The deal contains an option for the Hornets to sign the former Manchester United midfielder on a permanent basis. OFFICIAL: Everton sign Schneiderlin Cleverley spent a season at Watford in 2009-10 during his time as a United player, scoring 11 times in 33 Championship appearances. The 27-year-old, capped 13 times by England, joined Everton on a free transfer before the start of last season but has found first-team opportunities this term hard to come by under Ronald Koeman....

About 1 in 5 American households rely on septic systems to handle their toilet waste, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. These systems work by draining flushed toilets into an underground tank, where bacteria breaks it down into water and solid sludge. That water moves through an outflow tube into a drainage field. However, as sea levels rise, those drainage fields are becoming saturated, preventing them from absorbing liquid from septic tanks....

They were right. Making the most of a two-week lull in the run-up to the March 4 voting, and penetrating the previously impermeable bubble surrounding Democratic rival Barack Obama in ways that resonated with late-deciding voters, Clinton scored back-from-the-grave wins in three of the four contests Tuesday evening. The second Clinton to bear the mantle “comeback kid” may still face daunting odds in amassing sufficient pledged delegates to clinch the nomination....

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor has been testifying in court in his $50 million defamation case against his ex-wife, who in turn is countersuing for $100 million for nuisance. Ugly details of the former couple’s tumultuous relationship have been aired in the Fairfax, Virginia, courtroom with the trial expected to last about seven weeks. Court proceedings have been televised, leading to numerous clips from the trial being widely shared....

In the 1991 Persian Gulf War, tank operators had to stop to change their engine filters every 10 to 15 miles. It was a time-consuming and potentially risky operation, involving two vehicles and exposing the crew to hostile fire. This time around, that’s one problem the Department of Defense hopes it has solved. Most of the M-1 tanks now moving through Iraq are equipped with a self-cleaning filter that can keep going for hundreds of miles without clogging....

This article reviews the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of clonus. Causes of Clonus Clonus is a type of stretch reflex, meaning that when a muscle group is stretched or stimulated, neurons perceive that stretch and cause contraction of the same muscle group. This type of reflex is meant to protect against strains and muscle tears. With clonus, however, the normal contraction occurs not once but several times before subsiding....

Not to get too ahead of itself, however, the Big N also confirmed release dates for the amiibo of existing downloadable Super Smash Bros. fighters Ryu and Roy. With the final batch of Smash add-ons set to arrive on Wii U and 3DS in February, it was announced that Roy and Ryu toys (with the addition of a Famicon-styled R.O.B.) will be hitting stores in North America on March 18, 2016....

With its 25 electoral votes, Florida always figured to be a decisive state in the election–but not like this. The Sunshine State is a remarkable kaleidoscope of the rest of the country, with transplants from every region and a diversity of political views to match. Republicans hoped Gov. Jeb Bush would carry the state for his big brother; Joe Lieberman spent enough time with local retirees to qualify for a time share....

According to a Tweet from the app’s official account on Sunday, spatial audio is available for iOS users, with Android compatibility coming soon. Clubhouse said the addition of the feature will make it easier to tell who is talking in a room when you’re listening with headphones. Clubhouse does note that you will not hear spatial audio when you’re on stage and that only audience members can hear spatial audio....

This was a jibe at the statement that Punk made when he made his shocking first appearance on the show last year. The promo didn’t sit well with Punk, and the former WWE Superstar decided to let The Miz know what he thinks of The A-lister. Punk posted a profanity-filled tweet targeting The Miz, while also taking a major shot at WWE’s association with Saudi Arabia. The tweet contains extremely foul language, and can be checked out on this link....

Harry Maguire rose to prominence following his sensational performance at the World Cup. Shortly afterwards, Manchester United were heavily linked with the English centre-back. The transfer saga went on till the very last day of the transfer window but the 25-year-old ended up staying at the King Power Stadium. Maguire is an essential part of Leicester City’s squad and has started all 4 games of the new Premier League season so far....

If you’re an optimist, you say that these trials and plea bargains and admissions show that the system is correcting itself and things are getting better. But the problem is that we keep getting new scandals. We’re not just chewing over old cases like Enron and Tyco. We’re seeing whole new patterns that continued way past the point when Enron imploded, which should have been a wake-up call for everyone....

Lawrence’s reasoning, as he laid out in a Twitter thread? That players would be less at risk for COVID-19 if they were under team supervision rather than away from the facilities. The Tigers star — a potential No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick next year — earlier called for a way to move forward on a season. Sunday night, Lawrence, Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields and Alabama running back Najee Harris helped to raised the stakes; they were among those who introduced a campaign for players to unionize, using the #WeWantToPlay hashtag, adding their voices to those of Pac-12 and Big Ten players who have called on schools to do more to ensure their health....

It was the expected response. MORE: Week 9 scores, highlights A 1-yard TD run by 315-pound defensive tackle Christian Wilkins four plays later, which helped turn a two-score lead into a 59-10 blowout, served as the Tigers’ response. No. 2 Clemson (8-0, 5-0 ACC) won big heading into November, and it’s going to take more than a cheap shot to derail a fourth straight ACC championship run. Florida State (4-4, 2-4) found out it isn’t even in the same neighborhood....

Now that those states have had their say, things don’t look much clearer. Late Tuesday night, Clinton was projected to win Arkansas, Arizona, California, Massachusetts (by a surprisingly large margin, given the endorsement of Obama by Sen. Ted Kennedy), Oklahoma, New York, New Jersey and Tennessee. Obama, for his part, was expected to carry Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota and Utah. (New Mexico hadn’t yet been called....

Clinton spoke of factors in the run up to her defeat in 2016, including former FBI Director James Comey’s investigation of her email server ahead of the election, before stating “Russia played a role.” The former first lady said that while she does not think something like Comey’s investigations will happen again, she believes issues with Russia are ongoing, suggesting that it could impact Biden’s run as Democratic presidential nominee in the build up to November’s election....

In a clip shared by user Noemi Zonta (@noemi_zonta) on November 3, a grief-stricken Chia can be seen curled up in her dog bed, while her owners try to comfort her. Chia’s older “brother,” a Boxer dog called Apollo, had died the day before, leaving the pup distraught. “Yesterday our older dog passed away,” Noemi wrote in the video caption. “His younger sister is not ok since then. She spent every second of her life with him....

As of 2014, 4.3 million Americans had jobs that paid tipped wages, the Economic Policy Institute reported. Despite how many people rely on tips for their livelihoods, actually receiving them from customers is far from a guarantee. As a result, the practice has become contentious and fiercely debated. Critics of tipping culture argue that the widespread practice “allows businesses to offload the burden of paying workers a fair wage to their customers” and has “racist, sexist, and degrading” roots....
