Having moved to Chelsea over the summer, the Blues are yet to agree a fee for the player they signed at 16 years old, as they await a summer tribunal with Exeter City. The Grecians’ youngest ever player, at just 15 years, 10 months and 26 days, can credit three men in particular for his development. He played all of his 13 games under manager Paul Tisdale, while Steve Perryman, the club’s Director of Football, provided additional support....

In honor of Rezurrection, and the “Moon” map, Treyarch has released a brand new “Zombie Labs” trailer for Black Ops featuring a mix of lunar live-action footage and gameplay. So far the Black Ops map packs have been somewhat of a mixed bag, producing an overarching sense of “sameyness” as each subsequent map pack debuted. In our “First Strike” review, we praised Treyarch for delivering some especially entertaining multiplayer killing fields but by the time we reviewed “Annihiliation,” the standard, but high, $15....

Officials from the Little League World Series have responded by saying they found there was “no ill intent” by the white players’ actions after speaking with the Black child’s mother and coaches, according to a statement provided to Newsweek. The video circulating on the internet was taken from ESPN’s live broadcast of the MLB Little League Classic game between the Baltimore Orioles and Boston Red Sox. ESPN’s cameras panned to Little League players from a Davenport, Iowa, team watching the game during a break from the field....

However, the impressive design and performance of the Black Shark 5 Pro mean it’s more expensive than ever before, and more expensive than key rival Red Magic too. Has Black Shark done enough to justify a price that’s etching ever closer to flagship smartphones? Well… Design & build Gamer aesthetic, but slightly toned downNew camera bump on the rearCustomisable LED lighting on the rear The Black Shark 5 Pro, like the rest of the collection, is a gaming phone through-and-through, and that’s very much reflected in its design – though it is arguably toned down a little this time around....

Blackburn made the remarks in a video posted to Twitter on Sunday, as the Tennessee Republican prepared for Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Committee member Blackburn is among other Republicans who have said it is time to reconsider landmark court rulings with an ascendant conservative majority on the Court. In her video, Blackburn called out the Supreme Court’s 1965 Griswold v....

There hasn’t been a back-to-back Stanley Cup winner since the Red Wings in 1997 and 1998. The ‘Hawks, as they did after their 2010 title, will have plenty of offseason questions to address. It’s not impossible to repeat — Detroit lost Game 7 of the 2009 Final at home after winning it all in 2008, and Chicago lost Game 7 of its conference finals last year to the Kings — but in the salary cap era, it’s difficult....

The trade was announced after Chicago's 5-4 shootout win over Phoenix.

Versteeg had 20 goals and 24 assists in 79 regular-season games with the Blackhawks in 2009-10, then added six goals and eight assists in 22 playoff games during the team's run to the Stanley Cup....

Types of Acne Not all acne is the same. Simplistically, acne can be divided into red bumps and blackheads or whiteheads. This division is important because each type is treated differently. Blackheads and whiteheads, known medically as comedones, can be more numerous on the face and shoulders than red bumps filled with pus. Good, consistent skin hygiene can help improve this condition. Therefore, knowing more about what causes comedones and how to treat them is a step towards clearer skin....

VIENNA (Reuters) - Paralympic long jump champion Markus Rehm saw his dream of competing at the Rio Olympics fade on Friday after the IAAF said that the German had failed to prove that he does not gain an unfair advantage as a prosthesis-wearing athlete. Nicknamed “Blade Jumper”, the 2012 Paralympics gold medallist and 2014 German national long jump champion was hoping to become the second athlete with a carbon fibre prosthesis to compete at the Olympics after South Africa’s Oscar Pistorius in 2012....

They aren’t the only ones pointing the finger at biofuels for high prices—food makers like Kellogg’s are also. While biofuels are a convenient scapegoat, global food economics are a complex phenomenon. A surge in global food demand, high oil prices, uncooperative weather, currency fluctuations and biofuels all play a part in explaining the new, stratospheric world of food economics. About a third of the recent corn-price rise is “just a currency issue,” says Peter Timmer, an agricultural economist at the Center for Global Development....

As the head of the International Swimming Federation (FINA) told the Los Angeles Times, “FINA can confirm that the reason for the unusual water color observed during the Rio diving competitions is that the water tanks ran out of some of the chemicals used in the water treatment process. As a result, the pH level of the water was outside the usual range, causing the discoloration.” MORE: Michael Phelps has another medal record to break...

Now the municipal president of Cuernavaca, a city of around 330,000 located 50 miles south of Mexico City, Blanco said the accusations he paid 200,000 pesos (just more than $10,000) to have 24-year-old fair organizer Juan Manuel Garcia Bejarano killed are ridiculous and have caused him to fear for his life. Pachuca withstands CCL pressure “Yes, I’m afraid for my life, for my family, but I’m still here. I’m going strong,” he told reporters Tuesday night....
