78 min: Mark Clattenburg books Willian for some indiscretion or other. So, that penalty - sure, there was contact between Matip and Costa, but that doesnt mean its a penalty and Im not so sure it was a foul by the Liverpool defender. Costa was bearing down on goal and theatrically threw himself to the ground when Matip tried to stop him. Helpfully, BT Sport have former referee Howard Webb on hand to clear up this sort of confusion but havent actually bothered to ask him what he thinks.
Joe On Firing Of AG Sally Yates: Using The Word "Betrayed" Is Frightening | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Not many people know what its like to publicly say no to the most powerful man in the world, who also happens to be your boss.
sally yates does. on monday, Yates, a holdover from the Obama administration, refused to defend President Trumps controversial refugee and immigrant ban. Hours later, he fired her from her post as acting attorney general.
William Ruckelshaus also knows what its like.
He was deputy attorney general in 1973 when he refused an order from President Nixon to fire the special prosecutor who was investigating Watergate.
In my judgment the decision to fire Archibald c*x was fundamentally wrong, as far as the president was concerned, Ruckelshaus, 84, who lives in Medina, said in a phone interview Monday night. I couldnt in good conscience do it.
Ruckelshaus and Attorney General Elliot Richardson were both fired the night of Oct. 20, 1973, which became known as the Saturday Night Massacre.
Ruckelshaus recognizes the parallels between the two situations. Both he and Yates were asked to carry out a presidential order and refused. In Ruckelshaus case, however, he was asked by the president to thwart an investigation into the president. Yates was only asked to defend the presidents policy in court.
Ruckelshaus, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015, says he doesnt know enough about the specifics to judge Yates actions, but it comes down to that concept of fundamentally wrong.
Just because you dont get your way with the president doesnt necessarily mean you refuse to take his orders, refuse to carry out his commands, he said. What Ive seen on television is theyre mostly arguing the legal points, and for me thats not as important as whether, under all the circumstances involved, she was asked to do something that she believed was fundamentally wrong. I dont know that.
Disobeying the president isnt an action to take lightly.
The president, after all, is elected; you werent, Ruckelshaus said. Whether or not hes carrying out the wishes of the people that elected him is a matter of some (debate), you could argue about that.
Ruckelshaus knew the moment he defied Nixon he would be fired. Hed sent a letter of resignation along with his refusal to fire c*x. That night, Nixons chief of staff announced Ruckelshaus was fired. The next day Nixon announced Ruckelshaus had resigned.
Depending on your point of view, I was both fired and resigned, he said.
Yates firing was not a surprise to him.
If he ordered her to carry out one of his orders, and she refused to do it, he doesnt have an awful lot of choices if he wants the order carried out, Ruckelshaus said.
Ruckelshaus, who has voted Democratic since President Obamas first election, had one bit of advice for Trump.
I would just, without being too effrontery about it, caution the president to exercise a little more care in these types of orders, he said.
Because they can end this way, and that doesnt help him discharging his responsibilities.

conan exiles lets you play with yourself like no other game has.
Like most RPG-flavored video games, Conan Exiles includes a robust set of options for character customization. But there"s one category where this character creator differs: the "endowment" slider.
For male characters, the slider tweaks the size of your twig and berries, ranging from a micropenis to a Magnum-filling flesh rope. For female characters, it"s a b**b slider.
Observe the male slider in action (with thanks to PC Gamer).
Conan Exiles is an open world survival game, in the vein of past releases like H1Z1, DayZ and Rust. The last of those also famously does some fun things with in-game penises.
The Conan game is still in early access, meaning what you can buy right now is unfinished and still in active development. We may well see an expansion of the game"s character creator in the coming months.
There"s never been anything quite like this "endowment slider" in other games. The closest the industry has come was with Saint"s Row: The Third"s clothing-covered "s*x appeal" slider. Rust treated the player"s package as a randomly generated asset and other games such as Soulcalibur V have given players the tools to cheat their way to testicular greatness, but nothing so overt as this.
If Joaquin El Chapo Guzman thinks hes going to escape from an American prison like he did from a Mexican penitentiary, hes got another thing coming, a federal official said Friday.
I can assure you no tunnel will be built leading to his bathroom, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special Agent in Charge Angel Melendez announced during a press conference at Brooklyn Federal Court.
Melendez was referring to Guzmans infamous 2015 Houdini-like escape from a Mexican maximum-security prison when he rode a motorcycle on a track through a tunnel after he slipped out of his cell through a hole he carved in the bathroom. He was recaptured after six months on the lam.
At the press conference, Eastern District U.S. Attorney Robert Capers said that Brooklyn was the best venue for Guzman to be tried for his multitude of crimes despite the fact that the kingpin has been indicted in several other jurisdictions from coast to coast.
When asked by a reporter why Brooklyn was chosen over other jurisdictions, Capers fired back, Because its Brooklyn! prompting laughter from everyone in the room.
Sorry, I couldnt pass that up, Capers said, adding, There were several multi-ton seizures of narcotics, heroine, cocaine and methamphetamine that occurred here in this district.
Another reporter asked whether Sean Penn would be called as a witness. The Hollywood star interviewed Guzman for Rolling Stone magazine while the drug lord was still on the lam in 2015.
Capers didnt deny that Penn might make a cameo at the trial, saying only that more than 40 witnesses will be called to testify.
Guzman will be arraigned Friday afternoon in Brooklyn Federal Court on a 17-count indictment charging him with money laundering and the manufacturing and distribution of cocaine, heroin and other deadly drugs.

He was extradited to New York on Thursday night, flying under heavily armed guard in a military plane to Macarthur airport on Long Island.
If convicted, Guzman faces life in prison.
Melendez said he and other top federal officials were present when El Chapo was hauled off the plane at Macarthur Airport. He provided reporters with a vivid account of the now diminished drug lord.
As he deplaned, the most notorious criminal of modern times, as you looked into his eyes, you could see surprise, you could see shock and to a certain extent, you could actually see the fear as the realization started to kick in that hes about to face American justice, Melendez said.
FBI Assistant Director in Charge William Sweeney said at the presser that Guzman ruled with an iron fist in Mexico creating a worldwide empire using murder intimidation and bribery to remain at the top.
AMD today made available a new set of ReLive drivers, version 17.1.2. They"re primarily aimed at Radeon graphics card owners who plan on playing early builds of Conan Exiles, which hits Steam early access tomorrow, and Ghost Recon Wildlands, which kicks off its closed beta on February 3.
You won"t find any reference to conan exiles or Ghost Recon Wildands in the release notes, though AMD told us directly that the new drivers add support for both games. They also contain stability improvements and over a dozen bug fixes. Here is a look at them all:
AMD FreeSync technology may experience performance issues with Borderless Fullscreen application support when a secondary display is attached and has dynamic content running such as video playback in a web browser or if other applications or game launchers are running on the primary screen in the background. A workaround if this issue is experienced is to minimize all other running applications that are on the primary desktop display or on non-primary extended displays.
Radeon ReLive may fail to install during installation on some system configurations.
Battlefield 1 may experience flashing or corruption when running in Multi GPU with Radeon RX 400 series.
Instant Replay fails to enable itself after it has been turned off due to content protection.
Radeon Settings may not load on system boot for some system configurations.
Fixed some errors in translations for Radeon Settings and Radeon ReLive.
Audio recorded by Radeon ReLive may sometimes exhibit slow motion when played back.
Radeon ReLive may experience recording issues or issues toggling the Overlay/Toolbar when Frame Rate Target Control is enabled. Users are suggested to disable Frame Rate Target Control when using Radeon ReLive.
Mouse cursor may stutter in recorded video when there is limited on screen activity outside of minor mouse movement.
In AMD Multi GPU configurations the secondary graphics product will exit the low power state when Radeon ReLive is enabled.
Radeon ReLive may sometimes not be able to take screenshots of secondary displays.
Chromium may fail to utilize hybrid decode for VP9 content.
DOTA 2 may experience game corruption when performing a task switch while recording with Radeon ReLive in AMD Multi GPU configurations.
Radeon ReLive Overlay/Toolbar will not launch or Record when running League of Legends in Administrator Mode and Windowed Borderless Fullscreen.
Long ping times may be experienced with some WiFi adapters.
There are just as many known issues, some of which are specific to ReLive"s features. One of the bigger issues that AMD is working to resolve is that the Xbox DVR application can conflict with ReLive. If you"re running into that issue, AMD suggests disabling Xbox DVR for now as it works on a fix.
AMD is also aware of an issue where flicking is present on extended ReLive recordings that last for several hours.
First Take - Lebron James RIPS Apart Charles Barkley Attacking Him Personally
The Phoenix Suns finally made their 2016-17 national television debut Monday night.
That, in itself, isnt a bad thing.
Of course, it meant a late start time 8:45 p.m. local time, meaning basketball fans on the east coast would likely stick with the contest as long as it was a good game.
It wasnt.
The Suns lost their fourth straight game, 115-96, but the final score wasnt exactly indicative of the flow of the game. Memphis, who shot a blistering 57 percent (16-of-28) from three-point range, led by as many as 30 points in the second half.
