The 76ers led by 21 points in the third quarter against the Hornets at Wells Fargo Center on Friday, but Kemba Walker helped close the gap and forced an additional period. Embiid, who finished the match with a season-high 42 points and 18 rebounds, hit a game-tying three-pointer with 34.4 seconds left in the fourth quarter and was 14 from 16 from the free throw line across the last period and overtime to keep Charlotte at bay....
Winger Di Maria opened the scoring inside 15 minutes at Parc des Princes, only to hobble off with an apparent hamstring problem. However, Emery — whose side capped off the win with Jese Rodriguez’s 90th-minute penalty — believes Di Maria, who played in both of Argentina’s international fixtures last week, will be able to feature at Emirates Stadium. “Angel, his exit was a precaution. I hope he will be fine for Wednesday’s game,” head coach Emery said....
In a study published in the journal International Journal of Biometeorology, the scientists say they have found a link between atmospheric electric fields and electrical activity seen in many different living creatures on our planet. “We show that the electrical activity in many living organisms—from zooplankton in the oceans to sharks and even in our brains—is very similar to the electrical fields we measure and study in the atmosphere from global lightning activity,” Colin Price, lead author of the study from the Porter School of the Environment and Earth Sciences at Tel Aviv University, Israel, said in a statement....

The key planks of Warren’s primary campaign include free universal health care, cancellation of student debt, free public college and a two percent tax on income over $50 million, among other progressive policies. The group Justice Democrats, which also has strong ties to another Democrat contender running on a similar platform, Bernie Sanders, hopes such policies will be successful in “energizing and delivering” to the Democrat base, The New York Times reported....
There was a notable omission from USA’s starting XI when it was revealed prior to kick-off, Rapinoe only among the substitutes despite scoring braces in back-to-back games to fire the defending champions to the last four. Curiously, there was no explanation for the outspoken Rapinoe’s absence, though the fact she only watched on during the pre-match warm-up suggested something was amiss. Ellis’ team did not miss their star forward too much, though, Rapinoe’s replacement Christen Press scoring the first goal and Alex Morgan the winner as England, who had levelled through Ellen White in the first half, were beaten 2-1 in Lyon....
But he wrote on Twitter that based on current trends — citing a sharp drop in China’s infection rates — that new cases of the disease that is spreading around the world, COVID-19, will be “probably close to zero” in the U.S. by the end of April, meaning the current ventilator shortage may not last long. “We’re working on ventilators, even though I think there will not be a shortage by the time we can make enough to matter,” the billionaire wrote....
“Was up all night with SpaceX team working on Starship tank dome production (most difficult part of primary structure),” Musk tweeted. “Dawn arrives….” “Still going,” Musk can be heard to say as the video shows workers putting together the shiny dome at the construction site in Boca Chica, Texas. SpaceX is also building spacecraft in Cocoa, Florida. Progress is being made on the Starship despite recent setbacks, such as the top of the Starship exploding during a November cryogenics test in Texas....
The chief executive of electric car company Tesla was initially reacting to a meeting Biden had with others, including from carmakers Ford and GM, at the White House on Wednesday to discuss the proposed $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act. Biden’s official Twitter account posted a tweet with a video from the meeting and made reference to the production of electrical vehicles in the U.S., leading Musk to reply....
The deposition begins on Monday and will last until at least Tuesday, possibly Wednesday, the Associated Press reports. It comes ahead of Musk’s trial, which is scheduled to start in Delaware on October 17 and will ultimately settle whether he has to carry on with the Twitter deal or not. As of late Sunday, it remained unclear whether the Tesla CEO would face Twitter’s lawyers in person or via video....
Put Ravens linebacker Elvis Dumervil in the latter category. Heading into the 2015 season, the four-time Pro Bowler has a note in his locker, bearing a single number: 23.

The current system provides little enticement for a player to sign, even if there have been players like Stephen Drew and Kendrys Morales who fell threw the cracks. In November, why wouldn’t they be optimistic about their market? The first change that I would make, then, would be to add layers to the qualifying offer, with multiple years being an option. For a one-year offer, a signing team would not sacrifice a first-round pick, but the original team would still get its compensatory pick....
Macron described the detention of the transitional leaders as a coup d’etat and on Wednesday warned of repercussions, including targeted sanctions. Gabriel Attal, a French government spokesman said, “We were very clear with the junta: the transition must include civilians. It must be peaceful, it must be inclusive and it must be limited in time. What has happened with what amount to a coup d’etat within the coup d’etat constitutes for us a rupture of confidence....
The former NXT Women’s Champion and other superstars that were released were informed beforehand by WWE’s head of talent relations, John Laurinaitis, via email. The reason for the release was the same as it has always been since back in April 2020. Reports from Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter state that Ember Moon has been given a 90-day non-compete clause instead of a 30-day one. This is because even though she was brought back to WWE NXT as a performer there, her contract deal was a main roster one....

Romania’s population of 19 million has one of the highest death rates in all of Europe, the AP reported. The country’s vaccination rates are also far lower than the European Union’s average, with 40 percent of the population fully vaccinated compared to the bloc’s average of 75 percent. The low vaccination rates reflect a distrust of authorities and institutions among Romanians, as well as anti-vaccination movements and educational disparities. The uptick in hospitalizations and deaths has frustrated overwhelmed doctors who decry the population’s resistance to getting immunized....
Despite being one of Arsenal’s captains, Ozil has only started 13 Premier League matches this term and does not appear to be in Emery’s preferred line-up. Suarez joined on loan from Barcelona on Thursday, the midfielder returning to the Premier League after spending two years at Manchester City from 2011. With Arsenal travelling to City in the Premier League on Sunday, the 25-year-old could make his Gunners debut against the reigning champions....
Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and Neymar were all on the scoresheet, with Angel Di Maria adding a late fourth, but PSG – even as they won a third consecutive European game, making it 12 goals scored and none conceded – did not have everything their own way. Anderlecht threatened repeatedly in the first half and also hit the crossbar late on, with Emery now looking to tweak his side to avoid further scares....
