Cuba: Obama welcome to visit but not to meddle
US President Barack Obama himself called on Thursday for Congress to lift the embargo, calling it the “legacy of a failed policy”. USA regulations still prohibit travel to Cuba for tourism.
The Rawls injury was unfortunate to see, but the Seahawks were still sufficiently equipped to go on and win 35-6 over the Ravens, thanks to the red-hot Russell Wilson.
Relatives of drowned Syrian boy welcomed to Canada
Tima said the rejection was to blame for Abdullah making the risky boat trip that killed his wife and two young sons. She travelled to Belgium, Germany and Turkey, helping give a voice to those displaced by the war in Syria.
They hardly could have been more proficient at that task, holding the Ravens to 28 rushing yards on 14 carries, a season low for a Seahawks opponent.
Man City’s Kompany out another 3-4 weeks
Leicester come into this fixture after a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield. It’s a straight shootout between Sergio Aguero and Wilfried Bony for Man City’s striking post.
-RUSH DEFENSE: B. Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls, who was named the NFL’s Rookie of the Week, had a season-ending ankle injury in the first quarter.
That makes Wilson and Baldwin the first duo to combine for these streaks since Brady and Moss with their undefeated Patriots in 2007.
The Seahawks are moving on to Plan E at lead running back just in time for their final push toward the playoffs. “I don’t think he’s going to have to have an operation, from what I understand, but it’s substantial”. Coach Pete Carroll said the timetable for his return is up in the air, according to Seahawks.com.
However, for all the bad that the game started, there are some things that we learned.

What has changed is the way this offense functions with Wilson not just being more decisive in the pocket, but throwing from the pocket with an effectiveness that is unrivaled in the National Football League over the past four weeks. Russell Wilson joined that elite group after tossing five touchdowns, bringing his total to 16 touchdowns in the past four weeks. Wilson has thrown at least three passes and completed at least 70 percent of his passes in four consecutive games.
Seattle’s offensive line did not prevent a sack and gave the quarterback plenty of time to survey the field.
“Doug has been phenomenal here for the last month”, Carroll said.
“We’ll see how Marshawn does”, Carroll said, via the Seattle Times. But there continues to be no estimate on when that’ll be. He’s got a lot to get through. “He was back in rehabbing with us”.
Having a successful run game is crucial because the performance of Wilson has been based around the balance of what Rawls provided.
Rawls finish his rookie season with 830 rushing yards on 147 attempts, after rushing for 44 yards on six carries against Baltimore.
