Emma Heming Willis shared an emotional note in support of her husband, Bruce Willis, to honor World FTD Awareness Week.
Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, also called FTD, in 2023. He was initially diagnosed with aphasia, a neurological condition that affects communication, in 2022.

"I can't go through World FTD Awareness Week without talking about Bruce. He is the driving force behind my advocacy," Heming Willis said in a post shared on Instagram last week.
"He has opened so many doors for me in this work, and I will continue to walk through them. I will not let his diagnosis be in vain," she said.

Emma Heming Willis is making Bruce Willis the center of her message during World FTD Awareness Week, using a new tribute to explain why his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis continues to drive the advocacy work she has built around families facing the disease.
Emma shared a new photograph of the 71-year-old actor alongside a message describing him as the reason she continues pushing for greater awareness, research and support. "He is the driving force behind my advocacy," she wrote, according to PEOPLE.
She also made clear that she sees the platform created by Bruce's diagnosis as something she intends to keep using. Emma wrote that she would not let his diagnosis "be in vain" and said the doors his story has opened allow her to help people living with FTD and other dementias, as well as the people caring for them.
In March, Emma launched the Emma & Bruce Willis Fund for Dementia Research and Caregiver Support, turning several years of public advocacy into a grant-making effort focused on awareness, research and practical help for caregivers.
Emma's World FTD Awareness Week post featured Bruce sitting outdoors in a bucket hat and dark sunglasses. She described how his influence is continuing through the advocacy work that grew out of their family's experience.

In college football, there are rivalries that date back generations.
Including one that has its roots in the Civil War.
That would be the 'Border War' between Kansas and Missouri, that is renewed on Friday when the 1-0 Jayhawks host the 1-0 Tigers, who are ranked No. 23 in the latest edition of the AP Top-25. The 122nd installment of this rivalry game was expected to be intense, but Kansas turned up that heat throughout this entire week.
It began earlier in the week, when the team shared this image:
This is from a mural painted by John Steuart Curry **** led "Tragic Prelude," which is located in the rotunda of the Kansas State Capitol Building. It depicts abolitionist John Brown in the center, holding a Bible in one hand, and a rifle in the other. He is surrounded by both Union and Confederate soldiers, with him at the middle trying in vain to hold them back.

Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter understands the multifaceted dynamics involved in putting together the perfect football team. More impressively, Minter has frequently given accolades to his colleagues in press conferences, a show of his selfless nature and strong belief in interdependence.
As a former defensive coordinator, Minter is well aware that his eyes can't be everywhere on every play. This is why he deployed Anthony Weaver to designate the front seven of his defense in his current role. Minter will call the defensive plays, offensive coordinator DeClan Doyle will call the offensive plays, and quarterback Lamar Jackson will have the power to veto via audible. Minter and his staff seem to have honed in on a recurring design. Nickel and 3-4 personnel groups will appear on defense, while 11-, 12-, and 13-personnel groups will be seen heavily on offense.
Furthermore, the Ravens have a clearly defined infrastructure. This willingness to commit to both an offensive and defensive identity makes Minter's leadership role even easier. In 2026, Minter won't need a bunch of heavy, jargon- and aura-based speeches. Instead, he's focused on the product he puts on the field and not upholding some vain persona.
Ultimately, Minter trusts his staff, and his deferential disposition has allowed the team to foster a new identity. From media clips provided by the team administration to the preseason execution seen on broadcast, it's very clear that the 2026 Ravens will rely heavily on collaboration and cohesiveness to right their wrongs from a season ago.

Guernsey FC maintained their unbeaten start to their Southern Combination Premier Division season as they twice came from a goal down to draw 2-2 at Crawley Down Gatwick.
The hosts took a seventh-minute lead when Will Harley curled past Seb Sheppard after some neat passing following a counter-attack down the right.
James Laws went close to doubling the lead 25 minutes later before Will Fazakerley and Callum Le Lacheur had chances for the Green Lions as they went into the break a goal down.
But the visitors levelled six minutes after the break as Sam Murray nodded on Charlton Gauvain's cross from the right and Jamie Dodd was able to bundle the ball home at the far post.
The hosts were back in front just four minutes later as Archie Drillot's weak back-pass was picked up by Harley and substitute Callum Kilkenny finished well moments after coming on.

Guernsey FC progressed through the FA Vase first qualifying round after a 1-0 win at Newhaven.
Charlton Gauvain put the Green Lions ahead in the 10th minute as he rounded the goalkeeper and finished well.
Goalkeeper Josh Addison kept his side in front at the break thanks to a number of decent saves.
Sam Murray saw an early second-half effort saved while Gauvain had a chance cleared off the line as Guernsey upped the tempo.
The Green Lions were again grateful to Addison as he saved a free kick with 10 minutes to go.

Carly Simon and James Taylor were a power couple of the 1970s, but behind closed doors, drug addiction and infidelity led to the demise of their marriage.
The "You're So Vain" singer and "Fire and Rain" hitmaker tied the knot when he was 26, and she was 30 after dating for just a year.
Despite making sweet music together during the height of their fame, Carly and James' home life was less harmonious, resulting in a divorce and decades of silent treatment from James.

ATLANTA (AP) — After earning his first career save, New York Mets pitcher Kodai Senga wanted the ball as a keepsake.
Whoops!
Rookie teammate Carson Benge had already tossed it into the Atlanta crowd.
Recently shifted to a short-relief role in his fourth major league season, Senga closed out New York's 8-5 victory over the Braves with a scoreless ninth inning Monday night. Mauricio Dubón flied out to Benge in right field for the final out, and he turned toward the stands looking to send a fan home with a souvenir.
Senga, well aware of his achievement, held out his arms in disbelief with his mouth agape while watching the whole thing transpire. In a funny scene, he raised both hands trying to grab Benge's attention as Senga and Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez both called for the baseball in vain.

The '60s were defined by one of the world's largest cultural shifts. Mod fashion popularized unique silhouettes, bold haircuts, and bright clothing, while consumers started to experiment with their appearances more than ever before. As the vibrant Mod movement made room for endless beauty experimentation, a new generation of fashion icons emerged, and models were able to redefine the industry.
While some celebrity outfits from the '60s defined the era's style, fashion models became just as influential. Models even started to influence the music scene, not only through their on-again, off-again relationships with musicians, but also through their fashion choices, which changed the way singers dressed. The '60s were an exciting time for the beauty realm, and it was a golden age of the fashion model. As models became celebrities in their own right, they paved the way for the rise of the supermodel.
Decades later, many of the era's most legendary models are unrecognizable. While some retired from modeling after the '60s, pursuing careers in film or design instead, others stepped away from the spotlight altogether. Looking at side-by-side photos of these legendary '60s models highlights just how much they've changed, but they still look amazing.

Barcelona are still giving their all to try to sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid this summer transfer window.
After a few weeks of the club looking at alternatives in vain, Barça have returned to the Alvarez file, pushing to hold fresh talks in recent days.
Since the start of the summer, Los Colchoneros have maintained a stubborn stance that the 26-year-old is not for sale.
Sporting director Deco has travelled to Madrid in recent days to hold talks with the player's camp and strategise how to move forward with the negotiations.
According to Mundo Deportivo, despite the Catalan club's push in recent days, Atletico have reaffirmed that the Argentine striker is simply not for sale.

Josh Addison's penalty save helped Guernsey FC start the season with two wins from two games.
The Green Lions won 1-0 at East Grinstead Town in their first away match of the season.
The victory means the islanders are one of just four Southern Combination Premier Division teams to win their first two games of the season so far after a 3-0 win against Pagham on Saturday.
Will Fazakerley scored his second goal in as many games when he gave Guernsey a 14th minute lead from the penalty spot after Charlton Gauvain was brought down.
But East Grinstead had the chance to level from 12 yards just three minutes later when Jacques Cauvain fouled Ollie Starkey in the box.

Albeit likely the most recognizable, Carly Simon is certainly not the only famous, or talented, person in her family.
The "You're So Vain" singer is the daughter of Richard L. Simon — the "Simon" in legacy publisher Simon & Schuster, which he co-founded with M. Lincoln Shuster in 1924 — and Andrea Heinemann, a civil rights activist and singer. She followed in her mother's musical footsteps in the early 1960s, starting a music group with her sister Lucy Simon as the Simon Sisters, and now, so have her children gone on to follow in her own.
In July 2026, the singer-songwriter, 83, in a statement to **** O!, revealed that she had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, as well as and basal cell carcinoma, over the past few years. "So many people have written to me, kindly wondering about my relative silence, asking how I am and what I have been doing," she began. "The truth is, I've been learning how to live with Parkinson's disease."
Learn all about Carly's two kids below, but first, her relationship with their father, fellow musician James Taylor.

Falkirk boss John McGlynn insists there has been "no contact" from the Scottish FA over the national team manager vacancy but wouldn't be drawn on whether he'd be interested in taking the job.
Scotland are searching for a new boss after Steve Clarke left following this summer's World Cup where his side failed to progress out of the group stage.
After securing back-to-back promotions with the Bairns and a top-six finish on their first season back in the top flight, McGlynn was tipped as an excellent choice to succeed Clark by former Scotland manager Craig Levain.
While the 64-year-old insists he's flattered to be linked to the position, he's fully committed to Falkirk.
"It's amazing for high-profile people in the game to be pushing my name for that job," McGlynn told Sky Sports.

Real Madrid have been in the market for a new midfielder for much of the summer transfer window, but until now, their efforts have been in vain. They were forced to end their interest in Enzo Fernandez after they were priced out of a move by Chelsea, although that has seen them turn their attention back to Rodri.
It’s been a summer to remember so far for Rodri, who captained Spain to glory at the 2026 World Cup. He was awarded the Golden Ball for his individual efforts, and his performances have reportedly brought Real Madrid back to the table.
Rodri is a player that Real Madrid have appreciated for some time, but any chance of him being pursued looked dead in the water earlier this summer. This no longer appears to be the case, and the fact that he could be available for a reduced price – due to his contract expiring in 2027 – makes him an even more attractive option for the Bernabeu club.
However, Real Madrid’s interest is not particularly advanced at this stage. According to Diario AS, sources from within Manchester City have denied any contact over a Rodri deal, with the same people claiming that the speculation has only come about because of the 30-year-old’s excellent performances at the World Cup.
It would make a lot of sense for Real Madrid to go for Rodri this summer. He will be available on a cut-price deal if he continues to resist a new Man City contract, and as his performances at the World Cup showed, he is back to being one of the best midfielders in the world.

Winger Karim Adeyemi has officially left Borussia Dortmund and joined Spanish champions Barcelona, with the 24-year-old signing a contract until 2031.
"Adeyemi brings an exciting and versatile attacking profile to the Barça squad," the Catalans said in a club statement on Thursday.
"Throughout his career, he has shown his ability to play on either wing as well as through the middle as a centre-forward, combining blistering pace with a powerful left foot."
Dortmund had allowed him to hold talks rather than start pre-season with the Bundesliga side.
According to reports, Dortmund and Barcelona have agreed a fee of €22 million ($25 million) plus €7 million in bonuses. Dortmund had tried in vain for weeks to extend his contract.

The 2026 MLB draft came and went, with the Angels selecting 15 players among the 20 rounds. With interim general manager John Mozeliak now in charge, he allowed scouting director Tim McIlvaine more freedom in the draft.
As Mozeliak said when he was appointed interim GM, he wanted to focus on the draft and finding key players to help this ballclub's farm system and win in the future.
With the 12th overall pick, the Angels selected 17-year-old Jared Grindlinger out of Huntington Beach High School. This pick breaks the seven-year streak of the Halos selecting a college player with their first-round pick.
Grindlinger is a 6 '3, left-handed outfielder who batted .376 in 2026. He had an OPS of 1.000, combined with 22 RBI's, two home runs, two triples, and 10 doubles. While Grindlinger is an offensive threat and plays well in the outfield, he is also a decent left-handed pitcher. His versatility will certainly fit into the Halos' future.
To top it off, Grindlinger grew up an Angels fan. He's said that "it's been surreal," as he officially signed with the Halos and visited the stadium on July 18. It's no surprise to see the Angels go after Anaheim natives.

#grindlinger #players #future

While the big names in the MLB draft are all gone after the first day (or essentially committed to going to or back to college next year), there are future big leaguers every year in the second or third day of the draft. Recent Royals draft picks outside of the first 150 picks in the last decade to make it to the big leagues include David Sandlin, Noah Cameron, Anthony Veneziano, Noah Murdock, Vinnie Pasquantino, Tyler Tolbert, Austin ******* , Jonathan Heasley, Nate Eaton, Tyler Zuber, Brewer Hicklen, Nicky Lopez, and Richard Lovelady.
Can anyone from today join them? Only time will tell, but let's not forget: being drafted at all is an incredible achievement. Only 5% of the roughly 10,000 draft-eligible NCAA baseball players every year are selected by an MLB team.
McElvain transferred from Vanderbilt and moved completely to the bullpen, where he threw 38.1 innings, struck out 34.4% of batters, and had a 1.88 ERA. He stands at a hefty 6' 4", 250 lbs. Rated by MLB as the 144th-best prospect in the draft.
Another bullpen arm, LeGuernic is young to be drafted as a junior—he doesn't turn 21 until October—and had a 4.69 ERA in 19 games. Rated by MLB as the 220th-best player in the draft.
A starting pitcher, Vigue started 16 games for the Bulldogs with a 4.43 ERA against tough SEC competition. Rated by MLB as the 201st-best player in the draft.

Arkansas baseball pitcher Ethan McElvain was selected by the Kansas City Royals with the No. 151 overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 MLB Draft on Sunday, July 11. He is sixth draft pick this weekend for the Razorbacks.
McElvain's projected slot value at No. 151 is $476,900.
The Tennessee native just wrapped up his one-and-only season with Arkansas. The junior lefty did not pitch on the weekend until the Hogs' fourth series of the season, but he quickly demanded more innings and eventually settled into the closer role for Dave Van Horn.
McElvain went 6-0 with a 1.88 ERA and six saves across 38⅓ innings pitched. He struck out 55 batters and only issued 13 walks as one of the most-dominant relievers across the SEC.
McElvain took his pitching to new heights in 2026 thanks to better control. He spent his first two collegiate seasons at Vanderbilt, and McElvain walked 28 batters in 27⅓ innings during the 2025 season. The end result was a 7.24 ERA as a sophomore.

German international forward Karim Adeyemi has reportedly agreed to join Spanish champions Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund but a transfer fee is yet to be finalised by the clubs.
Sky TV said that Adeyemi has agreed terms on "a long term contract" with Barca and their German coach Hansi Flick.
It said he has asked Dortmund for a transfer despite a contract until 2027 which Dortmund have tried in vain to extend.
Spanish media said that Barca have submitted a first offer for the 24-year-old. It is said to be well below Dortmund's expectations and a quick agreement is not expected.
Adejemi came to Dortmund in 2022 for €30 million ($34.2 million) from Red Bull Salzburg. He is now valued at around €40 million.

Of the 13 Manchester United players called up by their national teams for the World Cup, only a few have managed to shine brightly.
One of them being Amad, who scored twice in the two games he came on as a substitute. However, his heroics went in vain as Ivory Coast were knocked out by Norway.
The 23-year-old's impressive performances have seen numerous teams eyeing a move, especially amid rumours of an impending exit after a difficult start to life under new United head coach Michael Carrick.
The former Atalanta wonderkid was an ever-present name in the starting XI under former head coach Ruben Amorim, who mainly utilised him as a wing-back.
But he struggled for regular minutes under Carrick since being asked to play further forward, managing only a single ******* ist under the former United midfielder.

A century or more ago, Englishmen travelled to South Africa hunting big game.
Steve Borthwick's modern-day tourists came with the same aim. England were looking for a contest that gave a true measure of where they stand against the world's best.
About five minutes into their 45-21 defeat by South Africa in Johannesburg they found it and found out.
Thomas du Toit had already steamrollered over for one try by then. Jasper Wiese had swept past Alex Coles with a run bristling with evil intent.
But it was the sight of loosehead prop Ox Nche stampeding through Ollie Chessum and Jamie George, with the England defence desperately, vainly backpedalling, that summed up a brutally chastening opening salvo.

South Korea’s Kim Min-jae became the only player that Bayern Munich sent to the World Cup to fail to make it to the knockout stage.
Bayern sent a total of 18 players to the tournament, with one of them, Jonas Urbig, being a training goalkeeper for Germany. It was initially 19 before Lennart Karl withdrew from the Germany squad with an injury. Although their time at Bayern has come to an end, Nicolas Jackson and Leon Goretzka are included in said number.
The representative countries are as follows – Germany, Austria, France, ***** an, South Korea, Croatia, England, Colombia, Canada, and Senegal. Among them, Germany, France, England, and Colombia won their groups. Austria, ***** an, Croatia, and Canada finished runners up, and Senegal made it through as one of the eight best third-placed teams.
However, Korea failed to take advantage of the easiest group they had ever received at a World Cup. They started out strongly by beating the Czech Republic, but a drab defeat to co-hosts Mexico and a shocking loss to South Africa saw them praying for results elsewhere to help them into the knockouts. Their hopes were in vain, as only one out of their three required scenarios came to fruition, and the Taegeuk Warriors ended up meekly packing their bags.
Kim himself played every one of Korea’s group games, but he, as well as most of the players, was not at fault for the downfall. Rather, the many faults of coach Hong Myung-bo and the — allegedly — deep rooted corruption of the Korea Football ***** ociation (KFA) made the disappointing results inevitable. The national team had lost the trust of the fans ever since Hong was appointed in questionable manner, and it got to the point where many fans were actively rooting for Korea to get embarrassed so that radical change could be forced into the KFA. Whether said change takes place, and if so, when it does, remains to be seen. At the time of writing, Hong has just resigned as national coach.

In their first encounter since 2002, France were hoping to get one over on Senegal after the African nation pulled off a shock the last time they both met at the World Cup. The opening fixture for Les Bleus at the FIFA World Cup 2026 marks only the second time the two nations have faced off against each other.
Following a poor performance in the first half, France recovered in the second half to exorcise their demons from 2002, with a much improved display. Les Bleus secured three points in their opening match thanks to a record-equaling goal from Kylian Mbappé and a deft chip from Bradley Barcola.
Given the plethora of attacking options at his disposal, Didier Deschamps opted for an attacking lineup against Senegal. With Kylian Mbappé leading the line, Ousmane Dembéle playing off the Real Madrid forward, Désiré Doué and Michael Olise either side of the France captain, the Les Bleus head coach went with an uncharacteristic attacking starting eleven.
Despite what would appear to be a frightening prospect for most defences on paper, the French attack failed to cause the Senegalese defence many problems. Mbappé struggled as a lone striker, with several of his touches going astray. The Real Madrid forward huffed and puffed whilst hoping to create something in the final third, but most of his efforts were in vain. He touched the ball 14 times in the first half and lost the ball on 7 occasions.
After a dressing down from Deschamps at half-time, the front four returned to the pitch for the second half with a renewed vigour and sense of purpose. With Olise in the ten and Mbappé more direct, things started to happen. This was displayed as the Bayern Munich attacking midfielder delivered a sumptuous ball into the path of the France captain, who made no mistake with a good finish beyond Édouard Mendy. Bradley Barcola later got in on the act with brilliant movement from the bench to secure the victory.

Kail Boudache (19) has signed his first professional contract with Olympique Lyonnais, rather than formative club Olympique Lyonnais.
Boudache ensured that he left a parting gift at Nice. He netted the goal that put Le Gym ahead in their Ligue 1 promotion/ relegation play-off against AS Saint-Étienne at the end of May. It ensured that the club remained in France’s top flight.
That was his third goal for Nice and his last. Boudache was integrated into the first-team set-up by Claude Puel around the turn of the year. The Côte d’Azur club were determined to retain the promising prospect, who had risen through their academy. After Nice secured safety, they made a final attempt to retain the winger and sign him to a first professional contract, but in vain.
Lyon made their move and succeeded in convincing Boudache to join the club. His arrival was confirmed on Monday. He has signed a five-year deal with Les Gones. OL will compete in the UEFA Champions League preliminary rounds next season.

AHMEDABAD: In the end, it had to be him.

Virat Kohli fittingly applied the finishing touches as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) sealed a second straight IPL ***** le, chasing down 156 to beat Gujarat ***** ans by five wickets in a one-sided final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday night.

'King' Kohli smashed Arshad Khan over long-on for six to finish things off with two overs to spare, capping a dominant performance.

RCB thus became only the third team after Chennai Super Kings (2010-11) and Mumbai Indians (2019-20) to win back-to-back IPL ***** les, a remarkable turnaround for a franchise long haunted by near-misses.
