The Chiefs lost to the L.A. Chargers on a two-point conversion as time expired, when veteran corner Orlando Scandrick missed a switch that left the receiver wide open. That Tuesday, Chiefs coach Andy Reid called Ward into his office. Ward would start that week at Seattle, on Sunday night.
Ward said he was so out of shape both physically and mentally for that first game that he felt like he couldn’t breathe. In the third quarter, he asked to come off the field. He struggled that night, too — flagged for three penalties and gave up five catches on seven targets for 110 yards, including two of the game’s biggest plays that helped seal the Seahawks’ win.
The decision to play him was bizarre on the surface and widely criticized in the wake of a loss that endangered the Chiefs’ pursuit of homefield advantage in the playoffs. And maybe the Chiefs waited too long to replace Scandrick, who was heavily penalized and often beat.
But there is no doubt they are a better team now with Ward playing. Reid noted this week that Ward has improved each game, and complimented his preparation. Bob Sutton, the team’s defensive coordinator, has said the Chiefs are better with Ward’s energy and competitiveness.
This team has been and always will be about Patrick Mahomes and the offense. But if the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl, it’ll also be at least in part about this unexpected boost from an unexpected source. Fans have already picked up on Ward’s red hair, and by now you won’t be surprised at the story behind that.
Happened over Thanksgiving, on the bye week, when Ward was back home. His brothers have dyed their dreads before, but Charvarius never had. His brothers went with green and purple and blue. Charvarius chose red, to represent the Chiefs, and if you look closely you can see Tanya’s influence.
Two 12-year-olds have been charged with cyberstalking following the suicide of a middle school student in Panama City Beach, Florida.
Gabrielle “Gabbie” Green, 12-year-old, died on Jan. 10 after she was found at home unresponsive. She was transported to the hospital and pronounced dead.
In a press release by the Panama City Beach Police Department, the arrests came after an investigation into the circumstances of Gabbie’s death, which revealed that she was potentially a victim of online bullying, reported the Panama City News Herald.
After an examination of cellphones and social media accounts, the police interviewed two 12-year-old suspects who allegedly confessed to cyberbullying Gabbie, knowing that their behavior would cause her emotional distress, said the News-Herald.
The two minors who cannot be identified attended the same middle school as Gabbie.
The police said in their statement that their investigation did not determine that cyberbullying was the sole cause of Gabbie’s death, just that it was occurring at the time of her death. The Medical Examiner’s Office has not yet released an official ruling on her cause of death.
Gabbie’s mother, Tanya Green, told the News-Herald that the arrests “were gratifying” after her daughter had to suffer in silence “with a smile on her face.” However, she put blame on the parents and the school system.
In their statement, the police warned parents against allowing children and teenagers unrestricted access to social media accounts and the internet, as their investigation found that several middle school aged children with “unmonitored access to several social media platforms,” said the News-Herald.
“These specific cellphone applications have been found to be the root of several dangerous and negative situations, such as cyberbullying, sexting, and potential access by online predators,” the police said.
A Doberman puppy needed emergency treatment after getting into a tight spot with a watering can.
Three-month-old Cassius had watched his owner, Chloe Watton, tend to her house plants and went to investigate the green can when she put it down.
Chloe, from Hampstead Heath, north London, suddenly heard whimpering and saw that her puppy's mouth was wedged in the jug.
He needed to be sedated by vets from the PDSA animal charity because of his distress before the watering can was cut away and removed.
I tried to remove it but couldn't. Luckily, my daughter Mercedez was home from university so we jumped in the car and took him straight to PDSA.
He was treated at the PDSA Pet Hospital in Hendon, where staff saw he was getting distressed, in pain and producing lots of saliva.
The can was really stuck so we weren't able to release it while he was so anxious.
Once we were able to cut the can, we removed it relatively easily and Cassius was ready to go home again after a few hours.
He was a little sore and swollen, so we gave him some painkillers to help him with his recovery.
Security cameras could be built into a home during construction by using the windows as lenses.
New Delhi: In the future, your car windshield could become a giant camera sensing objects on the road or a window in a home could be turned into a security camera. University of Utah electrical and computer engineers have discovered a way to create an optics-less camera in which a regular pane of glass or any see-through window can become the lens. Their innovation was detailed in a research paper, “Computational Imaging Enables a ‘See-Through’ Lensless Camera," published in the newest issue of Optics Express.
University of Utah electrical and computer engineering associate professor Rajesh Menon and his team took a picture of the University of Utah’s “U" logo as well as video of an animated stick figure, both displayed on an LED light board. An inexpensive, off-the-shelf camera sensor was connected to the side of a plexiglass window, but pointed into the window while the light board was positioned in front of the pane at a 90-degree angle from the front of the sensor. The resulting image from the camera sensor, with help from a computer processor running the algorithm, is a low-resolution picture but definitely recognizable. The method also can produce full-motion video as well as color images, Menon says in a 21 August press release.
Applications for a lensless camera can be almost unlimited. Security cameras could be built into a home during construction by using the windows as lenses. It could be used in augmented-reality goggles to reduce their bulk.
With current AR glasses, cameras have to be pointed at the user’s eyes in order to track their positions, but with this technology they could be positioned on the sides of the lens to reduce size. A car windshield could have multiple cameras along the edges to capture more information. And the technology also could be used in retina or other biometric scanners, which typically have cameras pointed at the eye.
An algorithm-based system that identifies tell-tale linguistic cues in fake news stories could provide news aggregator and social media sites like Google News with a new weapon in the fight against misinformation.
The University of Michigan researchers who developed the system have demonstrated that it’s comparable to and sometimes better than humans at correctly identifying fake news stories. In a recent study, the system successfully found fakes up to 76% of the time, compared to a human success rate of 70%.

On November 29th, 2014, Paraguay will celebrate the 33rd anniversary of the establishment of its diplomatic relations with the Republic of Indonesia, the world’s fourth largest nation with over 252 million people and one of the N – 11 Economies and together with Paraguay is also a memberof the Group of Eleven (G11), whose efforts are focused towards reducing poverty. Both nations became members of the World Trade Organization in 1995.
Although there is a great potential to further strengthen the commercial, political and economic partnership between the two countries, unfortunately, the Foreign Ministry of Paraguay is looking the other way, even though Jakarta is one of the fifteen most important commercial partners of Paraguay. The South East Asian giant in 2012 has imported over US$19.5 million, meanwhile there is a significant increase of imports in 2013, reaching over US$121.8 million worth of goods a services.
Despite of the unmatched strategic importance that exists in exploring the tremendous business opportunities that can be accomplished throughout a Free Trade Agreement framework between Indonesia and Paraguay as well as Paraguay and the ASEAN nations (currently the world’s largest trading group together with Japan, China and Russia).
Unfortunately Paraguay continues to drag its feet and continues to postpone these commercial opportunities of once in a lifetime. However, these commercial agreements are considered highly beneficial and the efforts undertaken by Minister Gustavo Leite and his Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MIC) as well as Paraguay’s Network of Investments and Exports (REDIEX) are truly admirable and certainly demonstrated a great performance, Asuncion for the first time has a visionary and a pragmatic leader as the head of its Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
At the same time, in order to fully implement Paraguay’s national agenda abroad and promote its agricultural products in the most influential international markets there are other components in its government that are not functioning as a well-oiled machine, practically are not coordinating their efforts accordingly with other pertinent ministries, at the moment there are no regular contacts between the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock nor between the Foreign Ministry and the National Agency for Animal Health and Quality (ServicioNacional de Calidad y Salud Animal) and its regular meetings with MIC officials are completely absent, and as a result the overall performance of some ministries like MIC and other sectors focused towards foreign commercial relations and exports have a significantly reduced potential.
On March 22nd, 2013, was the last meeting between representatives of the two nations, which was led by Ambassador Manuel Maria Caceres the Paraguayan Deputy Foreign Minister and Ambassador Nurmala Kartini Pandjaitan Sjahrir of Indonesia, on this meeting was also present the Director for Asia Affairs Mrs. Nilda Acosta.
For more than a year and four months, especially after the beginning of President HoracioCartes government in August, 2013, the two Foreign Ministries have not engaged in a serious dialogue in order to discuss mutually beneficial items in bilateral trade, commerce, economic growth and cooperation in the industrial and logistical sector. Despite the deep interest of President HoracioCartes and the Indonesian authorities to strengthen the bilateral partnership, which dates back in 1981, the Paraguayan Foreign Ministry officials have turned a blind eye towards reaching out to their colleagues in Jakarta and initiate a bilateral dialogue on pending issues.
On June 13-14, 2013, a Paraguayan delegation led by Ambassador Rigoberto GautoVielman, the current Deputy Foreign Minister, participated in the VI Meeting of the Forum of Cooperation between Latin America and East Asian countries (FOCALAE) where 34 delegations lead by Ministers of Foreign Affairs participated,and Paraguay had lost a great opportunity to revitalize the dialogue with its strategic commercial partners in Asia, the representatives of the Republic of Indonesia. The only request made by the Paraguayan representatives was to improve the cooperation of landlocked countries, however they did not have a single meeting with their Indonesian counterparts let alone meetings with Costa Rican and Thailand’s diplomats, whose nations will be leading the coordination of the regional Cooperation Forum of Latin America and East Asia (FOCALAE) during the period 2013-2015.
While the mission of this Forum is to promote the connectivity between the two regions, in areas such as: science, technology, commerce, tourism, education and culture, theParaguayan delegation had barely two meetings with the representatives of the governments of Laos and Mongolia. Based on the current trend of operations and their daily routine, the Paraguayan Foreign ministry has not placed the bilateral relations with Indonesia and other countries in the South East Asia, on its list of priorities, this is also evident when looking at the current number of staff members in the Embassy of Paraguay in Indonesia (According to the Foreign Ministry’s official website, it consists only with the Ambassador and no one else), and the lack of embassies in Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and Australia. Paraguay, to no ones’ surprise, is not an observing country of the Association of South East Asian Nations, headquartered in Jakarta, and in the ASEAN Regional Forum. Paraguay, just like Canada, is more than eligible to attend the ASEAN Regional Forum and should express its interest to the leaders of this regional forum.
Located in the heart of South America, sandwiched between Brazil and Argentina, Paraguay, with the size of California, has demonstrated a tremendous economic growth and emerged as the world’s eighthlargest producer of beef and aspires to be the fifth largest producer by 2018 and it is currently the world’s seventh largest producer.
Recently in Paraguay there have been identified areas with petroleum and mineral ores and steel are also founded in the Chaco region.Currently there is a great potential for Indonesia to import a highly quality beef, soybean oil, organic sugar and organic rice from Paraguay. In 2011, Asuncion was the largest provider of organic sugar to the United States and its products are largely imported by European Union Countries.
Paraguay has the best and most affordable arable land in the region; it is the fourth largest producer of soybean and is the largest producer of renewable energy per capita in the world.Despite the Cow disease, in the course of 2014, Paraguay exported more than US$ 542 million worth of beef products, representing only 14.7 percent in relation to the same period last year, therefore this disease has not affected the cattle ranchers’ prospects and performance. During the present season there have been exported more than 250,000 tons of beef products abroad. And more than 400,000 are expected to be exported by 2015. In the last few years livestock companies in Paraguay, have significantly invested on improving the genetics of their cows, this is the reason why they are distinguished in the MERCOSUR by their peers.
One of the traditional food products in Indonesiais Tempeh a soybean based food made from the condensing or curdling of soymilk and then fermenting it, for which there is a need for large quantities of soybean. In this regard, Paraguay as the world’s 4th largest Soybean producer, could easily become a ‘TEMPEH PARTNER’ of INDONESIA through a bilateral cooperation agreement and a potential joint venture between the Indonesian TEMPEH Industry leaders and Paraguayan Soybean entrepreneurs and the Paraguayan Food Industry leaders in order to implement the processing of this Typical Indonesian food in the Paraguayan soil and export it directly to Indonesia at highly competitive prices and consequentlyearning essential mutual benefits.
The discovery of Natural Gas and oil fields in the Chaco Paraguay is also another strategic sector that will require the expertise and assistance of Indonesia’s major oil companies and their technology, in order to make the use of its oil resources according to the principles of sustainability and environmental friendly.
Indonesia’s natural gas and oil drilling industry plays a vital part in its national economy, such a wealth of experience in this sector would be a great asset to the Paraguayan Government, which is on its initial stages of exploring petroleum and natural gas. After the next 20 years, Asunción will need to diversify its national energy production as the current production levels at its two hydroelectric dams (Itaipu and Yacyreta) will not be sufficient to supply energy nationwide, therefore the construction of new hydroelectric dams in rivers stretching throughout Paraguay and reaching distances of over 6,500Km, as well as the effective use of oil and gas resources with the help of Indonesian experts would be of great value for Paraguay’s future.

One of the most prestigious prizes in computing, the $100,000 Turing Award, went to a woman Wednesday for the first time in the award's 40-year history.
Frances E. Allen, 75, was honored for her work at IBM Corp. on techniques for optimizing the performance of compilers, the programs that translate one computer language into another. This process is required to turn programming code into the binary zeros and ones actually read by a computer's colossal array of minuscule switches.
Allen joined IBM in 1957 after completing a master's degree in mathematics at the University of Michigan. At the time, IBM recruited women by circulating a brochure on campuses that was titled "My Fair Ladies."
When Allen joined Big Blue, an IBM team led by John Backus had just completed Fortran, one of the first high-level programming languages.
The point of Fortran was to develop a system that could operate a computer just as efficiently as previous "hand-coded" approaches directly assembled by programmers. Allen recalled Wednesday that her task at IBM was to replicate the achievement on multiple kinds of computers.
"I had the good fortune to work on one big project on good machines after another," she said.
Her work led her into varied assignments, including writing intelligence analysis software for the National Security Agency. More recently she helped design software for IBM's Blue Gene supercomputer.
She retired in 2002 but has stayed active in programs that encourage girls and women to study computer science.
"It's a very tough problem overall," she said. "Constant attention to it is important."
Since the Turing Award was first given in 1966 by the Association for Computing Machinery, previous winners have included luminaries in encryption, artificial intelligence, hypertext, networking and other vital elements of modern computing. All were men, including Backus, the 1977 winner.
Allen called it "high time for a woman," though she quickly added: "That's not why I got it."
Firefighters were called to the Flamengo soccer club's training grounds just after 5 a.m. Friday.
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A fire tore through the sprawling training complex of one of Brazil’s biggest soccer clubs Friday, killing 10 people and leaving three teenagers injured, firefighters said.
Firefighters were called in just after 5 a.m. to battle a blaze at the Ninho de Urubu training ground of the Flamengo soccer club in Rio de Janeiro’s western region, a fire official told The Associated Press.
There was no word yet on the cause of the fire.
“Flamengo is in mourning” the team posted on its Twitter account.
The ages and identities of those killed were not released but the three injured were 14, 15 and 16 years old, the fire official said. The injured were taken to local hospitals and their conditions were not immediately known, said the official, who asked his name not be used due to his agency’s rules.
Local media reported that the fire started in a dorm where youth soccer players sleep. The fire official said that could not be confirmed.
Aerial images from Globo TV showed firefighters walking through a charred area with smoke emerging.
Outside the complex, an Associated Press reporter saw two ambulances and a fire truck enter. The facility was closed, and no officials had come out to address media.
Family members, friends, and neighbors were gathering outside in hopes of getting information.
Joao Pedro da Cruz, a 16-year-old player in the Flamengo youth league, told G1 news portal that he decided not to stay the night at the facility Thursday because the team wasn’t going to train on Friday. Instead, he went to a friend’s house.
The dream of many youths in Latin America’s largest nation, winner of five World Cup titles, is to make it into the ranks of professional soccer. The development leagues identify promising players at a young age, working with them as they grow through their teenage years.
“We are extremely sad and shaken by the news of the fire,” tweeted Chapeco, a team in southern Brazil that lost 22 players in a plane crash in 2016.
US President George W Bush has accused Russia of "bullying and intimidation" in the conflict with Georgia over South Ossetia.
Here, four Russian readers share their views on international perceptions of the country following the fighting.
There are no good guys here. Not Saakashvili, not Putin, not the South Ossetian separatists, not the politicians from the West.
I believe the Georgians were reacting to provocation from Ossetian separatists, and the situation gave Russian forces the chance to make their presence felt in Georgia.
