Messi: I’ll stay at Barcelona for as long as they want me The 27-year-old has signed a new three-and-a-half-year deal to commit his future to San Siro until the end of the 2019-2020 campaign. Bonaventura has played a key role in Milan’s progress under Vincenzo Montella this season, having only missed two games in all competitions, while he scored the equaliser before converting in the penalty shootout as they beat Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana in December....

“We are absolutely heartbroken to announce that we must cancel Bonnaroo,” the festival organizers wrote Tuesday on Twitter. “While this weekend’s weather looks outstanding, currently Centeroo is waterlogged in many areas, the ground is incredibly saturated on our tollbooth paths, and the campgrounds are flooded to the point that we are unable to drive in or park vehicles safely.” “We have done everything in our power to try to keep the show moving forward,” the tweet thread continued, “but Mother Nature has dealt us a tremendous amount of rain over the past 24 hours, and we have run out of options to try to make the event happen safely and in a way that lives up to the Bonnaroo experience....

Bonucci moved to San Siro for a fee of €40 million in the summer, and was immediately handed the captain’s armband at the club. However, Milan have endured a nightmare start to the season and currently sit eighth in Serie A, 18 points behind leaders Napoli, having sacked manager Vincenzo Montella and replaced him with former midfielder Gennaro Gattuso. While Milan are insistent that they will not sell any first-team players over the winter period, it is understood that intermediaries are keeping tabs on whether the Italy international could be lured abroad....

The repeated refrain ‘Where are you now?’ will resonate with Bonucci even more than usual, with the AC Milan captain having been left in a state of shock by the sudden death of his Italy team-mate and good friend Davide Astori on Sunday. He remembered how many laughs they had shared together, how often ‘Grande Asto’ had supported him on and off the field. “Come on, Leo, do a sweeping pass like only you know how’ was what you kept repeating to me during tactical training sessions," he revealed in an open letter to the Fiorentina centre-half....

Chiellini missed Italy’s 2018 World Cup qualifying match against Macedonia in the week because of bruising on his right calf. The 32-year-old center back suffered another muscle injury during a training session earlier Saturday. Bonucci, who had initially been handed the opportunity to rest by coach Massimiliano Allegri, has been called up as his replacement. No time frame has been given for Chiellini’s return, with a Champions League encounter against Lyon on Tuesday followed by a meeting with AC Milan next weekend....

In the three years following the Italy international’s arrival at AC Milan, the club had never been protagonists in the transfer market. Until now. So far, the Rossoneri’s new Chinese owners have signed 11 players, at an approximate cost of €208.65 million, as well as surprisingly managing to persuade Gianluigi Donnarumma down to a new contract after the teenage goalkeeping sensation had originally refused to sign an extension. Indeed, Milan’s shrewdest move in the market was arguably re-signing Donnarumma’s brother, Antonio, which undoubtedly played a massive part in what felt like a family-driven decision to stay at San Siro....

Torres suffers horrific head injury The centre-back was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City and Chelsea last year but no move materialised and he signed a contract extension until 2021 in December. However, the 29-year-old’s future has again come under scrutiny following a blazing touchline row with coach Massimiliano Allegri that saw him dropped from the squad for the 2-0 Champions League victory away to Porto. Although Bonucci insists that he and Allegri have buried the hatchet, he has suggested that the club will have the final decision on any possible transfer amid links with Chelsea and Manchester City....

It will get a lot of praise (indeed, it already has from three Nobel Laureates), because it is a work of staggering ambition—aiming to explain why liberty has or has not existed at every moment in time in every geography in the world. It will be widely quoted because it offers a stinging critique of Trumpism and capitalism as practiced in America today, along with a stern warning that, “Yes, despotism could happen here....

LAS VEGAS – College football season win totals have yet to be posted at Las Vegas sports books, but thanks to Chris Andrews from AgainstTheNumber.com , we get a first look at what we might see on digital boards this summer. Andrews used the same process to make his numbers as he did when he was running Nevada sports books for over 30 years, but got into it much sooner to help college football bettors and bookmakers get a head start on the 2015 season....

Super Crunchers: Why Thinking-by- Numbers Is the New Way to Be Smart by Ian Ayres With the shift from old-time pen-and-paper record-keeping to digitalinformation management largely completed in most of the world, humans now sit atop a vast and ever-growing mountain of statistics. And although data-driven stock trading has come in for harsh criticism as markets have turned volatile, Yale Law School professor Ayres argues that in the right hands—and brains—the data explosion actually enables better decision making in fields as various as medical diagnosis, airline-ticket pricing and Hollywood screenwriting....

Renko is an unwilling hero. He isn’t particularly idealistic, or if he is, his idealism is all wrapped up in his professionalism. He can’t stand to do anything less than a thorough job. So, near the beginning of “Stalin’s Ghost,” he comes across a crime scene—a man face down at his kitchen table with a cleaver in his neck and a hysterical, blood-spattered wife in the bedroom. Detectives are already on the scene, the woman has confessed, and yet Renko can’t help asking questions....

Toobin, a legal analyst at CNN and The New Yorker, is the third author this year to dish on the inner workings of the Supreme Court. Last winter Jan Crawford Greenburg of ABC News (“Supreme Conflict”) and Jeffrey Rosen of The New Republic (“The Supreme Court”) also made personality studies of the justices and their relationships with each other. The conceit, usually unspoken, is that inside dirt on their rapport helps us understand the court’s jurisprudence....

Esiason was asked who would be the first selection in a recent appearance on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show.” His choice would be the quarterback the Patriots selected 15th overall. “Well, I think Mac Jones would be [the No. 1 pick]," Esiason said. “I think everybody sees that.” NFL WEEK 3 PICKS: Against the spread | Straight up Jones has certainly had the most success of the rookie quarterbacks so far....

In 1992 Cane began trying to awaken spores found in the guts of extinct bees, 25 million to 40 million years old. A spore is a form of just-barely life in which there is no metabolism, no DNA activity, no respiration; the oldest spore ever revived was 70 years old. Getting nowhere fast, last September Cane called in specialists on ancient climates: re-creating the warmth and acidity of 25 million years ago might wake up the bacteria....

Tuchel rues loss of Reus to injury The Portuguese outfit were 1-0 victors in Lisbon a fortnight ago and will travel to Germany in the knowledge that a goal will put them in a strong position to qualify for the next round. Dortmund have the attacking talent to blow teams away on their day, however, and will hope the speed and exuberance of their young squad outweighs their inexperience....

Work Around the World While there is no maximum amount of hours an adult can work in a week, the average full-time employee in the United States works about 37.5 hours a week.

The Eagles’ spring game did not have a touchdown and ended in a 6-2 score — with traditional scoring. MORE: Saturday storylines There wasn’t any odd system to award or subtract points for defensive plays, either; this was an actual exhibition football game with 11 players on offense and 11 players on defense, as the Eagles first- and second-team units squared off Saturday at Alumni Stadium. The game featured a safety and two field goals, with the Maroon team beating the White team for the 6-2 victory....

In June 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration tapped Altaf Lal, an American of Indian origin with sterling public-health credentials, to solve what appeared to be a diplomacy problem. The FDA’s relations with Indian regulators were in tatters, one month after India’s largest drug company, Ranbaxy, pleaded guilty to seven felonies related to falsifying quality data for generic drugs it was selling in the United States. Ranbaxy seemed to stand alone as an overseas drug company that had broken U....
