Dubai Desert Classic: Three players finish at 68 at weather-hit opening day, Shubhankar yet to start
Dubai, Jan 26 (Ians) Thomas Pieters was the man to catch at the top of the leader board when the first round of the weather-affected opening day of the Dubai Desert Classic was suspended due to fading light on Thursday. But at 5-under through 15 holes he still had three more to play.
India’s lone man in the field, Shubhankar Sharma, who was due to start, did not get to start and will begin play on Friday morning. He could have a long day with his second round also due.
England’s Daniel Gavins had sat alongside Pieters when the hooter sounded but opted to finish up at the 18th in near-darkness and surrendered a bogey to join the large group on four under.
Gavins and countrymen Oliver Wilson and Matthew Jordan signed for 68s to set the early clubhouse target, while last week’s winner Victor Perez, Tommy Fleetwood and...

Lawyers are terrible people, some of the most loathsome, scummy shit-eaters on the planet. Except the good ones. There are those that care, that care enough to devote countless under-appreciated and and sorely under-compensated hours to impoverished clients in need, who care more about justice than a paycheck, who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. I have dinner with one of those lawyers every night, and dinner conversations sometimes go like this, "How was your day, Dustin?" "It was good, I pissed off some people, stirred a hornet's nest on the site, and wrote about 'Cougar Town.' How was your day?" "Oh, fine. I helped get a woman out of a violent situation, I prevented an unemployed man from being evicted and kicked out on the street, and I listened and validated half a dozen men and women who have never had anyone take their problems seriously before.

Premiering in competition at this month’s Sundance Film Festival, in the Us Documentary section is Crime After Crime, directed by Yoav Potash, and centers on Debbie Peagler, a survivor of brutal domestic violence, who was incarcerated for her connection to the murder of her abuser – a boyfriend who beat her and forced her into prostitution. His name was Oliver Wilson, and they met in the late 1970′s, when she was just 15 years old.
Fearing for her life, Debbie did Wilson’s bidding for years. She tried to escape, but each time was forced back with violence and death threats. Wilson even sexually assaulted her then six-year-old daughter.
Desperate, Debbie eventually turned to two male acquaintances who then murdered Wilson.
In 1983 Debbie and the two men were prosecuted; she was charged with first-degree murder. During the trial, her public defender reportedly didn’t even bother to present any evidence of...
