At one point, it looked Burmistrov might be the type of building block centre a nominally rebuilding franchise like the Atlanta Thrasher, eventually the Winnipeg Jets, could build around for years to come. By his third season in the organization, though, Burmistrov had fallen out of favour with the Jets and was on the outs in every sense. What one might generously describe as a difference in philosophy between Burmistrov and then-Jets head coach Claude Noel paved the way for a return flight to the KHL’s Kazan Ak-Bars for the 2013-14 season....
Tele2 Arena seats around 30,000 people and will be the first stadium show since UFC 129 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in April of 2011. Gustafsson who last competed in March when he defeated Jimi Manuwa by second round TKO is excited to fight in front of his countrymen. “This is going to be an epic event,” Gustafsson said. “I want more than 30,000 fans to come and witness me win on January 24....
“Jay Jacobs absolutely should resign over his disgusting comments comparing a Black single mother who won a historic election to David Duke,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Tuesday morning. “India Walton is the Democratic nominee for Mayor of Buffalo. No amount of racist misogyny from the old boys’ club is going to change that,” the Democratic congresswoman added. Jacobs apologized for his comparison on Monday. Jacobs made the remarks when asked by a Spectrum News reporter why he hadn’t endorsed Walton’s candidacy....
Arbery, a 25-year-old black man, was shot and killed in Brunswick, Georgia while going for what neighbors have said was a routine jog on February 23.

“I have never seen the skin wrapped around the skull like this, but I know that he is not going to give up,” Navalny’s wife, Yulia Navalnaya, wrote in an Instagram post, as translated by Google, after she visited her husband at a penal colony outside Moscow on Tuesday. “He writes funny posts on Instagram…. But after meeting with Alexei, I worry about him even more.” Navalny was arrested January 17 and is serving a two and a half year sentence for violating the terms of his probation while he was in Germany recovering from a nerve-agent poisoning he blames on the Kremlin....

Algeria’s most recent international game ended in a 1-1 stalemate against the Republic of Congo. Islam Slimani gave the African champions the lead in just six minutes, but Congo equalized through Cédric Bakambu in the 26th minute. Meanwhile, Colombia could only salvage a goalless draw against their continental rivals Chile when the two met each other on 12th of October. Colombia have drawn all of their last four games and will be hopeful that they can get back to winning ways during this international break, but Algeria may prove to be a difficult proposition for them....
In Lucky, the 1999 memoir by acclaimed author Alice Sebold, she details her rape when she was a student at Syracuse University in 1981. Last week, Anthony Broadwater was exonerated for the crime having served 16 years in prison. Lucky was in the process of being made into a film when executive producer Tim Mucciante became suspicious about discrepancies between the book and the script. “I started poking around and trying to figure out what really happened here,” Mucciante told the Associated Press last week....
You sound so different on the new album. I am different. I’ve learned more. I’m a better person. I’m a more focused person. I’m a more honest person. I’m a more easygoing person. That’s a lot of change. Is your name still Alicia Keys? I’m the new and improved version of her. But vocally, a lot of people say I sound like I drank a lot of whisky. Speaking of your name, I read your last name isn’t really Keys....

The decision comes after news that the group expects an estimated £90m loss this financial year, brought about in part by a change in consumer buying habits in the phone market. The Group explicitly stated that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hasn’t directly had an impact on its business as of yet. The company plans to close its 531 dedicated Carphone Warehouse stores across the UK by April 3 2020 (the 70 stores and the wider business in the Republic of Ireland will remain unaffected) and hopes to absorb up to 40% (approximately 1900) of the displaced staff into larger Currys PCWorld stores, where internal Carphone Warehouse sites (pictured above) will continue to operate....

Bethesda is in an interesting position with its original franchises. The company is in-between mainline Elder Scrolls games. Moreover, it has two separate MMOs set in its two main series, Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls: Online currently running. In general, the company’s central focus seems to be on these live service versions of its prestige series. Arguably, Starfield serves as an exciting jolt into creative space that is otherwise stagnant in terms of new IP....

According to Polygon, an early section of Quantum Break contains a TV that players can interact with, not unlike the TV sets found in Remedy’s previous titles. This particular television plays a live action trailer for Alan Wake’s Return, but not enough information is available at this time to determine exactly what Alan Wake’s Return is. When one considers that Quantum Break has a companion TV show, it seems like a distinct possibility that Alan Wake’s Return could be a television adaptation of the game....

Albon looked set to pass Hamilton on the outside at turn four and move into second place with 11 laps remaining but spun into the gravel after the two made contact. Hamilton went on to cross the line second at the Red Bull Ring behind Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas, though a five-second time penalty for the shunt resulted in him being demoted to fourth. Albon cut a disconsolate figure after the opening race of the Formula One season and felt a sense of deja vu, having missed out on a first podium finish following a collision with Hamilton in Brazil last year....
