Man Utd: Zlatan Ibrahimovic & Paul Pogba in squad against Newcastle

Man Utd: Zlatan Ibrahimovic & Paul Pogba in squad against Newcastle
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba were part of Manchester United's EFL Cup-winning side last season
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba return to the Manchester United squad for Saturday's Premier League game against Newcastle at Old Trafford.
Striker Ibrahimovic, 36, is yet to play this season after suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury in April.
Midfielder Pogba, 24, has not played since injuring a hamstring against Basel in September.
Defender Marcos Rojo is also available and manager Jose Mourinho said "all three will be selected".
"Paul you can see. Clearly you can see there was a Manchester United this season before and after his injury," added Mourinho.
"He has qualities that influence our approach in matches."
Former Sweden striker Ibrahimovic made 46 appearances and scored 28 goals for United last season.
He was released by the club in June after his season was ended prematurely by a knee injury, but re-signed on a one-year deal in August.
"Last season we played with Zlatan every minute," added Mourinho.
"(We have) learned how to play without him. Of course we welcome him back. He is an incredible personality."

'Ibrahimovic and Lukaku can play together'

Ibrahimovic's return to Old Trafford came after United had signed strikerRomelu Lukaku from Everton for an initial £75m, and the 24-year-old has scored seven times in his first 11 Premier League games.
But Mourinho says the Belgium international and Ibrahimovic can play together.
"Good players can play together," said the Portuguese. "With good players, it is easy to play together.
"We can't expect him (Ibrahimovic) to play full 90 minutes or consecutive matches. He needs time to be back to his level - fitness and sharpness is everything."

ARIA Grid: Supporting nonvisual layout and keyboard traversal

ARIA Grid: Supporting nonvisual layout and keyboard traversal Modern web applications contain complex and dense user interface patterns — infinitely scrolling lists of content, menu bars, and complex data tables with interactive controls in cells, to name a few components. With a mouse pointer, a person can easily traverse the controls and items of an application. For a keyboard user, traversing a page via the Tab key becomes more cumbersome as the number of controls and items increases. A modern web page may contain hundreds of  tab stops  — elements that can be traversed using the Tab key. At Facebook, we are experimenting with a user interface pattern for traversing a page with a keyboard that we call a logical grid. A logical grid reduces numerous tab stops to a single tab stop within a part of the interface designated as a grid. From the single tab stop, a person can traverse items in the grid using arrow keys. In addition,  Accessible Rich Internet Application...

Shep Smith fact-checks Fox News on Clinton, Uranium One deal

Shep Smith fact-checks Fox News on Clinton, Uranium One deal Fox News anchor Shepard Smith has earned a reputation over the years for ideological apostasy, providing a sharp mid-afternoon break from the conservative perspective that dominates the rest of the network's programming. But on Tuesday, he may have outdone himself. Over the course of six minutes, Smith provided a thorough fact-check of the latest Clinton-related conspiracy theory to capture the attention of Republican lawmakers, and his colleagues at Fox News. Smith, the chief news anchor at Fox, spelled out the specific allegation surrounding the sale of a Canadian company called Uranium One: "Nine people involved in the deal made donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling more than $140 million, In exchange, Secretary of State Clinton approved the sale to the Russians, a quid pro quo." Smith traced the origins of the claim, which has recently been in heavy circulation on Fox, but was...
