Haiti’s prime minister, Ariel Henry, declared a one-month state of emergency on Saturday as some towns were almost completely razed by the damage. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the epicenter of the earthquake took place 7.5 miles northeast of Saint-Louis du Sud. The quake was so strong—it could be felt in neighboring countries—that the U.S. Tsunami Warning System temporarily issued a tsunami warning on Saturday morning. “The most important thing is to recover as many survivors as possible under the rubble,” Henry said Saturday....

Krueger’s 1997 death still haunts his family–and the MIT campus. Last week the university agreed to pay $4.75 million to Scott’s parents and $1.25 million to a scholarship fund in his memory. That’s believed to be a record settlement for such a death–and more than a jury might have awarded if the family had taken MIT to court. “At a very personal level, I feel that we at MIT failed you and Scott,” MIT’s president, Charles Vest, wrote to Bob and Darlene Krueger....

“You have seen over the last two days, it is not a typical Kolkata wicket, as it used to be before. I think they have re-laid the surface and you may have seen… every now and then there was uneven bounce. “So, at no point the batsmen could relax and take things for granted. Every ball that you are playing, you have to ensure you are giving 100 per cent in playing the ball,” Rohit said after the third day’s play....

As you doubtless know, AT&T unveiled a complex plan last week to turn itself into three separate companies with four parts sporting a total of six different stocks. What you may not know is that a major motivation was AT&T’s worry that its falling stock price made it vulnerable to a hostile takeover. AT&T insists the breakup is a brilliant plan designed to liberate AT&T’s businesses and reward its shareholders, but even chairman C....

More than a week had gone by, amid rising violence, since a hawkish Israeli politician, Ariel Sharon, made a provocative visit to what Jews call the Temple Mount. Now rioting engulfed the knob of ground that is equally holy to Muslims, who call it the Noble Sanctuary. Standing at the edge of the mount, Arabs pelted a few Jews praying down below at the sacred Western Wall. Israeli police had pulled back from the mount in an attempt to cool passions....

Colombia international Zapata drilled home a clever pass from Alejandro Gomez to score his 15th league goal of the season in the 16th minute at the Allianz Stadium. It meant Atalanta became the first team with three players to score at least 15 goals in the same Serie A campaign since Ermes Muccinelli, Giampiero Boniperti and John Hansen for Juventus in 1951-52. Josip Ilicic was already on 15 when Zapata struck, while Luis Muriel was on 17....

The iconic company’s history has certainly been tumultuous over the better part of the last decade. Atari had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy back in 2013 prior to emerging in its current form. This was done at the time in order to separate Atari’s US branch, Atari Inc., from debt-riddled French parent company Atari S.A. RELATED: Cyberpunk 2077 Can Be Played on Atari VCS Atari announced this week that it would begin to restructure its operations to include a dedicated gaming division, simply titled Atari Gaming....

What is surprising, though, is PCRM’s new battle strategy. Last week, after years of conventional scientific warfare, the group went guerrilla, leaking to The Wall Street Journal a copy of a New York City medical examiner’s report on Dr. Robert Atkins’s death from a fall last April. The report said the 6-foot Atkins weighed 258 pounds and had congestive heart failure, hypertension and an “MI”: shorthand for a heart attack....

The season is very much over for the Detroit Pistons, who are focused on rebuilding around their young talent for the next campaign. Jerami Grant continues to be their standout threat on offense. However, as a team, the Pistons rank sixth-bottom for points scored over the last ten games. They will find it hard to outscore the Hawks, who rank tenth in the same category.

The eighth overall pick in the MLS SuperDraft out of Providence, the German-born Gressel joined an expansion Atlanta United side that had exciting attacking foreign talents from abroad and well-regarded American youngsters in its ranks. But the 23-year-old went on to make 32 appearances and 24 starts for Gerardo “Tata” Martino’s side, becoming an important and versatile piece in the midfield. He scored five goals and added nine assists in that impressive debut campaign for both himself and Atlanta, which finished fourth in the Eastern Conference and became the first expansion side since the Seattle Sounders in 2009 to make the playoffs....

Atletico de Kolkata, who won the opening edition of ISL in 2014, were unbeaten in the first five matches of the league and were cruising along nicely but they have already lost twice in the last four matches and know that any more slip-ups can cost them a place among the top four.

Atletico Madrid had the better first half, with the 19-year-old Joao Felix missing some gilt-edged chances. Real Madrid’s best chance in the first half fell to Toni Kroos, but Jan Oblak was on hand to deny the German international. Los Blancos were somewhat the better side in the second half as Oblak stood tall once again to deny Karim Benzema in perhaps Madrid’s best chance of the game. Gareth Bale also put in a decent shift, but his best efforts were nowhere near the target....

Diego Simeone opted to field his team in his standard 4-4-2 formation that saw Diego Costa and Joao Felix lead the attack line. Behind them, the midfield four contained Vitolo and Koke on the left and right wings respectively, with Thomas Partey and Saul Niguez sitting in the centre. The defensive four consisted of Renan Lodi on the left flank, Kieran Trippier on the right, and Jose Gimenez in the middle along with Stefan Savic....

However, Los Rojiblancos have been so impressive in recent weeks that even though they are considered underdogs in Tuesday’s game at the Etihad, they are not to be underestimated. An eight-game unbeaten streak, coupled with a run of six wins on the trot in all competitions, means that Diego Simeone’s men have all the momentum on their side. Having already beaten Manchester United in the previous round, who’s to say they can’t do the same against Pep Guardiola’s side?...

UEFA confirmed at their ExCo in Nyon on Wednesday that Atletico’s 67,000-seater stadium has been chosen to host the showpiece match for next season’s competition. Atleti 18/1 to win 17-18 CL The last Champions League final to be hosted in Spain was in 2010, when Inter beat Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu, host of the city rivals of Diego Simeone’s side, Real Madrid. Atletico have made the final in two of the last four seasons, losing to Madrid on both occasions....

After winning 1-0 at Real Madrid early in the season, with Diego Costa scoring the winner, Atletico coach Diego Simeone still called it "a league of two." No longer. Atletico showed the verve of a veteran champion as it rallied to draw 1-1 Saturday at Barcelona to secure its first league title in 18 years, capping one of the most entertaining Spanish league title fights in recent history. Atletico needed a draw at the Camp Nou and got it to end a duopoly that had seen either Barcelona or Real Madrid crowned domestic champion since Valencia lifted the title a decade ago....

At the 50th edition of the ATP Finals this year in London, Federer is making his record-extending 17th appearance.
