Residents of a White Settlement neighborhood were forced to leave their homes Sunday afternoon after a homeowner found an old-school hand grenade inside their home.
According to the White Settlement Police Department, a home in the 9000 block of Lanham Street was being renovated when the new owner found the "older-style" grenade.
Police said nearby homes were evacuated out of caution while the Fort Worth Fire Department's Arson & Bomb Squad inspected the device to render it safe.

(iSeeCars) – If you’re currently leasing a car and nearing the end of your lease term, you might be wondering what you should do next. Although new car inventory is rebounding, some new cars are selling above MSRP and car leases are also significantly more expensive than they were pre-pandemic. And while used car prices continue to fall, they are also more expensive than they were before the pandemic.
In light of the current new and used car market, buying out your car lease might be your smartest option. How does the process work and should you buy out your car lease? We have the important answers.
How a Lease Buyout Works
If you’re leasing a vehicle, most finance companies will include a buyout option as part of your lease agreement. Your auto lease contract will state the end-of-lease purchase price based on the car’s residual value, which was estimated when you signed your lease. Leasing companies will often contact you near the end of your lease term to communicate your lease-end options, which will include either the buyout option or returning the vehicle to the dealership.
Residual Value in Today’s Market
Dealers calculate a vehicle’s residual value based on its projected depreciation, and this value is locked in at the beginning of a car’s lease. And if the start of your lease was before the current supply chain issues, your car’s lease buyout price might be well-below current market value. That means that at the end of the lease contract you could purchase your leased vehicle and either sell it for a profit, or you can continue driving your lightly used car at a price well below market value.
Understanding the Value of Your Leased Car
Here’s how you can compare the vehicle’s residual value or buyout amount with its market price. To calculate the market value of the vehicle, you can use pricing tools like the iSeeCars free VIN Check, Kelley Blue Book, or Edmunds. Be sure to check your original contract for extra fees like a purchase option fee to determine the total amount you will be paying for the vehicle.
And be extra vigilant about dealer or finance company “add on” fees that were not specifically called out in your lease contract.
Leased Car Buyout Price: Other Factors to Consider
There are many factors that contribute to the buyout price of your car. This includes the vehicle’s make, model, residual value, and current value. The amount you paid for a down payment will also affect the buyout price.
Additional fees include:
- Buyout Fee/Purchase Option Charge: The leasing company will charge you for opting to buy the car rather than turning it in.
- State sales tax
- Registration fees
Can I Finance My Lease Buyout?
You can finance your lease buyout just as you would a regular used car purchase. The dealership will be eager to offer you financing, but you should also examine outside financing options as you would for a typical car loan. That means comparing interest rates from other lenders including banks and credit unions to see who will give you the best rate on your car lease buyout loan. Some lenders even offer auto loans specifically for lease buyouts. Keep in mind that the shorter your loan term, the more you will save on interest payments, but your monthly payments will be higher. That means you should opt for the shortest loan term you can afford. Also, your credit score will determine your loan rate, so make sure it is in good standing in order to get a competitive rate. If you have a poor credit score, you should consider having a co-signer.
Other Things to Consider
Anyone who has leased a car knows about the extra fees that often come at the end of the car lease. These fees include going over the mileage limits or any excess wear and tear your vehicle may have like scratches or dents. Buying out your lease will get you off the hook for these fees, so if either situation exists with your lease it is yet another reason to buy your car when the lease ends versus returning it.
Some lease agreements offer early lease buyouts which allow you to buy the vehicle before your term expires. Make sure you refer to your leasing agreement to see if you will have to pay extra fees for an early buyout. If there are fees involved, it’s likely a smarter decision to wait until the end of your lease.
Bottom Line
Buying out your vehicle lease can be a lucrative way to save on a lightly-used vehicle in today’s market. You’ll also avoid the low inventory and markups on new cars. What’s more, you can enjoy the savings that come along with buying a used car in today’s market while avoiding the guesswork about how the car was driven and maintained by its previous owner. You can even sell your vehicle to a private seller for a profit if you don’t want to keep driving it. So if you are nearing the end of your lease, you should at least consider purchasing your vehicle instead of taking out another lease or buying a new or used car to replace it.

Michigan home explosion heard for miles kills 4 and injures 2, police say
DETROIT (AP) — Four people died and two others were injured Saturday in a Michigan house explosion that could be heard miles away, police said.
The explosion happened before 4 p.m. in Northfield Township, about 45 miles (72.4 kilometers) west of Detroit. The structure was destroyed, leaving only the basement, Northfield Township Police Lt. David Powell told reporters Saturday.
The blast, which could be heard about 9 miles (14.4 kilometers) away, sent debris into the air that landed on both sides of a nearby highway. Neighboring homes were not damaged, Powell said.
Six people were in the home, with four fatalities discovered at the scene and the two surviving victims hospitalized in critical condition. Police did not immediately know if the victims were related, Powell said.
Authorities have not determined the cause of the explosion.
Northfield Township police did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press seeking additional information on Sunday.

"I am a fan...," Elon Musk after meeting PM Modi; planning to visit India next year
By ANI | Published: June 21, 2023 05:56 AM2023-06-21T05:56:42+5:302023-06-21T06:00:26+5:30
New York [US], June 21 : Tesla CEO and Twitter owner Elon Musk on Tuesday (local time) met Prime ...
New York [US], June 21 : Tesla CEO and Twitter owner Elon Musk on Tuesday (local time) met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a four-day State visit to the US and said that he is a fan of him and was honoured to meet him.
Speaking on PM Modi's leadership role in making technology inclusive so that digital infrastructure can be created, he said, "I can say he really wants to do the right thing for India. He wants to be open, he wants to be supportive of new companies, obviously, but at the same time, make sure it accrues to India's advantage, which is obviously that's the job I'm saying. I am a fan of Modi," to ANI.
In response to PM Modi's tweet regarding his meeting with business leaders in the US, Musk tweeted, "It was an honor to meet again."
"In the USA, I will also get the opportunity to meet business leaders, interact with the Indian community and meet thought leaders from different walks of life. We seek to deepen India-USA ties in key sectors like trade, commerce, innovation, technology and other such areas," tweeted PM Modi.
He also divulged plans to visit India anytime soon. On being questioned over did PM Modi extended an invitation to him, he said, "He did. And yes, I'm tentatively planning to visit India again next year. I'm looking forward."
Notably, this is the first meeting between PM Modi and Musk after he became the owner of Twitter. PM Modi earlier met Musk in 2015 during a visit to Tesla Motors factory in California.
"Well, I'm actually incredibly excited about the future of India. I think India has more promise than any large country in the world," told Musk to ANI.
Speaking about the takeaways from the meeting, Musk said that PM Modi really cares about India because he is pushing them to make significant investments in India, which is something that they intend to do and are just trying to figure out the right timing.
Earlier, during an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Musk was asked if the automaker was interested in the Indian market. "Absolutely," he replied.
He added that Tesla will likely finalise a location to set up its India factory by the end of this year.
"It was a fantastic meeting with the Prime Minister and I like him quite a lot. He visited our Tesla Fremont Factory several years ago, and so we've now known each other for a while, said Musk after meeting PM Modi today.
Speaking about future plans and investment in India, he said, "Yeah, well, I think there's a tremendous amount of potential for all three pillars of the sustainable energy future. The three pillars are sustainable energy generation through solar and wind, primarily. And obviously, India is great for solar. And the amount of land area you actually need to generate enough electricity to power India is very small. I believe it'd be probably one or 2 per cent of the land area of India. So it's very doable. And then you need to pair that with stationary battery packs because the sun doesn't shine at night. And then you need electric vehicles, and then you have a sustainable energy future. And I think the interesting thing people will find is that this is a lower cost way to go as well."
Musk also said that he is looking forward to bringing Starlink to India as well.
"The Starlink Internet, which I think can be incredibly helpful for sort of remote or rural villages where they perhaps either may have no access to the Internet or the Internet is very expensive and slow," he said.
Notably, his meeting comes days after former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey alleged that the BJP-led central government threatened to shut down Twitter in India and have its employees raided at the height of the farmers' protest in 2020.
PM Modi will be meeting over two dozen thought leaders from various fields after he lands in New York today.
These leaders comprise Nobel laureates, economists, artists, scientists, scholars, entrepreneurs, academics and experts from the health sector.

Watson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game in Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Watson will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a strained right hamstring, which hasn't allowed him to mix into drills in the meantime. He'll likely need to do so in order to have any chance of suiting up Week 18 against the Bears, but the Packers' receiving corps this Sunday will be composed of Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton with Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) also sitting out.

On both the ATP and WTA Tours there are the usual suspects fighting it out at the top, but also some stars forging a name for themselves.
Flashscore takes a look at some names that could catch the eye in the year ahead.
Shooting stars:
Ben Shelton
A breakout 2023 saw the USA's Ben Shelton show flashes of brilliance and stake his claim as one of the best young players on the ATP Tour.
The 21-year-old captured his first career title at the Japan Open after enjoying a memorable run to the US Open semi-finals before succumbing to Novak Djokovic.
That allowed Shelton to end the year inside the top 20 in what looks to be the start of the Atlanta-born left-hander's rise.
Arthur Fils
Nineteen-year-old Arthur Fils rocketed up the rankings to number 36 in 2023 after ending the year prior at 251.
Fils won a maiden ATP title on home clay in Lyon and claimed solid victories against Jannik Sinner, Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas throughout the year.
The powerful Frenchman hadn't played in the main draw of a Grand Slam until this year and could find himself seeded at the Australian Open if his first few weeks go well.
Jack Draper
Britain's best talent on the men's side, Jack Draper has the tools needed to establish himself as a tough customer.
Draper had hit a career-high of number 38 in the rankings in 2023 before injury hampered his campaign once again.
A fourth-round appearance at the US Open suggests he is on the cusp of really breaking out, but keeping healthy is the 21-year-old's main priority for the new season.
Qinwen Zheng
China's Qinwen Zheng had a stellar 2023 which saw her claim two WTA Tour titles and earn her current rank of 15 in the world.
The 21-year-old won the Palermo Open in July before embarking on a very successful run in her home country, winning the Zhengzhou Open and reaching the Zhuhai final.
Zheng also reached the US Open quarter-finals before falling to finalist Aryna Sabalenka should she improve her record against the top 10, 2024 has the potential to be even better for her.
Mirra Andreeva
Mirra Andreeva really caught the eye at Wimbledon when she reached the fourth round after going through the qualifying stage.
Aged just 16, the Russian is a serious-looking prospect and appears capable of recording Grand Slam success in the future.
Andreeva has also shown signs of a fiery streak which can both be a help and a hindrance and already at 57 in the world, the sky appears to be the limit for her.
Emma Navarro
The USA's college system has seemingly produced another talent in Emma Navarro after her solid 2023.
The 22-year-old rose from a 149 ranking up to 32 by the end of the year with a lot of her success coming at Challenger and ITF level.
Navarro's 64 wins over the year suggests there is a good mental toughness to her game which could stand her in good stead for the season to come.
Flashscore tips:
Dino Prizmic
The next big thing? Dino Prizmic drew attention to himself at the junior edition of the French Open, which he won with just one set loss and a commanding 6-1, 6-4 result against Bolivian Juan Carlos Prado Angelo.
Later in the year, the Croatian also gained his first experience on the ATP Tour and reached the quarter-finals of his home tournament in Umag.
He also reached the round of 16 in Stockholm and won his first tournament on the Challenger Tour in Banja Luka.
The 18-year-old's game is characterised by resistance from the baseline and his tremendous speed. We look forward to seeing more of Prizmic, perhaps also on a bigger stage.
Alex Michelsen
Michelsen has already won two finals at Challenger level in the past year. Both in Chicago against Yuta Shimizu and in Knoxville against the experienced Denis Kudla.
The 19-year-old has also reached the final at ATP level, but was unable to get past the experienced Adrian Mannarino in Newport.
In 2024, the "service monster" from Laguna Hills will make another big leap, with the American well on his way to becoming the successor to service legend John Isner.
Luca van Assche
The semi-finalist at this year's NextGen Finals has made a pretty good impression on the tour. In his second season on the ATP Tour, the Frenchman has moved straight up to 66th place.
The 19-year-old was extremely convincing on clay in particular, winning finals against two top players in Pau against Ugo Humbert and Sanremo against Juan Pablo Varillas.
So next year it will be the French Open in particular that he will be looking forward to, but Van Assche is already a force to be reckoned with in Australia in January.
Brenda Fruhvirtova
In 2024, the young Czech will be aiming to break into the top 50. After her first two years as a professional, the younger Fruhirtova sister has already won 15 titles on the ITF Tour, beating big-name players such as Ekaterina Makarova, Noma Noha Akugue and Mona Barthel.
The 16-year-old from Prague is an exceptional talent who is once again a prime example of the excellent work being done in the Czech Republic.
The TEC Waldau player is sure to spring a surprise or two in Melbourne - her career record of 101-19 speaks for itself.
Linda Fruhvirtova
Brenda's big sister has already reached the last 16 at the 2023 Australian Open, after making the semi-finals at Wimbledon in the 2021 Youth Slams.
In June, she was ranked 49th in the world, her highest ranking to date, and there is certainly more to come this year.
After winning over one million dollars in prize money in her young career, Fruhirtova can easily climb into the top 10 and perhaps even shake up the women's tennis world alongside her sister.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration on Sunday said that Reckitt/Mead Johnson is voluntarily recalling batches of powdered infant formula over bacterial contamination concerns.
According to a news release, the FDA said that Reckitt/Mead Johnson’s Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Powdered Infant Formula Products were being recalled. The specialty formula is a hypoallergenic infant product used by infants who are allergic to cow’s milk.
The formula came in 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce cans and was recalled over the possibility that the product had been contaminated by Cronobacter sakazakii, the FDA said.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Cronobacter sakazakii is a germ found naturally that can live in dry foods including powdered infant formula.
“Getting sick from Cronobacter does not happen often, but infections in infants can be deadly,” the CDC said. “Cronobacter infections in infants less than 12 months old are often linked to powdered infant formula.”
The FDA said that 675,030 cans of the formula were recalled on Friday after the agency was notified that the formula sent overseas tested positive for Cronobacter sakazakii by the Israeli Ministry of Health, CNN reported.
The FDA said that no illnesses have been reported so far and that most of the formula distributed in the U.S. has likely been consumed. Nutramigen in 12.6-ounce and 19.8-ounce containers was manufactured in June 2023 and distributed primarily in June, July, and August 2023, the agency said.
“All product in question went through extensive testing and tested negative for the bacteria,” Reckitt/Mead Johnson said in a news release.
The batch codes for the products are:
• ZL3FHG (12.6-ounce cans);
• ZL3FMH (12.6-ounce cans);
• ZL3FPE (12.6-ounce cans);
• ZL3FQD (12.6-ounce cans);
• ZL3FRW (19.8-ounce cans);
• ZL3FXJ (12.6-ounce cans).
The products have a UPC of 300871239418 or 300871239456 and “use by date” of “1 Jan. 2025,” the FDA said.
According to the agency, consumers with Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder bearing those batch numbers should not use them and dispose of them immediately.
Consumers with questions can call the company at 866-534-9986 at any time, or by email at consumer.relations@rb.com.
“We are committed to the highest level of quality and safety and it is for this reason that we have taken this measure,” Reckitt/Mead Johnson said in a statement. “Other testing of the batches in question tested negative for Cronobacter and other bacteria.”

Vladimir Putin’s New Year Message: A Call for Unity and Resilience
In his New Year message, Russian President Vladimir Putin underscored the resilience, unity, and shared determination of his country, stating that no force could divide the nation or halt its progress. His speech, broadcasted to millions across various Russian time zones, carried a defiant tone against any external pressures or challenges threatening Russia’s sovereignty or its future course.
A Message of Unity Amidst Tensions
Putin’s annual address, despite the geopolitical tensions and internal challenges Russia faces, seemed designed to bolster national pride and collective resolve. He praised Russia’s united society and its armed forces, particularly those involved in the nearly two-year-old war in Ukraine. The President asserted that Russia would never retreat, a clear indication of his stance against external pressures.
Remembering the Past, Looking to the Future
The Russian President emphasized the importance of remembering the legacy and beliefs of past generations, suggesting these are integral to the country’s continual development. His address highlighted the historical stage Russia is going through, expressing confidence in the Russian people’s ability to solve difficult problems and their unwavering commitment to remembering the memory and faith of their ancestors.
A Defiant Stance Amidst Challenges
Putin’s speech, in stark contrast to the previous year’s more grim and nationalistic messaging, underscored the unity and solidarity of Russian citizens. Despite the deadly shelling in Belgorod and Putin’s bid for reelection in the upcoming presidential election, Putin described the past year as largely positive, with victories in the war in Ukraine and his hold on the Kremlin. His call for ‘unity’ and ‘family values’ seems to be a strategic move designed to appeal to voters ahead of his 2024 re-election campaign.

Temperatures drop once again into the single digits to upper 20s across the state tonight with calm conditions. It will be cooler across the south into New Years Day, but overall seasonable and quiet conditions will persist for the first day of 2024. By Monday night, a storm system will arrive to the state bringing abundant moisture. The most ample moisture will be across southern New Mexico, with widespread low elevation rain and high elevation snow expected along and south of I-40. A few Northern Mountain snow flurries are possible as well. Albuquerque will be right on the edge of the moisture, so it’s still very uncertain if the metro will receive any precipitation. The storm will bring below average temperatures statewide. Models are already showing several other storm systems on the way next week…get ready for a very active start to 2024. Much needed moisture is on the way!

DENVER (KDVR) — A Colorado woman accused of killing two of her children was arrested in the United Kingdom on Saturday, according to police.
Kimberlee Singler, 35, is suspected of killing her 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son and attempting to kill her 11-year-old daughter in Colorado Springs.
On Dec. 19, police said they responded to a 911 call reporting a burglary at an apartment complex at around 12:30 a.m. and found the the bodies of the two deceased children.
Officers also located Singler and her 11-year-old daughter at the scene. They were both injured and taken to hospitals for treatment, according to Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson Ira Cronin.
Singler’s injuries were minor. The 11-year-old girl was hospitalized for a few days and then released. She is recovering well physically in Colorado Springs. Cronin said he could not release details about how the children or Singler were injured.
Police said the initial report of a burglary was unfounded.
Singler was initially cooperative with police investigating the homicides and alleged burglary. She went missing after the probe, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
“In the initial stages of the investigation, we were treating her as a victim of a burglary,” Cronin told the Associated Press.
On Dec. 26, investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Singler on multiple charges, including multiple counts of first degree murder, child abuse and assault.
The children’s deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings. Court hearings had been scheduled for next month.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

No excuses. We were beaten by a better team.
No ref issues, we lost.
But I am curious.
I believe only the Jets have needed so many different starters on the OL.
We played Sept, Oct, Nov without our #1 CB and now no #2.
Our #1 WR is a little banged up and missed a game down the stretch and #2 couldn’t play today.
Our MLBer is out and now we are without both edge rushers.
If the stats do show that we are more injured than most other teams, I would feel this needs to be addressed in the off season. How to address may be elusive.

A Colorado mother suspected of killing two of her young children and injuring a third was arrested Saturday in the United Kingdom, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.
Kimberlee Singler's 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son were found dead on Dec. 19 when police responded to a report of a burglary at their home. Police later said the report turned out to be unfounded.
Singler, 35, initially cooperated with police but disappeared during the investigation, said Ira Cronin, spokesperson for the Colorado Springs Police Department. Authorities were unable to apprehend her after obtaining an arrest warrant Tuesday on charges of murder and attempted murder, among other allegations.
Singler was not under surveillance and was last seen in Colorado Springs on Dec. 23, said Cronin.
Authorities did not provide further details on the overseas arrest, but said they are working with multiple law enforcement agencies.
Attempts to reach Singler for comment through phone numbers listed for her were unsuccessful. Cronin said he didn't know if she has an attorney.
When police first responded to Singler’s home, they found her with minor injuries, the two children’s bodies and Singler’s 11-year-old daughter hurt. At first, Singler was treated as a burglary victim, said Cronin.
The injured girl was hospitalized for a few days before being released and is recovering in Colorado Springs, said Cronin.
The children’s deaths came amid an ongoing legal battle between Singler and her ex-husband over parenting time and other issues, according to court filings.

The Eagles, with the division and playoff positioning on the line, crumbled to Jonathan Gannon's Cardinals in a 35-31 collapse.
There's still a chance at winning the NFC East, but they're neck and neck with the Cowboys again and are going to need help to do it. As for any hope of rallying to catch up to the 49ers and claim the NFC's No. 1 seed? Yeah, that's out the window now.
And if you can endure any more salt in the wound, here's Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and George Kittle coming off the field after the Niners' 27-10 win over Washington to watch the Eagles' implosion and the moment San Francisco clinched the one seed (as captured by Fangirl Sports' Tracy Sandler):

— Tracy Sandler (@TracyFGSN) December 31, 2023
The 49ers are the unstoppable juggernaut now (unless they're playing the Ravens) and the NFC's top dog, while the Eagles – though still a playoff team – have just been unraveling at the seams for the past month.
The defense can't tackle or cover, the offense has grown stagnant with predictable and uninspired playcalling, and the fans at the Linc spent much of Sunday booing the team off the field.
Morale is at a sever low with only one week left in the season.

15:45 CET - SPECULATION - After losing David Alaba (31) to a serious injury, Real Madrid are rumoured to be keen on taking former player Raphael Varane (30) back to the Spanish capital. Manchester United are not interested in selling, ESPN reports.
December 19th
16:50 CET - CONFIRMED - Nottingham Forest are set to announce the sacking of Steve Cooper, and it has been widely reported that Nuno Espirito Santo will replace him.
09:38 CET - SPECULATION - According to the Daily Express, Manchester United have sent scouts to watch Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy (27).
December 18th
19:50 CET - SPECULATION - Tribal Football is reporting that Manchester United are preparing a massive offer to temp Antoine Griezmann (32) away from Atletico Madrid.
Griezmann's contract reportedly carries a €25million buyout clause, but United are willing to pay double that to get a deal done. Would the France star be willing to trade a good situation for a potentially complicated one?
19:30 CET - SPECULATION - One young player that is drawing a lot of attention is River Plate rising star Claudio Echeverri (17). Manchester City, Chelsea and Barcelona are all linked with the U17 World Cup winner from Argentina.
15:35 CET - SPECULATION - One of the big transfer rumours doing the rounds is an unresolved story from summer. Fulham’s Joao Palhinha was so close to joining Bayern Munich that he was already in Germany on deadline day.
However, the deal fell through but the central midfielder is still a wanted man - reports suggest Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City will be joining the race to sign him this January.
December 16th
9:55 CET - SPECULATION - And whilst Phillips never did have a chance to become number one in his position, Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale (25) was the club's number one untill David Raya's (28) arrival on loan from Brentford in the summer.
TalkSport are reporting this morning that Chelsea could look to approach Arsenal for Ramsdale after the injury to their number one Robert Sanchez (26).
9:53 CET - SPECULATION - It is fair to say that Kalvin Phillips' (28) career has stalled since his move to Manchester City and there is little hope for him and his career in Manchester. So it comes as no surprise that Fabrizio Romano is reporting this morning that Phillips is 100% leaving in January.
December 15th
17:21 CET - SPECULATION - Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Eintracht Frankfurt have agreed on a loan deal with Manchester United for out of favour Donny Van De Beek (26).
16:47 CET - CONFIRMED - Real Madrid's new Galactico Endrick has landed in Madrid! Endrick will be a Madrid player from January onwards after leaving Palmeiras and his new life starts today. If he is not on too many people's radar yet, he will be soon, I assure you.
13:10 CET - SPECULATION - Erik ten Hag's job could come under real pressure if his side loses to Liverpool at the weekend according to the Manchester Evening News.
13:04 CET - SPECULATION - Arsenal could make a January move for Brazilian wonder kid Marcos Leonardo (20) of Santos according to Goal Brazil but face competition from Roma.
December 14th
17:30 CET - SPECULATION - Tottenham’s injury crisis a the back means that manager Ange Postecoglou’s top priority in January will likely be signing a new cetnre-halve. Read more about that here.

13:14 CET - SPECULATION - CaughtOffside is reporting that Saudi Arabian sides Al Shabab and Al Qadsiyah are interested in Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy (36). In what would be an incredible payday for a player who will remember his non-league days.
12:03 CET - SPECULATION - Reports are emerging suggesting that Chelsea outcast Romelu Lukaku (30) has said yes to a "millionaire proposal from Saudi Arabia" rather than staying on at side Roma next season.
Journalist Fabio Santini claims the Belgian international has accepted a lucrative offer to go to a Saudi Pro League team next season.
December 12th
17:09 CET - CONFIRMED - Tottenham left-back Destiny Udogie (21) has penned a new long-term contract at the club, after beginning the season in fantastic form.

Every year International Yoga Day is celebrated on June 21 worldwide. It serves as a platform to raise awareness about the numerous benefits of yoga and promote its holistic approach to physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced the concept of International Yoga Day during his 2014 address to the United Nations General Assembly. Since then, Yoga has gained immense popularity worldwide due to its ability to enhance flexibility, strength, balance, and overall fitness.
This year the theme of Yoga Day is 'Yoga For Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' i.e. Yoga for the welfare of all in the form of 'One World-One Family'. It emphasises the spirit of Yoga, which unites and takes everyone along. Like every time, this time too, yoga-related programs will be organized in every corner of the country.
Meanwhile, PM Modi will celebrate the International Day of Yoga on June 21 at the United Nations Headquarters with the UN leadership and members of the international community. Arrangements have also been made in different parts of the country to celebrate the occasion and spread awareness of the benefits of ancient Indian practice.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh will join Indian Navy personnel to perform yoga onboard the indigenously built aircraft carrier INS Vikrant.
It is the ninth year since the UN recognised June 21 as the International Day of Yoga through a resolution in 2014.

A 39-year-old Hawaii man died after suffering a shark bite at Maui’s Paia Bay on Saturday, authorities said.
According to a news release from Maui County officials, police responded to the area at approximately 11:19 a.m. local time.
The victim, whose name has not yet been released, was transported by jet ski to the shore, where first responders performed life-saving measures, the release stated.
The man was taken to Maui Memorial Hospital in critical condition and was later pronounced dead, KITV reported. It was unclear whether the victim was surfing alone or was with other people when he was attacked.
Authorities closed Baldwin Beach Park and Lower Paia Park after the attack and warning signs were posted, according to the television station.
Authorities said that warning signs would be taken down if no other incidents were reported on Sunday, KHON-TV reported.
According to the state’s Department of Land and Natural Resources database, Saturday’s attack was the only fatal shark attack during 2023, CBS News reported. There have been at least seven more incidents involving sharks in Hawaii over the past 12 months, the agency said.
“The preliminary investigation reveals no signs of foul play,” Maui County officials said in their news release. They added that an autopsy was scheduled.
It was unclear what species of shark attacked the surfer.
An investigation is ongoing.

Western Nations Fueling Conflict in Gaza, says Palestinian Ambassador
The escalating tensions in Gaza have been a matter of international concern, but recent remarks by the Palestinian Ambassador to Nigeria, Saleh Fhied Saleh, also known as AM_Shawesh, have cast an incisive light on the role of Western nations in this conflict. He asserts that the actions of these countries are not steering towards peace, but rather fueling the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Genocidal War and Western Involvement
Shawesh refers to the situation in Gaza as a ‘genocidal war,’ a term that starkly illuminates the severity of the conflict. This term references several harrowing events and phenomena, such as the Nakba, the Sabra and Shatila massacre, the blockade of the Gaza Strip, and the 2014 and 2023 Israel Hamas wars. These instances, according to Shawesh, are indicative of the genocide inflicted upon Palestinians by the State of Israel.
The ambassador’s comments also highlight the complexities of international involvement in the conflict. He suggests that the military, financial, or political support provided by Western nations may be contributing to the violence and suffering endured by the Palestinian people, rather than paving a path to peace.
Israel’s Stance and Actions
Amidst this accusation of Western nations fanning the flames of conflict, Israel’s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has called for the return of Jewish settlers to the Gaza Strip post-war and suggested that Gaza’s Palestinian population should be encouraged to emigrate. This has sparked further controversy, with the Palestinian Authority minister, Youssef Salama, being killed in an Israeli strike on his home in the Gaza Strip.
In an interview, Israel’s outgoing foreign minister, Eli Cohen, admitted the government’s failure to anticipate the Hamas attack on October 7. Subsequently, the Israeli government has approved the appointment of a new foreign minister in Cohen’s stead. Israel has also expressed readiness to allow ships to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip immediately via a proposed sea corridor from Cyprus.
Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
Despite these pledges of aid, the ongoing conflict has resulted in an alarming humanitarian crisis. The health ministry in Gaza reported a total of 21,822 Palestinian people killed and 56,451 injured in Israeli strikes in Gaza since October 7. The past 24 hours alone saw the death of 150 Palestinians and 286 injured, painting a grim picture of the reality on the ground.
The ambassador’s perspective adds a critical lens through which to view the conflict, suggesting that the path to peace may not lie solely in the hands of the warring parties but also in the actions and policies of external powers. It underscores the need for a holistic, unbiased, and concerted international approach to resolving this deep-seated conflict.

Some of the Dolphins' best players are injured going into the next season and this years' playoffs including Connor Williams, Jaelen Phillips, Jerome Baker, Bradley Chubb, Xavien Howard, Jaylan Waddle, etc. Today's loss was a fork in this season based on the injuries to Chubb and Howard. This defense does not work without two shutdown corners.

PITTSBURGH — This article originally appeared on steelersnow.com.
With the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 30-23 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Mike Tomlin has extended his well-noted NFL record of non-losing seasons to 17 in a row to start his coaching career, which no other coach in NFL history has ever accomplished. Only Tom Landry (21 seasons, 1965-1985) and Bill Belichick (19 seasons, 2001-2019) have more consecutive winning seasons than Tomlin’s 17. Landry had five consecutive losing seasons to start his career with the Dallas Cowboys, while Belichick had losing seasons in Cleveland and in his first season in New England.
Overall, the Steelers haven’t had a losing season since 2003, which is by far the longest active streak in the NFL. It’s also the second-longest streak in NFL history behind just the Dallas Cowboys’ 21-year run from 1965-85. The Steelers finished 8-8 four times over the past two decades (2006, 2012, 2013 and 2018).
Since becoming the Steelers head coach in 2007, Tomlin has only coached one game that did not have playoff implications or matter to it. That was the Week 17 regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns in 2012.

December 31, 2023
The Philadelphia Eagles stink. As always, win, lose, or tie, we hand out 10 awards.
The final score was 35-31, but make no mistake, the Eagles got their asses kicked in this game. The final team stats:
The Cardinals had 15 more first downs, 174 more yards, they ran 25 more plays, they held the ball for for almost 20 more minutes of game clock, and they didn't punt.
And it all happened at home against a 3-12 team with nothing to play for but pride.
In the first half the Cardinals had three offensive drives that took up a ton of time, but only resulted in 6 points, and actually a pick-six going the other way:
• Drive 1, FG: 14 plays, 64 yards, 7:46
• Drive 2, INT: 8 plays, 43 yards, 3:52
• Drive 3, FG: 16 plays, 59 yards, 9:54
• Drive 4, End of half: 2 plays, 9 yards, 0:16
Despite the lack of points on the board, the Cardinals were methodically moving the ball, and the Eagles' defense wasn't offering much resistance. The interception came on a play in which Kyler Murray had a miscommunication with his receiver and the Eagles were gifted a turnover. Sydney Brown made the pick, and he had an electric return for a score, but the Eagles' didn't exactly force the action on that turnover.
In the second half, the Eagles' defense was helpless.
• Drive 1, TD: 10 plays, 75 yards, 6:18
• Drive 2, TD: 9 plays, 77 yards, 5:03
• Drive 3, TD: 8 plays, 77 yards, 4:29
• Drive 4, TD, 7 plays, 70 yards, 2:01
The Eagles played worse defense in the second half against a 3-12 Cardinals team missing their starting LT and their best receiver than they did in their legendarily bad second half of the Super Bowl against Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid.
The panic move to demote Sean Desai and promote Matt Patricia to defensive coordinator did nothing.
The Eagles' run defense was especially bad. The Cardinals' rushing stats:
The Eagles' run defense was good at one time this year. Those days are long gone.
32 Kyler Murray dropbacks, 1 sack. Last week the Eagles' pass rush only had 1 sack against a historically bad Giants offensive line. They simply haven't been good enough. Or maybe more accurately, they simply haven't been good.
The offense played reasonably well in this game. Jalen Hurts was sharp and as a team they scored 3.4 points per drive. But with 4:13 left in the game, with the score tied and facing a 1st and 20 from the Cardinals' 30 yard line, the Eagles' offensive staff went uber conservative.
With the offensive weapons that the Eagles have assembled, somehow they seemed to be settling for a field goal.
One of the comical moments of this game while watching from the press box was when a fan was able to loudly yell "REALLY?!?" during the 1st and 20 called run to Hurts, before the rest of the crowd was able to react to the play call. Give that guy the game ball.
Nick Sirianni disagreed that they were conservative play calls.
"I don't think that's a conservative there," Sirianni said. "If they're blitzing a bunch of gaps right there, you're running a gap scheme that has a chance to hit for big yards, and we needed to get back into it. We could have thrown there, too. We chose to go [with quarterback runs]. It didn't hit, but I think sometimes with the gap scheme stuff you do you have to do some different things to cancel out gaps if they're bringing everything out, so that's why we went that way. It didn't work.
"The screen, we're 3rd and [19], you're going to have a hard time converting and we have to get ourselves in range — the wind was blowing into our faces a little bit on that side earlier in the game — so we needed to get into better range to make sure we took a three point lead there. And hey, they went down and scored and we didn't win the game."
That mumbo jumbo aside, I would say that if the defense is running a scheme that causes you to believe that two consecutive quarterback runs give you the best chance of getting big gains on 1st/2nd and long, you got out-schemed.
Oh, and on that screen call to Gainwell, DeVonta Smith's leg got rolled up on, and he left the stadium on crutches and in a walking boot. So there's that.
Credit where it's due — Gannon and the Cardinals' staff outcoached Sirianni and the Eagles' staff.
I actually thought Gannon's onsides kick attempt was a great move, even though it didn't work. If you recover it, great! If not, it shortened the amount of time the Eagles' offense would have the ball, and no matter the outcome of their ensuing drive, the Cardinals would have more time to drive the field yet again against the Eagles' shit defense. Kinda brilliant, really.
All the Eagles had to do was beat two of the worst teams in the NFL in the Cardinals and Giants and they would win the NFC East as well as earning the 2 seed in the NFC, at worst. Now? If the Cowboys beat the woeful Commanders next weekend, they will clinch the NFC East, the Eagles will be the 5 seed, and barring some incredibly unlikely playoff outcomes, any path to the Super Bowl (lol) will exclusively consist of road games.
At one point the Eagles were 10-1, and every other team in the NFL had a minimum of three losses. To go from that position of power to the freaking 5 seed (!) is just a stunning collapse.
True or not, do you think that Howie Roseman thinks that he built a really strong roster this season? I do. 🙋♂️
Do you think that he and Jeffrey Lurie are going to be happy if the team closes the regular season the way they did and then go one-and-done in the playoffs? I don't. 🙅♂️
I guess there's still a chance that the Eagles' can somehow turn their season around and maybe end on some level of respectability. I mean, I certainly wouldn't hold out any hope on that at this point, but it's possible, I guess?
If that doesn't happen, heads are going to roll. It's just a matter of how high up in the chain of command that Roseman and Lurie will be willing to go to fix the issues with this team.

Campbell (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
The Packers listed Campbell as doubtful Friday after the inside linebacker was unable to practice all week. It will be his second-straight missed game with a neck injury. In Campbell's absence, Isaiah McDuffie drew the start at inside linebacker for Week 16 against the Panthers and finished with eight tackles (five solo) while playing 46 defensive snaps.

Introduction
Steam, the renowned digital distribution platform for purchasing and playing video games, offers a wide array of features to enhance the gaming experience. One such feature is game controller support, which allows gamers to use various controllers, including gamepads and joysticks, to play their favorite titles on the platform.
While game controller support can be advantageous for many gamers, there are instances where disabling this feature becomes necessary. Whether it's due to a preference for traditional keyboard and mouse controls, troubleshooting compatibility issues, or the desire to prevent accidental controller input, there are valid reasons for wanting to disable game controller support on Steam.
In this article, we will delve into the reasons why one might choose to disable game controller support on Steam and provide a comprehensive guide on how to do so effectively. Whether you're a seasoned PC gamer or a newcomer to the platform, understanding the process of disabling game controller support can be invaluable in optimizing your gaming setup and ensuring a seamless gaming experience.
Next, we'll explore the various reasons why gamers may opt to disable game controller support on Steam.
Why Disable Game Controller Support on Steam
There are several compelling reasons why individuals may choose to disable game controller support on Steam. While game controllers are widely popular for certain gaming genres and can offer a more immersive experience, there are specific scenarios where disabling this feature becomes advantageous:
- Preference for Keyboard and Mouse Controls: Many PC gamers have a strong preference for using a keyboard and mouse for gaming, particularly in genres such as first-person shooters and real-time strategy games. Disabling game controller support allows these players to fully utilize their preferred input devices without the possibility of accidental controller input interfering with their gameplay.
- Compatibility Issues: In some cases, game controller support can lead to compatibility issues with certain games or applications. Disabling this feature can help mitigate such issues and ensure smoother gameplay experiences without the need for troubleshooting complex technical issues.
- Accidental Input Prevention: For gamers who have both game controllers and traditional input devices connected to their systems, accidental controller input during gameplay can be disruptive. By disabling game controller support, players can avoid unintended input from connected controllers, maintaining control precision and avoiding potential in-game mishaps.
- Preference for a Uniform Gaming Experience: Some gamers prefer to maintain a consistent gaming experience across different titles, and this may involve exclusively using keyboard and mouse controls. Disabling game controller support allows for a standardized input method, catering to personal preferences and playstyle.
Understanding the reasons behind disabling game controller support on Steam is crucial for tailoring the gaming experience to individual preferences and technical requirements. Next, we will explore the step-by-step process of disabling game controller support on the Steam platform.
How to Disable Game Controller Support on Steam
Disabling game controller support on Steam is a straightforward process that can be accomplished through the platform’s settings. Whether you’re looking to exclusively use keyboard and mouse controls or addressing compatibility issues, the following steps will guide you through the process:
- Open Steam: Launch the Steam application on your computer and ensure that you are logged into your account.
- Access Settings: In the upper-left corner of the Steam interface, click on “Steam” and select “Settings” from the dropdown menu. This will open the settings window where you can manage various aspects of the Steam platform.
- Navigate to Controller Settings: Within the settings window, locate and click on the “Controller” tab in the left-hand sidebar. This will display options related to game controller settings and configurations.
- Disable Generic Gamepad Configuration Support: Under the “Controller” tab, you will find the option to “General Controller Settings.” Uncheck the box next to “Generic Gamepad Configuration Support” to disable game controller support on Steam.
- Apply Changes: After unchecking the “Generic Gamepad Configuration Support” option, click the “OK” button at the bottom of the settings window to apply the changes. This action saves your updated controller settings and disables game controller support on Steam.
Once you have completed these steps, game controller support will be effectively disabled on your Steam platform. This simple process ensures that you can tailor your gaming experience to your preferred input methods and address any compatibility or control-related concerns.
It’s important to note that should you decide to re-enable game controller support in the future, you can revisit the same settings and recheck the “Generic Gamepad Configuration Support” option to restore controller functionality on Steam.
By understanding and implementing these steps, you can effectively manage game controller support on Steam, optimizing your gaming setup to suit your individual preferences and technical requirements.
Conclusion
Disabling game controller support on Steam offers a valuable level of control and customization for gamers, allowing them to tailor their gaming experiences to their preferences and technical needs. Whether it’s a matter of input device preference, compatibility concerns, or the desire for a uniform gaming experience, the ability to disable game controller support provides flexibility and optimization.
By understanding the reasons for disabling game controller support and following the simple steps to achieve this within the Steam platform, gamers can ensure a seamless and personalized gaming experience. The ability to switch between different input methods, troubleshoot compatibility issues, and prevent accidental controller input empowers players to fully immerse themselves in their favorite games without unnecessary disruptions.
Furthermore, the straightforward process of disabling game controller support on Steam underscores the platform’s commitment to user customization and accessibility. With just a few clicks, gamers can effortlessly manage their controller settings, aligning their gaming setup with their unique playstyle and technical requirements.
Ultimately, the ability to disable game controller support on Steam represents a fundamental aspect of empowering gamers to shape their gaming experiences according to their individual preferences and needs. Whether it’s for competitive gaming, immersive storytelling, or technical optimization, the flexibility provided by this feature enhances the overall enjoyment and control that players have over their gaming environments.
As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, the ability to customize and optimize the gaming experience becomes increasingly important. Disabling game controller support on Steam is just one example of how platforms are adapting to the diverse needs of gamers, ensuring that each player can enjoy their favorite titles in a way that best suits them.
By understanding the reasons, process, and implications of disabling game controller support on Steam, gamers can take full advantage of this feature to enhance their gaming experiences and maximize their enjoyment of the diverse array of titles available on the platform.

International Yoga Day: Uttarakhand CM Dhami performs Yoga in Haridwar
By ANI | Published: June 21, 2023 05:46 AM2023-06-21T05:46:18+5:302023-06-21T05:50:03+5:30
Haridwar (Uttarakhand) [India], June 21 : Uttarakhand Chief Minsiter Pushkar Singh Dhami and Yog Guru Baba Ramdev on Wednesday ...
Haridwar (Uttarakhand) [India], June 21 : Uttarakhand Chief Minsiter Pushkar Singh Dhami and Yog Guru Baba Ramdev on Wednesday performed Yoga in Haridwar to mark the 9th International Yoga Day.
A large number of people participated and performed the Yoga asanas (poses) at the Patanjali Peeth in Haridwar.
The concept of International Yoga Day was introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his 2014 address to the United Nations General Assembly.
Since then, Yoga has gained huge popularity worldwide due to its ability to enhance flexibility, strength, balance, and overall fitness.
This year the theme of Yoga Day is 'Yoga For Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' i.e. Yoga for the welfare of all in the form of 'One World-One Family'.
It emphasises the spirit of Yoga, which unites and takes everyone along. Like every time, this time too programs related to yoga will be organised in every corner of the country.
It serves as a platform to raise awareness about the numerous benefits of yoga and promote its holistic approach to physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Yoga is not only beneficial for mental health problems but for overall well-being. Regular yoga practice reduces stress and improves symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Following the pandemic, yoga has shown remarkable results in reducing anxiety and depression symptoms. It helps with emotional management, mood improvement, and brain clarity and also highlights the connection between the mind and the body.
Meanwhile, PM Modi will celebrate the International Day of Yoga on June 21 at the United Nations Headquarters with the UN leadership and members of the international community.
Arrangements have also been made in different parts of the country to celebrate the occasion and spread awareness of the benefits of ancient Indian practice.
It is the ninth year since the UN recognised June 21 as the International Day of Yoga through a resolution in 2014.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (AP) — Harrison Butker was a career-best 6 for 6 on field-goal attempts, Kansas City held the Bengals scoreless over their final seven possessions, and the Chiefs rallied to beat Cincinnati 25-17 on Sunday to clinch their eighth straight AFC West title.
Patrick Mahomes had 245 yards passing and a touchdown for Kansas City (10-6), which also secured at least the No. 3 seed and one home playoff game. Isiah Pacheco ran 18 times for 130 yards while Rashee Rice had five catches for 127 yards.
The Bengals (8-8), fighting for their own playoff lives, led by 10 early but found themselves trailing 25-17 when Butker hit the last of his field goals — a 46-yarder through blustery wind — with 2:59 remaining in the game.
With one last chance, Jake Browning hit Tyler Boyd to convert a long fourth down and get into Kansas City territory, but back-to-back sacks by George Karlaftis and Chris Jones gave the Chiefs eight on the day and ended the Bengals' comeback hopes.
Browning finished with 197 yards passing and a touchdown. Joe Mixon ran for 65 yards and had the TD reception.
Butker converted from 54, 43, 27, 24, 48 and 46 yards, accounting for the game’s final 18 points.
The Bengals and Chiefs are accustomed to playing high-stakes games when the weather turns frigid, meeting for down-to-the-wire nail-biters in each of the past two AFC championship games. And they are usually accompanied by plenty of trash talk, be it from elected officials or — in the case this past week — players such as the Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase.
The animosity usually spills onto the field, too. Midway through the second quarter, Chase and Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed got into a heated argument, and eventually a team-wide scrum resulted in offsetting personal fouls.
The Bengals jumped ahead 10-7 when an 8 1/2-minute drive resulted in a field goal and a 6 1/2-minute march ended in Mixon's touchdown catch. Cincinnati then got the ball back when Trey Hendrickson ran right around rookie right tackle Wanya Morris, stripped Mahomes from behind and Sam Hubbard was there to pounce on the loose ball.
Pass interference on Sneed in the end zone set up Browning's 1-yard TD run.
Butker's first field goal got the Chiefs within 17-10, and they had a chance to take the lead when Mahomes saw Marquez Valdes-Scantling wide open on their next possession. But yet another dropped pass — the NFL-leading 40th by Kansas City this season — forced the Chiefs to settle for a field goal to trail 17-13 at the break.
As the Chiefs' defense stiffened in the second half, their offense began showing signs of life.
They stuffed the Bengals on fourth-and-1 at the Kansas City 6, then drove 82 yards for Butker's third field goal. And after the Bengals had to punt, Mahomes hit Rashee Rice for 67 yards to set up Butker's chip shot and give the Chiefs the lead for good.
INJURIES
Cincinnati WR Tee Higgins left in the second quarter with a hamstring injury. He returned to the game but didn't have another catch, finishing with one for 19 yards.
Kansas City WR Justin Watson hurt his chest in the third quarter but returned to the game.
UP NEXT
Bengals: Host Cleveland next weekend.
Chiefs: At the Los Angeles Chargers next weekend.

White House Staffers Protest Gaza Policy: A Risk to Government Functioning?
Recently, a group of junior staffers from President Biden’s administration held a public vigil outside the White House. Displaying a significant departure from traditional bureaucratic protocol, they openly protested against the administration’s handling of the Gaza war. These staffers demanded not only a ‘permanent ceasefire’ but also an ‘immediate de-escalation.’
The Intersection of Duty and Dissent
While the U.S. Constitution upholds the right to express individual views, it becomes a matter of concern when government employees cross the line into active insubordination. Traditionally, U.S. government officials who strongly disagree with policies either voice their dissent through formal channels or resign. The act of public protest by White House staffers, while still being employed by the government, could potentially jeopardize the smooth functioning of the government and even pose a risk to national security.
The Responsibility of White House Staff
It is essential to remember that serving in the White House, especially on the National Security Council, is a privilege that comes with certain responsibilities. One of these is to support the President’s decisions, even if they clash with personal beliefs. The authors of this piece, Victoria Coates and Jamie Metzl, who have previously served on the National Security Council staff, argue that those who cannot abide by this principle should opt for resignation.
A Call for Immediate Action
Coates and Metzl strongly advocate for the immediate termination of the protesting staff members. They believe this action is necessary to maintain the integrity of government institutions and the Presidency. This incident serves as a reminder that while personal opinions are valued in a democratic society, it becomes problematic when they interfere with the duties and responsibilities associated with serving in the White House.

Active Roster
I have not heard a peep about it from the pundits. Right before the end of the first half, Miami has the ball, was moving it nicely, and was in Baltimore territory at their 44. They were down 21-13. Miami scores there, it is 21-20, and they are back in it with momentum coming out of the half. Given they were at the Baltimore 44, they did not need a lot of time left on the clock. They ran the prior play with 2:16 left. It was completed to Durham Smythe over the middle, and the clock was running. They rushed to get the next play off before the 2 minute warning. IDIOTIC. There was no need to rush, given where they were, did not need the time. The Miami D was not stopping Baltimore either. So the best thing to do was a scoring drive that left little to no time on the clock for Baltimore (just like we finished Dallas off at the end last week). Instead, they rush to get the play off to beat the 2 minute warning, and it is intercepted. Baltimore turns around and scores on the short field. 14 point swing, and huge momentum shift from there. Game over at that point, we got ran out of the building. I put this one squarely on McDaniel. There are times to take the foot off the gas pedal, and he does not seem to know how to do that, yet. Some of this is not complicated.
If they take their time, let it get to the 2 minute warning, and then run a play, who knows what happens?
Does the Chubb injury even happen (but then again, that is Chubb and why I hated that deal, some guys just always get hurt)?
If the Chris Brooks/Mike White fumble doesn't happen, does Chubb get hurt?
If Tua doesn't get hurt, does the Chris Brooks/Mike White fumble happen?
If Tyreek Hill catches that TD early, what happens?
Anyway cannot go on the road, against good teams, and make these kind of mistakes. But I think the biggest of all was rushing to get that play off before the 2 minute warning in the first half. The game radically changed after that interception. That is on McDaniel.
PS I was so certain it was going down to the 2 minute warning, I went to relieve myself, and all of the sudden heard the Baltimore fans going nuts on the TV. I was totally perplexed, because it should have been into commercial break. Oops....

The Z Button on a Game Controller: An Introduction
When it comes to gaming, every button on a controller serves a specific purpose, adding depth and complexity to the overall gaming experience. Among these buttons, the Z button holds a unique position, often overlooked by casual gamers but revered by those who understand its significance. This unassuming button has a rich history and plays a crucial role in various games, contributing to the immersive and dynamic nature of modern gaming.
As technology continues to advance, the significance of the Z button has evolved, adapting to the changing landscape of gaming. From its humble origins to its pivotal role in contemporary gaming, the Z button has become a symbol of innovation and versatility, shaping the way players interact with virtual worlds.
This article delves into the world of gaming controllers, shedding light on the purpose and evolution of the Z button. Furthermore, it explores how the Z button is used in different games, showcasing its diverse functionalities across various gaming genres. By understanding the intricacies of this seemingly inconspicuous button, gamers can gain a deeper appreciation for the thought and design that goes into creating immersive gaming experiences.
The Purpose of the Z Button
At first glance, the Z button may appear to be just another component of a game controller, but its significance cannot be understated. This button, typically positioned on the top or back of the controller, serves a multitude of functions, adding a layer of complexity and versatility to gameplay.
One of the primary purposes of the Z button is to provide additional input options for gamers. In many games, especially those with three-dimensional environments, the Z button is utilized for actions such as crouching, targeting, or performing context-specific maneuvers. This additional input allows players to execute intricate in-game actions with precision, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
Besides its role in gameplay mechanics, the Z button often serves as a modifier, enabling secondary functions for other buttons on the controller. This feature expands the range of actions a player can perform without overburdening the controller with excessive buttons. By holding down the Z button in combination with other inputs, players can access alternate commands, adding depth and flexibility to their interactions within the game.
Furthermore, the Z button has become synonymous with actions that require finesse and subtlety. Whether it’s gently applying pressure to sneak past adversaries or precisely aiming a weapon for a critical shot, the Z button empowers players to navigate virtual worlds with finesse and precision, elevating the level of control and immersion in the gaming experience.
As gaming continues to evolve, the Z button remains an integral part of controller design, adapting to the demands of modern game development. Its versatility and nuanced functionality contribute to the ever-expanding possibilities within games, demonstrating that even a seemingly unassuming button can have a profound impact on the gaming landscape.
The Evolution of the Z Button
The evolution of the Z button mirrors the rapid advancements in gaming technology and the ever-changing demands of game design. Originally introduced as a novel addition to game controllers, the Z button has undergone significant transformations, adapting to the evolving complexities of modern gaming.
In its early iterations, the Z button was primarily associated with camera control and targeting in 3D environments. This functionality was groundbreaking at the time, revolutionizing the way players interacted with virtual spaces. As gaming technology progressed, the Z button’s role expanded beyond camera manipulation, encompassing a wide array of in-game actions and contextual commands.
With the advent of more sophisticated gaming consoles and controllers, the physical design of the Z button also underwent changes. From its humble beginnings as a small, discrete button, the Z button evolved into a more ergonomic and responsive component, seamlessly integrating with the overall controller layout. This evolution in design aimed to enhance the accessibility and functionality of the Z button, ensuring that players could engage with complex in-game actions with ease.
Moreover, the evolution of the Z button extends beyond its physical form. As game developers pushed the boundaries of gameplay mechanics, the Z button’s capabilities expanded, accommodating a diverse range of functions across various genres. From stealth-based movements in action-adventure games to precision aiming in first-person shooters, the Z button’s evolution reflects the ever-growing complexity and depth of gaming experiences.
Furthermore, the integration of motion controls and haptic feedback in modern controllers has redefined the role of the Z button, introducing new dimensions of interaction and immersion. This evolution has transformed the Z button into a dynamic interface, responsive to the nuanced gestures and inputs of players, further blurring the lines between the physical and virtual realms.
As gaming continues to push the boundaries of innovation, the evolution of the Z button serves as a testament to the industry’s relentless pursuit of enhancing player experiences. The journey from its modest origins to its current multifaceted functionality underscores the pivotal role of the Z button in shaping the evolving landscape of gaming.
How the Z Button is Used in Different Games
The versatility of the Z button is exemplified by its diverse applications across a wide spectrum of games, each leveraging its functionality to enhance gameplay in unique ways.
In action-adventure games, the Z button often facilitates stealth and evasion mechanics. Players can use it to crouch behind cover, move silently to avoid detection, or perform takedowns on unsuspecting adversaries. This nuanced control adds depth to stealth gameplay, allowing players to navigate intricate environments with precision and strategy.
First-person shooters harness the Z button for aiming and precision targeting. By lightly pressing the Z button, players can steady their aim, reducing weapon sway and enhancing accuracy during intense firefights. This mechanic adds a layer of skill-based gameplay, rewarding players who can master the delicate balance between speed and precision in combat scenarios.
Platformers utilize the Z button for context-specific actions, such as ground pounds, wall jumps, or mid-air maneuvers. This versatile input provides players with a wide range of acrobatic abilities, empowering them to navigate challenging terrain and overcome obstacles with agility and finesse.
Racing games often employ the Z button for drift control, allowing players to execute precise and stylish maneuvers around sharp corners. By modulating the pressure on the Z button, players can fine-tune their drifts, showcasing their mastery of vehicle handling and control on the race track.
Role-playing games frequently utilize the Z button for targeting enemies and accessing contextual menus during combat encounters. This functionality enables players to strategize and execute tactical decisions with precision, adding depth to the strategic elements of RPG combat systems.
Furthermore, puzzle games integrate the Z button for interacting with environmental elements and manipulating puzzle mechanics. Whether it’s pushing blocks, activating switches, or rotating objects, the Z button provides players with the means to engage with and solve intricate puzzles within the game world.
From immersive open-world adventures to high-octane competitive experiences, the Z button’s adaptability across different genres underscores its integral role in shaping the diverse and dynamic landscape of modern gaming.
Exploring the Impact of the Z Button
As we conclude our exploration of the Z button on game controllers, it becomes evident that this unassuming input has left a profound mark on the gaming industry. From its humble origins to its multifaceted applications in diverse game genres, the Z button stands as a testament to the evolution of gaming interfaces and the ever-expanding possibilities within virtual worlds.
The Z button’s journey from a simple camera control mechanism to a versatile modifier and nuanced input reflects the relentless innovation and creativity driving the gaming landscape.

Ultimately, the Z button serves as a reminder of the intricate dance between player agency and virtual environments, offering a conduit through which players can exert their will and skill within the digital realms. Its presence on game controllers symbolizes the marriage of player input and game responsiveness, forming a vital link in the chain of interactions that define the gaming experience.
As we look to the future of gaming, the legacy of the Z button serves as a harbinger of innovation and adaptability, promising continued evolution and refinement in the realm of interactive entertainment. Its enduring significance underscores the enduring impact of even the smallest components in shaping the way we play and engage with virtual worlds.
In essence, the Z button stands as a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and thoughtful design that underpin the gaming experience, reminding us that even the most inconspicuous button can wield immense influence in the ever-expanding tapestry of interactive entertainment.

Wicks (chest/ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday at Minnesota, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks was knocked out of last Sunday's win at Carolina with a chest injury, which kept him off the practice field until Friday. After the Packers listed him as questionable for Week 17 action, coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com that Wicks was "very limited" in Friday's session, and the lack of activity likely swayed the team to hold out the rookie fifth-round pick this weekend. With Christian Watson (hamstring) also out Sunday, Green Bay's options at wide receiver are Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Malik Heath, Samori Toure and Bo Melton.

Man succumbs to injuries suffered in monkey attack in UP's Badaun
By IANS | Published: June 21, 2023 05:03 AM2023-06-21T05:03:03+5:302023-06-21T05:55:44+5:30

Badaun (Uttar Pradesh), June 21 A 54-year-old man died, seven days after a troop of monkeys had attacked him while he was visiting his sister's house in Uttar Pradesh's Badaun district.
Kali Charan, a resident of Amroli village, was serving as a follower in the Badaun police line.
On June 13, he visited his sister Jai Devi's house in Murthzabad village of Fatehganj region, where he was attacked by a troop of monkeys.
Charan's son Mohar Singh said that his father went to the rooftop for a stroll in the evening.
It was there that a group of monkeys attacked him, so he fell down from the roof.
Initially, he was hospitalised in Badaun, but was later referred to Bareilly due to deteriorating health conditions, he added.
Singh said, "Sadly, after receiving treatment for seven days at a private hospital located on Bareilly's mini bypass, he passed away and his autopsy was done on Tuesday."
Pankaj Gangwar, head of Murthzabad village, said that several people were injured in monkey attacks in the village. However, no action has been taken to capture them despite multiple complaints.
Earlier, Badaun and Bareilly districts witnessed several attacks by stray monkeys.
On July 27, 2022, a troop of monkeys attacked and injured several people near the Rajshree Medical of Fatehganj area in Badaun.
Meanwhile, in July 2022, a monkey snatched a four-month-old baby from its father's arms in Dunka area of Bareilly, resulting in the infant's death due to the fall.
Udit Panwar, Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Mirganj, confirmed the incident and said, "Immediate measures are being taken to deploy a team to capture stray monkeys and address the escalating problem."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — (AP) — Panthers owner David Tepper threw the contents of a drink into the visiting crowd near the end of Carolina's 26-0 loss at Jacksonville on Sunday.
Tepper’s reaction came after rookie Bryce Young was intercepted with less than 3 minutes to play. It was unclear whether Tepper was reacting to something said to him or the latest miscue for the team with the NFL’s worst record.
General manager Scott Fitterer was standing near Tepper when he tossed the remnants of his drink while watching the game from a club suite.
The Panthers (2-14) dropped to 0-9 on the road and were shut out for the first time since losing to Atlanta in Week 12 in 2002. They also clinched the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft in April — a selection that will go to Chicago.
Nothing went right in this one for Carolina, and had Jacksonville not gone 1 for 5 scoring in the red zone, the outcome likely would have been way more lopsided.
Bryce Young completed 19 of 32 passes for 112 yards, with an interception, and was sacked six times. He now has been sacked a whopping 59 times.
“Yeah, not fun. Not fun at all,” Young said. “It’s on us. It’s what we put out. It’s our tape. It’s what we did. We own it, accept it. It is what it is, but it’s not fun.”
Carolina had issues before the coin flip.
Kicker Eddy Pineiro injured his right hamstring in pregame warmups and was unable to go. Starting linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill handled the opening kickoff, and interim coach Chris Tabor kept his offense on the field for a fourth-and-7 play in normal field-goal range on the team’s opening drive.
Young was sacked and took a shot to his back. He spent several minutes getting checked on the sideline and returned in time for the next series.
“Obviously when there’s only one kicker on your 48, that’s a tough deal,” Tabor said.
Cornerback Jaycee Horn (toe) also was a late scratch after going through warmups. Horn had been scheduled to play, and Tabor even made CJ Henderson inactive. But Horn couldn’t go, so Shaquill Griffin was thrust into the starting lineup.
Griffin was burned for a 48-yard gain, part of a lackluster performance all around for the visitors.
“I’m disappointed, obviously, and that’s a pretty generic answer,” Tabor said. “Did not see it coming. I will tip my hat to the Jaguars. The way we were trending, I did not see this performance coming down.
“We never got on track. We talked a lot about starting fast this week, and we did not do that. ... How are you going to deal with it? There’s only two choices: It’s either character or compromise. Those are questions for everybody.”
The Panthers had more injury issues during the game. Guard Cade Mays left with a finger injury and then linebacker Marquis Haynes, a sixth-year pro who grew up in Jacksonville, was carted off the field in the third quarter with a concussion. He was taken to a hospital for further testing and did not fly home with the team.
Haynes flashed a thumbs-up sign to the crowd as he left the stadium. It was one of the few occasions Carolina fans had to cheer.
The Panthers finished with 124 yards, were 1 of 13 on third down and had defensive lineman Derrick Brown ejected along with Jacksonville left tackle Cam Robinson late in the fourth. They ripped off each other's helmets after a play.
“Missed opportunities. Just execution top to bottom,” Young said. “There’s a long list of stuff I’ve got to do better, and then offensively we all take responsibility. We all look in the mirror, and I think ‘disconnected’ is a good word.
“Just wasn’t executing, wasn’t translating, and as far as the offense, that’s on me.”

Xi Jinping’s 2024 New Year Message: A Call for Collective Strength and Resilience
In his New Year message for 2024, Chinese President Xi Jinping underscored the collective strength and resilience of the people of China. Delivered on the eve of the New Year via the China Media Group and the internet, Xi’s message was one of unity and collective effort, drawing from the central themes that have characterized his leadership thus far.
Reflecting on a Year of Challenges and Achievements
President Xi opened his address by extending his best New Year wishes to everyone, a sentiment tinged with a robust acknowledgement of the challenges China faced in 2023. From the ongoing COVID-19 response to economic recovery, Xi emphasized the nation’s continued resilience in the face of adversity. Despite these obstacles, China experienced sustained progress in innovation-driven development, cultural preservation, and a steady rise in high-quality development and modernized industrial system upgrades.
Looking Ahead to a Future of Unity and Progress
Xi’s message was not merely a reflection on the past but a hopeful gaze into the future. Expressing full confidence in the future, he outlined the goals for the upcoming year, centered around advancing Chinese modernization, promoting high-quality development, and deepening reforms. The pursuit of these goals, he insists, is not to be undertaken by a select few but is a collective effort by the people of China.
A Nation’s Strength Lies in its People
The central theme of Xi’s address was the importance of the people. He expressed deep appreciation for the contributions of ordinary Chinese citizens and acknowledged the hardships faced by some due to natural disasters. His message serves as an affirmation of the leadership’s focus on the populace as the foundation for navigating and prevailing over the nation’s challenges. The unity of the people, Xi’s message suggests, is the cornerstone of China’s national strategy and development.

This Bills game has HUUUUUUGE ramifications (duh) but hear me out...
Beating the Bills next week changes EVERYTHING but as someone who has been very critical of Tua. The schedule would be very Tua-favorable.
Dolphins would be 2 seed (which means at least 2 home games)
Chiefs are locked in as 3 seed
Jags should get the 4th seed
Browns are locked in as 5 seed
Colts or Texans would be 6 seed
Steelers would be 7 seed (They're playing the Ravens who should rest starters.. they have a bunch of injuries)
Bills would be eliminated (woohoo)
Dolphins would play the Steelers. That is a very Tua-favorable win. He can handle that team.
Despite the Chiefs looking off, Mahomes at home in the playoffs will beat the Texans/Colts
I think Browns beat the Jags
So it would be 1. Ravens vs 5. Browns (wow, that would be a game the Ravens could actually lose. Browns have already beaten them)
2nd round - 2. Dolphins would play at home vs 3. Chiefs.Maybe not as Tua-friendly but Tua can beat this team. This is a game the defense can handle too. No special receivers.
2. Dolphins vs 5. Browns for the AFC Championship would be in Miami!! Ramsey locks down Cooper and Flacco throws 2 picks and we win an ugly one.
Dolphins - 49ers SuperBowl.
I know I've been hating on Tua but in my opinion. there are only 2 teams Dolphins cannot beat... Bills or Ravens. So yes, Dolphins struggle mightily against the Bills but IF we could beat the Bills, the entire AFC playoffs could go through Miami.
LETS GOOOO

SEATTLE — This article originally appeared on steelersnow.com.
Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren were dominant and Mason Rudolph was efficient again as the Pittsburgh Steelers used their strong rushing attack to dominate time of possession and silence the crowd at Lumen Field in a 30-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
The victory improves the Steelers to 9-7 on the season, securing the 17th consecutive non-losing season for the franchise and keeping their playoff hopes alive.
The question coming into the week had been whether Rudolph would get another shot after impressing against the Cincinnati Bengals last week, or if Kenny Pickett would return from his ankle injury.

Chicken Invaders, a beloved series of arcade-style shoot 'em up games, places players in the midst of an intergalactic battle against a formidable and feathered foe. Developed by InterAction Studios, the franchise has garnered a dedicated following due to its whimsical premise, engaging gameplay, and lighthearted humor.
The game's storyline revolves around a dystopian future where Earth is under constant threat from a seemingly inexhaustible army of vengeful chickens. Players assume the role of courageous space pilots tasked with defending humanity from the clutches of these poultry adversaries. As they journey through the cosmos, they encounter a variety of chicken-infested environments, each presenting unique challenges and formidable boss battles.
Chicken Invaders' gameplay mechanics are characterized by fast-paced action, challenging waves of enemies, and a diverse array of power-ups and weapons. Players must navigate their spacecraft through a hail of eggs and evasive maneuvers while unleashing devastating firepower upon their feathered adversaries. The game's intuitive controls and responsive gameplay contribute to its accessibility and appeal to players of all skill levels.
With its vibrant graphics, catchy sound effects, and humorous narrative, Chicken Invaders offers a delightful and immersive gaming experience.

As we delve deeper into the compatibility of game controllers with Chicken Invaders, understanding the essence of the game and its mechanics is crucial. By gaining insight into the game's dynamics and challenges, players can discern the advantages of incorporating a game controller into their gameplay, thereby enhancing their ability to navigate the cosmos and thwart the poultry onslaught with precision and finesse.
Compatible Game Controllers
When it comes to selecting a game controller for Chicken Invaders, compatibility and functionality are paramount. The game is designed to be played using a keyboard and mouse, but many players prefer the tactile feedback and precision control offered by game controllers. Fortunately, Chicken Invaders supports a variety of game controllers, allowing players to tailor their gaming experience to their preferences.
One popular choice among gamers is the Xbox One controller, renowned for its ergonomic design, responsive buttons, and seamless compatibility with PC gaming. Its plug-and-play functionality and native support in Windows make it an excellent option for Chicken Invaders enthusiasts seeking a familiar and reliable controller.

With its comfortable grip, responsive analog sticks, and touchpad functionality, the DualShock 4 provides an intuitive and versatile input method for navigating the game’s chicken-infested battlegrounds.
For those who prefer a more retro gaming experience, the use of classic gamepads, such as the SNES or Sega Genesis controllers, is also a viable option. With the aid of third-party adapters or software, these timeless controllers can be utilized to bring a nostalgic touch to the Chicken Invaders experience.
PC gamers who favor a customizable and modular approach may opt for gaming controllers from renowned manufacturers such as Logitech or Razer. These controllers offer a range of programmable buttons, customizable profiles, and ergonomic designs, catering to the diverse preferences of players seeking a personalized gaming interface.
Furthermore, generic USB game controllers and arcade-style fight sticks can also be utilized to play Chicken Invaders, providing players with a diverse array of options to suit their gaming setup and play style.
As we explore the compatibility of game controllers with Chicken Invaders, it’s essential to consider the unique features and ergonomic considerations of each controller, ensuring that players can select the ideal input device to complement their gaming experience.

Introduction
When embarking on Lara Croft's latest adventure in "Rise of the Tomb Raider," the choice of a PC game controller can significantly impact the gameplay experience. While the classic keyboard and mouse setup offers precision and familiarity, many gamers prefer the ergonomic comfort and intuitive controls of a gamepad. In this guide, we'll explore the various PC game controllers available for playing "Rise of the Tomb Raider" and discuss their features, compatibility, and advantages. Whether you're a seasoned Tomb Raider fan or a newcomer to the series, selecting the right controller can enhance your immersion in this thrilling action-adventure game.
As we delve into the realm of PC game controllers, it's essential to consider the impact of the chosen device on gameplay. The responsiveness, button layout, and overall feel of the controller can significantly influence the player's interaction with the game world. Additionally, compatibility with the game and the PC platform is crucial for a seamless and enjoyable gaming experience. By examining the options available, gamers can make an informed decision that aligns with their preferences and play style.
Throughout this guide, we'll explore the benefits and drawbacks of using different PC game controllers with "Rise of the Tomb Raider," shedding light on how each device can enhance or alter the gaming experience. Whether you're seeking precision in aiming and movement, seamless integration with the game's mechanics, or a comfortable and ergonomic design for extended gaming sessions, there's a PC game controller that can cater to your needs. Join us as we navigate the world of PC gaming peripherals and discover the ideal companion for your journey alongside Lara Croft.
Keyboard and Mouse
For many PC gamers, the classic combination of a keyboard and mouse serves as the go-to input method for navigating the treacherous landscapes of "Rise of the Tomb Raider." This setup offers precise aiming, responsive movement, and a familiar control scheme that many players have mastered over the years. The keyboard provides a wide array of customizable key bindings, allowing players to tailor their controls to suit their preferences and play style. Additionally, the mouse offers unparalleled accuracy in aiming, essential for lining up those crucial headshots and navigating challenging environmental puzzles.
One of the primary advantages of the keyboard and mouse configuration is the versatility it offers. Players can swiftly switch between various weapons, tools, and skills using designated keys, enabling seamless adaptation to different combat scenarios and exploration challenges. The mouse’s precise tracking also enhances the fluidity of aiming, empowering players to take down enemies with precision and finesse.
However, some gamers may find that the keyboard and mouse setup lacks the ergonomic comfort and intuitive movement control offered by gamepads. Extended gaming sessions can lead to fatigue, particularly in the wrists and hands, as the constant manipulation of keys and mouse movements can strain these areas. Additionally, some players may prefer the analog movement controls of a gamepad, which allows for more nuanced and gradual character movements compared to the binary input of keyboard keys.
Despite these considerations, the keyboard and mouse remain a popular choice for "Rise of the Tomb Raider" due to their precision, customizability, and widespread familiarity among PC gamers. The ability to tailor key bindings, leverage precise aiming, and seamlessly switch between weapons and tools makes this input method a compelling option for those seeking a traditional yet effective way to guide Lara Croft through her perilous adventures.
Xbox One Controller
The Xbox One controller stands as a prominent choice for PC gamers venturing into the world of "Rise of the Tomb Raider." Its ergonomic design, familiar button layout, and seamless integration with Windows-based systems make it a compelling option for those seeking a gamepad experience. With its responsive analog sticks, tactile triggers, and comfortable grip, the Xbox One controller offers a balance of precision and comfort, ideal for navigating the perilous landscapes and engaging in intense combat encounters within the game.
One of the key advantages of the Xbox One controller is its native compatibility with Windows 10, ensuring effortless setup and plug-and-play functionality for "Rise of the Tomb Raider" and a wide array of PC games. The controller’s seamless integration with the game’s mechanics allows players to intuitively control Lara Croft’s movements, aim with precision, and execute complex maneuvers with ease. The ergonomic design also contributes to extended gaming comfort, reducing the risk of hand fatigue during prolonged play sessions.
Furthermore, the Xbox One controller offers customization options through the Xbox Accessories app, allowing players to remap buttons, adjust trigger sensitivity, and create personalized profiles to suit their preferences. This level of customization empowers gamers to tailor the controller’s behavior to align with their play style, enhancing the overall gaming experience and providing a sense of control over their interactions within the game.
While the Xbox One controller delivers a compelling gamepad experience for "Rise of the Tomb Raider," some players may find the absence of gyroscopic aiming, a feature present in other controllers, as a potential limitation. Additionally, the reliance on disposable or rechargeable batteries for power may be a consideration for those accustomed to controllers with built-in rechargeable batteries.
Despite these considerations, the Xbox One controller remains a popular choice for PC gaming enthusiasts, offering a seamless and immersive way to experience "Rise of the Tomb Raider." Its ergonomic design, native compatibility with Windows 10, and customizable features make it a compelling companion for those embarking on Lara Croft’s daring expedition.
PlayStation DualShock 4 Controller
The PlayStation DualShock 4 controller presents an intriguing option for PC gamers seeking a versatile and feature-rich gamepad experience with "Rise of the Tomb Raider." With its ergonomic design, responsive analog sticks, and integrated touchpad, the DualShock 4 offers a compelling blend of comfort and functionality. The controller’s familiar button layout and compatibility with Windows-based systems make it an appealing choice for players looking to immerse themselves in Lara Croft’s latest adventure.
One of the standout features of the DualShock 4 is its integrated touchpad, which adds a layer of interactivity and control options for gamers. In "Rise of the Tomb Raider," the touchpad can be utilized for intuitive navigation of in-game menus, map interactions, and other contextual actions, enhancing the overall immersion and providing a seamless way to engage with the game’s mechanics.
Additionally, the DualShock 4’s gyroscope and accelerometer sensors enable precise motion controls and gyroscopic aiming, adding a new dimension to gameplay interactions. This feature allows players to fine-tune their aiming and perform subtle adjustments by leveraging the controller’s motion capabilities, contributing to a more immersive and dynamic gaming experience.
Furthermore, the DualShock 4 offers a range of customization options through third-party software, enabling players to remap buttons, adjust sensitivity settings, and create personalized profiles tailored to their preferences. This flexibility empowers gamers to optimize the controller’s behavior to align with their play style, enhancing their control over Lara Croft’s movements and actions within the game.
While the DualShock 4 boasts an array of compelling features, some players may encounter initial setup complexities when connecting the controller to a PC, particularly in configuring the touchpad and motion controls for optimal functionality. Additionally, the touchpad’s integration with PC games may vary, requiring additional configuration to fully leverage its capabilities within specific titles.
Despite these considerations, the PlayStation DualShock 4 controller offers a feature-rich and immersive gamepad experience for "Rise of the Tomb Raider," providing players with a blend of comfort, functionality, and innovative features that enhance their journey alongside Lara Croft.
Steam Controller
The Steam Controller, designed specifically for PC gaming, offers a unique and innovative input method for players venturing into the world of "Rise of the Tomb Raider." With its touch-sensitive trackpads, customizable controls, and extensive configurability, the Steam Controller provides a distinct approach to gamepad interaction, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional gamepads and the precision of keyboard and mouse input.
One of the defining features of the Steam Controller is its dual trackpads, which serve as versatile input surfaces capable of replicating the precision of a mouse while offering the comfort and ergonomics of a gamepad. This design allows for customizable trackpad sensitivity, enabling players to fine-tune their aiming and movement controls to suit their preferences, providing a level of precision traditionally associated with mouse input.
Furthermore, the Steam Controller’s extensive configurability through the Steam software allows players to create personalized control schemes, adjust sensitivity settings, and map controls to their liking. This level of customization empowers gamers to tailor their input method to align with their play style, offering a degree of flexibility and control not commonly found in traditional gamepads.
Additionally, the integration of gyroscopic aiming within the Steam Controller introduces a dynamic element to gameplay interactions. By leveraging the controller’s motion sensors, players can perform subtle adjustments and fine-tune their aiming by physically moving the controller, adding a layer of immersion and precision to their combat and exploration experiences in "Rise of the Tomb Raider."
While the Steam Controller presents a compelling and innovative approach to gamepad interaction, some players may encounter a learning curve when adapting to the unique input method, particularly in mastering the trackpad-based controls and configuring the controller to their preferences. Additionally, the absence of traditional analog sticks may require an adjustment period for players accustomed to conventional gamepad designs.
Despite these considerations, the Steam Controller offers a distinct and customizable gamepad experience for PC gamers, aiming to provide the precision of keyboard and mouse input while retaining the comfort and familiarity of a traditional gamepad. Its innovative features and extensive configurability make it a compelling choice for those seeking a fresh and adaptable input method for their journey alongside Lara Croft.
Other PC Game Controllers
Beyond the well-known Xbox One, PlayStation DualShock 4, and Steam Controllers, the realm of PC gaming offers a diverse array of alternative gamepads that cater to different play styles and preferences. These controllers, while less ubiquitous, provide unique features and design elements that may resonate with certain players seeking a tailored gaming experience with "Rise of the Tomb Raider."
One notable contender in the realm of PC game controllers is the Razer Wolverine Ultimate, renowned for its customizable buttons, responsive triggers, and ergonomic design. This controller offers extensive remapping options and interchangeable thumbsticks, empowering players to adapt the controller to their specific gaming needs and preferences. The Razer Wolverine Ultimate’s tactile feedback and customizable features make it a compelling choice for those seeking a high degree of control and personalization.

It's been a long time since Windows tablets have been a thing. Today, Windows tablets really aren't meant to be used as standalone devices like iPads or Android tablets. They're meant to be connected to a detachable keyboard as a 2-in-1 laptop, not necessarily just as a touch device.
That being said, there are still a few good options, including the latest development in Windows tablets, which include devices with foldable screens.
Microsoft Surface Pro 9
The best premium Windows tablet
- New colors look great
- Design and build quality are top notch
- SQ3 is a solid alternative
- Type Cover keyboard is excellent
- High resolution webcam
- No headphone jack
- Upgrades still too expensive
- Limited performance improvements
If there's one company keeping the Windows tablet ecosystem around, it's Microsoft. The Surface Pro 9 is the latest in the line, despite having come out in 2022 and using an older Intel processor. The good news is it has all the premium goodness that the Surface Pro has always exuded. The display, design, and build quality are all top notch — as is the excellent Type Cover keyboard.
The one change I didn't love in this version is the lack of a headphone jack. Not everyone needs a headphone jack, and perhaps it's understandable on something that's considered a mobile device. But it should be mentioned, as it's likely to be an inconvenience for some.
While we await the Surface Pro 10, hopefully coming early in 2024, the Surface Pro 9 remains one of the best Windows tablets you can buy.
Asus ROG Flow Z13
The best Windows gaming tablet
- Bright, beautiful screen
- Amazing portability
- Ingenious design
- Surprisingly good performance
- Comfortable keyboard and touchpad
- Poor battery life
- Dorky aesthetic
- Mediocre webcam, no Windows Hello
The idea of a Windows gaming tablet might sound silly on the surface. But with the ROG Flow Z13, Asus took the concept totally seriously and came up with something incredibly innovative. It's a 2-in-1, just like a Surface Pro, but this one has a discrete RTX 4060 graphics card inside, ensuring that it can actually game. Throw in a bright, 165Hz screen and a surprisingly comfortable keyboard — and you have the complete package.
One of the most interesting benefits of this design is not only its portability, but also the thermals. Because the guts of the computer is built into screen, the keyboard doesn't get hot like normal gaming laptops do. No sweaty palm rests or vents blowing hot air by your hands.
HP Spectre Foldable PC
The best foldable Windows tablet
- Exquisite design
- Solid build quality
- Excellent foldable OLED display
- Great keyboard
- Plenty of usable formats
- Above-average battery life
- Extremely expensive
- Tablet mode is overly large
- Clamshell display resolution is relatively low
Here is our first example of a Windows tablet with a foldable screen, and the latest and most refined iteration of the form factor. It's a large 17-inch tablet that can be folded in half and used in a variety of different modes. You can use it as a tablet, a laptop — or my favorite, in "desktop" mode, where you can use the large screen with the wireless keyboard detached.
HP has really nailed the design this time around, taking the ThinkPad X1 Fold and Zenbook Fold one step further, while also delivering some solid performance to back it up. If only it wasn't so expensive, the Spectre Foldable would be the premiere example of Windows foldable tablet.
Microsoft Surface Go 3
The best budget Windows tablet
- Excellent build quality
- Superior display for a budget machine
- Great Active Pen support
- Small and light
- Surprisingly good real-world performance
- Can get expensive
- Mediocre battery life
- Keyboard and touchpad are cramped
Microsoft is the only company still making a budget-friendly Windows tablet. This compact, 10.5-inch tablet takes what's great about the Surface Pro and shrinks it down. Despite having a cramped keyboard and touchpad, all the hardware here is surprisingly premium, whether that's the screen or the build quality — both punch above their weight for the price.
So, while you probably don't want to buy this and use it as a main work computer, as a student device or a secondary more casual device it's a solid option. In fact, when it comes to Windows tablets, it's really your only option.
Lenovo Yoga Book 9i
The best dual-screen Windows tablet
- Dual-display flexibility is actually useful
- Two superior OLED displays
- Origami stand works well
- Great external keyboard
- Solid and attractive build
- Outstanding pen support
- A few glitches
- A lot of components to carry around
- Battery life could be better
The Yoga Book 9i is a great example of how inventive and experimental Windows tablet designs are getting. This one attaches two OLED tablet together with a stiff hinge that can be leaned up against the foldable "origami" stand. That probably sounds like a lot to conceptualize, but in reality, it functions a lot like a foldable tablet, such as the HP Spectre Foldable. But with the Yoga Book 9i, there are even more modes available, made possible by the two separate screens.
The idea is to make it better at multitasking, whether that's side-by-side or stacked vertically. It's the kind of device that has to be seen to be believed, and a demonstration of the kind of innovation happening in the space.

An artificial intelligence trained on personal data covering the entire population of Denmark can predict people’s chances of dying more accurately than any existing model, even those used in the insurance industry. The researchers behind the technology say it could also have a positive impact in early prediction of social and health problems – but must be kept out of the hands of big business.
Sune Lehmann Jørgensen at the Technical University of Denmark and his colleagues used a rich dataset from Denmark that covers education, visits to doctors and hospitals, any resulting diagnoses, income and occupation for 6 million people from 2008 to 2020.
They converted this dataset into words that could be used to train a large language model, the same technology that powers AI apps such as ChatGPT. These models work by looking at a series of words and determining which word is statistically most likely to come next, based on vast amounts of examples. In a similar way, the researchers’ Life2vec model can look at a series of life events that form a person’s history and determine what is most likely to happen next.
In experiments, Life2vec was trained on all but the last four years of the data, which was held back for testing. The researchers took data on a group of people aged 35 to 65, half of whom died between 2016 and 2020, and asked Life2vec to predict which who lived and who died. It was 11 per cent more accurate than any existing AI model or the actuarial life tables used to price life insurance policies in the finance industry.
The model was also able to predict the results of a personality test in a subset of the population more accurately than AI models trained specifically to do the job.
Jørgensen believes that the model has consumed enough data that it is likely to be able to shed light on a wide range of health and social topics. This means it could be used to predict health issues and catch them early, or by governments to reduce inequality. But he stresses that it could also be used by companies in a harmful way.
“Clearly, our model should not be used by an insurance company, because the whole idea of insurance is that, by sharing the lack of knowledge of who is going to be the unlucky person struck by some incident, or death, or losing your backpack, we can kind of share this this burden,” says Jørgensen.
But technologies like this are already out there, he says. “They’re likely being used on us already by big tech companies that have tonnes of data about us, and they’re using it to make predictions about us.”
Matthew Edwards at the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, a professional body in the UK, says insurance companies are certainly interested in new predictive methods, but the bulk of decisions are made by a type of AI called generalised linear models, which are rudimentary compared with this research.
“If you look at what insurance companies have been doing for many, many tens or hundreds of years, it’s been taking what data they have and trying to predict life expectancy from that,” says Edwards. “But we’re deliberately conservative in aspects of adopting new methodology because if you’re writing a policy which might be in force for the next 20 or 30 years, then the last thing you want to make is a material mistake. Everything is open to change, but slow, because nobody wants to make a mistake.”

The PGA Tour believes it has made enough progress with the Saudi backers of LIV Golf to extend their negotiations into next year for a new commercial deal that would include a U.S. investment group and the European tour.
Commissioner Jay Monahan sent a memo to players on Sunday afternoon, just seven hours before the deadline to finalize the deal that was set in the June 6 framework agreement.
The PGA Tour board unanimously agreed three weeks ago to negotiate exclusively with Strategic Sports Group, a consortium of American-based professional sports teams owners led by Fenway Sports Group.
Monahan said the tour has made “meaningful progress” with SSG and provided the group with all the information it requested.
“As we move forward in our discussions, we are focused on the finalization of terms and drafts of necessary documents,” Monahan said.
Far more complicated are the negotiations with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, the financial supporters of the rival LIV Golf League which lured away Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka in 2022, and most recently Masters champion Jon Rahm earlier this month.
Monahan described conversations with PIF and the European tour as “active and productive.”
The framework agreement was to expire Dec. 31, though it included language that the deadline could be extended if all parties agreed. “We are working to extend our negotiations into next year based on the progress we have made to date,” Monahan said in his memo.
Monahan said the goal for 2024 was to reach agreements with SSG, PIF and the European tour to bring them in as minority co-investors in the for-profit PGA Tour Enterprises.
“These partnerships will allow us to unify, innovate and invest in the game for the benefit of players, fans and sponsors,” Monahan said.
Under the framework agreement, PIF Governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan would have a seat on the PGA Tour board. The agreement also included PGA Tour Enterprises doing an “objective, empirical-driven evaluation” of LIV and to determine if team golf can be integrated into the PGA Tour and European tour.
It also was to determine a “fair and objective” process for LIV players who might want to return to the PGA Tour or European tour, which is said to be a sticking point because of the players who turned down Saudi riches to remain on the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour season begins Thursday at The Sentry on Maui, the first of eight “signature” events with a $20 million purse and limited field. LIV Golf already has announced the bulk of its 2024 schedule and $20 million purses. It starts the first week of February.

It's never good, but I guess at least it wasn't the same knee...This is Chubb‘s second torn ACL. Not good.
Same knee?This is Chubb‘s second torn ACL. Not good.
So we need Dr.Strange as our next HC?"I mean, in hindsight, I would absolutely not have wanted him out there if I would've known that he was going to get hurt. ... It doesn't look very smart at all," he said. "The players wanted to go back in and play and finish the right way heading into next week. And I have the ability to tell them no on everything in this situation. There's plenty of decisions that I'll cross examine. ... The intention is always purposeful. And I made the call that the guys that went out there, they wanted to be out there.

Joe Philbin - “If I had a magic potion I’d use it”
Mike McDaniel - "I would like a time machine, for sure."
He said in his post-game presser that it's a little sore but he's fine.What’s the word on Tua?
I know he hurt his shoulder area?
Did he break anything?
Is he expected to miss time?
Even so, 2024 will be a waste of a year for him. And that contract…. That’s the risk when giving out these big dealsThey seem to heal faster lately. Maybe out until Oct?
It all feels very MCU w these quotes!So we need Dr.Strange as our next HC?

Xi Jinping’s New Year Address: Reiterates Commitment to Taiwan’s Reunification
In his New Year’s address, Chinese President Xi Jinping issued a resolute statement on the contentious issue of Taiwan, reiterating his commitment to the reunification of Taiwan with mainland China. The stance, echoing China’s longstanding policy, has rekindled tensions with the self-governed island and raised concerns across the globe, especially among nations that back Taiwan’s existing status or champion its independence.
Xi’s Reunification Conviction
President Xi emphasized the inevitability of reunification, calling for a ‘common sense of purpose’ among Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. This announcement comes ahead of Taiwan’s presidential and parliamentary elections slated for January 13, with the ruling party’s candidate, Lai Ching-te, leading the polls. Consequently, the relations between China and Taiwan have strained further, magnified by increased military pressure from China and the U.S. approving $300 million in military aid to Taiwan.
Implications of the Reunification Stance
The Chinese President’s address underscores the government’s unwavering objective to incorporate Taiwan, a democratic island it has vowed to bring into its fold, by force if necessary. The upcoming elections in Taiwan and the leading candidates’ positions on relations with Beijing are significant facets of this discourse. President Xi’s assertion of China’s ‘reunification’ with Taiwan being inevitable, and the concurrent military pressure from China to enforce its sovereignty claims, have heightened the stakes.
Response from Taiwan
Amid these fraught relations, Taiwan’s ruling Democratic Party (DPP) and the largest opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT), have underscored that Taiwan’s future lies solely in the hands of its people. Lai Ching-te, the DPP’s presidential candidate and current Vice President, has faced criticism from China for promoting separatism and obstructing exchanges across the strait. The statement by Lai that the Republic of China and People’s Republic of China ‘are not subordinate to each other’, has further exacerbated Beijing’s ire.
In conclusion, President Xi’s New Year’s address has struck a chord, fanning the flames of an already volatile situation. The reassertion of the ‘inevitability’ of reunification and the call for unity among ‘compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait’ have set the stage for an intriguing turn of events as Taiwan approaches its elections.

We'll have at least one more year of hearing about Mike Tomlin's streak.
For the 17th straight season, Tomlin will not have a losing record. The Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks 30-23 to move to 9-7, and more importantly than clinching another non-losing season for Tomlin, it kept Pittsburgh alive in the AFC wild-card race. Pittsburgh will need to win and get some help next week to get a wild-card spot, but they'll still be in the race going into the season finale. For the Seahawks, it drops them back to .500 and is a blow in their playoff hunt.
A two-game winning streak for the Steelers coincided with finally turning to Mason Rudolph at quarterback. The Steelers stuck with Rudolph despite Kenny Pickett being healthy enough to be listed as questionable on the injury report, which usually means a player will suit up. Pickett was inactive, Rudolph started and the Steelers continued to keep their season alive with a big win.
The Steelers were in a lot of trouble when they had a three-game losing streak in December. But a Tomlin-coached team wasn't going to fade away that easily.
Steelers pound Seattle in run game
The Steelers, who looked like they were ready to call it a season a couple weeks ago in a listless loss to the Indianapolis Colts, looked like a much different team in the first half Sunday. They rushed for 145 yards in the first half. The Fox broadcast said that was the most for Pittsburgh since a 2006 game against Kansas City. Their leading rushers that day were Willie Parker and Najeh Davenport.
Jaylen Warren got the scoring started for the Steelers with an 18-yard touchdown run. The Steelers led for most of the game after that. Najee Harris scored a couple of touchdowns, and the Steelers led 24-17 into the third quarter.
The game was still in the balance when the defense made a huge play. With seven minutes left and the Steelers leading 27-20, Geno Smith was strip-sacked by Nick Herbig. Pittsburgh recovered at the 16-yard line. The Steelers only got a field goal out of the ensuing drive, but a 10-point lead was significant at that point in the game.
Seahawks take a step back
For the Seahawks, a loss didn't eliminate them from the playoff race but it didn't help their chances. They moved back to 8-8 with the loss, which is fitting in what has been a mediocre season.
The defense let down in a big spot, against an offense that has struggled most of the season. The offense wasn't bad but there weren't a lot of game-changing explosive plays. The Steelers also crushed Seattle in time of possession.
The Seahawks tried to rally late. A drive deep into Steelers territory didn't result in a touchdown, and Seattle settled for a field goal just before the two-minute warning. They tried an onside kick trailing 27-20 but Pittsburgh recovered. A reception to Pickens for a first down and a Harris run for another first down ended the game.
The Steelers still need a lot to go right to make the playoffs. But they're alive, and it looked like there was no chance of that happening a couple weeks ago.

When you encounter a sudden loss of volume after plugging in a game controller into your PC, several factors could contribute to this disruptive issue. Understanding the potential causes can help you identify the source of the problem and implement targeted solutions. Here are the likely reasons behind the volume cutting out when connecting a game controller to your PC:
- Driver Compatibility: In some cases, the audio driver on your PC may not be fully compatible with the game controller, leading to conflicts that result in the sudden loss of volume. This can occur when the controller’s driver interferes with the audio driver, causing disruptions in the sound output.
- USB Port Interference: The USB port to which the game controller is connected may experience interference or power fluctuations, affecting the audio output. Insufficient power supply or unstable connections in the USB port can lead to disruptions in the volume output, impacting your gaming experience.
- Audio Settings: Incorrect audio settings or misconfigurations in the sound control panel of your PC can also contribute to the volume cutting out issue. Mismatched audio configurations or conflicting settings may disrupt the sound output when the game controller is connected.
- Controller Driver Issues: The driver software for the game controller may encounter conflicts or errors, causing disruptions in the audio output. Outdated or corrupted controller drivers can interfere with the sound drivers, leading to sudden volume cut-outs during gaming sessions.
- Hardware Compatibility: Certain game controllers may have compatibility issues with specific hardware configurations, resulting in audio disruptions when connected to the PC. Incompatibility between the controller and your PC’s hardware components can lead to unexpected volume cut-outs.
By recognizing these potential causes, you can effectively troubleshoot the volume cutting out problem and implement targeted solutions to restore seamless audio output when using a game controller with your PC.

- Use Different USB Ports: Test the game controller on different USB ports to identify if a specific port is experiencing interference or power fluctuations. Utilizing a stable and reliable USB port can help mitigate disruptions in the audio output when the controller is connected.
- Adjust Audio Settings: Access the sound control panel on your PC and verify the audio settings to ensure they are configured correctly. Adjust the audio output settings to match the requirements of the game controller, resolving any conflicts that may be causing the volume to cut out unexpectedly.
- Check Controller Compatibility: Verify the compatibility of the game controller with your PC’s hardware specifications. If compatibility issues persist, consider using a different controller that is fully compatible with your system to prevent audio disruptions during gaming sessions.
- Utilize External Sound Devices: If the volume cutting out problem persists, consider using external sound devices, such as USB audio interfaces or sound cards, to bypass potential conflicts and ensure consistent audio output when using a game controller with your PC.
By implementing these targeted solutions, you can effectively address the volume cutting out issue when connecting a game controller to your PC, ensuring a seamless and immersive gaming experience without interruptions in audio output.

Jackson completed 18 of 21 passes for 321 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions and added six rushes for 35 yards in the Ravens' 56-19 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Jackson's numbers, which netted a perfect 158.3 QB rating, essentially tell the tale of what type of afternoon it was for him and the Ravens as a whole. The one-time league MVP continued making an airtight case for another run at the honors with his spectacular performance, which was punctuated by touchdown tosses of 20 yards to Justice Hill, 75 yards to Zay Flowers, 35 yards and seven yards to Isaiah Likely and four yards to Patrick Ricard. Jackson now has an 11:2 TD:INT over his last four games, sample in which he's eclipsed the 300-yard mark twice. With the AFC's No. 1 seed now in hand, it remains to be seen if Jackson sees any action in the Week 18 finale against the Steelers.

The 2024 Vrbo Fiesta Bowl kicks off New Year’s Six play in 2024 with a game between the No. 23 Liberty Flames (13-0) and No. 8 Oregon Ducks (11-2). The game kicks off at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on January 1, 2024. The trio of Bob Wischusen, Robert Griffin III, and Kris Budden will be on commentary for ESPN at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
Led by first-year coach Jamey Chadwell, Liberty is having one of the best seasons in school history. Liberty defeated New Mexico State in the Conference USA championship to cap off a perfect regular season. On the Oregon side, the Ducks had a terrific year with an 11-1 regular season. However, Oregon fell to the Washington Huskies for the second time this season in the Pac-12 Championship, ending their hope for a berth in the College Football Playoff.
This will be the first-ever meeting between Liberty and Oregon. Liberty is looking for their first New Year’s Six win, while Oregon will try to win their biggest bowl game since the 2020 Rose Bowl Game. Tune in on Monday to watch the Fiesta Bowl on ESPN. Without cable, there are various ways to watch ESPN. One solution is a streaming television service called Sling TV. What is it? Scroll below for more information.
Watch the 2023 Cotton Bowl live stream on Sling TV
The website states that Sling TV is a “better way to stream live TV.” Why is that? For starters, Sling TV provides users with the channels due to a flexible lineup of news, sports, and entertainment. No more paying for extra channels you don’t want. Subscribers can record and save live TV episodes with Sling’s cloud DVR. There are no long-term contracts, and customers can change their plans anytime.
Sling TV offers two affordable plans to customers. At $40 per month, Sling Orange contains 30-plus channels, including ESPN, Disney Channel, Freeform, TBS, and TNT. The other plan is Sling Blue, which costs $45 per month. Sling Blue features 40-plus channels, including ABC, Fox, NBC, USA, and MSNBC. Customers can purchase both packages for one price of $60 per month. Whatever plan you choose will be $10 off for the first month.
Watch the 2023 Cotton Bowl live stream from abroad with a VPN
New Year’s Day is one of the biggest days for college football, and all eyes will be on ESPN. Oregon is over a two-touchdown favorite on FanDuel, but upsets can happen, especially in bowl games. If you are traveling outside of the U.S. for the holiday, it could be challenging to stream the game because of regional broadcast restrictions and programs in different languages.

UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio, Dec. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Columbus Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery (“CAPS”) determined on December 22, 2023 that a recent data security incident may have impacted information belonging to certain patients.
On September 22, 2023, CAPS identified suspicious activity within its network environment, and promptly took steps to secure the environment and launch an investigation with the support of external cybersecurity experts to learn more about the scope of the incident and any impact to data. Through that investigation, CAPS learned of information suggesting that an unknown actor gained unauthorized access to a limited portion of the CAPS network and potentially acquired certain files; however, there was no evidence of any access to CAPS’s Electronic Medical Records system. On December 22, 2023, CAPS determined that certain patient information may have been affected.
CAPS is informing individuals about this incident and encourages individuals to consider the following Steps You Can Take to Help Protect Personal Information. The potentially affected information may vary by individual, and could include name, Social Security number, driver’s license, state, or government identification number, date of birth, financial account information, medical or health information, health care treatment or diagnostic information, health insurance information, and payment for services. CAPS will provide written notification via U.S. mail to the impacted individuals. Taking this matter with extreme caution, CAPS also notified the FBI and Department of Health and Human Services.
CAPS has established a toll-free call center to answer questions about the incident and to address related concerns. Call center representatives are available Monday through Friday between 9am – 9pm CT and can be reached at (888) 466-1995. Additional information about recommendations for protecting personal information are available below and by calling (888) 466-1995.
STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO HELP PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
Review Your Account Statements and Notify Law Enforcement of Suspicious Activity: As a precautionary measure, we recommend that you remain vigilant by reviewing your account statements and credit reports closely. If you detect any suspicious activity on an account, you should promptly notify the financial institution or company with which the account is maintained. You also should promptly report any fraudulent activity or any suspected incidence of identity theft to proper law enforcement authorities, your state attorney general, and/or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Copy of Credit Report: You may obtain a free copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit reporting agencies once every 12 months by visiting http://www.annualcreditreport.com/, calling toll-free 1-877-322-8228, or by completing an Annual Credit Report Request Form and mailing it to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348. You also can contact one of the following three national credit reporting agencies:
Fraud Alert: You may want to consider placing a fraud alert on your credit report. An initial fraud alert is free and will stay on your credit file for at least one year. The alert informs creditors of possible fraudulent activity within your report and requests that the creditor contact you prior to establishing any accounts in your name. To place a fraud alert on your credit report, contact any of the three credit reporting agencies identified above. Additional information is available at http://www.annualcreditreport.com.
Security Freeze: You have the right to put a security freeze on your credit file for up to one year at no cost. This will prevent new credit from being opened in your name without the use of a PIN number that is issued to you when you initiate the freeze. A security freeze is designed to prevent potential creditors from accessing your credit report without your consent. As a result, using a security freeze may interfere with or delay your ability to obtain credit. You must separately place a security freeze on your credit file with each credit reporting agency. In order to place a security freeze, you may be required to provide the consumer reporting agency with information that identifies you including your full name, Social Security number, date of birth, current and previous addresses, a copy of your state-issued identification card, and a recent utility bill, bank statement or insurance statement.
Additional Free Resources: You can obtain information from the consumer reporting agencies, the FTC, or from your respective state Attorney General about fraud alerts, security freezes, and steps you can take toward preventing identity theft. You may report suspected identity theft to local law enforcement, including to the FTC or to the Attorney General in your state.
You also have certain rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA): These rights include to know what is in your file; to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information; to have consumer reporting agencies correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information; as well as other rights. For more information about the FCRA, and your rights pursuant to the FCRA, please visit https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/pdf-0096-fair-credit-reporting-act.pdf

The Archbishop of Canterbury called for a peaceful 2024 in his New Year message and asked people to “stand with those suffering because of war and to seek to make peace”.
“Wars seem everywhere at the moment,” the Most Rev Justin Welby said during his annual start-of-the-year address.
“Wars we know about, wars forgotten," he said, speaking from RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
“I’ve seen for myself the ongoing human cost of war.
“In Ukraine I went to Bucha where evidence of atrocities was found.
“I’ve met Ukrainian refugees, most recently in Georgia and Romania: Families having to start again in a new country.
“I’ve met refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh (a territory disputed between Azerbaijan and Armenia) after they left their homes because of conflict.
“And in Jerusalem last October I sat and listened to some of those traumatised by war, Palestinian and Israeli.
“Jesus Christ tells us to stand with those suffering because of war, and to seek to make peace.”
It came after Russia launched a fresh drone assault on Ukraine on Saturday night, hitting the capital, Kyiv, and border city Kharkiv after promising that strikes on the Russian border city of Belgorod hours earlier, which killed 24 people, would “not go unpunished”.
The health ministry in Gaza said on Saturday that another 165 people were killed in the previous 24 hours.
In his address, the archbishop also praised the armed forces as he said they embody the theme of King Charles’s coronation last year.
He said soldiers were at the centre of the celebrations not “just because the world marvelled at their displays of pageantry” but because they, “like many, many others in the country”, embodied service.
“Here at RAF Brize Norton, almost 6,000 service personnel are living out that oath every day, working to keep us safe and the country secure, delivering humanitarian aid following natural disasters, like the earthquake in Turkey last year, or supporting civilians in the midst of conflict in places like the Middle East," he added.
“We’re learning more and more how the horrors and traumas of war impact service personnel, sometimes long after.
“But there are also traumas for their loved ones.
“Families across the country feel the absence of relatives and those they love who are serving their country abroad.
“We fear for those of our fellow citizens who risk their lives defending and protecting the vulnerable and ensuring security.”
– The Archbishop of Canterbury’s New Year Message will be broadcast on BBC1 and iPlayer at 12.55pm on Monday January 1.

The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, inaugurated this Friday the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (CIIT) train, one of the last emblematic works of his Government and with which he hopes to unite the Pacific Ocean with the Atlantic to compete commercially. with the Panama Canal.
The work will connect the ports of Salina Cruz (Oaxaca, Pacific) with Coatzacoalcos (Veracruz, Atlantic), in a strip of 303 kilometers that will also have two deep-sea ports, cargo trains, highways, three airports in Minatitlán (Veracruz) and Ixtepec and Huatulco (Oaxaca), as well as a gas pipeline and a fiber optic network.
With this new communication route, the first line of three of the Interoceanic Train, Mexico seeks to boost international trade by linking Asia with the east coast of the United States and Europe through that passage, the narrowest point in the country.
A new commercial option
«Panama is already saturated and we do not want to compete with our Panamanian brothers, we know what it cost them to recover their sovereignty (over the Canal). “It is not about competing with a brother town,” argued López Obrador during the launch of the passenger railway, which has nine stations.
In addition to linking the Pacific with the Atlantic and exploiting the passage commercially, López Obrador intends to build an international trade logistics platform with 10 industrial parks – of about 300 hectares each – and 12 development poles, which will encourage companies to arrive, assemblers and jobs.
Already agreements with Asian countries
In his morning conference in Salina Cruz, the president reported that there are already agreements with Asian countries to use the CIIT. He added that during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC), in mid-November in San Francisco, he spoke about the project and assured that the Asian countries present showed interest in the project given the saturation of the Panama Canal.
«It’s about there being other options. Trade has grown a lot in Asia, the Pacific ports, for example Manzanillo (in Colima), are the ones that move the most containers due to the growth of Asia and there are unbeatable conditions to achieve this,” he noted.
Furthermore, he indicated that the area of influence of this work covers 115 municipalities and 9,418 communities, recalling that the development poles are four in Veracruz, six in Oaxaca and two in Chiapas.
As with the Mayan Train, inaugurated a week ago in the southeast of the country, the president highlighted that the Interoceanic Corridor represents the return of passenger and freight railways after their privatization in the 1990s.
In his conference, López Obrador said that the CIIT “is a very ambitious area with other purposes.” “And we want to maintain our sovereignty and that is why Mexican companies are the ones that will manage ports and will be in charge of the development poles,” he added.
Although he specified that there will be exceptions, such as “a Danish company (Copenhagen Infrastructure Fund) that is committing an investment of around 10 billion dollars to produce green hydrogen, which is a non-polluting fuel.” In the previous tests, the train route, which will be in charge of the Secretary of the Navy, lasted 6:20 hours.
At the inauguration, López Obrador was accompanied by the heads of the Secretariat of Economy, Raquel Buenrostro; Navy, Rafael Ojeda, and the National Defense, Luis Cresencio Sandoval, in addition to the governors of Oaxaca and Veracruz, Salomón Jara and Cuitláhuac García. The magnate Carlos Slim was also present, as a representative of the Developer of the Istmo of Tehuantepec
First of three lines
Although only line Z started this Friday, from Salina Cruz to Coatzacoalcos, the director of the project, Admiral Raymundo Morales, explained in the president’s conference that the FA line from Coatzacoalcos to Palenque (Chiapas) has a progress of 41% and will begin operations in June 2024.
While line K, from Ciudad Ixtepec (Oaxaca) to Ciudad Hidalgo (Chiapas), on the border with Guatemala, will enter into operation in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Morales specified that the project involves the rehabilitation of a total of 1,197 kilometers of railway tracks on the three lines.
According to data and estimates, through the cargo train Mexico will have the capacity to transport 1.4 million containers annually from port to port, which will help the development of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, a region with little growth and historically forgotten, in addition to promoting the country’s economy.

This inclusion underscores the significance of political legacies and the enduring impact of family dynamics on public perception.
Family Divisions and Political Legacy
Kennedy Jr.’s siblings emphasized that while he shares their father’s name, he does not embody the same values, vision, or judgment that their father, Robert F. Kennedy, represented. This denouncement reflects the complexity and division within influential families and the differing perspectives on political pursuits.
A Reflection of the Zeitgeist
The selection of quotations is not solely based on eloquence or admiration, but rather their fame, importance, or their capacity to reveal the spirit of the times. The list spans a wide range of quotes, from political remarks to lines from blockbuster movies, indicating the vast spectrum of societal discourse and the profound impact of language on shaping public opinion and historical records.
More than Words
The diverse compilation includes statements from various contexts, underscoring the list’s aim to provoke thought and reflection on the year’s most impactful words. The list’s curator, Fred Shapiro, emphasizes that the selected quotes are not endorsements of the sentiments expressed, but chosen for their ability to encapsulate the societal discourse and the power of language in shaping historical narratives.
Contemporary Discourse in a Nutshell
The list reflects the evolving nature of societal conversations, including quotes that address issues from political leadership to existential contemplations. This comprehensive reflection of the multifaceted nature of contemporary discourse serves as a lens to examine the intricacies of public dialogue, providing valuable insights into the dynamics of power, influence, and societal reflection.

SEATTLE — (AP) — Najee Harris rushed for a season-high 122 yards and bullied his way into the end zone for a pair of touchdowns, and the Pittsburgh Steelers kept their playoff hopes alive into Week 18 with a 30-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Using a punishing running attack that faced little resistance from Seattle, the Steelers (9-7) pushed their way into the final week of the regular season with a chance at the postseason and ensured that Mike Tomlin’s team would yet again avoid a losing record.
Harris had not hit the century mark rushing this season, his closest coming when he ran for 99 yards against Cincinnati. But he combined with Jaylen Warren for a running punch that Seattle struggled to stop.
Harris averaged 4.5 yards per carry and reached the 100-yard mark for the first time since Week 17 of last season against Baltimore. Warren added another 75 yards rushing and scored on a 18-yard run in the first quarter.
Harris scored on a 9-yard touchdown run in the second quarter breaking several tackles on his way to the goal line before a final lunge to break the plane. In the third quarter, Harris scored on a 4-yard run with a big assist from his linemen pushing the pile into the end zone to give the Steelers a 24-17 lead.
Pittsburgh thrived against Seattle’s run defense that has been awful for more than half the season and finished with 202 yards rushing and a season-high 468 total yards. Pittsburgh was the sixth straight opponent to rush for at least 135 yards against the Seahawks.
Quarterback Mason Rudolph was 18 of 24 for 274 yards and hit the big throws when needed, none more important than a 34-yard completion to George Pickens on third-and-6 early in the fourth quarter. Pickens made a terrific diving finger-tip catch and led to Chris Boswell's 26-yard field goal that gave the Steelers a 27-20 lead with 7:07 left.
Rudolph also hit Pickens for 24 yards with two minutes left and Seattle desperately needing a stop. Pickens had seven catches for 131 yards.
Seattle (8-8) had its two-game win streak snapped and while the Seahawks weren’t eliminated from the postseason, they will need a victory and a lot of help in Week 18.
Geno Smith threw for 290 yards and a 12-yard TD to Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first half. Kenneth Walker III added 53 yards rushing and a 13-yard TD in the first half, but the Seahawks settled for three field goals in the second half and Smith committed one big turnover.
Nick Herbig forced and recovered a fumble sacking Smith with seven minutes left, giving the Steelers possession at the Seattle 16 and Boswell’s 21-yard field goal with 4:31 left pushed the Pittsburgh lead to 30-20.
INJURIES
Seattle took two major hits to its offensive line. Starting right tackle Abe Lucas played the entire first half, but went to the locker room early before the second quarter ended and was ruled out with a knee injury when the second half started.
Three plays into the third quarter, center Evan Brown had to be helped off the field and was ruled out with a concussion.
UP NEXT
Steelers: Pittsburgh will be at Baltimore in Week 18.
Seahawks: Seattle closes out the regular season at Arizona next week.

It's not often that a team can win twice on the same day, but the Bears pulled it off Sunday. As Chicago polished off the Atlanta Falcons, the Carolina Panthers lost yet again, and the Cardinals upset the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Panthers' loss and Cardinals' win mean that Carolina clinches the worst record in the NFL ... but because the Panthers' 2024 No. 1 draft pick belongs to Chicago, thanks to last offseason's deal to put Bryce Young in Carolina, the Bears are once again at the top of the draft.
Here is the top 10 of the NFL Draft:
1. Chicago Bears (via Carolina Panthers) 2. Washington Commanders 3. New England Patriots 4. Arizona Cardinals 5. New York Giants 6. Los Angeles Chargers 7. Tennessee Titans 8. New York Jets 9. Atlanta Falcons 10. Chicago Bears
Further down the draft, Washington's seventh straight loss puts them, at the moment, in a statistical dead heat with the New England Patriots, according to Tankathon. Both teams, along with the Cardinals, are 4-12, but the Commanders and Patriots have equal strength-of-schedule ratings. Next week's games will break that tie, as Washington plays the Cowboys and New England plays the Jets. Arizona's win has, at the moment, dropped the Cardinals from the No. 2 spot to fourth.
Down the line, the Giants and Titans are both at 5-11, with the Giants holding a slight edge because of strength of schedule. The Chargers are also at five wins, pending the outcome of their game against Denver. The Jets (6-11) are currently in the No. 8 spot, while the Falcons, Bears and Raiders are all in a statistical and strength-of-schedule dead heat at 7-9.
Yahoo Sports' Nate Tice projects that the Bears will select North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye with the No. 1 pick, moving on from Justin Fields. "Maye is the complete package at quarterback," Tice writes. "His ability to throw or run for explosive plays, within and outside the confines of the position, all while avoiding an overwhelming amount of negative plays, are the prerequisites for elite modern QB play."
The Bears can officially start to plan — and Bears fans can start to dream — about what to do with that No. 1 pick.

Beckham caught one pass for 33 yards on one target in Sunday's 56-19 win over the Dolphins.
Like most weeks, Beckham was in and out of the lineup while appearing nicked up at times, but his one catch was a major contribution while the game was still competitive. It's possible Beckham would have played more in the second half if the game had been closer. Beckham remains the top downfield threat for the Ravens, but his inconsistent availability makes it difficult to scale up his otherwise explosive per-snap production.

London told the world the city is “A Place for Everyone” as thousands of revellers started 2024 with fireworks and drones that lit up the sky over the capital.
“London: A Place for Everyone” was written high above the crowds after the bongs of Big Ben sounded midnight.
The display, a mix of fireworks, drones and narration, marked the king’s coronation year and also used King Charles’ quote to mark the 75th anniversary of the Windrush crossing in which he said the new arrivals “collectively enrich the fabric of our national life”.
New Year’s celebrations across UAE - in pictures
There were repeated references to London’s diversity and inclusivity, with the capital telling the world everyone is welcome in a city where people can be themselves.
The show, designed by the Cambridgeshire-based pyrotechnics firm Titanium Fireworks, boasted more than 12,000 fireworks.
Revellers also gathered for Edinburgh’s Hogmanay firework display as musicians hyped the crowd up for an evening of entertainment.
Thousands of people attended a sold out Princes Garden Street Party and Concert in the Gardens in what marked the festival's 30th anniversary.
The event, organised by UniqueAssembly and City of Edinburgh Council, was headlined by Pulp, who have not played in the city in 20 years.
Following their set, the fireworks began at midnight and ended at around 00.50am on Monday.

Year in Review: High-Profile Departures, Firings, and Resignations of 2023
As the curtain drops on 2023, an undercurrent of change has swept across multiple sectors, from politics and academia to entertainment and technology. The year bore witness to a series of high-profile departures, firings, and resignations, leaving a trail of shock, controversy, and legal disputes.
Big Shake-ups in the Media Landscape
Among the significant changes, Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News and Don Lemon’s firing from CNN stand out. Carlson’s exit followed a discrimination lawsuit and mounting scrutiny over a settlement tied to election misinformation. Lemon, on the other hand, was let go following remarks deemed offensive.
Political Upheavals
Political arenas also experienced major shifts. Kevin McCarthy lost his position as the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives due to dwindling support from his party. The British Royal Family took a monumental step by removing the HRH titles from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s website profiles, marking the end of their royal duties.
Turmoil in the Tech Industry
The tech world also saw significant upheaval with Sam Altman’s brief firing and subsequent rehiring as CEO of OpenAI, the mastermind behind ChatGPT. The decision came amid internal disagreements over the company’s future direction.
Other Noteworthy Changes
Other notable shifts included the replacement of Donald Trump’s lead defense attorney in a Georgia case and the firing of CNN’s CEO Chris Licht following a decline in network ratings and internal dissension. In academia, the Loudoun County public school district in Northern Virginia had its fair share of controversies over its handling of sexual assaults, equity plans, and pronouns. The county’s new superintendent, Aaron Spence, is now tasked with rebuilding trust and transparency in the community.
