Dortmund give Auba ultimatum ​The striker arrived Sunday morning at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan and, after undergoing medical tests, met with club president Jose Castro to sign the contract that will keep him in Andalusia for three years. A Celta legend after making 100 appearances for the club, Nolito moved to the Premier League in 2016 but failed to find his footing with Pep Guardiola’s side and returns to La Liga after playing just 775 minutes in league play....

Many people might consider that idea unsettling. Volkow finds it fascinating and encouraging, because it means everything we learn about one type of addiction has the potential to teach us something about the others. “Just imagine,” she says, “if all the private money being spent to understand and treat obesity could help us understand and treat alcoholics and drug addicts.” Millions of people could be pulled back from the abyss....

He knows the big man is supposed to inbound the ball to the guard. That’s how basketball works. If a guard inbounds to a big man, well, that’s just not how things are supposed to work in his mind. The issue with that thinking is you don’t get a chance to start over. Cole tried to, but that’s called a turnover. Even worse, the play took place right after Kevin Martin’s basket gave the T-Wolves a 102-101 lead with 41 seconds remaining....

Felda United bounced back from their midweek disappointment to gain all three points against Penang at the Batu Kawan Stadium against Penang to wipe out the memory of previous defeat to the same side. The start for this Sunday night Super League encounter had to be delayed for an hour after heavy rain forced the match officials to push the kick off from 9pm to 10pm. Penang’s Zainal Abidin Hassan could only field one import player in Nigel Dabinyaba but Felda’s B....

MORE: Athletes’ social issues demonstrations The state law, passed in March, requires transgendered people to use public bathrooms based on the gender listed on their birth certificate. “The State University of New York supports Governor Cuomo’s executive order banning all non-essential travel to the state of North Carolina,” SUNY spokesperson Holly Liapis told the Durham Herald-Sun. “We instructed our campuses to immediately review any existing travel plans by faculty and staff....

The measure passed with a 25-17 vote and must now clear the General Assembly before it can be passed on to the governor for approval. Republicans have said the bill is designed to bar teachers from compelling their students to personally adopt any ideas from a list of 13 beliefs, including the ideas that a particular race or sex is inherently superior and making students feel guilty because of their race or sex....

In a statement released by his office, Burgum extended the state’s business restrictions for an additional 10 days, with the end to these restrictions coming on April 30, “and outlined a path forward for them to reopen.” While North Dakota remains one of the few U.S. states that has not imposed a statewide stay-at-home order, they have enforced social distancing measures such as closing schools and different businesses in an effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus....

“It was reported that the U.S. and South Korea decided to extend the combined air drill Vigilant Storm,” the North Korean official said in a recent statement issued by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, according to The Korea Times. “It is a very dangerous and false choice.” South Korea’s air force announced that it will extend the five-day air drill that started on Monday to improve military training and resistance amid rising tensions with North Korea, according to The Korea Herald....

Cobb, who scored a season-high 23 points in a Feb. 16 loss vs. Minnesota, missed the team’s Feb. 22 game vs. Indiana. “He’s going to have to have a great offseason of strength and conditioning,” Wildcats first year coach Chris Collins said, according to a report from InsideNU.com. “He had a really good year for us, I’m really proud of what he did, but it’s going to be important going into his senior year that he has a great summer, and that he gets his body to the point where he doesn’t break down....

This article will give an overview of the common nosebleed causes and their treatments. Causes of Anterior Nosebleeds Most nosebleeds occur within the lower end of the nose in the lower septum—the wall separating the two airways of the nose that ends in the nostrils. These blood vessels lie close to the surface, making them susceptible to injury. A clue that a nosebleed is anterior is that blood will flow out of one nostril when the affected person is sitting or standing....

Zehfuss isn’t the only new mother to have a little extra help during labor. For decades, childbirth educators have urged women to get through the pain without drugs. The idea was that it’s better for both mother and child to go natural. But a recent study by the University of Colorado School of Medicine found that from 1981 to 1997, the number of women in large hospitals who had spinal injections during labor tripled, from 22 percent to 66 percent....

In the corporate world, postponed retirements are rarely a good omen. Like an aging athlete unwilling to hit the showers, or a graying rock band mounting one more “reunion tour,” a CEO who pushes back his exit is often judged harshly. He’s either unwilling to let go of the trappings of power, convinced no one can replace him–or both. In recent years highly regarded corporate chiefs, such as Chrysler’s Lee Iacocca and AT&T’s Robert Allen, saw their reputations suffer after hanging around too long....

The new buildings will house a student center on the west side, the anthropology and psychology departments and a digital media center on the east side and music and sacred music departments on the south side, leaving the side facing Touchdown Jesus unchanged. Rev.

Djokovic, 34, was granted a vaccine mandate exemption by the Australian Open and had been set to compete in the tournament later this month until he was detained last week after the country’s government canceled his visa and attempted to deport him due to his vaccination status. However, the nine-time Australian Open winner was training with an eye toward adding to his record on Monday after Judge Anthony Kelly ordered that he be released....

The Italian was shown two yellows and the subsequent red in Ligue 1 on Sunday - but a reprieve was always likely after referee Olivier Thual admitted post-game that he had blundered in cautioning Balotelli for a second time. The striker was booked as he celebrated his 86th-minute strike - a goal that would prove to be the winner - and had his name taken again for an apparent altercation with Steven Moreira deep into stoppage time....

The Mets’ announcement Tuesday that right-hander Noah Syndergaard would undergo ligament replacement surgery, aka Tommy John surgery, on Thursday to repair a UCL tear in his pitching elbow provided more debate fodder. Syndergaard joined the Yankees’ Luis Severino, the Red Sox’s Chris Sale and the Giants’ Tyler Beede in being recommended for the procedure since the start of spring training. MORE: Sports figure who have tested positive for the coronavirus An orthopedic surgeon who has extensive experience with Tommy John surgeries — and who provided Beede and Syndergaard with second opinions — argued that the procedures aren’t elective because delays can harm a pitcher’s earning potential....
