Forget conventional wisdom, too. Germany is creating plenty of jobs, thank you–just not the right kind of workers. Competitive champions like Bornemann drive what German commentators are calling a “new economic miracle.” They are the backbone of export-driven growth that lately has lifted the onetime “sick man of Europe” and set it back on track for economic recovery. After half a decade of malaise, growth recently hit an annualized 3 percent and unemployment dipped below 4 million–the magic threshold last seen in 2001....

But every once in a while, he does pour his soul out in a conversation that doesn’t necessarily involve Arsenal. The man loves to talk about the game (he is a football purist at heart after all) and he never backs down from weighing in on matters both on and off the pitch. Wenger weighs in on the effects of the January transfer window Recently, he sat down for an exclusive interview with beIN Sports where he was asked to give his opinion on the transfer window and the Frenchman spoke at length about the problems that plague football managers in the modern game today....

Just like the recent Joker malware, these apps appear to be genuinely useful on first glance. Fitness trackers, QR code scanners and cryptocurrency trackers are tools many of us will have downloaded in the past without too much thought. They even work as advertised, so users are unlikely to suspect any malicious intent. However, over time these apps can be used to access huge amounts of personal data from the target device....

These days, it isn’t enough for Wolfgang Puck to have J. Lo and Ben as customers. He’d also better have an A from the county food inspector in the window. (Don’t worry, Spago fans. It’s there.) Four years after the L.A. County Department of Health Services initiated a much-publicized grading system for restaurant inspections, consumers are following the program to the letter. A new survey by the department shows that only one in four residents would eat at a restaurant with a B rating, and only three out of 100 would frequent a C eatery....

Bad news for Richards owners in keeper leagues: The club has no plans to shut down the righthander in order to limit his workload. Apparently the Angels haven’t been reading headlines around the league this season. Some of baseball’s top pitchers and Bronson Arroyo have succumbed to Tommy John surgeries this year and Richards, who averages 96.2 mph on his fastball with an 86.7 mph slider, fits the profile of a future TJS victim....

The threat was allegedly used so that Belarusian authorities could arrest a passenger, Raman Pratasevich, 26, a journalist and prominent critic who ran a popular messaging app that played a key role in helping organize massing protests against the authoritarian leader. White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, told Associated Press, “It constitutes a brazen affront to international peace and security by the regime. We demand an immediate international, transparent and credible investigation of this incident....

Under the proposal, the trucking industry would have to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 90 percent for every truck by 2031, according to the Associated Press. In a statement, the EPA said the proposal’s goal is to “deliver significant and needed public health benefits,” as cleaner air could reduce cases of asthma as well as deaths and hospitalizations from breathing problems. This is the first step in the EPA’s Cleaner Trucks Initiative, which aims to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) and greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty trucks through a series of rules released over several years....

The same buggy pitfalls that befell Skyrim after its multi-platform launch last November have, on Bethesda’s own admission, seeped into Dawnguard, the game’s first expansion. And while Xbox 360 and PC owners (since June 26 and August 2, respectively) have access to the now-smoothed-over editions of the DLC, Skyrim’s PS3 population has been hung out to dry - with little assurance for the future. We began growing concerned in July....

The process for migrating Bethesda games to Steam will take some coordinated effort from its users, and Bethesda has promised that an extensive guide will be made available to its customers on April 27th, when the migration process will officially take place. This migration will include both the game library and the wallet, ensuring that nothing is lost in the transfer. The only game not affected by this change is The Elder Scrolls Online, which will still keep its own separate launcher....

In short, all of these rumors have caused the speculation regarding Fallout 4 to reach a fever pitch among the franchise’s many fans, all without an official confirmation from the developer. But now, some of those same Internet sleuths are pointing to a page on Bethesda’s official website as further evidence that a Fallout sequel announcement could be imminent. The official Bethesda store has a “Brotherhood of Steel” necklace for sale....

The poll shows Abbott with 48 percent of the vote compared to O’Rourke’s 46 percent. The survey polled 1,125 Americans who said they “definitely plan” on going to the polls and was conducted from October 15 to 19. The margin of error for the poll is 2.8 percentage points. Meanwhile, a Texas Democratic strategist, who did not want to be named, told Newsweek on Sunday, “I can’t imagine Beto not capitalizing on this....

Now, he’ll have to pander to the single-issue constituencies within the Democratic Party, as well as the punditcrats who fell in love with him during his Senate bid, for enough support to keep his campaign afloat. That’s probably why he answered unhesitatingly and in the affirmative when CNN’s Don Lemon asked in a recent forum, “Religious institutions like colleges, churches, charities—should they lose their tax-exempt status if they oppose same-sex marriage?...

What’s the bank saying about all this? Spokeswoman Lisabeth Weiner insists that First Chicago’s investigation last year showed that no bank money was wagered in the pool. But Weiner admits that executives just last month refunded bank expenses for the displays and the party. Even so, that doesn’t satisfy Chicago alderman Robert Shaw, who is demanding that the bank’s executives explain their involvement in the gambling activity before the city goes ahead with a $400 million general-obligation bond issue for which First Chicago was to serve as underwriter....

Gore also solicited help from his boss, a veteran of three presidential debates with Perot. Clinton’s advice: take the offensive and don’t let Perot burnish his image as a populist. The veep was ready with a line of attack, painting Perot as a wealthy businessman whose enterprises stand to lose money if NAFTA passes; aides say he also was ready to label Perot a “union buster.” During the practice session, aides told Gore to be superaggressive in grilling Perot....
