The podcaster took to messaging app Telegram on Tuesday in response to an NBC News report that said far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos had created a “trap” for Trump.

Is this justice? Europe’s politicians don’t think so. Last week 77 members of the European Parliament petitioned to stop such barbaric death sentences, and Hussaini also launched her own appeal.

Two goals from Ahmed Musa ensured Nigeria remain in the hunt for a place in the knockout stages as they saw off Iceland in Volgograd. Gernot Rohr’s side now know that a victory over Argentina in Saint Petersburg will be enough for them to reach the last 16 for the fourth time in their history. And though a defeat to the Albiceleste would confirm their elimination, a draw would mean they require Croatia to do them a favour against Iceland....

As a school learning design specialist, I know that other issues compound this problem. One of them is the fact that we face an incredibly indeterminant future for our present students. It’s common knowledge that many of the jobs we’ve expected students to have in the past will not continue to exist in the future. Much of that reality is due to the effects on society from an exponentially accelerating dominance of technology in every area of our culture....

On the heels of Adam Wainwright's gem against the Pirates in Game 5 of one NLDS and Justin Verlander's eight brilliant innings against the A's in Game 5 of an ALDS, the opener of the NLCS offered up the first extra-inning game of the postseason. – Box score | Play by play | Schedule | Photos | Ethier plays And, it was awesome.

WorldCom ($3.85 billion in possible fraud) and Xerox ($1.9 billion in inflated revenue) trounced the defending champion Rite Aid ($1.6 billion in bad accounting, reported two years ago). By comparison, Enron looks like a piker, scoring a mere $1.2 billion in the deception game. I’m not convinced that the CEO scandals are keeping investors out of stocks....
