During the announcement of the votes, the president of the General Assembly was interrupted by clapping as some countries celebrated the controversial election. Venezuela beat out Costa Rica in its region by nine votes. In the days running up to the election, high-profile organization such as Human Rights Watch campaigned strongly against Venezuela’s selection, hosting events and using the hashtag #DefeatVenezuela on social media. This was due to U.N. investigations alleging serious human rights violations under the President Nicolás Maduro....

The second “o” is critical. Back in the 1960s, when London graffiti proclaimed “Clapton is God,” the brilliant British guitarist was descending into a personal hell. Eric Clapton traded a heroin addiction for alcoholism, suffered disastrous love affairs, contemplated suicide while armed with a bottle of vodka, a gram of blow and a shotgun. The guitar deity has long since surrendered to a higher power; at 62, Clapton has 20 years of sobriety, a happy marriage and three young daughters....

It will be the first time in Giroux’s career he is not suiting up in a Flyers uniform. The 34-year-old played in 1,000 games for the Flyers, celebrating the end of his tenure in Philadelphia with a ceremony on Thursday for hitting the 1K threshold. The Panthers are getting an elite forward who excels at both ends of the ice. Giroux adds even more depth to an already stacked forward group as the Panthers are clearly going all-in this season in the hopes of lifting the franchise’s first Stanley Cup....

The Gears of War trilogy designer, colloquially known to the gaming public as Cliffy B, has taken strong stances in the past on everything from on-disc DLC to console generation lifespans. Shaped by his experience at the helm of one of the industry’s marquee studios, his perspective often bears a distinct pragmatism, an acceptance for what he sees as the cutthroat realities facing today’s publishers and developers in what’s ultimately, sifting through the Locust viscera and silencing the Lancer chainsaws, a business environment....

The result is the oddly paced “In the Valley of Elah,” which takes its name from the Biblical place where David slew Goliath. It is the story of a father’s search to find his AWOL son’s killer. As a murder mystery, it falls short. But as a study of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the all-too-common consequence of combat, Haggis gets it right. “He captured what psychological trauma looks like after the fact,” says Barbara Romberg, a Washington-area clinical psychologist who founded Give an Hour—a nonprofit group launched in 2005 to encourage mental-health providers to volunteer their time to help returning veterans and their families....

Gephardt (+) Old CW: Congress-bashed. New CW: Good soldier, GOP-basher. Mr.Inside gets out. Bradley (+/-) Top choice has said no, but the dream will never die. Swish at the buzzer? Cuomo (-) All-Machiavelli dream team; but one stab in the back too many. Go straight to the Court. A woman (-) Bill has lust in his heart to be PC prez. But can’t take the risk. Wait till next time....

Part of that should stand as a credit to the way Memphis defends, but it is also a pattern the Thunder sometimes get into, when it looks as though the gameplan is to either give it to Kevin Durant and let him force up a shot or give it to Russell Westbrook and let him force up a shot. Neither were particularly efficient in the first round. That’s not going to fly against a Clippers team that is both explosive and balanced on offense, putting up an average of 110....

Nojima describes the original depiction of Cloud as “cool and stylish,” though it might be more appropriate to say he was distant and aloof based on how rare his interactions with other characters were. That will be changing in Final Fantasy 7 Remake as Cloud’s personality and relationships become much more of a focus. And the result is that maybe Cloud isn’t as cool as fans may have first thought....

It’s a tough break, the kind with which last year’s No. 1 overall pick, Jadeveon Clowney, is too familiar. Fowler, the third-overall selection regarded by many as the best defensive player in his class, will miss the entirety of his rookie campaign. Clowney, heralded a year ago as a once-in-a-blue-moon talent, sat nearly as much in 2014 with knee injuries.

Sources tell Goal that Dos Santos has reached an agreement to join his brother, Giovani, with the Galaxy.

In the recent episode of WWE SmackDown, Corbin brought up a man in a dog costume to mock Roman Reigns. The segment was perhaps not very well liked by some WWE fans and was not well received in the internet wrestling community. On WWE Backstage, Punk didn’t hold back in what he considered to be bad creative. He said, Punk is staying true to his word and calling it like he sees it....

Navarro’s response was prompted by Rubio’s tweeting what seemed to be a defense of the president, who has been heavily criticized recently in the wake of an impeachment inquiry into his alleged inappropriate request of the Trump of Ukraine to uncover dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. “Two things are true,” Rubio wrote in a tweet on October 24. “There’s only been ONE man EVER who was always right & deserves blind loyalty & his name was Jesus....

Warsaw, June 17 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Russian football coach Dick Advocaat is proud of his players despite the team being knocked out of Euro 2012 in his last game in charge, he said Sunday. Greece scored the only goal of the game in the 45th minute when Sergei Ignashevich misjudged the flight of the ball on a Greek throw-in, allowing Sotiris Karagounis a one-on-one chance against goalkeeper Vyacheslav Malafeev. Combined with the Czech Republic’s 1-0 win over Poland, the result was enough to send the Czechs and Greeks through from Group A at Russia’s expense....

Australia manager Van Marwijk endured a miserable start to his reign as the Socceroos were routed 4-1 by Norway on Friday. The Dutch coach, who has taken over from Ange Postecoglou, saw Jackson Irvine give his side a 19th minute lead in Oslo.
