Norway are on the cusp of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup after thrashing Israel 5-0 on Saturday thanks to an Erling Haaland hat-trick. Denied by Israel goalkeeper Daniel Peretz twice from the penalty spot early on after the referee ordered a retake of his initial effort, Haaland doubled Norway’s lead with a right-footed finish after Anan Khalaili’s own goal had given the hosts the lead. Another own goal, this time from Idan Nachmias, made it 3-0 as Peretz’s clearance rebounded off the defender and into the net. Haaland then made history with a pair of headers to complete his…
Luka Doncic said he doesn’t feel compelled to do more while LeBron James recovers from sciatica, emphasizing a team-first approach as the Los Angeles Lakers navigate the veteran forward’s expected three-to-four week absence.

The usual reference (correction per Ben Zipperer) period for counting employment, either in the CES or the CPS, is in the week including the 12th of the month — that is, this week; the week for interviewing is the week including the 19th (correction).

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — In a close New Jersey gubernatorial race, Democratic U.S. Rep.
