The mosquito-borne virus has been linked to brain defects in newborn babies.

Julio Gomez, Antonio Briseno, Richard Sanchez, Carlos Fierro and Marco Bueno were all more heralded and earned more column inches than the now-20-year-old basking in the news of his first full Mexico call-up for the upcoming games against Honduras and Panama.

That leaves just the 256GB SSD and 1TB Fusion Drive options available for any customers wanting to pick up the smaller display-size iMac model. Apple Is Ditching iMac Models Last month, the two iMac options were temporarily unavailable to buy through the Apple Online Store. It was not clear at the time whether this was due to constrained supplies or Apple choosing to phase out the models entirely. A rumor, shared by Apple Insider, said that Apple had stopped production of the two iMacs....

The churning mass of humanity around the great lakes of central Africa this fall did more than remind the comfortable world how much of the planet remains an unsafe and fearful place. It symbolized, rather, a human instinct as ancient as the hills, but still powerful–people belong somewhere. They have roots, traditions, myths, cultures. They know who they are. In that sense, the crisis in central Africa should have acted as a useful corrective to what has become a stultifying conventional wisdom....

Modric was part of the Croat side who went out in the group stages after a defeat by Spain four years ago. He believes it would be “a failure” for this country if they did not progress this time with four of the third-placed teams going through.

The Grillo family was visiting a campground in San Diego, California on August 2 when they noticed their mini-Goldendoodle Chancho was not in his crate next to their tent. Security footage from the recreational vehicle campground showed a dog that looked similar to Chancho being led on his leash by an unknown man, according to police.

As the genetic basis of Goldenhar syndrome is still unknown and its associated symptoms may vary greatly, estimates of the condition’s occurrence in the general population ranges between 0.2 and 2.9 per 10,000 births. Though some medical complications of Goldenhar syndrome can affect hearing, vision, and the structure and function of the spine, jaw, kidneys, and heart, the prognosis for the vast majority of children with Goldenhar syndrome is a normal, healthy life with some medical intervention during childhood and periodic check-ups....

VIRGINIA WATER, England (Reuters) - Wentworth’s new greens have met with popular approval but Chris Wood was almost longing for the old putting surfaces to return after opening his BMW PGA Championship title defence with a 72 on Thursday.

Four of the 18 putting surfaces were also reshaped while five more were partially rebuilt....

However, he bogeyed the last after shanking his second into a bush and finished tied for second with South African Louis Oosthuizen on seven-under....

The Zags are definitely “Dem Boyz.” 

So one might deduce, in retrospect, that given the opportunity to achieve one or the other that the obvious choice would be to finish with an unbeaten record and join that very exclusive club. Ask a true college basketball fan which are the last teams to achieve some degree of perfection and he or she will easily recall UNLV in 1991, Saint Joseph’s in 2004, Wichita State in 2014 or Kentucky a year later....

Sure, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney called the move an “insult.” His Canadian province had sunk $1.1 billion into the project, designed to transport dirty oil from Alberta’s tar sands to refineries on the Gulf of Mexico. But the Keystone XL pipeline was an artifact from an earlier time. When it was proposed in 2008, the price of crude had jumped to over $120 a barrel, causing some to fret that the energy supply would fall short of demand....
