David Duckenfield, 74, was the match-day commander at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough ground. He faces 95 counts of gross negligence manslaughter following the fatal crush in the Leppings Lane end allocated to Liverpool fans. The former chief superintendent appeared via videolink at Preston Crown Court on Monday, confirming his name and entering his plea. England’s state prosecutor, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), had applied to lift a historical stay – an order preventing him being tried – on Duckenfield, which was put in place in 2000....

The former NFL star, who is backed by former President Donald Trump, is facing Democratic candidate Raphael Warnock in the Georgia Senate runoff election. Republican politicians like Texas Senator Ted Cruz and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, along with former Representative Tulsi Gabbard, a onetime Democrat from Hawaii who left the party this year, have all shown support for Walker and have actively campaigned for him. However, many have called into question Walker’s viability as a candidate....

Inter are reported to have already reached an agreement with the German club to sign Lazaro for €22million. And the 23-year-old, who has contributed directly to 16 goals in the past two Bundesliga seasons, arrived in Milan on Sunday to complete the move. Speaking outside Lazaro’s hotel in the Italian city, agent Federico Pastorello told TuttoMercatoWeb: “He’s very happy. He needs his rest now, as the medical is set for very early tomorrow morning....

Burn the Witch garnered attention for its unique art style and interesting plot, where two women are part of a task force to subdue dragons and protect the citizens of London and its alternate version. But when the first episode premiered in the beginning of October, the plot confused some viewers. The most prominent question, “Did I miss something?” was prevalent for many viewers by episode 3. Perhaps the answer will be revealed in future episodes, but it feels as if there’s some kind of inside information the viewer doesn’t know about....

Spending a semester abroad is as much a part of college life as Beer Pong. In the last four years overseas study has gone up more than 45 percent, according to the Institute of International Education. But the destinations are changing. Europe, still the most frequented locale, is out; Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East are in. Attendance at programs is up 77 percent in Thailand and 44 percent in South Africa, for example....

It came to light in the final days of September that Google Stadia would no longer be receiving support shortly into the new year. The news was not much of a shock to the wider gaming community, who had ostensibly written off Stadia as a lesser alternative to consoles, attributing the attitude to a poor business model. However, it was an unpleasant surprise to many developers who had titles scheduled to release on the service, with some contracts signed mere weeks before....

As seen in the tweet below, Hideo Kojima shares the image of himself as “Lego Hideo,” alongside a promotional poster of the Japanese version of The Lego Batman Movie, as well as an image of several other people immortalized as LEGO characters. Prior to his being made into a LEGO character, Kojima-san tweeted about his seeing the animated film, and called it a “masterpiece,” saying that only the LEGO company could have shown Batman’s “true nature....

It’s something Fox wants to see more of, too, as the Kings continue to push to end their 13-year playoff drought. Hield scored 34 points and made seven 3s, and Sacramento weathered a fourth-quarter flurry from Jimmy Butler to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 115-108 on Saturday night. “I tell him to do it more just to be able to get to the free throw line more,” Fox said of Hield’s dunks in the first and third quarters....

However, those plans with the smallest monthly premiums are also the plans that have the highest out-of-pocket costs, too. Depending on your family’s health, they may be a smart choice, or they may be a health and/or financial disaster for you. The name “catastrophic” is supposed to refer to the fact that if you get very sick or injured badly—a catastrophic event—then you will have at least a minimum of health insurance to help you pay the exorbitant amount of money such an event will cost you....

Even if Bungie’s upcoming open world sci-fi shooter Destiny doesn’t end up living up to all our expectations upon its release, it will at least have served as a fertile source for postcard photos. Since Destiny was officially unveiled last year we’ve seen literally hundreds of high-definition images showing concept art and screenshots of what the Earth might look like after the collapse of a golden age of technology....

There are more than 100 strains of HPV, and types that do not clear up on their own can eventually lead to cancer. It’s well known that HPV can cause cervical cancer, but research also shows that HPV can cause other types of cancer, which may possibly include breast cancer. Breast cancer affects one in eight women in the United States. Most breast cancers are invasive, meaning they spread into surrounding healthy tissue....

While the results of the competition haven’t been posted yet, it would appear that the band’s performance at least paid off in getting the attention of Destiny’s developer, Bungie. After viewing a recording of the performance on the marching band’s official YouTube Channel, Bungie sent out a tweet showing how impressed they were with the musical tribute to their game. [HTML1] Choosing to perform music from Destiny was a fun choice for a marching band, but it’s also not the first time that a marching band has performed video game music....

By the end of the night, the senior forward had not only successfully dunked during a game, but had thrown down an alley-oop and shattered a backboard. He did it all in one play. Spann said he suffered a cut on his neck but was so amped up from the play that he didn't even feel it. From the News & Observer: “I don’t feel anything right now,” Spann said with a smile....

Higuain scored six league goals in the first half of the Serie A season but his form over those 15 games saw the Argentina striker often criticised. The 31-year-old swapped Italy for England last month after Chelsea agreed a loan deal with parent club Juventus, Milan letting the forward go after agreeing the transfer of Krzysztof Piatek from Genoa. After failing to score in his first two Chelsea matches, Higuain looked sharp against Huddersfield Town as he scored a brace against in the 5-0 victory....

Higuain hobbled out of last weekend’s 1-0 victory over Udinese in Serie A with the problem and head coach Gennaro Gattuso is not ready to risk the striker in Europe, with one eye on Sunday’s clash with Juventus. Patrick Cutrone started in Udine alongside Higuain and he is hoping his strike partner will not be sidelined for too long as Milan look to extend their three-game winning streak. “I’m waiting for him [Higuain],” Cutrone told Sky Sport Italia....

Toxicity in Overwatch is as frustrating as it is in any other game, and sadly, it is also prevalent. As such, everyone that has tried the game has likely run into a rude teammate or enemy, with said players damaging the experience of playing the hero shooter. This makes a recent clip from Reddit user pjaguar even more entertaining, as the Redditor manages to get revenge on a rude enemy....

Players can apply multiple mods to Skyrim and feel like they’re playing a different game altogether. One Skyrim gamer played with 300 mods that improved the combat, game physics, soundtrack, and graphics. Skyrim is made on Creation Engine, which is outdated compared to modern game engines like RAGE and Unreal Engine 5. Naturally, most Skyrim mods are focused on enhancing graphics and texture quality. However, some gamers play with atypical mods, like the Reddit user who has installed a Skyrim mod that enables guns, making it a shooter game....

Speaking to The Argus Leader ed board in South Dakota today, Hillary Clinton cited a few historical reasons for staying in the race–including one that seems to suggest… well, read on: My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it....
