In 1979 they escaped to England, and then to the United States....

Four days on from leaving Shaw out of his matchday 18 for the 0-0 draw at home to West Brom and questioning the 21-year-old’s professionalism, a second-half injury to Ashley Young forced him into the fray with United 1-0 down to Phil Jagielka’s 22nd minute opener. The former Southampton youngster was in the thick of the action in stoppage time when his rasping strike was handled in the six-yard box by Ashley Williams, bringing a red card for the Everton centre-back before Zlatan Ibrahimovic converted the resulting penalty....

In the DCU lineup, Shazam! Fury of the Gods is the next big film expected to release next year. However, a few months before the film’s premiere, the hierarchy of power changed at DC, and Henry Cavill’s Superman and Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam had to bid farewell to the DCU.

Now that Phillips’s new album, “Martinis and Bikinis,” is in stores, it’ll be harder to fool strangers on a plane. The singer’s last two releases sold very modestly. (Request magazine said of one, “If all the critics who raved about [it] had paid for their copies, it might have been a respectable hit.”) But “Martinis”-smart, biting and full of immaculately conceived melodies-feels like her breakthrough record. Phillips is in peak form as a songwriter, pitting dark, elliptical lyrics against catchy pop tunes rife with Beatles references: strings, harpsichords, backward tapes and spindly, silvery guitar riffs....

On a recent evening their son, Dylan, 5, skipped through their home in Oakland, Calif., praising how well his stay-at-home dad cares for him....

Wednesday, who have been revitalised under new boss Steve Bruce, passed up the best chance of a cagey affair at Hillsborough when Sam Hutchinson was unable to finish midway through the second half. Kieren Westwood made an early save to deny United’s former Wednesday striker Gary Madine from Oliver Norwood’s cross. It proved to be a first half short on clear chances and Madine was frustrated to have penalty claims rejected after tangling with Michael Hector....

Shenmue 3 takes players to a new setting in 1980s China, where they have both the main plot to follow and side tasks available in the many towns they pass through and characters they interact with. All in all, the game has many optional activities (and difficulty settings) that make its estimated play-time quite different depending on who is playing.

Moving on from Shin Megami Tensei 4, Atlus appears to be looking far ahead with it’s sequel, eight years later.

But extreme temperatures have been seen across the southwest of the state in recent days. According to the video, of which a caption read “3,000 cows died over the weekend in SW Kansas” the rancher had “no idea why,” so many cattle had died....

Shohei Ohtani, trying to become the major leagues’ first two-way player in nearly a century, experienced a miserable spring training after ending a scramble for his services by choosing the Los Angeles Angels in December. As a pitcher, he allowed nine runs on nine hits — including three home runs — in only 2 2/3 innings. Opponents compiled a .529 average against him. At the plate, Ohtani managed just four hits in 32 at-bats while striking out 10 times and driving in just one run....
