Last week Soufan (now retired) and other FBI veterans of the Cole case were outraged to learn that the Cole killer is now a free man. Three years ago Badawi was sentenced to death by a Yemeni court for his role in the bombing. He later escaped from a Yemeni prison with 22 cohorts—a breakout that U.S. officials suspected was an inside job. Then, mysteriously, in early October he turned himself in and pledged allegiance to the country’s president, Ali Abdullah Saleh....
Stein and Susser discovered that fetuses exposed to the famine early in gestation, when organs form, had an increased risk of central-nervous-system defects like spina bifida, in which the brain or spine is not fully developed. Other scientists found that a fetus starved early in development during the famine was at high risk for adult obesity. Two decades later, Stein and Susser’s son, Ezra Susser, went further. Now a pioneering epidemiologist at Columbia University, Susser examined psychiatric evaluations of adults who were Hunger Winter babies to study the theory that schizophrenia was the result of a defect in neural development....
As in Damn Tired … of each other. Which is what Jerry (not Tommy Lee) Jones, 51, and Jimmy (not Van) John son, 50, all but acknowledged last week with the stunning announcement that Johnson was resigning as coach of the two-time Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys. That is the team Jones owns and operates with an iron Will, not to mention brain, and a true Stein-wanna-be-brennerian activism. At least it looked like Jerry and Jimmy side by side in front of the Cowboys’ banner....
But last spring this potent mix of imported money and local talent exploded. A complex structure that gave Lauder control of the operating company and Zelezny control of the all-important broadcast license is now in shambles. In April a public company named CME–which holds Lauder’s TV interests in the region–fired Zelezny for alleged financial improprieties at the operating company, which he ran. Three months later Zelezny retaliated. He cut the switch on the old studios and began broadcasting from a new location, using a new operating company that he had set up....
In a recent interview with Engadget, Fares criticized the power of the PlayStation 4, basically saying it and other home consoles are holding back game development. He made these comments after discussing the motion capture animation and graphics in A Way Out, which he hopes to improve on in the months leading up to the game’s planned release in early 2018. Fares is correct in his position that video game consoles are weaker than top of the line PCs, and that if they were as powerful as PCs, games could be more impressive on a technical level....
a.Nichole’s life always was dedicated to helping others. She tended to others at work and the same at home. Her life was full of relationships where her role was to give. The issue was that she wasn’t getting anything in return. She had issues with boundaries, habitually breaking her own to take care of others. She’d say she was grandfathered into it, having a clinician for a father and a bipolar mother....

Needless to say, he expects to throw at least one on Saturday against the Browns. Rodgers finished last week’s 31-30 win against the Ravens tied with Pro Football Hall of Fame QB Brett Favre for the all-time Packers’ record in passing touchdowns at 442. “It’s been a special run for me to be able to follow up a legend, and hopefully I can break the record at home on Christmas next week,” Rodgers told Fox Sports’ Erin Andrews after the win....

The Hall of Presidents is a theater show staple at Disney’s Magic Kingdom in Florida, telling the story of the nation’s founding. All 45 presidents are present during the show as Audio-Animatronics that move and speak realistically.

Debuting with 2003’s Call of Duty for PC, the Call of Duty franchise has grown to become one of the most well-known and successful properties in gaming. While the series has often received praise for its single-player campaigns, the online multiplayer modes are what keeps many gamers buying each new Call of Duty release. Although the series’ multiplayer modes have developed a devoted following, some gamers have sworn off the franchise due to in-game voice and text chat that can be rife with racism, misogyny, and homophobia....

According to ESPN's Brett McMurphy, the leagues, for reasons unknown, do not consider the independent Cougars a "Power 5" opponent. That means if an ACC or SEC team schedules BYU, the game can't be used to satisfy an NCAA requirement that a school play at least one non-conference game against a Power 5 team or Notre Dame. That mandate goes into effect in 2017. MORE: Swofford: ACC to stay at 8 conference games | Hayes ranks ACC coaches...
