“I grew up in Austria. I am very aware of Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass,” said Schwarzenegger in a nearly eight-minute video posted to Twitter. “It was a night of rampage against the Jews carried out in 1938 by the Nazi equivalent of the Proud Boys.” “Wednesday was the Day of Broken Glass right here in the United States,” he added. “The broken glass was in the windows of the United States Capitol....
Cedar Rapids-based news outlet KCRG-TV9 reported that it had received calls and messages over the weekend from local residents who had come across a large number of dead and severely ill geese on or around the Iowa River in Coralville, as well as the surrounding areas. Two Iowans, Jessica Darby and Brandon Caswell, told KCRG-TV9 that some of the symptoms the birds were displaying included an inability to fly and seizures, some of which were lasting for several hours....
California Chrome, the highest-rated horse in the world, was the odds-on favorite in a field of 10 for the $6 million race Saturday, having won six consecutive races. MORE: Chrome came up short in ‘14, too And the 5-year-old superstar appeared on track to claim the lucrative purse, setting the pace and pulling clear down the stretch at Santa Anita Park in California. But Arrogate refused to surrender, charging from the outside and powering past California Chrome in jockey Mike Smith’s 25th Breeders’ Cup win....
The former Manchester United striker missed almost nine months of action with a serious knee injury, but first signs were encouraging as he made a successful return. OFFICIAL: Bielsa agrees Lille move Two goals against Southampton in the FA Cup raised hopes that Welbeck would return to his best form; but he has not started since that game in January, though he came off the bench against Watford and Chelsea....
Wenger: Contract not completely sorted The Gunners have lost six of their last nine outings, picking up a solitary Premier League win against Hull City in that time, leading to a number of complaints about the direction the club is currently taking. Calls for Wenger to see his reign ended this summer have been growing in intensity, with disgruntled fans recently arranging a plane to carry a damning message over the Hawthorns during the north London club’s 3-1 loss to West Brom - “No Contract, Wenger Out”....
Arsenal were on a run of four consecutive defeats in all competitions before winning 2-0 at AC Milan in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 fixture on Thursday. The club’s recent form has seen pressure once again mount on manager Arsene Wenger, with the north London club 13 points adrift of the top four ahead of their Premier League clash with Watford on Sunday. But Iwobi has hit back at those who question the team’s mentality, insisting there is no lack of spirit in the Emirates Stadium dressing room....
Wenger: Topping Spurs is important Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger leads his side into another must-win game while taking charge of his 50th derby game in the process. Sunday’s showdown could end Tottenham’s title hopes or diminish the Gunners chances of securing a top four spot - even if St. Totteringham’s Day’s is not going to happen this season. Three successive victories have boosted morale among the Arsenal players and they will be quietly confident of securing a result against their arch rivals, but Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino will be well aware that with his team just four points behind Chelsea, a victory would spice things up even further in the title race....
Alex Iwobi, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Germany star Ozil start will support Welbeck in attack, who also features in his preferred position as a central striker. Arsenal are without new signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who is cup-tied while fellow forward Alexandre Lacazette has been ruled out for up to six weeks after undergoing surgery on his knee. Arsenal: Ospina; Bellerin, Chambers, Mustafi, Monreal; Elneny, Maitland-Niles; Iwobi, Ozil, Mkhitaryan; Welbeck. Subs: Macey, Holding, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Willock, Nelson, Nketiah
Wenger has opted to hand 18-year-old Joe Willock his first senior start while Reiss Nelson and Ainsley Maitland-Niles make up a young-looking XI. The Frenchman said in his pre-match press conference that he would field an experienced team against BATE, with the likes of Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott and the returning Jack Wilshere all featuring in Belarus. Gunners captain Per Mertesacker starts in defence alongside Shkodran Mustafi and Rob Holding, while Mohamed Elneny is expected to partner Willock in midfield which will give Wilshere licence to roam forward....
Having begun training in Cobham two weeks ago and played a number of behind-closed-doors friendlies, the game against the Gunners will be the Blues’ first high profile preparatory game ahead of the 2017-18 season. Antonio Conte’s side then travel to Singapore, where games against Bayern Munich and Inter follow on July 25 and 29 respectively. Bet on Chelsea or Arsenal to win the Premier League Arsenal, on the other hand, have already got three pre-season friendly games marked off their schedule, including an International Champions Cup victory over Bayern Munich....
Arsenal troubled Liverpool throughout the first 45 minutes at The Emirates, with the Gunners midfield in control of proceedings. After the break, however, Arsenal’s assertion faded and the gulf between these two in-form teams was clear as Liverpool ground out a 2-0 victory in London. Diogo Jota, who had a poor match prior and was about to be withdrawn, put Liverpool ahead in the 54th minute with a near-post effort that goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale should have saved....
Messi, Ozil in best CL team The Gunners finished top of their group after beating Basel on matchday six, while rivals Paris Saint-Germain dropped two points against Ludogorets. Arsenal will now face a second-placed team in the first knockout round, with Madrid and Bayern Munich among their potential opponents. But Wenger says Arsenal fear no-one. “You look at the teams we can get, some look more prestigious, more difficult, and you would like me to say ‘I don’t want this team or that team’ but that would put us already in an inferior position if it happens,” Wenger said at a news conference....
Imagine Arsenal without Alexis Pickford has been a rare bright note in a desperately poor season for the relegated Black Cats and reports have suggested that Arsenal have been keeping tabs on his situation. The 23-year-old was in fine form as Sunderland slumped to a 2-0 defeat against Arsenal in the Premier League on Tuesday, making several stops that drew praise from Wenger. But the Frenchman says Pickford, who has also been linked with Manchester City and Manchester United, would have too much competition at Emirates Stadium....

Common Causes With each of the major types of arthritis, there are different causes and risk factors, but these are the ones most often at play. Older Age Older age is a major factor in arthritis as cartilage becomes increasingly brittle over time and has less capacity to repair itself. The development of osteoarthritis is typically seen to begin between the ages of 40 and 50, although it can start earlier in other forms of the disorder....
Negotiations are well underway for the 21-year-old, and though a transfer is not expected to take place until January 2019, the Catalan side rate the youngster highly. Indeed, a €30 million fee has been mooted for the midfielder, with scope for another €10m to be sent to Brazil by way of bonus payments. Arthur, though, is still a player little known in Europe and even Amodeo admits that he is unsure what type of player he might develop into....
This formula, which is wearing a bit thin, works better in Sydney Pollack’s spiffy adaptation of John Grisham’s best seller than it has in a while, because here it’s not the whole show. There’s a lot more going on in this convoluted thriller than the spectacle of a handsome lad transcending his callow nature. Pollack treats Cruise as a team player, surrounds him with a smashing team of actors and sustains the suspense for a taut two and a half hours....
Certainly Indiana coach Archie Miller wanted his Hoosiers to win Thursday night and advance to the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament. Their failure to do that was one more disappointment in a season with more than fans would prefer, and one or two of them voiced their possibly drunken hostility toward Miller — and then injured center DeRon Davis — as the team walked toward the locker room following IU’s 76-69 loss to Rutgers....
Her comments come as China begins a full month of military exercises in the region, with its government repeatedly expressing disapproval of navigation exercises conducted by the U.S. and its allies. Tsai Ing-wen’s remarks were delivered by her party’s spokesperson, Yen Juo-fang, on Wednesday after she heard a specially commissioned report about the security situation in the South China Sea, where Taiwan administers two islands and makes historical claims over many others....
As of Friday morning, Biden currently leads Trump by just under 1,000 votes with 99 percent of votes counted, according to The Associated Press’ election data. Georgia has not voted for a Democratic president since Bill Clinton in 1992. Trump needs to win Georgia to stand a chance of being re-elected. As AP puts Biden on 264 electoral votes currently of the 270 needed, Georgia’s 16 on offer would put him into the White House....
