Then, he turned Jones, a goalie with 34 career starts, into another first-rounder in 2016 and unsigned NCAA prospect Sean Kuraly.

Quintana opened up the offense during the frame, landing punches, knees and a spinning back elbow that viciously ricocheted off the back of Cannetti’s head. But it was all part of Cannetti’s painful, yet effective, strategy Friday night at Combate Tahoe to eat Quintana’s onslaught, have him use all his energy and shoot for a takedown when he got too close.

France is also expelling “many” Russian diplomats, with Agence France Presse (AFP) reporting that the nation will boot 35.

Russian authorities have denied the allegations of Russian soldiers killing civilians in Bucha as politicians from around the globe have condemned the attacks, and claimed that civilians may have been killed by Ukrainian shelling of the city....

They have the worst record in the NBA (5-20), have no true superstar players and play in a market that is not appealing to free agents. What's worse, soon-to-be NBA commissioner Adam Silver has stated that the team will not be able to play in the Bradley Center past 2017. Earlier this week, Herb Kohl, the Bucks' owner and president, announced a plan to broaden team ownership, strengthen the franchise and keep the team in Milwaukee....

The discrimination can be found in the $390 billion section dealing with expanded child care and universal pre-kindergarten. A big chunk of that money is reserved for states, which can use it to distribute grants that “improve the quality and supply of child care services” through remodeling, repairs and renovations.
