Juanfran joined Atletico from Osasuna in 2010 and his deal expires in June.

A federal judge Friday night granted professional leagues and the NCAA a permanent injunction that prohibits bets from being accepted at casinos and horse racing tracks in the state, Northjersey.com’s John Brennan reported.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes of Houston ruled lead plaintiff Jennifer Bridges’ argument that the vaccine is “experimental and dangerous” to be false. Hughes also called Bridges’ allegations that the inoculation requirements are akin to Nazis’ forced medical experimentation on prisoners in concentration camps “reprehensible.” The judge concluded that requiring vaccinations as a condition of employment was not coercion. “Bridges can freely choose to accept or refuse a COVID-19 vaccine; however, if she refuses, she will simply need to work somewhere else....

U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp issued a temporary restraining order after a request by the NFL, the NBA, the NHL, Major League Baseball and the NCAA. He said the leagues have shown that they would be irreparably harmed if the state’s casinos and racetracks were permitted to allow sports betting.

Judge Victor Marrero wrote in his 75-page ruling that the case presented by Trump’s attorneys was “repugnant to the nation’s governmental structure and constitutional values.” “Bared to its core, the proposition the President advances reduces to the very notion that the Founders rejected at the inception of the Republic, and that the Supreme Court has since unequivocally repudiated: that a constitutional domain exists in this country in which not only the President, but, derivatively, relatives and persons and business entities associated with him in potentially unlawful private activities, are in fact above the law,” Marrero wrote in his ruling....

On Thursday, Frank McCartney, chief judge of the 8th Judicial Circuit, filed an administrative order with the Adams County Circuit courts, removing Adrian from handling any future criminal cases. Adrian inspired public backlash on January 3 when he reversed the conviction against 18-year-old Drew Clinton for rape. The reversal released Clinton early from Adams County jail. Adrian said he considered Clinton’s 148 days behind bars “plenty of punishment.” At a May 30, 2021, graduation party, Clinton raped a 16-year-old girl....

Presidents, poor things, are forever seeking solace in the idea that “history” (meaning some version of us 10 or 50 or 100 years hence) will give them the breaks to which they feel they are entitled. But they shouldn’t be so optimistic, since we, right here and now, are history so far as all our dead and gone presidents are concerned, and the example is not encouraging. We tend to deal with our past presidents either by suppressing and ignoring their faults so we can count them saintly, or uncovering those faults and deciding they obliterate all the good the benighted fellow ever did....

The story was about Allison’s long struggle with amnesia, which affected his life for more than a quarter century after a crash four months after the Daytona race.

After spending over a week with the U.S. national team, I returned to Munich on Thursday and am still a little tired and „jet-lagged. I went directly to practice at the Säbener Straße after arriving back in Germany.

Julian Gressel, the eighth overall pick in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft, made sure that at the end of the year, there was one clear answer as to which rookie deserved the honor. Despite flying a bit under the radar, Gressel settled into the lineup with expansion side Atlanta United early on, starting and playing well in the team’s first ever match against the New York Red Bulls and going on to play 32 times for the club, making 24 starts along the way....

Concurrently, a protest has erupted at the governor’s mansion, compelling Oklahoma City law officials to erect barricades to keep protesters from Stitt’s home, KOKH reported. “If my child is executed tomorrow or any day, it should be without a doubt.

During a recent interview with independent journalist Mara Schiavocampo, Jones was asked what he wants to say to Howell’s family. “I love them. I love them and I forgive them.

And one day I hope that they open up their eyes and see the truth, but at this point, I hope they heal first,” Jones said during the interview....

Health food experts say that, given the video hosting service’s popularity with children, policies are needed to protect them. Researchers found that unhealthy food and drink brands are encouraging TikTok users to market their products for them - effectively turning them into “brand ambassadors” -as well as using their own accounts for promotional activity. They assessed video content posted on the social media platform. Their findings were published by BMJ Global Health....
