while attempting to flee a traffic stop in South Florida last month, according to a probable cause affidavit released on Tuesday, via the Miami Herald.
Lyle was arrested last week on charges of aggravated fleeing and eluding law enforcement, each of which are felony complaints in Florida. He is also facing a misdemeanor complaint of reckless driving.
He turned himself into the Sunrise Police Department on Thursday after an arrest warrant was issued. He was then released on bond that same day.
According to the report, Lyle was spotted driving north on the Sawgrass Expressway shortly after 7 p.m. on July 10 and was clocked by an officer driving 92 mph. The speed limit in the area is just 65 mph. When the officer tried to pull Lyle over, Lyle allegedly sped up and got to as fast as 130 mph while making "rapid, abrupt and unsafe lane changes to maneuver between vehicles." At one point, Lyle allegedly made a U-turn from a through lane after exiting the expressway.
Eventually, the officer turned off his lights and sirens and let him go to avoid further danger. An investigation later determined that the car was registered to Lyle, and it was linked to him via his parents' home surveillance system. Police spoke to Lyle via FaceTime on July 15, and he arrived at the police department with a lawyer to give a sworn statement later that day.

England white-ball captain Harry Brook has spoken about the criticism he received during his only Indian Premier League (IPL) season with Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2023, saying he was caught up in scrutiny on social media.
Brook scored 190 runs in the 2023 season despite making a century against Kolkata Knight Riders. His form dropped after that innings, and he came under pressure over his performances.
Looking back at that period, Brook said the attention around his IPL campaign affected him both on and off the field.
"I got into a little bit of a rabbit hole with scrutiny and social media when I was at the IPL," Brook told BBC Sport. "It didn't help me as a person on the field or off the field. I decided to, not stay away from social media, but also not go out of my way to look at it."
Brook said he now tries to view criticism differently, arguing that scrutiny can also show that people care about his performances.
"On the other hand, I actually feel it's a little bit of a compliment if people are giving me scrutiny and have an opinion about my game. I know it's not a nice thing to see people slagging you off, but it means people care and people think I can put in a better performance than I have done that day," he said.
Before his century against KKR, Brook had been criticised for his performances and said he was pleased to "shut up" supporters who were "slagging me off".
Brook has not returned to the IPL since that 2023 season. He was released by SRH before Delhi Capitals signed him for Rs 4 crore in 2024. He then withdrew from the 2024 season following the death of his grandmother.
DC bought Brook again for Rs 6.25 crore at the 2025 mega auction, but he pulled out of the tournament to prioritise his international commitments.
Brook was subsequently handed a two-year IPL ban under the BCCI's rules. He is eligible to return to the league at the 2028 mega auction.

Manchester Super Giants clinched their maiden men's ******* le while Trent Rockets Women lifted their first-ever trophy as The Hundred's sixth season reached a dramatic conclusion at Lord's. The Hundred's sixth season signed off in style at Lord's, with Manchester Super Giants and Trent Rockets sharing the spotlight on a Finals Day that produced two contrasting ******* le deciders.
Manchester Super Giants, formerly known as Manchester Originals, survived a late collapse to defeat Trent Rockets by five wickets in the men's final, while Trent Rockets Women produced a ruthless display to crush Sunrisers Leeds by eight wickets and claim their maiden ******* le.
The Trent Rockets also walked away with an additional prize, winning the inaugural Helix trophy for the best combined franchise performance across the men's and women's competitions.
The men's final looked to be slipping away from Manchester Super Giants before Tim Seifert intervened with a breathtaking ******* ault. Trent Rockets posted 158 for 8 from their 100 ******* , with Aneurin Donald leading the recovery with a rapid 38 off 19 ******* , while captain Lewis Gregory contributed 32 from 19.
The Rockets had made a steady start through Ben Duckett, but their momentum was checked by a double blow. Spinner Noor Ahmad was involved in the dismissal of captain Sam Billings before removing Tim David for a duck, leaving Manchester with an opening to seize control.
Donald and Gregory then rebuilt the innings with aggressive strokeplay, pushing Trent towards a competitive total of 158. Manchester's response began with a clear intent to attack.
Seifert turned the chase into a spectacle, smashing 72 off just 38 ******* , including seven sixes. His calculated aggression kept Manchester ahead of the required rate and put the Rockets under immense pressure. Paul Walter provided valuable support, adding 22 off 14 ******* , with the pair putting together a blistering 66-run stand from only 31 ******* .
But just when Manchester appeared certain to cruise home, the final overs produced a dramatic twist. Mohammad Amir dragged the Super Giants back into the contest with a superb spell, conceding just 29 runs and helping create six consecutive dot ******* . Heinrich Klaasen and Michael Bracewell also departed as the pressure suddenly mounted.
With Manchester needing a boundary to settle the nerves, Liam Dawson delivered. He launched a towering six over deep midwicket with just two ******* remaining, taking Manchester Super Giants to 162 for 5 after 98 ******* and sealing their first men's ******* le.
Noor Ahmad finished with three wickets for Manchester, while Amir claimed three for Trent Rockets, but it was Seifert's extraordinary innings that ultimately defined the final.
If the men's final went down to the wire, the women's contest was almost the complete opposite. Trent Rockets Women dismantled Sunrisers Leeds, formerly Northern Superchargers, to secure a commanding eight-wicket

The Hundred will award a trophy to the top combined team across the men's and women's formats for the first time this weekend.
The fan-named Hundred Helix trophy will go to the team who have earned the most points across the two competitions, which have been played alongside each other since 2021.
Trent Rockets are guaranteed to pick up the 2026 Helix trophy after qualifying automatically for both the men's and women's final. They have 60 points - 16 more than Sunrisers Leeds in second.
Rockets won the women's final but could not become the first team to win both competitions in the same year as the men's side were beaten by Manchester Super Giants later on Sunday at Lord's.
The combined trophy concept has got us thinking though - who would come out on top using a similar award in other sports?

The cry echoes around the changing room: "Marching on together!"
Except this isn't Leeds United's players belting out their club anthem, but the Sunrisers Leeds Hundred squad, awkwardly singing a new version.
There are lyric sheets involved, and some players are laughing as if struggling with a task set by a self-proclaimed comedy best man at a wedding.
The video is shared on social media by Sunrisers after a win and soon deleted.
It illustrates a key issue facing The Hundred after its first year since the private investment that has resulted in several rebranded teams - including Sunrisers, who took the place of the Northern Superchargers.

SUNRISE, Fla. — From little league football to the national championship, Linda Fletcher has never missed one of her son's games.
She is always in the stands when her son, Mark Fletcher Jr., takes the field for the Hurricanes. But she is afraid of flying, so Fletcher has spent the past three years driving to each UM game, whether that means a short trip from her Broward County home to Hard Rock Stadium or a cross-country trip to California's Bay Area in a rental car.
"That was a really big deal, coming from Fort Lauderdale," Fletcher said. "I had never been to California before. And then now it's like, I've been to Texas so many times, I could drive there with my eyes closed. But, yeah, all those trips, we have made it very fun."
This year, Fletcher and her family will be traveling in style. She teamed with Miami legend Michael Irvin's production company, Playmaker Production Group, which gifted her a personalized RV in connection with Fun Town RV. She will get to drive the new RV to each of the Hurricanes' games this year as part of their new web series, "Fetching Fletchers."
Fletcher said she flagged down Irvin when he was on the sideline at a Miami game last year. They talked about her travels, and she said it would only be better if she had an RV. Luckily for her, Irvin knew the owner of the RV company.

Miami running back Jordan Lyle has been charged with a felony count of fleeing/eluding police and a misdemeanor count of reckless driving, according to the Broward County state attorney's office in Florida.
A state attorney official said Friday that Lyle voluntary surrendered to police on Thursday. Court records show he was released after posting bond the same day.
The arrest warrant was filed by police in Sunrise, Florida, but other details of what happened weren't immediately available.
The university released a statement saying it is aware "of an incident involving student-athlete Jordan Lyle" and would not have any further comment because it is a legal matter.
The 20-year-old Lyle is entering his junior season and expected to compete for a key role in the Hurricanes' offense behind senior Mark Fletcher. A nagging ankle injury limited Lyle to 35 carries for 108 yards and a TD in six games last season.

Miami junior running back Jordan Lyle was arrested on Thursday on charges of aggravated fleeing and eluding law enforcement, according to court records in Broward County, Florida.
The aggravated fleeing and eluding law enforcement are each felony complaints. Lyle also faces a misdemeanor complaint of reckless driving.
"We are aware of an incident involving student-athlete Jordan Lyle," a University of Miami spokesperson said in a statement on Friday, via the Miami Herald. "As due legal process runs its course, we will have no further comment at this time."
Lyle, 20, was booked into the Broward Main Jail of the Sheriff's Office on an arrest warrant from the Sunrise Police Department and was released later in the day. The charges against Lyle carry a combined $55,000 bond.
Last season as a sophomore, Lyle rushed for 108 yards and 1 touchdown on 35 carries. He was limited to six games due to a high ankle sprain suffered in the Hurricanes' season-opening 27-24 win over Notre Dame. As a freshman, Lyle compiled 400 rushing yards on 54 carries with 4 TDs.

WASHINGTON, Aug 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. government will invest $3 billion in critical minerals and battery projects as part of a push to increase domestic production and boost national security and industrial policy, President Donald Trump said on Friday.
"We're reclaiming America's rightful place as the minerals superpower of the world," Trump told more than 200 mining executives, educators, investors and fellow politicians at a roundtable at the State Department aimed at supporting the industry, which he said had not received enough attention from Washington in recent years.
He announced a slew of investments during his speech, including a $1.4 billion conditional loan from the Defense Department's Office of Strategic Capital for Sila Nanotechnologies, which makes lithium-ion battery parts.
The OSC also extended a $400 million conditional loan to scandium miner Sunrise Energy Metals and a $150 million conditional loan to magnet developer Niron Magnetics.

South Florida fans — sporting cowboy hats, boots and their favorite pairs of jeans — returned to Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday night, hoping to see another win for the Florida Freedom on day two of Professional Bull Riding competition in Sunrise.
Standing in their way of another victorious night following the Freedom's day one win over the Missouri Thunder was the New York Mavericks. Despite occupying the last-place spot in the team standings, the Mavericks may have been the last team the No. 2 Freedom wanted to see based on Friday night's performance.
The then-winless Mavericks bested the then-No. 2 Texas Rattlers, and New York was clearly on the hunt to make history repeat — and to win its third straight meeting with the Freedom. However, while both teams were able to put up just one qualified ride, Florida ultimately grabbed its second win of the weekend 89.00-86.80.
Leandro Zampollo kicked things off for the Mavericks, but it was a quick ride for him. He bucked off Bruise Whacked in 3.75 seconds.
Then, it was time for the Freedom, coached by PBR Ring of Honor inductee Paulo Crimber, to start their night. In the leadoff position was Austin Richardson on Blazin Halos Late Night Toss, and he got his team out to an early lead, posting an 89.00. His ride proved a crucial one, as the Dallas native gave Florida its only points of the game and pushed his team past New York.

TimesofIndia.com in London: The summer of cricket continues unabated in England. The men played three Tests against New Zealand and five T20Is and three ODIs against India. As for the women, there was the T20 World Cup and the one-off Test between India and England. And now, it is the turn of The Hundred, which began on July 21.
The Hundred, the unique tournament featuring 100-ball innings, is back with its sixth edition. Much has changed, and yet not a lot has changed. It still has eight teams, still features 100-ball innings where bowlers can bowl spells of five or 10 consecutive ****** , and is still objectively meant to quicken the game and feature double headers - men and women - on the same day.
On the opening day, defending men's champions MI London beat Sunrisers Leeds at The Oval. In the day's first game, Sunrisers edged MI London by 7 wickets in the women's competition. A day later, in Southampton, Southern Brave women narrowly got the better of Welsh Fire. And the men's match later in the day had the reverse outcome.
What's changed is the ownership, the team names, and the kit designs. After an influx of £520 million into The Hundred, the Ambani family acquired Oval Invincibles (now renamed MI London), Sun Group purchased Northern Superchargers (now SunRisers Leeds), and RPSG Group bought Manchester Originals (now Manchester Super Giants). GMR Group, co-owners of the Delhi Capitals, have taken a 49% stake in Southern Brave.
On the opening day of the season at The Oval, the mood was as relaxed as one would expect at this time of year. The sun was out, and it was a pleasant day, away from the baking heat that this country had seen in the last couple of months. Even though it was a weekday, families were out in numbers, making the most of numerous entry points that get you into this cricket stadium in Kennington.
A venue that has seen three consecutive Test defeats for the hosts. It was here just a month ago that New Zealand walloped England by 253 runs. And it was here just about a year ago that Mohammed Siraj bowled with great fire to help India secure a series-levelling win by just 6 runs.
But now, on a Tuesday, The Hundred got underway, and the buzz was equal parts cricket, family and entertainment. A father, holding the hands of two of his kids, walked around and sought the support of a steward in finding the “family section.” Unlike international cricket, where tickets get sold for £100 or more, The Hundred hopes to bring in the masses with reasonable pricing.
With kids two and under going free, tickets for 3-15-year-olds are worth £5, and tickets for adults start from as little as £14. So, an entire young family could see two consecutive cricket matches, spanning about five hours or over, for £30-40.
To unwind after a long day at work, numerous food carts, kiosks and drinks stalls came to the rescue. From Middle Eastern to fast food to Indian, everything was on offer to suit the palates of the patrons. To

For hundreds of thousands of student athletes, college sports are an opportunity. Sports are a means to a better life because they teach young men and women the traits that are necessary to succeed as adults – grit, work ethic, self-discipline and teamwork.
Student athletes often must train before sunrise, balance full academic schedules and compete for their teammates, their schools and the communities that stand behind them.
At a time when Americans are divided on so many issues, seeing young men and women mature through sports is one thing that unites and inspires us. College sports remain a rare tradition that still brings people together.
On fall Saturdays during football season, college towns come alive. Stands fill with school colors, marching bands echo through the afternoon air, and thousands of families, friends and alumni return to campus, carrying decades of pride and history into every rivalry game.
Yet the foundation that has sustained college athletics is beginning to crack.

Richard Gleeson, who was signed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) as an injury replacement for Nuwan Thushara for INR 1.6 crore ahead of IPL 2026, made a sensational start to his The Hundred 2026 campaign with MI London, producing a match-winning spell against Sunrisers Leeds.
The 38-year-old England pacer was drafted into RCB's squad after Sri Lankan speedster Nuwan Thushara was unable to join the franchise, with Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) refusing to grant him a No-Objection Certificate (NOC).
Now representing MI London (formerly Oval Invincibles), the defending champions of The Hundred, Gleeson showcased his class in the opening match of the 2026 season at The Kia Oval.
Leading MI London's pace attack, Gleeson ripped through the Sunrisers Leeds batting lineup, returning outstanding figures of 4/25. The veteran seamer struck at crucial moments whenever Sunrisers Leeds looked set to build a partnership. He also came within one delivery of a hat-trick after dismissing Zak Crawley and Benny Howell off successive ****** , putting the opposition under immense pressure.
His disciplined spell restricted Sunrisers Leeds to 143, laying the perfect platform for MI London's chase.
MI London's chase got off to the worst possible start as Brydon Carse produced a fiery opening spell, clocking speeds in excess of 90mph. The Sunrisers Leeds pacer removed Will Jacks and birthday boy Jason Roy cheaply, reducing the defending champions to 4/2. When Nathan Ellis bowled James Vince for 13, MI London found themselves in trouble at 51/3, with the momentum firmly in Sunrisers' favour.
However, the game turned completely after Nicholas Pooran walked to the crease. The West Indies star launched a breathtaking counterattack, smashing 58 off just 22 ****** *, including five fours and five sixes. He raced to his half-century in just 19 deliveries, registering the fastest fifty in MI London's history.
At the other end, captain Sam Curran played the perfect supporting role, remaining unbeaten on 60 off 39 ****** . The duo stitched together an unbroken 93-run partnership off only 40 deliveries, guiding MI London to 144/3 in 84 ****** and sealing a commanding seven-wicket victory with 16 ****** to spare to begin their ****** le defence in style.
