Kerala Blasters FC, having not won a single home match this season had a lot to care about as they ended their three-match losing streak with a draw in the previous one and faced a desperate situation at eight points in nine games....

The NFL’s “TNF” schedule usually ends a couple of weeks before the end of the regular season, as the league wants to give teams adequate time to rest and prepare for their next opponent. As such, the league seems very unlikely to add a Thursday playoff game to the mix at any point, especially since there are only four games left to be played. The divisional round games will take place on Saturday and Sunday, making this just the second week so far that has had NFL football on just two days of the week....

which can cut out several portions of any video file with very precise specified timings, joins the rest of portions automatically, and export final video without the slow process of ’re-encoding’ ?

Often, businesses wind down on Christmas and New Year’s Eves too, with shortened hours. Over that period, families may need to get some groceries in to prepare festive meals or cater for holiday parties. On New Year’s Day itself, pantries may need restocking after an indulgent few days. Whether it’s hot chocolate, mince pies, electric blankets or more alcohol, Walmart is the U.S.’s largest supermarket chain, so it would typically be the first port of call for many Americans....

Gone are those days when the World Heavyweight Championship was considered a prized asset. There was a time when this world title meant everything for the wrestlers. Batista, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Chris Benoit and not to forget Ric Flair, spent most of their lifetime in the WWE to get their hands on this title. The Elimination Chamber match where Shawn Michaels made a return and won this title redefined the way I looked at it....

On Tuesday, there was initial alarm among world leaders that the strike in Przewodow in the east of the NATO member could prompt an a response under Article 5 of the alliance’s charter. This quickly eased when Poland and the U.S. agreed that it was an accident likely caused by a Ukrainian air defense missile. However, even as the threat of escalation under the alliance’s “one-for-all and all-for-one” principle died down, the Ukrainian president insisted that he had “no doubt that it was not our missile....

For the Brooklyn-born Mizrahi, creating inexpensive women’s clothing for Target is a way to test his theory that one can have an impact on fashion even without making a $20,000 dress that gets worn once at the Emmys. He hopes to accomplish it on the backs of the humble millions who just want something nice to wear to work for under $50. For the Minneapolis-based Target, with 1,200 stores around the country and annual sales of about $37 billion, the Mizrahi deal helped solidify its position as the alternative to Wal-Mart, a place for people who believe that quotidian life holds satisfactions beyond getting the lowest price on paper towels....

Jaden got a big laugh out of the moment, but James took the mic after his dad had finished speaking with reporters and proclaimed, “Isaiah’s the greatest basketball player.” MORE: Must-see NBA playoff photos It looks like this is becoming a trend — remember Riley Curry at dad Stephen’s post-game presser last year? — and that might be a very good thing.

Offside Ronaldo leaves Pique speechless Zinedine Zidane’s men seemed in a great position to reach the final four after a 2-1 win in the first leg at the Allianz Arena, but they eventually needed extra time in the return to shake off the Bavarians, recording a 4-2 win at the Santiago Bernabeu. The game was marred by a number of controversial refereeing decisions, with Bayern furious at match official Viktor Kassai after Arturo Vidal was harshly shown a second yellow card, with two of Cristiano Ronaldo’s three goals appearing to come from an offside position....

Yes, that is Thomas holding up a Crying Jordan head at Assembly Hall, and, yes, it’s an amazing moment in basketball history. Not only is there the obvious IU-UNC connection between Thomas and Jordan, but there are years of rivalry in there as well. Thomas was famously held off the 1992 Olympic “Dream Team” and in a book about the roster, author Jack McCallum quotes Jordan telling Team USA selection committee member Rod Thorn, “I don’t want to play if Isiah Thomas is on the team....
