Steven Zajonc was arrested on March 2 and is accused of attacking women of Asian descent, ranging in age from 19 to 57, over a two-hour period. He was charged with seven counts of assault as a hate crime, attempted assault as a hate crime, aggravated harassment and harassment. Zajonc was arrested at the New York Public Library (NYPL) after two security guards reported him to authorities. Roshanta Williams alerted her partner, Lieutenant Elmirel Cephas, of the similarities between one of the library’s regular patrons and the man that police were searching for....

Charles Morgan had been on his way to visit his brother and father in West Palm Beach, Florida when bad weather forced him to check into the Rodeway Inn & Suites in Dania Beach at around 9 p.m. on August 1, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported. The following afternoon, Morgan, of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, was found dead in a bathroom in Room 3104 at the hotel, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said in a news release....

Thursday saw playing conditions turn sour as wind played havoc with shots. Among players affected: Rory McIlroy, who struggled to a 73 by making birdies on his final two holes. MORE: Honda Classic leaderboard | Bad day for McIlroy The field begins Friday chasing Jim Herman, whose 65 was a stroke better than Brendan Steele’s opening round. If wind affects late starters, McIlroy should find things better. He is scheduled to start play at 7:45 a....

In the Asia Dream cup, Honda racers Hari Krishnan, Sethu Rajiv and S. Mathana Kumar put up a spirited display to claim 7th, 10th and 13th positions respectively in the first race. The trio will have another shot on Sunday in the second race to pick up a podium finish. Claiming the first spot in Asia Dream Cup was Hiroki Nakamura of Japan who clocked 17.01.674 followed by Indonesian riders Yassiin Gabriel Somm and Muhd Febriansyah, who finished second and third respectively in a closely contested race....

The protests began as the city’s residents opposed a government-proposed extradition bill that would allow a Hong Konger to be extradited to Taiwan, where he allegedly murdered his pregnant girlfriend. The bill, if passed by the city’s legislature, would apply to jurisdictions Hong Kong doesn’t already have an agreement with, including mainland China, Taiwan and Macao. Hong Kong residents fear that they may face trial on the Mainland in the future....

After being beaten in his last two races, the seven-time overall champion from Austria posted the fastest times in both runs of a night event, accompanied by Bengal fireworks from a home crowd of over 40,000. Hirscher built a lead of nearly a second in the opening run and added another two-tenths in the final run to win by a massive 1.21 seconds ahead of Alexis Pinturault of France....

Its incredible - ===================== It has been a long wait for Games gold for Hirscher, who is the dominant figure of World Cup racing but whose best previous Olympic result was slalom silver in 2014. However, the Austrian has flourished in South Korea. He said his years of success on the World Cup circuit proved vital as he beat Norways Henrik Kristoffersen and Frances Alexis Pinturault into second and third place....

The mixed results, however, did not bode well for the Democrats in the general election, especially after John McCain became the presumptive Republican nominee Tuesday night with the departure of his last GOP rival, Mike Huckabee, from the race. McCain, who was scheduled to meet with George W. Bush in the Rose Garden on Wednesday, quickly took advantage of the Democratic disarray, saying Americans no longer had patience for an “uncivil brawl over the spoils of power....

Sounds like a fairly routine negotiation. Except that for the Bush administration this kind of pragmatic tit-for-tat talking with the enemy has been anything but routine. Indeed, a year ago, when North Korea tested and its vice minister of foreign affairs, Kim Gye Gwan, huffed that “we are a nuclear power,” such a negotiation would have been all but impossible. The hard-liners in the administration still had the upper hand—among them U....

But Lute, who was named this week to be Bush’s new war “czar” for Iraq and Afghanistan, is also just a three-star general, and he’s still on active duty. What this means is that while nominally he’s the president’s man—his title puts him on par with national-security adviser Steven Hadley—militarily he’s still inferior in rank to four-star Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and Gen. David Petraeus, commander of the multinational forces in Iraq....

Television footage from City’s defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday showed spectators in the front row shouting at Sterling as he collected the ball from in front of them. Both Chelsea and the Metropolitan Police have launched investigations to determine whether or not Sterling was racially abused in the incident. Sterling uploaded a post on his Instagram account on Sunday in which he criticised the coverage that black players receive in the media....

Federer produced another masterclass to beat Tomas Berdych in the second semi-final on Friday, a year after Milos Raonic denied him at the same stage. The peerless Swiss has reaped the rewards of cutting his 2016 season short after that agonising exit 12 months ago, returning to win an 18th grand slam singles title at the Australian Open in January. The 35-year-old world number five will become the first man to win the grass-court major eight times if he defeats Cilic, who was two sets up against Federer last year before losing a thrilling quarter-final....

IO Interactive has produced Hitman titles consistently since the late 90s. In 2016, it rebooted the franchise with a new episodic structure that, while risky, paid off in that the critical success refreshed the series in the minds of gamers. The sequel to 2016’s Hitman ditched the episodic release schedule, but kept the structure, which allows diligent players to meticulously pick apart each level in order to unlock every possible solution....

Since its launch, Hitman 3 has been receiving a steady wave of content that continues to flesh out the already expansive game. The largest new content to come to the game has been the Seven Deadly Sins DLC series, a 7-part expansion tasking Agent 47 with taking down the titular Christian sins, starting with Season of Greed in March. Hitman 3 is currently in the final season of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Season of Wrath, which brings the ongoing story to a close in time for next year’s new content....

Dabang Mumbai A team which has never made it to the semi-finals of the league in the last four editions looks in the best shape to tread that distance this time around in the 2017 edition. They are coming into this fixture on the back of two important wins, particularly a big one in the last outing when they thrashed the defending champions Jaypee Punjab Warriors 10-4, which will be a huge confidence boost for the squad....

The starting of the event has been in such a way that is quite synonymous with this year’s FIFA World Cup, held at Russia. Like the event in Russia, this World Cup is not a one-sided affair as well. Except for the drubbing that India gave to South Africa, none of the games have ended in a drab affair. The unpredictability of this Hockey World Cup is something that is not just brilliant, but also eye-catching....

Ancelotti was sacked on Thursday following a comprehensive 3-0 defeat to former club Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, the latest chapter in an underwhelming start to the campaign at home and abroad. In announcing the decision, Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge claimed Ancelotti’s dismissal was due to the team’s performances failing to meet expectations. But Hoeness indicated that dressing-room fractions played a key part in the manager’s downfall. “There were five players against Ancelotti,” Hoeness told Westfalenpost....

RELATED Hogwarts Legacy’s Appeal May Be The Puzzles Despite its theoretical Holiday 2022 release date, not much is known about the upcoming Warner Bros game. The developers have been rather tight-lipped, so fans have started speculating about what content the game will have — for instance, which magical creatures would make good bosses in the game? Which would be an interesting and new fight? Some creatures have been spotted in the trailer released during Sony’s State of Play, but they are not confirmed to be boss fights or roaming low-level enemies....

Even though Quidditch may not be included at launch in Hogwarts Legacy, the game still seems to put plenty of emphasis on exploration to make up for it. Players will be able to traverse large distances on their brooms, but they will also be expected to explore the school grounds and the walls within Hogwarts as well. Their base of operations will be in the Room of Requirement, and they will also have a customizable space in the dormitory of their chosen Hogwarts House....
