Pew pronounces this “the most downbeat short-term assessment of personal progress in nearly half a century.” It’s not that Americans have lost their optimism. About two thirds say they have higher living standards than their parents did at the same age, and by a 2–1 margin they expect their children to live better than they do. But there’s an underlying disenchantment that seems to predate today’s higher oil prices, falling home values and declining employment....

Now, though, fans of the Spurs may be seeing more and more of the four-time NBA champion and two-time All-Star after the team announced Ginobili was joining the front office in a player development-centric role. Ginobili already made an indellible mark in San Antonio during his 15 years under Gregg Popovich’s tutelage and had his No. 20 retired by the team in March of 2019. MORE: Offseason grades for all 30 teams...

Vancouver Whitecaps have endured a dismal season so far and are rooted to the bottom of the league table at the moment. The Canadian outfit held Los Angeles Galaxy to a 1-1 draw last week and will need to take it up a notch this weekend. San Jose Earthquakes are in 10th place in the MLS Western Conference standings and have also failed to meet expectations this year. The Earthquakes edged Los Angeles FC to a 2-1 victory in their previous game and will want to achieve a similar result in this fixture....

Salah went into the final day of the season two clear of the chasing pack but he failed to find the net as Manchester City retained the title ahead of the Reds. The Egypt star could not match his incredible return of 32 Premier League goals from last term, but 22 was enough to share the award with two fellow Africans. Aubameyang hit a double in Arsenal’s 3-1 win at Burnley while Mane scored both Liverpool goals in their 2-0 home win against Wolves on Sunday....

Frequent Symptoms Symptoms of a gastrointestinal Salmonella infection can begin within six hours and up to four days after you are exposed. The typical incubation period is 12 to 36 hours. You will have symptoms of gastroenteritis (stomach flu). The typical symptoms usually include: Watery diarrhea: This is the chief symptom and it usually comes on suddenly. At times, diarrhea can also be bloody or have mucus. Fever: This almost always occurs with this infection, and you may also have chills....

From the start, Salt and Sacrifice will be familiar to any fans of Souls-like games, as players are slain within minutes of creating a new character and choosing a starting class. The Marked Inquisitor is neither living nor dead but is a reanimated soul that finds itself routinely dying and spawning throughout a once-peaceful world now wrought with chaos. Only through utilizing Guiltless Shards, acquired through boss fights, and collecting Salt from slain enemies, which are used as the game’s leveling currency, can the Inquisitor grow strong enough to fix Salt and Sacrifice’s dreary Altarstone Kingdom....

New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS): The 20th edition of the Salwan Marathon will be held in Brar Square area here on November 2, and the organisers announced on Thursday that GPS based chip technology and multiple cameras would be used to track the distance-location covered by each participant in the under-18 boys category to ensure fair play. The run will also witness the participation of over 2,000 visually impaired and intellectually challenged students....

The 26-year-old signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Chelsea in November, having claimed the Golden Boot and been named MVP with Chicago Red Stars in the NWSL. Kerr scored five times at the Women’s World Cup last year, too, but could not get off the mark on her Blues bow at Kingsmeadow on Sunday. The forward was heavily involved throughout, however, and might have had her big moment inside two minutes, wastefully firing over after dashing through on goal....

Samantha Markle’s legal team said the Duchess of Sussex was responsible for “the destructive public publishing of falsehoods,” as they urged a judge not to halt the court process in a defamation case. A court filing, seen by Newsweek, read: “Frankly, this is a situation where two siblings are at odds, due to the destructive public publishing of falsehoods by one royal sister against her common sister whose life has been turned upside down by the royal sister’s faithful fans and others....

“They gave us too much time,” Big Ben said confidently. Somehow, the Steelers never run out of time at Paul Brown Stadium. Antonio Brown turned a short catch into a 31-yard touchdown with 10 seconds left Sunday, sending the Steelers to a 28-21 victory over the Bengals. They’ve now won seven straight against Cincinnati, a streak that includes highly improbable — and totally predictable — wins. The Steelers (3-2-1) sure saw it coming....

It was another frustrating outing for Sampaoli and Argentina, who were held to a 1-1 draw by lowly Venezuela in CONMEBOL action on Tuesday. A dominant display in Buenos Aires only yielded a point as Rolf Feltscher’s own goal cancelled out Jhon Murillo’s opener and rescued a draw for Argentina. Back-to-back stalemates during the international break have left Argentina barely in fifth position – the play-off spot – with Chile and Paraguay lurking ominously and Sampaoli knows his side must start making the most of their opportunities as he searches for his first competitive victory since replacing Edgardo Bauza in June....

Numerous A73-related leaks emerged in the run-up to this latest A-series launch event, making the fact that the A73 wasn’t part of proceedings a rather surprising turn; especially considering the high-profile launches that its predecessors have enjoyed. Samsung has since confirmed the presence of the A73 and availability details have started to emerge too. Here’s all that we know about the Samsung Galaxy A73. When will the Samsung Galaxy A73 be released?...

Samsung Galaxy S4 is about to get catapulted in the smartphone market on 14 March 2013. There are no two ways about it that the phone has already become talk of the town and with rumored stylus in its tow, it won’t be a surprise if it takes the smartphone world by storm. However the thing we are not sure about is that whether it would follow the league of Sony Xperia Z and be an another and water and dust resistant wonder....

Like the Samsung HW-Q800A, this high-end option can incorporate the speakers on newer Samsung TVs to add even more depth and immersion to the listening experience. This soundbar can go head to head with dedicated home theater systems that are more expensive and more involved to set up. This soundbar also packs in smart features like Wi-Fi connectivity. Alexa is also built into the soundbar so that you can control your home, get answers to questions, listen to music and more....

There doesn’t seem to be any functional difference between the two beyond the color - the S60T comes in black, while the S61T is a stylish silver grey. Both soundbars feature four channel sound (what used to be known as Quadraphonic sound), with dual-sided horn speakers and Samsung’s acoustic beam technology to ensure excellent sound quality across the entire room. Samsung is also touting its Adaptive Sound technology, which helps optimize your audio experience based on what you’re listening to....

Lee, a world famous film director, producer and actor, is a huge Knicks fan. While presenting an award, Jackson let Lee know New York won their first home game since December 1 after they beat the San Antonio Spurs 130-118 at Madison Square Garden. “First of all, Spike, so glad you’re sitting down,” he said. “After 18 consecutive home losses, the New York Knicks won tonight. I repeat, the New York Knicks won tonight, defeating San Antonio 130-118....

While there’s still a lot left for the Samurai Gunn 2 developers to finish, the team says that the game is ready to play right now. More importantly, the team says that Samurai Gunn 2 is “extremely fun” to play right now. As such, the devs think the best way forward is to have players experience the game as it moves forward and offering feedback. As such, Samurai Gunn 2 will likely take an additional year of development following its Early Access release....

The Egypt international continued his sparkling recent form with a first-half double as Roma were dispatched 5-2 in Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg. His first of the evening was curled exquisitely past Alisson, while the Brazilian was equally powerless to stop him doubling Liverpool’s lead minutes later with a fine dinked finish. Salah then went on to assist both Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino after the break, before being withdrawn by manager Jurgen Klopp shortly after Firmino briefly put Liverpool five goals ahead ....

Red Sox ace Sale struck out 12 and surrendered just one hit in the MLB clash on Sunday. Sale improved to 12-4 and dropped his ERA to 1.97 with the victory. He was originally placed on the DL with left shoulder inflammation on July 31. Steve Pearce hit a solo home run in the first inning to give Boston an early lead. The Red Sox added a run in the third off an RBI double by J....

Just watching the shuttle ride its fat caterpillar of exhaust sent thrills through the crowd like the jazziest Disneyland ride. Titusville, Fla., police officer Fernandina Marshall, keeping an eye on the spectators, said, “I guess it’s because the lady’s going up that I’m watching it myself. The last three times I ignored it.” “It’s an important first,” said Steinem, “because it means that millions and millions of little girls are going to sit in front of the television and know they can become astronauts after this....
