Rumor Report | Magic Johnson"s Wife Gets REAL, Kid Cudi vs Drake and Kanye
The relationship between longtime collaborators Kanye West and Kid Cudi appeared to sour on Wednesday after Kid Cudi tweeted that West and Drake "don"t give a f**k about me." On his Saint Pablo tour in Tampa, Florida later that night, West issued a passionate rebuke from his floating platform: "Don"t ever mention "Ye["s] name," he noted. Later he added, "I"m so hurt." Kanye and Cudi have worked together frequently since the former"s landmark 808s & Heartbreak album in 2008.
Kanye recently confirmed that he was working on a long-rumored mixtape with Drake. Cudi appeared to feel left out of the project, and he took to Twitter to air his grievances. "Everyone thinks they"re soooo great," he wrote. "Talkin top 5 and be having 30 people write songs for them." Roughly 30 minutes later, he added, "My tweets apply to who they apply. Ye, Drake, whoever. These n****s dont give a f**k about me. And they aint f****n with me ... Ive been loyal to those who haven"t been to me and that ends now. Now im your threat."
Kanye offered a scathing retort hours later, firing back while the wounds were still fresh. The rapper stopped a performance of his remix of Chief Keef"s "I Don"t Like" surely not a coincidence to declare, "Kid Cudi, don"t never mention Ye name. I birthed you."
"We all dealing with that evil s**t all the time," the rapper continued. "Don"t ever mention "Ye name. Don"t try to say who I can do songs with. You mad "case I"m doing songs with Drake? Ain"t nobody tellin" "Ye who to do songs with. Respect the G*d."
West appeared to be stung, and repeatedly suggested that he and Cudi were on the same side. "I feel so disrespected," he said. "Kid Cudi, we"re two black men in a racist world. I wore skinny jeans first. I got called names before you, bruh. Why y"all gotta be coming at me? This ain"t the end of the Malcolm X movie. I"m out here fighting for y"all: creatives, artists, independent thinkers. Dont never mention my name in a bad manner."
Drake also responded to Cudi"s remarks while onstage in Oakland, California by defending West. "I heard boys were talking down today. Shoutout to my brother Kanye West. We both got sold out shows," the rapper said, adding, "boy you gettin way too high, you need to cud-it," a reference to O.T. Genasis" song "Cut It."
It wants continuation of the single passport system for financial services, and clearing of euro transactions in London. If Japanese financial institutions are unable to maintain the single passport obtained in the UK they might have to relocate their operations from the UK to existing establishments in the EU, it said.
The task force insists on mutual recognition of Authorized Economic Operators, which could not occur if Britain fell back to the minimalist terms of the World Trade Organisation. If the UK fails to retain the European Medicines Agency, Japanese pharmaceutical companies might shift research and investment to mainland Europe.
It wants guaranteed access for EU and UK nationals to work in each others country, which is not the same thing as free movement of labour or benefit rights. While the paper stresses that Japan respects the will of the British people, it cleaves to the status quo. The message is essentially that nothing should really change, said Raoul Ruparel from Open Europe.
The wish-list could perhaps be achieved through a halfway house such as entry into the European Economic Area, the Norwegian model. It is totally incompatible with the hardline demands of the Brexit triumvirate.
The task force paper is probably music to the ears of 10 and 11 Downing Street, and its release during the G20 summit may have been co-ordinated. It strengthens Theresa Mays hand as she tries to steer through treacherous waters, and pushes within the cabinet for a compromise soft Brexit - or a seamless Brexit as Tokyo calls it.
Japans demarche should not be read as a threat to Britain. The document is equally addressed to the EU, making it clear that the EUs own credibility is on the line and that any attempt to punish Britain would be intolerable.
It urges the EU to recognize that Britain cannot on its own deliver these terms, and thatEU officials must heed the voices of Japanese businesses to the fullest extent and to do their utmost to cooperate in taking the necessary measures to advance the Brexit negotiations, it said.
The thrust is clear. A vasteconomic structure has been built over the decades on the assumption of unrestricted trade and financial transactions between Britain and Europe, and drastic changes would be morally unjustifiable. Since it is the EU that is threatening to put up commercial barriers not Britain much of paper is directed squarely at Brussels, Berlin, and Paris.
A new post-referendum order is emerging in the world. The US has subtly pivoted. It is no longer warning of Armageddon for Britain, switching instead on how best to ensure that the UKs withdrawal from the EU is the least destructive possible.
Were going to do everything we can to make sure that the consequences of the decision dont end up unraveling what is already a very strong and robust economic relationship, said President Barack Obama at the G20. Washingtons enormous power will increasingly be brought to bear ontheEuropejust as much as it is being brought to bearonBritain, an equivalence that was lacking during the Brexit campaign.
The late summer rebound in the UK is a welcome reprieve but it means little. The health of the British economy will be determined by investment decisions stretching out over ten to fifteen years, and many of these will be take by powerful interests in Asia and the US. Japans polite but unprecedented intervention is a diplomatic cannon shot.
Những Pha Phản Công THẦN TỐC - KINH ĐIỂN Của Real Madrid
Cristiano Ronaldo marked his 350th game in a Real Madrid shirt by saving their blushes with a late free-kick against Sporting Lisbon to help them stage a late comeback and win a game they looked like losing.
Ronaldo"s strike cancelled out the visitors" 46th minute opener and when Alvaro Morata headed in James Rodriguez" cross with the last move of the game, Zinedine Zidane"s team had somehow taken all three points from a match they struggled in throughout.
Jorge Jesus" lively Sporting side had taken full advantage of the fact that the Champions League holders were not so much resting on their laurels as fast asleep on them for the most part and Bruno Cesar gave them a rude awakening when he scored the opening goal.

MATCH FACTS
REAL MADRID (4-3-3): Casilla, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos,Marcelo,Modric, Casemiro, Kroos (Rodriguez 77),Bale (Lucas 67),Benzema (Morata 68), Ronaldo
Unused subs: Beto, Schelotto, Paulo Oliveira, Andre Felipe
Booked: Adrien Silva,William Carvalho,Zeegelaar.
Goal: Bruno Cesar 47
Referee: Paolo Tagliavento (Italy)
Ronaldo"s response was his 94th Champions League goal and as promised he barely celebrated it against the first team he ever played professionally for.
In truth there was very little to celebrate from such a below par performance from Madrid. But Ronaldo always scores against Sporting he did it twice for Manchester United - and his late free-kick was perfectly placed past Rui Patricio.
Real Madrid did not concede a single goal at home last season as they won this competition. Already that defensive record has been broken but the win is all that matters and Rodriguez and Morata, who both started the game on the bench, combined to deliver the three points.
Sporting were coming into the game on a run of four straight league wins and they had the first chance when Cesar found a surprising amount of space on the edge of the area and curled his shot just wide of Kiko Casilla"s right post.
They fashioned the second chance too when Gelson Martins shot from the right and Casilla had to palm the shot away.
Gareth Bale was the first to threaten for Madrid. He broke down the right cutting past Marvin Zeegelaar and his shot was smothered by Patricio at his near post. Bale then swapped wings and crossed dangerously from the left only for Ruben Semedo to clear. On the three year anniversary of the Welshman"s debut for Real Madrid he was their brightest player.
For Sporting, Martins was giving Marcelo a torrid time down the Madrid left. The 21-year-old looks like being the next big thing to come from the club"s Alcochete Academy and several times in the first half he exposed the space behind the Brazilian full back.

When he crossed dangerously on 33 minutes all it needed was a touch from a team-mate on the edge of the six-yard area and Real would have been behind.
Bale was clattered by Joao Pereira and hobbled off at half time. It looked like 50-50 challenge but Real Madrid were awarded a free-kick and from it Ronaldo skimmed the top of the net.
The Wales star appeared to tell Zidane he was fine to carry on some good news for the Madrid manager after watching his side put in an average first half performance against a spirited and confident Sporting side looking every bit like the best team in Portugal on current form.
Bale did emerge for the second half but the real Real Madrid did not. They looked just as off the pace at the start of the second period and it was no surprise when they went behind on 46 minutes.

Not surprisingly it was Martins who carried the ball forward with menace but Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric seemed to get in each other"s way as both tried to clear and the ball ran to Cesar, who swept it in from the edge of the area.
Sporting coach Jesus was sent off for dissent after William Carvalho was booked but from his new position just behind the dug-out everything must have looked rosy with Real showing no sign of breaking down his team.
Zidane finally made changes with 20 minutes left. Bale was still feeling his hip after the knock he picked up at the end of the first half and he was replaced by Lucas Vazquez. Morata came on for Karim Benzema.
Vazquez made a difference with his direct running and from his cross Dani Carvajal volleyed over. Marcelo misplaced another pass and Zidane played his last card with Rodriguez coming on for Toni Kroos.
It was to be crucial when the Colombian set up the winner for Morata after Ronaldo"s timely intervention.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. A viral infection more common to babies and toddlers has hit Florida State University student living quarters, prompting university officials to cancel several events this week, including fraternity rush activities.
An outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease has struck a small group of students, officials said.
We are aware of more than a dozen cases so far, said Lesley Sacher, director of the FSU Health and Wellness Center in a university release.
There is no treatment for the virus, which can cause mouth sores, skin rash and fever, according to the Centers for Disease Control. It takes about five days for the infection to run its course, university officials said.
FSU crews are wiping down affected dormitories with bleach and enacting "sanitation protocols for all public spaces on campus," officials said. All living areas dorms, fraternity and sorority houses, and others have been advised to disinfect and provide bottles of hand sanitizers if they don"t already have them.
Students should take the necessary precautions to sanitize their living and communal spaces including bathrooms, said Tom Jacobson, director of Environmental Health & Safety.
Some fraternity members contracted the disease, so the university cancelled several events, including rush, on Tuesday night as a precaution to limit exposure for students while various buildings were being cleaned," FSU spokeswoman Browning Brooks said.
The university notified the county health department immediately, Sacher said. FSU also will reach out to local restaurants and bars to sanitize their establishments.
The most important piece of advice is to wash your hands often with soap and water, Sacher said.
Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common viral illness usually contracted by infants and children under five but can sometimes occur in adults, the CDC said. Symptoms include fever, mouth sores and skin rash. Adults can show no symptoms at all and still pass the virus onto others.
Its a highly contagious disease that can be transmitted from person to person via direct contact with unwashed hands, by coughing and sneezing, or contact with blister fluid or surfaces contaminated with feces, the CDC said.
However, the CDC said, large outbreaks of the disease are uncommon in the U.S. The most common cause of hand, foot and mouth disease in the U.S. is the Coxsackie A16 virus.
It is often confused with hoof-and-mouth disease, which is a different virus that only affects livestock.

Forest officials are seeking public comments about the shuttle operations in Sabino Canyon as part of the process to issue a 20-year permit to continue that service.
A draft environmental assessment by the Coronado National Forest presents four alternatives for future operation of the Sabino Canyon shuttles, and members of the public have until Oct. 13 to submit comments on the proposals.
Canyon shuttles, also known as trams, are operated by a private concessionaire, Sabino Canyon Tours, and carry visitors up the main canyon road and to the nearby Bear Canyon area. About 150,000 riders use the shuttle service to tour the scenic canyons each year, according to forest officials.
Some visitors have expressed concerns about shuttle noise and emissions from the vehicles. If approved, the new permit would require the modernizing of the shuttle companys 1970s-era fleet, including the audio systems used to provide narrative descriptions to riders.
The alternatives proposed range from a baseline alternative, in which no permit would be issued for shuttle operations, to alternatives requiring compliance with new design features involving noise, safety, emissions and other factors.
Documents from the Coronado Forest list these alternatives for future shuttle operations. Forest officials will review the comments to use in their decision on whether to grant a new permit by July 2017:
Alternative 1 The no-action alternative provides a baseline for comparing the effects of the other proposals. Under this alternative, a permit allowing the shuttle service would not be issued effectively ending the service.
Under Alternative 1, there would be no shuttle service in the canyon, said Heidi Schewel, spokeswoman for the forest. Were not proposing to get rid of the (existing) shuttle. This is just a baseline alternative.
Alternative 2 Under this alternative, a permit for the operation and maintenance of a shuttle system would be issued. This proposal would mandate compliance with a number of new design features required for shuttles and operations to avoid or reduce adverse environmental effects. These design features would set limitations on noise and mandate compliance with safety and emission standards, protection of natural resources and conformity with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Frequency of service would be slightly modified compared with current levels.
Schewel said this alternative would include maximum speed limits of 15 mph in the recreation area and compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards for shuttle vehicles. It also would include compliance with state motor vehicle emission requirements and limitations on vehicle noise, Schewel said.
Alternative 3 Current operations: A permit for the operation and maintenance of the existing shuttle system would be issued. Operations and frequency of service would be consistent with todays service.
Alternative 4 In this alternative, shuttle operations and design features would be identical to Alternative 2, however, this one includes the addition of one early morning shuttle between the hours of 6 and 9 a.m., and one late-evening shuttle between the hours of 5 and 9 p.m.
See the accompanying information boxes to learn where to review the environmental assessment and how to comment on it.

Real Madrid vs Osasuna 5-2 All Goals 10/09/2016 HD 1080i
Pepe has revealed the one Barcelona player he would like to see sign for Real Madrid.
The Portugal defender was asked to name one player from their fierce rivals he would love to see wearing the white of Los Blancos by Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.
But instead of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez or Neymar, the Pepe named compatriot Andre Gomes.
He said: "No, I think we"re alright... Andre Gomes? Yes, we played together in the national team, but he wanted to go to Barcelona.
Gomes moved to the Nou Camp this summer for 41.7million but is yet to feature for Luis Enriques side this season.
Sergio Ramos will begin his journey to make history when Madrid face Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League this evening.
Ramos scored as the La Liga giants beat fierce rivals Atletico Madrid to lift the trophy back in May.
He is now aiming to become the first man to lift the trophy in consecutive years.
No team has ever retained the Champions League under the current format.
Manchester United have come the closest, but lost to Barcelona in the 2009 final.
Gareth Bale is dreaming of winning the Champions League in his hometown in Cardiff.
This season"s final takes place at the National Stadium in the Welsh capital next June.
And Bale, who has won the competition twice since joining Madrid from Tottenham in 2013, is dreaming of lifting the trophy in his own back yard.
I played in the 2014 Super Cup in Cardiff and it was an amazing experience to have my friends and family close by," he said.
I suppose theres a little more motivation if there needs to be any more. Our aim is to win. We have only found out who is in the group. Its a difficult group.
Everyone wants to beat Real Madrid. We will just be concentrating on getting out of the group.
We know we have a chance to make history and we will be trying our best to do that.
Canada vs Russia | World Cup of Hockey 2016 | Full HIghlights | Crosby vs Ovechkin | 09.14.16 (HD)
So what we had Wednesday night on supposedly neutral ice in the CONSOL Energy Center was an intense game plenty of hits, nice plays, and tight checking before a crowd of a little more than 12,000 that leaned toward Canada, but cared mostly what Crosby or Malkin did. Both were cheered lustily.
Its been weird today, feeling like youre on the road, said Crosby, sitting in his usual stall after the game. To get a reception like that, to play for Team Canada here in Pittsburgh, its special. I know it was an exhibition game, with Geno (Malkin) on the other side, Canada-Russia, thats a big rivalry.
To have the support here meant a lot. Now we have to get ready for the tournament.
It was in the final tune-up for both teams before the tournament gets underway finally in Toronto on Saturday night. Ryan Getzlaf converted his breakaway at 3:20 of overtime to improve Canadas record to 2-1-0 in exhibition play. Russia goes into the World Cup with a 1-0-2 record.
Thats a great game to end the exhibition games on, said winning goalie Carey Price, who faced 26 shots. Overall, we played very well. It wasnt mistake-free, but I thought we ironed out a few things.
Canada took seven minors, including two for too many men. Canada also surrendered a 1-0 lead in the third, but rallied to force the overtime.
Crosby was spectacular, saucering passes and making plays. He set up Canadas first-period goal by Patrice Bergeron with a nifty backhander.
Ovechkin did what he could do, as well, making singular plays and scoring Russias tying goal at 3:40 of the third period on his patented one-timer from the boards. That got a lot of boos. Malkin got the assist, announced to cheers.
Crosby the top pick in the 2005 draft and Ovechkin the top pick in 2004 came into the league at the same time, to start the 2005-06 season. Both deemed franchise players, they were saddled with the mantle of saviours of the league that had shot itself in the foot by locking out its players the entire 2004-05 season.
Neither disappointed on an individual basis. Crosbys teams, however, have been far more successful.
For those counting the hardware, Crosby has won the Stanley Cup twice, Olympic gold twice, the world championship once, and the world juniors once.
Ovechkin has three world championship golds, and one world junior gold.
Theyre both elite players, Canada head coach Mike Babcock said.
This could be their swan song, internationally speaking. Theres no guarantee the NHL will send its players to South Korea in 2018. And by the time 2022 comes around (Beijing), both will be in their mid-30s.
Ovechkin is representing Russia for the 20th time. Crosby is representing Canada for the seventh.
I dont know if much has changed, said Crosby. Theres always that rivalry between two teams. Its always talked about. Its out of our hands. Were competitors. We both want to win. We both want to be our best and focus on the game.
Im not worried about it. When theres a big game, or a big stage, both of us want to be at our best, just like anyone else would. We just want to win. Thats really what you play for.
Caught in the middle of all of this is Malkin, Crosbys teammate with the Penguins, and Ovechkins teammate on Russia. Malkin wont compare one to another.
I dont like to talk about that, said Malkin. I know Alex. Hes a good guy. He really wants to win a Stanley Cup. Its tough talking about Stanley Cups. I hope Ovechkin wins (one) too eventually. But when we play against Washington, we want to win every game.
