During negotiations between the two clubs, Nantes had reportedly been keen for Sala to feature for them one last time against Angers, but it was Cardiff who eventually got their way and the Argentine striker’s club-record move to the Welsh capital was confirmed on the eve of that match. It was a story typical of the January transfer window – a buying club tenaciously chasing mid-season reinforcements but facing stubbornness from a selling club determined not to be left in the lurch by the loss of one of their key players....

For instance, you can pair pink and red roses on a straw hat. You can look into fresh and fake flowers for your hat—just keep in mind that fresh flowers won’t last very long. If you use fresh flowers, you’ll have to replace them pretty frequently.

Olympic fencer and Maplewood native, Ibtihaj Muhammad, wrote about the incident on Facebook. The post was shared over 850 times as of Friday at noon. Muhammad, who is the first American Muslim woman to wear a hijab while competing at the Olympic Games, wrote that Tamar Herman, a teacher at Seth Boyden Elementary, removed the student’s hijab on Wednesday despite the child’s resistance. Herman ultimately exposed the young girl’s hair to the class and reportedly told her that “her hair was beautiful and she did not have to wear a hijab to school anymore....

It's time for me to stop defending Texans' quarterback Matt Schaub and Bengals' signal caller Andy Dalton as vociferously as I have. It's also time for everyone to realize that Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Giants' triggerman Eli Manning have plenty of culpability in their teams' 0-4 starts. Neither is beyond reproach this season just because they've won two Super Bowls during their careers. Let's start with Schaub and Dalton since they are in similar situations....

Warren, 70, has surged in the polls since the September debate while supporters of Sanders, 78, are wondering if he can keep up his rigorous campaigning for the Democratic nomination following a heart attack earlier this month. The concerns could shape Tuesday’s Democratic debate into a last stand of sorts for Sanders before the Democratic primary for president becomes a two-horse race where recent polling suggests Warren will face former Vice President Joe Biden....

The Democratic 2020 primary candidate, who has taken a lead in recent polls, told The Hill “everything is on the table” should she become the next president and Israel continues building settlements in the West Bank. Israel is due to receive $38 billion in military funding from the United States under the terms of a 10 year agreement rolling to 2028. The funding pot includes $33 billion of foreign military financing and $5 billion in missile defence appropriations, according to the Congressional Research Service, which says Israel has been the “largest cumulative recipient” of U....

Chappelle performed at a special Punchline Comedy Club event on December 11 in San Francisco, where he invited the Tesla CEO on to the stage. Apparently the majority of the crowd at the Chase Center was less than impressed to see Musk—who controversially bought Twitter for $44 billion in October and then fired thousands of its staff—on stage and started booing him. One Twitter user shared a video of the moment Chappelle introduced Musk, who seemed to be met with a mix of boos and cheers....

In a series of tweets on Monday, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO responded to clips of Trump attacking the entrepreneur at a rally in Anchorage, Alaska on Saturday. The former president mocked Musk at the rally following reports that he had pulled out of his attempts to take over Twitter in a deal worth $44 billion. “Elon is not going to buy Twitter. Where did you hear that before? From me,” Trump said, adding, “He’s got himself a mess....

Financial Times reported Friday that a Ukrainian government official said that recent outages from the Starlink internet systems had caused “catastrophic” loss of communication for troops on the front lines in Ukraine’s war with Russia, resulting in “panicked calls” from some soldiers to helpline numbers. Ukrainian officials said connectivity issues started when Ukrainian soldiers liberated territory that was once Russian-controlled and moved past the front lines, according to the report....

Grimes and Musk welcomed their son on May 4th and later revealed that his name is X Æ A-12. Some initially took this to be one of Musk’s usual jokes, but neither Grimes nor the Tesla founder have said otherwise. RELATED: Tom Cruise Working With Elon Musk on Movie in Space As one might expect, it wasn’t long before people started making memes about the name choice. There were questions about how to pronounce his name, what it means, and even some doubts about whether he is human (kidding, of course)....

A survey conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies on behalf of Newsweek revealed that one-third (33 percent) of eligible voters in the United States agreed with the proposals put out by the SpaceX and Tesla CEO on Twitter on October 3. However, just under a quarter (24 percent) of those taking part in the survey said they do not think the ideas suggested by Musk, which were heavily criticized by Ukrainian officials, are achievable....

However, it appears Musk’s principled stand against censorship has its limits. As the Chinese government has sought to suppress protests against its “zero COVID” policies in recent weeks, Musk—who regularly uses his platform to engage with critics and offer commentary on issues of the day—has remained noticeably silent on the country’s practices of jailing protestors and limiting free speech even further than it has traditionally. A Newsweek review of Musk’s tweets including the words “China,” “Chinese,” “Protests” or “Censorship” featured no tweets critical of the nation’s communist regime but, rather, praise for the employees of his business interests in the country....

“I’m sending a giant statue of the digit ‘2’ to Jeffrey B., along with a silver medal,” Musk told Forbes in an email. Forbes reported Musk regained his spot on top of its list of the richest people in the world on Monday. While doing so, he also became the third person to ever be worth $200 billion. The two billionaires have swapped places for the title of the world’s wealthiest person for months as their stocks have fluctuated....

Musk, who bought Twitter for $44 billion last month, said Apple has halted most of its advertising on the social media site. He also accused the company of threatening to remove Twitter from its app store. “Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America? What’s going on here @tim_cook?” Musk tweeted on Monday, adding in a separate tweet: “Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why....

Navarrete made his pro debut in 2012. He won the WBO junior-featherweight title from Isaac Dogboe in 2018 and defended it five times. Moving to the featherweight division, he beat Ruben Villa in 2020 for the WBO featherweight title. Defending the belt twice, Navarrete last fought in October, beating Joet Gonzalez via unanimous decision. Baez made his pro debut in 2013. He is 2-1 in his last three fights. In March, Baez beat Jose Enrique Durantes Vivas via majority decision....

When two groups of scientists independently reported that they had caused adult human cells to regress to a state that seemed indistinguishable from embryonic stem cells, it seemed the long and bitter battle over stem cells might be history. Rather than needing days-old human embryos to supply “pluripotent” stem cells—so-called because the cells have the ability to develop into any of the 200-plus kinds that humans have, from liver and neuronal to skin and muscle—scientists could simply take a skin cell, insert four turn-back-the-calendar genes, and presto: embryonic-like stem cells....

Five years ago, EA formed what is now called its competitive gaming entertainment unit to oversee the company’s esports extensions of its best-selling games. Since then, the unit assessed how it could bring competition to both players who wanted to play EA’s game competitively and people who wanted to view such competitions. RELATED: Halo TV Series Back to Filming As a result, the division expanded its output to include new forms of entertainment based on competition, including television shows....

Speaking to investors during the Electronic Arts Q3 2017 financials discussion today, EA CEO Andrew Wilson plainly stated that the publisher is “not presently making Skate 4”, dashing down the rumors which had sprung up over the last two days. It’s clear that many fans have been excited about the potential of a series comeback, as Lingen’s original tweet has now amassed over 25,000 likes and almost 15,000 retweets....

Citing franchises like Batman and Grand Theft Auto as inspirations for his goal, the Swedish executive would like to see Electronic Arts invest in similar Triple-A, big-budget productions that will garner huge sales. According to Söderlund, this plan has already been put into action within certain EA studios, though those games are being kept under wraps for now. The revelation of EA’s potential new market focus comes after Söderlund reflected on the large hits that business rivals Ubisoft and Take Two have created over the recent years, with each Triple A game either starting or continuing a series of games which have delivered plenty of action and product value....
