It includes funding for roads and bridges, high-speed internet, rail and transit, drinking water upgrades and other priorities meant to shore up the nation’s crumbling infrastructure.

We even disappointingly heard about some of it before L.A. Noire hit store shelves. Rockstar previously explained that some of the “desks” or chapters of the games were left out of the final version to keep the game’s size down (read: charge more for them separately) so there’s potentially an incredibly amount of content coming down the road....

Konta looked nervy in the opening set on Tuesday and saw it go the way of Halep in a tie-break, but the sixth seed came storming back to seal a 6-7 (2-7) 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 win in front of a delighted Centre Court.

Arsene Wenger’s side took an early lead through Hector Bellerin to boost their hopes of replacing Liverpool in the Champions League places, but Koscielny recklessly lunged in on Enner Valencia to leave his team-mates with a tough afternoon in prospect.
