MORE: Best active NBA players by age The Rockets are clinging to eighth place with a 36-38 record after sleepwalking in the first half against the Pacers and seeing a second-half rally attempt fall short. The Mavericks are a half-game behind them in ninth place with a 35-38 record after allowing the Kings to have eight players score in double figures Sunday. In past years, neither team would be playoff material in the fiercely contested Western Conference....

Feature phones are a sizeable market still as older users reject smartphones and younger generations try and wean themselves off their smartphones. But these new phones are far from dumb. What gives the game away are the wireless earbuds hidden by a sliding mechanism in the back of the Nokia 5710 XpressAudio, one of three new feature phones from HMD, the Finnish company that licenses the Nokia phone brand....

Nomad Goods has produced its instantly recognizable bedside Base Station chargers for many years now. The thing that cemented its wireless charger status in the industry, however, was when Apple finally pulled the plug on its own AirPower charger. Without AirPower around, Nomad’s Base Station was left as an obvious choice for a design-focused dock anyone would be proud to display in their room. The Base Station Mini is an evolution of that refined design that is more suitable for other places around a house....

Also called noradrenaline, NE plays a key role in the “fight or flight” response by spiking your heart rate and blood pressure when your body believes it’s in danger. NE is similar to adrenaline and many experts believe it helps determine your basic levels of stimulation and arousal. It is linked to anxiety and depression. High levels are associated with feelings of joy, and sometimes euphoria. Since joy and euphoria aren’t exactly typical of fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS or ME/CFS), it’s no surprise that research suggests most people with these conditions have either low NE levels or that our bodies don’t use NE efficiently....

Did you think The Walking Dead would last this long when it started? I don’t think any of us had any idea that it would last that long. What advice would you give people to survive a zombie apocalypse? Bond together. Find people you can work with and have each other’s backs. What sort of adventures can people expect from the new season of Ride on AMC? We went to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Uruguay, Costa Rica....

In a statement during the assembly, the delegation said WHO member states should be “wary” of countries that are trying to use the “catastrophe for their impure political purposes.” The North Koreans didn’t mention any country by name but said it was an “expression of irresponsibility” to blame the WHO or one of the member states for the outbreak if a country ignored “the warnings of WHO with no proper action....

Rather than write a letter or issue a statement, President Stevo Pendarovski met with 11-year-old Embla Ademi and her family in person and walked the young girl to school himself, CNN reported. “The [p]resident said that the behavior of those who endanger children’s rights is unacceptable, especially when it comes to children with atypical development,” a statement from the president’s office said, according to CNN. “They should not only enjoy the rights they deserve but also feel equal and welcome in the school desks and schoolyard....

“I will now encourage everyone to drop the handshake and return to the infection-free way to greet,” Kjerkol said during a press conference. Norway withdrew most of its nationwide COVID-19 restrictions on September 25 that imposed limits on social interaction and hampered businesses for about 18 months, Reuters reported. Bent Hoeie, who was the country’s health minister at the time, said that “handshakes will again be allowed” when the measures were lifted....

Michael O’Neill’s side suffered a 3-1 defeat against Germany in their last match, but they are guaranteed to finish second in Group C. However, their place in the play-offs, while likely, is still dependent on the final series of results. Norway, on the other hand, are playing for pride given that they have no chance of making next year’s tournament in Russia. Victory for Lars Lagerback’s men could potentially see them finish in third place....

Churchill was overruled by Harry Truman, who believed in “the beneficent power of law and the wisdom of judges,” and by Stalin, who believed the opposite but was partial to show trials. Nuremberg almost came unstuck when Hermann Goring demolished his overemotional American accuser, Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson: it took a touch of Rumpole from his British cross-examiner to convict Goring on documents he had personally signed ordering crimes against humanity....

Seven times European champions Milan have failed to win any major silverware in the past five years and missed out on a qualification spot for Europe for a third successive campaign last season. “In Japan, there’s basically no booing. In Milan, I think there’s far too much of it,” Honda, who is back with the national team for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Iraq and Australia, was quoted as saying by the Kyodo news agency....

France have finally turned up at their own party. During the first four matches of their home competition, Didier Deschamps’ side looked a muddled, unconvincing outfit wracked with nerves. The failure to convince against Romania, Albania, Switzerland and Republic of Ireland raised serious questions over their tag as pre-tournament favourites’. However, their magnificent 5-2 trouncing of Iceland in Paris shows just why they were so highly favoured – and their next opponents Germany will not like what they saw....

But at 50, the league appears to be experiencing a midlife crisis. And fans, who still “love this game,” are finding themselves more than a bit disenchanted by the actual games. There are too many bad teams, too little scoring and too many overpriced players who can’t make a free throw with–or even without–the game on the line. As Charles Barkley explained to NEWSWEEK, “The league is going to hell in a handbasket....

MORE: Preseason Top 25 | Good job, CFP Coach Brian Kelly made the announcement Wednesday evening, and Jones confirmed the reasoning on his Twitter account, which indicated the sophomore coming up short of meeting “academic responsibility.” Playing in a limited role as a freshman last season, Jones caught 13 passes for 190 yards.
