The Croatian had a decent first campaign as he made 32 appearances for the club in the Premier League.

London–about Prime Minister Tony Blair, architect of “New Labour” and apostle of the “Third Way” (American-style capitalism blended with European statism), the question is, what is there besides his grin? The Third Way is thin gruel, its mantra of “modernization” as watery as Bill Clinton’s 1992 celebration of “change.” Blair’s government, preoccupied with the politics of presentation, has a remarkably high ratio of rhetoric to real programs. However, it is advancing, or allowing to advance, the most radical agenda in the nation’s history....

Alderman Gilbert Villegas is leading the effort to bring a universal basic income to Chicago.

The young duo earned their first call-ups after carrying some good form in the first half of 2014 into the Apertura championship. The squad looks largely the same as it was for games last month against Chile and Bolivia, with the addition of 26-year-old Cruz Azul defender Julio Cesar Dominguez, who gets his first call-up under Herrera.
