Semi-final: Leinster 29-25 Toulon Leinster will face Bordeaux or Bath in Bilbao final They made a bit of a meal of it, but Leinster will march on Bilbao on 22 May for their ninth Champions Cup final. Their 17th semi-final was clinched by four tries to three over Toulon, another multiple winner of this tournament, but it was not a classic. Which is not to say it was boring. Leinster are not convincing this season and a telltale sign of a team with a confidence issue is the offering up of hope to a seemingly defeated team. The hosts, enjoying a knockout tie at the Aviva for the umpteenth time, went 18 points clear when Caelan Doris scored their fourth with a little more than 10 minutes to play. Then all hell broke loose. Continue reading...
The chip cycle that investors have grown accustomed to (boom, glut, correction, repeat) may be giving way to something different.

A rescue team on Saturday released from a barge in the North Sea a humpback whale that had been stranded in shallow waters near Germany since March, witnesses said. Nicknamed “Timmy” by German media, the whale was spotted swimming near Germany’s Baltic Sea coast on March 3, far from its natural habitat in the Atlantic Ocean.

A rescue team on Saturday released from a barge in the North Sea a humpback whale that had been stranded in shallow waters near Germany since March, witnesses said. Nicknamed “Timmy” by German media, the whale was spotted swimming near Germany’s Baltic Sea coast on March 3, far from its natural habitat in the Atlantic Ocean. The mammal’s health deteriorated as it became repeatedly stranded in shallow waters near the coastal city of Wismar, and unsuccessful efforts to coax it towards deeper seas...
Compliments mean little to West Ham at this stage of the season. They hit the woodwork three times, had a goal ruled out for a tight offside and contributed to an entertaining game against strong opposition but none of that mattered when full time arrived and Nuno Espírito Santo faced up to his side missing a huge opportunity to take a big step towards winning their fight against relegation. It re...
Compliments mean little to West Ham at this stage of the season. They hit the woodwork three times, had a goal ruled out for a tight offside and contributed to an entertaining game against strong opposition but none of that mattered when full time arrived and Nuno Espírito Santo faced up to his side missing a huge opportunity to take a big step towards winning their fight against relegation. It remains too tight to call. This defeat keeps West Ham two points above the bottom three and means they will drop into the relegation zone if 18th-placed Tottenham beat Aston Villa on Sunday night.

Alex Wong/Getty Images News The Trump administration doesn’t need to offer financial lifelines for low-cost carriers for now, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Saturday after Spirit Airlines ( FLYYQ ) shut down following an unsuccessful attempt to secure a government bailout. His remarks followed a meeting in Washington, D.C., this week during which chief executives from several low-cost airlines reportedly sought $2.5B in federal assistance, citing higher fuel and labor costs as well as low pricing power. “I don’t think it’s necessary,” Duffy said during a press conference at Newark Liberty International Airport. “They do have access to cash. If they want to come to the U.S. government, we would be a lender of last resort,” he added. Earlier in the day, ultralow-cost carrier Spirit Airlines began to wind down operations after its bondholders and the government failed to agree on a $500M rescue package offered by the Trump administration. According to Duffy, some other airlines considered a possible bailout for Spirit ( FLYYQ ) as a chance to receive money “not necessarily based on need, but based on opportunity.” “In the end, this was a creditor issue,” he said, adding, “If they can find dollars in the private markets—I think that’s better for them.” U.S. low-cost carriers include Frontier Group ( ULCC ), JetBlue Airways ( JBLU ), Allegiant Travel Company ( ALGT ), and Sun Country Airlines ( SNCY ).

Brighton had limbered up for this trip to Tyneside by working out with an acclaimed German cage fighter. The idea was that a spot of mixed martial arts training would toughen up their players at set pieces and enable them to pack a collective punch far too powerful for Newcastle to resist. Happily for the home side it did not quite work out like that. With Yasir al-Rumayyan, Newcastle’s chair, and...
Brighton had limbered up for this trip to Tyneside by working out with an acclaimed German cage fighter. The idea was that a spot of mixed martial arts training would toughen up their players at set pieces and enable them to pack a collective punch far too powerful for Newcastle to resist. Happily for the home side it did not quite work out like that. With Yasir al-Rumayyan, Newcastle’s chair, and a delegation of his colleagues from the club’s majority owners, Saudi Arabian’s Public Investment Fund, in the director’s box, Newcastle ended a debilitating run of five straight defeats.

April's market rally may have fully unwound February's and March's sell-offs. However, between steep valuations and a mixed start to the first-quarter earnings season, at least some investors are rethinking things again. Another correction may well be the market's next order of business. Don't sweat a steep sell-off too much. In fact, if a pullback is in the cards, it'll be a long-term buying oppo...
April's market rally may have fully unwound February's and March's sell-offs. However, between steep valuations and a mixed start to the first-quarter earnings season, at least some investors are rethinking things again. Another correction may well be the market's next order of business. Don't sweat a steep sell-off too much. In fact, if a pullback is in the cards, it'll be a long-term buying opportunity. Here's a closer look at three names to consider buying if any sweeping bearishness reels in the recent rallies that have made them overpriced for newcomers. Continue reading
