The forward was withdrawn at half-time after suffering an adductor injury, raising fears he could be absent for the next Champions League test

Gareth Bale’s injury woes may be set to continue as the Real Madrid star was withdrawn at the half in his side’s scoreless draw with Atletico.

The forward had gotten off to a fine start in La Liga, with three goals and two assists in five games, as well as a tally in the Champions League.

But held off the scoresheet in a disappointing 3-0 loss to Sevilla midweek, Bale looked to get back among the goals in the big clash against their local rivals.

Yet his match would be ended early as though he made it through the first 45, Dani Ceballos came on to replace him at the start of the half.

Goal can confirm Bale has an adductor injury in his leg, though the severity of the problem is yet to be determined. 

Injuries have been a problem for Bale for much of his Real Madrid career with calf and thigh problems costing him most of October and November of last season, though he did manage to make 26 league appearances last year and went as an unused substitute in seven other La Liga contests.

Other sets of injuries limited him to just 19 league appearances in 2016-17 and 23 in La Liga the year before. 

While the international break is not far off, Madrid still have a midweek Champions League clash against CSKA Moscow and a La Liga match against Deportivo Alaves next weekend before a two-week break.

“It’s not good at all so many injuries (Bale, Isco, Marcelo),” Real boss Julen Lopetegui said after confirming that Bale was taken off with a knock and would have medical tests on Sunday.

“What the coaches have to do is to look for solutions. And trust on our squad until death. Just look how Ceballos played today. He was fantastic”

Madrid then return to action October 20 against Levante.

Wales may also be concerned over their star man, as they have a friendly against Spain on October 11, following by a Nations League match against the Republic of Ireland six days later.

The bench got cut down, and Brendan Lemieux was on the outside looking in.

As the Rangers extended their winless streak to five games with a 3-2 overtime loss to the Coyotes on Tuesday night at the Garden, coach David Quinn went to nine forwards and Lemieux wasn’t one of them.

The gritty winger got only one shift over the final 14:20, and finished with 11:07 of ice time overall.

“I thought Lemieux had a tough night,” said Quinn, who also kept Lias Andersson and Greg McKegg on the bench, while Brendan Smith, previously a full-time defenseman, was out there pushing for a lead. “Smitty has been consistent with his effort and his energy. We ended up taking a penalty because Lemieux turned it over.

“But [Lemieux] has played well for us. I just thought it was one of those nights he didn’t have it.”

Quinn went with the reliable Jesper Fast in the top-line role alongside Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad, but was often rotating Chris Kreider into that spot over the second and third periods. That also happened after some of the Rangers five penalty kills, as Kreider doesn’t currently kill penalties.

“Just changing it up from time to time, giving Kreids and opportunity,” Quinn said.

Goalie Alexandar Georgiev was terrific in his third start of the season, making 32 saves and often keeping his disjointed team in the game.

“I try to keep the team in the game all the time,” Georgiev said. “I don’t think too much about the score. Just try to play the same way, every shot.”

Georgiev was bombarded with 21 shots in the first period, but turned all of them aside except for one from Lawson Crouse, left alone in front at 13:06.

The 23-year-old said he needs to look at the video to decide what he might be able to do better on the overtime winner from Christian Dvorak, who beat him up high inside the near post.

Defenseman Tony DeAngelo scored twice in his 100th game with the Rangers, which also happened to come against a Coyotes team that traded him here in the summer of 2017 as part of the deal that sent Derek Stepan and Antti Raanta to Arizona.

Attorney general cannot seize reporters’ computers

Pennsylvania Supreme Court says reporters don’t have to turn over their computers to the attorney general’s office.

Oct. 11, 2006 · Pennsylvania’s attorney general cannot seize two reporters’ computers despite issuing a subpoena, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday.

Writing for the majority, Justice Thomas Saylor said that seizing the computers of reporters for the Lancaster County, Pa., Intelligencer Journal would be “unduly intrusive.”

“The subpoena as written was too broad because it asked for the reporters’ hard drives,” said William DeStefano, an attorney for the newspaper. “It was not narrowly tailored so it would not pick up information that is protected under statutory privileges.”

The state attorney general, Tom Corbett, sought the hard drives of reporters as part of a statewide grand jury investigation into leaks to reporters.

In Lancaster County, the investigation focused on whether the county coroner gave Intelligencer Journal reporters his password to a restricted law enforcement Web site. Officials said reporters may have committed crimes if they used the site, which includes non-public information about crimes, without authorization.

In February, Lancaster Newspapers Inc., which publishes the Intelligencer Journal and two other local newspapers, handed over four computers to Corbett’s office in compliance with a subpoena.

The company then sought to quash the subpoena in court. But in March, the state Supreme Court ruled that it had no authority to hear the case because the newspaper had complied with the subpoena and therefore had not been found in contempt of court.

In July, Corbett subpoenaed two additional computers. This time, Lancaster Newspapers refused to turn over the reporters’ hard drives and were found in contempt of a court-ordered subpoena – providing the opportunity to appeal to the state Supreme Court.

The newspaper argued that the surrender of the reporters’ entire hard drives to law enforcement would have a chilling effect, hindering the media’s ability to gather news by exposing information about confidential sources.

The court agreed with the newspaper’s stance, ruling that the seizure of the reporters’ computers in this case constituted too broad a search, likening the search of a computer to that of a filing cabinet in which only certain relevant files need be handed over.

“Measures were available to obtain the information subject to the investigation short of outright surrender of the hard drives to the Commonwealth,” Saylor wrote for the court.

This case signals to prosecutors that asking for reporters’ hard drives is too broad, DeStefano said.

However, the court did not rule out the possibility of a neutral third party examining the hard drives and offering relevant information to the investigators.

Corbett will now have the opportunity to revise the subpoena to make the scope of his search of the reporters’ computers more relevant to the investigation. The newspaper could then either attempt to quash the subpoena again or comply with the order.

Richard Lugar, R-Ind., said the clashes between the media and government authorities present a “disturbing new trend” that highlights the importance of the proposed law. Rep.

Journalist alleges magazine won’t support his refusal to testify

A Forbes reporter quit because he claims magazine won’t support his decision not to testify before a grand jury.

Forbes magazine reporter Adam Penenberg left his job on July 19 because, he says, the magazine is not supporting his refusal to testify before a federal grand jury.

Forbes, through its attorney Tennyson Schad, has denied Penenberg’s claims.

Federal prosecutors want Penenberg to testify about an article he wrote for Forbes in November 1998, for which he interviewed two hackers, known only as “Slut Puppy” and “Master Pimp,” who had broken into computers hosting The New York Times’ web site on September 13, 1998. The Times site was shut down for nine hours as a result of the attack, for which a group calling themselves Hacking for Girlies took credit. Penenbreg reported that Slut Puppy and Master Pimp were the leaders of the attack.

The Department of Justice is trying to prosecute members of Hacking for Girlies, and, according to Penenberg, has been “busting my sources, raiding my sources who they know I’ve talked to, threatening them with my article.” Because the hack is a year and a half old, the trail of Slut Puppy and Master Pimp “has gone cold,” Penenberg said. He said he believes the cold trail is the reason behind the Department’s sudden interested in subpoenaing him.

“They (the Justice Department) obviously wanted to interview Penenberg. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what the Justice Department wanted to ask,” explained Forbes’ attorney Schad.

According to Penenberg, the Department of Justice contacted Forbes, “threatening to subpoena me over my Times article.” He said that the Department of Justice offered Forbes a “pre-arranged compromise,” that “it wanted me to confirm the facts of my story on the stand, at both a grand jury proceeding and at trial.” Penenberg said that Schad “recommended I accept this offer.” Penenberg refused to testify about any aspect of his article, explaining that to do so would be “a gross breach of journalism ethics. I explained it would ruin my credibility, since I’d never get another scoop if I cooperated with DOJ.”

Schad, in reiterating a denial of Penenberg’s claims that Forbes did not support his refusal to testify, said that Forbes has never suggested that a reporter comply with a subpoena, pressured a reporter to comply, or “accommodated a subpoenaing party. Ten or 20 times over the years we’ve made motions to quash or refused to comply,” with subpoenas of reporters, “forcing the Court to issue an order to compel [testimony]. . . . Our policy is, we don’t submit to voluntarily testifying.”

Justice Department subpoenas journalist’s home phone records

A U.S. Attorney in New York received Justice Department approval of a subpoena for an Associated Press reporter’s home phone records, hoping to discover the identity of an unnamed source.

The Justice Department subpoenaed the home telephone records of an Associated Press reporter to discover his confidential source for information on the investigation of a U.S. senator, the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan disclosed in a letter dated Aug. 20.

Reporter John Solomon on May 4 quoted unidentified law enforcement officials as saying that conversations between New Jersey Sen. Robert Torricelli and relatives of a prominent Chicago crime figure were recorded by a government wiretap. Law enforcement officials can be prosecuted for disclosing the contents of a wiretap.

U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White said in the letter to Solomon that her office had obtained his home telephone records for both incoming and outgoing calls from May 2 to May 7. The AP reported that White disclosed that Attorney General John Ashcroft, whose permission is required before Justice Department officials subpoena a member of the news media, recused himself from consideration of the request, which was then approved by Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson. According to the AP, Torricelli had campaigned in support of Ashcroft’s opponent in last year’s Senate race in Missouri, which Ashcroft lost.

Neither the Justice Department nor the AP reported whether the source had been uncovered.

AP announced it will challenge the practice of subpoenaing reporter’s records without notifying them first so they can contest the subpoena in court.

“We are outraged by what the Justice Department has done and we will seek any available legal redress,” AP President and CEO Louis D. Boccardi told The Washington Post. “Their actions fly in the face of long-standing policy that recognizes what a serious step it is to go after a reporter’s phone records. We hope that this secret assault on the press is not an indication of the Bush administration’s attitude toward a press free of government interference.”

In a letter to Ashcroft protesting the action, Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, said, “We are concerned that this action signals an ominous hostility to the First Amendment rights of reporters at worst, and an indifference to these important rights at best.”

“We believe that in a free and democratic society, journalists must be able to protect confidential sources and information. To deny journalists this right threatens the free and independent press guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,” Dalglish said.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-VT, is urging swift passage of a reporter-source shield bill that has cleared the Judiciary Committee he heads but is not yet scheduled for a floor vote. He notes that the bill had broad bi-partisan support in the committee and that a similar bill cleared the House 398-21. He also asked that the House bill be placed on the Senate’s executive calendar to speed its consideration. (11/12/07)

U.S. District Court Judge Cormac Carney ordered Washington Times reporter William Gertz to identify the confidential sources who provided information for a 2006 story he wrote about the prosecution of a Chinese spy ring in California.

In the story, Gertz correctly reported that new charges would be filed against Chi Mak, an engineer who worked for several American defense contractors, and several of his relatives.

Last May, a jury convicted Mak of being an unregistered foreign agent and conspiring to export U.S. defense technology to China, including data on an electronic propulsion system that could make submarines virtually undetectable.Carney then sentenced Mak to more than 24 years in prison.His wife, brother and two other relatives also pled guilty to similar charges.

The subpoena comes on the heels of a fruitless government investigation into the potential leak.In an order dated May 1, Carney wrote that the year-long probe was unable to identify who leaked the grand jury information to Gertz.Carney wrote that it was therefore “necessary to subpoena Mr. Gertz to testify regarding the identity of the source that provided him with the grand jury information.”

In his story, Gertz attributed the statements to “senior Justice Department officials.”

The New York Sun speculates that Gertz is gearing up to fight the subpoena, as Gertz has enlisted the assistance of attorneys Allen Farber and Charles Leeper.

While the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press is disappointed that the U.S. Senate did not take advantage of an opportunity to bring the Free Flow of Information Act (S. 2035) to the Senate floor on Wednesday, the federal shield law is not dead.

“Given the unusual rules of the U.S. Senate, we believe today’s vote was actually a positive step forward in the passage of this bill, which would create a qualified federal shield law that restricts the federal government’s ability to subpoena journalists,” said Reporters Committee Executive Director Lucy A. Dalglish.

A procedural vote that would have ended discussion and allowed for a vote to send the bill to the floor by the end of the week earned a majority of votes from the Senate but not enough to overcome a Republican filibuster on the energy bill. The motion to proceed ultimately failed 51 – 43. Senate Republicans are threatening to block most Senate business until lawmakers vote on energy legislation.

The bill has garnered broad bi-partisan support from both houses of Congress. The Senate Judiciary Committee passed the measure in early October by a 15 – 4 vote. Two weeks later, a similar bill passed the full House of Representatives 398 – 21. The measure now awaits consideration from the full Senate.

The bill’s bi-partisan coalition of sponsors believe Majority Leader Harry Reid will bring a revised version of the bill for a vote on the floor in September after its August recess.

Despite intense pressure from Republican leaders to vote “no” on the procedural issue, five Republican Senators voted “aye” on the motion to bring the bill to a vote: Susan Collins (Maine), Richard Lugar (Indiana), Arlen Spector (Pennsylvania), Chuck Hagel (Nebraska) and Gordon Smith (Oregon).

The telephone records of journalists at The Washington Post and The New York Times were among those illegally obtained by the FBI between 2002 and 2006 by creating false terrorism emergencies and using other under-the-radar methods, The Washington Post reported.

A Post investigation uncovered e-mail messages that detailed how counter-terrorism officials within the FBI did not follow bureau procedures put in place to protect civil liberties and instead used tactics like convincing phone companies to provide records and filing false urgent requests.

In all, the FBI’s tactics were used to retrieve more than 2,000 records.
