That will be no easy task. Raúl will inherit a failed socialist economy that has never fully recovered from the collapse of the Soviet Union and the resulting loss of an annual multi-billion pipeline of aid that propped up Cuba’s Communist regime over three decades. The country’s once vaunted public health-care system has fallen on hard times, university graduates must make ends meet on salaries averaging $17 a month, and tens of thousands of Cubans have been fleeing the island in numbers not seen since the Mariel boatlift of 1980....

So is there some sort of vaccination he got, like for the flu, or the measles? MORE: NFL’s worst extra point blunders | Week 6: Picks | Odds | Power Rankings “You know,” Tucker said last week after the Ravens’ 33-30 overtime loss to the Browns, “I think that goes back to the preparation thing. We work at being mentally and physically tough. So, when you go into these moments, we’re confident — the only thought going through our minds is, ‘We’re gonna see that ball going right down the middle of those uprights....

Jackson, 22, set a single-season NFL record for quarterback rushing attempts last year, with 147. He reached that mark despite starting only seven games as a rookie (though he played in all 16). Ravens coach John Harbaugh made headlines earlier this week by suggesting Jackson might run the ball more than 139 times in 2019, but Jackson countered that notion Thursday on “The Rich Eisen Show.” “Absolutely. I put on weight,” Jackson said (via ESPN....

Prior to the Test Ashwin did not play any cricket for about a month or so as he was rested for the One-Day series against New Zealand and therefore he looked very rusty in the game at Rajkot. Ashwin claimed match figures of 3/230 as England fought brilliantly. His other spin partners, Amit Mishra and Ravindra Jadeja too suffered almost the same fate and the Indian attack suddenly lacked the teeth for the first time in four years....

That was very much in evidence on day two of the fourth Test between India and Australia at Dharamsala. When he walked into the crease, India were reeling at 221/6 and had just much of the momentum they had, thanks to the counter-attacking stand between Ajinkya Rahane and Ravichandran Ashwin. Wriddhiman Saha was just settling in and it took Jadeja just one hit off the bowling of Steve O’Keefe to overtake the wicketkeeper on the scoreboard for the innings....

Browns general manager Ray Farmer was evasive Thursday when it came to questions about Johnny Manziel and Brian Hoyer and their future with the team. MORE: Pettine: Manziel in ‘much better place’ | Hoyer could return | Farmer fesses up “I look at the quarterback situation like the Browns look at the quarterback situation,” Farmer said. “Coach (Mike) Pettine wants a starter and we’re going to do the things that we’ve got to do to get somebody he feels comfortable with....

Leipzig got to this stage with a comfortable 3-0 win over Augbsurg in the last round. They have since strengthened their grip on second place in the Bundesliga. On Saturday, they had a big win in the league as they beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0. Christopher Nkunku scored the only goal of that game, as Leipzig ensured that they stayed seven points behind league leaders Bayern Munich. Bochum are currently second in 2....

Nine of the past 10 rushing titles went to backs charging behind offensive lines returning at least four starters. Over the past three years, the top 10 rushers averaged an RCP above four each season. The bottom 10 teams in Pro Football Focus OL run-block ranking averaged below four — or fewer than four returning starters from the previous year. FANTASY FOOTBALL 2015: WRs facing change | TE movers | QBs to re-evaluate...

Thankfully, one clever gamer has compiled a comprehensive of every book in Skyrim, and has transcribed all the information contained within them. Unfortunately, the dedicated fan that put together this virtual library only compiled the books in .epub and .mobi form, which means they are meant for either a Nook or a Kindle. Nonetheless, if you own either of these e-devices, or if you download the kindle app for PC, you should have no problem diving headfirst into the lore of Skyrim....

The moves were designed with one of two things in mind — either a team is getting ready for the pending stretch run that goes through the final eight weeks of the season, or folding and looking to the future. With that in mind, and with many teams either on blazing hot streaks (Memphis, Cleveland, Oklahoma City) or in utter free falls (Suns, Nuggets, Lakers), we present the NBA’s stretch-run power poll:...

Leonard injured his left foot late in the fourth quarter of Toronto’s win at Phoenix on Friday night, and coach Nick Nurse says the Raptors are being careful with their superstar. The decision deprived Lakers fans of their only chance this season to see Leonard, who could be an unrestricted free agent coveted by their team next summer. Leonard grew up in Southern California’s Inland Empire area, one hour east of Los Angeles....

Manchester United were reluctant to allow their teenage forward to be involved in the finals this summer, and he is currently with Gareth Southgate’s senior side. Loftus-Cheek, meanwhile, has failed to shake off a back complaint and joins Chelsea team-mate Izzy Brown and Manchester City midfielder Patrick Roberts on the sidelines. Aidy Boothroyd has, however, been able to select plenty of Premier League experience within his ranks. Southgate not pressured by Mourinho...

If we pick up a dictionary, it tells us that Mature is: Intended for or restricted to adults, esp. by reason of explicit sexual content or the inclusion of violence or obscene language: mature movies. Fully developed in body or mind, as a person: a mature woman. Society tells us that the term ‘Mature Videogame’ is oxymoronic. There is no such thing, for one automatically cancels out the other. Videogames are designed to transport the player to the days of their youth; a place where anything was possible and joy was to be found around every corner....

Do PSG have more chance of Champions League without Ibra? Barca are all but out of the Champions League ahead of the second leg of their last-16 tie at Camp Nou on Wednesday, following their drubbing at the hands of the French champions in the first-leg. And Madrid great Raul does not think Luis Enrique’s men will pull off a miracle - instead feeling it is his former club, rather than Luis Enrique’s side, who have a history of storied fightbacks in Europe....

Raval reached three figures for the first time for his country on Friday, making 132 in an opening stand of 254 with Latham at Seddon Park, where the Blacks Caps closed on 451-4 in reply to the tourists’ 234 all out. The left-hander said watching the way Latham went about scoring an unbeaten double hundred and 176 against Sri Lanka in December helped him register a Test-best total. “He did it against Sri Lanka, so for me it was a blueprint for how I wanted to go about my game,” said Raval....

The surging Ravens, who have won seven in a row, retained the top spot in the latest AP Pro32 poll. Baltimore routed the Los Angeles Rams 45-6 on Monday night to move to 9-2 on the season. The Ravens earned 11 of the 12 first-place votes for 382 points in balloting Tuesday by media members who regularly cover the NFL. “I keep waiting for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens to have a poor outing,” said Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk....

Rampaul on Thursday said the strength of the squad was the unity which existed among their ranks and believes that despite the nature of the opposition in the tournament, the Tridents stood an excellent chance, reports CMC. “Like all teams we have a chance. We’ve lost three of our top players, but we have a lot of talent in our team and a lot of team spirit so as soon as we reach India, hopefully we can take it game by game and play as hard as we can but like each team we have a good chance,” Rampaul pointed out....

Talking about his application, the former Indian all-rounder said, “I didn’t apply in the first place. What did make me apply was when I realised that there was a huge problem there. Initially, I didn’t reply but I didn’t realise how serious the issues were.” He accepted that he was taken aback when the news of the rift between the former Indian head coach Anil Kumble and Indian skipper Virat Kohli started circulating in the media....
