Talent recognition was one of his characteristic traits. Young and unestablished players often looked up to the Scot as a father figure and counted on him to take them to stardom. Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, for example, was a relatively young and unknown player when the veteran spotted him. What he has since achieved at both club and international level is plain for all to see. Given the monetary restrictions that were in place at Old Trafford back then, Ferguson often looked at signing comparatively cheaper players....

According to WAVY, Mary Archer passed away last month, leaving her daughters, Jennifer Taylor and Jennetta Archer, in mourning. Eventually, on September 7, the sisters gathered at Hunter’s Funeral Home in Ahoskie, North Carolina for their mother’s viewing. Looking in the casket, however, they instantly saw that something was wrong—they saw a stranger’s body, dressed in their mother’s clothing. “There’s no similarity in the person. Their size was way off,” explained Jennetta Archer to WAVY....

The increase in such violence began after the leak in May of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision of its intent to overturn the Roe v. Wade ruling that since 1973 had granted a nationwide right to abortion. Among the targets have been churches, medical clinics and crisis pregnancy centers—which try to encourage pregnant women to keep unborn children. The anti-abortion lobby and its allies in Congress are furious that no perpetrators of attacks on crisis pregnancy centers have been arrested even as the Justice Department has announced a slew of prosecutions against those accused of attacking abortion clinics....

Scenes so unprecedented grasped the nation’s collective attention, leaving those who looked on through their screens with lasting memories and opinions of what occurred. But while many share a common experience in viewing—and then reliving—the events through ongoing media coverage, there remains a split in views about what happened. Emblematic of the nation’s divide is the split in Congress, where lawmakers have failed to settle upon a bipartisan path to investigating what occurred despite their shared experience of fleeing for safety as the violent mob broke into the Capitol building....

Taking place across five matchdays and culminating in mid-March, the annual tournament sees England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France and Italy battling it out. Wales is the reigning champion, but a heavy opening-day loss to Ireland put the Dragons on the back foot this time around. This year’s action will end with a blockbuster clash between current top two France and England at the iconic Stade de France on the outskirts of Paris....

The delayed start means the Welsh have a shorter turn around before facing two-time champion Australia on Sunday in a game that could determine who wins the group. Australia opened on Saturday with comeback win over Fiji. The defending champion New Zealand All Blacks had the toughest opening assignment, starting with a 23-13 win over South Africa that continued their unbeaten streak in World Cup group games. Among the other leading contenders, Ireland was too good for Scotland and England beat Tonga in group games on Sunday....

The remote Siberian coal-mining town is the home of Russia midfielder Alexander Golovin, whose key role in the team’s run to the World Cup quarterfinals has made him a national star. Golovin was tireless when Russia beat Spain on penalties in the round of 16 on Sunday, keeping his opponents under pressure all the way through extra time. “The streets were empty and there was no one. Everyone was watching the game,” said Pavel Ivanov, the government official who oversees the local sports school where Golovin learned the game....

As is often the case with exhaustion, the clues were there all along, but no one outside his family had any reason to slow Rudenstine down. ““I’ve never seen anyone work harder than Neil,’’ said Bill Kovach, curator of Harvard’s Nieman Foundation and a former New York Times editor. ““He looked tired, but nothing unusual,’’ said Harvard football coach Tim Murphy, who hosted the president at a team dinner on Nov....

RELATED: Tactics Ogre: Reborn - Most Important Choices In The Story Tactics Ogre: Reborn also has tons of optional content, going from massive dungeons, shrines to optional story missions and character recruitment that can be easily missed. Coupled with this is the option to recruit different classes, and grind weapons and crafting materials through these side quests. While side quests are obviously optional, there’s a few that shouldn’t be skipped....

After so many games with 2015 release dates took the stage at E3, it’s no surprise that talk of alpha and beta tests were more prominent at the event than ever this year. Although Star Wars: Battlefront didn’t offer up access to an alpha or beta, plenty of other games (including Gears of War: Ultimate Edition) did. According to EA, the wait for early access to Star Wars: Battlefront may be over for some lucky fans far earlier than expected....

After the news broke about the Cleveland Browns quarterback, Watson was suspended without pay for six games for sexual misconduct, Redd shared this tweet about his suspension. “I got suspended for a whole year from the NFL for weed.. but sexual misconduct gets you 6 games.. make it make sense,” Redd tweeted on August 1. The athlete has received over 600,000 likes and 68,000 retweets. One Twitter user commented, “Oh so now you’re aggrieved somehow?...

The Korean rating attributed the publisher as Uniana, a firm that frequently publishes Konami games in Korea and also produces amusement arcade machines. At the time, the rating seemed to be connected to some leaked images from earlier in the year that sparked Silent Hill rumors. Konami has since announced several Silent Hill projects, none of which bear the title The Short Message. RELATED: Konami Is Hiring for What Could Be Another Silent Hill Game...

Silent Hill: Townfall hides secrets in its trailer that fans have since been able to decode, but one thing that remains a mystery is what kind of game Silent Hill: Townfall will be regarding its story and gameplay. It has been speculated that the game is supposed to be an origin story for Silent Hill, and with recent information on what engine the game will be developed with, players have more pieces to the Townfall puzzle....

Real Madrid injuries, suspensions and line-up vs Celta Vigo Griezmann was on target in Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat to Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, with Los Rojiblancos increasingly dependant on his ability to fire up front. The 25-year-old’s compatriot Gameiro last scored a league goal in the 3-0 win at Osasuna at the end of November, while Torres’ top-flight drought stretches back to a brace in the 5-0 thrashing of Sporting Gijon last September....

Joao Felix joined Atletico for €126million in pre-season, coming in as the replacement for Antoine Griezmann after his move to Barcelona. The 19-year-old attacker impressed in the close-season, particularly when getting a goal and two assists in the remarkable 7-3 friendly win over rivals Real Madrid in July. He has had a slightly slower start to life in competitive action for Atletico, scoring twice and setting up one goal in seven LaLiga outings, but Simeone was impressed with his display in Moscow....

Biles withdrew from the Tuesday event after a subpar performance in Sunday’s first round. The other three team members (Biles noted that, by rule, she could not be replaced in the lineup) scored well enough to earn a silver medal. At first, it was thought Biles exited with a foot injury, but she said after the final that her “mental [was] not there.” Her statement led people to respond that she was soft and selfish and just flat quit, among other criticisms....

Make sure the socket base is made to use with 100-watt lightbulbs. If the power rating is too strong or weak, then the test may not work. The light won’t turn on if the outlet you’re testing isn’t connected to power. If the light is dimmer than your first test, then your outlet has earthing on it, but it may be faulty. Contact an electrician to inspect your electrical system to find the source of the problem....

Don’t slide the pen tip beneath the hair, as you don’t want to get any ink on your paddle brush. If there’s a lot of hair stuck in your brush, you might not be able to pull it all to the brush’s surface at one time. If this is the case, feel free to work in chunks. Use safety scissors if you’d prefer to use something smaller. Don’t worry about exact measurements—just make sure that both bowls are mostly full....
