In his second spell back at Chelsea he has been relatively frugal, though he brought in the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matic and Diego Costa, the club has offset the costs of bringing in these quality players by making some high quality sales as well. This transfer window has seen a subdued Chelsea whose most expensive signing so far in the summer has been the £8 million acquisition of Asmir Begovic from Stoke City....
The 50-year-old was taken into custody on April 6 by officers serving in the Juvenile Division, Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri said last week that he was placing a hold on Biden’s nomination of Alejandro Mayorkas, the former deputy secretary of the DHS during former President Barack Obama’s administration.

The announcement, reported by The New York Times, comes as global vaccine distribution has slowed down, worrying organizations like COVAX that the halt in production will make it worse. “We strive to improve human health and have worked tirelessly to forge partnerships and build a global manufacturing network across four continents to produce our COVID-19 vaccine,” wrote the company in a statement....
The wait for the next time likely won’t be as long. Next year’s ballot includes two first-time candidates and one holdover who are strong candidates to be inducted into Cooperstown during the 2015 ceremonies. Top first-time candidates Randy Johnson: With 303 wins, five Cy Youngs and 4,875 strikeouts, the Big Unit is a lock for immortality. He won’t be unanimous (nobody ever is), but look for him to join Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan and Greg Maddux among pitchers getting 97 percent or more of the vote....
Viewers of TSN in Canada, however, did. According to video of the incident, which was replayed on several sports shows this week, things indeed got tense and heated between the two drivers after their late-race run-in on the track.

Despite heavy pressure from the Bush administration, the central bank has been slow to bring interest rates down. Fed chairman Alan Greenspan has worried that inflation, which ran 6.1 percent last year, could get out of hand if the economy moves too fast. Investors have been nervous, too: although short-term interest rates have tumbled since December, rates on longterm bonds, which are the key to everything from mortgages to business investment, have barely budged....
Almost halfway through the first season of his 10-year, $100-million deal, the Raiders are 1-5. Their only win came against last year’s winless NFL team, the Browns, aided by a controversial call in Oakland’s favor. They arrived late in London to play the Seahawks on Sunday; one could argue they failed to show up at any point in a lifeless, 27-3 loss that would have been a shutout had Gruden not called upon his team to kick a meaningless field goal in the fourth quarter....
