CNN —Snoop Dogg is used to recording tracks, not racing on them. But that didn’t stop the legendary rapper from putting on quite the show at the US Olympic athletics trials in Eugene, Oregon on Monday. Snoop was unsurprisingly smoked by his competition in the exhibition race at Hayward Field, finishing a distant third, but he still posted a very respectable time of 34.44 seconds. “Oh he’s jumping on top of the hurdle,” Snoop said in disbelief. “This wknd was fun … much respect to all tha world class athletes … see yall in Paris,” posted Snoop on his X account.

India and Pakistan will take on each other in the Men’s T20 World Cup. But I soon realized that one of the unexpected pleasures of cricket in America was seeing the sport bloom between the cracks. Through their eyes, the New York cricket world continued to bloom in front of me. I discovered weekend leagues, a high school league and peculiarly, the NYPD Youth Cricket League — the subject of my upcoming feature documentary. This year there’s a second competition, the National Cricket League, headquartered in Dallas, home to a large South Asian community.

☆ My grandma couldn't remember my name because of dementia. It really hurt even though I know it wasn't her fault.

When I was 16, my grandma started to forget things like turning off the stove and mistaking sugar for salt. Memory loss is one of the earliest symptoms of dementia and is often noticed first by other people besides the affected individual. My mom would visit my grandma daily while my sister and I accompanied her on weekends. It struck me that, although she couldn't remember my name, she never forgot about the value of getting an education. Despite everything, some memories remain intactThe weekend before my 17th birthday, my grandma was receiving palliative care at a hospital for pneumonia.

Less than a week after presenting his third collection as Ferragamo’s creative director in Milan this past September, Maximilian Davis was at ease. The clothes — a luxurious combination of asymmetrical dresses and Italian tailoring — had been well received. As he spoke, quietly but with confidence, he gestured gently with his hands, like a conductor keeping an unhurried tempo. But despite the pressure to update a storied house for a new era, Davis, who now lives in Milan, has stayed true to his community. “It’s something that my mother could wear, but also my sisters.”

Certain foods are too powerful to stay in the past. Buljol, named for the contorted patois of the French words brulé (burned) and gueule (mouth), is a dish of dried salted cod, and has followed my family through generations, well beyond my mother’s childhood in 1950s Trinidad. Every Friday night, my maternal grandmother, Elaine Cadet, whom everyone called Teacher, would make a sauté using the flaked meat of boiled salted cod (or saltfish, as it’s most commonly called in the Caribbean).

SYDNEY, April 24 (Reuters) - A set of gates at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) have been named in honour of Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara to mark the Indian's 50th birthday and the 30th anniversary of the West Indies batsman's innings of 277 at the ground. Cricket Australia said that visiting players would pass through the gates on their way to the pitch from the away dressing room in the Members Pavilion.

"I'm deeply honoured to be recognised at the Sydney Cricket Ground, as I'm sure Sachin is," said the 53-year-old Trinidadian.
