The new Powerpuff Girls series was first announced as being in development back in August of last year. The story will revolve around Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup - the same iconic heroine trio featured in Craig McCracken’s original Cartoon Network Series. The modernized version will show the three girls all grown up, navigating their twentysomethings while also trying to come to terms with the childhoods they lost to crime-fighting....

Coming to the series, even though England are the away team, they will still feel that they hold the upper hand after having comfortably put it across the Aussies in the previous series by a 3-0 margin. But the Aussies can never be counted out and have been showing some signs of form in the recent past even giving India a close fight in their own backyard. The team is finally beginning to look settled and will be looking to make the most of the home conditions and provide a better fight to England than in the last series....

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and many other games in the series define themselves by their platforming. The player is tasked with using the Prince’s acrobatic skills to sneak through important places and move from fight to fight. Although Prince of Persia went dormant, it had a huge impact on games like Assassin’s Creed that also demanded parkour skills of the player. Now, however, both Prince of Persia and Assassin’s Creed seem to be in times of change....

On a recent Saturday in the visitors clubhouse at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, a handful of Oakland Athletics players were bantering about the conspiracy theory that the moon landings were a hoax. Really, relief pitcher Chris Bassitt was doing most of the talking, playing the role of a skeptic. “Look at this,” he said, passing his phone to a teammate to show him a picture. “I don’t trust that thing to get me to Walmart....

Baugarner surrendered a team cycle to Athletics who began the first tinning with a Craig Gentry single followed by a Marcus Semien home run. Ben Zobrist followed with a triple before Billy Butler recorded the first out of the inning. Nate Freiman completed the team cycle with a double to right field. Baugarner lasted 1 2/3 innings allowing five hits, four runs, while striking out two in his 2015 Cactus League debut....

What went wrong? To be sure, India’s only Muslim-majority state is also its most volatile. In a decade of separatist fighting, police say more than 25,000 people have been killed in Kashmir. India accuses Pakistan of arming and funding the separatist rebels; Pakistan says it provides only encouragement, not materiel. But the ceasefire’s quick collapse may indicate widening differences within Pakistan’s ruling junta. It also comes as a setback to recent U....

But unlike many global problems, the solution to child wasting is staring us in the face. A daily dose of low-cost, ready-to-use therapeutic food – RUTF – will save the vast majority of children suffering from wasting, if we reach them in time. But at least two out of three children suffering from wasting don’t have access to this cost-effective, lifesaving treatment. We need to remove the obstacles that are standing in their way....

The extraordinary moment – perhaps destined to become the pivotal moment in the trial – came as prosecutor Christopher Darden was questioning a witness about the gloves allegedly worn by Simpson during the murders. The left-hand one had been found near the savagely attacked bodies of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, and the right outside Simpson’s house. Nicole, in a tragic irony, had bought the $55 leather gloves, or similar ones, during a trip to the New York store in 1990, according to the earlier testimony of a Bloomingdale’s buyer named Brenda Vemich....

Making a movie in Mexico is still rather different from making one in Hollywood. But here’s a plot twist: after years of decline and an early-1990s avalanche of Hollywood films, the once-proud Mexican film industry is in the midst of a revival. Last year “Sexo, Pudor y Lagrimas” (“Sex, Shame and Tears”), a story of yuppie love in Mexico City, earned $12 million, a Mexican record. Another local film is No....

Drug regimens that control HIV have been around since 1996 and now cost less than a dollar a day. Yet 56,000 people are dying untreated every week, and 6 million of the world’s 40 million HIV-infected people now need immediate care. After years of inaction, governments and relief agencies are racing to address the crisis, but they’re moving in different directions. The 3 by 5 initiative is the boldest effort yet to integrate and streamline their efforts....

This is the second official trailer for The Matrix Resurrections, and the three-minute preview offers up a lot more of the story along with the fight scenes.

Corporate America, it seems, is learning to share. Frequent fliers like Brule are defecting in droves to time-share jet services like NetJets and Citation Shares, which maintain large fleets of corporate aircraft–usually twin-engine jets with six to 12 seats. After buying a symbolic stake in one plane, customers are guaranteed access to a similar plane within a few hours of notifying the company. The programs are growing at a breakneck pace....

Biden has also made recent complaints about what he sees as confrontational lines of questioning. When reporters last week asked about the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield, Biden answered, “I want to talk about happy things, man.” “I’m concerned you guys are asking me questions that I will answer next week,” he continued. “It’s the holiday weekend. I’m going to celebrate it. There’s great things happening.” During the same interaction, the president corrected himself to say the questions were “legitimate” after first characterizing them as “negative....

After relinquishing a two-set lead in his first Masters 1000 final at 2005 Miami in a defeat to Roger Federer, Nadal became the 42nd different winner of a Masters 1000 title when he triumphed over Argentine Guillermo Coria in the 2005 Monte Carlo final. The Spaniard’s maiden Masters 1000 title in the Principality kick-started a run of nine consecutive wins in Masters 1000 title matches (2005 Monte Carlo to 2007 Rome) - a feat matched only by Federer....
