Walden, an 11-term congressman, told his supporters in a statement that while he was “confident” he could be re-elected next year he felt that “the time has come to pursue new challenges and opportunities.” The 62-year-old lawmaker joins a growing list of Republicans who have abandoned the idea of running for re-election this year. In fact, Walden is the 18th Republican to announce that they are either retiring or resigning from the House of Representatives....

The Gremlins are one of those icons primed for a 21st century comeback, and while HBO Max and Warner Bros. have been quick to pick up the property for their own animated take, Columbus has been talking about the possibility of a sequel to Gremlins 2: The New Batch since 2017, always voicing his desire to make it scarier than that last film was.

Oblak was in inspirational form as 10-man Atleti drew 1-1 at Arsenal in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday. Sime Vrsaljko’s 10th-minute red card made life hard for Atleti – who also saw Diego Simeone sent to the stands – at Emirates Stadium, but Oblak’s saves kept his side in the game after Alexandre Lacazette’s headed opener and Griezmann capitalised on defensive mistakes to strike a late equaliser....

Diego Simeone’s side finished third in their group in 2017-18, behind Roma and Chelsea, after winning only one of their six matches. Although they went on to win the Europa League, Griezmann admits Atleti felt compelled to qualify for the knockout round of Europe’s top competition this season, which they did on Tuesday thanks to a 2-0 win at the Wanda Metropolitano. “That was the most important thing: to be in the last 16, after last year, and that’s what we’ve managed,” Griezmann, who scored his side’s second goal, told Movistar....

Griezmann netted for the third season in succession in the fixture to snatch a 1-1 draw for Diego Simeone’s men, converting when Keylor Navas saved from Vitolo in the 57th minute – only four minutes on from Ronaldo volleying Madrid ahead. It was a lead Zinedine Zidane’s men merited after they had the better of a first half in which Toni Kroos had a strong penalty appeal rejected and Marcelo hit the crossbar....

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the top transfer news, rumours and updates that made headlines on 10 May 2019. Everton manager Marco Silva hopeful of signing Andre Gomes in the summer Andre Gomes has certainly made an impact after moving to the Goodison from Barcelona on a loan deal. However, latest reports in Spain claimed that he had reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur. It was claimed that Gomes had agreed to join Mauricio Pochettino’s side on a £26 million deal....

So what he’s saying, then, is that the life of a celebrity can be pretty rough, right? Grisham grins. ““Hey, I’m a famous writer in a country where nobody reads.'' It’s a nice line, you want to tell him, but it says more about his self-effacing manner than it does about his actual status as the best-selling author of the decade, with 110 million books in print. On Feb. 2, the day it was published, Grisham’s latest novel, ““The Testament,’’ outstripped the first-day sales for his previous novel by 40 percent at Barnes & Noble and 62 percent at Sam’s Club, according to Doubleday....

In an interim report to the Security Council last week, the chief prosecutor for the United Nations war-crimes tribunal, Carla Del Ponte, said forensic teams had dug up 195 sites where massacre victims were said to be buried and had found only 2,108 bodies. She said many of the sites were not mass graves at all but individual burial plots, and that only 11 of the locations examined to date contained more than 50 corpses each....

Memphis also sent second-round picks in 2019 and 2020 to Chicago in the deal Thursday. The Bulls waived guard Cameron Payne in another move. The Grizzlies hope Holiday — averaging 11.6 points — provides a lift. They have dropped 10 of 13 and had what general manager Chris Wallace described as an “emotionally charged” meeting following a loss to Detroit on Wednesday. Memphis has fallen from first to 10th in the Western Conference after a 12-5 start....

A new biopic is in the works at Cold Iron Pictures from director Oren Moverman and writer Steve Stoliar, focusing on the later years of Marx’s eclectic and not-always-funny life. Based on Stoliar’s memoir Raised Eyebrows: My Years Inside Groucho’s House, the film will star Pirates of the Caribbean’s Geoffrey Rush as the aging Marx in a personal look at the legendary comedic actor. Fans of the Marx Brothers’ hilarious and classic films may not get what they bargained for here, but they’re sure to learn something new....

To start, there are an assortment of features that are indicated as “in progress,” and it is said that their release is just “a few months off.” Among these forthcoming features are ziplines (a new building), mosquitoes (a hostile creature), bees (a neutral creature), and water-themed items, and Grounded fans can look forward to the addition of a koi pond and hedge environment as well. There are also a variety of quality of life and inventory management improvements in the works, and players can find more details on this first stage of updates below....

Following the spider reveal, developers on Grounded were surprised to see reactions from fans saying they couldn’t or wouldn’t play the game. Obviously, for an enemy to cause that level of reaction was concerning to Obsidian, so the studio partnered with Microsoft’s Xbox research team to figure out not only what triggers those sorts of reactions, but to find a way for sensitive players to still play the game. As such, the aptly titled Arachnophobia Mode was born....

The Air Force will consider whether God should be a presence on the football field after the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a group that opposes proselytizing in the military, objected to the team praying after its Nov. 28 loss to New Mexico.

Bowser unveiled the mural on June 5, four days after President Donald Trump threatened military force against nationwide racial justice protesters outraged by the May 25 killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer. The group’s lawsuit aims to force Bowser to also paint street-sized murals for police (“Blue Lives Matter”), the National Guard (“Green Lives Matter”) and a mural that says “All Lives Matter,” a phrase often uttered in opposition to BLM....

GSMA is set decide on Friday whether MWC 2020 will go ahead, as fears over the effect of coronavirus continue to escalate. GSMA’s decision will come 10 days before the event is due to kick-off in Barcelona, although many companies choose to hold events in the city during the weekend before. Originating in the Hubei province of central China, coronavirus has since spread to around 25 countries around the world, with in excess of 40,000 confirmed cases....

Firas Zahabi, GSP’s trainer and the head coach of Tristar Gym located in Canada, started coaching the legendary French-Canadian from 2008 after he succumbed to a defeat against Matt Sera in 2007.

A special version called Episodes from Liberty City came out soon after, including both the expansion packs, but missing the base game. GTA 4 Complete Edition is the final product that included all three games combined. Upon starting up, players are given the choice of playing either GTA 4 or GTA: EFLC. The games play as usual, with no discernible differences from the earlier editions. Fans may still ask whether there are any differences at all....

The map features iconic locations like Vice City, Los Santos, Liberty City, and more. It’s shaped like a rough approximation of the United States, putting each major location roughly where its real-world counterpart is. Of course, the idea of playing a map of the entire United States is amazing, though unrealistic. There’s very little that fans actually know about the game, though Rockstar has teased some GTA surprises for 2020, so fans may hear something soon....
