The incident took place on Monday as an Ethiopian Airlines flight was approaching its destination in Addis Ababa, the capital and largest city in Ethiopia. As air traffic control at the city’s airport attempted to contact the flight at around its point of descent, they could get no response and the plane continued on, according to a BBC News report. As it turned out, both pilots at the helm of the plane had fallen asleep, causing the plane to coast by its point of descent....

Mexico’s biggest stars are resting or preparing for the upcoming season after finishing fourth in the Confederations Cup, leaving the new generation to fight for regional supremacy when the Gold Cup begins this weekend. Osorio suspended six games One man who is not on our list, but perhaps should be, is Luis Pompilio Paez. Osorio’s assistant and friend was preparing the group for the competition but now, with Osorio’s suspension, will guide the team throughout the Gold Cup....

Gary Medel and Miranda will be banned for the contest against fellow Champions League hopefuls Roma at San Siro if they are booked against Bologna on Sunday. But head coach Pioli insists such factors will have no bearing on the side he selects to face Roberto Donadoni’s men.

Pique was reportedly set to miss up to a month of action due to a knee injury sustained during Sunday’s La Liga draw with Catalan rivals Espanyol, when he headed the equaliser in a fiery encounter. The 31-year-old was criticised for putting his finger to his lips while celebrating in front of opposition fans, having previously drawn their ire for referring to the club as “Espanyol de Cornella”. Pique came through training on Wednesday and was subsequently named in the Barca squad to face Valencia at Mestalla....

This is the difference between a low-payroll team and a high-payroll team. When Pittsburgh made the decision to part ways with Davis, general manager Neal Huntington told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, “we’ve essentially committed to Pedro (at first base),” after Alvarez led the National League in errors at third base for three consecutive seasons. Josh Harrison, who hit .315/.347/.490 and finished ninth in the MVP vote, is moving to the hot corner full time after playing a variety of positions and basically ousting Alvarez from the spot....

Nine-year-old Alejandro Miszan was playing with friends near his home when he was mauled by a pit bull. The Gardaí (the national police service of Ireland) and emergency services were called to the scene and the dog was later put down. In a statement, the Gardaí told Newsweek: “A child suffered serious injuries after being allegedly attacked by a dog. The child was later airlifted to the CHI (Children’s Health Ireland) at Crumlin in Dublin where he is undergoing treatment for serious injuries....

With less than six minutes to go in regulation, Pitt found itself at the 1-yard line staring at a 17-10 deficit. The Panthers tried to pass three times, but were unable to reach the end zone. Instead of leaving the offensive unit on the field for a fourth-down attempt, Narduzzi sent out kicker Alex Kessman for a 19-yard field-goal attempt to cut Penn State’s lead down to four. Just one problem… DOINK....

Plans for a new Pittsburgh Stadium first surfaced in 1958, showing a multipurpose facility built on top of the Monongahela River. Even today (rendering via Brookline Connection), it still has that exotic futuristic look popularized on the old cartoon “The Jetsons....

In a new report by the Associated Press (AP), nine women have come forward, accusing Domingo of sexually harassing them, with another six women saying that Domingo made them uncomfortable with “suggestive overtures,” including repeated requests to go out on dates. The report says the incidents took place over three decades, starting in the late 1980s. According to the AP, Domingo put his hand down one accuser’s skirt. Three other women accused him of forcing kisses on their lips....

“The Supreme Court just overturned Roe v. Wade, ending our constitutional right to abortion. We know you may be feeling a lot of things right now — hurt, anger, confusion. Whatever you feel is OK. We’re here with you — and we’ll never stop fighting for you,” the organization, which provides sexual and reproductive health care across the U.S., wrote. In another statement provided to Newsweek, Alexis McGill Johnson, the president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said that with the decision, the Supreme Court “has now officially given politicians permission to control what we do with our bodies, deciding that we can no longer be trusted to determine the course for our own lives....

The Dutchman is just the latest player to make the move from Old Trafford to Goodison Park, or vice versa, over the years. Indeed, some players have moved between the clubs more than once, and the list of players who have represented both clubs stretches from the most well-known players to a few names that may surprise readers. Here’s a list of the notable names who have worn both the Everton blue and Manchester United red....

In the study, the scientists showed composite photos of men to 39 Japanese women. During the one week of their menstrual cycle when the women could conceive, they preferred men with rugged, stereotypically masculine features, the team reports in the current issue of the journal Nature. The other three weeks of the month, when the odds of getting pregnant are low, the women went for rounder, more “feminine” faces. The explanation, suggests psychologist David Perrett of the University of St....

And yet. There are clear signs Powell wants a substantive role in the party. Intimates say the general is puzzled that Republican leaders haven’t called on him to do more high-profile events – although the GOP chiefs promise he’ll have plenty of prime time at the convention in August. For Republicans dreaming of Powell, the San Diego timing couldn’t be better. His best-selling autobiography comes out in paperback in July....

From the clear Heisman Trophy favorite at No. 1 (TCU’s Trevone Boykin), to the one player who doesn’t nearly get the publicity he deserves (Navy QB Keenan Reynolds), we break down college football’s best. The list can and will change after spring practice, and into the summer offseason with personnel moves. Most notably: if Braxton Miller, who is not currently on this list, transfers to another school, he’ll immediately be part of the group....

Estrada hopes to repair the damage this week in his first face-to-face meetings with the reclusive MILF leader, Salamat Hashim. First he’ll have to win some respect. Only seven months into his six-year term, Estrada’s Mindanao policy has been to make each blooper bigger than the last. He has called off peace talks one day only to reverse himself the next, boasted at one point that the 22-year-old rebellion would end “within a week” and vowed that the rebels would achieve their goal of an independent Mindanao “over my dead body....

Older adults are often at higher risk for pneumonia, and the infection may be more severe than it would be for younger people. This article discusses pneumonia in older adults, including prevention, symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment. Symptoms of Pneumonia in Older Adults Despite a serious case of pneumonia, older people—especially those with a weak immune system or other illnesses—may have milder symptoms. Older people may not have a fever with pneumonia....

Indeed, this correspondent was one of those believing the Argentine to be a closer fit to what a United manager should be. Towards the summer of 2016, Pochettino had got Tottenham playing an expressive brand of football based around the abilities of young, local talents and complemented by signings who were as savvy as they were silky. Spurs were about to finish third in the Premier League and, while it felt like a disappointment to some having spent much of the run-in challenging eventual champions Leicester City, that was the best placement for the club since finishing second in 1963 during arguably the greatest period in their history....

Before Arsenal beat Chelsea to book a place in the EFL Cup final on Wednesday, Wenger appeared to aim a dig at both Liverpool and Tottenham. The Frenchman suggested the media “celebrate teams who haven’t been in a final for 25 years - and kill us”, even though Arsenal have won three FA Cups in the last four years. Wenger’s comments were widely assumed to be a barb aimed at Pochettino and Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp, both of whom are yet to win a trophy in English football....
