It pitted Newsom against four “prominent” California Republicans in hypothetical 2022 match-ups. All of the Republicans were candidates in the recall election. “The results indicate that Newsom holds very large leads over each of them,” the institute said in a statement....

The rising 22-year-old talent, who reached the fourth round of the Australian Open in January, has already represented her adopted country after teaming up with Nick Kyrgios to win the Hopman Cup at the start of the year. Despite having received her Australian passport in December, Gavrilova was only cleared to play Fed Cup by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) last month. Former U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur, Casey Dellacqua and Arina Rodionova round out the Australia team for the tie against the 17-times champions, which will be played on clay at the Pat Rafter Arena from April 16-17....

Replying to a challenging 177/6 posted by the Knight Riders, the visitors rode on the Gayle storm - as the Caribbean plundered 96 runs hammering seven fours and the same number of sixes, some of them landing at the far corner of the huge Eden Gardens galleries - to romp to 179/7 with a full over to spare before 61,000 plus spectators. However, the script had looked much different at the end of the 15th over of the Royal Challengers’ innings....

Meanwhile, the gaming front has teased us with Aliens: Colonial Marines ever since Gearbox and Sega picked up the project in 2006. And Sega’s 2010 offering, Aliens vs. Predator, while crafting a solid send-up to the franchise, never managed to capture fans in a warm, embracing facehug. Humans can repress memories for a reason though, and Aliens looks primed to ingratiate itself with fans once again. Ridley Scott’s upcoming film Prometheus alludes to events before the Alien storyline and is shaping up to be one of this year’s go-to summer flicks....

The short is answer is no. The long answer? Xenomorphs can’t be flanked, so why have squad mechanics at all? After reportedly getting canceled, Aliens: Colonial Marines is still on duty to arrive on consoles in 2012. Early gameplay and story details have been made available, but most details for the title have been kept hush-hush. Colonial Marines will be a pick-up-and-play kind of game. Squad members will still play a role in your team, but control over them will not be up to the player - here’s hoping Gearbox will create some great squad A....

The optional mature content filter in Gears of War 4 will extend to both its violence and strong language. When it comes to swearing, the mature content filter will remove the “hard” swear words, but leave the less offensive ones in, as Gears of War 4 head developer Rod Fergusson feels that some swearing is important to the characters. After all, the characters of Gears of War 4 are AWOL from the COG military and are fighting for their lives against horrific creatures, so it’s hard to fault them for swearing here and there....

The fiasco starts with a natural rise in GameStop’s stock value just recently. This rise was caused by the popular Chewy CEO Ryan Cohen joining GameStop’s board. Cohen’s support of GameStop and his addition to the board has been seen as a positive move that could help the retailer improve its online presence. Having Cohen placed on GameStop’s board caused GameStop’s stock to rise nearly 250%, and that’s where things start getting complicated....

But Benzema equalized for Real Madrid 6 minutes later scoring in acrobatic fashion at the end of a counter-attack. And five minutes before the end of the game they came up with the winner with none other than Cristiano Ronaldo scoring the goal. Gareth Bale was one of Madrid’s best players yesterday and talked about the tactics they used to beat the Catalans.”We had a game plan, we know we’ve got speed on the counter-attack so we used that to our advantage”...

This move which will keep him at White Hart Lane till 2016, has come as a shock to many clubs interested in Bale’s signature as reports suggested that Bale was keen in moving away from Tottenham after the sacking of their manager Harry Redknapp. Despite the club’s failure to qualify to the Champions League and interest from heavyweights such as Barcelona and Real Madrid, Gareth Bale has pledged his support to his side....

Garitano, who formerly coached Valladolid and Eibar, on Friday faced reporters just an hour after Deportivo announced they have signed him for the 2016-17 season, reports Efe. “What they offered me is a one-year deal and I think it’s fair because the coach has to demonstrate his value. I don’t care that it’s one year. I see it as logical, we coaches need to show our worth every day,” he told the media....

Ethylene gas is used in the manufacture of most plastic products, and is made from oil or natural gas. Bacteria examined in a study published in the journal Science gave off ethylene after metabolizing sulfur. The team stumbled across the discovery by mistake. They were growing and observing Rhodospirillum rubrum bacteria and its relatives in a lab for an ongoing study, to understand what would happen if they did not have access to sulfur, which they need to live....

Operating a gas station in the desert might not seem like the most exciting pitch for a hit game. However, Gas Station Simulator offers exactly that experience and appears to be doing quite well for itself on Steam.

The Three Lions reached their first World Cup semi-final since 1990 in Russia this year in a campaign that greatly boosted the harmony between the national team, the fans and the media following years of tournament disappointment.

Milan scored four times in the second half to prevail 5-2 on Thursday, but not before falling behind to their modest opposition. Dominik Stolz and David Turpel silenced San Siro as they overturned Patrick Cutrone’s 21st-minute opener with well-taken finishes either side of half-time. The Rossoneri eventually recovered with two own goals and one apiece from Hakan Calhanoglu and Fabio Borini establishing a strong position ahead of their final Group F fixture away to Olympiacos, where a point or one-goal loss would be enough to advance....
