Margaret Thatcher barely concealed her distaste for sports while serving as prime minister of Britain. Instead, she tried to use the athletic arena as a political weapon of sorts during the Cold War, and even took on the football establishment as violence at matches damaged the nation's image.

So divisive was Thatcher's 11-year rule of Britain that her death at the age of 87 on Monday produced no tributes from the country's major sporting institutions. The Premier League even told football clubs that they would not have to hold a minute's silence in honor of the late British leader.

U.S. Navy sailors aboard a supply vessel acted within rules of engagement last year when they fired on a small boat approaching at high speed off Dubai, killing one Indian fisherman and wounding three others, according to a Navy investigation made public Monday.

The July 2012 incident has been described by Navy officials as "regrettable," but it also highlighted the heightened security to protect vessels following boat-borne blasts such as the 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen that killed 17 U.S. sailors and the 2004 explosion of a dhow in Persian Gulf that killed three crew members of the USS Firebolt.

The study was published online Sunday in the journal Nature.

The New York Knicks earned their 12th straight win Sunday as Carmelo Anthony had 36 points and 12 rebounds, J.R. Smith hit a pair of shot-clock beaters in the final 2 minutes of a 125-120 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Smith connected on a 23-foot jump shot from the right wing as the 24-second clock expired to put New York up 117-113 with 1:30 to play, then swished a 3-pointer from beyond the 3-point line with 56.8 seconds left that all but sealed New York's 50th win of the season.

Barcelona hopes to recover Lionel Messi from injury by Wednesday with its Champions League quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain poised 2-2, but Cesc Fabregas' first career hat trick over the weekend showed they have a Plan B just in case.

If Messi can't heal a right hamstring he pulled during the last week's first leg in Paris, Barcelona may opt to use Fabregas in the position of "false nine" that has proven to be successful with the Spanish national team.

Manchester United has sold the naming rights to its training ground as part of a sponsorship deal with insurance firm Aon estimated to be worth $230 million, a further sign of the Premier League leader's off-field money-making abilities.
