I agree that the culture of poverty in this country has become institutionalized to an extent that is surprising to me and many others. Poverty has been with us since the beginning of time, and in many cultures there is a permanent underclass with all the problems that that suggests. It is contrary to the American ethos and history of progress that we would see that developing and becoming institutionalized in our country....
Le Parisiens 17/4 favs to win CL The Ligue 1 side had thrashed Celtic 5-0 and comfortably beaten giants Bayern Munich in their previous Group B games, before Anderlecht became the latest team to suffer at the hands of Mbappe, Neymar and Edinson Cavani.

Pep Guardiola’s side enjoyed a 12-point lead over the Merseyside-based club at one point in January. However, the Reds are now just six points behind the Premier League table-toppers with a game in hand. Many expected Manchester City to extend their lead over Liverpool after the turn of the year, with Salah and Mane heading to the Africa Cup of Nations in January. Jurgen Klopp’s side, though, managed to win four of their five games across all competitions in the absence of their star forwards....
Costa was presented as an Atletico player on Sunday after being frozen out at Stamford Bridge. The 29-year-old played a key role as Chelsea won the Premier League title in Conte’s first season at the club but was subsequently told he was surplus to requirements by the Italian.

Both Pogba and Ibrahimovic arrived at Old Trafford during the close-season and the pair have instantly hit it off at the Premier League giants. Conte gives no assurances over Costa future “We have been playing together for some time now so we have this connection and combinations on the pitch,” Pogba told United Review. “I know how to find Zlatan, for example, or [Anthony] Martial or [Marcus] Rashford. We have been together for six months now and the group is more compact, I would say, and you have seen the results come with the manager and the coaches as well....
LEE: I can’t say too much. One thing I can say: I declare that freedom and democracy are the most important things for the Republic of China on Taiwan – and how to defend that freedom and democracy. Take it easy. Don’t be in a hurry. The Chinese question should be discussed slowly. Don’t use weapons. Freedom and democracy are very important; Chinese people want them. Jiang Zemin’s eight-point plan [to peacefully reunite Taiwan and the mainland] was a breakthrough....
Recognizing the increasing security threat, President George W. Bush handed the task of keeping cyberspace secure to the Department of Homeland Security last year, creating a National Cyber Security Division. But it got off to a rough start. Earlier this month, Democrats on the House Homeland Security Select Committee criticized the administration, saying the implementation of recommendations in Bush’s National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace is behind schedule. They also noted that the administration’s top cybersecurity position was open for months last summer after the first two appointees stepped down–the second, just a few months after being named to the post....
If this means that the Xbox 720 won’t be releasing by Holiday 2013, or Ubisoft is simply letting Microsoft keep things quiet isn’t clear, but there’s one thing we do know: the hero of Watch_Dogs, Aiden Pearce, will be of use to anyone who needs to make a phone call. Or kill somebody. Hot on the heels of an impressive showing at Sony’s PS4 announcement event, those already interested in the blend of environment interactions and gunplay now know which poster and image to look out for....
First came word that Ubisoft had motioned to abandon the Watch Dogs trademark, leaving many to speculate on a possible cause. Now, the French publisher claims those motions were fraudulent, and that development remains on track. We have to ask: could DedSec be to blame? We should start by pointing out that as of this writing, all is as it was with development of the game that many have held off purchasing a next-gen console for (and how relieved we are to see a trademark story not involving Candy Crush Saga)....
Watson, who took 53 balls and hit nine fours and six sixes, missed out on a fifth IPL hundred as Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/18) got his wicket. But riding his devastating knock, CSK made light of a 176-run target after skipper M.S. Dhoni asked Sunrisers to bat first. CSK scored 176/4 in 19.5 overs.

Just days after a penalty shoot-out win over Chelsea at Wembley saw City to victory in the League Cup final, Guardiola’s men were indebted to a 59th-minute spot-kick from Sergio Aguero for a victory that left the English champions a point behind leaders Liverpool. With the League Cup already in their trophy cabinet, a City side also still involved in the FA Cup and Champions League could yet end the season having won a remarkable four major pieces of silverware in the one campaign....
Commander Noorullah, who escorted the Afghan wounded to Kabul, says American troops accompanied them in six jeeps. “We had no information about the attack,” says Saboor. “The Americans only told us that we were going to be involved in a big military operation.” As they passed through a narrow valley with Afghan troops in the lead, the convoy came under fire from heavy machine guns and 82 millimeter mortar rounds....
The players weren’t permitted to go home during the tournament, and therefore, they kept getting bats from sponsors and companies. In an interview with The Times of India, Gautam Gambhir recalled the dressing-room situation in the Chennai match: Playing a World Cup at home meant additional pressure on the team because of heightened expectations. The stakeholders would leave no stone unturned to ensure the hosts had adequate resources to maximize their winning chances....

The no.10, however, has failed to replicate those high standards in the second half of the campaign so far. He was even sent off in the Parisian club’s first game back in action against Strasbourg. Neymar’s performance in PSG’s latest defeat against Rennes on January 16 came under a lot of criticism. An executive of the club, however, denied claims that the former Barcelona superstar could be dropped from upcoming matches....
