“There can be so many places where I thought we lost the game, but honestly in a T20 game it’s all about winning those pressure moments which we have not been able to win in the last few games. If we had actually held onto those crunch moments, we might have had a couple of more points or probably four points but that’s that, we weren’t able to close it out and we got some experience in the middle order, but couldn’t really close it out in the crucial moments today,” he explained....

In the conversations I had with President Bush at Camp David [in December], we emphasized our commitment to continue the negotiations. It’s on time, on track, and we hope to have a text in the coming weeks. The agreement is good for Mexico and good for the U.S. So whatever the results of your own political system, I’m convinced it will be welcome. Certainly the U.S. economy looked better then, and this is not the best of possible times to negotiate such a thing during a recession....

In an interview with French outlet L’Equipe (via Le Figaro), the Madrid goal machine revealed he told his teammates to focus on the job at hand, saying: The Frenchman led by example and bagged a hat trick to secure a 3-2 win against PSG on aggregate to see Los Blancos through to the quarter-finals. Benzema now sits fourth on the all-time Champions League goal-scoring charts, within shouting distance of legends like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo....

So far the Nieveses have received just $725 in aid from New York’s Crime Victims Board, part of which they used to pay their mom’s $66 phone bill and $117 electric bill. They’re trying to find other programs that might help. Navigating that bureaucratic maze “is like being in a room with the lights off,” says John. “You know there are things in the room, but you don’t know where they are....

Staten did say that getting this news out is his top priority and that an update will be offered as soon as possible. This comes after the extension to Season 1, which is being pushed to May 2022. Why Halo Infinite needs extra time for further announcements Fans were supposed to get some news on the major updates coming to Halo Infinite back in January, but that never materialized. Instead, fans have had to wait and speculate on what to expect, and when....

So, I have been an elementary school teacher for 11 years now and the last seven of those have been in Durham, North Carolina. For the past three years I have been teaching at Lakewood Elementary School, but in 2015 when I was teaching at Eastway Elementary School, the family of a student reached out needing food for their kids for winter break. There are lots of programs during the school year where kids can get a bag of food every Friday for the weekend, but being out of school for two weeks over Christmas is a different story....

Man Utd announce £40m Lindelof deal United announced the signing of the Sweden international from Benfica on Wednesday evening in a deal worth £40 million, with the 22-year-old signing a five-year deal. Lindelof joins Jones, Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo in the United defensive pack as Jose Mourinho shuffles his pack ahead of the 2017-18 Premier League season. And Jones, who made 18 starts under the Portuguese last term, believes the signing of Lindelof will only benefit those already at the club....

NORDLAND: Will OPEC really increase crude-oil production by 800,000 barrels per day, or will members simply use that to legitimize past cheating on their quotas? SHEIK SAUD: It was our responsibility to fulfill our commitment to increase by 500,000 barrels and we added 300,000 more. But your question is very valid. Some countries have been overproducing; I can’t really deny this fact. We have increased production [in Kuwait] for several reasons; one is a technical reason, [the other was] to prevent any possible recession in the world market… We have vested interests in the U....

United needed only a point to secure qualification and progress to the knockout phase as Group A winners, but it was not to be midweek. Anthony Martial, Romelu Lukaku, Marouane Fellaini and Marcos Rojo all came close in a first half which was dominated by United — with the latter two denied by the woodwork. And Basel took full advantage, improving immeasurably after half-time and eventually stealing a late win in the 89th minute through Michael Lang, leaving Mourinho understandably frustrated....

The £75m questions for Lukaku Lewandowski had to settle for second behind Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and blamed a lack of support from his colleagues in the final match of the season against Freiburg. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti has since rejected any suggestion Lewandowski - who scored 30 goals compared to Aubameyang’s 31 - is unsettled at the Allianz Arena, and Rummenigge says the Pole’s perception is wide of the mark....

Faf du Plessis talked extensively about his cricketing career, including the 2018 India-South Africa Test and ODI series, in the latest edition of the show ‘Sony Ten Pit Stop’. Even though South Africa won the last Test series against India in their backyard, Faf du Plessis was asked if that particular Indian team was the best to have played in South Africa. He responded by stating that it was a great Test series and it was the first time that an Indian attack was able to challenge the Proteas in South Africa....

Hacking isn’t a new element in gaming, of course, but it’s usually relegated to minigames like the “Pipe Dream” hacking mechanism in BioShock. In Watch Dogs the hacking will be the most prominent gameplay mechanic and the most powerful weapon that Aiden has against both criminals and cops, with shooting and car-stealing taking something of a back seat. However, since computers in the real world experience bugs and glitches, fictional computer systems within a game being played on a real computer system are twice as susceptible to glitches - that’s just science....

Case in point: the forthcoming port of Watch Dogs, which we just learned will not include and DLC. Not at launch, not further down the road, not ever. Ubisoft broke the news on Twitter saying quite bluntly, “No, the Wii U version not have the DLC.” That means Wii U players of Watch Dogs will not have access to extra side missions, new accessories and weapons, and they will not be able to play the upcoming ‘Bad Blood’ expansion....

British shorthair cat Huffie seems to like water, even if he can’t exactly enjoy it in all its glory—it runs straight off him. Shared by his owner on September 8, the video showing Huffie’s “waterproof” abilities has been viewed over 5 million times, and liked by over 800,000 times. “When you’re trying to take a shower, but you’re waterproof,” wrote Huffie’s owner in the video. Huffie can be seen pawing at the running faucet, as the water falls onto his fur and seemingly runs straight off....

This came after the passing of his child, which the star shared, asking for support and privacy.

Taking to Instagram, Ronaldo thanked everyone for their support and welcomed his partner and the newest member of his family hoe, posting:...

It hasn’t happened in a while, and Donald doesn’t believe it’s going to happen any time soon, either. According to Golf Monthly, he dismissed the idea, saying: It hasn’t happened since 1961, but regardless, it’s been a very long time since a captain doubled as a member of the team for the Ryder Cup. He did admit that he felt like he was playing well, as evidenced by the 64 he shot at the Abu Dhabi HSBC championship:...

Kolfage was indicted in 2020, along with former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and others, for allegedly misusing funds donated to the campaign, which began in 2018. Bannon was pardoned by Trump in the final days of his presidency, but others involved in the fundraiser still faced charges. The 2020 federal indictment alleged that Kolfage, Bannon, Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea, among others, misled investors by consistently claiming they would “not take a penny” from the donations....

I am a refugee from Congo. The conflict took everything away from me: my home, my family, my friends, and my beautiful country. We lived in the refugee camp until I was about 11 years old. Life was hard. There was not enough to eat, people could be unkind, and our future was so uncertain. But it was interesting, and sometimes even fun, too. We had each other to keep us company and there were so many personalities crammed into close living quarters....
