Having been brought into the Gunners side for the final weeks of his reign by Arsene Wenger, the Greek youngster has impressed during his limited outings to date. He was, however, to pick up an early dismissal in a 3-1 defeat at Leicester, with Arsenal struggling once again on their travels when reduced to 10 men. Mavropanos will now be forced to wait until 2018-19 for his next appearance, as he starts an untimely ban, by which time the Gunners will have a new manager at the helm and potentially more defensive competition alongside him....

So far, Mexico manager Juan Carlos Osorio has gotten it all right. His game plan against Germany worked. His game plan against South Korea worked. Other than some inefficient substitutions in the second match and a late goal for the Asian side that could come back to haunt El Tri, it’s all gone according to plan. It really has all gone better than planned. Yet, the manager went to bed Tuesday knowing his work wasn’t done....

The Rose Bowl’s place in history is not lost yet. It’s where bowl games originated in 1902. It’s where the BCS ended when Florida State beat Auburn 34-31 last year. It’s fitting it’s the site of the first College Football Playoff semifinal between the Seminoles and Oregon. Rose Bowl Stadium won’t be host to another playoff semifinal until January 2018. It’s as if “The Grandaddy of Them All” is being asked to start looking at a retirement plan....

“Oh, hell yes!” he practically shouted, standing in the hallway outside the visitor’s clubhouse at Busch Stadium, surrounded by Mets beat writers. “I’ve still got it. You used to have to oil it after every game. It pretty much rotted out and we had to redo. We had a leather store in town, and the guy would restring it and re-whatever.” Seems Showalter did indeed remember his first baseball glove, the one his dad picked out for him, the one with Mickey Mantle’s signature right there in the pocket....

It is for this reason that diagnosis is imperative for pregnant people who may have been exposed to the Zika virus through a mosquito bite. Moreover, because the virus can be passed from males to females during sex, the test—comprised of a combination of blood and urine tests—can identify an infected partner and possibly prevent transmission. Indications for Testing Getting bitten by a mosquito, even in an area where the Zika virus is endemic, does not necessarily mean that you have been infected....

Smith’s day started off well enough. He hit the game’s first bucket on a reverse layup after sealing off Kansas center Joel Embiid. The next trip down the court, Smith posted up Embiid again, this time hitting a cutting Nate Lubick for a running layup. Two possessions later, Smith hit another layup. But as followers of college basketball have seen from Smith all too often throughout his college career, sustaining a high level of production remains a challenge for the UCLA transfer....

The October study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, found that women who are vaccinated against HPV have a much lower risk of developing cervical cancer than those who are not vaccinated. The research also determined that the effect is even greater for women who are vaccinated at a young age. For the study, researchers followed nearly 1.7 million women between the ages of 10 and 30 for 11 years....

District Judge Amos Mazzant dismissed the suit, filed in response to the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which banned technology from Huawei and fellow Chinese telecommunications firm ZTE from being bought or used by federal agencies. “Huawei is disappointed in today’s ruling and while we understand the paramount significance of national security, the approach taken by the U.S. government in the 2019 NDAA provides a false sense of protection while undermining Huawei’s constitutional rights,” said a Huawei spokesperson in a statement....

After the website’s acquisition by BuzzFeed was finalized last month, BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti announced a restructuring effort that aims to “fast-track” HuffPost’s “path to profitability,” according to a HuffPost report. Peretti reportedly told staff the website’s losses amounted to approximately $20 million in 2020. This week was marred by layoffs at HuffPost. Peretti said the employment of 47 U.S. staff would be affected, including eight in management. HuffPost Canada and HuffPost Quebec were shut down altogether on Tuesday, leaving 23 employees without work....

The video follows Nick Evans, a South Africa-based snake catcher, as he travels to two locations in the country to remove snakes from peoples’ properties.

The woman, an employee of Madrid Zoo Aquarium, was rushed to San Carlos Clinical Hospital after colleagues entered the enclosure and stopped the attack by letting off fire extinguishers, before experts anesthetized the gorilla with a tranquilizer dart. A zoo spokesperson, María José Luis, told news agency EFE the gorilla pounced on the keeper after it was surprised while preparing to eat breakfast, El Mundo reported. “He shook her but without using all the enormous strength of which he is capable with his 200 kilos of weight,” Luis said, detailing the 10:30 a....

Witnesses called police after the distressed and injured woman was spotted standing on Dr. Van Ave in Flomaton, Alabama, back in November. However, when deputies arrived on the scene the woman was picked up and taken by a man driving a white car. Concerned for the woman’s welfare and believing the injuries could be serious, an investigation was launched by the Flomaton Police Department, according to a statement issued by the force on Tuesday....

For a study published in the journal Nature Communications, a team from Texas A&M University and Nanjing University, China, has shown that for the entire Pleistocene era (2.58 million to 11,700 years ago)—during which the majority of evolution in our group of species, Homo, took place—the concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere averaged about 250 parts per million. This stands in stark contrast to concentrations of the greenhouse gas today measured in the atmosphere today, which in May this year were measured at highs of nearly 415 parts per million at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Mauna Loa Atmospheric Baseline Observatory in Hawaii....

For that reason, he probably never got the credit he deserved. He will bring the curtain down on his career this summer having won every major honour in football, yet there are those that do not consider him one of the game’s greatest playmakers. Xabi Alonso announces retirement But then, there have always been doubters. From Real Madrid, who were unsure if Alonso was really worth the €16 million asking price Real Socieded placed upon him in the summer of 2004, to the man who lured him to Liverpool, Rafael Benitez....

The president said that while the CIA and the National Security Agency (NSA) had both collected faulty intelligence in the past, “there is simply too much misinformation out there for those two agencies to handle.” Bush said that he hoped that the Department of Faulty Intelligence would not only increase the United States’ capacity to collect false leads and red herrings, but that it would also help coordinate the sharing of useless information among the government’s various spy agencies....

The Bruins' defense did more than its share, as well, intercepting six of Utah quarterback Travis Wilson's passes, including on the last drive after Wilson led the Utes to the UCLA 23 with less than a minute left. — Week 6 in photos | Playoff panel names revealed | Huskies’ mission Hundley, who went 17 for 27 for 211 yards, also had an interception, throwing an ill-advised pass into the flat that Keith McGill picked off and returned 19 yards for a touchdown to tie it at 24 with 13:23 left....

BISD announced shortly after the altercation that no students or staff were injured, but that’s not always the case. Reports show that on average, more than 320 people are killed each year in high-speed police pursuits, and 27 percent of those killed are innocent bystanders. Since 1979, more than 5,000 bystanders have been killed during police pursuits in the U.S., according to HG.org, one of the world’s largest legal resource sites, which cited a study that said police pursuits are the most dangerous activities in law enforcement....

Dan Skowronski, a local resident in Port St. Lucie—a city on the Atlantic coast in the south of the state—captured footage of the invasion and posted it on social media. The video shows numerous crabs crawling around his yard and home while Skowronski describes what he is seeing. “The invasion of land crabs,” he says in the video. “They must have got rained out of their holes. And they’re everywhere....
