We’re not sure if there’s any past beef between these two, but the hatred was on full display during this series. MORE: Watch ‘ChangeUp,’ a new MLB live whiparound show on DAZN Act I: The Assault In the video above, we can see Machado suggest to Blooper he has something on his shirt. It’s a kind gesture … or so it seems. In reality, Blooper’s shirt was fine. Machado was simply tricking the mascot into believing there was something there so he could get Blooper to look down....

Talk of a second-tier competition has dominated discussions since the Association of Australian Football Clubs (AAFC) – a lobby group representing National Premier League clubs from state federations and the ACT – unveiled plans for a national division to be aligned with the A-League by 2019. In the blueprint published last week, the league, named ‘The Championship’, would consist of between 12 and 16 clubs from the existing state league setup, with the target of introducing promotion and relegation in five years....

This was not Kissinger’s secret trip to China, but it appears to be the first attempt by corporate executives to open a diplomatic back channel to Beijing. NEWSWEEK interviewed company executives and diplomats and reviewed their correspondence, reconstructing a quixotic odyssey that shows the intensely personal pressure on American executives to be “good corporate citizens” in China. Now, after 13 months of phone calls, letters and “bizarre” meetings with Chinese diplomats, the CEOs despair of seeing Jiang, and don’t even know if he’s seen their missive....

But it never happened. Instead, the world looked on dumbfounded as—in Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu’s immortal phrase—the “rainbow nation” was born. Recently, South Africans across the country’s nine provinces and all over the world watched as the rainbow seemed to evaporate like the myth that the cynics and the skeptics have always claimed it was. Thousands of people descended on shopping centers, making off with everything from essential foodstuffs to luxury items....

The Impulse walkout was the latest in a string of nightmarish episodes involving Russia’s decaying arsenal. More than ever, the nuclear priesthood in the West has concerns about just how much control Russia has over its nuclear weapons. Since 1991, intelligence agencies say, there have been several serious attempts to smuggle small amounts of plutonium out of the former Soviet Union. In 1995 the Russian strategic command believed for about 15 minutes that the test launch of an atmospheric-research rocket from the coast of Norway was a pre-emptive nuclear strike-and alerted Boris Yeltsin that he might have to authorize a counterstrike....

Despite a rocky start, A Couple of Cuckoos manage to deliver some very solid episodes for the past few weeks. After all, both episodes 3 and 4 are truly enjoyable to watch and move the story along quite nicely. The question now becomes whether this series can keep its momentum going or not. So is this fifth episode as good as the previous ones? Let’s dive deeper into it in this review for episode 5 of A Couple of Cuckoos....

The 1906 Antiquities Act expressly forbids taking ancient artifacts from reservations. Tribal Chairman Gregg Bourland says the Sioux want to display a cast of Sue’s skeleton at a local museum and donate the bones to a college. But an attorney for the fossil hunters says the act does not cover prehistoric fossils like Sue. And although Sue was on Indian trust land, he argues, it was trust land “deeded” to a private individual....

A big win for Washington–but was it based on a dirty deal? The Justice Department is now scrambling to answer charges that, in its zeal to get Noriega, the U.S. government made a bargain with the Call drug cartel. Noriega’s lawyers claim the cartel paid Bilonick $1.2 million to testify against Noriega; in return, the Feds agreed to get the prison sentence of a top cartel leader reduced. The Department of Justice is denying any wrongdoing, but NEWSWEEK has seen secret documents and letters between a cartel lawyer and a federal prosecutor that appear to support Noriega’s claims....

There is relatively little known about the mobile title coming from Bungie. Exploration, multiplayer, diverse combat, and unique weapon rolls are part of Destiny’s gameplay, though it is unclear if the potential new game will feature any of these classic characteristics. RELATED: Destiny 2 Player Shares Incredible No Damage Taken Solo Master Nightfall Run According to The Game Post, multiple different job listings, and a partnership between Bungie and Chinese company NetEase, Bungie is developing a mobile Destiny title....

It would have been just another Chicago street killing but for one fact: Rich, who used his mother’s surname, was the son of Bobby Rush, the onetime “defense minister” of the Black Panther Party in Illinois, who is now serving his fourth term as a U.S. congressman. The death of his son devastated Rush; a month later the lawmaker still breaks into tears trying to explain what could have happened....

Some 4,000 friends, relatives and Washington Post Company employees-including Vice President Dick Cheney, former President Bill Clinton, and a host of senators, governors, mayors, Supreme Court justices, former cabinet officials from both parties, and the cellist Yo-Yo Ma-packed the National Cathedral to celebrate the life of Katharine Graham, the longtime CEO and chairman of The Washington Post and a powerful fixture in the capital for 40 years. Graham died Tuesday from head injuries after falling on a sidewalk in Sun Valley, Idaho, at an annual conference of media and business leaders....

NEWSWEEK: It seems that Michelin has just named Tokyo the best food city in the world. Have you heard anything about it? Alain Senderens: I don’t think Michelin would have said that Tokyo is better. Tokyo has 35 million inhabitants. Michelin may have said that Tokyo has more three-star restaurants, which is normal, considering that Paris’s population is 10 million. There will always be three-star restaurants. But it’s not in the spirit of today....

Meanwhile, that other balance, in supply and demand, has been extremely tight. Even without actual disruptions, possible threats to supply–from the war in Lebanon and from rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear program–were enough last summer to push oil prices above $78 a barrel, accompanied by forecasts of $100 a barrel. But then a slowing U.S. economy and growing inventories, and the prospect of rising non-OPEC production, sent prices down. That was enough to alarm OPEC into cutting production in order to stem the downward trend and keep prices above $50 to $55 a barrel....

In a tweet, the band thanked their fans for helping the video hit the billion views milestone. The iconic video was directed by Steve Barron, who also directed videos for classic songs like Toto’s “Africa” and Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue.” He went on to direct seven more videos for A-ha. According to Entertainment Weekly, the video took four months to create, with illustrator Mike Patterson creating 3,000 sketches for the video....

Then the New York “vulture” hedge fund Alden Global Capital took over our chain, Digital First Media, in 2012. Since then, scores of papers across the country have been stripped for parts under Alden’s chop-shop approach to the businesses it touches. It’s true that before Alden, we had layoffs and downsizing. But we also knew who our owners were. We knew they were in the news business and that they understood the ethics and responsibilities that go with running a newspaper....

A guard of honour for Sydney from the Newcastle players preceded a goalless first half, in which Alex Wilkinson headed against the bar for the Sky Blues and Andrew Nabbout sidefooted a penalty wide for the Jets after Rhyan Grant fouled Andrew Hoole. Berisha makes A-League history The breakthrough came for Sydney in the 56th minutes – Milos Ninkovic on hand to convert Filip Holosko’s low cross. Captain Alex Brosque volleyed home to make the win safe three minutes from time and ensure he would lift the premiers’ plate with a record haul of 66 points to Sydney’s name, outstripping Brisbane’s previous best mark of 65 – set in a 30-game season in 2011 as opposed to the current 27-match format....

This was the regular response Jimmy the Greek would so often give after that day in 1988 when he made a few terribly careless remarks about the black athlete that prompted CBS to fire him. In fact, however ill-chosen or historically ignorant some of The Greek’s words were, his flip discourse was not meant to be noxious, or even controversial. “What he said seemed self-evident to most whites and a good many blacks as well: blacks in general are more athletically gifted than whites,” wrote Richard Cohen in The Washington Post....
