Yusuf Pathan Gifted Toyota SUV to Irfan Pathan
Irfan Pathan, who is going through a lean patch in his cricketing career, had something to cheer about on Eid. Irfan, who has a penchant for cars, got the perfect gift he could have got - an expensive and elegant brand new Toyota SUV from his elder brother Yusuf Pathan.
It was just few weeks ago when Yusuf had told film director Farah Khan on a TV show that he always gifted things to Irfan as they share a very warm relationship. The lanky hard-hitting batsman gifted the white-coloured SUV, which he had selected well ahead and kept it a well-guarded secret from his sibling. "It was a surprise gift for me. I came back from Bangalore two days ago and was busy preparing for Eid. Though the car was bought five days ago, no one from my family told me about it,".
"It was only on Sunday night that my sister told me that Yusuf had bought a car for me. She took me to the car that was parked few blocks away. I loved it a lot. I always wanted a stylish SUV and Yusuf knew it," Irfan said.
Pay Tribute to Sir Bobby Robson
Some of the biggest names in football came together to pay tribute to Sir Bobby Robson at a remembrance service at Durham Cathedral on Monday. The former England manager died at home in Langley Park on July 31 at the age of 76 following a long battle against cancer.
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, England coach Fabio Capello, football legend Sir Bobby Charlton and Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola were among the 1,000 guests at the service.
Former England players including Gary Lineker, Paul Gascoigne, Alan Shearer and Stuart Pearce also attended. Lineker, who played in Sir Bobby's Italia '90 England World Cup side, praised his "hugely supportive and fiercely loyal" former coach, telling the congregation: "Sir Bobby Robson, we will miss you but we will never, ever forget you."

Renault banned for Two Years from F1 Racing
The Renault team have been given a two-year suspended ban from the Formula One world championship after admitting to race-fixing, the governing International Automobile Federation said on Monday.
Renault The French car manufacturer, appearing before an FIA World Motor Sport Council hearing in Paris, had said it would not contest accusations the team ordered Brazilian Nelson Piquet to crash his car into a wall at last year's Singapore Grand Prix so that Spanish team-mate Fernando Alonso might win.

The suspended ban will last until the end of the 2011 season.
"The World Motor Sport Council considers Renault F1's breach relating to the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix to be of unparalleled severity," the statement added.

BMW Championship Scores BMW Golf Championship Winner
Tiger Woods ensures No. 1 ranking going into the final tournament of the FedEx Cup with an 8-stroke win at the BMW Championship
It's been two years since the world's No. 1 golfer could put it on cruise control the way he did Sunday at the BMW Championship, his win capping a stellar stretch of events that will likely be remembered more for his failure at the PGA Championship.
Still, starting in late July at the Buick Open, Woods went 1-1-2-2-11-1 in the tournaments he played, a kind of run that only a few could fathom. It was his sixth victory of the year, 71st of his PGA Tour career, and gave him a whopping 10 wins by eight strokes or more.
To win three times in six tournaments might be a dream for some, but for Woods that domination has come to be expected.
And yet, it gets him very little as far as the FedEx Cup playoffs are concerned.
Woods will head to Atlanta for the Tour Championship in two weeks in first place in the standings, but hardly comfortable. Sort of like the Yankees winning Game 3 of the World Series in a blowout or the Patriots heading to the Super Bowl 18-0 -- you still have to finish it off.
Tiger Woods has won a championship after two years

Andy Murray beats Taylor Dent at US Open 2009
Andy Murray loves New York, even if the feeling wasn?t exactly mutual Sunday night at the U.S. Open.
Murray had to play the role of the bad guy, ending American wild-card entry Taylor Dent?s improbable run with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 victory in the third round at Flushing Meadows.
?Obviously the crowd wanted Taylor to win,? Murray said, ?but I played very well.?
The No. 2-seeded Murray is trying to become the first British man since the 1930s to win a Grand Slam singles title. The 195th-ranked Dent of Newport Beach, Calif.,
meanwhile, was thrilled to return to the U.S. Open for the first time since 2005?and even more pleased to win two matches.
Dent once was ranked as high as 21st, but he was told by doctors he might not be able to play professional tennis again after having three back operations.
?It?s nothing but positive for me. This is a huge step forward in my progression,? Dent said. ?I?m glad to be back, but I?m sorry I?m not sticking around.?

Rafael Nadal Injured still won the third round at the U.S. Open
Rafael Nadal was treated for a stomach muscle problem during his third-round victory at the U.S. Open on Sunday.
The No. 3-seeded Nadal beat No. 32 Nicolas Almagro 7-5, 6-4, 6-4 in an all-Spaniard matchup.
Nadal already was comfortably ahead when both he and Almagro received treatment from trainers after the third game of the third set. Nadal had a patch applied to his
stomach, while Almagro had his back worked on.
Nadal wouldn?t discuss his health afterward.
?I don?t want to talk about injuries,? he said. ?Sorry. No, no. I am a little bit tired to talk about injuries.?
Nadal is a six-time major champion who is trying to complete a career Grand Slam by winning the U.S. Open.

The former world number one, in her first Grand Slam for two years, breezed through the opening set with a flurry of powerful winners.

A slight, yet crisp breeze floating through the trees. The faint aroma of beer and cheese emanating from a nearby food vendor.
Open your eyes and this gritty town in the heart of New England still resembles the Badger State, as one glance at the leaderboard shows a pair of cheeseheads attempting
to turn the rest of the field into melted provolone.
Jerry Kelly playing with fellow Wisconsin native Steve Stricker, joked after his round that watching Stricker's putting stroke for 18 holes Sunday certainly helped him with the
flatstick.
Old pals Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly teed it up together in the 12:05 p.m. ET pairing at the Deutsche Bank Championship on Sunday for what very well may have been the
500th time in their lives. Or the 1,000th. Heck, maybe more, for all they know.

Force India stands firm over motorhome
Force India is confident that its dispute with the supplier of its motorhome will be resolved in its favour, despite an attempt by the contractor to have the motorhome impounded by German police at the Nurburgring this morning.
The team said it would continue discussions with the contractor but would not be backing down.
"The Force India Formula 1 team today received a visit from legal representatives accompanied by uniformed personnel who demanded that the team's motorhome be vacated as they wished to seize the team's property," said a team statement.
"This dispute with the contractor has been ongoing since last season and pertains to the quality of construction of the motorhome and its functionality.
"The contractor decided to take matters into their own hands without due notice and process and approached a local German court who were presented with highly disputable facts.
"Force India will resolve matters during the weekend with the contractor but will fiercely contest the wrongful claims made by them before the local German Court if no amicable settlement is achieved."

German GP: Friday 10th July 2009 Press Conference
A question to you all. Obviously the pace of development is very important in Formula One at the moment. Can you give us an indication of the pace of development and the new parts that you have brought to this particular race?
Pat Symonds: Well, as always the emphasis is on an aerodynamic development. The pace is high but it needs to be high for us as we try and catch the guys at the front. We have got a lot of new parts here. We have got a new front wing, a new engine cover. We have got modifications to the floor. The pace is relentless and it needs to be because when people like Red Bull put sort of 0.6 of a second on the car at Silverstone, it just makes it that much harder for us all to catch up.
Paddy Lowe: Actually we have pretty much the same package that Pat has just described although we have got a completely new floor and new front wing and top body. Yes, the same and it has been for some years now absolutely relentless. To give an example, the package we brought here, we accelerated that by more than a fortnight to get it here in time. I know of a guy that worked a machine 36 hours non-stop, without sleep, early this week on our floor. But that is the spirit of Formula One and the great competition that we have.
Sam Michael: Actually, listening to what the other guys have been saying it sounds like we are all doing the same thing. We have got a new engine cover, front wing and diffuser modifications as well. I think it is relentless but it is good for Formula One. The racing has been unbelievably close in terms of lap times, probably a lot more so than what I expected it to be with such a big rule change because all the cars are still in an early stage of development relative to the cars we finished with last year. We know how much pace we are putting on our car at every race. I would say on average you are having to put on 2 to 2.5 tenths every race just to stay where you are. That tells you everyone is developing very hard. I think that will continue all year. I don't think it will be the same as last year as some teams gave up early to concentrate on their new cars. This year really I think everyone will be developing to the last grand prix as 95 per cent of it should carry over to next year's car, so I think that development race is going to go all the way through.
Adrian Newey: Yeah, I feel a bit left out having put a fairly major update on the car for Silverstone. We have actually got very little here apart from a new, what we call, pod vane which is the vertical vane at the front of the side pod but other than that the car is the same as at Silverstone. On average the pace is ve0.

Sheffield United defender Kyle Naughton transferred to Everton
Sheffield United have accepted a bid from Premier League side Everton for defender Kyle Naughton, BBC Radio Sheffield understands.
The Blades turned down an offer of £3.5m in June but a fee, believed to be around £5m, has now been agreed.
The 21-year-old full-back has been at Bramall Lane since the age of eight, coming through the same youth system as Everton centre-half Phil Jagielka.
Naughton is due to discuss terms with the Merseyside club on Monday.
Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton makes come back
Controversial Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton could make a surprise return for the Magpies in a pre-season friendly against Shamrock Rovers on Saturday.
Barton's Newcastle career looked to be over after his sending off at Liverpool in May led to a dressing-room bust-up with caretaker manager Alan Shearer.
The 26-year-old was suspended but with Shearer's future at the club unclear, Barton has returned to training.
The former Manchester City player has been linked with a move to Birmingham.
Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is still trying to sell the club leaving the future of some players uncertain. Barton, who has played once for England, was a controversial figure at City before joining Newcastle for £5.8m in 2007.
He has started only 26 matches for the Tyneside club, with another six appearances off the bench.
In July last year, Barton received a four-month suspended sentence for assaulting Ousmane Dabo in a training-ground incident while both players were at City.
Barton was banned by the FA for 12 matches - six of which were suspended - and fined £25,000 after admitting a violent conduct charge in relation to the Dabo incident. He also spent two months in prison after admitting assault and affray.

Dhoni stars in India's victory in 3rd ODI
India dodged the showers to eke-out a workmanlike six-wicket victory over West Indies in the rain-hit third One-day International on Friday at the Beausejour Cricket Ground.
India take an unbeatable 2-1 lead the four-match series with the final match to be contested on Sunday at the same venue.
Chasing a revised target of 159 from 22 overs under the Duckworth-Lewis Method following a near hour-long stoppage for rain during their chase, India hit the jackpot with one ball to spare.
"It was close because every time we tried to get away from them, the rain kept coming and Duckworth-Lewis came into the picture," said India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, whose unbeaten 46 from 34 balls shepherded his side over the threshold.
"Overall, I am quite happy with the performance."
India were put on the path to glory, when their openers Dinesh Karthik and Gautam Gambhir shared 95 in 12.1 overs for the first wicket.
Karthik hit the top score of 47 from 43 balls, and Gambhir made 44 from 38 balls before they were dismissed within three overs of each other to leave India 108 for two in the 16th over.
India also lost Yuvraj Singh for two and Rohit Sharma for 11, but India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni held his nerve, and helped his side navigate the closing overs to take them over the threshold.
India required 11 from the final over, and Dhoni hit a six off the second ball from Jerome Taylor over mid-wicket, before Yusuf Pathan hit the winning run, when he stabbed a short, rising ball into square cover, and scampered a single.
Earlier, Ramnaresh Sarwan stroked 62 to lead West Indies to 185 for seven.
Sarwan struck five fours and a six from 58 balls, after India sent West Indies in to bat, and the home team tried to maintain the intensity, after the weather failed to cooperate, and reduced their innings to a maximum of 27 overs.
West Indies captain Chris Gayle supported with 27, Runako Morton scored 22, and Darren Bravo made 21 to keep the momentum going.
Ashish Nehra led India's bowling with three for 21 from five overs, and Harbhajan Singh captured two for 25 from five overs.
"The weather played a big part in the outcome, but there is nothing that we could have done about it," said Gayle.
"I thought we started pretty well in the batting, but we fell off a bit towards the end, and then they got off to a good start, and we tried to pull it back.
"It came down to the last over, and we have to give credit to Dhoni for the way he batted, and took his side home."
Play started two hours and five minutes late because of the weather, but then a couple more stoppages for rain forced the final reduction in the number of overs.
India were put on their heels by Gayle with typically robust batting before rain forced the players of the field.
Nehra made the breakthrough for India, when Gayle was caught behind in the fourth over, but then another shower sent the players scampering.
On resumption, India tried to keep a lid on the West Indies' scoring, but Sarwan added 51 with Morton, and 47 with Chanderpaul to keep the home team going.
When Gautam Gambhir's throw from square leg to keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Indian captain, ran Sarwan out in the 21st over, West Indies were 135 for four.
India were then put under further pressure, when the Bravo brothers - Darren and Dwayne - added 44 for the fifth wicket before West Indies lost three wickets for 16 runs in the last two overs.
There were two changes for India with Ishant Sharma and Abhishek Nayar replacing Praveen Kumar and Ravindra Jadeja, but West Indies were - predictably - unchanged.
India won the high-scoring opening ODI by 20 runs last Friday at Sabina Park in Jamaica, and two days later, West Indies rebounded to secure an eight-wicket victory in a low-scoring second ODI at the same venue.
Friday's victory means that India are now in pole position to formalise a rare ODI series victory in the Caribbean before embarking on a much-anticipated two-month break from the game.
