The 30-year-old Belgian joined the Toffees from Olympiacos in 2012 and played 186 games for the club. Yet, he has only made five appearances for Everton in the Premier League this season – three of them as a substitute. Mirallas has not once been in the squad since Sam Allardyce was appointed manager. Mirallas’ first stint at Olympiacos saw him score 34 goals in 71 appearances, as the club won back-to-back Greek Superleague titles in his two seasons there....
Greek shipowner Marinakis, a divisive figure back in Greece who has long been investigated for allegations of match-fixing but has repeatedly rejected any wrongdoing, is heading a consortium that took over 100 percent of the club. Forest finished just above the relegation zone in the English Football League (EFL) Championship this season, avoiding the drop on the final matchday. “The completion of the purchase of 100 percent of the club’s shares follows the EFL’s review of the business plan submitted for the club,” Nottingham Forest said in a statement....
MORE: How Olympic field stacks up (behind U.S.) Tuesday night he took to the court in Oakland to show that he can still be a go-to guy on the international stage. He scored 20 points, including 16 in the third quarter, as USA cruised to a 107-57 win over China. Only DeMarcus Cousins (21) scored more for the U.S. “I’m just doing my part and I’m bringing my colleagues along with me....
The American swimmer started his morning with an Olympic record and gold medal swim in the 50-meter freestyle at 21.07 and ended it with his fifth gold medal, swimming butterfly on the men’s 4x100 medley relay to help the unit set a world record at 3:26.78. Dressel now joins Mark Spitz, Matt Biondi and Michael Phelps as the only male swimmers to win five gold medals in the same Olympics....
The Japanese company first shipped a camera in 1936 but has struggled against the rise of smartphone cameras to keep its business profitable. Olympus said it would sell the imaging part of its business to JIP, the fellow Japanese company that bought the rights to use the VAIO laptop branding from Sony. “Olympus has implemented measures to cope with the extremely severe digital camera market, due to, amongst others, rapid market shrink caused by the evolution of smartphones,” reads the announcement, which also details the company’s restructuring to try and avoid a sale....
NFL fans rarely feel that way. Right now, they should. Many times, perhaps most of the time, the NFL commissioner is doing the bidding of the owners. That’s led to plenty of criticism of Goodell when it’s the guys who run the 32 franchises who deserve more bad reviews than he does. When it comes to league probes, the NFL so often has fallen short — Ray Rice, Kareem Hunt, Saints bounties — that Goodell takes the arrows rather than the investigators who should be blamed....
The Check’s in The Mail: I thought it was pretty sad over the past few weeks when news started to trickle out that big companies were taking loans intended, in spirit and practice, for small businesses. But, then, this week came along. The Economic Policy Institute came out with the following conclusion based on a March/April national survey: Only about half of the “potential” unemployment insurance applicants “are actually receiving benefits,” concluded EPI, a left of center think tank....
Next week the rest of the nation will see why. That’s when the Turner Broadcasting System kicks off an unprecedented, companywide assault on a single subject: the saga of the Western Hemisphere’s first inhabitants. On Oct. 10 TBS unveils “The Native Americans,” a three-night, six-hour historical documentary. On Oct. 16 TNT will present “Lakota Woman,” a two-hour film drama produced by Jane Fonda. On Oct. 3l CNN begins airing 20 daily news reports on contemporary issues confronting “The Invisible People....
It is the day that Gunners vintage of 16 years ago secured its ‘Invincibles’ tag, finishing the Premier League campaign unbeaten. Real Madrid – inspired by Zinedine ZIdane – and Manchester United also have happy memories of this mid-May date, each sealing continental silverware in 2002 and 1991 respectively. And in the NBA, Allen Iverson claimed a significant personal honour 19 years ago. Here are the sporting highlights from this day in history…...

Preston White, a 30-year-old case manager who has worked in the Wisconsin welfare system for five years, declined to have a panic button. And he kept telling himself not to take the insults personally, though he had to admit he was tired of being t reated, as he put it, ““like a punching bag.'' The next woman in line to see Preston on this late afternoon in March 1996 could have been attractive to him, under different circumstances....
The verdict shocked media lawyers, who denounced the outsize award as dangerous to the press’s First Amendment rights. ““This is not consistent with the notion of a strong media,’’ says Sandra Baron, executive director of the Libel Defense Resource Center. The Journal said it would ask a judge to set aside the award, and many lawyers think it has a good shot. A majority of libel judgments are reversed on appeal, or the awards reduced....
One aspect of the trilogy that was particularly praised by critics was its acting. Christian Bale became the definitive Bruce Wayne for a new generation and Heath Ledger more than earned his posthumous Academy Award for his chilling portrayal of the Clown Prince of Crime. But, while Bale’s Batman and Ledger’s Joker are often singled out for praise, one of the trilogy’s finest performances remains overlooked.

A fearsome swordsman, Shiryu is the second-strongest member of the Blackbeard Pirates, second only to Teach himself. As such, he is bound to be an immensely powerful individual. For this reason, fans expected him to obtain a more performing Devil Fruit power. However, One Piece showed that most abilities aren’t strong or weak in themselves: it all comes down to the user. The Clear-Clear Fruit might also hide some remarkable potential....
As expected, Vegapunk is an old man, with a great deal of knowledge, and a unique design. It is evident from his looks that Vegapunk is heavily inspired by Albert Einstein. Vegapunk even imitated the iconic pose where Einstein had his tongue out. Vegapunk’s hair is also frizzy, which is another thing that he has in common with the scientist. The top of Vegapunk’s head resembles an apple, which could be inspired by the story of Isaac Newton, and the apple falling on his head, leading to the discovery of gravity....
So far, Urouge and Bonney are the two Supernovas with the least amount of screentime, which is why many One Piece fans predicted that either of them might be involved in the next arc in the series. This prediction came to be true as in One Piece chapter 1060, Bonney was shown after a very long time. She was trapped inside an Eddy, and on Luffy’s orders, she was rescued by Zoro....
RELATED: Things That You Might Not Know About Usopp Despite his best attempts, even Oda can’t always keep all the characters relevant. Sometimes, he has to ignore them for the sake of other characters, and in other instances, they just don’t add anything to the story as they have already filled their roles. With that in mind, the list will cover the best One Piece characters that have almost disappeared from the story....
But until recently, if they played football at Old Dominion, they weren’t allowed to tweet. But those days are now over as ODU coach Bobby Wilder lifted the ban this week.
