The reigning Ligue 1 champion is currently third in the table, six points adrift of leader Nice having drawn two and lost two of its first 11 league games. Fifth-placed Rennes will provide a stern challenge at Parc de Princes having lost just one of its last seven games in all competitions, and Emery is expecting a tough battle. “Recently, the team has progressed, but there is still much room for improvement,” he told French newspaper Le Parisien....
Ederson’s secret weapon will boost Man City attack PSG won the cup in dramatic fashion with a 1-0 win over Angers at Stade de France, Issa Cissokho’s own goal in the first minute of second-half stoppage time proving decisive. Emery’s men lost out on the Ligue 1 title to Monaco this season and crashed out of the Champions League with a historic last-16 collapse to Barcelona, but ended 2016-17 on a high against Angers....
It was far from a comfortable match for the seventh seed, who won the first set easily but struggled in the second, saving two set points in the 10th game, before running away with the tie-break. Raducanu played some powerful tennis at times but made too many errors at crucial times with her new-found attacking approach. Gauff will now meet the winner of China’s 29th-seed Qinwen Zheng and USA’s Bernarda Pera in the third round....
One Reddit post has gone viral on the subreddit “Antiwork” after an employee shared his/her employer’s less than accommodating work-from-home policy moving forward. Redditor u/covid19qqq wrote about the situation in a post that has now been voted on over 14,000 times. To start off the post, the Redditor gave a bit of background about what his/her work environment looked like before the pandemic.

The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeal in Shreveport issued the ruling Thursday. State District Judge Craig Marcotte had thrown out the lawsuit against the mandate filed October 5 by dozens of employees from Ochsner’s Shreveport facility, but the three-judge panel ordered him to hold a hearing for the mandate and bar its enforcement until a ruling on legality was issued, the AP reported. Chuck Daigle, the chief executive officer of Ochsner LSU Health, said the day after the lawsuit was filed that the system stands “firmly behind the science and data that demonstrates the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination....
Lindh, whose federal trial is scheduled for this fall in Alexandria, Va., is charged with 10 counts that include conspiracy to murder Americans, aiding and conspiring to aid terrorists, and aiding an organization, the Taliban, that supports terrorists. But it’s now clear that the government only has a good case against him for violating a presidential executive order in 1999 that made it illegal to provide services to the Taliban because they were aiding Al Qaeda....
The two animals, a 4-year-old male and a 3-year-old female, were found to have died due to human-inflicted trauma, Hawaiian news channel KHON2 reported citing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) officials. The seals were identified because of their tracking numbers. The animals were both born on the island and had been spotted in a healthy condition weeks before their deaths.

So it is no surprise that regulators and lawmakers in Washington are focused on extending our broadband networks to every American. Republicans and Democrats alike are pledging to inject billions of dollars in federal support to get the job done. The question is how to pay for this massive investment in our internet infrastructure. Up to now, there have been two leading approaches. The first is the FCC’s current model for funding internet builds....
Good news about this bill has been buried because EARN IT threatens Big Tech’s laissez-faire attitude toward the sexual abuse and exploitation that thrives on social media and other online platforms. Reintroduced in the U.S. Senate by Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and in the U.S. House by Reps. Sylvia Garcia (D-Tex.) and Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), the EARN IT Act will finally hold Big Tech accountable for the distribution of CSAM....
I’m told that Edwards’s decision was very closely held, meaning he and his wife alone knew the score. As of Tuesday morning he still had an ambitious schedule planned in the Super Tuesday states. But Tuesday afternoon he notified his staff that he wanted to go to New Orleans instead. Everyone knew what that meant. That devastated city was where Edwards had begun his campaign in the name of the poor and forgotten....
Since winning the World Cup in 1966, England have struggled at major tournaments, only progressing beyond the quarter-finals once at Euro 1996. Wenger: I have decided my future England were embarrassingly knocked out of Euro 2016 by minnows Iceland in the last 16, when Roy Hodgson was in charge. Southgate - now full-time manager after permanently replacing Sam Allardyce - believes England must shed their narrow-mindedness on the Premier League being the centre of the universe if they are to compete with the elite....
The 28-year-old Englishman only needed a podium spot in one of the two final races of the season in Jerez to win the title, and sealed it by finishing third in the opener. Sykes suffered the agony of missing out on the crown to Max Biaggi last year but, despite starting this season with a cracked bone in his left wrist, was not to be denied this time around. The Yorkshireman's nearest rival, Eugene Laverty, won both races in Jerez but that was not enough to give him the title as Sykes became the first Kawasaki rider to win the title for 20 years....
Shredding didn’t become de rigeur in the United States until the onset of the cold war, when a new sense of impending doom and paranoia set in. Today, thanks to Watergate and other high-profile scandals, paper shredding has a slightly seedy air. “A lot of people think I’m like a Nixon character, toiling away in a dark room to destroy information,” says Steve Papai, who has run a paper-shredding company since 1979....
The San Francisco high school football team’s effort began before Mission’s game last Saturday, and the players plan to continue to kneel during the Star-Spangled Banner the entire season, including Friday night’s game at San Mateo High. Greg Hill, head football coach at Mission High, remained standing while his players knelt last Saturday and plans to continue to stand during the anthem throughout the season. “I decided I’d stand for them,” Hill said, per the Chronicle....
Aigbogun has been without a job since he left the People’s Elephants - a team he failed to take beyond the Caf Champions League group stage in 2016. His return marks his third stint with the Aba-based outfit, where he previously worked as assistant coach to Salisu Yusuf in 2013 and came back three-year later before he was replaced by erstwhile coach Gbenga Ogunbote. “Enyimba Football Club has reappointed Paul Aigbogun as Technical Adviser of the club,” said the club in a statement....

The man who led the charge for World Championship Wrestling for the majority of its run was Eric Bischoff. From 1994 until September 1999, Bischoff was WCW’s Executive Vice President, later becoming the President of the Ted Turner-owned company. There, he signed the likes of Hulk Hogan, “Macho Man” Randy Savage and “Rowdy Rowdy” Piper away from the WWE to help give the company the much-needed notoriety needed to help them become the dominant force of the pro-wrestling landscape....
One year ago, the fight was nothing more than a pipedream. Before his lightweight title unification bout with Robert Easter Jr. in July, Garcia started bringing up the possibility of moving up in weight and challenging the man, who is perhaps the best 147-pound fighter in the world. At first, Spence was dismissive of the bout and told Sporting News during his conference call that he didn’t think too much about it....
