The outcome of the first stage in the Democrat race to pick a candidate for November's presidential election was left unsettled on Tuesday morning.

Democratic officials blamed a "coding error" in the app used to report results.

Mr Trump easily won the Republican contest.

Irish FA elite performance director Jim Magilton has indicated he would like to succeed Michael O'Neill as Northern Ireland manager.

O'Neill was appointed Stoke City boss in November but will remain in charge of Northern Ireland until after the Euro 2020 play-offs in late March.

"To coach and manage at the highest level is still a big ambition of mine."

I seriously need to get myself into Japan and try all of these drinks. First there was the canned pancake drink, and now there is the Tropicana 'Orange With Rare Cheese' flavor. This drink was introduced as the new part of Tropicana's 'Fruit Sweet' line.

The Tropicana 'Orange With Rare Cheese' flavor is a mixture of orange juice and cheese. The bottle contains 51% juice and it supposedly tastes like cheesecake or a snack. I would rather eat my food than drink it, but that doesn't mean I won't try!

Alpha Condé (born 4 March 1938) is a Guinean politician who has been President of Guinea since December 2010. He spent decades in opposition to a succession of regimes in Guinea, unsuccessfully running against President Lansana Conté in the 1993 and 1998 presidential elections and leading the Rally of the Guinean People (RPG), an opposition party.

Standing again in the 2010 presidential election, Condé was elected as President of Guinea in a second round of voting. When he took office that December, he became the first freely elected president in the country's history. Condé was reelected in 2015 with almost 58 percent of the vote.

Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce believes it was a "significant" moment for the club to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time in 14 years.

The Premier League side survived a huge scare in Tuesday's fourth-round replay against League One Oxford United, who came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 and take the game to extra time.

Neither side could then be separated and it looked like penalties would be needed until Allan Saint-Maximin's spectacular strike secured the win.

"I know what it means for the city and the supporters, who have come a million miles to get here tonight, a couple of thousand of them," said Bruce.

"We are into the next round. We have made hard work of it against Rochdale and now Oxford but I think we thoroughly deserved to get through.

"I think it is significant for the club to get into the fifth round for the first time since 2006."

Faustino Hernán "Tino" Asprilla Hinestroza (born 10 November 1969) is a Colombian former footballer who most notably played for Parma, Newcastle United and the Colombia national team as a forward.

posted on 5/2/20

However, his time on Tyneside was blighted by inconsistency and off-field incidents, and Asprilla was blamed as one of the reasons Newcastle would go on to concede the 1995–96 Premier League title to eventual winners Manchester United.

Pete Buttigieg is leading Democrats in the first big batch of Iowa election data released finally released Tuesday by the state party after a faulty app botched Monday night's caucus results.

Buttigieg, 38, who declared Monday night that he would be 'victorious,' was leading the field with 26.9 per cent of delegates, the key measure of success, according to the first batch of returns, with 62 per cent of precincts reporting.

He was followed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, at 25.1 per cent, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, at 18.3 percent. Joe Biden was at 15.6 percent in the returns.

Democrats doing a worse job than the Corbyn's Labour opposition?

Biden is the only moderate, which is realistically the only way to beat Trump, but even he is a poor candidate.

Any socialist candidate will get smashed by an incumbent with a strong economy, no matter how controversial he is.

William Harold "Bill" Ponsford MBE (19 October 1900 – 6 April 1991) was an Australian cricketer. Usually playing as an opening batsman, he formed a successful and long-lived partnership opening the batting for Victoria and Australia with Bill Woodfull, his friend and state and national captain. Ponsford is the only player to twice break the world record for the highest individual score in first-class cricket; Ponsford and Brian Lara are the only cricketers to twice score 400 runs in an innings.

Ponsford holds the Australian record for a partnership in Test cricket, set in 1934 in combination with Donald Bradman (451 for 2nd wicket)—the man who broke many of Ponsford's other individual records. In fact, he along with Don Bradman set the record for the highest partnership ever for any wicket in Test cricket history when playing on away soil (451 runs for the second wicket)
