Dana Lawton, 33, faces a number of charges after she allegedly broke into the Gainesville Seventh Day Adventist Church in Gainesville, roughly 60 miles north-east of Atlanta, before setting the religious building alight. Police officers from Hall County Sheriff’s Office were called to the church following allegations of other offences, but had to react quickly once they saw the building on Old Cornelia Highway up in flames. A spokesperson for the Hall County Sheriff’s Office said officers first asked Lawton to leave the billowing church voluntarily, but were forced to take action when she refused....

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver spent a majority of the last six months working hard to write, direct produce and edit a ‘Star Wars’ fan film set on the scenic Athens, Ga. campus. A preview of the film was released in April, featuring some high quality special effects and a cameo from head coach Mark Richt. The senior wideout finally debuted the film over the holiday weekend and is available below in its entirety....

El Tri were placed in Group F alongside world-champion Germany, Sweden and South Korea. A potential second-place finish in the group would mean a date with Brazil in the round of 16, which would make it quite difficult for them to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in the competition outside of Mexico. To avoid that scenario, Mexico will likely need to knock off Germany. It will be no easy task, and Die Mannschaft’s English-language account already has reminded the North Americans what happened last time they met during the Confederations Cup - a 4-1 win during the semifinals....

That washing machine happens to be the future office of German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder. This week he and his staff move into the just-completed German Chancellery, part of the gleaming new government complex rising in the center of Berlin. But among all the new ministries, embassies and public works, the Chancellery is the one building tour guides, commentators and ordinary citizens alike love to hate. With its massive dimensions (it’s eight times larger than the White House, and 10 Downing Street could fit into the foyer), the postmodern, deconstructed edifice offends many Germans’ sense of proportion....

The 36-year-old Klose scored twice in Brazil, making him the highest-scoring player in the tournament’s history with 16 goals, one ahead of Ronaldo. It was Klose’s fourth World Cup tournament. With a career total of 71 goals, Klose is also the highest-scoring player for Germany. He is also the second most capped Germany player with 137 games. “The title in Brazil fulfilled a childhood dream of mine,” Klose said in a statement posted Monday on the German national team’s website....

Stefan Kuntz’s side faced the Central American nation in preparation for the 2020 Olympics, which begin next week. The teams were tied at 1-1, with Germany equalising thanks to a goal from Felix Uduokhai, before the alleged incident took place. What has happened? The players walked off the field with five minutes left to play. The Germany Olympics football team’s Twitter account claimed the players decided to leave because defender Torunarigha had been racially insulted....

The frigate warship known as the Bayern (Bavaria), departed the German naval base of Wilhelmshaven on Monday during a ceremony attended by the country’s defense secretary, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer. “Together with its allies, Germany wants to show more presence in the Indo-Pacific [region],” Germany’s navy said in a statement. China maintains that large portions of the nearly 1.3 million-square-mile area in the South China Sea are within its sovereign territory due to language in the Law of the Sea Convention....

Joachim Low opted to end his time in charge of the German national side after Euro 2020, with Flick persuaded to leave Bayern Munich to replace him in the top job. Flick has freshened up Low’s tactics, with seven consecutive wins in World Cup qualification heading into Qatar 2022 under their new head coach, and just two goals conceded in that run. A group-stage exit in Russia four years ago was Germany’s worst performance in World Cup history, with four successive semifinal or better finishes since 2000 prior to that....

Greg Tepper, managing editor of “Dave Campbell’s Texas Football,” isn’t afraid to put the recruitment of the Gatorade National Player of the Year in the same sentence as arguably the biggest Texas legend of all. “If Earl Campbell played in the social media age it would be similar,” Tepper told Sporting News. The four-star dual-threat quarterback from Allen High School has built that legend, and Tepper is almost willing to take the next step....

R.I.P., George ‘The Animal’ Steele, Ivan Koloff Wrestling lost a pair of legends this past week with George “The Animal” Steele and “The Russian Bear” Ivan Koloff dying. Steele — real name Jim Myers — was one of the wildest characters in WWE history. Before he joined the company, he was a villain chasing after Bruno Sammartino throughout the 1960s.

Kids with autism also often have traits and behaviors that make eating a challenge. These might be rigid rules about how the food is arranged on their plate or difficulty with change—wanting everything to always be the same—which means they aren’t open to trying new foods. The bottom line is, picky eating and autism often go hand-in-hand. However, when a kid with ASD turns up their nose at certain foods, refuses to taste new ones, or simply doesn’t eat enough, the underlying reasons may not be the same as for children who are developing typically....

‘James won’t leave Madrid in January!’ The 20-year-old, who has already made seven appearances for his national side and scored once, is a passionate fan of the Red Devils and confessed that his ultimate goal would be to play for them one day. Tetteh is on loan at Austrian second-division side Liefering from parent club Red Bull Salzburg but is determined to rise much higher in the European game....

In late 2021, Maxwell stood trial for several sex trafficking offenses she allegedly committed between 1994 and 2004 with Jeffrey Epstein at his homes in Florida, New York and New Mexico. She was accused of helping him procure girls, including a 14-year-old, who were subject to sexual abuse. Epstein took his own life in his New York prison cell in August 2019 before justice could be served, but for his victims, there was still some hope, when Maxwell’s trial began in November 2021....

New York’s secondary began calling itself the “New York Pass Defense,” or “NYPD,” which frankly has the Packers chuckling. “Well we’re in Wisconsin, so we don’t have to worry about that,” Green Bay receiver Davante Adams said, via ESPN.com. Receiver Geronimo Allison heard of the nickname for the first time on Thursday, but also didn’t seem to give the moniker much thought. MORE: Best, worst of every NFC playoff team...

But the size of the deal given to Harris — five years, $17.5 million, with more than $7.1 million guaranteed — that caused consternation. Harris, after all, was little more than a return man, having caught 17 passes in his first season, but only 16 combined in his next two seasons.

The person, who requested anonymity because the allegations have not been publicly disclosed, confirmed Monday that Hill failed another drug test. Teams and the league do not discuss such allegations because players have a right to privacy under the league's drug policy. A message seeking comment was left with Hill's agent. Fox Sports and the Star-Ledger of Newark were the first to report that the talented but troubled 24-year-old Hill failed another drug test....

Similarly, the NFL’s two new arenas—SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium—will in all likelihood have to wait until next year to welcome spectators. For the New York Giants and the New York Jets, however, playing games behind closed doors may have been a blessing in disguise so far as it probably spared them being booed off the field by their respective fans. Along with the Atlanta Falcons, the two New York franchises are the only teams to have lost each of their first five games so far this season and are rock-bottom of their divisions....
