In a video shared across social media on Saturday, wide receiver Doug Baldwin said the players will stand together with their arms interlocked for the national anthem on the 15th anniversary of 9/11. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the players will assemble, alternating black and white players, along the line. They discussed kneeling together with their hand over their heart, but some players, objected, according to NFL.com. “We are a team comprised of individuals with diverse backgrounds,” Baldwin said in the video....

With WinApps, you can easily manage and run Windows software on Linux, and even integrate it into your system and context menus. Why Run Windows Software on Linux? Open-source software is great, but not everybody thinks so. In business, Microsoft Office is the dominant paradigm, having made its first appearance in 1990, a year prior to the first Linux kernel release. No matter how much you love LibreOffice, sometimes, you just need to use what everyone else is using....

Hannity decried reports that the song could become a feature at games in the 2021 league, claiming, without evidence, that it was the result of efforts by the Democrats to “DESTROY FUN.” “Why do the Dems have to inject politics into sports? The NFL is playing the ‘Black national anthem’ & the Olympic committee is redesigning its flag logo,” he wrote. “We already have a flag & an anthem!”...

Spicer claimed that his old boss had been “on fire” and described the president’s briefing as “one of his best” in an appearance on Fox News last night. The Trump appointee also accused media outlets of cutting away from the commander-in-chief’s briefing because they didn’t want their viewers to see the truth. At the White House coronavirus conference yesterday, Trump aired a campaign-style video accusing the media of “minimizing” the risk posed by COVID-19....

More specifically, how quickly Coker can get into an Alabama uniform? Because if Nick Saban misses out on Coker again, this blip of a two-game losing streak by the Tide to finish the 2013 season may bleed into 2014. And beyond. Look back at the legendary runs over the BCS era: Every one that thrived eventually fell apart because of the lack of an elite quarterback. UPDATE: Coker visits Alabama...

Google has announced via Workspace Updates that it’s begun updating the Gmail app on Android, adding “chips” to aid with searches. For example, you’ll be able to do things like narrow results by name or a specific date. According to the announcement, “Search filters can be used independently or post-search, helping you choose filtering options from rich drop-down lists.” “Chips” are those little pull-down menus that you can use to adjust search criteria and, hopefully, make it simpler to find exactly what you’re looking for....

In the American-controlled zone a mile from the Baghdad airport, the vehicle whisking Sgrena away was sprinkled with machine-gun fire, wounding her and killing the Italian military-intel official who had secured her release. The incident was investigated by the American military and dismissed as an “accident,” but nevertheless classified as a “justified shooting.” Sgrena remains outraged. “It was not a checkpoint,” she insists. “They didn’t try to stop us, they just shot us....

However, in line with the game’s namesake, the world the player travels through with the people and places they will see will be gone by the journey’s end, as some unknown cataclysm awaits them when the season ends. The game’s premise hinges then on the player’s choice and agency, deciding who or what is worth preserving in their journal before the season is over, with a mysterious story to explore and uncover....

Reddit user u/freudian_nipps posted the video, which appears to have first gone viral in 2016, on the forum “The Depths Below.” There, it amassed more than 11,000 votes since Monday. “An Octopus riding an Eel to avoid being eaten,” read the title of the post. The initial video indicated that the eel was a moray eel, a species that primarily feed at night on fish, crab, shrimp, octopuses and squid, per The National Aquarium....

Following a rather disturbing start to the season, the Eagles appear to have turned a corner, having gone six games on the spin without a defeat. “I think we went back to basics and I am a great fan of doing that because I think we began complicating things earlier in the season," Schlupp said, as reported by his club’s official website. “But since the new management team have come in, we have really gone back to playing well and now we just need to turn the performances into positive results and getting three points....

On January 25, the district passed a resolution deciding that they would turn to the H-1B Specialty Occupations visa process to legally fill their empty positions with immigrant teachers. CCSD Superintendent Katrina McCombs told Newsweek that the school faces vacancies every year but that the pandemic has made the situation worse, particularly in the search for teaching positions that require foreign language experience. “We have challenges with our bilingual teacher positions and our ESL (English as a Second Language) positions....

Susan Kincannon, superintendent of the Waco Independent School District (ISD), told The Texas Tribune in a Monday story, “We’ve lost employees along the way. And it’s been very sad to watch. It’s not something I ever thought I would have to deal with as a superintendent. It’s been a long haul since this began.” As a result of the decision to keep its mandate in place, the Waco ISD is among about a dozen districts in Texas now facing a lawsuit for not following Abbott’s order....

The U.S. has seen COVID hospitalizations more than triple over the past month. It recorded 127,108 news COVID cases on Thursday, which was up from the 112,270 seen in the country on Wednesday. The country has now recorded a seven-day average of at least 100,000 new cases over the last week. The recent surge followed on from a period of fewer positive tests as COVID vaccinations were administered across the U....

John Alvarez was a science teacher at Piper High School in Sunrise, Florida. The vote to fire him by the School Board of Broward County on Tuesday was unanimous. Though Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ administration has banned school mask mandates, the school board had one in place anyway due to a large number of COVID-19 cases in the area. According to a Mayo Clinic COVID-19 map, Broward is one of the Florida counties more strongly affected by the virus, with about 235 of the state’s 2,070 average daily cases coming from the area....

The U.S.-based organization has worked for years to research bat viruses with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), which is based in the city where the first COVID cases were reported. Last week the National Institutes of Health (NIH) ordered EHA to hand over any unpublished coronavirus research data it held. The U.S. medical research agency accused EHA of failing to immediately report findings that showed how an engineered bat coronavirus made mice sicker than a normal version....

Using computer modeling and simulations of tremendous impacts, the team at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL), University of Arizona, found that Earth and Venus could have been formed when smaller planetary building blocks collided and stuck together. The research challenges the picture scientists have built of neat, round, distinct planets forming from a swirling cloud of rugged asteroids and mini planets. The model, which the team has dubbed the “hit, run, and return” scenario, provides a far messier and more complicated origin for some planets....

The first two episodes of the 10-part ESPN documentary “The Last Dance” dropped on Sunday night, and it had all corners of the sports world buzzing. The first episode laid the groundwork for the series, discussing some of the ins and outs of Jordan and those ’90s Bulls dynasty teams. The second episode, though, painted a picture of how badly those ’90s Bulls teams relied on Scottie Pippen. While there was never any doubt before the series aired that Pippen is the greatest No....

Canada’s sixth seed Brian Yang could be his quarter-final opponent while he is likely to face either third seed Pablo Abian or eighth seed Nhat Nguyen in the last-four stage. Second seed and World No. 55 Toby Penty could also pose a stiff challenge to the 41st-ranked Indian in the summit clash. Considering the fabulous win streak that Sen has built over the past few weeks, the 18-year-old looks primed to win yet another title....
