Bale has been on the periphery of proceedings at Real for some time - he had a spell back on loan at Tottenham Hotspur last season - and it will be intriguing to see where he heads next. “Now he [Bale] is healthy, and he wants to finish [well],” Ancelotti said in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Champions League match between Real Madrid and PSG. “He deserves that because for this club, Bale has won many titles....

Zidane revealed Madrid is working on selling Bale after omitting the four-time Champions League winner from the squad that lost to Bayern Munich in the International Champions Cup on Saturday. “We hope he leaves soon, it would be best for everyone,” Madrid’s head coach said. The comments have not gone down well with the Bale camp. Bale has never shown much interest in leaving Madrid and still has three seasons left to run on his contract....

Richards is recovering from October knee surgery, and is expected to start pitcher fielding drills next week. The Angels were hopeful their young star would be ready for the start of the season, but Scioscia conceded he’s likely going to start the season on the disabled list. “It’s not going to be Opening Day, let’s put it that way,” Scioscia said Sunday. “He knows it, and it’s great that he’s not going to be able to rush it because our medical staff’s not going to let him....

This was Brooks’s way of explaining the song “We Shall Be Free,” which leads off his new album, “The Chase,” and includes a vote of support for same-sex couples. Born and raised in Yukon, Okla., Brooks speaks in a soft, unassuming manner, sharp yet disarmingly humble. He’ll call you sir as casually as he’ll say hello. He wrote the song, he said, after the riots in Los Angeles, to address a wide range of injustice....

PKNS FC announced the appointment of Sven Gartung to replace E. Elavarasan as the head coach of the Super League club and his immediate task would be to ensure that the club stay in the top division for the 2018 season. The 47-year-old German was previously the Selangor Sports State Council Coaching Director as well as being in charge of the team when they played in the 2017 Sultan Selangor Cup earlier in the season....

Florida citizens have seen a gas price drop of 20 cents in 9 days, according to a WESH report. This fall in price comes after a spike to $4.378 per gallon on March 11. As of March 21, Florida residents are paying $4.167. The national average gas price in America had risen sharply since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 and sparked debates regarding energy self-sufficiency. The AAA reflected on this price drop and issued a press release on Sunday highlighting the potential reasons for it....

1-Check the Newsweek review of my book. 2-Speak to some of the people on Wall Street who would tell you I spoke to dozens of people from Dick Grasso to Ken Langone to Spitzer himself. 3-Check the end notes; they will point you to numerous sources including documents and depositions 4-Read the book. (I bet he hasn’t.) 5-And then check with his colleague Susanna Schrobsdorff of Newsweek who in the spirit of hype, asked me if I was interested in writing a column about Spitzer for Newsweek....

With three weeks to go before Halloween, the community aims to mount 4,000 scarecrows in a display that would break the current record—set by the United Kingdom’s National Forest Adventure Farm, which assembled 3,812 scarecrows in August 2014, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. “A couple of years ago, we expanded our fall decorations to include these really cute scarecrows,” Marci Claude, public relations manager for Gatlinburg, explained to WATE-TV on Wednesday....

“This Republican recall threatens our values and seeks to undo the important progress we’ve made – from fighting COVID, to helping struggling families, protecting our environment, and passing commonsense gun violence solutions,” Newsom wrote in a tweet. “There’s too much at stake.” Newsom’s tweet also included a video criticizing the recall effort and those who created it. “Who’s behind the partisan recall of Governor Gavin Newsom? Anti-vaccine and QAnon extremists, violent white supremacists like the Proud Boys who attacked out nation’s Capitol on January 6,” a narrator of the video says....

Her husband, Mohammad Dahman, moved to Norway six months ago. He says he’s never coming back to Gaza. Both Dahmans had been raised in Gaza’s refugee camps, alongside roughly 1 million other Palestinians. After college, where Mohammad studied business management, he took a job as a trade-union leader and human-rights activist. His $700-per-month salary let the couple and their five children eventually move to a red-roofed condo with a balcony overlooking the sea....

I love giving and receiving gifts, and I do not consider holiday gift-giving to be a coerced, materialistic surrender. I don’t know from whence the Grinchy view emerged that there is something wrong with holiday gift-giving, but it has surely taken root and placed an unnecessary burden of guilt on those whose only sin is a generosity of spirit and an urge to give gifts to family and friends, clients and customers, teachers and trainers, delivery people and postal people, service folk and sanitation engineers....

It’s almost hackneyed by now to refer to Generation X as nihilistic and self-indulgent. But in some ways it is this jaded Gen-X cynicism and its consequences that “Standard Deviations” is really about. Even thousands of miles away from Western club scenes, a pretentious and cliquish ethos prevails. Greenfeld and his cronies endlessly sort people into categories of “cool” and “uncool.” To the reader, the travelers all come across as vacuous, materialistic and utterly uninterested in the cultures around them....

The 27-year-old model has been documenting her experiences with her condition in a series of social media posts since revealing her illness in March. Earlier this week, the social media star took to TikTok, where she has more than 680,000 followers, to answer questions on how her health journey has affected her ability to conceive a child in the future. “So, a lot of you have been asking me can I still have kids,” Tew started the video, which can be viewed at the top of this article....

The Internet has without doubt changed things for working women–in many ways, at least temporarily, for the worse. Until a few months ago, I worked at a European Internet start-up. I originally took the job because I liked the idea of working with open-minded, entrepreneurial types who were creating new business paradigms. Almost immediately, however, I was confronted with a harsh reality of Europe’s New Economy: many start-ups were filled with people from the Old Economy, namely investment bankers and management consultants....

Its newest G90 sedan has Rolls-Royce-like styling and its crossovers continue to impress (the GV70 was a finalist for World Car of the Year). On Wednesday the brand introduced the Genesis X Speedium Coupe, which showcases aspects of its forthcoming electric vehicles. Designer Luc Donckerwolke, just off his World Car Person of the Year award, penned the concept, saying it follows the company’s Athletic Elegance language, but in a more futuristic way....

About Zoonotic Diseases Zoonotic diseases—those that jump from animals to humans—are not uncommon phenomena, with increasing genetic evidence suggesting that even measles, smallpox, and diphtheria may be a result of cross-species infection. Salmonellosis, a bacterial infection that can progress to an AIDS-defining condition, is a prime example, most often the result of ingesting contaminated meat, eggs, or dairy products. According to the natural transfer theory (also known as the bushmeat theory), a number of blood-borne zoonotic diseases are believed to have been passed to humans when a hunter or bushmeat vendor is bitten or cut with hunting or butcher the meat of a simian like the red-capped mangabey....

“It’s like a piece of me slipped away … I call it the greatest piece,” Foreman, 67, said in an interview with Omnisport. Ali, the three-time world heavyweight champion, died Friday at age 74 after more than three decades battling Parkinson’s disease. MORE: Ranking Ali’s 10 best fights Foreman knew him better than most after their historic “Rumble in the Jungle” in 1974. Regarded as one of Ali’s most famous and culturally influential fights, he overcame a previously undefeated world heavyweight champion Foreman by a knockout before the end of the eighth round in Kinshasa, Zaire (now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo)....

That’s my takeaway from the news this week that Congressman-elect George Santos, the son of Brazilian immigrants and the first openly gay non-incumbent GOP candidate to win a House seat, lied about key parts of his resumé. Santos told voters he’d graduated from Baruch College and worked for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, fibs a New York Times investigation exposed, along with a history of eviction and debt. As Santos told The New York Post this week, “My sins here are embellishing my résumé....

Georgetown's most recent blown lead came Saturday at home vs. Seton Hall. The Hoyas held a nine-point halftime advantage but were blitzed 41-22 in the final 20 minutes to fall 67-57. ROAD TRIP: SN’s Ryan Fagan’s 4-games-in-one-day excursion Just three days earlier, the Hoyas lost a 17-point second half lead at Xavier, when they went through a stretch in which they didn't even score in the final six-plus minutes. What's wrong?...
