Man City right to off-load Balotelli

You may think a guy who has to pay his ex-wife £82,000 — a day yes, a day — would have learned a financial lesson or two, but Silvio Berlusconi, the former prime minister of Italy and president of AC Milan, continues to be a lucrative benefactor and not just for the former Signora Berlusconi.

Cuttlefish could be key to revolutionary camouflage technology

Cuttlefish are ugly-cute. With their big eyes, stubby tentacles and bulbous head, they look like creatures from an H.P. Lovecraft horror story.
