The tournament includes 20 competitors who are split into two, 10-man blocks — an “A” block and a “B” block....
During a G-20 summit, the EU announced it would pledge a support package worth 1 billion euros targeted at the Afghan population only and neighboring countries, which have been the first to provide aid. The United Nations has warned Afghanistan’s economy is on the brink of collapse, as international aid has been largely frozen following the Taliban’s takeover. G-20 members urged for Afghanistan’s new government to allow humanitarian aid into the country....
Gabapentin is prescribed for controlling partial seizures in people with epilepsy. It is not a cure for the condition, but it can reduce the number of seizures for as long as it is taken. Gabapentin has also been prescribed off-label for treating conditions such as anxiety, fibromyalgia, and migraines. While gabapentin is generally not prescribed to treat arthritis, research has found it to help manage the effects of severe knee osteoarthritis (OA)....
In the statement, Petito’s family criticized Laundrie for leaving her “in the wilderness with grizzly bears and wolves while he sits in the comfort of his home. In his home!” “Brian, how could you do this to Gabby? You selfishly remain silent while Gabby is all alone in the wilderness,” the statement, released by the family’s attorney, Richard Stafford, read. “Brian, your silence is reprehensible! We beg you to do the right thing and help us bring Gabby home....
The letter was read aloud by the family’s attorney, Richard Stafford, during a press conference in New York on Thursday afternoon. Stafford told reporters that the family is “devastated” as the search for their daughter continues. “We ask you to put yourselves in our shoes,” the letter read. “We haven’t been able to sleep or eat and our lives are falling apart.” Petito, a 22-year-old YouTuber, was traveling the country with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, when she disappeared....
Lara Yeretsian, a Los Angeles-based criminal defense attorney, told Fox News that she believes it is only a matter of time before Brian Laundrie is questioned by police after he returned home to North Port, Florida, earlier this month without Petito and is refusing to talk to authorities. Petito and Laundrie had embarked on a cross-country trip in June which saw them visit several states in a van. Earlier this week, police in Moab, Utah, released bodycam footage of the couple from August 12 as an officer responded to an altercation between the pair....
Torres suffers horrific head injury after collision in Atletico Madrid draw The 32-year-old was at the centre of a frightening scene at the end of his side’s 1-1 draw with Deportivo when he was knocked unconscious following a collision with an opposition defender. Torres went limp in the air and subsequently landed face-first on the turf, with his head taking much of the blow in a sickening landing that saw him smash into the ground with considerable force....
The new research presents the clearest evidence yet that the extreme environments in space have a detrimental effect on the gas content of galaxies within them, helping to curtail star formation. Astrophysicists define the cessation of star formation as a galaxy “dying.” Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope, the researchers studied gas reservoirs in 51 galaxies from the thousands located within the Virgo cluster, 65 million light-years from Earth....
Fallout was swift. After community leaders such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, Jr., and even genial Al Roker called for his dismissal, Imus apologized and promised to change the character of his show. MSNBC and CBS announced they would suspend him from his television and radio programs for two weeks. Major advertisers–Proctor and Gamble and Staples–began pulling ads from his show. Where this will all lead for Imus, 66, remains to be seen, but perhaps sifting through the tea leaves of past talk show host scandals can provide some clues: “shock jocks” Howard Stern and Bubba the Love Sponge Clem’s stations were each slapped with some of the largest fines in the Federal Communications Commission’s history for content “designed to pander to, titillate and shock listeners....
Antonio Conte is on the verge of winning the Premier League with Chelsea in his first season. A victory at home to Crystal Palace in their next game will move them one step closer to the title. The Italian coach has impressed many with his management style and tactical acumen that has re-invigorated a squad that was failing under Jose Mourinho. Last season Diego Costa was a shadow of the player that lit up the league in his debut season, but under Conte the 28 year old has found his form....
Barcelona will travel to Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday full of confidence after their miraculous victory in the Champions League.

Last season Luis Suarez scored four goals as Barcelona won 8-0 at the Estadio Riazor. Suarez has 20 goals in 24 appearance in the League, and scored nine goals away from home in all competitions this season....
Few are as qualified to talk about the current state of the national team as the former Pumas and Club America midfielder, but, like many Mexico fans, he is at a loss to explain why Carlos Vela has distanced himself from El Tri. “I can’t understand it because for me the greatest thing for a player is to represent their country in a World Cup, in qualifiers, in whatever,” the analyst for Fox Deportes on the new studio show Debate Final and on La Ultima Palabra told Goal over the phone recently....
The destruction of La Masia The attacker announced on St David’s Day, the patron saint of Wales, that a long-term ambition of his will be realised when his Elevens Bar & Grill opens in the nation’s capital. Named after his shirt number and carrying his trademark symbol, Bale hopes to open the new business in late spring or early summer 2017, and he is said to have been heavily involved in the preparations, having helped put drinks menus together and tasted the food that will be served....

After he finished singing on the inauguration stage, Brooks first shook hands with Biden, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris and former Vice President Mike Pence. Someone filming their TV screen also captured Brooks embracing Obama in the background, and shared the clip on social media.

“Obviously whenever a player is involved in something like Patrick Kane is subject to right now in terms of the authorities investigating and looking, it’s unfortunate,” Bettman said Wednesday, via The Buffalo News. “It’s a terrible thing but we’re going to have to watch the process play out and at the appropriate time we’ll make whatever decisions have to be made at the time.” MORE: Patrick Kane’s career | Top active goal scorers...
Thanks to Gary Bettman’s shoes on Monday, though, the LA Kings deviated from the plan. His shoes, you see, were bad. This is from Marian Gaborik: And Drew Doughty dropped the hammer: A photo posted by mgaborik12 (@mgaborik12) on Feb 2, 2015 at 11:59am PST Players hate escrow, man. Cliffs Notes: every player has a portion of his salary deducted throughout the season and placed into an escrow account. Once the final accounting for a year is completed, which ensures the correct percentage of hockey-related revenue was paid out in salaries, players are refunded accordingly....
Gary Player, speaking to BBC Radio 5Live, blasted the breakout tour. He also claimed it would never measure up to the PGA Tour, as he took particular aim at its three-round, team-based format. Player, who has 28 combined wins on the PGA and European tours — and nine major victories, including at least one in each of the four majors — characterized the tour as a place for people unsure of their future in the sport....
