The hosts were in control of the game for the entire 90 minutes except for a few scares on the counter by Granada. Yan Brice Eteki almost gave the visitors a shock lead but his low strike came back off the post. The turning point in the game was the sending off of Granada’s German Sanchez, which provided a lot of space for Barcelona in the midfield to control the tempo of the game....

Brazilian youngster Marquinhos marked his Gunners debut with a superb opener on 17 minutes before Mirlind Kryeziu’s penalty hauled the hosts level. Despite resting a string of big names in Switzerland, Arsenal looked to step up the tempo in the second period, with Marquinhos’ whipped cross eventually nodded home by Nketiah. Group A rivals PSV were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Bodo/Glimt on a busy opening night of Europa League action....

FCC commissioner Brendan Carr, one of four members of the FCC leadership team, took the initiative to reach out to both Apple and Google regarding the status of TikTok this past week. Carr delivered a letter to both Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, and Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google, requesting that TikTok be banned from each platform. Specifically, Carr says that TikTok’s “patter of surreptitious data practices” breaks both platforms’ own rules and thus should be removed....

The drug, bebtelovimab, is authorized for people 12 years and older who test positive for COVID-19 and are at high risk of hospitalization or death. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it’s to be administered only when other treatment options aren’t available. Manufactured by Eli Lilly, bebtelovimab appears to be effective against Omicron and other variants including BA.2, according to the company. “With the emergence of variants such as Omicron, treatment options remain limited....

A year before, my children had to deal with the aftermath of 9-11: living in Washington, D.C., they had to contend with the roar of low-flying fighter jets and helicopters crisscrossing over our house, tanks in the streets, tales of families who had suitcases packed and escape routes planned in case Washington came under fire again. Then came the anthrax scare and my warnings to them not to touch the mail....

The tournament will feature Angola, Zimbabwe, South Africa as well as the hosts, Zambia and it will be played from 21 to 24 March in Ndola. Some Bucs fans will be keen to see how Shonga and Mulenga perform for their national team having caught the eye of the Soweto giants’ scouts while playing for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) champions. Shonga joined the Buccaneers from Zambian Super League outfit Nkwazi FC in September after impressing in Chipolopolo colours during the 2017 Cosafa Cup....

5-Star Players Drew Brees, QB, Saints. Owners might be worried here, but Brees can play through the matchup. Brees is 64-of-96 for 650 yards, 4 TDs and no interceptions in two previous visits to Seattle. It’s a bad time for Seattle to be dealing with suspensions at cornerback. He’s going to get the attempts and should get enough attempts to be a QB1. Marshawn Lynch, RB, Seahawks. This is Lynch’s game and replays of that famous run will be showed in earnest....

Grabbing bounties and browsing vendors’ inventories on the companion apps and sites saves players from halting their gameplay to return to most of the games’ social spaces. With mobile alternatives increasingly replacing the need to visit social spaces outside of limited events, story progress, and focusing loot engrams, the desire for more uses specific to social spaces is growing. Not to mention, when the game encounters technical difficulties, the features in Destiny 2’s companion apps are disabled until the problem is addressed....

Meet Arsenal’s first January signing As talks continue between Alexis’s agent and Arsenal officials over a contract extension, the Chilean is playing with fire in his eyes, snapping at team-mates and growing visibly frustrated at a side whose early-season promise is now stuttering when it matters most. On Tuesday night, a clip of Alexis appearing to shout expletives in the direction of Aaron Ramsey after the Copa America champion decided to have a shot at goal instead of passing set the tone for Arsenal’s first half....

U.S. District Court Judge Sarah E. Pitlyk denied a request from Ranata Frank, a homeless woman residing at the Market Street encampments across from City Hall, to temporarily block planned removals as the case was being litigated. ArchCity Defenders, a non-profit civil rights group, represented Frank and sought to have the case classified as a class-action lawsuit representing all of the encampment’s homeless residents. The group told Newsweek in a statement that it could not comment on pending litigation, but that it stands by “the lived experiences of those who are currently homeless in St....

The Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act passed in the House with a narrow bipartisan margin, with 220 lawmakers in support and 204 opposed. Three Republicans—Representatives Matt Gaetz of Florida, Brian Mast of Florida and Tom McClintock of California—voted in support, along with the vast majority of Democrats. Democratic Representatives Henry Cuellar of Texas and Chris Pappas of New Hampshire joined the majority of GOP House members in opposing the legislation....

East Bengal started their game against Churchill Brothers in dominant fashion. They looked set to take all the plaudits but a late goal from Ansumana Kromah meant the team from Kolkata had to settle for a point despite dominating the majority of the game. East Bengal are coming on the back of a disappointing league campaign. The Red and Golds looked certain to mount a serious title challenge early on in the season but the promise failed to blossom as Aizawl FC took the league by storm....

An eight-time winner of the men’s singles at the All England Club, Federer was an overwhelming favourite against the 22nd seed and never looked like falling victim to a huge upset. Mannarino won only two points in the first five games and the opening set was brought to an end inside just 16 minutes. The underdog was far more competitive thereafter, but Federer still triumphed with ease and will face Gael Monfils or Kevin Anderson in his 16th Wimbledon quarter-final....

Expected to be called the 875, the Snapdragon 888 is a serious step forward for Qualcomm, with massive leaps in AI and GPU performance, and the first integrated 5G modem in an 800-series chip. We already know it’ll feature in the Xiaomi Mi 11, but which other new phones will it appear in? And we’re just as interested in what wasn’t announced – with no sign of a new 700-series chip to replace the 765G, and no mention of the next Windows-on-Snapdragon chip to rival the Apple M1....

I’m sad for the company and shocked at the things that appear to have been done. My third reaction is that it lifts the veil on the dysfunction that existed in the boardroom at the end of my tenure. I asked direct questions and I expected direct answers. And when it was clear that I was not getting direct answers, my next step was to ask our outside counsel to have a conversation with each one of them....

However, the Fatal Frame series took a downwards spiral in terms of game releases’ after Fatal Frame 3. Mask of the Lunar Eclipse never left Japan, the spin-off game, Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir for the 3DS was a disappointment for fans and critics alike, and the remake of Fatal Frame 2 never was released to North America. In 2014, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water came and fans were excited to finally play a non-spinoff title that was not region exclusive....

But one father-son duo in Philadelphia got a little creative. The two used a string and clipboard contraption to reel in Stephen Curry’s autograph before a practice ahead of the Warriors’ game against the 76ers on Friday. MORE: Classic photos of Stephen Curry | Is Anthony Morrow’s jumper quicker than Stephen Curry’s? These fans must have staked out Curry and known when he would arrive to practice then created the plan to lower their memorabilia....

Speaking during a Reuters Total Health conference on Tuesday, Fauci said the coronavirus could be downgraded to an endemic—or a level of infection that is so low it would not affect daily life—by the spring of 2022 if enough adults receive a vaccine and booster shot. “To me if you want to get endemic, you have got to get the level of infection so low that it does not have an impact on society, on your life, on your economy,” Fauci said....

The victim, whose exact age was not given, was a high school student who was one week away from taking her national college exams, Shanghai news portal The Paper reported Wednesday. A statement released by the office for industry and commerce in Zhanjiang, a coastal city in the province of Guangdong, said the passenger became trapped inside the elevator when it stopped between the first floor and basement level 1 at 7:39 p....
