If the U.S. presidential campaign were about policy instead of personalities, then your resignation, Fidel, might be just the thing to start a serious debate about the future of democracy in Cuba and indeed in much of the rest of the world. What can the United States do to help spread both freedom and stability? What should it do? Are boycotts and isolation the answer? You have withstood them for almost half a century....
Torres was on Mexico’s 40-man provisional roster for the tournament, which will see El Tri bring an alternate side after their top group took part in June’s Confederations Cup, but has been called in as an injury replacement for Alan Pulido. The Chivas forward broke his arm in a 2-1 friendly win against Paraguay and is expected to be out of action for more than four months. Pulido injury a blow for El Tri...
The sign reads: “Press Box Annex. Wrigley Field. Chicago. No Women Admitted.” There’s also a date of 1945 in the upper right hand corner. In the middle of the art is a pink poodle. The Pink Poodle was the name of the Cubs’ press dining room. After Kenney posted the image to Twitter, it didn’t take long for others to call out the phrase “no women admitted” at the very bottom....

Hidden Valley and a handful of other “culture camps” serving families with children from overseas reflect the huge rise in the number of foreign adoptions, from 7,093 in 1990 to 15,774 last year. Most children come from Russia (4,491 last year) and China (4,206) but there are also thousands of others adopted annually from South America, Asia and Eastern Europe. After cutting through what can be miles of red tape, parents often come home to find a new dilemma....
Criterion’s 2014 “Going Beyond Cars” reveal showed a mix of helicopters, planes, boats, jet skis, ATVs, snowmobiles, and yes, cars, thrown together into an explorable open world. It was described as, “the biggest game Criterion’s ever made.” Whatever it was to be, however, we will never know, as the project has been abandoned. In an interview with GameSpot, EA confirmed the worst: As an example of just what “new ideas” and “experiments” Criterion is working on, it was revealed that the studio is contributing to the development of EA’s Star Wars Battlefront VR game teased during E3....
Friday’s Nations League match sees the teams face off again after Croatia booked a place in their first World Cup final by beating England 2-1 after extra time at Russia 2018. Trippier’s brilliant early free-kick had given England the lead but goals from Ivan Perisic and Mario Mandzukic – who struck in the second period of extra time - saw Zlatko Dalic’s men progress. Both teams lost their Nations League openers to Spain, England going down 2-1 at Wembley while Croatia were crushed 6-0 last month....
But a new method of irregular warfare is emerging with the potential to cleave the regime: crowdsourcing. Individuals are banding together on the internet like army ants to contribute tools and information toward a common goal. We first saw battlefield crowdsourcing during the botched U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Groups of veterans spontaneously leapt in to guide Afghans to the airport via social media, providing link-up with U.S. troops guarding the walls....
Crowe said he believed worrying about cricket, particularly the axing of his protege Ross Taylor as New Zealand captain late last year, exacerbated his lymphatic cancer, leading to a large tumour in his stomach. After five months of chemotherapy, the 50-year-old said doctors had told him his cancer had shrunk to safe levels, although there was always the possibility of a relapse. “All through my left side the lymph nodes have gone back to their normal size,” he told RadioSport....
Celebrity Cruise’s parent company, Royal Caribbean Cruises, released a press release on Wednesday to announce the 46 guests and 58 crew members aboard the cruise ship Celebrity Xpedition are safe after the vessel hit a sandbar and ran aground at Punta Vicente Roca. Punta Vicente Roca is on the northern shores of Isabela Island, the largest island in the Galapagos. According to Cruise Critic, the grounding occurred in the middle of a seven-day cruise of the Galapagos—an experience that can cost upwards of $3,000—on a ship that has been described by Forbes as “the most luxurious way to explore” the islands....
The Reds took a bonus point from a five tries to two win over the better-performed Brumbies in a match played in hot conditions which required players to take water breaks every 20 minutes. Earlier, the Christchurch-based Crusaders, playing their first match since the mosque shootings in their home city eight days prior, saw their year-long, 19-game winning streak ended in Sydney by the New South Wales Waratahs. Wallabies fullback Israel Folau sealed the Waratahs’ 20-12 win and equaled Doug Howlett’s record of 59 Super Rugby tries when he followed up on a high kick and reacted quickest to score the home team’s third try in the 73rd minute....
The box art doesn’t seem to hold that much new information (although, if you notice anything interesting, don’t hesitate to post it in the comments below!) and, to be quite honest, is a rather bland and boring piece of art. You have an ominous, dark figure in the foreground, surrounded by a dark, barren New York. Sure, that may be the premise of the title, but jazz it up a little, guys!...
Sakho joined on loan in January and impressed in eight appearances to help Palace seal Premier League safety. The centre-back missed the end of the season with a knee injury but has done enough on and off the pitch to make his temporary club push for a full transfer. Manager Sam Allardyce said in March it would be difficult to seal a deal amid reports Liverpool have set a £30million asking price, but Palace insist they will do all they can to keep him....
Such a move would galvanize publisher/developer profits; even with online passes and content locking, most companies have struggled to monetize used transactions – which mostly occur among individual consumers and retail stores. But who wants to be the first brave sole to tell the public that paying more should be the way of the future? Enter Rasmus Hojengaard, Crytek’s director of creative development. Speaking to CVG last week about Crysis 3 and the next generation of consoles, Hojengaard imparted that he favored the rumored restrictive measures:...
Both Chepauk Super Gillies and Karaikudi Kaalai have had a mixed start to the tournament after winning one and losing another match. They will look to put themselves in a strong position by winning this encounter. For the Gillies, R Alexander has covered up for his team’s batting frailties with some outstanding spin bowling. He took five wickets against the Ruby Trichy Warriors and helped his side register a 41-run victory....
But the next time Varona returns to play baseball on the Caribbean island, he could be playing for the Cuban national team once again. PHOTOS: MLB’s Cuban players | Iconic images of baseball in Cuba Cuban baseball commissioner Heriberto Suárez told Fox Sports that the Cuban baseball federation would consider welcoming back MLB defectors to play for the national team for events such as the World Baseball Classic. That means the Cuban roster could include MLB stars such as Jose Abreu, Yoenis Cespedes, Jose Fernandez and Yasiel Puig, among others....
They will both start for the National League for the second year in a row; the last Cubs player to start consecutive All-Star games was Sammy Sosa close to two decades ago, and they have not had two players in the starting lineup in back-to-back years since Andre Dawson and Ryne Sandberg in 1990 and 1991. The Cubs have not had a catcher start consecutive times since Gabby Hartnett in 1936 and 1937....
