Dressed for the heat: Her white outfit showcased her cleavage and midriff

She and her Modern Family co-star Nolan Gould were heading into a party in Malibu, and she held what looked like a gift bag with a yellow envelope protruding from it.

A scarlet purse was slung from her left shoulder and matched the faux fur pom pom she"d attached to it.

Letting her black hair fall free, the Los Angeles native completed her ensemble with a pair of wedge shoes featuring gleaming tangles of straps.

Ventilation: Her lacy high-cut shorts were so sheer that her white underwear was distinctly visible underneath

Meanwhile, 17-year-old Nolan, who plays Ariel"s Modern Family character Alex" younger brother Luke, kept his outfit simple with a white T-shirt over purple and white shorts.

Covering the November issue of Seventeen, Ariel opened up therein about becoming comfortable with her body despite the fact "I wake up and I have tweets to me about how I"m a fat, ugly blah-blah."

She conceded that "When I was younger, it took a lot more of a toll on me than it does now.Three or four years ago, I would have been devastated, like, Why do people feel this way about me? I"m just being me."

Actress Shanelle Workman, her 38-year-old sister, who in 2014 became her legal guardian, "helped me understand that people will say those things regardless of how you look. I tell myself every day, "I look fabulous.""

"All of these guys ultimately snitch": "El Chapo" Guzm�n may be thinking about cutting a deal with the US


‘El Chapo’ Judge Gunned Down In Front Of His House In Mexico

Sinaloa cartel kingpin Joaqun "El Chapo" Guzmn continues to wait on a judge"s decision whether to uphold or strike down his appeal against extradition to the US.

The legal gears are already turning in the US, where the Department of Justice and prosecutors are preparingto face the drug boss in court, and in Mexico Guzmn and his legal team may be getting ready for a different kind of showdown.

In an interview with El Universal published on September 20, Jose Refugio Rodriguez, one of Guzmn"s lawyers, said that while they would exhaust all the available means of avoiding his transfer out of Mexico, the legal team Guzmnhas in the US was prepared to open negotiations in order to make sure Guzmn spends as little time as possible in jail.

This is not the first time Guzmn"s representatives have broached negotiations with US authorities. In an interview in February, Rodriguez said that the kingpin had"suggested to me the possible option of reaching an agreement with the United States government to consent to the extradition."

According to Rodriguez, Guzmn was"willingto accept his culpability" for charges filed in the US if he were given guarantees that he would not be"held in a maximum-security prison where he would not have contact with other inmates or where he would not see the light of the sun for more than an hour a day" stipulations likely referring to the supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.

Those terms may be too ambitious for US prosecutors, however.

"The government has no interest whatsoever in negotiating for any leniency vis vis Chapo Guzmn,"Peter Vincent, a former legal adviser at the US Department of Homeland Security, told Business Insider.

That would not preclude any negotiations, though. "However, what El Chapo Guzmn can do, and what he may likely do, is negotiate to protect certain members of his family from facing additional prosecution either in Mexico or the United States by turning on some of his former lieutenants," Vincent said, adding:

"And for all of the bravado, for all of the tough talk, for all of their viciousness, all of these guys ultimately snitch and provide information to law enforcement and intelligence agencies that compromise ongoing operations and the activities and location of their colleagues, cohorts, and lieutenants."

Guzmn is perhaps as close to a human-intelligence bonanza as US and Mexican authorities would have seen in recent memory.

He reportedly got involved in the Mexican drug trade in the late 1960s or early 1970s, and some of his relatives were members of a cabal of traffickers who formed a Sinaloa-state-based trafficking organization that would go on to spawn some of Mexico"s most high-profile drug cartels.

Guzmn would eventually assume leadership of the Sinaloa cartel and go on to defeat many of those related organizations, including the Juarez cartel in a b****y battle centered on Ciudad Juarez.

His decades-long involvement in Mexico"s drug trade, as well as his ties to the powerful but shadowy Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, who is believed to be Guzmn"s peer in the Sinaloa hierarchy, no doubt means "El Chapo" has deep knowledge of the cartel makeup in Mexico, though it"s possible his stints in jail and away from the cartel over the last two years has dated some of his information.

In a potential negotiation with US authorities, Guzmn may have a more personal reason to talk. Recent events on and near his home turf in Sinaloa state suggest that, in his absence, his family and the Sinaloa cartel are being drawn into conflict with rival organizations and erstwhile allies.

Earlier this summer, an armed group mounted an attack on his hometown that forced his mother from her home. In August, at least one of his sons was briefly abducted from a posh restaurant in Puerta Vallarta, allegedly by members of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, the Sinaloa cartel"s increasingly powerful rival.

Most recently, Guzmn"s sons were implicated in an attack on a military convoy in the Sinaloa state capital that left five soldiers dead; the sons, speaking through Rodriguez, denied any connection to the attack.

"I have no doubt that in this case, as in every other case I"ve seen, "El Chapo" Guzmn trying to gain a better ... situation for his family in Mexico, having them placed in some sort of witness protection ...may actually turn a plea deal and not go to trial," Vincent told Business Insider.

Overwatch Sombra ARG reaches new, seemingly anticlimactic milestone


Overwatch | Sombra Countup Ende | Infos und Fakten | Bastion Morsecode uvm ★ Overwatch Deutsch

After months of teasing (and apparent leaks), Blizzards long-running alternate reality game for Overwatch one that, players theorize, will conclude in the reveal of a new character, Sombra looked like it was coming to an end today. Fans of the team-based shooter were paying close attention to a simple website that updated at a glacial pace over the course of many weeks, hoping that when a counter reached 100 percent, Sombra would be officially unveiled.

No such luck.

Instead, Overwatch fans were treated to an updated message on that website, amomentincrime.com. The new message read:

...Transmisin finalizada - finalizando carga... ...Carga finalizada. Unidad Bastion E-54 comprometida...

That translates to, roughly, Transmission complete. Completing load. Load complete. Unit E-54 Bastion compromised. In other words, Sombra, a computer expert who had been hacking into an unidentified network over the course of the past eight weeks, had hacked into the last remaining Bastion unit, who is playable in Overwatch.

Blizzard released a new update for Overwatch today, right around the same time that the A Moment In Crime website was updated. Players quickly went digging to discover what was new. So far, they havent found much. Bastion doesnt appear to have changed its behavior in the game.

The only new clue players have discovered is a message hidden in the A Moment In Crime websites HTML. That message is:

v1.4.0.2.324??

That number looks awfully close to the versioning numbers Blizzard uses for Overwatch, but so far, players havent cracked the version numbers significance. Players have also noticed that the number of cosmetic items available per hero in Overwatchs Hero Gallery appears to be a bit ... glitchy, indicating that if Sombra does appear soon, Blizzard may have more skins, emotes, sprays and voice lines queued up and ready to go for her arrival. That, or Overwatchs latest update introduced a minor bug.

Players are currently hammering out other theories, including one where theyre monitoring Bastions blinking eye in the robots recently added Halloween-themed victory pose, just in case Bastion is now communicating via Morse code.

Regardless of players findings, many Overwatch fans are expressing fatigue and annoyance at the painfully slow unveiling of Sombra. One of the most popular threads on Reddit is titled Blizzard please do not treat any heroes in the future like you have with Sombra. It reads:

Let me start by saying some of the ARG stuff is cool. Like the website or small hints in game. However all this Sombra "hype" has reached a point where I"m completely sick and tired of hearing about her. Sure, I"m excited for a new hero. But at this point Sombra has become more of a meme than an actual character. And nothing they introduce with her will be able to live up to the, frankly frustrating, amount of hype she"s been given. It seems like every time we"re FINALLY going to see a release, it turns out to be yet another teaser.

I guess the short answer is I"m sick of hearing about her. And if this is how every hero is going to be treated from now on, I worry every character will be released to disappointment rather than excitement.

Many Overwatch players on the games subreddit appear to agree with that sentiment.

Blizzard treated the reveal of Overwatchs first post-launch character, Ana, quite differently. The company dropped a few hints about her on Twitter one week, then made her playable the following week. That was in July, when the Sombra ARG kicked off in earnest.

Overwatch fans may have to ration their patience a bit longer, as Blizzard will hold its annual fan-focused convention, BlizzCon, in just a few weeks. BlizzCon 2016 will take place Nov. 4-5 in Anaheim, California. Hopefully, Sombra will emerge from the shadows before then, for the safety and sanity of all attendees.

Tulane"s back where it started after Big 12 expansion scenarios fizzle


Six candidates for Big 12 expansion: Yay or Nay?

The Big 12s latest expansion talks turned into another big tease, meaning Tulane and 10 other schools that interviewed with the conference in September are right back where they started.

For Tulane, that means trying to become a contender in the American Athletic Conference, considered the top league outside of the "Power Five" conferences that dominate attention and revenue in college football.

The Green Wave is 3-15 in AAC football games through two-plus years and is coming off a last-place finish in mens basketball, prompting new athletic director Troy Dannen to hire Willie Fritz as his football coach and Mike Dunleavy as his hoops coach soon after arriving in New Orleans. Fritz has guided the Wave to a 3-3 start for only the second time in 13 years, but Tulane is 0-2 in conference play, home losses to Navy and Memphis.

Dannen was traveling Monday night and unreachable for comment, but he has made his position clear on elevating Tulanes athletic program since he arrived.

I expect to compete with the Big 12 and the ACC day in, day out in every sport whether Im in their league or not in their league so Ive got to make sure our program is in a position to do that, he said in January. You shouldnt look at one duck and be able to tell its Tulane and another duck and tell its Duke or another duck and tell its TCU. I want us to look like all the other ducks in the pond.

Tulanes Big 12 candidacy hinged on its sterling academic reputation. It is one of 62 members of the Association of American Universities, which is limited to top research institutions. Buffalo and Rice were the only other FBS members not already in a "Power Five" conference, so it was no coincidence when Tulane and Rice made the initial cut among 20 schools on the Big 12"s list, while Memphis did not.

Still, the Wave was considered a long shot even if the Big 12 expanded by four and out of the picture if the league expanded by two, with Houston, BYU, Cincinnati and UConn the favorites in almost every scenario.

It turned out that no one had a shot, with the Big 12s unanimous decision to stand pat leaving the AAC intact at 12 teams. Six of the 11 Big 12 expansion finalists were from the AAC, with Central Florida and South Florida the other league teams under consideration. The AAC would have struggled to replace any defectors with equivalent programs.

Tulane thought it was joining a power conference when it accepted an invitation from the Big East in November 2012. A day later, Louisville announced it was leaving for the ACC. Soon after, the league split in half, with its non-football members retaining the Big East label while the football schools became the AAC.

There is a huge gap between the AAC and Big 12 in revenue. The Big 12"s television contracts with ESPN and Fox, which run through 2024-25, are worth more than $20 million per year for each school. Each member of the AAC earns about $2 million annually from deals with ESPN and CBS Sports that run through 2019-20.

On the field, the difference has been much smaller. The AAC is 29-14 in nonconference games this year, and the Big 12 is 19-11. Houston beat Big 12 favorite Oklahoma 33-23 to start the season, rising to No. 6 in The Associated Press poll before losing to fellow AAC school Navy.

Juan Mata and Ashley Young mock Eric Bailly for wearing white sandals


Liverpool vs Manchester United 0-0 Full Highlights HD ~ EPL 17/10/2016
  • Juan Mata and Ashley Young mischievously mocked mystery team-mate
  • The Manchester United stars posted photos of hideous white sandals
  • The pair asked fans to guess the owner of the questionable footwear
  • The man in question turned out to be powerful centre back Eric Bailly

Juan Mata and Ashley Young have been attempting to inject life back into Manchester United after their incredibly dull 0-0 draw with Liverpool at Anfield.

The two midfielders got their hands on a pair of white sandals at United"s training ground on Tuesday and proceeded to mock the owner of the questionable footwear, who they eventually revealed to be Eric Bailly.

Mata and Young both took to Instagram to ask their fans to guess the culprit, and two names popped up more than most.

Bailly"s sense to sniff out danger in defence is much stronger than his fashion sense

Mata was an unused substitute in his side"s draw at Anfield while Young started the match

Messrs Bailly and Paul Pogba were both regularly suggested by fans in the comments section, and it was later revealed by Mata that the Ivorian defender was the fashion offender.

Mischief maker Young started his first league game for Manchester United since January at Anfield on Monday and played his part in helping Jose Mourinho"s men disrupt and stifle an in-form Liverpool.

Young"s partner in crime Mata was an unused substitute during the clash between two of English football"s biggest heavyweights and will be hoping to see some action against Fenerbahce on Thursday.

Jose Mourinho has dropped Mata for his side"s two biggest games of the season so far

The Spaniard has surprisingly been an integral figure to United under Mourinho so far but the Portuguese has seen fit to drop him from his side"s two biggest games of the season.

As well as being dropped for the clash at Anfield, Mata was also an unused substitute when the Red Devils were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City at Old Trafford earlier in the season.

Azealia Banks" mother scolded her for racist Zayn Malik tirade - TV3 ...


Azealia Banks - Liquorice (Explicit)
18th Oct 16 | Entertainment News

Azealia Banks upset her mother with her racist rant directed at Zayn Malik.

In May (16) the 212 rapper caused outrage when she took aim at the former One Direction star after he appeared to respond to her comments about the similarities between his new video and her Yung Rapunzel promo.

Azealia launched into an extraordinary rant calling the British-Pakistani singer a "sand n**ger" and a "curry-scented b**ch" - and was subsequently banned from Twitter for contravening standards.

In an interview with British newspaper the London Evening Standard, Azealia admitted that as well as offending the Pillowtalk star and his fans, her mother wasn"t happy with her.

"My mother has never reprimanded me but she reprimanded me after the thing with Zayn happened. She was like, "Azealia, you hurt a lot of people". I was like, "f**k"," she recalled.

Azealia broke down in tears as she recalled her mother"s scolding, the interviewer wrote.

"It finally reconciled these two conflicting thoughts I had about being real and being professional," she continued. "I realised you"re not keeping it real by being a crazy girl. You don"t lose anything by keeping your mouth shut so maybe it"s time to stop being a crazy girl."

The Harlem born songstress tried to explain her outburst as just typical New York humour. However, she did acknowledge that she got carried away with the joke.

"There"s this crude, ignorant, mixed-up New York City humour where people call each other all kinds of f**ked-up s**t," she said. "I use the N-word all the time. I was being stupid, not trying to be hurtful... But there was a point to be made about being stolen from and then having to be the black person defending your blackness. Sometimes you just lose it."

Azealia"s comments came as the 25-year-old hit headlines again on Monday (17Oct16) after an alleged spat with actor Russell Crowe at a party in his room at a Beverly Hills hotel on Saturday (15Oct16). The rapper has now filed a police report, accusing the actor of allegedly spitting on her, calling her the N-word and kicking her out of a party she attended with label boss RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. But sources tell TMZ Azealia was the aggressor, and Russell took action when she allegedly became abusive towards him and another female guest.
